Wikidata weekly summary #704

Dernier commentaire : il y a 10 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2025-11-03. Missed the previous one? See issue #703.

Discussions

Closed request for adminship: Samoasambia
New requests for permissions/Bot: langCodesBot - Task(s): Python script to automate the cleanup of deprecated language codes (e.g., kr) from Wikidata items. Delete or move labels, descriptions, and aliases based on comparisons with fallback and related languages. The script uses the Pywikibot framework to process each item and logs cases it skips due to data inconsistencies or ambiguity to a CSV file for manual review.
New request for comments: Exhibition models by Hexatekin - This proposal focuses on standardizing models for art exhibitions. There is not a consistent data model used for art exhibitions that factors in parent-child relationships for traveling exhibitions, show series, or biennials, despite these being important and common types of events in international art history.

Events

Past:
- Happy Birthday, Wikidata 🎉! We celebrated Wikidata’s 13th birthday with a community call to unveil presents and play games. Check out the replay of the event and the cool gifts people made: Wikidata:Thirteenth Birthday/Presents & messages
- WikidataCon: You can catch up on the recordings and slides in the program
- Wikidata Workshop at ISWC: You can catch up on the published papers on the website.

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

Tool of the week The Wikidata Reference Validator by User:JosefAnthony helps check and replace broken or outdated references — keeping Wikidata’s knowledge verifiable and trustworthy. It checks whether external references are still accessible or offline, so we can ensure that every statement on Wikidata shows how we know what we know.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

Wikidata has been recognized as a digital public good by the Digital Public Goods Alliance

Tech News: 2025-45

Dernier commentaire : il y a 10 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

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

Updates for editors

Administrators will now find that Spécial:Fusionner les historiques is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start).
For users with "S’abonner automatiquement aux sujets" enabled in their preferences, starting a new topic or adding a reply to an existing topic will now subscribe them to replies to that topic. Previously, this would only happen if the DiscussionTools "Ajouter un sujet" or "Répondre" widgets were used. When DiscussionTools was originally launched existing accounts were not opted in to automatic topic subscriptions, so this change should primarily affect newer accounts and users who have deliberately changed their preferences since that time.
Scribunto modules can now be used to generate SVG images. This can be used to build charts, graphics and other visualizations dynamically through Lua, reducing the need to compose them externally and upload them as files.
Wikimedia sites now provide all anonymous users with the option to enable a dark mode color scheme, featuring light-colored text on a dark background. This enhancement aims to deliver a more enjoyable reading experience, especially in dimly lit environments.
Users with large watchlists have long faced timeouts when editing Special:EditWatchlist. The page now loads entries in smaller sections instead of all at once due to a paging update, allowing everyone to edit their watchlists smoothly. As part of the database update, sorting by expiry has been removed because it was over 100× slower than sorting by title. A community wish has been created to explore alternative ways to restore sort-by-expiry. If this feature is important to you, please support the wish!
View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the fixing of the persisting highlighting when using VisualEditor find and replace during a query.

Updates for technical contributors

Since 2019 the Wikimedia URL Shortener at https://w.wiki is available for all Wikimedia wikis to create short links to articles, permalinks, diffs, etc. It is available in the sidebar as "Get shortened URL". There are 30 wikis that also install an older "ShortUrl" extension. The old extension will soon be removed. This means /s/ URLs will not be advertised under article titles via HTML class="title-shortlink". The /s/ URLs will keep working.
On Thursday, October 30, the MediaWiki Interfaces and SRE Service Operations teams began rerouting Action API traffic through a common API gateway. Individual wikis will be updated based on the standard release groups, with total traffic increased over time. This change is expected to be non-breaking and non-disruptive. If any issues are observed, please file a Phabricator ticket to the Service Ops team board.
MediaWiki Train deployments will pause for the final two weeks of 2025: 22 December and 29 December. Backport windows will also pause between Monday, 22 December 2025 and Thursday, 2 January 2026. A backport window is a scheduled time to add things like bug fixes and configuration changes. There are seven deployment trains remaining for 2025.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

In 2025, the Wikimedia Foundation reported that AI systems and search engines increasingly use Wikipedia content without driving users to the site, contributing to an 8% drop in human pageviews compared to 2024. After detecting bots disguised as humans, Wikimedia updated its traffic data to reflect this shift. Read more about current user trends on Wikipedia in a Diff blog post.

L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Eric Badonnel » est débattue

Dernier commentaire : il y a 6 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Page proposée au débat d'admissibilité

Bonjour BonifaceFR,

L’article « Eric Badonnel ^{(page supprimée)} » fait l'objet d'un débat d'admissibilité (cf. Wikipédia:Débat d'admissibilité). Il débouchera sur la conservation, la suppression ou la fusion de l'article. Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion:Eric Badonnel/Admissibilité.

Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus pour la conservation de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes. Si vous ne pouvez trouver de telles sources, c’est que l’article n’est probablement pas admissible. N’oubliez pas que les principes fondateurs de Wikipédia ne garantissent aucun droit à avoir un article sur Wikipédia.

Tech News: 2026-11

Dernier commentaire : il y a 6 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

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

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.
View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue where the cursor became misaligned during the use of CodeMirror’s syntax highlighting, which makes wikitext and code easier to read, has now been fixed. 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 give feedback. You can also sign up for usability tests.
The PTAC Unsupported Tools Working Group continued improvements to Video2Commons in February, with fixes addressing authentication errors, large-file handling, task queue visibility, and clearer upload behavior. Work is still ongoing in some areas, including changes related to deprecated server-side uploads. Read this update to learn more.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

The Article Guidance team invites experienced Wikipedia editors from selected pilot wikis and interested contributors from other Wikipedias to fill out this questionnaire which is available in English, Arabic, Bengali, Japanese, Portuguese, Persian, and Turkish. Your answers will help the team customize guidance for less experienced editors and help them learn community policies and practices while creating an article. Learn more on the project page.

Development

Mobile statement editing:
- If you have not tried it yet, now is an excellent time to turn it on in the beta features section of your preferences, test it and give feedback.
- We have added support for editing globe coordinate statements
Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects: We are continuing to work on the issue of too many Wikidata in recent changes and watchlists on Wikipedia and co. We are currently prototyping a way to only consider changes that actually have an impact on the article (phab:T419823). We also finished the work on an emergency switch to turn off sending changes for qualifiers and references to Wikipedia and co in case of major database disruptions (phab:T412956).
Ontology federation: We are working towards getting the code for ontology federation (in its first version of using Wikidata Items as values on other Wikibase instances) ready for wider testing.

Tech News: 2026-12

Dernier commentaire : il y a 5 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

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

Updates for editors

The ⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽ 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 Spécial:AnciennesPagesRelues 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'.
View all 28 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the bug that prevented UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons from importing files from Flickr has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

A new special page, Spécial: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: Spécial:LintTemplateErrors/night-mode-unaware-background-color.
Users of the ⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽ 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., Spécial: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.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Tech News: 2026-13

Dernier commentaire : il y a 5 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

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

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 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.

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.
View all 36 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the bug that prevented mobile web users from seeing the block information when affected by multiple blocks has been fixed. They can now see messages of all the blocks currently affecting them when they access Wikipedia.

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 mediawiki.org. Learn more on the project page.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

En lumière cette semaine

Le version Beta de Abstract Wikipedia, un nouveau projet Wikimédia indépendant du langage, a été lancée la semaine dernière. Ce projet permet aux communautés de construire des articles Wikipédia dans leur langue natale, qui peuvent directement être lus par les autres utilisateurs et utilisatrices dans leur propre langage. Le wiki fonctionne grâce à des instructions de Wikifunctions et au contenu structuré issu de Wikidata. En savoir plus.

Actualités pour la contribution

L'équipe Croissance mène un test A/B afin d'évaluer l'effet d'un message plus clair et plus convivial encourageant à la création de comptes sur les wikis. Actuellement, lorsqu'un utilisateur mobile non connecté lance la modification, un message d'avertissement s'affiche, pouvant paraître abrupt et décourageant. Il présente également la modification par compte temporaire comme option par défaut, au lieu d'inciter à la création d'un compte. Le test est mené sur dix Wikipédia, dont les versions en arabe, français, espagnol et allemand. En savoir plus.
L'équipe des applications Wikimédia sollicite vos commentaires sur comment devrait fonctionner l'édition dans les applications mobiles Wikipédia. La discussion porte sur l'amélioration de l'accès aux outils d'édition lorsque les utilisateurs appuient sur « Modifier ». Cette initiative s'inscrit dans un effort plus large visant à offrir aux lecteurs intéressés par la contribution une expérience utilisateur plus intuitive.
Voir les 45 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème avec la récupération de citations à partir du site d'archive de journaux Newspapers.com, qui ne fonctionnait plus en raison d'un blocage des requêtes Citoid, a maintenant été résolu.

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

Actualités pour la contribution

L’extension CampaignEvents comprend désormais une nouvelle fonctionnalité de définition d’objectifs de groupe, permettant aux organisateurs de définir et de suivre les objectifs de l’événement, tels que le nombre d’articles créés et de contributeurs participants en temps réel. De même, les participants peuvent travailler vers des cibles communes et voir leur impact collectif au fur et à mesure que l’événement se déroule. Cette fonctionnalité est désormais disponible sur tous les wikis Wikimedia. Pour en savoir plus, consultez la documentation.
La nouvelle fonctionnalité d'étiquettes de liste de suivi (annoncée dans les Actualités techniques 2026-07 ) est désormais disponible via l'ÉditeurVisuel, l'éditeur de code et l'«étoile de suivi»(ou le lien de suivi, pour les habillages qui n'ont pas d'icône d'étoile). Auparavant, il n'était possible d'attribuer des étiquettes que via Modifier la liste de suivi. Dans ces trois emplacements, il s'agit d'un nouveau champ situé après le champ d'expiration.
Voir les 23 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, le problème où les pages de discussion sur mobile avec Parsoid sont inutilisables après les en-têtes de section vides, a maintenant été résolu.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

La fonctionnalité de sous-référencement, qui permet aux contributeurs d'ajouter des détails à une référence existante sans la dupliquer, sera progressivement déployée sur davantage de wikis plus tard cette année. Les wikis utilisant le gadget Reference Tooltips sont encouragés à mettre à jour leur version (généralement sur MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js comme indiqué ici) pour assurer la compatibilité. D'autres gadgets liés aux références pourraient également être affectés.
Toutes les éditions de Wikinews seront fermées et passeront en mode lecture seule le 4 mai 2026. Le contenu restera accessible, mais aucune nouvelle modification ni aucun nouvel article ne pourra être ajouté. Cette fermeture a été approuvée par le Conseil d'administration de la Fondation Wikimedia à la suite de discussions prolongées. En savoir plus.
L'API d'action a proposé plusieurs formats pour les résultats demandés. L'un d'entre eux, format=php, sera bientôt supprimé. Veuillez vous assurer que vos scripts ou robots utilisent le format JSON. Cette suppression devrait affecter très peu de scripts et de robots.
La page Special:NamespaceInfo inclut désormais les alias d'espace de noms. Par exemple «WP» pour l'espace de noms Projet (Wikipédia) sur la Wikipédia en allemand.

Tech News: 2026-16

Dernier commentaire : il y a 5 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

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

Weekly highlight

Experienced editors are invited to test the Article guidance feature, designed to help less-experienced editors create well-structured, policy-compliant Wikipedia articles. Testing instructions are available. Also, after reviewing the outlines, please provide feedback on the project talk page. Based on your input, the feature will be refined and transferred to the pilot Wikipedias to translate and adapt. Check out the video explaining the feature.

Updates for editors

On most wikis, all autoconfirmed users can now use Special:ChangeContentModel page to create new pages with custom content models, such as mass message lists, making custom page formats more accessible. Check Special:ListGroupRights for the status of your wiki.
The Growth team has launched an account creation experiment to evaluate whether adding an account creation button to the mobile web header increases new account registrations and encourages more mobile users to contribute to the wikis. The experiment is currently live on Hindi, Indonesian, Bengali, Thai, and Hebrew Wikipedia, and targets 10% of logged-out mobile web users.
View all 30 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where VisualEditor could get stuck loading on Windows devices with animations turned off, has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

Starting later this week, Modificateurs de filtre anti-erreur who have the ⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽ beta feature enabled will have CodeMirror instead of CodeEditor as the editor at Special:AbuseFilter. This is part of the broader effort to make the user experience more consistent across all editors.
Tools and bots that access the Notifications API (action=query&meta=notifications) will need to update their OAuth or BotPassword grants to also include access to private notifications.
Due to a library upgrade, listings on category pages may be displayed out of order starting on Monday, 20th April. A migration script will be run to correct this, and will take hours to days depending on the size of the wiki (up to a week for English Wikipedia).
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Actualités techniques n° 2026-17

Dernier commentaire : il y a 4 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

En lumière cette semaine

Après deux ans de développement, la version ⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽, également connue sous le nom de CodeMirror 6, sortira de sa phase bêta le mardi 21 avril. Elle offrira une meilleure lisibilité du code et du wikitext, une réduction des fautes de frappe et d'autres avantages à tous les utilisateurs du surligneur de syntaxe standard. Un grand merci au bénévole Bhsd qui a développé de nombreuses nouvelles fonctionnalités, notamment le repliement de code, la saisie semi-automatique et l'analyse statique du code.
Une mise à jour majeure de l'application Wikipédia pour iOS est en cours de déploiement, en restructurant l'interface pour s'harmoniser avec le tout nouveau design visuel "Liquid Glass" d'Apple. Télécharger la dernière version et découvrez les nouveautés.

Actualités pour la contribution

Les listes de lecture est une fonctionnalité qui permet aux lecteurs d'enregistrer des articles dans une liste pour les lire ultérieurement. Cette fonctionnalité est actuellement en version bêta sur les Wikipédias en arabe, français, indonésien, vietnamien et chinois, et activée par défaut pour tous les nouveaux comptes sur toutes les Wikipédias.
Une expérimentation visant à étendre les aperçus de page au web mobile sera lancée la semaine du 20 avril sur les versions arabe, anglaise, française, italienne, polonaise et vietnamienne de Wikipédia. Les aperçus de page sont des fenêtres contextuelles affichant une miniature, un premier paragraphe et un lien bleu permettant d'ouvrir l'article complet, facilitant ainsi la découverte de contenu. Cette fonctionnalité est déjà disponible sur ordinateur et dans les applications. En savoir plus sur cette expérimentation et d'autres.
Sur plusieurs wikis, les contributeurs connectés qui n'ont pas confirmé leur adresse électronique peuvent désormais voir une bannière les invitant à le faire. La confirmation de l'adresse électronique permet à un utilisateur de récupérer l'accès à son compte en cas de perte. En savoir plus.
Voir les 15 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème qui entraînait des ralentissements lors de la modification de très grandes pages wiki dans l'éditeur wikitext de 2017, des problèmes de chargement, de prévisualisation et de défilement, ainsi que des problèmes de performance lors de la sélection, de la découpe ou du collage de contenu, a maintenant été résolu.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Dans le cadre de la promotion de CodeMirror à partir d'une fonctionnalité bêta, tous les utilisateurs se serviront de CodeMirror au lieu de CodeEditor pour la coloration syntaxique lors de l'édition de pages de contenu JavaScript, CSS, JSON, Vue et Lua.
Le service mirrors.wikimedia.org pour les utilisateurs de Debian et Ubuntu sera définitivement arrêté le 15 mai. Le matériel du serveur sera remplacé par des solutions plus performantes. Certains utilisateurs devront peut-être migrer vers un autre serveur qui ne devra prendre qu'une minute. Vous pouvez en savoir plus.
Les tables image et oldimage seront supprimées de wikireplicas. Si vos outils ou requêtes accèdent directement à image ou oldimage, veuillez les mettre à jour pour utiliser les tables file et filerevision avant le 28 mai.
Suite à la récente mise en place de limites de débit globales pour les API non identifiées, la Fondation Wikimedia poursuit ses efforts pour garantir une utilisation équitable de l'infrastructure en appliquant des limites globales au trafic des API identifiées à partir de la dernière semaine d'avril. Ces limites sont volontairement fixées au niveau le plus élevé possible afin de minimiser l'impact sur la communauté. Les bots exécutés dans Toolforge/WMCS ou disposant des droits d'utilisateur de bot sur un wiki ne devraient pas être affectés pour le moment. Toutefois, il est conseillé à tous les développeurs de suivre les bonnes pratiques mises à jour. Pour plus d'informations, consultez la page API Wikimedia/Limites de débit et la Foire aux questions.
L'API d'attribution est désormais disponible en version bêta. Elle récupère les informations nécessaires pour créditer les articles et les fichiers multimédias de Wikimedia, quel que soit leur lieu d'utilisation. La documentation de référence est disponible sur la page dédiée au Sandbox REST, accessible sur tous les wikis Wikimedia (comme le sandbox REST de Wikipédia en anglais). N'hésitez pas à partager vos commentaires sur la page de discussion du projet.
Il n'y aura pas de nouvelle version de MediaWiki cette semaine.

Actualités techniques n° 2026-18

Dernier commentaire : il y a 4 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

Actualités pour la contribution

Un changement dans la manière dont les utilisateurs et utilisatrices sont automatiquement confirmés est en cours pour améliorer la protection contre le vandalisme. Actuellement, il suffit d’avoir un compte depuis quelques jours avec quelques contributions pour être ajouté au groupe Utilisateurs autoconfirmés. Cette configuration tend à être exploitée par certains vandales qui créent des comptes et commencent à les utiliser après un certain temps. Pour réduire ce problème, la configuration va changer la semaine prochaine afin que l’âge du compte minimum pour être confirmé automatiquement ne soit calculé qu’à partir de la première modification, au lieu de la date d’inscription. L’âge minimum du compte restera le même, c’est seulement le point de départ pour calculer cet âge qui change. Ce changement ne sera déployé que sur les wikis qui nécessitent au moins une contribution pour satisfaire les conditions de confirmation automatique.
Tous les utilisateurs et utilisatrices de Wikipédia avec un nouveau compte et ceux qui ont activé l’option « activer automatiquement la plupart des fonctionnalités bêta » peuvent désormais utiliser la fonctionnalité bêta de listes de lecture pour enregistrer des articles à lire plus tard. Cela permet d’organiser les lectures qui nous intéressent à un endroit unique pour y accéder facilement.
Voir les 30 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, le problème avec les images d’infoboite qui avaient une marge intérieure immense dans Firefox a été corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Pour rappel, la limite globale d’accès à l’API sera appliquée cette semaine pour identifier le trafic de l’API. Le but est d’aider à garantir un accès équitable à l’infrastructure. Les robots qui s’exécutent dans Toolforge ou WMCS, ou avec le droit utilisateur robot sur les wikis, ne devraient pas être affectés pour le moment. Cependant, il est conseillé à tous les développeurs et développeuses de se conformer aux nouvelles bonnes pratiques à suivre. Pour plus d’informations, notamment la limite globale d’accès effective, consultez la page sur la limite d’accès des API de Wikimedia et les questions-réponses.

Actualités techniques n° 2026-19

Dernier commentaire : il y a 4 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

En lumière cette semaine

L’équipe chargée des fonctionnalités de Guidage des articles invite les contributeurs et contributrices expérimentés des Wikipédia pilotes (arabe, bangla, japonais, portugais, persan, turc, anglais simplifié, espagnol et français) à contribuer à la traduction et à l’adaptation des exemples de trames d’articles. Ces trames guideront les contributeurs dans la création d’articles clairs, bien structurés et conformes aux règles lors de l’utilisation de la fonctionnalité dès son lancement en mai 2026. Des instructions simples expliquant comment traduire et adapter ces trames sont disponibles.

Actualités pour la contribution

Le Conseil consultatif sur les produits et les technologies a publié une proposition de recommandation d’une procédure type que les organisations affiliées à Wikimedia pourraient suivre pour contribuer au domaine technique. Les membres de la communauté sont invités à donner leur avis sur cette recommandation avant le 8 mai sur la page de discussion.
Le nombre de préférences de taille de la miniature disponibles dans MediaWiki va être réduit à trois options standardisées : petite (180 px), moyenne (250 px) et large (400 px), dans le cadre du travail en cours pour améliorer les performances et réduire la pression sur les services de miniatures. Par conséquent, les préférences existantes seront automatiquement adaptées à la nouvelle taille la plus proche (par exemple, les petites tailles comme 120 px ou 150 px s’afficheront à 180 px, tandis que les grandes tailles comme 300 px ou 360 px s’afficheront à 400 px). L’interface des préférences sera bientôt mise à jour pour refléter ces changements, et les utilisateurs qui souhaitent s’y opposer ou donner leur avis peuvent le faire.
Dorénavant, même lorsqu’une permission expire automatiquement, les utilisateurs recevront une notification Echo similaire à la notification normale pour les changements de permissions. Quant au robot global de rappel, il continue de prévenir les utilisateurs une semaine avant que leurs droits ne soient sur le point d’expirer, afin qu’ils puissent les faire renouveler.
Voir les 32 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, le problème du sélecteur de langue ULS dans Special:Translate qui faisait défiler verticalement alors qu’il ne devait pas, a été résolu. Auparavant, lorsque les utilisateurs ouvraient le menu déroulant « Traduire en français » et commençaient à saisir le nom d’une langue, la boîte de dialogue défilait verticalement de quelques pixels même lorsqu'il y avait suffisamment d’espace pour afficher tous les résultats. Le menu déroulant ne se déplace plus inutilement lors du filtrage des langues.
La liste de suivi globale, qui vous permet de consulter vos listes de suivi provenant de plusieurs wikis sur une seule page, continue de s’améliorer. Par exemple, les listes de suivi pour les sites avec Wikibase tels que Wikidata prennent désormais en charge les éléments EntitySchema pour un meilleur suivi. Le mode Mises à jour en direct actualise désormais la page spéciale toutes les 60 secondes afin de se conformer aux nouvelles limites globales d’accès à l’API pour une meilleure réactivité en temps réel. Par ailleurs, un bug de directionnalité du texte qui affichait les liens comme « changements 3 » au lieu de « 3 changements » dans les listes à directions mixtes a été corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

La deuxième phase de limitations globales d’accès à l’API a été déployée pour réduire l’impact des robots IA et assurer un accès équitable et durable aux ressources de Wikimedia, en donnant la priorité au trafic humain et conforme à notre mission. Les limites ne s’appliquent plus par heure mais par minute, produisant une meilleure répartition dans les structures de trafic ainsi qu’une meilleure prévisibilité de la charge de l’API. Les utilisateurs de la communauté ne devraient pas être affectés, et aucune action n’est requise. Les premières indications montrent que certains requérants basés sur l'agent utilisateur ajustent leur comportement, et environ 64 % du trafic API automatisé a été identifié. La surveillance continue, et Wikimedia Enterprise reste disponible pour l’assistance commerciale.

Dernier commentaire : il y a 4 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

En lumière cette semaine

La Communauté Technique a publié de nouvelles directives expliquant comment les souhaits sur la Liste de souhaits de la communauté sont triés et priorisés. La documentation vise à aider les contributeurs à rédiger des propositions plus solides en clarifiant les facteurs qui influencent les décisions de priorisation. Au-delà du nombre de votes, les directives mettent en avant des considérations telles que l'impact potentiel sur la communauté pour déterminer quels souhaits avanceront.

Actualités pour la contribution

L'équipe de croissance des lecteurs lance une expérience pour tester une nouvelle fonctionnalité de Partage de Carte qui permet aux lecteurs de créer des cartes visuellement attrayantes à partir d'articles Wikipédia ou de sections d'articles sélectionnées et de les partager en ligne, chaque carte renvoyant à l'article original afin d'aider à augmenter le lectorat et la découverte des articles. Le test A/B réservé aux mobiles ne sera disponible qu'à une partie des lecteurs sur les Wikipédia en arabe, chinois, français, vietnamien et anglais afin de mieux comprendre les habitudes de lecture et de partage, et est prévu pour commencer la semaine du 18 mai pour une durée de quatre semaines.
Les applications Wikipedia pour Android et iOS ont récemment publié en version bêta le défi de lecture de 25 jours, dans le cadre des efforts visant à stimuler l'engagement des lecteurs en encourageant les utilisateurs à atteindre des objectifs de lecture. Pour suivre leur série de lectures pendant le défi, les utilisateurs de l'application peuvent ajouter un widget avec Baby Globe à leur écran d'accueil. Le défi commence officiellement le 11 mai.
Voir les 17 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème où la préférence globale pour activer la coloration syntaxique dans le wikitexte pouvait s'éteindre de manière inattendue après avoir été activée a maintenant été corrigé.

Development

Tighter connection of the Wikibase Ecosystem: We've been working on making it possible to use Wikidata Items (and later from other Wikibase instances) as values in statements on other Wikibase instances. You can now try it out on a demo system or set up your own test instance to give it a try. More details in the announcement.
Wikidata integration in the Wikimedia projects: We are continuing the work on showing less irrelevant changes on recent changes and watchlist on Wikipedia and co by trying to determine if an edit from Wikidata actually changed the rendered article or not
Mobile statement editing:
- We worked on reducing the load for users with limited data
- We are continuing to fix issues uncovered in testing
Making Wikiprojects more visible: We are getting ready for testing of the prototype. We'll be adding links to the respective Wikirojects on Item pages in the tools menu to make it easier for people to find the corresponding Wikiprojects. This is based on statements already on the Item such as specific external IDs.

Actualités techniques n° 2026-21

Dernier commentaire : il y a 3 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

En lumière cette semaine

L'équipe de Wikipédia abstraite a identifié cinq wikis pilotes potentiels pour évaluer leur intérêt à adopter des articles abstraits sur leurs wikis. Les pilotes sont Wikipédia en Malayalam, en Bengali, en Dagbani, en Arabe et en Indonésien. La période de retour d'information sera ouverte jusqu'au 22 mai. Si votre communauté est intéressée à devenir un pilote, faites-nous savoir sur Meta.

Actualités pour la contribution

Une expérience visant à afficher les listes de lecture aux lecteurs non connectés sur le web mobile sera lancée le 18 mai sur les Wikipédias Allemande, Espagnole, Italienne, Portugaise, Polonaise, Néerlandaise, Turque et Ourdou, et durera un mois. Cet effort soutient des objectifs plus larges consistant à aider les lecteurs à enregistrer et organiser des articles pour une lecture ultérieure, tout en encourageant des habitudes qui pourraient mener à de futures contributions sur Wikipédia.
Pour prendre en charge un bouton de marquage dans la fonctionnalité bêta Liste de lecture, le menu "Outils > Action" a été mis à jour pour afficher des icônes, y compris l'indicateur en forme d'étoile de suivi qui aide les éditeurs à identifier les articles suivis temporairement. Les icônes correspondent désormais également à celles utilisées sur mobile, améliorant la cohérence entre les plateformes. Le changement est actuellement limité au menu des actions et concerne principalement les éditeurs ayant des droits d'utilisateur privilégié.
Mode de Suggestion a été publié en tant qu'test A/B pour les nouveaux éditeurs sur le site mobile à ~15 Wikipédias. L'expérience mesurera l'impact que le Mode de Suggestion a sur la proportion de sessions d'édition sur le web mobile par des nouveaux éditeurs qui aboutissent à des modifications constructives (non annulées) des articles. L'expérience évaluera également l'impact de la fonctionnalité sur la rétention des éditeurs et surveillera les changements dans les taux d'annulation et de blocage.
Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème dans l'application Android de Wikipédia où les images pourraient parfois ne pas se charger après avoir ouvert une notification de liste de lecture recommandée, a maintenant été corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

L'équipe de la Plateforme Wikidata a publié sa recommandation de remplacement du backend et l'architecture technique qui l'accompagne pour la migration du Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) hors de Blazegraph grap. Les retours sont attendus jusqu'au 25 mai 2026, en particulier sur les éventuelles lacunes et impacts sur les cas d'utilisation avancés. Les membres de la communauté Wikidata et les utilisateurs de WDQS sont également encouragés à aider à identifier les outils et flux de travail à fort impact qui pourraient nécessiter une attention sur cette page. Les retours peuvent être partagés sur la page de discussion de la migration ou lors de la prochaine heure de bureau. Voir le bulletin de l'équipe WDP pour plus de détails.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

Sur les Wikipédia en anglais, en français, en japonais et quelques autres, il y a eu un essai de hCaptcha, un service tiers de détection de robots. L'essai a montré que hCaptcha détecte et dissuade efficacement certaines activités automatisées de mauvaise foi, à la fois par lui-même et en donnant des signaux aux checkusers et stewards pour qu'ils enquêtent. Comme les résultats étaient positifs, hCaptcha sera déployé sur toutes les wikis au cours des prochaines semaines. Voir la page du projet hCaptcha pour des informations techniques sur la mise en œuvre et les protections de la vie privée. En savoir plus.
La dernière mise à jour de la Technologie communautaire est désormais disponible, avec des progrès dans plusieurs initiatives de la Liste de souhaits communautaire, y compris l'extension des listes de lecture de l'application mobile au site web, la prise en charge de nouvelles langues pour "Who Wrote That" et le Tableau de bord personnel, des améliorations du rendu 3D et des graphiques, ainsi que des travaux à venir sur le tri des pages de discussion, la lecture audio et les flux de travail d'édition. La mise à jour partage également les priorités actuelles, les tendances de l'état de la Liste de souhaits et les opportunités de retour d'information de la communauté sur les domaines de concentration futurs et le Plan annuel 2026–2027 de la Wikimedia Foundation. Lisez le bulletin d'information complet pour plus de détails.

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

En lumière cette semaine

Faisant suite à une expérience fructueuse sur la création de comptes, un message d'avertissement pour les personnes déconnectées sera déployé sur les wikis Wikimédia durant la première semaine de juin. Ce changement n'affectera que les personnes déconnectées sur l'interface web mobile qui commencent à modifier. Cette nouvelle expérience est faite pour encourager la création de comptes, tout en autorisant aux utilisateurs de modifier à l'aide de comptes temporaires. Les résultats de l'expérience ont montré une augmentation de la création de compte d'environ 27 % pour ceux ayant vu le nouveau message. Comme prévu, puisque plus de personnes créent un compte, la création de comptes temporaires a diminué de 16 %. L'expérience n'a pas montré d'autres changements sur la qualité des modifications ou sur les autres indicateurs surveillés.

Actualités pour la contribution

Pour des raisons de sécurité, les membres de certains groupes d’utilisateurs sont forcés d'avoir l'authentification à 2 facteurs (A2F) d'activée. Les membres de ces groupes seront dans l'impossibilité de désactiver la dernière méthode d'A2F sur leur compte, et il sera impossible d'ajouter des utilisateurs sans A2F à ces groupes. Ces utilisateurs auront toujours la possibilité d'ajouter ou d'enlever des nouvelles méthodes d'authentification, tant qu'une de ces méthodes est toujours activée. Dans les prochaines semaines, les utilisateurs sans A2F seront retirés de ces groupes. Cela s'applique entre autres aux bureaucrates. Veuillez lire les tâches liées pour les dates de déploiement.
L'équipe des souhaits techniques de Wikimédia Allemagne (WMDE) va lancer un test A/B sur 10 wikis, pour essayer des améliorations potentielles pour les aperçus de références. Cette expérience durera environ 2 semaines à la fin mai ou début juin et affectera 10 % du lectorat sur ordinateur sur les wikis participants.
Après deux expériences fructueuses, l'équipe Croissance du lectorat déploiera une fonctionnalité de visionnage d'images en bêta pour toutes les Wikipédia sur mobile le 25 mai. Cela veut dire que toutes les personnes ayant les fonctionnalités bêtas activées verront cette fonctionnalité. Les autres pourront l’activer dans leurs préférences. Cette fonctionnalité inclura un carrousel de toutes les images d'un article en haut de celui-ci, avec la possibilité pour les contributeurs d’exclure des images du carrousel d'un article ou d'enlever la fonctionnalité pour l'entièreté de l'article.
Voir les 30 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, les fichiers STL tridimensionnels étaient affichés incorrectement par l'extension 3D du lecteur multimédia, ce qui est maintenant corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les classes CSS dépréciées tleft et tright ont été remplacées par floatleft et floatright car les premières ne fonctionnent pas correctement sur toutes les plateformes, dont l'interface web mobile et l'application mobile. Les projets se servant de ces classes sont encouragés à vérifier leur usage et à planifier leur migration. Sachez que floatleft et floatright pourraient aussi être dépréciées dans le futur, même s’il n'y a pas de calendrier défini. En savoir plus.

Actualités techniques n° 2026-24

Dernier commentaire : il y a 3 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

En lumière cette semaine

Wikimedia Entreprise a relevé les limites d’utilisation gratuite de ses API. La limite mensuelle de requêtes pour l’API « à la demande » (On-demand) est passée de 5 000 à 50 000 requêtes, tandis que celle de l’API des instantanés (Snapshot) est passée de 15 à 30 requêtes par mois. De plus, les instantanés de contenus structurés sont désormais accessibles aux comptes gratuits. Ces changements élargissent l’accès aux données de Wikimedia Entreprise pour les développeurs et développeuses, les chercheurs et chercheuses et les organisations qui utilisent les contenus Wikimédia.

Actualités pour la contribution

La nouvelle version du Fil d’exploration, désormais appelé « Fil d’accueil », est en cours de déploiement auprès de 50 % des utilisateurs de l’application Wikipédia pour Android. Le fil d’accueil aide le lectorat à découvrir du contenu pertinent grâce à deux nouveaux onglets : « Communauté » et « Pour vous ». L’onglet « Communauté » propose un flux défilant de contenus sélectionnés et d’actualités provenant de l’ensemble de la communauté et du mouvement Wikimédia, tandis que l’onglet « Pour vous » offre une expérience en plein écran et par glissement qui présente des contenus adaptés aux centres d’intérêt de l’utilisateur ou utilisatrice. Cette refonte s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un travail en cours visant à améliorer la découverte et à enrichir l’expérience d’apprentissage au sein de l’application Wikipédia.
Le jeu-questionnaire quotidien Qu’est-ce qui est arrivé en premier ? est désormais disponible dans la version bêta de l’application Wikipédia pour iOS en anglais, allemand, français, portugais, russe, espagnol, arabe, chinois et turc. Le jeu s’appuie sur des événements historiques tirés de la rubrique « Éphéméride » de Wikipédia et met les lecteurs au défi de deviner lequel des deux événements s’est produit en premier. Le jeu avait déjà été lancé sur Android. Les communautés souhaitant rendre le jeu disponible dans leur langue peuvent consulter les instructions et les conditions requises.
Les sous-références, une nouvelle fonctionnalité de MediaWiki permettant aux contributeurs de réutiliser des références avec des détails différents, va commencer à être déployée sur les wikis Wikimédia après une phase pilote réussie. Le déploiement débutera le 8 juin pour la plupart des wikis du groupe 1 et Wikipédia en français, puis d'autres éditions linguistiques de Wikipédia bénéficieront de cette fonctionnalité au cours des prochains mois. Les communautés sont invitées à se préparer en vérifiant s’il existe des messages non traduits de l’extension Cite dans leur langue et en passant en revue toute utilisation de l’outil Infobulles des références, qui pourraient nécessiter des mises à jour pour prendre en charge la nouvelle fonctionnalité. Les wikis utilisant les aperçus de référence n’ont aucune action à entreprendre. Les communautés peuvent également créer la catégorie de suivi cite-tracking-category-ref-details en tant que catégorie cachée à l’aide de __HIDDENCAT__ (ou d’un modèle dédié), et la relier à l’élément Wikidata correspondant d:Q129764848.
L'expérience d'Aperçus de page sur le Web mobile a pris fin. L'équipe a décidé de ne pas déployer cette fonctionnalité après que les résultats ont montré qu'elle n'avait pas d'impact statistiquement significatif sur la fidélisation des lecteurs, l'amélioration de la fidélisation étant le principal indicateur de réussite. Les « Aperçus de page », déjà disponibles sur ordinateur et dans les applications, affichent une vignette, le premier paragraphe et un lien vers l'article complet lorsque les lecteurs cliquent sur un lien bleu. L'expérience a testé cette fonctionnalité sur le Web mobile sur six versions de Wikipédia.
La bibliothèque d'icônes de l'interface utilisateur sera mise à jour dans le courant de cette semaine ou la semaine prochaine. La plupart des quelque 300 icônes ont été légèrement peaufinées et une trentaine de nouvelles icônes ont été ajoutées. Ces modifications améliorent les icônes afin de les rendre plus cohérentes et plus compréhensibles, et d'offrir un meilleur équilibre visuel lorsqu'elles sont utilisées en groupe.
L'interface Sélecteur universel de langue (ULS) de MediaWiki, qui aide les utilisateurs à sélectionner du contenu dans d'autres langues, a été mise à jour. La nouvelle version améliore la rapidité et l'accessibilité, et les utilisateurs des projets Wikimédia peuvent désormais épingler des langues pour changer de langue plus rapidement. Le déploiement sur les sites Wikimédia se fera progressivement au cours des prochaines semaines. Vous pouvez la tester dès maintenant en tant que fonctionnalité bêta en sélectionnant les fonctionnalités bêta dans les préférences de votre profil et partager vos commentaires sur la page du projet.
Voir les 21 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème du le tableau de bord d'analyse des pages vues sur pageviews.wmcloud.org qui a arrêté de mettre à jour les données graphiques en mai 2026, affectant tous les utilisateurs, a été résolu.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

La signature de la fonction mw.util.addPortletLink() a été simplifiée. Les développeurs peuvent désormais passer un objet de configuration à la place d'une liste de paramètres positionnels lors de la création de liens vers des portlets. L'ancienne signature de la fonction reste prise en charge à des fins de compatibilité ascendante. Par exemple, au lieu de : mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', '#', 'Stub', 'ca-stubtag', 'Add a stub tag to this page');, utilisez mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', { href: '#', text: 'Stub', id: 'ca-stubtag', tooltip: 'Add a stub tag to this page' });. Les responsables de la maintenance des scripts sont invités à passer en revue les utilisations existantes de addPortletLink() et à les mettre à jour si nécessaire. Cette modification sera disponible sur tous les wikis à partir du 11 juin. Merci à Gerges, bénévole de la communauté, d'avoir apporté cette amélioration.
Discussion sur la liste de souhaits de la communauté: les changements introduits par les équipes Produit et Technologie visent à augmenter le nombre et la complexité des souhaits exaucés, notamment par la dissolution de l'équipe Community Tech. Ils mènent actuellement des discussions sur une orientation proposée pour la liste de souhaits émanant des membres de la communauté. Cela inclut des moyens de structurer le vote annuel, un meilleur suivi des souhaits, la suppression de certains domaines prioritaires et des mises à jour concernant le personnel.

Development

Ontology federation: The development team is looking for people to give feedback on the new feature that allows editors on other Wikibase instances to use Wikidata's Items as statement values. (more details)
GraphQL:
- We extended the searchItems field so that developers can now get all Item data immediately from the search results (phab:T416885)
- We are working on the ability to get only best ranked statements (phab:T428138)
MCP: The Wikidata MCP has been extended. You can now also use an MCP for other Wikibase instances. (more details)
Wikibase Cloud: We are looking into making it possible to log into Wikibase Cloud instances with your Wikidata account to make it easier for Wikimedians to contribute on Cloud instances.
Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
- We are planning the migration of the entity usage table to a new database cluster to handle increased usage of Wikidata's data across the Wikimedia projects.
- We are continuing our work to decrease the number of irrelevant changes coming from Wikidata that show up in Wikipedia's recent changes and watchlist. Specifically we are evaluating a prototype that looks at the rendered article before and after the change and determines if anything actually changed in the article before adding an entry to recent changes and watchlist.
Mobile editing of statements:
- We are improving support for RTL languages.(phab:T360854, phab:T427655, phab:T427658, phab:T427661, phab:T428246)

Actualités techniques n° 2026-25

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

En lumière cette semaine

L'équipe chargée de la croissance du lectorat a lancé une fonctionnalité bêta d'exploration des images sur la version mobile de toutes les Wikipédias. Cette fonctionnalité affiche un carrousel d'images en haut des articles contenant au moins trois images. Les contributeurs peuvent configurer cette fonctionnalité à l'aide des commandes suivantes : pour masquer une image spécifique sur une page, utilisez soit class=notpageimage pour l'exclure des aperçus miniatures, soit class=noviewer pour l'exclure de MediaViewer. Le carrousel peut également être désactivé complètement sur une page à l'aide du mot magique __NOMEDIAVIEWERCAROUSEL__. Pour faire des retours ou signaler des bugs, rendez-vous sur la page de discussion du projet.
Les Wikitables peuvent désormais être triées par ordre décroissant dès le premier clic en ajoutant data-sort-order="desc" à la cellule d'en-tête. Auparavant, par défaut, cliquer une première fois sur l'en-tête d'une colonne entraînait un tri par ordre croissant. Cette nouveauté offre davantage de contrôle et de flexibilité pour les Wikitables, tandis que le comportement par défaut pour les clics suivants reste inchangé.

Actualités pour la contribution

La fonctionnalité d'Aide à la rédaction d'articles est actuellement en phase de test auprès de certains contributeurs qui créent de nouveaux articles sur les Wikipédias en anglais simplifié, en français et en turc. L'expérience débutera bientôt sur les Wikipédias en arabe et en bengali également. Cette fonctionnalité fournit aux contributeurs des conseils élaborés par la communauté afin de les aider à créer des articles conformes aux normes communautaires. Les contributeurs expérimentés peuvent continuer à créer ou à adapter des modèles pour des types d'articles spécifiques qui sont couramment créés par des contributeurs moins expérimentés. Ces modèles guident les contributeurs moins expérimentés dans la création d'articles de haute qualité. Un guide rapide des balises utilisées dans les modèles est disponible sur cette page. Des exemples de modèles pouvant être adaptés, ainsi que des instructions sur la manière de les adapter, se trouvent dans cette section de la page du projet.
Les wikis qui souhaitent remplacer le bouton « indéfiniment » dans la page Special:Block pour les comptes temporaires (par exemple, les wikis qui bloquent les utilisateurs temporaires uniquement jusqu'à l'expiration de leur compte) pourront le faire en créant MediaWiki:ipb-indefinite-expiry-temporary-account avec la durée de blocage souhaitée.
Voir les 41 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

D'ici la fin du mois de juin, une chaîne « user-agent » valide sera requise pour les téléchargements automatisés de sauvegardes depuis le site dumps.wikimedia.org. Les requêtes automatisées fournissant une chaîne « user-agent » générique ou vide seront bloquées. Cette mesure renforce l'application de la politique relative à l'agent utilisateur en vigueur depuis longtemps. L'accès aux sauvegardes via Wikimedia Cloud Services restera inchangé.
La mise en place des limites de débit des API à l'échelle mondiale est désormais achevée ; ces limites s'appliquent à toutes les API et sont fixées aux niveaux indiqués dans la documentation pour tous les groupes. Les bots fonctionnant sur Toolforge/WMCS ou disposant du droit d'utilisateur « bot » sur n'importe quel wiki restent exemptés. Tous les bots doivent continuer à respecter les bonnes pratiques décrites dans la documentation afin d'éviter d'être soumis à des limites de débit.
Le wiki du portail API sera en lecture seule à partir de cette semaine (du 15 au 18 juin). La semaine suivante (du 22 au 25 juin), toutes les URL du wiki du portail API redirigeront vers les API Wikimedia sur mediawiki.org. Pour en savoir plus, consultez la page du projet.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Rencontres et évènements

Le 17 juin à 18 h (UTC), la WMF organisera une réunion sur Discord consacrée à la revue de code. L'enquête sur la satisfaction des développeurs nous a permis de constater que les bénévoles rencontrent des difficultés avec la revue de code, et nous souhaitons discuter de ces expériences afin de trouver des solutions concrètes. Vous pouvez rejoindre la réunion via le serveur Discord de la communauté Wikimedia.
La Conférence Wikimedia d'Amérique latine organisera un hackathon régional qui réunira la communauté technique du mouvement Wikimedia, notamment des développeurs, des administrateurs système, des data scientists et des utilisateurs disposant de droits étendus. Les contributeurs techniques intéressés peuvent postuler à une bourse pour y participer jusqu'au 21 juin à minuit (heure de la Bolivie, UTC-4).
Inscrivez-vous aux Wikimania Team Challenges pour participer à cet événement exceptionnel. Les défis par équipe se dérouleront en ligne et en présentiel les 21 et 22 juillet, avant la conférence Wikimania. Tout le monde est le bienvenu, quelles que soient ses compétences ou son inscription à Wikimania. Les équipes travailleront sur 10 défis importants visant à soutenir la communauté Wikimedia. Pour plus de détails, rendez-vous sur la page des défis par équipe et inscrivez-vous ici. Les inscriptions se terminent le 20 juin à 23 h UTC.

Actualités techniques n° 2026-26

Dernier commentaire : il y a 2 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

En lumière cette semaine

Les fonctionnalités de croissance sont désormais disponibles sur Wikidata. Cette mise à jour permet d'accéder au mentorat (s'il est configuré), au module Impact, au panneau d'aide et à une page d'accueil simplifiée pour les nouveaux arrivants (sans les suggestions de modifications). Les administrateurs de Wikidata continuent de paramétrer ces fonctionnalités via la configuration communautaire.

Actualités pour la contribution

La page spéciale Spécial:RangeCalculator a été créée. Elle permet aux utilisateurs de trouver une plage d'adresses IP sans avoir à recourir à des outils externes. Jusqu'à présent, cet outil n'était accessible qu'aux CheckUsers.
Les sous-références sont une nouvelle fonctionnalité de MediaWiki qui permet aux contributeurs de réutiliser des références en modifiant certains détails. Elle sera déployée le 23 juin, sur la plupart des versions de Wikipédia de petite et moyenne taille. La FAQ répertorie les mesures à prendre sur votre wiki pour faciliter ce déploiement. Consultez le plan de déploiement pour connaître les prochaines étapes.
À partir de la semaine prochaine, les utilisateurs recevront une notification lorsqu'ils seront bloqués ou débloqués pour l'édition, ou si ce blocage venait à changer.
Voir les 32 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

À partir de la semaine prochaine, les filtres anti-abus configurés pour « exiger une vérification par CAPTCHA » s'appliqueront également aux utilisateurs disposant du droit skipcaptcha, ce qui inclut la plupart des utilisateurs auto-confirmés. Les bots en sont exemptés. Ce changement ne concerne que les modifications qui déclenchent un filtre anti-abus. Le droit skipcaptcha continuera à exempter les utilisateurs de l'obligation de résoudre des CAPTCHA dans le cadre d'une utilisation normale des wikis.
La documentation de référence relative à l'API Lift Wing a été déplacée du portail API vers le bac à sable REST interactif.
Le wiki du Portail API est désormais fermé. Pour consulter la documentation relative aux API, rendez-vous sur Wikimedia APIs sur mediawiki.org. À compter du 22 juin, toutes les URL du wiki du Portail API (https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/) redirigeront vers la page de mediawiki.org.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Rencontres et évènements

Participez à une visioconférence le 25 juin à 14 h 30 UTC pour rencontrer les stagiaires actuels de Wikimédia participant au Google Summer of Code et à Outreachy. Les stagiaires présenteront leurs projets et feront une brève démonstration du travail qu'ils ont réalisé jusqu'à présent. Les participants sont invités à partager leurs idées et leurs contacts au sein de leur communauté.

Actualités pour la contribution

Dans le cadre des expériences sur la création de comptes, l'équipe Growth a testé l'ajout d'une icône de compte utilisateur dans l'en-tête du site mobile pour les utilisateurs non connectés, offrant ainsi un accès direct aux actions « Créer un compte » et « Se connecter ». Cette expérience a permis d'augmenter le nombre de créations de comptes d'environ 20 % sans nuire à la qualité des modifications ni au taux de modifications constructives. Cette fonctionnalité sera désormais déployée sur tous les wikis de la Fondation Wikimédia sur le site mobile au cours de la première semaine de juillet.
À la suite d'une expérience concluante, les utilisateurs connectés qui n'ont pas confirmé leur adresse e-mail lors de la création de leur compte voient s'afficher une nouvelle bannière leur demandant de finaliser cette procédure. Cela permet de réduire le risque que les utilisateurs se retrouvent bloqués hors de leur compte et rend les adresses e-mail associées aux comptes globalement plus fiables. Cette mesure s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet Sécurité des comptes.
Une mise à jour de Recherche affine le comportement de -prefix: lorsqu'il est utilisé pour exclure des résultats. Auparavant, l'utilisation de -prefix: avec la négation pouvait élargir involontairement les résultats de recherche en ajoutant les espaces de noms inclus dans le champ de recherche, ce qui entraînait un comportement déroutant pour les utilisateurs s'attendant à un filtre d'exclusion simple. Avec cette mise à jour, -prefix: exclura désormais strictement les titres de pages correspondants comme prévu et pourra afficher un avertissement si l'espace de noms concerné n'a pas été explicitement sélectionné. Le comportement de prefix: sans négation reste toutefois inchangé.
Voir les 33 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, le problème qui empêchait les réviseurs utilisant la barre d'outils « Page Curation » d'être automatiquement abonnés aux discussions qu'ils avaient lancées sur les pages de discussion a désormais été résolu. Les réviseurs recevront désormais des notifications lorsqu'une personne répondra à ces discussions.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

À compter du 29 juin, les téléchargements automatisés depuis le site web « dumps.wikimedia.org » seront soumis à la politique relative aux user-agents. Les requêtes automatisées utilisant un user-agent générique ou vide seront bloquées. L'accès aux sauvegardes via Wikimedia Cloud Services n'est pas affecté. Cette mesure fait suite à l'annonce publiée dans le numéro 2026/25 de Tech News.

Development

Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
- We are continuing to evaluate the prototype for reducing the number of unnecessary edits from Wikidata that show up in watchlist and recent changes of Wikipedia and co. The approach is to look at the diff of the rendered article before and after the change from Wikidata is made. If there is no difference then the change is probably not relevant for that article. We are collecting a sample to further understand how it performs.
- To continue to address Wikidata's scaling issues, we are planning the migration of entity usage tables to the X1 cluster.
Mobile editing of statements:
- We implemented more feedback from testing of the new mobile front-end. Specifically we worked on making it clearer when a statements already exist that the editor is trying to add to the Item.
- Additionally, we made minor improvements to the look and feel of the mobile front-end.
REST API:
- REST search routes now take apihighlimits right into account (phab:T428032)
- We are starting to work on Lexeme support (phab:T429572, phab:T429332)
GraphQL:
- We added support for requesting “best statements” for a given Property (phab:T428138)
- We are working on adding support for negation in Property value pair filters (phab:T429580)

Actualités pour la contribution

Voir les 34 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, les résultats de la barre de recherche sur Wikidata étaient en anglais au lieu d’utiliser la bonne langue de repli pour les utilisateurs de variantes de langues. Ce problème a maintenant été corrigé : les suggestions de recherche suivront désormais correctement la chaîne des langues de repli.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

En préparation de la campagne Célébrons les femmes prévues pour mars 2027, l’équipe Activation du contenu de Wikimedia Foundation a lancé un sondage composé de 22 questions pour mieux comprendre les contributions techniques des personnes s’identifiant comme femmes sur les projets Wikimedia. Répondre au sondage prend environ 15 à 20 minutes ; il restera ouvert jusqu’au 20 juillet 2026. Les questions sont aussi sur wiki pour les regarder auparavant.
L’extension Partitions prend désormais en charge le rendu de partition musicales comme images SVG, en plus du format PNG. Cela répond à une vieille demande et résout des problèmes anciens de qualité de l’image. Les deux formats sont désormais fournis aux clients web : PNG dans l’attribut src et SVG dans l’attribut srcset.
Le nouvel analyseur syntaxique Parsoid continue d’être déployé sur d’autres wikis, ce qui rend plus facile l’introduction de nouvelles fonctionnalités de lecture et de modification. Il a été activé sur Wikipédia en français, amenant la couverture totale à 78,9 % des pages vues de Wikipédia. Le déploiement sur Wikipédia en anglais sur ordinateur va progresser cette semaine.

Actualités pour la contribution

Revise Tone aide les nouveaux contributeurs à identifier les passages des articles de Wikipédia susceptibles de contenir un langage non encyclopédique et les encourage à envisager d'en réviser le ton. Cette fonctionnalité a fait l'objet d'un test A/B sur les Wikipédias en arabe, en anglais, en français et en portugais, où le taux d'achèvement des tâches par les nouveaux contributeurs a augmenté de 38,7 % par rapport à la tâche de relecture par défaut, sans que la qualité des modifications n'en soit affectée. Le test s'est achevé le 9 juillet et la fonctionnalité est désormais accessible à tous sur ces wikis ; elle est configurable via la configuration communautaire. Il est prévu de déployer « Revise Tone » sur d’autres wikis.
La configuration communautaire permettant la suppression automatique des mentors inactifs selon des critères configurables sera activée le jeudi 16, sur certains wikis, afin de maintenir à jour les listes de mentors. Les mentors sont des contributeurs expérimentés qui choisissent d'aider les nouveaux utilisateurs sur le wiki grâce aux fonctionnalités de croissance. Les administrateurs peuvent désormais préparer les paramètres via Special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship ; ces fonctionnalités prendront effet à partir de jeudi.
Voir les 38 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème où certains utilisateurs de l'application Android Wikipedia ont été déconnectés immédiatement après leur connexion, les empêchant de rester connectés et de modifier les pages, a maintenant été résolu.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

La modification d'une page à l'aide de scripts utilisateur ou de gadgets entraînait la réinitialisation des étiquettes de liste de suivi que l'utilisateur avait attribuées à cette page. Ce problème a désormais été résolu.
Pour contourner un bug de Safari (voir phab:T425211), sur les wikis utilisant Parsoid, wikilink hrefs utilise désormais des URL absolues au lieu d'URL relatives au protocole. La sortie de l'API REST reste inchangée et continue d'utiliser des URL relatives au protocole. Les gadgets, les scripts utilisateur, les bots et les feuilles de style CSS devront probablement être adaptés s'ils s'appuyaient sur la présence d'URL relatives au protocole dans wikilink hrefs.

En détails

L'équipe chargée de la plateforme d'expérimentation de la Fondation Wikimedia a publié un article de blog faisant le bilan de sa première année d'expérimentation structurée. Cet article met en avant des expériences couronnées de succès, telles que « Paste Check », « Reference Check » et « Tone Check », qui ont permis d'améliorer les résultats des modifications et ont été étendues à un plus grand nombre d'utilisateurs, ainsi que des expériences qui n'ont pas abouti à des changements au niveau du produit.

Actualités techniques n° 2026-30

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

Actualités pour la contribution

L'équipe chargée de l'expérience utilisateur a pris en compte les commentaires de la communauté concernant l'emplacement des boutons « Watchstar » et « Watchlist » pour la fonctionnalité bêta « Listes de lecture », qui permettrait d'enregistrer des articles pour les lire plus tard – un élément de la liste de souhaits visant à intégrer cette fonctionnalité sur le site web. Les contributeurs sont invités à activer cette fonctionnalité bêta pour la tester et partager leurs impressions.
Le mode Suggestions propose des suggestions d'édition au sein de l'éditeur visuel afin d'améliorer les articles de Wikipédia. Toutes les suggestions sont configurables par la communauté. La fonctionnalité TextMatch permet aux bénévoles de créer des suggestions locales personnalisées. Cette fonctionnalité recherche des chaînes de texte dans les articles et prend désormais en charge les expressions régulières. Cela offre aux bénévoles davantage de précision et de flexibilité quant aux types de suggestions locales qu’ils peuvent créer. Remarque : les suggestions peuvent être ciblées en fonction du nombre de modifications effectuées par la personne qui édite, ainsi que d’autres aspects de la page. Vous pouvez trouver des exemples provenant d’autres communautés pour vous inspirer, notamment des TextMatches qui détectent : les fautes de frappe, les erreurs grammaticales, les publicités potentielles, les clichés, l’utilisation incorrecte des tirets ou des traits d’union, les mots-clés temporels non spécifiques, les noms obsolètes, et bien plus encore. Tout retour est le bienvenu.
Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème lié à l'outil SVG Translate, qui pouvait utiliser une version obsolète d'un fichier, entraînant ainsi le remplacement des traductions existantes lors du téléchargement de nouvelles traductions, a désormais été résolu. Au total, au cours du dernier trimestre, d'avril à juin 2026, environ 337 tâches communautaires ont été résolues par la Fondation Wikimedia.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Sur les wikis utilisant Parsoid, ce dernier affiche désormais un maximum de 1 250 images par page. Une nouvelle catégorie de suivi, « media-limit-reached », sera bientôt disponible pour identifier les pages où cette limite est atteinte, ce qui facilitera la recherche des contenus dont l'affichage des médias a pu être restreint lors du rendu. Consultez phab:T430854 pour plus d'informations et pour nous faire part de vos commentaires.

Tech News: 2026-31

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

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

Updates for editors

Content Translation now supports dark mode, fulfilling a Community Wishlist request. This brings the tool in line with the accessibility features available in the Vector 2022 and Minerva skins, helping reduce visual fatigue for users translating content.
DiscussionTools' source mode and the 2017 wikitext editor will now offer autocomplete for links ([[), templates ({{), HTML and parser tags (<), and magic words (__), making it quicker and easier to insert links, templates, and other wiki markup while editing.
The Readers Growth team has concluded its experiment with mobile page previews and will not roll out the feature. Page Previews are a pop-up bottom sheet that appears when readers tap a blue link, showing a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and an option to open the article. The experiment showed flat retention and negative indicator metrics, suggesting that mobile web readers preferred navigating directly to linked articles rather than using page previews.
The Reader Experience team has seen encouraging early results from the Reading Lists feature, with 93% of participating users reporting that it was useful. Reading Lists help active readers save articles for future reading and support their learning goals on Wikimedia projects. The team plans further improvements before expanding the feature to more users.
The Explore Feed Refresh initiative was tested with new and casual Wikipedia app readers. The refreshed feed helps readers discover new and relevant content. After a 10.5% increase in engagement with the feed, Wikimedia Apps team has decided to scale the Home Feed redesign to iOS with the learnings from the Android release applied.
View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where subject names in the Article Guidance feature were displayed with incorrect capitalization on French Wikipedia, has now been fixed. Subject names will now follow the correct capitalization rules for the language.

Updates for technical contributors

After running several Account Creation Experiments to improve registration completion rates, a new version of the username field on Create Account has been rolled out. It includes a popover summarizing the username policy to provide clearer guidance during account creation. As part of this change, the messages createacct-helpusername and createacct-username-help that several communities have configured will no longer be used. If communities want to customize the guidance shown in the new popover, they can instead edit the following messages: createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet1, createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet2, and createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet3.
Later this week, the CodeMirror syntax highlighter will offer themes. The themes can be picked from a dropdown menu in the full CodeMirror preferences dialog. For wikitext, available themes are default, colorblind-friendly (previously the colorblind preference option on Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing) and no-highlighting. For code languages (i.e., CSS/JavaScript/JSON/Vue/Lua), there are several themes available. These same themes will eventually be available for wikitext, too.
From now on, wikis can restrict editing in the "User" namespace to only the page owner and certain user groups. Read the configuration documentation to learn more.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Actualités techniques n° 2026-32

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

Actualités pour la contribution

L’équipe Expérience de lecture a développé une démonstration d’un correctif qui entoure la barre d’outils sur deux lignes quand il n’y a pas assez d’espace horizontalement pour tous les boutons. Le but est de réduire l’encombrement de la barre d’outil de Vector 2022 qui se constate parfois sur Wikipédia dans certaines langues avec certaines tailles d’écran.
L’équipe Expérience de lecture prévoit de lancer les Listes de lecture, un souhait de la communauté que vous pouvez déjà essayer en bêta, à partir de septembre. Mais avant cela, l’aide des traducteurs et traductrices est nécessaire pour plusieurs messages à traduire dans un maximum de langues. Cette fonctionnalité appuie les objectifs de lecture et d’apprentissage sur Wikipédia.
La semaine prochaine, le sommaire sur les pages des fichiers de Wikimedia Commons sera amélioré en fusionnant le sommaire spécifique aux pages de fichier avec le sommaire classique des pages. Cela rendra plus facile la compréhension de la structure des pages de fichier, la navigation vers une section spécifique et le partage de liens vers une section en particulier.
Voir les 24 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, certaines images TIFF ne s’affichaient pas après avoir cliqué sur leur vignette : une image cassé s’affichait au lieu de l’image en taille réelle. Ce problème est désormais corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Le sélecteur de variables et de fonctions dans les Filtres anti-abus a été mis à jour pour prendre en charge la recherche et l’autocomplétion. Il permettra désormais aux mainteneurs de filtres de retrouver la variable ou fonction désirée plus rapidement.
Les formats MJPEG et VP8 sont retirés du lecteur vidéo. Le format MP4 (MPEG-4 Partie 2) est ajouté à la place : il fournit une meilleure qualité pour les vieux modèles d’iPhone. Plusieurs semaines seront peut-être nécessaires pour mettre à jour toutes les vidéos déjà en ligne. Le format par défaut pour les appareils modernes ne change pas (VP9/WebM).

Tool of the week

Cradle-gadget is a tool by User:DanielyepezgarcesThis is an interactive, schema-based form editor that works directly within Wikidata item pages. It allows users to check, view, add, modify, or delete claims in a modern sidebar drawer or a dedicated special page, aligned with the Wikimedia design guidelines. This is the easiest way to exploit the benefits of Wikidata entity schemas, powered by ShEx.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

The 2026 OpenRefine User Survey is now open. (Note that a link to a feature-prioritization survey is provided at the end of the Google Form so don't miss that if you want to influence what should get more focus.)

Actualités techniques n° 2026-33

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 mois1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

Actualités pour la contribution

Un nouvel assistant à diagrammes (ChartWizard) est désormais disponible sur Wikimedia Commons pour les utilisateurs et utilisatrices qui souhaitent créer des graphiques à partir de leurs propres données. Cet assistant rend l’extension Chart plus accessible aux débutants en permettant la création de diagrammes (par exemple des histogrammes ou des graphiques en secteurs) sans devoir utiliser du JSON. Les utilisateurs peuvent encore repasser à l’éditeur JSON s’ils le préfèrent. Vos retours sur ce nouvel outil sont les bienvenus sur la page de discussion du souhait.
Voir les 19 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, le gadget Photo du jour de l’appli Wikipédia pour iOS affichait par erreur la même image chaque jour au lieu d’en afficher une nouvelle quotidiennement. Cela a désormais été corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les images SVG de formules mathématiques seront bientôt générées par le navigateur plutôt que côté serveur. MathML continue d’être généré côté serveur et est rendu dans le navigateur sans JavaScript. Ce changement aura lieu sur Wikibooks le 12 aout, sur Wikisource le 19 aout et sur Wikipédia du 20 au 27 aout. Vous pouvez l’essayer en choisissant « MathML avec une image SVG (rendu MathJax côté client) » dans vos préférences. Cela fait partie de la dépréciation de RESTBase et de celle de Mathoid.
Les pages de catégorie permettront bientôt de trier les pages de la catégorie par ordre chronologique d’ajout dans la catégorie. Cela permettra de retrouver facilement les pages récemment ajoutées ou celles depuis longtemps dans la catégorie. Cela améliorera aussi le traitement des catégories de maintenance, par exemple les demandes de suppression ou d’autres tâches nécessitant un traitement chronologique. Utilisez l’argument cldsort=timestamp dans l’URL de la vue d’une catégorie pour trier la liste de pages.
Les gadgets et scripts utilisateur sur les wikis Wikimedia peuvent désormais utiliser les fonctionnalités de ES 2018 et celles de ES 2019 dans le code JavaScript. Auparavant, la plateforme n’acceptait qu’ES 2017. MediaWiki valide le code source pour protéger les fonctionnalités d’erreurs de syntaxes et pour vérifier que les scripts sont fonctionnels dans tous les navigateurs pris en charges.

Tech News: 2026-34

Dernier commentaire : il y a 29 jours1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

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

Weekly highlight

The Worklist feature for the Event Registration tool is now live on all Wikimedia wikis. With Worklist, event organizers can add the articles their event will focus on directly to the event page. The Worklist also powers Event Pathways which notifies other editors of the upcoming or ongoing event when they edit an article featured in the event's Worklist. This is the minimum viable version (MVP), and feedback is welcome. Organizers are encouraged to try the feature. A hands-on Worklist Setup Workshop will take place on 18 August at 16:00 UTC and 19 August at 11:00 UTC.

Updates for editors

Special:ShortPages displays short pages by their size, but in many cases it gets filled with disambiguations and soft redirects, making it harder to find the short articles themselves. Starting this weekend, you will be able to choose not to include an article in the special page by adding the magic word __EXPECTSHORTPAGE__.
One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Bole (w:bol:)
Starting the week of August 17, the page toolbar will wrap onto two lines when there is not enough horizontal space for all the buttons. This is a fully merged patch from the Reader Experience team which aims to reduce crowding in the Vector 2022 toolbar, that may occur on some language Wikipedias at certain screen widths.
View all 16 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, uploading large files to Wikimedia Commons has become more stable and less prone to failure following some fixes related to the “Could not acquire lock” upload error.

Updates for technical contributors

Debian Bullseye will reach the end of its Long Term Support on 31 August 2026. Some Cloud VPS projects still have instances running Debian Bullseye. Maintainers of those projects are encouraged to migrate to Debian Bookworm or Debian Trixie. A migration guide is available to help with the process, and users may also want to consider whether their workload is better suited to Toolforge. If you need help or cannot complete the migration by 31 August, please contact the Cloud VPS admins as soon as possible. Read more.

Actualités techniques n° 2026-35

Dernier commentaire : il y a 22 jours1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

Actualités pour la contribution

La page Spécial:Créer_un_compte a été simplifiée dans le cadre des travaux en cours visant à moderniser le processus de création de compte. Le panneau affichant les statistiques du projet n'apparaît plus à côté du formulaire, que ce soit sur ordinateur ou sur mobile. Plusieurs tests portant sur la création de comptes ont montré qu'un formulaire plus simple aidait les nouveaux utilisateurs à mener à bien leur inscription.
Afin d'améliorer les performances de la page, les images ne se chargent désormais que lorsqu'elles sont visualisées. Cela signifie que les images situées plus bas dans un article ne se chargeront pas si le lecteur ne fait jamais défiler la page jusqu'à cette partie, ce qui peut avoir une incidence sur certains indicateurs liés aux images.

Voir les 42 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème empêchant l'affichage des vignettes d'images sur Abstract Wikipedia après le déplacement du fichier correspondant sur Wikimedia Commons a désormais été résolu. Les vignettes s'actualisent désormais correctement lorsque les fichiers sont déplacés.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

La fiche d'informations sur l'utilisateur est une fonctionnalité qui permet aux modérateurs de consulter des informations sur les comptes d'utilisateurs. Jusqu'à présent, elle n'était disponible que dans des sections telles que l'historique des pages, les journaux et les modifications récentes. Désormais, il est également possible de l'insérer dans le contenu d'une page à l'aide de la fonction d'analyse {{#uic:}}. Cela peut s'avérer particulièrement utile dans des modèles tels que {{Userlinks}} (ou leurs variantes spécialisées), car cela facilitera la compréhension du contexte relatif à un ou une utilisatrice sur les divers forums communautaires. La fiche ne s'affichera que pour les utilisateurs qui l'ont activée dans leurs préférences.
En raison des risques liés à la sécurité et à la confidentialité des utilisateurs, nous avons désactivé l'accès aux URL utilisant Special:MyPage (Spécial:Ma_page) avec l’argument action=raw. Si vous êtes concerné par cette mesure, demandez-vous s'il est possible d'adopter une autre approche. Les URL utilisant Special:MyPage restent accessibles et utilisables sans action=raw. Les URL de pages utilisateur spécifiées (par exemple, User:Myusername) peuvent toujours être utilisées avec action=raw.
Suite à une mise à jour, le logiciel de création de vignettes a été amélioré. En effet, librsvg a été mis à jour vers la version 2.60 et ImageMagick vers la version 7. Cela a permis la résolution d’un certain nombre de bugs de longue date liés à la création de vignettes, tels que des erreurs de rendu.

Tool of the week

Timetrail is a tool by Nahom Araya it visualizes the movement of Wikidata items over time by mapping their associated events and locations. Enter an Item ID/Name and select a supported property from the dropdown list to fetch a timetrail.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

The Wikimedia Deutschland software development plan has been updated to include activity estimates for the third quarter (Q3).
The Wikidata development team is proposing a redesign of Special:NewItem with a warning banner and conflict-of-interest checkbox to reduce the increase in promotional editing. We need your feedback on the wording and designs. Head over to Wikidata:Reducing promotional editing and share your thoughts on the talk page by 15 September.
Due to an increase of non-notable item creation, and their subsequent request for deletion (and undeletion), a new page has been created. Requests for new items exists for those who are unsure if their item idea is notable enough, or have a conflict of interest. The Wikidata Community can help by reviewing requests and offering advice.

Actualités techniques n° 2026-36

Dernier commentaire : il y a 15 jours1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

En lumière cette semaine

Un nouveau format pour la liste de souhaits de la communauté est ouvert aux commentaires. Vous pouvez lire les idées proposées sur Meta. Ce nouveau processus prévoit d'améliorer la manière dont les souhaits sont triés, votés et priorisés d'une manière transparente et équilibrée entre les familles de projets et les éditions linguistiques. Cette consultation est ouverte pendant deux semaines.

Actualités pour la contribution

La dernière version de l'application Wikipédia pour Android comprend des mises à jour de la fonctionnalité «Enregistrés», qui rapprochent l'expérience d'enregistrement de l'application de celle proposée sur iOS et sur le Web. Cette mise à jour repense l'onglet «Enregistrés» en proposant une vue «Tous les articles», supprime la liste de lecture par défaut «Enregistrés», renomme les listes de lecture «Collections» et modernise l'expérience de sauvegarde des articles.
La fonctionnalité Listes de lecture a été activée pour tous les utilisateurs connectés sur les versions de Wikipédia en bengali, chinois, tchèque et vietnamien le 25 août, après plusieurs mois en tant que fonctionnalité bêta. Les listes de lecture seront disponibles pour tous les utilisateurs connectés sur les versions de Wikipédia en arabe, français et indonésien le 1er septembre, suivies par la Wikipédia en anglais le 14 septembre, et toutes les autres versions de Wikipédia le 28 septembre.
À la fin du mois, certains lecteurs non connectés sur les versions en bengali, tchèque, persan, anglais et polonais de Wikipédia utilisant l'habillage Minerva sur mobile verront une barre de navigation mise à jour dans le cadre d'un test A/B. Le test comparera la barre de navigation actuelle avec une nouvelle version conçue pour faciliter la recherche d'informations plus rapidement. L'objectif est de déterminer si ces changements encouragent les lecteurs à revenir plus souvent. Cette expérience n'aura aucune incidence sur l'expérience des lecteurs et/ou des rédacteurs connectés.
Les contributeurs qui gèrent les redirections, les modèles et les catégories utilisés sur les pages de redirection disposent désormais de meilleurs moyens pour trouver et organiser les redirections. Auparavant, il n'était pas possible de rechercher les pages de redirection. Deux nouveaux mots-clés de recherche, onlyredirects: et withredirects:, permettent désormais de rechercher directement les redirections et peuvent être combinés avec des mots-clés existants tels que incategory:, intitle: et insource:.
Les outils de recherche ISBN pour générer des citations ne fonctionnaient pas récemment en raison de problèmes de service externe. Les développeurs travaillent sur des solutions.
Voir les 30 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème où la recherche de pages par catégorie à l'aide de deepcat pouvait ne renvoyer aucun résultat ou des résultats sans rapport a été corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Le domaine des URL pour les miniatures passe de upload.wikimedia.org à thumb.wikimedia.org. Les anciennes URL continueront de fonctionner pour le moment, mais MediaWiki utilisera le nouveau domaine à la place. Les URL vers d'autres types de médias tels que les fichiers originaux, les vidéos et les transcodages seront toujours servies depuis upload.wikimedia.org.
L'API Math de Wikimédia est désormais obsolète. Ces points de terminaison seront complètement arrêtés d’ici la fin de septembre 2026. Les développeurs qui appellent ces points de terminaison devraient passer à des solutions alternatives de rendu mathématique, telles que le MathML natif ou MathJax. Les installations tierces de MediaWiki utilisant l'extension Math pour le rendu des formules doivent effectuer une mise à jour vers la version 1.43+ afin d'éviter toute interruption de service.

Actualités techniques n° 2026-37

Dernier commentaire : il y a 8 jours1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Dernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.

Actualités pour la contribution

La fonctionnalité Ajouter un lien a été améliorée pour les utilisateurs de Wikipédia en anglais, avec une meilleure détection des liens présentant des différences de majuscules. Cela permettra de réduire les suggestions ambiguës dues aux différences de majuscules dans les titres d'articles, notamment ceux consacrés aux biens culturels. Une deuxième phase d'améliorations est prévue, qui permettra également de préparer cette fonctionnalité en vue de son déploiement dans d'autres langues.
La fonctionnalité Guide des articles sera activée par défaut pour les contributeurs débutants sur Wikipédia en anglais simplifié et en turc à compter du 10 septembre 2026, à la suite d'une expérience. Les contributeurs débutants ayant effectué entre 0 et 99 modifications verront automatiquement s'afficher cette fonctionnalité lorsqu'ils cliqueront sur un lien rouge ou utiliseront l'option « Madde oluşturto » sur Wikipédia en turc pour créer un nouvel article. Ce changement vise à aider les contributeurs débutants à créer des articles de meilleure qualité, conformes aux normes de chaque Wikipédia. D'autres améliorations seront apportées en fonction des résultats de l'expérience et des retours de la communauté.
L'outil « Analyse des pages vues », qui permet aux utilisateurs de comparer le nombre de pages vues sur plusieurs pages, fête cette année ses 10 ans et s'est enrichi de plusieurs nouvelles fonctionnalités. Parmi celles-ci figurent WikiNav, qui donne un aperçu de la manière dont les lecteurs de Wikipédia explorent le contenu, les statistiques d'édition dans « Vues du site », la possibilité de rechercher des articles appartenant à un projet Wiki et la prise en charge du mode sombre.
Une barre de navigation Minerva, visuellement simplifiée est actuellement testée auprès des lecteurs non connectés utilisant la version mobile des Wikipédias en bengali, tchèque, anglais, farsi et polonais. Cette expérience vise à déterminer si la simplification de la navigation permet de fidéliser davantage les lecteurs. Le test se déroulera du 31 août au 28 septembre et ne nécessite aucune intervention de la part des utilisateurs.
WMDE Technical Wishes travaille à l'amélioration des noms de référence générés automatiquement dans VisualEditor. Les contributeurs ne remarqueront qu'un léger changement à partir de cette semaine. Lors de l'ajout de noms de référence automatiques, la numérotation commencera par :1 au lieu de :0. Pour en savoir plus, consultez la page du projet.
Tous les wikis seront en lecture seule pendant quelques minutes le 23 septembre. Cette opération est prévue à 14h UTC. De plus amples informations seront publiées dans la rubrique « Tech News » et seront également mises en ligne sur chaque wiki au cours des prochaines semaines.
Voir les 25 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème lié au fait que Parsoid pouvait mal gérer les balises nowiki imbriquées, entraînant la perte de contenu et l'affichage de texte indésirable, a désormais été corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les administrateurs de l'interface peuvent configurer les gadgets à partir de MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition. Le format de définition a été mis à jour et ne nécessite plus l'option ResourceLoader, car les gadgets sont toujours chargés via ResourceLoader. Cela simplifie la configuration des gadgets en supprimant une option qui n'est plus nécessaire, ce qui facilite la tâche des administrateurs lors de la définition des gadgets.

Tech News: 2026-38

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 jour1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

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

Weekly highlight

The Future Audiences team has started a discussion on English Wikipedia about a proposed new experiment to show a temporary notice about the new Google Preferred Sources feature to Wikipedia readers coming from Google. The experiment is to test whether this notice makes visitors come back to Wikipedia more often. Preferred Sources feature lets users choose websites they trust so Google can highlight content from those sources more prominently in Search and AI experiences. We are interested in testing this on other languages that Google supports and would welcome assistance with starting conversations on other wikis. If interested, please reach out to Future Audiences on the talk page.

Updates for editors

The chat platform Discord is releasing a new self-service framework that websites can use to specify how their links should look when shared on Discord. The Future Audiences team is planning to start using this new framework to improve how Wikipedia links look when shared on Discord, giving better attribution and credit to contributors. The link appearance and behavior won't change in the first phase of this project as we want to first collect some baseline data to assess the impact of future changes. However, if community members who are active on Discord spot any issues, they can reach out on Phabricator or Metawiki.
The Reader Growth team will be running an experiment to test whether compacting article lead sections on mobiles with the addition of a "read more" button improves reader retention. The test will begin on September 17 on Arabic, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and Chinese Wikipedias and will run for four weeks.
All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 23. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming week.
View all 28 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where Wikistats for Wikipedias was returning an HTTP 500 error and could not be reached, has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikimedia Commons links tables need to update their code to connect to the new x4 database cluster. The links tables have been moved from the s4 cluster to x4, and will no longer receive updates on s4. The page and redirect tables remain available on both clusters. A wiki replica for the x4 cluster will be set up afterwards. The change is being made because the s4 cluster has grown too large to operate efficiently. You can read more.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
