User talk:Jberkel/2015

This page shows conversations on my talkpage from late 2014-2015.

Portuguese conjugation module
Hi Jberkel. If you plan on creating the module, feel free to use the data from previous attempt. — Ungoliant (falai) 17:47, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It's in progress: User:Jberkel/pt-conj-test. I'm getting confused with these talk pages. Where are you supposed to reply ? Jberkel (talk) 03:32, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Wait! The first-person plural imperative exists! — Ungoliant (falai) 14:24, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
 * oops. i'll add it back Jberkel (talk) 14:41, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Conjugation Table for Volapük Verbs
Hi, I wonder if you're able to import this conjugation table for Volapük verbs and even modify it, at least on a visual scale. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 16:46, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It shouldn't be too difficult, would need to write a regular expression to handle it, if i understand it correctly it's in the form, so you would need to extract pi+(stem?)+ob+vo (suffix?) Jberkel (talk) 12:10, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I think that "link preto" is a Portuguese template. Besides, the possible template could be written in Lua through a module. I also think  should be converted to Lua. Don't worry, don't hurry, perhaps? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 12:43, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't the Volapük edition of Wiktionary be the best source for grammar templates / modules ? Jberkel (talk) 13:52, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The conjugation table for Volapük verbs at the Volapük edition only shows eleven verb forms. You can have a look at binön there for a comparison between that and its counterpart entry at the Portuguese edition. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 14:54, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I ♥ Wiktionary Jberkel (talk) 22:49, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Module:ScribuntoUnit
There is already Module:UnitTests. Please do not copy modules from Wikipedia as they go. — Keφr 14:11, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I started off with Module:UnitTests but found it quite limiting and it looks like it's been cobbled together in 5 minutes. Module:ScribuntoUnit is better written and documented. And If we want to get more people to write unit tests we need better tools. The XUnit approach and assert method naming in ScribuntoUnit is pretty much standard ( vs.  ). And there isn't even the most basic   in  Module:UnitTests, or at least I couldn't find it.  – Jberkel (talk) 14:45, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * lua — though personally, I think if you need to test boolean conditions, your test is badly designed in the first place. I understand and care nothing about the XUnit talk. For all I can see, Module:ScribuntoUnit is the same thing as Module:UnitTests but with differently named methods. — Keφr 15:42, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Well that's certainly not the most readable assertion.  just happens to be the most basic building block to create tests (e.g.  ), so I don't agree with your point about bad design. Module:UnitTests is messy and has badly named methods. And method names do matter, they increase the readability and help to express the intent of the test.   just doesn't mean anything and is bad API design. I also like that Module:ScribuntoUnit already has some useful built-in assertions so they don't have to  be reimplemented in every test. I don't see the problem of using different test frameworks, having tests should be the first priority, not which lib they use.  – Jberkel (talk) 19:09, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * When you have a failing test case, you probably want to know how it fails: how the output differs from what was expected. If all you pass to the testing framework is a single boolean value, you cannot get that. Discouraging that is a feature.
 * As I see, nobody is using  (or   for that matter) anyway, it can be just removed. — Keφr 18:27, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right, it's good to know why tests fail, and that's why the whole group of  methods are so useful. To follow the example, you could have a lua which would automatically fail with "expected X to be greater than 10". Alternatively you can pass a message to lua which will get printed when the test fails: lua. Or another option, use one assertion per test and name the test so that it is immediately clear what failed:  lua – Jberkel (talk) 15:13, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Consolidation of alternative forms
The polite thing to do is to leave the original entry as the lemma and the later entries as alternative forms. — Ungoliant (falai) 02:10, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, was wondering about this when I did the edit, thanks for letting me know, guess I should have asked first. But now I understand why there are so many entries with mixed spellings cross-referencing each other. Jberkel (talk) 02:18, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

bem-disposto
Where did you find the alternative form ? I’m not sure it exists. — Ungoliant (falai) 14:45, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I don't remember, it's probably non-existent, can't find anything. I probably assumed a wrong analogy from . Removed. – Jberkel (talk) 15:16, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

WT:ATTEST
You have recently tagged a few Spanish words, such as velociraptores, and said they do not exist. This is patently untrue; you can look at and see that such words do exist. The policy I've linked to above explains how we determine what content is appropriate for Wiktionary. Please do not tag any more such entries unless they actually are in contravention of what we allow. Thank you —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:57, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I tagged them because the plural form linked to a entry which did not exist, so it looked like a bot created these without verification. I see that the singular form now got created. So if not RFV, what's the right tag for these kind of cases? Cleanup? Jberkel (talk) 22:39, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * There is no tag; if the singular form doesn't exist, you should create it. (Also, even if a bot creates something, you shouldn't assume it is in error, and you can easily see that it wasn't a bot, but a person, that made these entries.) —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:15, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * How can you easily see it was a person, and not a script? Maybe not a bot, but it could have been semi-automated. The user who created these entries is currently blocked (because of disruptive edits). Just speculating here, but a script would create the plural form and then fail (or just skip) the creation of the main entry since it already exists (for another language). A "human" would very likely create the main form first, and then the plurals. Anyway that's all speculation, but maybe it will help you understand why I was suspicious in the first place. – Jberkel (talk) 01:38, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, it makes sense that you wouldn't know Wonderfool or how he made the entry. But the point was that no matter who makes an entry, we judge it by the CFI, as linked to above, and not by whether anyone thinks it's real or how it was made. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:50, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

You've got mail
You've got mail. Cheers! --Daniel Carrero (talk) 22:07, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

DON'T REVERT MY EDITIONS IF THEY'RE NOT WRONG!
"You smell" is too short. I wanted to show longer example.

Tbeyor (talk) 23:12, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Tbeyor
 * First of all, examples should be short. Your contribution is ungrammatical and inappropriate. The sense your are describing is negative ("to stink"), so "like" does not fit well in the same sentence. Jberkel (talk) 23:32, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

 * That example sentence is not appropriate in the least. Secondly, don't yell at other contributors. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:03, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, man
I make gramatical errors because English is not my native language. I don't want the examples to be too short but I won't be arguing with you anymore.

User talk:Jberkel/2016

This page shows conversations on my talkpage from 2016.

Just saw your message about WingerBot source
Sorry, I've been using a different account recently. I made the link private for various reasons but I can share the source code with you if you want. Benwing2 (talk) 21:35, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * No worries, I'd still like to get the source if possible, thanks! Jberkel (talk) 10:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * It's a bit of a mess now but I'll collect things together tomorrow. Ping me in about 3 days if you don't hear back by then. Benwing2 (talk) 11:39, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * ping – Jberkel (talk) 11:34, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi. I temporarily made the source for WingerBot public. There are actually three repositories now:
 * has the original WingerBot code (mostly Arabic, some Russian code and some general tools such as rewrite.py for regex-based search/replace)
 * has most of the Russian code
 * has some additional Russian code, e.g. for auto-adding pronunciations
 * Not sure how long I will leave them public, so you might want to clone them now. Benwing2 (talk) 08:30, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * BTW there is a whole lot of code. If you are interested in writing your own code, check out some of the shorter scripts in RuNounChanges, and check out blib.py (a heavily modified version of code originally from CodeCat) and rulib.py (general Russian utility functions). If you have any questions about what the scripts do, feel free to ask. Benwing2 (talk) 08:33, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * thanks, that's very helpful as a starting point, all cloned now. About the lua code in the repos, is this for reference or does the bot actually use it as well? If not, do you port code over from lua to python? – Jberkel (talk) 13:44, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The Lua code is just older versions of the various modules that I've written, not used by the bots. I've ported some Lua code to Python, e.g. rulib.py is partly a port of Module:ru-common. I also ported all of Module:ar-translit for use in my bot script that harmonizes Arabic with its transliteration (transferring short vowel info from the transliteration to the Arabic script) and similarly for Module:ru-translit and Module:grc-translit. In many cases I actually have the bot call the Lua code using blib.expand_text, which uses pywikibot's site.expand_text call to expand template text. For example, when generating Russian non-lemma forms, I call and, which generate all the inflections for a given noun or verb. Benwing2 (talk) 16:59, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah ok. Do you know of any bots written in lua? I think using one single language makes more sense, and we would not have to port code between lua and python. – Jberkel (talk) 14:58, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't. The thing is, pywikibot makes life easy writing in Python, and I don't think there's any Lua equivalent. I imagine it would be a lot more work. What kind of things do you have in mind to create a bot for? Benwing2 (talk) 15:50, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Correct, it would be a lot more work, but it would make it easier for other editors who already know lua to contribute. Right now I'd like to create a bot for some things I'm doing manually, like replacing plain links with templates, and also to help out with WT:TASK. Jberkel (talk) 12:27, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, a lot more people know Python than Lua ... I had to learn Lua specifically for Wiktionary. Python and Javascript are the two most common scripting languages. If you want to get started by modifying my code, check out something like fix_ru_phrase.py in RuNounChanges; this is a short script that converts head= parameters in invocations to use param 1= instead. It should be pretty easy to follow what's going on here (it uses pywikibot to handle  loading and saving pages, and mwparserfromhell to handle parsing and changing templates; you have to install both of these packages first). I also have a script to specifically replace plain links with template calls (fix_links.py), but it's somewhat longer and more involved than fix_ru_phrase.py, because it tries to do various clever things (e.g. infer the correct language for the link, and automatically convert a parenthesized transliteration to a tr= argument, but only if it's sufficiently similar to the automatic transliteration of the term, so that it doesn't convert other random parenthesized notes into tr= arguments). You can write a much simpler script to do this if you have it confirm each change first. Benwing2 (talk) 18:34, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Moving lists to Wikisaurus
I don't believe there is consensus for moving lists of synonyms out of mainspace to Wikisaurus. Hence my revert. I saw multiple people express dissatisfaction with syn lists being in Wikisaurus rather than in the mainspace which is why I never remove synonym lists from the mainspace. --Dan Polansky (talk) 14:35, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

"headword cleanup using AWB"
I hope is a fluke. Please check. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 13:13, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Looks like you were faster, but thanks for the notification. I'm done with the cleanup now (there're still lots of wrong abbreviations but I'll leave that for another time). I'll go through the list of changes again to make sure there aren't any other broken entries. – Jberkel (talk) 17:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

OTRS
I just noticed that you've dealt with the tickets that just came in. I only became an agent because nobody else was dealing with the backlog of tickets in the Wiktionary queue, but I would prefer not to have another responsibility on my plate. Are you intending to be continually active on OTRS? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 16:17, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes! At least right now the number of incoming tickets is easily doable by one person. – Jberkel (talk) 16:55, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Eisheilige
An IP added a rfc for this entry. I'm not sure how substantivised adjectives should be entered according to the conventions for German, but if the masculine should go to, the feminine form can stay at the current entry. Could you look into the rfc? (Also, is the correct IPA transcription?) Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 15:31, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I checked, it's actually somewhat complicated. There are 4 different saints for 4 different days (3 male + 1 female). So "die Eisheiligen" can refer to all of them, or possibly just the male saints. "die Eisheilige" unambiguously refers just to the female saint. "der Eisheilige" could refer to any of the 3 male saints. So yes, we do need an entry for  + an entry for (die)  (weak declination + article). Duden currently only lists the latter (although the singular clearly exists). I'm not an IPA expert but the transcription looks correct. – Jberkel (talk) 23:20, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've put an identical plural meaning at both and  for now, and added individual meanings as well. Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 11:10, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Could it be that also has some idiomatic meaning similar to ? Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 14:11, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Placenames that don't take an article
You may want to create a templatised usage note for that, since very many placenames fall under this category (most names of cities, for example). — Ungoliant (falai) 12:52, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I think that's too broad – the usage notes should only mention exceptions to general rules (i.e. cities which take the article, like, or countries which don't take an article). It might still make sense to create a template to avoid copy&paste though, even if it is just for a few entries. Jberkel (talk) 13:52, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Something I've considerde doing is adding this information to the headword-line template, so that the HWL of an entry like would says "Portugal (m, doesn't take an article)", possibly with a link to some appendix. What do you think? — Ungoliant (falai) 15:42, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't think that's worth the trouble, given that there aren't that many entries which need it. It will also make the HWL template more complex. The appendix might actually be a better place for this kind of information but I suspect it will very likely get ignored there. – Jberkel (talk) 23:57, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-16
 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 add  to the end of the URL on Wikimedia wikis to disable your personal CSS and JavaScript. Example:  . This means you can test if a problem is because of your user scripts or gadgets without uninstalling them.
 * You can now see a list of all autoblocks on Special:AutoblockList.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Wikiversity and Wikinews logos are now shown directly from the configuration and not from . If you want to change logo or have an anniversary logo, see how to request a configuration change. This is how it already works for other projects. They can request logo changes the same way.

Problems
 * Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for 20 to 30 minutes on 19 April. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. You can read more about this. This will also happen on 3 May.

Changes this week
 * There is no new Mediawiki version this week. This is because of the data centre test.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg 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 at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * stats.wikimedia.org will be replaced. You can see the new prototype. You can leave feedback on this change.
 * Page Previews will be turned on for logged-out users on a large number of wikis in May. It could be postponed and happen later. Page Previews shows readers a short part of a linked article when they rest their mouse pointer on the link. This is to help them understand what it is about without leaving the article they are reading. Page Previews used to be called Hovercards. Users who have tested the feature can give feedback.
 * Octicons-tools.svg From next week, user scripts using very old deprecated wikibits functions will show errors. These functions have not worked since 2013. You should fix or disable broken scripts. You can see examples of how to upgrade scripts.

Tech News: 2017-17
 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
 * New filters for recent changes are now available as a beta feature on most wikis. You can turn it on in your preferences. Remaining wikis will have the new filters on 9 May.
 * When administrators, bureaucrats and stewards make a user a member of a user group they can now set an expiry date. A user group is for example "administrators" or "bots". This means that they can give someone user rights for a limited time. This is similar to how blocks and page protections can be limited in time. Special:UserRights will have new options for this.

Removing the right lang parameter
I've been cleaning up some cases where the template with the redundant lang parameter was nested inside another template, and you removed the parameter from the outer template. Please keep an eye out for this. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 13:37, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the regex was a bit too greedy initially, should be fixed now. – Jberkel (talk) 19:42, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

 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 content translation tool works again. It was turned off because of a database problem.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Scripts using very old deprecated wikibits functions show errors. These functions have not worked since 2013. You should fix or disable broken scripts. You can see examples of how to upgrade scripts. This is the same thing as Tech News wrote about in issue 2017/16. You need to add  block for your scripts also, or add   dependency in gadget ResourceLoader section in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition.

Problems
 * Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for 20 to 30 minutes on 3 May. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. You can read more about this.

Changes this week
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week. This is because of the data centre test.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg 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 2 May at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * All Wikimedia wikis will have cookie blocks from May 8. This is an extension to the autoblock system so when a user is blocked, the next time they visit the wiki a cookie will be set. This means that even if the user switches accounts and to a new IP address the cookie will block them again.
 * The,   and   buttons will look slightly different. This is to fit with the OOUI look. Users can test scripts, gadgets and so on to see if they work with the new interface by adding   to the URL.

Problems
 * Some users have a problem with the watchlist. Some changes in categories make the watchlist a blank page. The developers are working on this. Until this is fixed you can try some things that have helped other editors if you have this problem. You can turn on  in your watchlist preferences. You can turn off   in your watchlist preferences. You can remove problematic categories from Special:EditWatchlist/raw.
 * There was a problem with the visual editor for several days. You could not save edits that triggered a CAPTCHA. This would for example be when a new user added external links in references. This was fixed on 2 May.

Changes this week
 * When you edit you can switch between the visual editor and the wikitext editor. This works if the wiki you edit has the visual editor. The menu will now say  and   instead of   and  . This is because it was confusing when the menu said you could switch to the editor you were already using.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 May. It will be on all wikis from 11 May (calendar).

Future changes
 * You will be able to get a notification when a page you created is connected to a Wikidata item. This will come to Wikivoyage on 9 May. If there are no problems it will come to most Wikipedias on 30 May. It will come to other projects and English, French and German Wikipedia later in the summer. It will be opt-in for existing users and opt-out for new users.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Markup that looks like code for language variants might need to be fixed. If  is used in transclusions or web addresses it has to be escaped appropriately. You can use   for transclusions and   in web addresses. A transclusion could for example be when you use   in a template:  . This is because of some code fixes to the preprocessor and affects all wikis.

 * The Two Column Edit Conflict View is available as a beta feature on all wikis. It is a new interface for the edit conflict resolution page.

Problems
 * The  library does not load automatically any more. Your Special:MyPage/common.js may use it. If you have technical problems that started a couple of weeks ago you can try adding   as the first line in the file and   as a last one. Tech News wrote about this in the 2017/18 issue.

Changes this week
 * The RevisionSlider extension will be a default feature on all wikis. RevisionSlider is an easier way to move between changes in the page history. It has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia and a beta feature on all wikis. You will be able to turn it off in your preferences.
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

This is because of some code fixes to the preprocessor and affects all wikis. You can now see the full list of wikis with this problem and help fix them to avoid that things break later this month. You might find false positives. You can read more about what to fix.

Older unreported changes
 * Your Meta user page is shown on all wikis where you don't have a local user page. You can now add the magic word  to your Meta user page to stop this.

Recent changes
 * You can see new files on Special:NewFiles. You can now pick which dates you want to see files from.
 * When you read Wikipedia on a mobile device the first paragraph now comes before the infobox.

 * New users on Wikivoyages and Wikipedias (except French, English and German) now get a notification when a page they created is connected to Wikidata. Other wikis will get it 13 June.

Problems
 * The MediaWiki version from two weeks ago was rolled back. It was fixed late last week. Changes that were planned to go out last week did not happen.

Changes this week
 * Wikimedia wikis can show fewer links to articles in other languages. This is to make it easier to find the languages likely to be useful to the reader or editor. Everyone can still click to see the full list. Logged-in users who use the compact language links will see languages they have in their Babel box on their user page in the first, shorter list. You can turn the compact language list off or on in your preferences.
 * You can choose what dates to look at when you look at a user's contributions.
 * When you click on your watchlist in the mobile view you get a list of all pages in the watchlist instead of the latest changes to them. Logged-in users with at least ten edits will now get the latest changes instead.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 June. It will be on all wikis from 8 June (calendar).
 * Octicons-tools.svg String comparisons in Scribunto modules are now always done case-insensitively by byte order. Before they were sometimes in a case-sensitive US-English collation order. This could break some modules.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg 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 6 June at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

 * Wikimedia wikis use OCG to create PDFs. The OCG code has a lot of problems and will stop working. It has to be replaced. An alternative is Electron. You can tell the developers what you need the PDF service to be able to do. Electron already works on German Wikipedia. It will be on English Wikipedia later this week so you can test it there too.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Architecture Committee will change and get a new name. You can read and comment on the draft that describes the new committee.

 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
 * Some wikis have the larger and brighter OOjs UI edit page buttons. When you write an edit summary there you can now see how many bytes you have left before the summary is too long.

 * Wikimedia wikis use OCG to create PDFs. The OCG code has a lot of problems and will stop working. It has to be replaced. An alternative is Electron. You can tell the developers what you need the PDF service to be able to do. Electron now works on all Wikimedia projects.
 * Administrators can soon search for deleted page titles and find results that are similar to what they searched for. Today the search only finds pages that are exactly the same as what you search for. This is to make it easier to find pages when you don't know the exact title. Administrators on Arabic, Catalan, English, Persian, German, Italian, Polish, and Russian Wikipedia and on mediawiki.org can test this by adding  to the end of the web address when looking at Special:Undelete.

 * You can now see which Wikipedia language versions are read in a specific country. This tool is called Wikipedia Views Visualized.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Architecture Committee is now the Wikimedia Technical Committee. You can read the charter.

Problems
 * You can get an email when a page on your watchlist was edited. You can choose not to get emails for minor edits. There is a bug that means that you then don't get an email when someone does a normal edit after a minor edit. The developers are working on fixing this. Until it has been fixed you can activate "" at the bottom of "" in your preferences if you want to.
 * The thanks button sometimes didn't work for mobile users. This was because of a new bug and has now been fixed.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 August. It will be on all wikis from 10 August (calendar).

Future changes
 * Editors and readers who still use Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP will not be able to use Wikipedia. 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.
 * Links to sections on Wikipedia don't work well in languages that don't use the Latin script. The URL in the address bar in your browser shows Latin characters like  instead of the section heading in the wiki's language. Links to sections in non-Latin scripts will be in the script of that wiki in the future. This will happen in the next few months.
 * Wiki pages printed by the web browser "Print" function will have an updated style. This new style will be similar to the when you download a page as PDF. It will be better at showing tables, infoboxes and headings.

Recent changes
 * Syntax highlighting is now a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It will come to right-to-left wikis later. This beta feature is based on CodeMirror.
 * You will 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. You can turn this off or choose to get an email notification in your preferences. You can also turn on to get an email when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address.

Problems
 * Some pages show the error . This problem happens on pages with a Lua module that use Wikidata. This has now been fixed and no new pages will get this problem. You still need to fix pages that were broken before and still show the error message. You can see how on this page.

Changes later this week

The developers are now asking if editors need exceptions. This is where you want to use global settings on almost all wikis, but have some wikis where you want it to work in a different way. If you want this you need to tell the developers now. You can do so on the talk page.

Tech News: 2017-50

 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
 * URLs that link to sections on Wikimedia wikis with non-Latin scripts have looked like this:  instead of  . This has now been fixed on all wikis. Old links will still work.
 * A new tag marks edits where a redirect was created or removed. This still works when the editor writes something else in the edit summary. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist.
 * If you use Chrome on Android, you can now use the print to PDF button to create a PDF of an article.
 * Filter by number of edits or filter by time range have been grouped on a same menu on the recent changes page if you use the new filters. The "" link is now more prominent.
 * Some of the web fonts that were provided by the Universal Language Selector extension are being removed. This is to reduce the load time on pages. The web fonts were added many years ago to help users read text in scripts which did not have fonts or had broken fonts. This is not the case any more. You can check the status page for a list of all web fonts and whether they are currently being used and especially for special requirements.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 December. It will be on all wikis from 14 December (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg 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 12 December at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2017-51

 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News
 * Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2018.

Problems
 * When you import a page from another wiki the usernames of the users who edited the article on the wiki you imported it from are shown in the article history. This should link to the users on the original wiki. A script to fix this caused problems for Wikidata and German Wikipedia. It also created a large number of SUL accounts on wikis where editors had never edited.
 * Some bot owners got email about their bots logging in from a new computer. If this is from one or a couple of wikis, you can turn these messages off in your preferences on those wikis until the problem has been solved. If not, you can report more about the problem in Phabricator.

Changes later this week
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg 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 at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Files on Commons will have structured metadata in the future. The developers are now looking for examples of different kinds of metadata to make sure they are aware of them when they build prototypes for structured data on Commons. You can read more and help by giving examples of interesting media files.
 * The Structured Commons team are making sure Commons work with structured data. If you regularly contribute to Commons and Wikidata you can answer a survey that helps the team prioritise the tools that are important for the Commons and Wikidata communities. The survey ends on 22 December. You can read more on Commons. You can also help the team decide on better names for "captions" and "descriptions". This ends on 3 January 2018.
 * The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey has now ended. You can see the results. They decide what the Community Tech team will work on next year.
