Recent changes
- RelatedSites extension has been undeployed. It was used to create interwiki links on Wikivoyage, now handled by Wikidata. [1]
MediaWiki logstash logging is moving to a new infrastructure. This is an ongoing deployment. [2]- codesearch.wmflabs.org has been updated, with new and updated repositories and a new search options for code. [3]
- On several wikis, an account named "முறைகேடு வடிகட்டி" has been created on December 17 to perform some technical maintenance on AbuseFilter. This account has sysop rights but it's a system user and no human can use it. The account already existed on wikis where AbuseFilter can perform blocks, which are issued using this account. See T212268 for more information and future plans.
Problems
- In AbuseFilter, the "நெரித்துக" action takes three parameters: count, period and groups. They must now strictly respect the requirements listed on mediawiki.org. A list of broken filters is on Phabricator. If you're familiar with AbuseFilter, please take a look and fix them. [4]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 8. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from January 9. It will be on all wikis from January 10 (calendar).
Meetings

FileExporter beta feature[தொகு]
A new beta feature will soon be released on all wikis: The FileExporter. It allows exports of files from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, including their file history and page history. Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.
The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page.
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

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 now use Google Translate in the content translation tool. [5][6]
- You can now add captions to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup.
- Earlier a quoted HTML attribute had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [7][8]
- Templates with <templatestyles> could not show the difference between the live template and the sandbox version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. <templatestyles> has a new
wrapperparameter now. You can use it for selectors like.mw-parser-output <wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page>. [9]
Problems
- When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have tags. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [10]
Changes later this week
- You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new FileExporter. It will be a beta feature on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you activate it and check your wiki's configuration file.
- Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [11]
- The AbuseFilter variable
minor_edithas been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on Special:AbuseFilter. - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 15 17:54, 14 சனவரி 2019 (UTC)
No editing for 30 minutes on 17 January[தொகு]

Tech News
- Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta. [12]
Recent changes
- The content translation tool can now use version 2 as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature. For example it adds the tracking category
மதிப்பாய்வு செய்யப்படாத மொழிபெயர்ப்புகளைக் கொண்ட பக்கங்கள்to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category inSpecial:TrackingCategorieson Wikipedias. - https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF, EPUB or ODT. Previously this was 200 pages.
Problems
- When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [13]
- MassMessage is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [14][15]
- Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [16]
Changes later this week
- You will be able to use template styles in the
Modulenamespace. [17] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (calendar).

இந்திய விரித்திசையன் வரைகலைப் பரப்புரை 2019[தொகு]
இந்திய அளவில் நடந்த முதல் w:ta:விரித்திசையன் வரைகலை மேலதிக பயற்சியில் கலந்து கொண்ட ஒரே தமிழ் பங்களிப்பாளர் என்ற முறையில், விக்கிநூலில் அடிநிலை குறிப்புகளையும், வழிகாட்டுதல்களையும் நிழற், நிகழ்படங்களாகத் தொகுத்துள்ளேன். அவற்றின் துணைக் கொண்டு, இந்த பரப்புரையில் யாவரும் எளிதாக கலந்து கொள்ளலாம். ஏதேனும் ஐயங்கள் இருப்பின், எனது பேச்சுப்பக்கத்தில் தொடர்பு கொள்ளவும். மேலும், பயனுள்ள சில குறிப்புகள் வருமாறு;-
- ஒரு விவரப்படம், ஒரு குறுங்கட்டுரை போன்றது. பல படங்கள் ஏற்கனவே உருவாக்கப்பட்டு, தமிழ் மொழிக்குத் தேவையெனத் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. அதனை மொழிபெயர்ப்பு மட்டுமே தமிழில் நாம் செய்ய வேண்டும்.
- 2019 வருடம், பிப்ரவரி 21 முதல் மார்ச்சு மாதம் இறுதிவரை இந்த விழிப்புணர்வு பரப்புரை நடைபெற உள்ளது. இதற்கான திட்டப்பக்கம்
- ஓர் அறிமுக 'யூடியூப்' நிகழ்படம். மேலும் சில அடிப்படை நிகழ்படங்களை திட்டப்பக்கத்தில் காணலாம். விக்கிநூலில் தமிழ் நிகழ்படங்களைக் காணலாம்.
- கூகுள் குரோம் இயக்குதளக்கணினியில் அடிப்படை மென்பொருட்களை கட்டமைக்க இயலாத சூழ்நிலை உள்ளது என்ற குறிப்புரையைத் தருகிறேன். பிற இயக்குதளங்களில் எளிதே.
அனைவரும் கலந்து கொள்ள அழைக்கின்றேன். தொடர்வோம். வணக்கம்.--தகவலுழவன் (பேச்சு) 02:56, 21 பெப்ரவரி 2019 (UTC)
Talk to us about talking[தொகு]
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
- First, sign up your group here.
- Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
- Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
- When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
- What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
- What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
- What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
- What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
- Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

பேசுவதை பற்றி எங்களிடம் பேசுங்கள்[தொகு]
இது "Talk to us about talking" அறிவிப்பின் மொழிப்பெயர்க்கப்பட்ட பதிப்பாகும். மொழிப்பயெர்ப்பாளர்: பயனர்:Kaartic
விக்கிமீடியா நிறுவனம் கருத்து பரிமாறுதல் பற்றிய உலகளாவிய கலந்தாய்வு ஒன்றை திட்டமிடுகிறது. இதன் நோக்கம், கருத்து பரிமாறுதலுக்கான கருவிகளை மேம்படுத்துவதற்காக விக்கிமீடியர்கள் மற்றும் விக்கி- நோக்கமுள்ள மக்களை ஒன்று சேர்ப்பதாகும்.
நாங்கள் எல்லா பங்களிப்பாளர்களும் அவர்களின் அனுபவம், அவர்களின் திறமைகள் அல்லது அவர்கள் பயன்படுத்தும் கருவிகள் வேறுபாடின்றி விக்கியில் ஒருவர் மற்றொருவர் உடன் பேசிக்கொள்ள வேண்டும் என்று வேண்டுகிறோம்.
நாங்கள் முடிந்தவரை விக்கிமீடியா சமூகத்தின் பல்வேறு பகுதிகளிலிருந்தும் உள்ளீடுகளை தேடுகிறோம். உள்ளீடுகள் பல்வேறு திட்டங்களில் இருந்து, பல்வேறு மொழிகளில் மற்றும் பல்வேறு கண்ணோட்டத்தில் வரும்.
நாங்கள் இப்போது கலந்தாய்வை திட்டமிட்டு கொண்டிருக்கிறோம். எங்களுக்கு உங்களது உதவி வேண்டும்.
அவர்களது சமூகம் மற்றும் பயனர் குழுக்களுடன் பேசுவதற்கு உதவ எங்களுக்கு தன்னார்வலர்கள் தேவை.
நீங்கள் உங்களது விக்கியில் ஒரு கலந்துரையாடலை தொகுத்து வழங்கியோ அல்லது ஏற்கனவே இருக்கும் கலந்துரையாடலில் பங்கேற்றோ உதவலாம். நீங்கள் செய்ய வேண்டியவை:
- முதலில், உங்களது குழுவை பதிவு செய்யவும் அல்லது ஏற்கனவே ஒன்று இங்கே இருக்கிறதா என பார்க்கவும்.
- குழு ஏதும் இல்லையெனில், அடுத்து, உங்கள் குழுவில் இருக்கும் மற்ற மக்களிடம் இருந்து தகவல் சேகரிப்பதற்கு பக்கம் ஒன்றை உருவாக்கவும் (அல்லது ஆலமரத்தடி பக்கத்தில் ஒரு பகுதியை, அல்லது ஒரு மின்னஞ்சல் தொடரை - எது உங்களது குழுவிற்கு இயல்பானதோ அதை செய்யவும்). இது வாக்களிக்கும் அல்லது முடிவெடுக்கும் கலந்துரையாடல் அல்ல: நாங்கள் கருத்து மட்டுமே சேகரித்து கொண்டிருக்கிறோம்.
- அடுத்து, கருத்து பரிமாறும் செயல்முறைகள் பற்றி மக்கள் என்ன நினைக்கிறார்கள் என்று கேளுங்கள். விக்கியிலும் விக்கிக்கு வெளியிலும் மக்கள் எவ்வாறு கருத்து பரிமாறுகிறார்கள் என்பது பற்றிய கதை மற்றும் அது தொடர்பான தகவல்களை நாங்கள் கேட்க விரும்புகிறோம். பின்வரும் ஐந்து கேள்விகளை கேட்பதற்க்கு கருதுங்கள்:
- நீங்கள் உங்களது சமூகத்துடன் ஒரு விஷயத்தை பற்றி கலந்துரையாட வேண்டும் போது உங்களுக்கு உதவும் கருவிகள் யாவை, மற்றும் உங்களுக்கு தடையாக வரும் பிரச்சனைகள் யாவை?
- புதிய பயனர்கள் எவ்வாறு பேச்சுப் பக்கத்தை பயன்படுத்துகிறார்கள்? மேலும் அவர்கள் அதை பயன்படுத்துவதை தடுப்பது என்ன?
- உங்கள் சமூகத்தில் இருக்கும் மற்றவர்கள் பேச்சுப் பக்கம் தொடர்பாக சந்திக்கும் சிரமங்கள் யாவை?
- நீங்கள் பேச்சுப் பக்கங்களில் செய்ய விரும்பும் எந்த விஷயங்களை தொழில்நுட்ப வரையறைகளால் செய்ய முடியவில்லை?
- ஒரு "விக்கி கலந்துரையாடலின்" முக்கிய அம்சங்கள் என்ன?
- இருதியாக, மீடியாவிக்கியில் இருக்கும் பேச்சு பக்கங்களின் கலந்தாய்வு 2019 பக்கத்தில் உங்கள் குழிவிடம் இருந்து நீங்கள் தெரிந்து கொண்டதை கூறவும். கலந்துரையாடலின் இணைப்பு பொதுவாக கிடைக்கும் என்றால், அதையும் சேர்க்கவும்.
மேலும் மக்கள் ஒருவரோடு ஒருவர் பேசிக் கொள்ளும் பல்வேறு விதங்கள் பற்றிய பட்டியலை உருவாக்க நீங்கள் உதவலாம்.
விக்கியிலோ அல்லது விக்கியை சுற்றியோ செயலில் இருக்கும் அனைத்து குழுக்களும் கலந்துரையாட ஒரே வழியை பயன்படுத்துவதில்லை. கலந்துரையாடல் விக்கியிலோ, சமூக வலைப்பின்னல்களிலோ, வெளிப்புற கருவிகளைக் கொண்டோ நடக்கலாம். உங்கள் குழு எவ்வாறு கலந்துரையாடுகிறது என்று எங்களுக்கு சொல்லுங்கள்.
மீடியாவிக்கியில் நீங்கள் ஒட்டுமொத்த செயல்முறை பற்றி மேலும் படிக்க முடியும். கலந்தாய்வின் செயல்முறையைப் பற்றி உங்களுக்கு கேள்விகளோ அல்லது யோசனைகளோ இருந்தால், நீங்கள் விரும்பும் மொழியில் கருத்து தெரிவிக்க முடியும்.
மிக்க நன்றி! உங்களுடன் பேசுவதை நாங்கள் எதிர்பார்த்திருக்கிறோம்.

Recent changes
- The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [32]
Problems
- There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [33]
- The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [34]
- Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [35]

- You will be able to preview references. This means that when you hover over the link you will get a popup that shows you a preview of the reference. It will work much like page previews. This is so you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will now be available as a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia. [45][46]
- The Wikidata JSON output will change. Empty containers will be serialised as empty objects. This is a breaking change that will affect tools that use JSON outputs and APIs. It will happen on 30 April. You can read more and see how to test your code.
