Horoscope Wikipédia des sans pagEs 2025

Vœux des sans pagEs pour 2025

Nous prédisons aux fans des sans pagEs, dès le mois de janvier 2025, une réduction continuelle des biais de genre, et une présence accrue des minorités ainsi que des embellies d'ambiance stellaire.

Les communautés francophones vont particulièrement fuser en mars. Vénus accompagnera les envolées nébuleuses avec la Quinzaine des autrices au printemps. La Convention LSP sera dopée par Mercure et se tiendra à Lyon sous les bons auspices de la cabale lyonnaise et de nouveaux horizons sur le wiktionnaire. Cet été, le soleil en signe de Terre dopera de calories la cartographie des sorcières sur wikidata sans oublier le traditionnel feu d'artifice du mois des fiertés en juin. Saturne en automne enflammera les citations SheSaid. Jupiter accompagnera en novembre d'une pluie de givre étincelant les sans images sur Commons. Quelque part nous porterons au firmament nos collaborations adelphes avec Noircir Wikipédia et le deuxième texte pour rayonner de mille feux !

La constellation de ces projets n'attend que vous pour demander la lune...

Pour connaitre nos prochains évènements regardez notre agenda. Vous avez une idée pour organiser un projet ou un éditathon ? Contactez-nous par mail : info@sans-pages.org.

Grande année avec les sans pagEs en 2025 !

Other Noteworthy Stuff

Zita Ursula Zage has joined the Software Communication team (SCoT) at Wikimedia Deutschland as an intern until the end of June 2025. Welcome Zita!
VIAF (cf. Q54919 and P214) underwent a relevant change of interface on January 10; the way of visualizing clusters in JSON format has changed in comparison with present OCLC documentation and e.g. http://viaf.org/viaf/102333412/viaf.json doesn't work anymore; this broke most or all Wikidata gadgets using VIAF data; in the absence of official communications from OCLC, developers are trying to understand if the new VIAF interface is stable before changing their gadgets accordingly

Actualités techniques n° 2025-03

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Le système de connexion utilisateur unique (SUL) va être mis à jour durant les prochains mois. Il permet aux utilisateurs et utilisatrices d’être connectés sur tous les sites en même temps après avoir renseigné leurs identifiants sur un site Wikimedia. La mise à jour est nécessaire car les navigateurs restreignent de plus en plus les témoins de connexion inter-domaines. Pour s’adapter à ces restrictions, les pages de connexion et de création de compte seront déplacées vers un domaine central, mais cela apparaitra toujours comme si vous étiez sur le wiki d’origine. Le code mis à jour sera activé cette semaine pour les utilisations sur les wikis de test. Ce changement devrait être déployé pour tous durant février et mars. Consultez la page du projet SUL3 pour plus d’informations et un calendrier.

Actualités pour la contribution

Sur les wikis ayant PageAssessments (évaluation des pages) installée, vous pouvez désormais filtrer les résultats de recherche aux pages dans un projet donné à l’aide du mot-clé inproject:. (Ces wikis : Wikipédia en arabe, Wikipédia en anglais, Wikivoyage en anglais, Wikipédia en français, Wikipédia en hongrois, Wikipédia en népalais, Wikipédia en turc, Wikipédia en chinois.)
Un nouveau wiki a été créé : une Wikipédia en tigré (w:tig:)
Voir les 35 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, il y avait un beugue de mise à jour du compteur de modifications de quelqu’un effectuant une annulation d’une autre modification : cela est maintenant corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les utilisateurs et utilisatrices de l’API REST de Wikimedia (par exemple pour des robots ou des outils) peuvent être impactés par des mises à jour en cours. À partir de la semaine du 13 janvier, nous commencerons à rediriger certains points terminaux de contenu de page depuis RESTbase vers les nouveaux points terminaux de l’API REST de MediaWiki pour tous les projets wiki. Ce changement était disponible sur testwiki, et ne devrait pas affecter les fonctionnalités existantes, mais les utilisateurs actifs des points terminaux concernés peuvent signaler directement à l’équipe des interfaces de MediaWiki tout problème qui arriverait.
Les personnes maintenant des outils sur Toolforge peuvent désormais partager leurs retour sur Toolforge UI, un projet visant à fournir une plateforme web pour la création et la gestion d’outils Toolforge depuis une interface graphique, en plus des processus existant par ligne de commande. Ce projet vise à simplifier les tâches des mainteneurs et mainteneuses actifs, ainsi qu’à rendre l’inscription et les procédures de déploiement plus accessibles aux nouveaux et nouvelles créatrices d’outils. Le projet en est encore à ses balbutiements et l’équipe des services en infonuage recueille des retours de la communauté Toolforge pour aiderà concevoir la solution correspondant à leurs besoins. En savoir plus et donner son avis sur Toolforge UI.
Pour le développement d’outil et bibliothèque qui utilisent le système OAuth : le point terminal d’identité utilisé pour OAuth 1 et OAuth 2 retournait un objet JSON avec un entier dans le sous-champ, ce qui était incorrect (le champ doit toujours être une chaine de caractère); Cela a été corrigé ; le correctif sera déployé sur les wikis Wikimedia la semaine du 13 janvier.
De nombreux wikis utilisent actuellement le CSS de Cite pour insérer des marqueurs de note de bas de page personnalisés dans la sortie de Parsoid. À partir du 20 janvier, ces règles seront désactivées, mais les développeurs vous demandent de ne pas nettoyer votre MediaWiki:Common.css avant le 20 février pour éviter des problèmes pendant la migration. Vos wikis rencontreront peut-être des petits changements dans les marqueurs de notes de bas page dans l’éditeur visuel ou en utilisant le mode de lecture expérimental Parsoid, mais s’il y a des changements, ils devraient garder le rendu cohérent avec la sortie de l’analyseur classique.

Rencontres et évènements

Les prochaines réunions de la série des Discussions communautaires entre Wikimedia Foundation et la communauté de Wikimedia Commons aura lieu le 15 janvier à 8 h UTC et à 16 h UTC. Le sujet de cette conférence porte sur la définition des priorités d’investissement en outils pour Commons. Les contributeurs et contributrices de tous les wikis sont les bienvenus pour participer, notamment celles et ceux qui maintiennent des outils pour Commons.

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using Extension:Nuke. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address.
On wikis that use the Patrolled edits feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as "manually patrolled" instead of "autopatrolled", which is more accurate. Some editors that use filters on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings.
Voir les 31 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. For example, the Visual Editor's "Insert link" feature did not always suggest existing pages properly when an editor started typing, which has now been fixed.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is being progressively removed from the wikis. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. The last group of wikis (Catalan Wikiquote, Wikimedia Finland, Goan Konkani Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikibooks, Wikimedia Sweden) will soon be contacted. If you have questions about this process, please ping Trizek (WMF) at your wiki.
The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: updates about services from the Data Platform Engineering teams, information about Codex from the Design System team, and more.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

As part of an effort to benchmark open source SPARQL engines on Wikidata, the page Wikidata:Scaling Wikidata/Benchmarking/Existing Benchmarks contains some initial results and analyses of benchmarking Blazegraph, MilleniumDB, QLever, and Virtuoso on several existing SPARQL query benchmarks for Wikidata. There are some surprising results there, particularly related to different answers produced by different engines. Suggestions on how to improve the effort or provide deeper explanations of the results are particularly welcome on the discussion page.

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

Patrollers and admins - what information or context about edits or users could help you to make patroller or admin decisions more quickly or easily? The Wikimedia Foundation wants to hear from you to help guide its upcoming annual plan. Please consider sharing your thoughts on this and 13 other questions to shape the technical direction for next year.

Actualités pour la contribution

iOS Wikipedia App users worldwide can now access a personalized Year in Review feature, which provides insights based on their reading and editing history on Wikipedia. This project is part of a broader effort to help welcome new readers as they discover and interact with encyclopedic content.
Edit patrollers now have a new feature available that can highlight potentially problematic new pages. When a page is created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted, a tag ('Recreated') will now be added, which users can filter for in Spécial:Modifications récentes and Spécial:Nouvelles pages.
Later this week, there will be a new warning for editors if they attempt to create a redirect that links to another redirect (a double redirect). The feature will recommend that they link directly to the second redirect's target page. Thanks to the user SomeRandomDeveloper for this improvement.
Wikimedia wikis allow WebAuthn-based second factor checks (such as hardware tokens) during login, but the feature is fragile and has very few users. The MediaWiki Platform team is temporarily disabling adding new WebAuthn keys, to avoid interfering with the rollout of SUL3 (single user login version 3). Existing keys are unaffected.
Voir les 30 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

For developers that use the MediaWiki History dumps: The Data Platform Engineering team has added a couple of new fields to these dumps, to support the Temporary Accounts initiative. If you maintain software that reads those dumps, please review your code and the updated documentation, since the order of the fields in the row will change. There will also be one field rename: in the mediawiki_user_history dump, the anonymous field will be renamed to is_anonymous. The changes will take effect with the next release of the dumps in February.

L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Poisson Fécond » est débattue

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Bonjour GrandCelinien,

L’article « Poisson Fécond » 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:Poisson Fécond/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.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

⚠️ Wikidata Query Service graph split: The graph split is about 2 months away. If you are doing queries that involve scholarly articles or if you have an application that does you will be affected. Please check d:Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split for details.
We (Peter F. Patel-Schneider and Egezort) want to run a course on the Wikidata Ontology for a limited number of participants. Designed for those already familiar with Wikidata, it will present information about ontologies and how they form the core of Wikidata, incorporating several exercises on analyses of and fixes to the Wikidata ontology. Upon successful completion (ending with a group project in consultation by us), participants will receive certificates. Please give feedback and suggestions to improve the structure and course content (found in more detail at WikiProject:Ontology Course) which will be incorporated into our Wikimedia rapid grant application to support the effort. Interested in helping or want to share your thoughts? Let us know.
Several database changes will impact Wikidata in the coming months, including the migration of the term store (wbt_ tables) to a dedicated cluster to improve performance and enable future growth. This move will speed up most Wikidata SQL queries but prevent direct joins between term store data and other Wikidata tables. Additionally, the wb_type table will be removed, with its mapping hardcoded in Wikibase, simplifying the codebase. More details.
Call for projects and mentors for Google Summer of Code 2025! Deadline: February 28th. More info!
Lydia Pintscher awarded the European Open Source Award - Wikidata Portfolio Manager for WMDE, Lydia's contributions to the development of Wikidata have been recognised in the category of Advocacy and Awareness.

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Editors who use the "Special characters" editing-toolbar menu can now see the 32 special characters you have used most recently, across editing sessions on that wiki. This change should help make it easier to find the characters you use most often. The feature is in both the 2010 wikitext editor and VisualEditor.
Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor can now create sublists with correct indentation by selecting the line(s) you want to indent and then clicking the toolbar buttons. You can now also insert <code> tags using a new toolbar button. Thanks to user stjn for these improvements.
Help is needed to ensure the citation generator works properly on each wiki.
- (1) Administrators should update the local versions of the page MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json to include entries for preprint, standard, and dataset; Here are example diffs to replicate for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'.
- (2.1) If the citoid map in the citation template used for these types of references is missing, one will need to be added. (2.2) If the citoid map does exist, the TemplateData will need to be updated to include new field names. Here are example updates for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'. The new fields that may need to be supported are archiveID, identifier, repository, organization, repositoryLocation, committee, and versionNumber.
One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Central Kanuri (w:knc:)
View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the OCR (optical character recognition) tool used for Wikisource now supports a new language, Church Slavonic.

Tech News: 2025-07

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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 Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) has published a draft of their recommendations for the Wikimedia Foundation's Product and Technology department. They have recommended focusing on mobile experiences, particularly contributions. They request community feedback at the talk page by 21 February.

Updates for editors

The "Special pages" portlet link will be moved from the "Toolbox" into the "Navigation" section of the main menu's sidebar by default. This change is because the Toolbox is intended for tools relating to the current page, not tools relating to the site, so the link will be more logically and consistently located. To modify this behavior and update CSS styling, administrators can follow the instructions at T385346.
As part of this year's work around improving the ways readers discover content on the wikis, the Web team will be running an experiment with a small number of readers that displays some suggestions for related or interesting articles within the search bar. Please check out the project page for more information.
Template editors who use TemplateStyles can now customize output for users with specific accessibility needs by using accessibility related media queries (prefers-reduced-motion, prefers-reduced-transparency, prefers-contrast, and forced-colors). Thanks to user Bawolff for these improvements.
View all 22 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the global blocks log will now be shown directly on the Spécial:CentralAuth page, similarly to global locks, to simplify the workflows for stewards.

Updates for technical contributors

Wikidata now supports a special language as a "default for all languages" for labels and aliases. This is to avoid excessive duplication of the same information across many languages. If your Wikidata queries use labels, you may need to update them as some existing labels are getting removed.
The function getDescription was invoked on every Wiki page read and accounts for ~2.5% of a page's total load time. The calculated value will now be cached, reducing load on Wikimedia servers.
As part of the RESTBase deprecation effort, the /page/related endpoint has been blocked as of February 6, 2025, and will be removed soon. This timeline was chosen to align with the deprecation schedules for older Android and iOS versions. The stable alternative is the "morelike" action API in MediaWiki, and a migration example is available. The MediaWiki Interfaces team can be contacted for any questions.

In depth

The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: Updates about the "Contribute" menu; details on some of the newest language editions of Wikipedia; details on new languages supported by the MediaWiki interface; updates on the Community-defined lists feature; and more.
The latest Chart Project newsletter is available. It includes updates on the progress towards bringing better visibility into global charts usage and support for categorizing pages in the Data namespace on Commons.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-08

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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 communautés utilisant les outils de croissance peuvent désormais mettre en avant un évènement pour les nouveaux contributeurs sur la Spécial:Accueil de l’espace personnel. Cette fonctionnalité aidera les nouveaux venus à être informés des activités d'édition auxquels ils peuvent participer. Les administrateurs peuvent ajouter un nouvel évènement à mettre en avant sur Spécial:Configuration communautaire. Pour en apprendre davantage sur cette nouvelle fonctionnalité, vous pouvez lire l'annonce sur Diff, la documentation ou contacter l'équipe Croissance.

Actualités pour la contribution

À partir de la semaine prochaine, les pages de discussions des wikis suivants recevront une nouvelle présentation : Wikipédia en espagnol, Wikipédia en français, Wikipédia en italien, Wikipédia en japonais. Ce changement a été largement testé en tant que fonctionnalité beta et il s'agit de la dernière étape des améliorations aux pages de discussion.
Vous pouvez désormais visualiser une page de redirection directement depuis ses pages d'action, comme la page d'historique. Auparavant, vous étiez automatiquement redirigé vers la page cible et deviez manuellement revenir à la page de redirection. Ce changement devrait aider les rédacteurs travaillant avec les redirections. Merci à stjn pour cette amélioration.
Quand une référence est utilisée de nombreuses fois, les wikis affichent actuellement des nombres comme 1.23 ou des marqueurs avec des lettres comme a, b, c dans la liste de références. Avant, quand le nombre de références était trop important et que toutes les lettres avaient été utilisées, un message d'erreur était affiché. Dans le cadre des travaux pour la modernisation de la personnalisation des références, ces erreurs ne seront plus affichées et des marqueurs numériques comme 1.27 seront utilisés par défaut après épuisement des marqueurs alphabétiques.
Les entrées de journal pour chaque changement aux groupes utilisateur d'un éditeur ont été clarifiés pour indiquer exactement ce qui a été modifié. Elles contenaient auparavant les deux listes des groupes avant et après le changement. Les traducteurs sont invités à aider à traduire les messages système associés. Merci à Msz2001 pour ces améliorations.
Un nouveau filtre a été ajouté à Spécial:Nuke — outil permettant aux administrateurs de supprimer en masse des pages — pour permettre aux utilisateurs de filtrer les pages en fonction de leur taille en octets. Cela permet par exemple de supprimer uniquement des pages inférieures à une certaine taille.
Les non-administrateurs peuvent maintenant voir quelles pages peuvent être supprimées à l'aide de Spécial:Nuke. Merci à MolecularPilot pour cette amélioration et les précédentes.
Voir les 25 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un bug a été corrigé dans la configuration du format de fichier vidéo AV1, ce qui permet à ces fichiers d'être lus à nouveau.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Parsoid Read Views sera déployé sur la plupart des Wiktionnaires dans les prochaines semaines, à la suite de la transition avec succès des Wikivoyage à Parsoid l'année dernière. Pour davantage d'informations, voir la page du projet Parsoid/Parser Unification.
Les développeurs d'outils sur wiki sont informés que mw.Uri est obsolète. Les outils nécessitant mw.Uri doivent déclarer explicitement mediawiki.Uri comme une dépendance de ResourceLoader, et devraient migrer vers l'API URL native du navigateur prochainement.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-10

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Les utilisateurs et utilisatrices connectés utilisant l’affichage mobile peuvent désormais modifier une page complète. Le lien « Modifier toute la page » est accessible dans le menu « Plus » de la barre d’outils. Ce lien était auparavant disponible uniquement lorsque le mode avancé était activé.
Les admins d’interface peuvent désormais retirer les utilisations de la classe CSS « mw-ref » de leur MediaWiki:Common.css local. Cette classe de l’extension Cite est obsolète. La liste des wikis l’utilisant peut être trouvée par cette recherche globale et dans cet exemple. D’autres informations sur les manières d’aider sont données sur la page du projet de migration du CSS. Les appels de note ([1]) sont désormais rendus par Parsoid ; le CSS obsolète n’est plus nécessaire. Le CSS pour les rétroliens « mw:referencedBy » doit rester en place pour le moment. Ce nettoyage ne devrait pas avoir d’effet visible pour les lecteurs et lectrices. Merci d’aider à retirer ce code avant le 30 mars, après quoi l’équipe de développement le fera pour vous.
Lorsque les contributeurs ajoutent un fichier (par exemple [[File:MediaWiki.png]]) sur une page protégée par une protection en cascade, le logiciel ne restreindra plus les modifications à la page de description du fichier, mais uniquement aux nouveaux téléchargements de fichiers. A l’inverse, la transclusion d’une page de description de fichier (par exemple {{:File:MediaWiki.png}}) dans une page protégée en cascade provoquera désormais une restriction des modifications à la page.
Remettre un fichier dans une version antérieure nécessitera désormais les mêmes autorisations que le téléchargement d'une nouvelle version du fichier. Le logiciel vérifie désormais la possession des droits « reupload » ou « reuplod-own » , et respecte la protection en cascade.
Lorsque les admins listent des pages à supprimer avec l’outil Nuke, ils peuvent désormais également répertorier les pages de discussion associées et les redirections à supprimer, en plus des pages créées par la cible, plutôt que de devoir supprimer manuellement ces pages.
La mise à jour mentionnée précédemment de la connexion utilisateur unifiée, qui prendra en compte les restrictions du navigateur sur les cookies inter-domaines en déplaçant la connexion et la création de compte vers un domaine central, sera déployée pour tous les utilisateurs et utilisatrices en mars et avril. L'équipe prévoit de l'activer pour toutes les nouvelles créations de compte sur les wikis du groupe 0 cette semaine. Consultez la page du projet SUL3 pour plus de détails et un calendrier mis à jour.
Depuis la semaine dernière, un bogue cause l'affichage de certaines icônes d'interface sous forme de carrés noirs jusqu'à ce que la page soit entièrement chargée. Cela sera corrigé cette semaine.
Un nouveau wiki a été créé : une Wikipédia en sylheti (w:syl:)
Voir les 23 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un bogue avec le chargement d'images dans de très anciennes versions du navigateur Firefox sur mobile a été corrigé.

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

Les contributeurs qui utilisent des gestionnaires de mots de passe sur plusieurs wikis peuvent remarquer des changements à l’avenir. La manière dont nos wikis fournissent des informations aux gestionnaires de mots de passe sur la réutilisation des mots de passe entre les domaines a été récemment mise à jour, de sorte que certains gestionnaires de mots de passe peuvent maintenant vous proposer des identifiants de connexion que vous avez sauvegardés pour un autre site Wikimedia. Certains gestionnaires de mots de passe l'ont déjà fait, et le font maintenant pour d'autres domaines de Wikimedia. Cela fait partie du projet SUL3 qui vise à améliorer le fonctionnement de notre connexion unifiée et à la rendre compatible avec les changements en cours dans les navigateurs web que nous utilisons.
L'équipe des applications Wikipédia invite les utilisateurs intéressés à contribuer à l'amélioration de l'utilisation de Wikipédia hors ligne ou en internet limité. Après les discussions de Afrika Baraza et la dernière conférence ESEAP, des défis clés comme la recherche, la modification et l'accès hors ligne sont explorés, avec des groupes de discussion à venir pour approfondir ces sujets. Toutes les langues sont les bienvenues et des interprètes seront disponibles. Vous souhaitez partager vos idées ? Participez à la discussion ou envoyez un courriel à aramadan@wikimedia.org !
Tous les wikis seront en lecture seule pendant quelques minutes le 19 mars, à 14 h UTC. De plus amples informations seront publiées dans les Actualités techniques et seront également publiées sur chaque wiki dans les semaines à venir.

Tech News: 2025-12

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Twice a year, around the equinoxes, the Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team performs a datacenter server switchover, redirecting all traffic from one primary server to its backup. This provides reliability in case of a crisis, as we can always fall back on the other datacenter. Thanks to the Listen to Wikipedia tool, you can hear the switchover take place: Before it begins, you'll hear the steady stream of edits; Then, as the system enters a brief read-only phase, the sound stops for a couple of minutes, before resuming after the switchover. You can read more about the background and details of this process on the Diff blog. If you want to keep an ear out for the next server switchover, listen to the wikis on March 19 at 14:00 UTC.

Updates for editors

The improved Content Translation tool dashboard is now available in 10 Wikipedias and will be available for all Wikipedias soon. With the unified dashboard, desktop users can now: Translate new sections of an article; Discover and access topic-based article suggestion filters (initially available only for mobile device users); Discover and access the Community-defined lists filter, also known as "Collections", from wiki-projects and campaigns.
On Wikimedia Commons, a new system to select the appropriate file categories has been introduced: if a category has one or more subcategories, users will be able to click on an arrow that will open the subcategories directly within the form, and choose the correct one. The parent category name will always be shown on top, and it will always be possible to come back to it. This should decrease the amount of work for volunteers in fixing/creating new categories. The change is also available on mobile. These changes are part of planned improvements to the UploadWizard.
The Community Tech team is seeking wikis to join a pilot for the Multiblocks feature and a refreshed Special:Block page in late March. Multiblocks enables administrators to impose multiple different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. If you are an admin or steward and would like us to discuss joining the pilot with your community, please leave a message on the project talk page.
Starting March 25, the Editing team will test a new feature for Edit Check at 12 Wikipedias: Multi-Check. Half of the newcomers on these wikis will see all Reference Checks during their edit session, while the other half will continue seeing only one. The goal of this test is to see if users are confused or discouraged when shown multiple Reference Checks (when relevant) within a single editing session. At these wikis, the tags used on edits that show References Check will be simplified, as multiple tags could be shown within a single edit. Changes to the tags are documented on Phabricator.
The Global reminder bot, which is a service for notifying users that their temporary user-rights are about to expire, now supports using the localized name of the user-rights group in the message heading. Translators can see the listing of existing translations and documentation to check if their language needs updating or creation.
The GlobalPreferences gender setting, which is used for how the software should refer to you in interface messages, now works as expected by overriding the local defaults.
View all 26 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the Wikipedia App for Android had a bug fixed for when a user is browsing and searching in multiple languages.

Updates for technical contributors

Later this week, the way that Codex styles are loaded will be changing. There is a small risk that this may result in unstyled interface message boxes on certain pages. User generated content (e.g. templates) is not impacted. Gadgets may be impacted. If you see any issues please report them. See the linked task for details, screenshots, and documentation on how to fix any affected gadgets.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

En lumière cette semaine

La Fondation Wikimédia souhaite recueillir vos commentaires sur les ébauches des objectifs et des résultats-clés qui façonneront les priorités de la Fondation en matière de produits et de technologies pour la prochaine année fiscale (commençant en juillet). Les objectifs sont des domaines généraux et les résultats-clés permettent de mesurer leur réalisation. N'hésitez pas à partager vos commentaires sur la page de discussion, dans n'importe quelle langue, idéalement avant fin avril.

Actualités pour la contribution

L'extension CampaignEvents sera déployée sur plusieurs wikis (voir le plan de déploiement pour plus de détails) en avril 2025, et l'équipe a commencé le processus d'engagement des communautés sur les wikis identifiés. L'extension fournit des outils pour organiser, gérer et promouvoir des activités collaboratives (comme des événements, des edit-a-thons et des WikiProjects) sur les wikis. L'extension comporte trois outils : Inscription à l'événement, Liste de collaboration et Liste d'invitation. Elle est actuellement présente sur 13 Wikipédias, dont la Wikipédia en anglais, la Wikipédia en français et la Wikipédia en espagnol, ainsi que sur Wikidata. Les questions ou demandes peuvent être adressées sur la page de discussion de l'extension ou sur Phabricator (avec l'étiquette #campaigns-product-team).
À partir de la semaine du 31 mars, les wikis pourront définir quels groupes d'utilisateurs peuvent voir les inscriptions privées dans Inscription à l'événement, dans le cadre de l'extension CampaignEvents. Par défaut, les organisateurs d'événements et les administrateurs du wiki local pourront voir les inscriptions privées. Il s'agit d'un changement par rapport au réglage actuel qui permet seulement aux organisateurs de l'événement de voir les inscriptions privées. Les wikis peuvent modifier la configuration par défaut en demandant un changement de configuration dans Phabricator (et en ajoutant l'étiquette #campaigns-product-team). Les participants aux événements passés peuvent annuler leur inscription à tout moment.
Les administrateurs des wikis qui disposent d'une barre latérale MediaWiki:Sidebar personnalisée doivent vérifier si elle contient une entrée pour la liste Pages spéciales. Si ce n'est pas le cas, ils doivent l'ajouter en utilisant * specialpages-url|specialpages. Les wikis disposant d'une barre latérale par défaut verront le lien déplacé de la boîte à outils de la page vers le menu de la barre latérale en avril.
L'habillage Minerva (web mobile) combine les notifications d'avis et d'alertes dans l'icône de cloche (). Il existait depuis longtemps un bogue qui faisait qu'une indication de nouvelles notifications n'était affichée que si vous aviez des alertes que vous n'avez pas vues. Ce problème est désormais résolu. À l'avenir, les utilisateurs de Minerva remarqueront un compteur au-dessus de l'icône de la cloche lorsque vous avez un ou plusieurs notifications et/ou alertes non vues.
Voir les 23 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

VisualEditor a introduit un nouveau hook côté client pour les développeurs à utiliser lors de l'intégration avec le cycle de vie de la cible VisualEditor. Ce hook devrait remplacer les hooks existants liés au cycle de vie et être plus cohérent entre les différentes plateformes. De plus, le nouveau hook s'appliquera aux utilisations de VisualEditor en dehors de l'édition complète d'articles, permettant aux gadgets d'interagir avec l'éditeur dans DiscussionTools également. L'équipe d'édition a l'intention de déprécier et éventuellement de supprimer les hooks de l'ancien cycle de vie, donc tous les cas d'utilisation que ce nouveau hook ne couvre pas seraient intéressants pour l'équipe et peuvent être partagés dans la tâche.
Les développeurs qui utilisent la bibliothèque JavaScript mw.Api peuvent désormais identifier l'outil qui l'utilise avec le paramètre userAgent : var api = new mw.Api( { userAgent: 'GadgetNameHere/1.0.1' } );. Si vous gérez un gadget ou un script utilisateur, veuillez définir un agent utilisateur, car cela facilite la maintenance de la bibliothèque et du serveur et permet de différencier le trafic légitime du trafic illégitime.

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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 Contribution travaille sur une nouvelle vérification des modifications : le contrôle des éloges. L'objectif de cette vérification est d’identifier les termes non neutres saisis lors de la modification d’une page Wikipédia, afin d’informer l’auteur ou autrice que son texte devrait peut-être être modifié avant publication. Ce projet n’en est qu’à ses débuts ; l’équipe a besoin de l’avis des communautés. Dans cette tâche Phabricator, l’équipe rassemble les recommendations internes des wikis, les modèles utilisés pour étiqueter les articles non neutres et les termes (jargon et mots-clés) utilisés dans les résumés de modification pour les langues étudiées actuellement. Vous pouvez participer en modifiant le tableau sur Phabricator, en commentant la tâche ou en envoyant directement un message à Trizek (WMF).
La connexion utilisateur unique (SUL) a été mise à jour sur tous les wikis afin de déplacer la connexion et la création de compte vers un domaine central. Cela rend la connexion des contributeurs compatible avec les restrictions des navigateurs sur les cookies inter-domaines, qui ont empêché les utilisateurs de certains navigateurs de rester connectés.
Voir les 35 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

À partir du 31 mars, l'équipe MediaWiki Interfaces va lancer une version limitée des spécifications OpenAPI générées et une expérience de bac à sable basée sur SwaggerUI pour MediaWiki REST APIs. L'équipe invite les développeurs d'un groupe limité de communautés Wikipédia non anglophones (arabe, allemand, français, hébreu, interlingua, néerlandais, chinois) à consulter la documentation et à expérimenter le bac à sable dans leur langue de choix. En plus de ces projets Wikipédia spécifiques, le bac à sable et la spécification OpenAPI seront disponibles sur la page spéciale test wiki REST Sandbox pour les développeurs dont l'anglais est la langue préférée. Pendant la période de prévisualisation, l'équipe MediaWiki Interfaces invite également les développeurs à partager leur retour d'expérience. L'aperçu durera environ 2 semaines, après quoi le bac à sable et les spécifications OpenAPI seront mis à la disposition de tous les projets wiki.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

Parfois, un petit changement de code d'une ligne peut avoir une grande importance : dans ce cas, cela signifie que pour la première fois depuis des années, nous sommes en mesure de faire fonctionner toute la pile qui sert maps.wikimedia.org - un hôte dédié à servir nos wikis et leurs besoins en cartes multilingues - à partir d'un seul centre de données, ce que nous testons à chaque fois que nous effectuons un basculement de centre de données. C'est important car cela signifie que si l'un de nos centres de données est affecté par une catastrophe, nous serons toujours en mesure de servir le site. Ce changement est le résultat d'un travail intensif de deux développeurs sur le portage du dernier composant de la pile de cartes sur kubernetes, où nous pouvons allouer des ressources plus efficacement qu'auparavant, ce qui nous permet de supporter plus de trafic dans un seul centre de données. Ce travail a nécessité beaucoup d'étapes compliquées car ce logiciel et les bibliothèques logicielles qu'il utilise nécessitaient de nombreuses mises à jour attendues depuis longtemps. Ce type de travail rend l'infrastructure de Wikimedia plus durable.

Rencontres et évènements

La Conférence des utilisateurs et développeurs de MediaWiki printemps 2025 se déroulera à Sandusky, aux États-Unis, et en ligne, du 14 au 16 mai 2025. La conférence proposera des discussions autour de l'utilisation du logiciel MediaWiki par et au sein d'entreprises de différents secteurs, et inspirera et embarquera de nouveaux utilisateurs. L'inscription et l'enregistrement des présentations sont maintenant disponibles sur le site web de la conférence.

Tech News: 2025-16

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Later this week, the default thumbnail size will be increased from 220px to 250px. This changes how pages are shown in all wikis and has been requested by some communities for many years, but wasn't previously possible due to technical limitations.
File thumbnails are now stored in discrete sizes. If a page specifies a thumbnail size that's not among the standard sizes (20, 40, 60, 120, 250, 330, 500, 960), then MediaWiki will pick the closest larger thumbnail size but will tell the browser to downscale it to the requested size. In these cases, nothing will change visually but users might load slightly larger images. If it doesn't matter which thumbnail size is used in a page, please pick one of the standard sizes to avoid the extra in-browser down-scaling step.

Updates for editors

The Wikimedia Foundation are working on a system called Edge Uniques which will enable A/B testing, help protect against Distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is so that they can more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for.
To improve security for users, a small percentage of logins will now require that the account owner input a one-time password emailed to their account. It is recommended that you check that the email address on your account is set correctly, and that it has been confirmed, and that you have an email set for this purpose.
"Are you interested in taking a short survey to improve tools used for reviewing or reverting edits on your Wiki?" This question will be asked at 7 wikis starting next week, on Recent Changes and Watchlist pages. The Moderator Tools team wants to know more about activities that involve looking at new edits made to your Wikimedia project, and determining whether they adhere to your project's policies.
On April 15, the full Wikidata graph will no longer be supported on query.wikidata.org. After this date, scholarly articles will be available through query-scholarly.wikidata.org, while the rest of the data hosted on Wikidata will be available through the query.wikidata.org endpoint. This is part of the scheduled split of the Wikidata Graph, which was announced in September 2024. More information is available on Wikidata.
The latest quarterly Wikimedia Apps Newsletter is now available. It covers updates, experiments, and improvements made to the Wikipedia mobile apps.
View all 30 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: an invitation for tool maintainers to attend the Toolforge UI Community Feedback Session on April 15th; recent community metrics; and recent technical blog posts.

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

Wikifunctions est désormais intégré à la Wikipédia en dagbani depuis le 15 avril. C'est le premier projet qui pourra appeler des fonctions de Wikifonctions et les intégrer dans des articles. Une fonction est quelque chose qui prend une ou plusieurs entrées et les transforme en un résultat souhaité, comme l'addition de deux nombres, la conversion de miles en mètres, le calcul du temps écoulé depuis un événement, ou la déclinaison d'un mot en une casse. Les Wikifonctions permettront aux utilisateurs de faire cela par un simple appel d'une fonction stable et globale, plutôt que par l'intermédiaire d'un modèle local.
Un nouveau type d'erreur lint a été créé : Titres vides (documentation). L'objectif de l'extension Linter est d'identifier les éléments de wikitexte qui doivent ou peuvent être corrigés dans les pages et de fournir des conseils sur les problèmes posés par ces éléments et sur la manière de les corriger.
Voir les 37 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

À la suite de sa publication sur HuggingFace, l'ensemble de données « Structured Contents », développé par Wikimedia Enterprise, est maintenant également disponible sur Kaggle. Cette initiative bêta vise à rendre les données de Wikimedia plus lisibles par les machines pour les réutilisateurs de gros volumes. Cette version bêta est publiée à un emplacement déjà utilisé par les communautés de données ouvertes, afin de recueillir des commentaires qui permettront d'améliorer le produit en vue d'une future diffusion à plus grande échelle. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur le projet Structured Contents, et sur la première version librement utilisable.
Il n'y a pas de nouvelle version de MediaWiki cette semaine.

Rencontres et évènements

Les équipes de rédaction et d'apprentissage automatique (Editing and Machine Learning Teams) invitent les bénévoles intéressés à une visioconférence pour discuter de la vérification « peacock » (NdT : litt. « paon » mais également une expression idiomatique pour le langage vaniteux, prétentieux), qui est la dernière vérification de modification qui détectera le langage « trop promotionnel » ou « non neutre » pendant qu'un rédacteur est en train de taper.

En lumière cette semaine

La Wikimedia Foundation a partagé le dernier projet de mise à jour de son plan annuel pour l'année prochaine (juillet 2025-juin 2026). Cela comprend un résumé exécutif (également sur Diff), des détails sur les trois principaux objectifs (Infrastructure, Soutien aux bénévoles et Efficacité), tendances mondiales, ainsi que le budget et le modèle financier. Les réactions et les questions sont les bienvenues sur la page de discussion jusqu'à la fin du mois de mai.

Actualités pour la contribution

Pour les wikis qui ont l'extension CampaignEvents activée, deux nouvelles améliorations de fonctionnalités ont été publiées :
- Les administrateurs peuvent désormais choisir les espaces de noms autorisés pour Inscription à un événement via Configuration de la communauté (documentation). Par défaut, l'enregistrement d'un événement est autorisé dans l'espace de noms Event, mais d'autres espaces de noms (tels que l'espace de noms du projet ou l'espace de noms WikiProject) peuvent désormais être ajoutés. Grâce à cette modification, les communautés telles que les WikiProjets peuvent désormais utiliser plus facilement l'enregistrement d'événements pour leurs activités collaboratives.
- Les éditeurs peuvent désormais transclure la liste de collaboration sur une page wiki (documentation). La liste de collaboration est une liste automatisée d'événements et de wikiprojets sur les wikis, accessible via Spécial:AllEvents (exemple). Désormais, la liste de collaboration peut être ajoutée à toutes sortes de pages wiki, telles que : une page principale wiki, une page WikiProjet, une page d'affiliation, une page d'événement, ou même une page d'utilisateur.
Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les développeurs qui utilisent la bibliothèque moment dans les gadgets et les scripts utilisateur doivent réviser leur code pour utiliser des alternatives comme la bibliothèque Intl ou la nouvelle bibliothèque mediawiki.DateFormatter. La bibliothèque moment a été dépréciée et commencera à enregistrer des messages dans la console du développeur. Vous pouvez voir une recherche globale pour les utilisations actuelles, et posez des questions connexes dans cette tâche Phabricator.
Les développeurs qui maintiennent un outil qui interroge les tables de stockage de termes de Wikidata (wbt_*) doivent mettre à jour leur code pour se connecter à une grappe de base de données séparée. Ces tables sont réparties dans une grappe de base de données distincte. Les outils qui interrogent ces tables via les répliques du wiki doivent être adaptés pour se connecter à la nouvelle grappe. La documentation et des liens connexes sont à votre disposition.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

La dernière lettre d’information du projet Chart est disponible. Il comprend des mises à jour sur la préparation de l'extension du déploiement à d'autres wikis dès cette semaine (à partir du 6 mai) et sur la mise à l'échelle au cours des semaines suivantes, ainsi que sur l'exploration du filtrage et de la transformation des données sources.

To address this the graph in Wikidata Query Service has now been split into a main graph (that continues to be at query.wikidata.org) and a scholarly graph (that is at query-scholarly.wikidata.org). For more details please see Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split.
Join the Wikidata:Impact stories global campiagn. We're celebrating the amazing Wikidata community - editors, developers, librarians, and creators - and inviting you to share how Wikidata is used. Your story can inspire others and grow the community. Submit yours or nominate a cool project by June 6.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-20

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Le lien « Obtenir une URL raccourcie » dans la barre latérale inclut désormais un code QR. Les utilisateurs des sites Wikimedia peuvent maintenant l’utiliser en le scannant ou en le téléchargeant pour partager et accéder rapidement au contenu partagé des sites Wikimedia, de manière pratique.

Actualités pour la contribution

La Wikimedia Foundation travaille sur un système appelé « Edge Uniques », qui permettra de réaliser des tests A/B, d’aider à se protéger contre les attaques par déni de service distribué (attaques DDoS), et de mieux comprendre combien de visiteurs les sites Wikimedia reçoivent. Cela vise à construire plus efficacement des outils utiles aux lecteurs, et de les aider à trouver ce qu'ils cherchent. Les Actualités techniques en ont déjà parlé. Le déploiement sera progressif. Certains pourraient voir le cookie « Edge Uniques » à partir de la semaine du 19 mai. Vous pouvez en discuter sur la page de discussion.
À partir du 19 mai 2025, les organisateurs d’événements sur les wikis disposant de l’extension « CampaignEvents » pourront utiliser l’inscription aux événements dans l’espace de noms du projet (par exemple, l’espace Wikipédia, l’espace Wikidata). Avec ce changement, les communautés n’ont plus besoin d’administrateurs pour utiliser cette fonctionnalité. Toutefois, les wikis qui ne souhaitent pas ce changement peuvent retirer et ajouter les espaces de noms autorisés sur Special:CommunityConfiguration/CampaignEvents.
Le projet Wikipédia dispose désormais d’un Wikipédia en nupe (w:nup:). Il s’agit d’une langue principalement parlée dans la région du centre-nord du Nigeria. Les locuteurs de cette langue sont invités à contribuer à la nouvelle Wikipédia.
Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les développeurs peuvent désormais accéder à la Wikipédia néerlandaise pré-analysée, parmi d’autres (anglais, allemand, français, espagnol, italien et portugais), via les instantanés « Structured Contents » (bêta). Le contenu comprend des résumés Wikipédia analysés, des descriptions, des images principales, des infoboxes, des sections d’articles et des références.
Le point de terminaison de l’API REST /page/data-parsoid n’est plus utilisé et sera obsolète. Il est prévu qu’il soit désactivé le 7 juin 2025.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Tech News: 2025-21

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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 Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: Peacock check. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Peacock language model for the following languages: Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Japanese. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org. The deadline to sign up is on May 23, which will be the start date of the test.

Updates for editors

From May 20, 2025, oversighters and checkusers will need to have their accounts secured with two-factor authentication (2FA) to be able to use their advanced rights. All users who belong to these two groups and do not have 2FA enabled have been informed. In the future, this requirement may be extended to other users with advanced rights. Learn more.
Multiblocks will begin mass deployment by the end of the month: all non-Wikipedia projects plus Catalan Wikipedia will adopt Multiblocks in the week of May 26, while all other Wikipedias will adopt it in the week of June 2. Please contact the team if you have concerns. Administrators can test the new user interface now on your own wiki by browsing to Spécial:Bloquer?usecodex=1, and can test the full multiblocks functionality on testwiki. Multiblocks is the feature that makes it possible for administrators to impose different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. See the help page for more information.
Later this week, the Spécial:Pages spéciales listing of almost all special pages will be updated with a new design. This page has been redesigned to improve the user experience in a few ways, including: The ability to search for names and aliases of the special pages, sorting, more visible marking of restricted special pages, and a more mobile-friendly look. The new version can be previewed at Beta Cluster now, and feedback shared in the task.
The Chart extension is being enabled on more wikis. For a detailed list of when the extension will be enabled on your wiki, please read the deployment timeline.
Wikifunctions will be deployed on May 27 on five Wiktionaries: Hausa, Igbo, Bengali, Malayalam, and Dhivehi/Maldivian. This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call functions from Wikifunctions and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of a stable and global function, rather than via a local template.
Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for experiments. This is to showcase and get user feedback on product experiments. The experiments help the Wikimedia movement understand new users, how they interact with the internet and how it could affect the Wikimedia movement. Some examples are generated video, the Wikipedia Roblox speedrun game and the Discord bot.
View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with creating an account using the API, which has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

Gadgets and user scripts that interact with Spécial:Bloquer may need to be updated to work with the new manage blocks interface. Please review the developer guide for more information. If you need help or are unable to adapt your script to the new interface, please let the team know on the talk page.
The mw.title object allows you to get information about a specific wiki page in the Lua programming language. Starting this week, a new property will be added to the object, named isDisambiguationPage. This property allows you to check if a page is a disambiguation page, without the need to write a custom function.
User script developers can use a new reverse proxy tool to load javascript and css from gitlab.wikimedia.org with mw.loader.load. The tool's author hopes this will enable collaborative development workflows for user scripts including linting, unit tests, code generation, and code review on gitlab.wikimedia.org without a separate copy-and-paste step to publish scripts to a Wikimedia wiki for integration and acceptance testing. See Tool:Gitlab-content on Wikitech for more information.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

The 12th edition of Wiki Workshop 2025, a forum that brings together researchers that explore all aspects of Wikimedia projects, will be held virtually on 21-22 May. Researchers can register now.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-22

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Une discussion communautaire à l’échelle du mouvement est désormais ouverte sur Meta au sujet d’un point très délicat pour le développement de « Abstract Wikipedia » : où stocker le contenu abstrait qui sera développé à partir des fonctions de Wikifunctions et des données de Wikidata. La discussion est ouverte jusqu’au 12 juin sur Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content, et tous les avis sont les bienvenus. La décision sera prise et communiquée par la Fondation à l’issue de la période de consultation.

Actualités pour la contribution

Depuis la semaine dernière, sur tous les wikis excepté les vingt plus grands, les utilisateurs de l’éditeur visuel mobile disposent de nouveaux outils dans la barre de menu, accessibles via le nouveau bouton de la barre d’outils +. Pour commencer, le nouveau menu proposera des options pour ajouter : des références, des hiéroglyphes et des blocs de code. Le déploiement sur les autres wikis est prévu pour le mois de juin.
La fonction d’analyse #ifexist ne créera plus de lien vers sa page cible. Cela améliorera l’utilité de Spécial:Pages demandées, qui ne listera à terme que les pages réellement ciblées par un lien rouge. Ce changement se fera progressivement à mesure que les pages sources seront mises à jour.
Cette semaine, l’équipe des outils de modération va lancer un nouveau filtre dans les modifications récentes, en commençant par la Wikipédia en indonésien. Ce nouveau filtre met en évidence les modifications susceptibles d’être annulées. L’objectif est d’aider les patrouilleurs des modifications récentes à repérer les contributions potentiellement problématiques. D’autres wikis bénéficieront de ce filtre à l’avenir.
Lorsqu’ils cliquent sur une barre de recherche vide, les utilisateurs non connectés verront des suggestions d’articles à lire. Cette fonctionnalité sera disponible à la fois sur ordinateur et sur mobile. Les lecteurs des Wikipédias en catalan, hébreu et italien ainsi que de certains projets frères recevront ce changement entre le 21 mai et la mi-juin. Les lecteurs des autres wikis le recevront plus tard. L’objectif est d’encourager les utilisateurs à lire davantage les wikis. En savoir plus.
Certains utilisateurs de l’application Wikipédia sur Android peuvent utiliser une nouvelle fonctionnalité destinée aux lecteurs : « WikiGames », un jeu quotidien de quiz basé sur des événements historiques réels. Le déploiement a commencé sous forme de test A/B, disponible pour 50 % des utilisateurs dans les langues suivantes : anglais, français, portugais, russe, espagnol, arabe, chinois et turc.
L’extension « Newsletter » disponible sur MediaWiki.org permet la création de divers bulletins d’information à destination des utilisateurs de tous les wikis. L’extension peut désormais publier de nouveaux numéros sous forme de liens vers des sections sur une page existante, au lieu de nécessiter une nouvelle page pour chaque numéro.
Voir les 32 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les champs ipblocks, précédemment déclarés obsolètes, seront supprimés début juin dans les Wiki Replicas. Il est recommandé aux utilisateurs d’interroger les nouveaux champs block et block_target à la place.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Rencontres et évènements

« Wikidata et les projets frères » est un événement en ligne de plusieurs jours qui portera sur l’intégration de Wikidata à Wikipédia et aux autres projets Wikimedia. L’événement se déroulera du 29 mai au 1^er juin. Vous pouvez consulter le programme et vous inscrire.

Tool of the week

Wikidata Toolkit The Wikidata Toolkit is an open-source Java library for using data from Wikidata and other Wikibase sites. Its main goal is to make it easy for external developers to take advantage of this data in their own applications.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

A discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of Abstract Wikipedia is now open: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Some of the hypothesis involve Wikidata. You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content.

Tool of the week

Wikidata Qrank is a ranking signal for Wikidata entities. It gets computed by aggregating page view statistics for Wikipedia, Wikitravel, Wikibooks, Wikispecies and other Wikimedia projects. For example, according to the QRank signal, the fictional character Pippi Longstocking ranks lower than Harry Potter, but still much higher than the obscure Äffle & Pferdle.

En lumière cette semaine

L'extension Chart est maintenant disponible sur tous les wikis Wikimedia. Les éditeurs peuvent utiliser cette nouvelle extension pour créer des visualisations de données interactives comme des diagrammes à barres, à lignes, avec des zones, et circulaires. Chart a été créée pour remplacer la plupart des utilisations de l'ancienne extension Graph.

Actualités pour la contribution

Il est maintenant plus simple de configurer les citations automatiques pour votre wiki dans le générateur de citations de l'éditeur visuel. Les administrateurs peuvent maintenant définir un modèle par défaut en utilisant la clé _default dans la page locale MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json (exemple de modification). Définir ce réglage par défaut permettra aussi de pérenniser vos configurations existantes lorsque de nouveaux types d'objets seront ajoutés à l'avenir. Vous pouvez toujours définir des modèles pour des types d'objets individuels et ils seront prioritaires par rapport au modèle par défaut.
Voir les 20 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

À partir de la semaine du 2 juin, les robots qui utilisent action=login ou action=clientlogin pour s'authentifier auront un taux d'échec plus fréquent. Cela est dû à des protections plus fortes contre les connexions suspectes. Les robots qui utilisent des mots de passe de robots ou une authentification sans connexion telle que OAuth ne seront pas affectés. Si votre bot n'utilise aucun des deux, vous devriez le mettre à jour ; utiliser action=login sans un mot de passe de robot a été rendu désuet en 2016. Pour la plupart des robots, cela nécessite seulement de changer quel mot de passe ce dernier utilise.
À partir de cette semaine, les wikis Wikimedia permettront des fonctionnalités ES2017 dans le code JavaScript pour le code officiel, les gadgets et les scripts utilisateurs. La fonctionnalité la plus visible d'ES2017 est la syntaxe async/await, ce qui permet un code plus facile à lire. Jusqu'à cette semaine, la plateforme ne permettait que jusqu'à ES2016, et quelques mois plus tôt, jusqu'à ES2015.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Rencontres et évènements

Les demandes de bourse d'études pour participer à la conférence GLAM 2025 sont maintenant ouvertes. La conférence aura lieu du 30 octobre au 1er novembre, à Lisbonne, au Portugal. Les contributeurs GLAM qui n'ont pas les moyens de financer leur participation peuvent faire une demande ici. La date limite de candidature est le 7 juin.

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 produits Confiance et sûreté finalise les travaux nécessaires au déploiement des comptes temporaires sur les grandes Wikipédias plus tard ce mois-ci. L’équipe a collaboré avec les stewards et d’autres utilisateurs disposant de droits étendus afin d’anticiper et de traiter de nombreux cas d’usage qui pourraient se présenter sur les wikis de grande taille, afin que les membres des communautés puissent continuer à modérer et à patrouiller efficacement les comptes temporaires. Il s’agira de la deuxième des trois phases de déploiement ; la dernière aura lieu en septembre au plus tôt. Pour plus d’informations sur les développements récents du projet, voir cette mise à jour. Si vous avez des commentaires ou des questions, écrivez sur la page de discussion et rejoignez un « CEE Catch Up » ce mardi.

Actualités pour la contribution

La fonctionnalité « expiration de la liste de suivi » permet aux contributeurs de suivre des pages pendant une durée limitée. Une fois ce délai écoulé, la page est automatiquement retirée de votre liste de suivi. À partir de cette semaine, vous pouvez définir une préférence pour la durée par défaut pendant laquelle vous souhaitez suivre les pages. Les préférences permettent également de définir différentes durées par défaut selon que vous modifiez une page existante, que vous en créez une nouvelle ou que vous utilisez l’annulation rapide (rollback).

Exemple d'une page de discussion avec les améliorations, en français.

L’apparence des pages de discussion va changer sur la quasi-totalité des Wikipédias (certaines ont déjà reçu ce nouveau design, quelques-unes le recevront plus tard). Vous pouvez lire les détails concernant ces changements sur Diff. Il est possible de désactiver ces modifications dans les préférences utilisateur (« Afficher l’activité de la discussion »).
Les utilisateurs disposant de certains droits étendus (y compris les administrateurs, bureaucrates, vérificateurs, masqueurs et stewards) peuvent désormais voir les adresses IP de tous les comptes temporaires révélées automatiquement pendant des périodes limitées, lorsqu’ils doivent lutter contre du vandalisme rapide impliquant des changements fréquents de compte. Cette fonctionnalité a été demandée par les stewards.
Cette semaine, les équipes des outils de modération et d’apprentissage automatique poursuivent le déploiement d’un nouveau filtre dans les Modifications récentes, en l’étendant à plusieurs autres Wikipédias. Ce filtre utilise le modèle « Revert Risk », développé par l’équipe de recherche, pour mettre en évidence les modifications susceptibles d’être annulées et aider les patrouilleurs à repérer les contributions potentiellement problématiques. La fonctionnalité sera déployée sur les Wikipédias suivantes : Wikipédia en afrikaans, Wikipédia en biélorusse, Wikipédia en bengali, Wikipédia en gallois, Wikipédia en hawaïen, Wikipédia en islandais, Wikipédia en kazakh, Wikipédia en anglais simplifié, Wikipédia en turc. Le déploiement se poursuivra dans les semaines à venir pour inclure le reste des Wikipédias concernées par ce projet.
Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les éditeurs de filtres anti-abus actifs sur Meta-Wiki et les grandes Wikipédias sont priés de mettre à jour les filtres pour les rendre compatibles avec les comptes temporaires. Un lien vers les instructions ainsi que vers les listes privées des filtres à vérifier est disponible sur Phabricator.
Les modules Lua ont désormais accès au nom de l’image miniature associée à une page, et sur certains wikis, aux informations d’évaluation des WikiProjets. Cela est possible grâce à deux nouvelles propriétés des objets mw.title, nommées pageImage et pageAssessments.

En lumière cette semaine

Cette semaine, les équipes des outils de modération et d'apprentissage automatique poursuivront le déploiement d'un nouveau filtre pour les modifications récentes, le lançant à la troisième et dernière série de Wikipédia. Ce filtre utilise le modèle de risque de réversion, qui a été créé par l'équipe de recherche, pour mettre en avant les modifications susceptibles d'être annulées et aider les patrouilleurs des modifications récentes à identifier les contributions potentiellement problématiques. La fonctionnalité sera déployée sur les Wikipédias suivantes : Wikipédia en azéri, Wikipédia en latin, Wikipédia en macédonien, Wikipédia en malayalam, Wikipédia en marathe, Wikipédia en norvégien nynorsk, Wikipédia en pendjabi, Wikipédia en swahili, Wikipédia en télougou, Wikipédia en tagalog. Le déploiement se poursuivra dans les semaines à venir pour inclure le reste des Wikipédias de ce projet.

Actualités pour la contribution

La semaine dernière, des comptes temporaires ont été déployés sur les Wikipédias tchèque, coréenne et turque. Cette semaine et la semaine prochaine, des déploiements sur des Wikipédias plus importantes suivront. Partagez vos pensées sur le projet.
Plus tard cette semaine, l'équipe d'Édition publiera Multi Check sur toutes les Wikipédias (à l'exception de la Wikipédia en anglais). Cette fonctionnalité affiche plusieurs vérifications de références dans l'interface d'édition. Elle encourage les utilisateurs à ajouter des citations lorsqu'ils ajoutent plusieurs nouveaux paragraphes à un article Wikipédia. Cette fonctionnalité était auparavant disponible en tant que test A/B. Le test montre que les utilisateurs qui voient plusieurs vérifications sont 1,3 fois plus susceptibles d'ajouter une référence à leur modification, et que leur modification est moins susceptible d'être annulée (-34,7 %).
Quelques pages doivent être renommées en raison de mises à jour logicielles et pour correspondre à des normes Unicode plus récentes. Tous ces changements sont liés aux modifications de la capitalisation des titres. Environ 71 pages et 3 fichiers seront renommés, sur 15 wikis ; la liste complète se trouve dans la tâche. Les développeurs renommeront ces pages la semaine prochaine, et ils corrigeront les redirections et les liens de fichiers intégrés quelques minutes plus tard via une mise à jour des paramètres système.
Voir les 24 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un bug qui avait fait défiler les pages vers le haut lorsque du texte près du haut était sélectionné a été corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les éditeurs peuvent désormais utiliser des modules Lua pour filtrer et transformer des données tabulaires à utiliser avec Extension:Chart. Cela peut être utilisé pour des choses comme sélectionner un sous-ensemble de lignes ou de colonnes à partir des données sources, convertir entre des unités, le traitement statistique et de nombreuses autres transformations utiles. Des informations sur la façon d'utiliser les transformations sont disponibles.
La variable all_links dans AbuseFilter a été renommée new_links pour plus de cohérence avec les autres variables. Les anciennes utilisations continueront de fonctionner.

Tool of the week

User:Jon Harald Søby/senseItemLabel.js What it does is that when you add a P5137 statement in a lexeme, it will let you add the lemma as a label to the item in one click, if the item doesn't have a label in that language yet, or if the label is different (very useful for case differences, for instance)

Other Noteworthy Stuff

The Wikidata Ontology Course has finished its course sessions. The slides for all sessions of the course are available on the course page. Part of participating in the course was to set up a project related to the Wikidata Ontology. Current information on the projects, many of which are continuing after the end of the course is now available. If you are interested in one or more of the projects please follow the project, add something to its discussion page, or contribute to it.
PhD Position in Digital History at the University of Luxembourg is seeking someone with experience in Wikibase and Linked Open Data.

En lumière cette semaine

La extension CampaignEvents a été activée sur toutes les Wikipédias. L'extension facilite l'organisation et la participation à des activités collaboratives, telles que les edit-a-thons et les WikiProjects, sur les wikis. L'extension a trois fonctionnalités : Inscription à un événement, Liste de collaboration, et Liste d'invitation. Pour demander l'extension pour votre wiki, visitez la page d'information sur le déploiement.

Actualités pour la contribution

Les mainteneurs des filtres de abus peuvent maintenant faire correspondre avec les données de réputation IP dans Filtres d'abus. Les données de réputation IP sont des informations sur les proxys et les VPN associés à l'adresse IP de l'utilisateur. Ces données ne sont pas affichées publiquement et ne sont pas générées pour les actions effectuées par des comptes enregistrés.
Le contenu caché qui se trouve dans des parties réductibles des pages wiki sera désormais révélé lorsqu'une personne recherche la page en utilisant la fonction « Rechercher dans la page » du navigateur Web (Ctrl+F ou ⌘F) dans les navigateurs compatibles.
Une nouvelle fonctionnalité, appelée Modèles favoris, sera déployée plus tard cette semaine sur tous les projets (sauf la Wikipédia en anglais, qui recevra la fonctionnalité la semaine prochaine), suite à une phase de test sur les Wikipédias polonaise et arabe, et sur les Wikisource italien et anglais. Cette fonctionnalité offrira une meilleure façon pour les contributeurs nouveaux et expérimentés de se souvenir et de découvrir des modèles via la boîte de dialogue des modèles, en permettant aux utilisateurs de mettre des modèles sur une "liste de favoris" spéciale. La fonctionnalité fonctionne à la fois avec l'éditeur visuel et l'éditeur wikitext. Cette fonctionnalité est un domaine d'intérêt de la wishlist de la communauté.
Voir les 31 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un bug a été corrigé qui avait causé l'envoi de certaines notifications plusieurs fois.

En lumière cette semaine

Des comptes temporaires ont été déployés sur 18 Wikipédias larges et de taille moyenne, y compris l'allemand, japonais, français et chinois. Maintenant, environ un tiers de toute l'activité des utilisateurs non connectés sur les wikis provient des comptes temporaires. Les utilisateurs impliqués dans la surveillance peuvent être intéressés par deux nouvelles pages de documentation : Accès à IP, expliquant tout ce qui concerne l'accès aux adresses IP des comptes temporaires, et Dépôt avec une liste de nouveaux gadgets et scripts utilisateur.

Actualités pour la contribution

Tout le monde peut jouer à un nouveau jeu expérimental, WikiRun, qui vous permet de courir à travers Wikipédia en cliquant d'un article à l'autre, dans le but d'atteindre une page cible en aussi peu d'étapes et en aussi peu de temps que possible. L'objectif du projet est d'explorer de nouvelles façons d'engager les lecteurs. Essayez de jouer au jeu et faites savoir à l'équipe ce que vous en pensez sur la page de discussion.
Les utilisateurs de l'application Android de Wikipédia dans certaines langues peuvent désormais jouer au nouveau jeu de trivia. Lequel est arrivé en premier ? est un simple jeu d'histoire où vous devinez lequel de deux événements s'est produit plus tôt à la date du jour. Il était auparavant disponible en tant que test A/B. Il est maintenant disponible pour tous les utilisateurs en anglais, allemand, français, espagnol, portugais, russe, arabe, turc et chinois. L'objectif de cette fonctionnalité est d'aider à engager de nouvelles générations de lecteurs.
Les utilisateurs de l'application Wikipédia iOS dans certaines langues peuvent voir une nouvelle fonctionnalité de navigation par onglets qui vous permet d'ouvrir plusieurs onglets pendant que vous lisez. Cette fonctionnalité facilite l'exploration de sujets connexes et le passage d'un article à l'autre. Le test A/B est actuellement en cours en arabe, en anglais et en japonais dans des régions sélectionnées. Plus de détails sont disponibles sur la page du projet Navigation par onglets.
Les bureaucrates sur les wikis Wikimédia peuvent maintenant utiliser Spécial:VerifyOATHForUser pour vérifier si les utilisateurs ont activé l'authentification à deux facteurs.
Une nouvelle fonctionnalité liée à Rappel et découverte de modèle sera déployée plus tard cette semaine sur tous les projets Wikimédia : un navigateur de catégories de modèles sera introduit pour aider les utilisateurs à trouver des modèles à ajouter à leur liste de « favoris ». Le navigateur permettra aux utilisateurs de parcourir une liste de modèles qui ont été organisés dans un arbre de catégories donné. La fonctionnalité a été demandée par la communauté à travers la liste de souhaits de la communauté.
Il est désormais possible d'accéder aux préférences de la liste de surveillance depuis la page de la liste de surveillance. De plus, le bouton redondant pour modifier la liste de surveillance a été retiré.

Integration in Wikipedia and co:
- We began research into current limits for collapsing entity usage. (Basically when an article uses more data from an Item than the configured limit then we consider all data on that Item to be used. This is done for infrastructure reasons.) We’d like to improve this to further reduce unnecessary Wikidata changes showing up on watchlist and recent changes on Wikipedia and co.
- We will roll out showing labels instead of IDs in Wikidata edits in watchlist and recent changes to more wikis later this week.

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Development

Wikibase REST API: We have enabled the new Item Prefix Search endpoint on wikidata. You can try it out now with a call like this: https://www.wikidata.org/w/rest.php/wikibase/v0/suggest/items?language=en&q=potat If you have feedback please leave it at Wikidata talk:REST API feedback round
Additional APIs: We are looking a bit more into GraphQL and what it could offer to make programmatic access to Wikidata's data better.
Wikidata integration in the Wikimedia projects: We enabled showing the labels of entities in edit summaries in recent changes and watchlist. Now you no longer have to click to get to Wikidata and check what is behind a mystery ID in an edit summary coming from Wikidata.
Mobile statement editing: We are working on formatting references, qualifiers, various data types and multiple statements for one property. We are planning to enable the new mobile UI on Beta Wikidata soon. Important: For now it is a read-only UI, as we have not started to implement editing yet, and some data types won’t have the correct appearance yet.

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Tech News: 2025-30

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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 Translation Suggestions feature in the Content Translation tool now has another level of article filters added to the "... More" category. Translators who use the Suggestions feature can now select and receive article suggestions that are customized to geographical locations of their interest using the new "Régions" filter.
Administrators can now limit "Add a Link" to newcomers. The "Add a Link" Structured Task helps new account holders start editing, but some communities have requested the ability to restrict it to its intended audience: newcomers. Administrators can configure this setting within the Community Configuration feature.
View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

For AbuseFilter editors on some wikis, it is now possible to filter edits based on the RevertRisk score of the edit being attempted. It is only populated if the action being evaluated is an edit. For more information, please see the ORES/AbuseFilter variables documentation.
The Beta Cluster wikis have been moved from beta.wmflabs.org to beta.wmcloud.org. Users may need to update URLs in any tools, or in their password managers. Any related issues can be reported in the task.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

WikiCite 2025 will take place from 29–31 August, both online and in-person in Bern, Switzerland. The event's goals are to reconnect communities, institutions, and individuals working with open citations, bibliographic data, and the Wikidata/Wikibase ecosystem. Registration is open and the call for proposals will be announced soon.

L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Romain Humeau » est débattue

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 commentaire1 participant à la discussion

Page proposée au débat d'admissibilité

Bonjour GrandCelinien,

L’article « Romain Humeau » 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:Romain Humeau/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.

En lumière cette semaine

Au cours des prochains mois, l’équipe Community Tech se concentrera sur les souhaits liés aux listes de suivi et aux pages des Modifications récentes. Elle est à la recherche de retours. Merci de lire la dernière mise à jour et, si vous avez des idées, de soumettre un souhait sur ce sujet.

Actualités pour la contribution

La communauté de Wikimedia Commons a décidé de bloquer les téléversements interwiki vers Wikimedia Commons pour tous les utilisateurs ne disposant pas des droits d’utilisateur autoconfirmé sur ce wiki, à partir du 16 août. Cette décision fait suite à de nombreux problèmes liés aux fichiers téléversés par de nouveaux arrivants. Les utilisateurs concernés verront un message d’erreur contenant un lien vers l’Assistant de téléversement, moins restrictif, sur Commons. Merci d’aider à traduire le message ou de donner votre avis sur son contenu. Pensez également à mettre à jour vos pages d’aide locales pour expliquer cette restriction.
Sur les wikis où les comptes temporaires sont activés, ainsi que sur Meta-Wiki, les administrateurs peuvent désormais configurer un pied de page pour les pages « Spécial:Contributions » des comptes temporaires, similaire à ceux pouvant être affichés sur les pages d’IP et de comptes utilisateur. Ils peuvent le faire en créant la page nommée MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-temp.

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Les contributeurs peuvent désormais activer les cartouches d’infos utilisateur. Cette fonctionnalité ajoute une icône à côté des noms utilisateur sur les pages d’historique et autres pages listant des contributions. Lorsque vous appuyez ou cliquez sur l’icône, elle affiche les données concernant ce compte utilisateur telles que le nombre de modifications, de modifications annulées, de blocages, etc. Cela s’inscrit dans un projet plus large visant à faciliter, pour la modération, l’évaluation du sérieux des comptes. La fonctionnalité peut déjà être activée dans vos préférences globales et pourra cette semaine être activée dans vos préférences locales.
Tout le monde est invité à faire part de ses commentaires sur les Contributions collaboratives, un projet récemment lancé par l’équipe Connexion. Le projet vise à créer de nouvelles façons d’afficher l’impact des activités de contribution collaborative (telles que les contribuathons, les listes de travaux à faire et les wikiprojets) sur les wikis. Écrivez votre avis sur la page de discussion du projet.
Les admins peuvent désormais définir la durée de blocage par défaut pour les comptes temporaires. Pour cela, il faut créer une page intitulée MediaWiki:Ipb-default-expiry-temporary-account et utiliser une valeur définie dans MediaWiki:Ipboptions. Cela permet de bloquer facilement des comptes temporaires pour 90 jours, ce qui équivaut à un blocage indéfini. L’avantage de cette solution est que cela n’encombre pas Spécial:Liste_des_blocages. Une documentation est disponible.
Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les gadgets peuvent désormais inclure des fichiers .vue. Cela facilite le développement d’interfaces utilisateur modernes avec Vue.js et notamment Codex, le système de mise en forme officiel de Wikimedia. Les icônes Codex peuvent être chargées depuis la définition du gadget. La documentation contient des exemples. Pour les scripts utilisateur qui utilisent Vue.js, un module de l’API existe désormais pour charger des icônes Codex.
Les personnes développant des modules peuvent désormais utiliser une interface Lua pour simplifier la préparation des modules Lua pour la traduction sur Méta-Wiki. Cette amélioration rend plus facile pour les traducteurs et traductrices de trouver et de modifier des messages à traduire au sein des modules, sans avoir à s’occuper du code Lua. Cela évite les erreurs qui peuvent casser le module pendant la traduction. Les personnes développant ou traduisant des modules sont invitées à regarder la vidéo de démonstration pour comprendre comment cela fonctionne, à utiliser Module:User Wikimedia project de Méta-Wiki comme exemple et à expliquer si cela répond aux problématiques de leur processus de travail. L’interface rencontre encore des problèmes de performance, il faut éviter de l’utiliser sur des modules fortement utilisés pour le moment.
Les personnes développant des outils externes qui se connectent aux pages Wikimedia doivent définir un agent utilisateur conforme au règlement sur les agents utilisateur. Ce règlement sera appliqué plus strictement en aout en raison de robots externes qui abusent des ressources de Wikimedia. Les outils qui sont hébergés sur Toolforge de Wikimedia ou sur Cloud VPS ne seront pas affectés pour le moment, mais devraient quand même définir un agent utilisateur. D’autres détails techniques sont disponibles ; les questions afférentes sont les bienvenues sur la tâche.
L’utilisation de Parsoid pour l’affichage des pages va être déployée sur certaines petites Wikipédia dans les prochaines semaines, à la suite du passage réussi des Wikivoyage et Wikitionnaires à Parsoid pour l’affichage des pages. Pour plus d’informations, consultez la page du projet Parsoid/Unification des analyseurs syntaxiques.

Actualités pour la contribution

La barre d'outils WikiEditor inclut désormais ses raccourcis clavier dans les infobulles de ses boutons. Cela contribuera à améliorer la découvrabilité de cette fonctionnalité.
Le Conseil consultatif sur les produits et les technologies a publié une série de propositions d'expériences que la Fondation Wikimédia pourrait mettre en œuvre pour améliorer la communication avec la communauté. Les commentaires sur ces propositions sont les bienvenus jusqu'au 22 août sur cette page de discussion.
La barre de recherche sur l’habillage Minerva (mobile) a été mise à jour pour utiliser le même composant de recherche assistée que celui de l’habillage Vector 2022. La fonctionnalité de recherche reste inchangée, mais des modifications visuelles mineures ont été apportées. En particulier, le bouton pour fermer la recherche a changé : ce n’est plus une croix « X », mais une flèche vers l’arrière. Cela permet de le distinguer de l’autre bouton « X » permettant d’effacer le texte.
Les contributeurs à certains wikis verront une nouvelle option pour « Grouper les résultats par page » sur la liste de suivi, le suivi des pages liées à une page et les pages des modifications récentes. Il s'agit d’un test A/B qui débutera le 11 août et durera de 3 à 6 semaines sur les Wikipédia en bengali, chinois, tchèque, français, grec, portugais et ourdou. L’expérience étudiera comment le fait de rendre cette fonctionnalité plus détectable pourrait affecter la capacité des contributeurs à trouver les modifications qu’ils recherchent.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les jeux de données multiwiki de données Unicode ont été déplacés vers Category:Unicode Module Datasets (la catégorie des jeux de données Unicode des modules) sur Wikimedia Commons, conformément au principe « Une source de données commune, plusieurs wikis locaux ». La plupart des wikis ont été mis à jour pour utiliser la version Commons. Vous pouvez poser vos questions sur la page de discussion.
Le code Lua peut ajouter des avertissements en cas d'anomalie grâce à la fonction mw.addWarning(). Il est désormais possible d'ajouter plusieurs avertissements, au lieu de remplacer les anciens par de nouveaux. Si vous maintenez un module Lua qui utilise des avertissements, vérifiez qu’il fonctionne toujours correctement.

Development

Mobile editing of statements: We are continuing the work - so far on the read-only mobile version. We will start looking into editing soon. You can follow along with the development on beta Wikidata.
GraphQL: We are continuing some experiments with GraphQL to see if it is useful for specific types of access to Wikidata's data.
Dumps: We are starting to experiment with subset dumps to see if we can get meaningful smaller dumps for reusers.
Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
- We are working on scalability issues around the number of changes from Wikidata that get sent to Wikipedia and co. As part of this we are continuing to look into how to decrease the number of changes in recent changes and watchlist on Wikipedia and co that don't actually affect an article there.
- We are investigating how the upcoming larger rollout of Parsoid affects the tracking of Wikidata usage in articles.
- We are looking into improving the Databox Lua module that is used especially in smaller Wikipedias to get Wikidata-powered infoboxes.
Federation: We are looking at the previous prototype for Federated Properties that allowed to use Wikidata's Properties on another Wikibase instance. We are checking what if anything of it can be revived for our current work to allow other Wikibase instances to use Wikidata's Items and Properties seamlessly.
Data governance: We are concluding research around the current undestanding of people about which data should go where in the Wikibase Ecosystem.
Constraint reports: We limited Special:ConstraintReport to logged-in users to avoid AI scrapers hitting the systems too hard ([[phab:T401789]))

Actualités techniques n° 2025-35

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Les auteurs de modèles peuvent désormais utiliser davantage de propriétés CSS, depuis que le mécanisme de filtrage CSS utilisé par TemplateStyles a été mis à jour. Par exemple : width: fit-content ; ruby-align ; des unités relatives comme lh ; et des chaînes de caractères personnalisées dans list-style-type. Ces améliorations répondent à un souhait exprimé dans la liste des souhaits de la communauté.
Sur les grands wikis, la période par défaut pour l’affichage des modifications dans la page « Special:RecentChanges » est passée de 7 jours à 1 jour. Cela fait partie d’un projet d’amélioration des performances. Ce changement ne devrait avoir aucun impact visible pour les utilisateurs, en raison du volume élevé de modifications sur ces wikis.
Les administrateurs peuvent désormais accéder à la page Spécial:BlockedExternalDomains depuis la page de liste Spécial:Configuration communautaire. Cela permet de la trouver plus facilement.
Les vidéos de Wikimedia Commons n’apparaissaient pas dans l’onglet « Vidéos » de la recherche Google. Le problème a été analysé et signalé à Google, qui l’a désormais corrigé.
Un nouveau wiki a été créé : Un Wiktionnaire en betawi (wikt:bew:)
Voir les 39 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Deux champs de la table de base de données « recentchanges » vont être supprimés. rc_new et rc_type sont retirés au profit de rc_source. Les requêtes utilisant ces anciens champs commenceront à échouer dès cette semaine, et les développeurs doivent utiliser rc_source à la place. Ces champs obsolètes avaient été dépréciés il y a plus de 10 ans et ne devraient plus être utilisés. Cette modification s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un travail visant à améliorer les performances et la stabilité des requêtes sur la table « recentchanges ».
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

Le dernier numéro trimestriel de la Lettre d’information sur les langues et l’internationalisation est désormais disponible. Cette édition inclut : la prise en charge de nouvelles langues dans MediaWiki et translatewiki ; le lancement du projet « Language Onboarding and Development » visant à soutenir la croissance des wikis nouveaux et de petite taille ; des mises à jour sur des projets de recherche ; et bien plus encore.

Rencontres et évènements

La prochaine réunion de la communauté des langues aura lieu bientôt, le 29 août à 15 h UTC. La réunion de cette semaine portera notamment sur les développeurs du clavier Avro de Wikimedia Bangladesh, qui ont récemment reçu une récompense nationale pour leur contribution à ce clavier, ainsi que sur d’autres sujets.

Development

Mobile editing of statements: We developed the first pieces of the edit mode as well as the ability to add statements. You can always follow along on beta Wikidata and find more information on the project page.
Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects: We are continuing to look into reducing the number of changes that show up on Wikipedia and co's Recent changes and Watchlist (phab:T401284)
Federation: We looked at previous requests to add new endpoints to the list of SPARQL endpoints you can federate with and are cleaning up the process for getting new ones added. If you have one you'd like to write federated SPARQL queries to now is a good time to request them.
Lexicographical data: You can now limit searches to Lexemes with a Lemma in a specific spelling variant with the haslemma keywords and to Lexemes with a specific language with the in language keyword. Examples: 1 2 (phab:T271776)
GraphQL: We are evaluating feedback we received so far. If you are developing applications with Wikidata's data it'd be great if you could have a look at the current prototype and provide feedback.
Dumps: We are experimenting to see how we can provide smaller subset dumps for Wikidata (phab:T400870)

L'extension facilite l'organisation et la participation à des activités collaboratives, comme les edit-a-thons et les WikiProjects, sur les wikis. L'extension dispose de trois fonctionnalités : Inscription à l'événement, Liste de Collaboration, et Liste d'invitation. Pour demander l'extension pour votre wiki, visitez la page d'information sur le déploiement.
Les listes dans le pied de page de l'interface d'édition, telles que des « Modèles utilisés sur cette page », seront désormais organisées en colonnes lorsqu'il y a suffisamment d'espace. Cette amélioration minimise le défilement lors de la modification d'articles longs sur Wikipédia.
Le 3 septembre 2025, nous augmenterons les pourcentages d'échantillonnage de notre expérience de groupe par bascule des pages Special:RecentChanges, Special:Watchlist et Special:RelatedChanges sur les Wikipédias chinoise, française et portugaise à 100 %, permettant à davantage d'éditeurs de participer à cette expérience. Cet ajustement vise à garantir que nous disposons de données suffisantes pour prendre des décisions éclairées lors de l'évaluation des résultats de l'expérience.
En cliquant sur une barre de recherche vide, les utilisateurs déconnectés verront des suggestions d'articles à lire sur Wikipedia en anglais à partir de la semaine du 22 septembre. La fonctionnalité sera disponible sur ordinateur et mobile. Tous les wikis non anglophones ont reçu ce changement en juin et juillet. L'objectif est de faciliter la recherche d'articles pour les utilisateurs. En savoir plus.

Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

Wikifunctions a désormais une nouvelle capacité appelée « types d'énumération légers », un type d'énumération est simplement un ensemble fixe de valeurs qui se trouve dans la définition du type. Cette capacité permet de définir rapidement et facilement un tel type, et permet la réutilisation de valeurs déjà présentes dans Wikidata. Voici une infolettre pour en savoir plus.
Le dernier Bulletin des lecteurs est désormais disponible. Cette édition comprend : la création de deux nouvelles équipes — Croissance des Lecteurs et Expérience des Lecteurs ; des aperçus sur la baisse des pages vues et des créations de comptes ; des points forts du panel de Wikimania Nairobi sur l'amélioration de l'expérience de lecture ; des expériences à venir pour engager de nouveaux lecteurs et les lecteurs existants ; et plus encore.

Rencontres et évènements

Résumé de certaines sessions de Wikimania 2025 :
- Identifier le texte généré par l'IA en recherchant des ISBN dont les sommes de contrôle échouent : Mathias Schindler de WMDE a partagé des outils pour aider les communautés à les rechercher.
- La durabilité du mouvement Wikimedia face aux défis actuels et futurs : Cette session a exploré comment Wikimedia peut rester une source de connaissances fiable à l'ère de l'IA générative, de la surcharge d'information et de la désinformation.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-37

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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 Édition travaille sur une nouvelle vérification : la vérification de copier-coller. Cette vérification informe les nouveaux venus qui copient du texte dans Wikipédia que le contenu est susceptible d'être refusé. Elle vise à s'assurer que le contenu ajouter à Wikipédia est en accord avec l'engagement du mouvement pour offrir une information sous licence libre. Cette vérification sera prochainement à l'essai sur quelques wikis. Si votre communauté est intéressée par cet essai, merci de nous en informer dans cette tâche ou de contacter l'équipe.

Actualités pour la contribution

Plus tard cette semaine, les utilisateurs et utilisatrices de la fonctionnalité beta « ⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽ » recevront des outils de lint permettant de détecter les erreurs et autres problèmes potentiels dans le wikicode en temps réel. Voir la page d'aide pour plus d'informations.
En naviguant sur un wiki (par exemple, en.wikipedia.org), le logiciel répond de deux manières : avec une page bureau ou une redirection vers une version mobile au nom de domaine en « m » (comme en.m.wikipedia.org). Durant les trois prochaines semaines, MediaWiki commencera à afficher la version mobile aux appareils mobiles directement sur le domaine standard, sans la redirection. Ce changement n'affecte pas les URLs en m. existantes, ni les personnes ayant choisi d'utiliser la « version de bureau » sur mobile. En savoir plus.
Le nombre d'éléments d'une catégorie est désormais mis à jour de manière asynchrone lorsque la modification d'une page entraîne un changement de ses catégories. Cela améliore la vitesse d'enregistrement des modifications, en particulier lorsque vous déplacez de nombreuses pages vers ou depuis une même catégorie, et réduit le risque de panne de site, mais cela signifie que le nombre d'éléments affiché d'une catégorie peut être incorrect pendant quelques minutes.
Sur Wikidata, les modifications aux qualificatifs (propriétés et valeurs) et aux références dans une déclaration d'élément Wikidata n'ajouteront temporairement plus d'entrées aux pages « Modifications récentes » et « Liste de suivi » sur tous les autres wikis. Il s'agit d'un changement temporaire afin d'améliorer les performances en attendant que d'autres solutions soient créées. Les pages dans Wikidata resteront inchangées. En savoir plus.
Les wikis en langue japonaise ont reçu une amélioration majeure dans la manière dont la recherche fonctionne. La nouvelle recherche devrait généralement donner des résultats de recherche plus pertinents et plus précis.

Showcase Lexemes:blow (L4476) - English verb (bloʊ) meaning "to push air", "to explode", or "to perform fellatio"

Development

Scalability/sustainability: We have rolled out changes to minimize the number of entries stored in the recent changes tables of Wikipedia and co that are edits coming from Wikidata. This also reduces the number of changes from Wikidata you will see showing up in Recent changes and watchlist on Wikipedia and co further.
MCP for Wikidata: We are getting it ready for first testing.
Dumps: We are continuing to investigate how to provide smaller/subset dumps.
Mobile statement editing: We are continuing the work on making statements editable, especially qualifiers and multiple references.
Anubis (Q134301689) anti-bot software was deployed on Wikibase Cloud and XTools to prevent site outages caused by bot traffic. (T399851, T400229)

Actualités techniques n° 2025-38

Dernier commentaire : il y a 1 an1 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

Les listes de références qui sont faites en utilisant le tag <references/> seront maintenant affichées automatiquement avec colonnes en Vector 2022 si les lecteurs utilisent les réglages par défaut pour la taille du texte et la largeur de la page.
À partir de la semaine du 6 octobre, sur les petits wikis et wikis de taille moyenne qui ont l'extension CampaignEvents activée, tous les utilisateurs autoconfirmés pourront utiliser l'inscription aux événements en tant qu'organisateur. Aucun changement ne sera fait pour les grands wikis sauf demande sur Phabricator. Ce changement est fait pour rendre l'utilisation de l'inscription aux événements plus facile pour plus de personnes, surtout sur des wikis qui n'ont probablement pas de règles en rapport au droit d'organisateur d'évènements. Plus d'informations.
Les utilisateurs qui recherchent en utilisant des expressions rationnelles (regex) peuvent désormais utiliser des fonctionnalités supplémentaires, notamment :
- pour le mot-clé intitle: : des métacaractères pour le début de ligne (^) et la fin de ligne ($)
- pour les mots-clés intitle: et insource: : des raccourcis pour les classes de caractères des numéros (\d), des caractères vides (\s) ou de mots (\w) et des séquence d'échappement pour le retour chariot (\r), nouvelle ligne (\n), tabulation (\t) et les caractères Unicode (\uHHHH).
Lorsque vous recherchez un texte qui ressemble à une adresse IP, le système affiche maintenant les résultats de recherche. Par le passé, vous étiez automatiquement redirigé vers les contributions de cette adresse IP.
Tous les wikis seront mis en lecture seule pendant quelques minutes le 24 septembre, à 15:00 UTC. Ceci est dû aux tests de changement de serveur de centre de données qui ont lieu deux fois par an. Vous pouvez en apprendre plus sur le pourquoi et les détails de ce processus sur le blog Diff.
Voir les 24 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un bug a été corrigé qui affectait les utilisateurs qui utilisent les onglets de page pour passer de la modification du wikitexte d'une section vers l'éditeur visuel.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

L'équipe de l'interface Mediawiki est en train de remanier le bac à sable de l'API REST Wikimedia avec Codex. Si vous avez des retours sur des améliorations pour la documentation de l'API ou ce qui rend les expériences de développeurs faciles (ou difficiles), vous êtes invités à rejoindre une future interview de découverte, ou laisser ce retour sur le wiki. En apprendre plus.
Les modifications des alias de Wikidata (un nom alternatif pour un élément ou une propriété) seront désormais affichées moins souvent dans les entrées des changements récents et de la liste de suivi sur d'autres wikis, réduisant ainsi les notifications inutiles. Cela réduira la quantité globale d'entrées « bruyantes ». Les propres pages de Wikidata restent inchangées. En savoir plus.
La nouvelle version Unicode 17.0 a été publiée. Les ensembles de données sur Commons pour le Module:Unicode data ont été mises à jour. Les Wikipédias qui n'utilisent pas les ensembles de données Commons devraient soit mettre à jour leurs propres données, soit passer aux ensembles de données Commons.
Les utilisateurs des points de terminaison des Contenus Structurés de Wikimedia Enterprise peuvent désormais accéder aux Tables analysées. La nouvelle fonctionnalité des Tables analysées extrait et représente les tableaux Wikipédia en JSON structuré. Ceci améliore l'accessibilité machine dans le cadre de l'initiative Contenus Structurés. Les sorties des Contenus Structurés sont disponibles gratuitement via l'API à la demande ou par le biais des Services Cloud Wikimedia.
Un jeu de données d'informations biographiques de Wikipédia en anglais provenant de Wikimedia Enterprise a été publié sur Kaggle, pour évaluation et recherche. Cela fournit des données structurées issus de plus de 1,5 million de biographies, y compris les dates de naissance et de décès, l'éducation, les affiliations, les carrières, les récompenses, et plus encore (à partir d'une capture instantanée de juin 2024).
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Rencontres et évènements

Les demandes de bourse pour Wikimania 2026 à Paris, France, sont ouvertes jusqu'au 31 octobre.

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

En date du 24 septembre à 15h00 UTC, tous les utilisateurs des sites Wikimedia seront brièvement en lecture seule en raison d'un basculement du serveur du centre de données. L'équipe d'ingénierie de la fiabilité des sites (SRE) de la Fondation Wikimedia redirigera tout le trafic d'un serveur principal vers son serveur de secours. Vous pouvez écouter le basculement grâce à l'outil « Écouter Wikipédia », où vous entendrez les modifications s'arrêter quelques minutes pendant la phase de lecture seule, puis reprendre. Ce basculement biannuel du serveur du centre de données garantit la fiabilité en testant le centre de données de secours, afin que nos sites puissent rester en ligne même en cas de panne du centre de données principal. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur le processus sur le blog Diff.

Actualités pour la contribution

Les éditeurs de 60 autres Wiktionnaires pourront bientôt appeler des fonctions de Wikifunctions et les intégrer à leurs pages. Une fonction prend une ou plusieurs entrées et les transforme en une sortie souhaitée, comme additionner des nombres, convertir des milles en mètres, calculer le temps écoulé ou décliner un mot en cas. Elles rejoindront les 65 autres éditions linguistiques du Wiktionnaire, qui ont déjà accès aux appels Wikifunctions intégrés. Plus tard cette année, il est prévu d'étendre cette fonctionnalité à d'autres Wiktionnaires et à l'Incubateur.
Une nouvelle fonction d'analyse a été ajoutée : {{#contentmodel}}. Les éditeurs de modèles et les administrateurs peuvent l'utiliser pour obtenir le nom localisé ou canonique du modèle de contenu d'une page spécifique. Cette fonction facilite la création et la modification des messages système, comme MediaWiki:editinginterface, même lorsque vous changez de type de page, comme wiki, JavaScript, CSS ou JSON.
L'ajout ou la modification d'un DISPLAYTITLE pour un article avec l'Éditeur Visuel ne sera plus problématique. Les rédacteurs utilisant l'Éditeur Visuel pour modifier le {{DISPLAYTITLE}} ne verront plus le texte littéral « DISPLAYTITLE » ni sa variante localisée ajoutés à leurs articles.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-40

Dernier commentaire : il y a 11 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

Une mise à jour majeure du logiciel a été effectuée sur Phabricator. La mise à jour introduit des améliorations de performance, un rafraichissement de l’interface de recherche, des améliorations de la recherche de tâches Maniphest, des mises à jour des pages de profil utilisateur et des tableaux de projets, de nouvelles fonctionnalités d’automatisation Herald, ainsi que des améliorations générales de saisie de texte, de l'expérience mobile et bien plus encore.

Actualités pour la contribution

L’équipe Technologies communautaires lancera la nouvelle extension Community Wishlist (les « Souhaits de la communauté ») le 1^er octobre, qui améliorera la façon dont les souhaits seront soumis. La nouvelle extension permettra aux utilisateurs d’ajouter des étiquettes à leurs souhaits afin de mieux les catégoriser, et (dans une prochaine version) de les filtrer par statut, étiquette et domaines d’intérêt. Il sera également à nouveau possible de soutenir des souhaits individuellement, comme demandé par la communauté à de nombreuses reprises. L’ancien système sera retiré. Il y aura une brève période d’indisponibilité pendant le déploiement de l’extension et la migration des souhaits vers le nouveau système. Vous pouvez en savoir plus à ce sujet dans la dernière note d’actualités ou consulter la documentation actuelle sur MediaWiki.org.
Comme annoncé sur le blog Diff, l’essai en production du service hCaptcha pour la détection des robots a commencé. L’essai utilise actuellement hCaptcha pour protéger la création de compte sur les Wikipédia en chinois, perse, portugais, indonésien, japonais et turc, où il remplacera notre CAPTCHA existant (FancyCaptcha). L’objectif de cet essai est de mieux bloquer les robots tout en améliorant la convivialité et l’accessibilité pour les utilisateurs qui rencontrent des difficultés avec les CAPTCHA.
L’extension CampaignEvents a été déployée sur Wikimedia Commons. Cette extension facilite l’organisation et la participation à des activités collaboratives, comme des contribuathons et des projets, sur les wikis. Sur Commons, n’importe quelle personne enregistrée peut l’utiliser comme participante à un événement. Pour l’utiliser pour organiser un événement, il faut demander un droit spécifique.
Les sous-références, une nouvelle fonctionnalité permettant de réutiliser des références avec des détails différents, a été lancée sur Wikipédia en allemand. Vous pouvez tester cette fonctionnalité sur Testwiki ou sur Betawiki. N’hésitez pas à partager vos remarques sur l’utilisation des modèles dans les sous-références ou à vous porter volontaire pour devenir un wiki pilote.
Sur les wikis utilisant le système de Mentorat, les communautés peuvent à présent exclure les personnes expérimentées du mentorat en utilisant Spécial:Configuration communautaire/Mentorship. Dans cette configuration, les communautés peuvent définir des niveaux, basés sur le compteur de contributions et l’âge du compte, pour décider si une personne est considérée comme suffisamment expérimentée pour ne plus recevoir de soutien par le mentorat.
L'équipe Contribution et l’équipe Apprentissage automatique travaillent actuellement sur un nouveau contrôle destiné aux novices : la vérification du style. À l’aide d'un modèle prédictif, ce contrôle encouragera les contributeurs à améliorer la tonalité de leurs modifications grâce à l’intelligence artificielle. Nous invitons les bénévoles à examiner la première version du modèle linguistique de ton pour les langues suivantes : arabe, tchèque, allemand, hébreu, indonésien, néerlandais, polonais, russe, turc, chinois, farsi, italien, norvégien, roumain et letton. Les utilisateurs de ces wikis intéressés par l’examen de ce modèle sont invités à s’inscrire sur MediaWiki.org. La date limite d’inscription est fixée au 3 octobre, date à laquelle débutera le test.
La sortie des multiblocages a entrainé l’affichage inopiné de certains journais de blocage inactifs sur Spécial:Contributions et sur les pages utilisateur et de discussion des utilisateurs bloqués. Ce problème sera complètement résolu d’ici quelques jours. Avec ce correctif, les messages préfixées par sp-contributions-blocked-notice seront retirés et remplacés par ceux préfixés par blocked-notice-logextract dans quelques semaines. Vous pouvez aider à traduire les nouveaux messages et à mettre à jour les écrasements locaux si besoin.
Il y a eu un beugue avec les liens ajoutés depuis l’éditeur visuel quand ils contenaient des caractères tel que [ ] | après le marqueur de fragment (#). Ils n’étaient pas encodés correctement, ce qui créait des liens erronés. Cela a été corrigé.
Un nouveau wiki a été créé : une Wikiquote en malais (q:ms:)
Voir les 21 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, la fiche d’informations utilisateur affiche désormais les verrouillages et blocages globaux actuellement actifs.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

À partir de cette semaine, les contributeurs utilisant des modules Lua pourront utiliser la fonction mw.title.newBatch pour rechercher l’existence de 25 pages en une seule fois, d’une manière qui ne comptera que pour un seul appel de fonction couteuse.
Un nouveau groupe de travail sur les outils non pris en charge s’est créé dans le cadre du travail en cours pour déterminer collectivement les priorités techniques, similaire au conseil consultatif des Produits et Technologies (PTAC). Le groupe de travail aidera à prioriser et à examiner les demandes de maintenance pour les extensions, gadgets, robots et outils non maintenus. Pour le premier cycle, le groupe priorisera un outil non pris en charge de Wikimedia Commons.

Dernier commentaire : il y a 11 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

Paste Check est une nouvelle fonctionnalité de vérification des modifications destinée à prévenir et à lutter contre les violations de droits d'auteur. Lorsque les contributeurs collent du texte dans un article, Paste Check les invite à confirmer l'origine et la licence du contenu. À partir du mercredi 8 octobre, 22 wikis testeront Paste Check. Paste Check aidera les nouveaux bénévoles à comprendre et à respecter les politiques et les directives nécessaires pour contribuer de manière constructive aux projets Wikipédia.

Actualités pour la contribution

Les appareils mobiles recevront les articles mobiles directement sur le domaine standard (par exemple, en.wikipedia.org), au lieu d'une redirection vers un domaine "m" (par exemple, en.m.wikipedia.org). Ce changement améliore les performances. Il sera activé cette semaine sur Wikipédia. Les URL mobiles existantes et la désactivation de l'affichage "Bureau" restent disponibles. En savoir plus.
Les nouveaux filtres de date, creationdate: et lasteditdate: sont désormais disponibles dans le moteur de recherche du wiki. Ils permettent aux utilisateurs de filtrer les résultats de recherche par date de première ou de dernière révision d'une page. Ces filtres prennent en charge les opérateurs de comparaison (par exemple, >2024) et les dates relatives (par exemple, today-1d), facilitant ainsi la recherche de contenu ou de pages récemment mis à jour dans des tranches d'âge spécifiques.
Wikifunctions prend désormais en charge le texte enrichi dans les appels intégrés sur les 150 wikis où il est activé. Pour illustrer cela, l'équipe a créé un tableau de déclinaison latine que les éditeurs du Wiktionnaire peuvent utiliser pour générer automatiquement les formes nominales, produisant ainsi des résultats clairs et formatés ; voir un exemple de résultat. Pour toute aide ou commentaire, veuillez contacter l'équipe Wikifunctions.
Un lien d'édition apparaîtra désormais à l'intérieur de la zone de catégories sur les pages d'articles pour les utilisateurs connectés, ce qui lancera directement la boîte de dialogue de catégorie VisualEditor.
Voir les 34 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, il y a eu un problème lors du téléchargement des fichiers PDF la semaine dernière et cela a été résolu.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Le champ rev_sha1 dans la table de révision de la base de données est supprimé au profit du champ content_sha1 dans la table de contenu de la base de données. Voir l'annonce pour plus d'informations.
L'équipe Expérience de lecture déploiera l'interface utilisateur du Mode sombre sur tous les sites Wikimedia le 29 octobre 2025. Tous les utilisateurs anonymes des sites Wikimedia auront la possibilité d'activer un jeu de couleurs avec du texte clair sur fond sombre. Ce système vise à améliorer le confort de lecture, notamment en basse lumière. Les auteurs de modèles et les contributeurs techniques sont encouragés à apprendre à préparer leurs pages pour le mode sombre et à résoudre tout problème de compatibilité rencontré avec les modèles de leur wiki avant l'activation. Pour toute question ou assistance, veuillez contacter l'équipe Web sur cette page de discussion avant l'activation.
À compter du lundi 6 octobre, les points de terminaison d'API du chemin rest.php seront redirigés vers une nouvelle passerelle d'API interne. Les wikis individuels seront mis à jour en fonction des groupes de versions standard, avec un trafic total en constante augmentation. Ce changement devrait être sans rupture ni perturbation. Si des problèmes sont observés, veuillez déposer un ticket Phabricator auprès du tableau de bord de l'équipe Service Ops.

Wikidata integration on Wikipedia and co:
- We finished work on adding an icon to changes coming from Wikidata in recent changes and watchlist (phab:T397258)
- We are finishing work on a new usage aspect for qualifiers and references so their use can be tracked separately. This will lead to less Wikidata changes showing up in recent changes and watchlist that don't actually affect the article (phab:T397258)
- We are continuing the work on improving Databox (phab:T400322)
GraphQL: We are continuing to work on making labels of linked entities in the values of statements accessible (phab:T404692)
Mobile statement editing: We have been working on showing the different value types (phab:T404684) and making references editable (phab:T405236)

Dernier commentaire : il y a 11 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 semaine dernière, des améliorations dans les fonctionnalités de sécurité des comptes et d’authentification à deux facteurs (A2F) ont été activées sur tous les wikis. Ces changements comprenaient des améliorations dans l’interface utilisateur de Spécial:AccountSecurity, la prise en charge de plusieurs méthodes d’A2F via des applis d’authentification et des clés de sécurité portables (auparavant, les utilisateurs et utilisatrices ne pouvaient activer qu’une seule méthode) et un nouveau module de codes de récupération qui limite le blocage de comptes en raison de la perte des applis ou appareils d’authentification. Dans le cadre du projet Sécurité des comptes, le travail continue durant cette fin d’année 2025 sur des d’autres améliorations de l’exéprience utilisateur et la prise en charge de clés de passe comme solution d’authentification alternative.

Actualités pour la contribution

Une autre partie du projet Sécurité des comptes est de rendre l’A2F disponible pour tous les utilisateurs et utilisatrices. Comme les personnes ayant des privilèges avancés (tels que les admins et bureaucrates), 40 % des contributeurs et contributrices ont désormais accès à l’A2F. Vous pouvez vérifier si vous y avez accès sur Spécial:AccountSecurity. Les instructions pour l’activer sont sur cette page. Le projet est de continuer à augmenter sa disponibilité s’il est déterminé que les capacités d’assistance aux utilisateurs sont suffisantes pour assister l’intégralité de la communauté.
Cette semaine, les utilisateurs et utilisatrices sur les wikis où les améliorations d’ergonomie sont activées par défaut sur les pages de discussions (c’est-à-dire partout sauf les 12 wikis listés sur la tâche T379 264 de Phabricator) pourront remercier quelqu’un pour son message directement depuis la page de discussion où celui-ci apparait. Auparavant, il fallait visiter l’historique de la page de discussion pour remercier quelqu’un. En savoir plus sur ce changement.
Les utilisateurs et utilisatrices qui n’ont pas vérifié leur adresse électronique recevront bientôt une notification mensuelle pour leur rappeler. En effet, avoir vérifié son adresse de courriel permet de récupérer son compte plus facilement. Ces rappels ne seront pas envoyés si la personne est inactive ou si elle retire l’adresse non vérifiée de son compte.
Voir les 21 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un correctif d’une erreur occasionnel lors de l’enregistrement d’un paragraphe traduit dans l’outil de traduction de contenu permet désormais de voir plus facilement les messages d’erreurs liés.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Le groupe de travail sur les Outils non pris en charge a choisi Video2Commons comme premier outil pour son cycle pilote. Le groupe étudiera des façons d’améliorer et d’entretenir l’outil durant les prochains mois. En savoir plus sur Méta-Wiki.

Actualités pour la contribution

Pour optimiser la manière dont les données des utilisateurs sont stockées dans nos bases de données, les préférences enregistrées des utilisateurs qui ne se sont pas connectés depuis plus de cinq ans et qui ont moins de 100 modifications seront supprimées. Lorsque ces utilisateurs reviendront, les paramètres par défaut s’appliqueront.
Voir les 20 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, il y avait un lien brisé depuis le message d’interface de GlobalContributions vers la page GlobalContributions de XTools qui a maintenant été corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Le travail de routage de tous le trafic vers les points de terminaison d’API sous la route rest.php à travers une passerelle commune d’API est désormais terminé. Si vous constatez un problème, n’hésitez pas à ouvrir une tâche Phabricator dans le tableau de bord de l’équipe Opé’s de service.
Les modifications aux références et qualificateurs de Wikidata seront désormais moins souvent affichés dans les Modifications récentes et listes de suivi des autres wikis, réduisant les notifications non-nécessaires. Cela réduira la quantité globale d’éléments disparates. Les pages directement sur Wikidata restent inchangées.

Dernier commentaire : il y a 10 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 test A/B/C a été lancé sur l’appli Wikipédia pour iOS concernant les améliorations de navigation par onglet, pour certaines langues et régions. Intitulé « Onglets plus dynamiques », ce test explores de nouvelles expériences d’onglets et inclut les recommandations d’articles « Le saviez-vous » et « Parce que vous avez lu ». Vous trouverez plus d’informations sur la page du projet.
Les utilisateurs autoconfirmés sur les petits et moyens wikis avec l’extension CampaignEvents peuvent désormais utiliser le système d’inscription aux évènements sans avoir le droit d’organisation d’évènement. Cette fonctionnalité laisse les équipes d’organisation activer l’inscription, gérer les participants et permet aux utilisateurs de s’inscrire en un clic au lieu de signer sur les pages des évènements.
Voir les 31 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, le problème des clignotements lors de l’appui sur les flèches du clavier dans les paramètres du mode sombre de Vector 2022 a été corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

L’extension CampaignEvents sera déployé sur tous les wikis restants durant la semaine du 17 novembre 2025. Elle inclut trois fonctionnalités : le système d’inscription aux évènements, la liste de collaboration et la liste d’invitation. Pour ce déploiement, la liste d’invitation ne sera pas activée sur les Wikifonctions et MediaWiki sauf demande contraire de ces communautés. Consultez la page de déploiement pour en savoir plus.
L’expérience de bac à sable REST basée sur SwaggerUI est désormais en ligne sur tous les projets wiki. Le bac à sable est accessible sur la page Spécial:RestSandbox. N’hésitez pas à signaler tout problème sur le tableau de bord de l’équipe des Interfaces de MediaWiki, et à participer aux discussions sur la page de lancement du projet.
Les points de terminaison de transformation avec une barre oblique finale (/) dans l’API REST de MediaWiki sont désormais dépréciés. Ils continueront de fonctionner pour le moment, mais devraient être supprimés d’ici à la fin janvier 206. Tous les utilisateurs et utilisatrices de l’API qui les appellent sont encouragés à transitionner vers les versions sans barre oblique finale. Les deux variantes de ces points de terminaison peuvent être trouvés et testés à l’aide du bac à sable REST. Consultez la page Dépréciation de l’API REST de MediaWiki pour plus de détails sur les règles et procédures de dépréciation dans l’API.
Un journal des changements existe désormais pour l’API REST de MediaWiki. Il fournit un aperçu des changements, facilitant le suivi des améliorations et versions par les développeurs et développeuses. Les annonces continueront sur les canaux classiques de communication, dont les Actualités techniques et les listes de distribution, mais peuvent désormais être plus facilement référencées depuis un endroit centralisateur. Si vous avez des retours à faire sur le style, la structure ou le contenu de ce journal, vous pouvez rejoindre la discussion.
Les admins peuvent supprimer la catégorie de suivi précédemment ajoutée par l’extension JsonConfig, puisqu’elles n’est plus utilisée. Ces catégories sont liées à l’élément Q130 635 582. Il est normal qu’il reste des pages dans cette catégorie en raison du cache : elles seront automatiquement retirées lors de la prochaine modification de chaque page.

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

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.

Tool of the week

User:Difool/WikidataCleanup.js: gadget allowing to do, in one click, a wide series of cleanups in an item: normalize labels, descriptions, and aliases (double spaces, certain Unicode characters), remove weak references, remove weakly referenced dates when they have lower precision than a strongly referenced date and downgrade unnecessary preferred ranks; about the general issue of redundancies in Wikidata, you can check WikiProject Redundancy
Ghanasupremecases is a webapp that dynamically pulls and displays over 2,000 Supreme Court of Ghana cases from Wikidata, allowing users to access case details linked directly to Wikidata items. The goal is to make African legal data more open, structured, and discoverable, and to demonstrate how Wikidata can serve as a foundation for national-level legal archive

Actualités techniques n° 2025-46

Dernier commentaire : il y a 10 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

Exemple d’une page de discussion avec le nouveau design, en français.

À partir du 12 novembre, les utilisateurs verront un changement dans l’apparence des pages de discussion sur certaines Wikipédia. Ce changement de design a déjà été appliqué sur presque tous les wikis ; mais il arrivera plus tard pour la Wikipédia en anglais. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur Diff. Les utilisateurs peuvent choisir de ne pas appliquer ces changements dans leurs préférences utilisateur en décochant « Afficher l’activité de la discussion ».
MediaWiki peut désormais afficher automatiquement un indicateur d’état lorsqu’une page est protégée. Cette fonctionnalité est désactivée par défaut. Elle peut être activée sur demande de la communauté.
L’utilisation des boutons « Prévisualiser » ou « Voir les modifications » dans l’éditeur de wikicode transmettra désormais certains paramètres d’URL tels que useskin, uselang et section. Cette mise à jour corrige également un problème où, si le navigateur plantait lors de l’aperçu des modifications d’une section, enregistrer ces modifications pouvait écraser la page entière avec le contenu de cette seule section.
Les wikis Wikivoyage peuvent utiliser des marqueurs de carte colorés dans le texte de l'article. Le texte de ces marqueurs sera désormais affiché en noir ou blanc contrastant, au lieu d'être toujours blanc. Les solutions locales de contournement du problème peuvent être supprimées.
L'onglet Activité de l'application Wikipedia pour Android est désormais disponible pour tous les utilisateurs. Le nouvel onglet offre des informations personnalisées sur la lecture, la modification et les dons, tout en simplifiant la navigation et en rendant l'utilisation de l'application plus attrayante.
L’équipe de Croissance du lectorat lance une expérimentation appelée « Exploration des images » afin de tester comment faciliter la navigation et la découverte d’images dans les articles de Wikipédia. Cette expérimentation prendra la forme d’un test A/B uniquement sur mobile, sur Wikipédia en anglais la semaine du 17 novembre pendant quatre semaines, affectant 0,05 % des utilisateurs de ce wiki. Le test a été lancé le 3 novembre sur les wikis en arabe, chinois, français, indonésien et vietnamien, affectant jusqu’à 10 % des utilisateurs de ces wikis.
Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, l’impossibilité de verrouiller des comptes depuis les sites mobiles a été corrigée.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les mises en candidatures sont ouvertes sur Wikitech pour désigner de nouveaux membres au comité des normes de Toolforge. Le comité supervise notamment le règlement du droit à la création de fork et le règlement des outils abandonnés de Toolforge. Les mises en candidatures sont possibles jusqu’au 28 novembre 2025.
Le champ émetteur JWT dans les jetons d’accès OAuth 2 pour les wikis SUL a été changé, il contient maintenant https://meta.wikimedia.org. Les anciens jetons d’accès continueront de fonctionner.
Le champ sujet du JWT dans les jetons d'accès OAuth 2 changera bientôt de <user id> à mw:<identity type>:<user id>, où <identity type> est généralement CentralAuth: (pour les wikis SUL) ou local:<wiki id> (pour les autres wikis). Cela vise à éviter les conflits entre différents types d’identifiants utilisateur et à rendre les jetons d’accès OAuth 2 plus similaires au cookie sessionJwt. Les anciens jetons d’accès continueront de fonctionner.
Les messages de blocage de MediaWiki (blockedtext, blockedtext-partial, autoblockedtext, systemblockedtext, blockedtext-tempuser, autoblockedtext-tempuser) prennent désormais en charge des paramètres supplémentaires pour indiquer si l’utilisateur est bloqué pour modifier sa propre page de discussion ($9) ou pour envoyer des courriels à d’autres utilisateurs ($10).
Une branche REL1_45 pour le noyau MediaWiki et chacune des extensions et habillages dans le git de Wikimedia a été créée. Il s’agit de la première étape du processus de publication de MediaWiki 1.45.0, prévue pour fin novembre 2025. Si vous travaillez sur une correction de bogue critique ou sur une nouvelle fonctionnalité, vous devrez peut-être prendre note de cette information.
Le processus de génération des copies mémoire (dumps) de CirrusSearch a été mis à jour en raison d’une baisse de performance. Si vous rencontrez des problèmes lors de la migration vers les copies de remplacement, vous pouvez contacter l’équipe Plateforme de recherche pour obtenir de l’aide.

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 semaine dernière, l'équipe de recherche de Wikimedia a recréé côté serveur la fonctionnalité « DWIM » (Do What I Mean - Faites ce que je pense) pour les Wikipedias russe et hébraïque. Cette fonctionnalité ajoute des suggestions de saisie au clavier aux suggestions du champ de recherche standard. Par exemple, la recherche de « cxfcnmt » sur Wikipédia russe suggérera désormais « счастье » (« bonheur »), ce que l'utilisateur avait probablement en tête. L'équipe prévoit d'activer cette fonctionnalité pour les autres wikis russes et hébraïques cette semaine.
Plus tard cette semaine, les utilisateurs de la fonctionnalité bêta ⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽ bénéficieront de la coloration syntaxique dans DiscussionTools. Pour cela, la préférence Activer les outils de modification en mode source doit être activée.
L'extension Événements de campagne, un ensemble d'outils permettant de coordonner des événements et autres collaborations sur le wiki, est désormais disponible sur tous les wikis Wikimedia. Une nouvelle fonctionnalité, Contributions collaboratives, a également été ajoutée pour aider les organisateurs et les participants à visualiser l'impact des activités. Participez à la prochaine Session d'apprentissage pour découvrir cette nouvelle fonctionnalité et nous faire part de vos commentaires.
Voir les 24 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, le bug qui empêchait CodeReviewBot de fonctionner a maintenant été corrigé.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Les utilisateurs de l'API Wikimedia peuvent participer à une étude d'utilisabilité afin de valider la nouvelle conception des environnements de test de l'API REST de Wikimedia. Les participants intéressés sont invités à remplir le questionnaire de recrutement (en anglais).
L'équipe Interfaces de MediaWiki abandonne la prise en charge des feuilles de style XSLT dans l'Action API. La prise en charge de format=xml&xlst={stylesheet} sera supprimée des projets Wikimedia d'ici fin novembre 2025. De plus, elle sera bientôt désactivée par défaut dans les versions 1.43 (LTS), 1.44 et 1.45 de MediaWiki. La prise en charge des feuilles de style XSLT sera entièrement supprimée de la version 1.46 de MediaWiki (dont la sortie est prévue entre avril et mai 2026).
Le point d'accès WDQS hérité (query-legacy-full.wikidata.org) sera mis hors service fin décembre 2025, puis définitivement fermé le 7 janvier 2026. Après cette date, les requêtes adressées à query.wikidata.org nécessitant le graphe complet échoueront ou renverront des résultats invalides si elles ne sont pas réécrites pour utiliser la fédération SPARQL. L'équipe encourage les utilisateurs à s'assurer que leurs outils et flux de travail utilisent les points d'accès WDQS compatibles (https://query.wikidata.org/ - graph principal ou https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org/ - graph scientifique).

Dernier commentaire : il y a 9 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 Wikipedia Year in Review 2025 will be available on December 2 for users of iOS and Android Wikipedia apps, featuring new personalized insights, updated reading highlights, and refreshed designs. Learn more on the review's project page.
The Growth team is working on improving the text and presentation of the Verification Email sent to new users to make them more welcoming, useful and informative. Some new text have been drafted for A/B testing and you can help by translating them. See Phabricator.
Add a link will now be deployed at Japanese, Urdu and Chinese Wikipedias on December 2. Add a link is based on a prediction model that suggests links to be added to articles. While this feature has already been available on most Wikipedias, the prediction model could not support certain languages. A new model has now been developed to handle these languages, and it will be gradually rolled out to other Wikipedias over time. If you would like to know more, please contact Trizek (WMF).
View all 34 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue where search boxes on some Commons pages showed no results due to switch from SpecialSearch to MediaSearch, has now been fixed.
Two new wikis have been created:
- a Wikipédia in Toki Pona (w:tok:)
- a Wikiquote in Nigerian Pidgin (q:pcm:)

Updates for technical contributors

Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

The Wikimedia Foundation is in the early stages of exploring approaches to Article guidance. The initiative aims to identify interventions that could help new editors easily understand and apply existing Wikipedia practices and policies when creating an article. The project is in the exploration and early experimental design phase. All community members are encouraged to learn more about the project, and share their thoughts on the talk page.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-50

Dernier commentaire : il y a 9 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

Anybody who wishes to secure their user account can now use two-factor authentication (2FA). This is available to all registered users of all Wikimedia projects. This is part of the Account Security initiative. Later, 2FA will be required for all users who can take security- or privacy-sensitive actions.

Actualités pour la contribution

Suite aux déploiements de la semaine dernière, la fonctionnalité Ajouter un lien, qui permet aux rédacteurs de suggérer des liens lors de l’édition, sera disponible sur 33 Wikipédias supplémentaires à partir du 9 décembre. Cette expansion est rendue possible grâce au nouveau modèle de prédiction qui prend désormais en charge toutes les langues, y compris celles qui n’étaient pas couvertes précédemment. Bien que la fonctionnalité soit disponible sur la plupart des Wikipédias depuis un certain temps, ce déploiement nous rapproche de l’utilisation du modèle amélioré partout. Si vous avez des questions ou souhaitez plus de détails, veuillez contacter Trizek (WMF).
La semaine dernière, l'équipe de recherche Wikimedia a ajouté des suggestions de recherche translittérées en temps réel aux wikis géorgiens. S'il n'y a que quelques suggestions de recherche habituelles, alors les requêtes en script latin ou cyrillique sont maintenant réécrites en script géorgien pour trouver plus de correspondances. Par exemple, la recherche de bedniereba ou бедниереба suggérera désormais l'article existant sur ბედნიერება ("bonheur"). Vous pouvez recommander d'autres langues où les suggestions translittérées pourraient être utiles sur Phabricator pour un développement futur.
Later this week, a controlled experiment will begin for editors on the 100 largest Wikipedias who are editing a section in the mobile web visual editor. 50% of these editors will notice a new "Edit full page" button that will enable them to expand their editing session to the whole page. This feature is intended to make it easier for people on mobile web to edit any article section, regardless of which section-edit icon they tapped to begin. The experiment will last ~4 weeks. You can find more details about the project.
Later this week, the Reader Growth team will launch a mobile web experiment to expand all article sections by default (currently they are collapsed by default) and pin the section header the user is currently reading to the top of the page. The experiment will affect 10% of users on Arabic, Chinese, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias.
The Wikipedia Year in Review 2025, a feature in the Wikipedia mobile apps (iOS and Android) that provides users with a personalised summary of their engagement with Wikipedia over the year, is now available on the iOS and Android apps. This edition includes expanded personalised insights, improved reading highlights, new donor messaging, and updated designs. Open the app to view your Year in Review and explore your reading journey from 2025.
A recent software bug caused edits made with VisualEditor to make unintended changes to wikitext, including removing whitespace and replacing spaces with underscores in wikilinks inside citations. This was partially fixed last week, and further fixes are in progress. Editors who used VisualEditor between November 28 and December 2 should review their edits for unexpected modifications.
Voir les 23 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. For example, the incorrect handling of URLs copied from the address bar of Microsoft Edge users, has been resolved.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Starting this week, users of the "⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽" beta feature will have CodeMirror as the editor for Lua, JavaScript, CSS, JSON and Vue content models, instead of CodeEditor. With this, the linters will be upgraded. This is part of a larger effort to eventually replace CodeEditor and provide a consistent code editing experience.
Developers are encouraged to take the 2025 Developer Satisfaction Survey, which remains open until 5 January 2026. If you build software for the Wikimedia ecosystem and would like to share your experiences or feedback, your participation is greatly appreciated.
Il n’y aura pas de nouvelle version de MediaWiki cette semaine.

Tech News: 2025-51

Dernier commentaire : il y a 9 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

View all 18 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, one of the fixes addressed an issue for temporary accounts adding an external URL, which triggered an hCaptcha request in more cases than intended, and did not display the required popup on the first attempt to publish the edit.

Updates for technical contributors

To improve database and site performance, external links to Wikimedia projects will no longer be stored in the database. This means they will not be searchable in Spécial:Recherche de lien, will not be checked by the Spam Blacklist or AbuseFilter as new links, and will not be in the externallinks table on database replicas. In the future this may be extended to other highly-linked trusted websites on a per-wiki basis, such as Creative Commons links on Wikimedia Commons.

Tech News: 2025-52

Dernier commentaire : il y a 8 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

From January, edit filters can be set to automatically suppress their details such as rules and list of attempted edits and actions. This will help oversighters use edit filters to prevent doxxing or other suppressible material.
The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 12 January 2026 because of the end of year holidays. Thank you to all of the translators, and people who submitted content or feedback, this year.
View all 16 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the crash that occurred when tapping "First Steps" in the Wikipedia Android Year in Review has now been fixed, and the feature opens as expected.

Updates for technical contributors

Interface elements such as diffs and categories generated by MediaWiki used to have the attribute data-mw="interface" to distinguish from wiki content. The attribute has been replaced with data-mw-interface="", to avoid potential conflicts with other data-mw attributes, which are generated by Parsoid.
There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.

Meetings and events

The Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026 will take place on 13-14 March 2026 in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Applications just opened mid-December and will close in mid-January or earlier if capacity is reached. With space for approximately 100 participants, early application is encouraged.

Tech News: 2026-04

Dernier commentaire : il y a 8 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 tray shown on Special:Diff in mobile view has been redesigned. It is now collapsed by default, and incorporates a link to undo the edit being viewed, making it easier for mobile editors and reviewers to take action while keeping the interface uncluttered.
The Global Watchlist lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The extension continues to improve — it now automatically determines the text direction (ensuring correct display of sites with unusual domain names) and shows detailed descriptions for log actions. Later this week, a new permanent link for page creations and CSS classes for each entry element will be added.
View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the previously observed issue in Vector 2022, where anchor link targets were obscured by the sticky header, has now been addressed.

Updates for technical contributors

As mentioned in the October 2025 deprecation announcement, MediaWiki Interfaces team will begin sunsetting all transform endpoints containing a trailing slash from the MediaWiki REST API the week of January 26. Changes are expected to roll out to all wikis on or before January 30th. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found, compared, and tested using the REST Sandbox. If you have questions or encounter any problems, please file a ticket in Phabricator to the #MW-Interfaces-Team board.
Interactive reference documentation for the Wikimedia REST API has moved. Requests to API docs previously hosted through RESTBase (e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/) are now redirected to the REST Sandbox.
The WMF Wikidata Platform team (WDP) has published its January 2026 newsletter. It includes updates on the legacy full-graph endpoint decommissioning, the User-Agent policy change, the monthly Blazegraph migration office hours, and efforts to reduce regressions caused by the legacy endpoint shutdown. As a reminder, you can subscribe to the WDP newsletter!
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

The Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026 will take place on 13-14 March 2026 in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Applications opened mid-December and will close soon or when capacity is reached. It's a two-day, technically oriented hackathon bringing together Wikimedians from the region. Hope to see you there!

Actualités techniques n° 2026-05

Dernier commentaire : il y a 7 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

La Fondation Wikimedia invite à donner des commentaires sur l’avenir proposé du Conseil consultatif des produits et technologies jusqu’au 28 février.
Tous les utilisateurs disposant d'un compte enregistré peuvent désormais utiliser des clés d'accès pour la double authentification (2FA). Les clés d'accès sont un moyen simple de se connecter sans utiliser un second appareil. Elles vérifient l'identité de l'utilisateur à l'aide d'une empreinte digitale, d'une reconnaissance faciale ou d'un code PIN. Pour configurer une clé d'accès, configurez d'abord une méthode 2FA classique. Actuellement, pour se connecter avec une clé d'accès, les utilisateurs doivent également utiliser un mot de passe. Plus tard ce trimestre, la connexion sans mot de passe permettra aux utilisateurs de se connecter d'un simple clic avec une clé d'accès. Les utilisateurs disposant de droits avancés devront également avoir la 2FA activée. Cela fait partie du projet Sécurité du compte.
Les contributeurs non enregistrés sur des IP bloquées ou des plages d'IP bloquées peuvent désormais interagir sur le wiki pour faire appel d'un blocage en créant un compte temporaire afin de contester un blocage sur la page de discussion de l'utilisateur, sauf si l'option « empêcher cet utilisateur de modifier sa propre page de discussion » est activée. Cela résout le problème des utilisateurs déconnectés incapables d'utiliser le processus de déblocage par défaut via la page de discussion de l'utilisateur.
Voir les 20 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, la description des méthodes d'authentification à deux facteurs (2FA) sur la page de gestion a été mise à jour. Il est désormais plus clair et plus facile pour les utilisateurs à comprendre et à utiliser.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Une nouvelle variable AbuseFilter, account_type, a été ajoutée pour fournir un moyen fiable de déterminer le type de compte créé dans les actions createaccount et autocreateaccount. Dans le cadre de ce changement, la variable accountname a été renommée en account_name, et accountname est désormais obsolète. Les gestionnaires de filtres doivent mettre à jour tous les filtres qui utilisent des vérifications de type de compte codées en dur ou la variable obsolète.
Les vignettes d'images demandées dans des tailles non standard, et en utilisant des méthodes non standard telles que les requêtes directes à upload.wikimedia.org/…, cesseront de fonctionner dans un proche avenir. Ce changement vise à prévenir les abus externes continus par des robots et des aspirateurs web. Certains utilisateurs ayant des CSS/JS personnalisés, les administrateurs d'interface qui peuvent corriger les gadgets et les thèmes locaux, ainsi que les auteurs d'outils, devront mettre à jour leur code pour utiliser des tailles de vignettes standard. Des détails, des liens de recherche et des exemples de correction sont disponibles dans la tâche.

Tech News: 2026-06

Dernier commentaire : il y a 7 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 "Informations sur la page" feature, which gives validating information about a page (example), now automatically includes a table of contents. If there is a local MediaWiki:Pageinfo-header page created by individual users, it can now be removed.
View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, VisualEditor previously added bold or italic formatting inside link descriptions, making the wikicode complex. This has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

There was no XML dump on 20 January. Additionally, from now on, dumps will be generated once per month only.
The MediaWiki Interfaces team removed support for all transform endpoints containing a trailing slash from the MediaWiki REST API. All API users currently calling those endpoints are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. If you have questions or encounter any problems, please file a ticket in phabricator to the #MW-Interfaces-Team board.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Weekly highlight

Users are reminded that the Wikimedia Foundation has shared some guiding questions for the July 2026–June 2027 Annual Plan on Meta and Diff. These focus on global trends, faster and healthier experimentation, better support for newcomers, strengthening editors and advanced users, improving collaboration across projects, and growing and retaining readership. Feedback and ideas are welcome on the talk page.

Actualités techniques n° 2026-07

Dernier commentaire : il y a 7 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

Les contributeurs connectés qui gèrent de grandes ou complexes listes de suivi peuvent désormais organiser et filtrer les pages surveillées de manière à améliorer leurs flux de travail grâce à la nouvelle fonctionnalité Étiquettes de liste de suivi. En ajoutant des étiquettes personnalisées (par exemple : pages que vous avez créées, pages surveillées pour vandalisme, ou pages de discussion), les utilisateurs peuvent identifier plus rapidement ce qui nécessite une attention, réduire la charge cognitive et répondre plus efficacement. Cela améliore l'utilisabilité de la liste de suivi, en particulier pour les éditeurs très actifs.
Une nouvelle fonctionnalité disponible sur Special:Contributions montre des comptes temporaires qui sont probablement utilisés par la même personne, et rend ainsi le patrouillage moins chronophage. En vérifiant les contributions d'un compte temporaire, les utilisateurs ayant accès aux adresses IP des comptes temporaires peuvent désormais avoir une vue des contributions des comptes temporaires associés. La fonctionnalité recherche toutes les adresses IP associées à un compte temporaire donné pendant la période de conservation des données et affiche toutes les contributions de tous les comptes temporaires ayant utilisé ces adresses IP. Plus...
Lorsque les éditeurs prévisualisent une modification de wikitexte, la boîte de rappel indiquant qu'ils ne voient qu'une prévisualisation (qui est affichée en haut) a désormais un fond gris/neutre au lieu d'un fond jaune/d'avertissement. Cela facilite la distinction entre les notes de prévisualisation et les avertissements réels (par exemple, les conflits de modification ou les cibles de redirection problématiques), qui seront désormais affichés dans des boîtes d'avertissement ou d'erreur séparées.
La Liste de suivi globale vous permet de consulter vos listes de suivi provenant de plusieurs wikis sur une seule page. L' extension continue de s'améliorer — elle prend désormais en charge correctement plus d'un site Wikibase, par exemple à la fois Wikidata et testwikidata. De plus, des problèmes concernant la direction du texte ont été résolus pour les utilisateurs qui préfèrent Wikidata ou d'autres sites Wikibase dans des langues de droite à gauche (RTL).
The automatic "magic links" for ISBN, RFC, and PMID numbers have been deprecated in wikitext since 2021 due to inflexibility and difficulties with localization. Several wikis have successfully replaced RFC and PMID magic links with equivalent external links, but a template was often required to replace the functionality of the ISBN magic link. There is now a new built-in parser function {{#isbn}} available to replace the basic functionality of the ISBN magic link. This makes it easier for wikis who wish to migrate off of the deprecated magic link functionality to do so.
Deux nouveaux wikis ont été créés :
- un Wikipédia dans Jju (w:kaj:)
- un Wikipédia dans Nawat (w:ppl:)
Voir les 23 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Un nouveau groupe d'utilisateurs global a été créé : Bots locaux. Il sera utilisé en interne par le logiciel pour permettre aux robots communautaires de contourner les limites de débit appliquées aux web scrapers abusifs. Les comptes approuvés en tant que robots sur au moins un wiki Wikimedia seront automatiquement ajoutés à ce groupe. Cela ne changera pas les autorisations dont dispose le robot.

Upcoming events: Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group session 17 February, 2026: We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Session on Tuesday, February 17 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone converter). Wikiproject P244 maintenance uses SPARQL queries to identify and resolve two types of constraint violations in Wikidata: instances of Wikidata items with more than one LCNAF identifier and instances of the same LCNAF identifier existing on more than one Wikidata item. The February 17th session will walk participants through how to resolve the former issue, while the March 3rd session will focus on the latter.

Dernier commentaire : il y a 7 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 SRE va procéder au nettoyage d'Etherpad, l'éditeur web open source de documents collaboratifs en temps réel. Tous les blocs-notes seront définitivement supprimés après le 30 avril 2026 – si des projets de migration sont encore en cours à cette date, l'équipe pourra réexaminer la date au cas par cas. Veuillez effectuer des sauvegardes locales de tout contenu que vous souhaitez conserver, car les données supprimées ne pourront pas être récupérées. Ce nettoyage permet de réduire la taille de la base de données et l'empreinte de l'infrastructure. Etherpad continuera de prendre en charge la collaboration en temps réel, mais le stockage à long terme n'est plus assuré. D'autres nettoyages pourront avoir lieu ultérieurement sans préavis.

Actualités pour la contribution

L'équipe de Recherche d'Informations lancera une expérimentation sur l'application mobile Android, afin de tester des fonctionnalités de recherche hybrides capables de gérer à la fois les requêtes sémantiques et par mots-clés. L'amélioration de la recherche sur la plateforme permettra aux lecteurs de trouver plus facilement ce qu'ils cherchent, directement sur Wikipédia. L'expérimentation sera d'abord lancée sur Wikipédia en grec fin février, puis sur les versions anglaise, française et portugaise en mars. En savoir plus sur le blog Diff.
L'équipe « Croissance des lecteurs » mènera une expérience auprès des utilisateurs de la version mobile du site web qui ajoute une table des matières et développe automatiquement toutes les sections des articles, afin de mieux comprendre les problèmes de navigation qu'ils rencontrent. Le test sera disponible sur les versions arabe, chinoise, anglaise, française, indonésienne et vietnamienne de Wikipedia.
Auparavant, les notifications (MediaWiki:Sitenotice et MediaWiki:Anonnotice) du site ne s'affichaient que sur la version ordinateur. Maintenant, elles s'afficheront désormais sur toutes les plateformes. Les utilisateurs mobiles verront ces notifications. Les administrateurs du site doivent être prêts à tester et à corriger les notifications sur les appareils mobiles afin d'éviter toute interférence avec les articles. Pour désactiver ces notifications, les administrateurs d'interface peuvent ajouter #siteNotice { display: none; } à MediaWiki:Minerva.css.
Voir les 19 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un problème concernant la section Spécial:Modifications récentes a été résolu. Auparavant, cliquer sur « Masquer » dans les filtres actifs entraînait la disparition du bouton « Afficher les nouvelles modifications depuis… », alors qu'il aurait dû rester visible. Ce bouton fonctionne désormais correctement.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Une nouvelle documentation est désormais disponible pour aider les rédacteurs à déboguer les fonctionnalités de recherche interne. Elle facilite le dépannage lorsque des pages n'apparaissent pas dans les résultats, lorsque le classement semble inattendu et lorsqu'il est nécessaire d'inspecter le contenu indexé, ce qui permet de mieux comprendre et d'analyser le comportement de la recherche.

Tech News: 2026-09

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

Reference Check has been deployed to English Wikipedia, completing its rollout across all Wikipedias. The feature prompts newcomers to add a citation before publishing new content, helping reduce common citation-related reverts and improve verifiability. In A/B testing, the impact was substantial: newcomers shown Reference Check were approximately 2.2 times more likely to include a reference on desktop and about 17.5 times more likely on mobile web.

Updates for editors

The InterwikiSorting extension, which allowed for the sorting of interwiki links, has been undeployed from Wikipedia. As a result, editors who had enabled interwiki link sorting in non-compact mode (full list format) will now see links reordered. The links moving forward will be listed in the alphabetical order of language code.
Later this week, people who are editing a page-section using the mobile visual editor, will notice a new "Edit full page" button. When tapped, you will be able to edit the entire article. This helps when the change you want to make is outside the section you initially opened.
The Reader Experience team is inviting editors to assess whether dark mode should still be considered "beta" on their wiki, based on their experience of how well it functions on desktop and mobile. If the feature is deemed mature, editors can update the interface messages in MediaWiki:skin-theme-description and MediaWiki:Vector-night-mode-beta-tag to indicate that dark mode is ready and no longer considered beta.
The improved Activity tab which displays user-insights is now available to all users of the Wikipedia iOS app (version 7.9.0 and later). Following earlier A/B testing that showed higher account creation among users with access to the feature, it has been rolled out to 100% of users along with some updates. The Activity tab now shows your edited articles in the timeline, offers editing impact insights like contribution counts and article view trends, and customization options to improve in-app experience for users.
View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug that prevented DiscussionTools from working on mobile has now been fixed, restoring full functionality.

Updates for technical contributors

The Global Watchlist lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The extension that makes this possible continues to improve. The latest upgrade is the inclusion of a new hook, ext.globalwatchlist.rebuild, which fires after each watchlist rebuild. This allows you to run gadgets and user scripts for the Special page.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Events

Upcoming events:
- Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group session 3 March, 2026: We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Session on Tuesday, March 3 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone converter). Wikiproject P244 maintenance uses SPARQL queries to identify and resolve two types of constraint violations in Wikidata: instances of Wikidata items with more than one LCNAF identifier and instances of the same LCNAF identifier existing on more than one Wikidata item. The February 17th session walked participants through how to resolve the former issue, while the March 3rd session will focus on the latter. This session will be more discussion-focused, since instances where two LCNAF identifier have the same Wikidata item can be difficult to resolve because of Wikidata’s innate quirks. Maybe your ideas will become the official best practice!

Actualités techniques n° 2026-10

Dernier commentaire : il y a 6 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

Le mode Anniversaire Wikipedia 25 est maintenant disponible sur Wikipédia en français, anglais, betawi, breton, chinois, espagnol, gorontalo, indonésien, italien, luxembourgeois, madurais, néerlandais, sicilien, tchèque, thaï et vietnamien ! Cette campagne à temps limitée célèbre 25 ans de Wikipédia avec une mascotte : « Baby Globe », disponible sous la forme d'un réglage. Lorsque ce réglage est activé, Baby Globe est montrée sur environ 2 500 articles, attendant d'être découverte par des lecteurs. Chaque communauté peut choisir d'activer le mode Anniversaire par consensus et en demandant à un administrateur de le rendre disponible et de le personaliser via une configuration sur le wiki local.

Actualités pour la contribution

Le sous-référencement, une nouvelle fonctionalité pour réutiliser des références avec des détails différents est maintenant disponible sur Wikipédia en suédois, polonais et quelques autres. Vous pouvez essayer la fonctionalité sur ces projets ou sur testwiki et betawiki. Les retours des premiers essais sur Wikipédia en allemand ont été publiés dans un rapport. Contactez l'équipe de Wikimédia Allemagne si vous êtes intéressés pour devenir un wiki pilote.
La vérification du collage clavier sera disponible sur tous les Wikipédias cette semaine. Cette fonctionalité avertit les nouveaux contributeurs qui collent du texte qu'ils n'ont probablement pas écrit de vérifier si laisser celui-ci risque de causer une violation du droit d'auteur. La vérification du collage clavier marque toutes les modifications où l'avertissement a été montré pour permettre leur vérification. Les administrateurs locaux peuvent configurer les différents aspects de cette fonctionalité à travers Spécial:EditChecks. Des études sur 22 wikis ont montré que cette vérification permet une réduction de 18% des annulations comparé au groupe de contrôle. Les traducteurs peuvent aider à traduire cette fonctionalité.
The Reader Experience team will be standardizing the user menu in the top right for all mobile users so that it is closer to the desktop experience. Currently this user menu is only visible to users with Advanced Mobile Controls (AMC) turned on. The only change is that a couple buttons previously in the left-side menu will move to the top right for users who do not have AMC turned on. This change is expected to go out March 9 and seeks to improve the user interface.
À partir de la semaine du 2 mars, les emails envoyés lorsqu'une adresse email a été ajoutée, supprimée ou changée pour un compte changera pour adopter un formattage HTML beaucoup plus agréable et plus clair que le texte brut précédent.
Les notifications sont actuellement limitées à 2 000 entrées historiques par utilisateur et remontent à 2013 lorsque la fonctionnalité a été publiée. Le système va être modifié pour ne stocker que les notifications des 5 dernières années, mais jusqu'à 10 000 d'entre elles. Cela contribuera à la santé à long terme des infrastructures et à empêcher que les notifications plus récentes disparaissent trop tôt.
The Global Watchlist which lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on a single page continues to see improvements. The latest update improves label usage experience. The extension now allows activating the language fallback system for Wikidata items without labels in the viewed language, and showing those labels in the user’s preferred Wikidata language if no uselang= URL parameter is provided.
L'équipe Wikipédia Android a commencé un test beta de la recherche hybride sur Wikipédia en grec. Cette recherche hybride supporte les requêtes sémantique et par mot clés, permettant aux utilisateurs de trouver ce qu'ils cherchent plus facilement.
Pour des raisons de sécurité, les membres de certains groupes sont forcés d'avoir la double authentification (A2F) d'activée. Actuellement, l'A2F n'est nécessaire que pour utiliser les droits du groupe, et non pour en faire partie. Vu que ce système admet certaines failles, il sera changé graduellement en mars. Les membres de ces groupes ne pourront plus désactiver la dernière méthose d'A2F sur leur compte, et il sera impossible d'ajouter des utilisateurs sans A2F à ces groupes. Il sera toujours possible de rajouter d'autres méthodes d'authentification et d'en enlever, tant qu'une est toujours activée. Dans la seconde moitié de mars, les utilisateurs sans A2F seront retirés de ces groupes. Cela s'applique aux administrateurs CentralNotice, aux vérificateurs d'utilisateurs, aux administrateurs d'interface, aux masqueurs, aux staff de Wikidata et Wikifonctions ainsi qu'aux bureaux IT et Confiance et sécurité de la WMF. Rien ne changera pour les autres utilisateurs. Voir la tâche liée pour le calendrier de déploiement.
Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, le problème empêchant les utilisateurs de créer une instance dans Wikibase.cloud a maintenant été résolu.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

To help ensure fair use of infrastructure, over the next month the Wikimedia Foundation will implement global API rate limits across our APIs. In early March, stricter limits will be applied to unidentified requests from outside Toolforge/WMCS and API requests that are made from web browsers. In April, higher limits will be applied to identified traffic. These limits are intentionally set as high as possible to minimise impact on the community. 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 Wikidata Query Service Linked Data Fragment (LDF) endpoint will be decommissioned in February. This endpoint served limited traffic, which was successfully migrated to other data access methods that were better suited to support existing use cases. The hardware used to support the LDF endpoint will be reallocated to support the ongoing backend migration efforts.
Le nouvel analyseur syntaxique Parsoid continue d'être déployés sur plus de wikis, améliorant la pérennité de la platforme et rendant plus facile l'ajout de nouvelles fonctionalités de lecture et de modification. Parsoid est maintenant l'analyseur par défaut sur 488 wikis de la WMF (268 Wikipédias), couvrant plus de 10% de toutes les lectures de pages Wikipédia.
Le processus et les critères pour demander un accès exceptionnel au flux à fort volume de l'API Wikimédia Entreprise (sans coût pour des utilisations en rapport à notre mission) ont maintenant été publiés. Notre but est de donner une documentation plus claire et plus complète aux utilisateurs.
Le blog Tech, dédié à la communité technique de Wikimédia va migrer vers Diff, le blog pour les nouvelles et événements de la communauté. La migration devrait être terminée en Avril 2026, après quoi les nouveaux posts seront acceptés pour être publiés. Les lecteurs pourront lire les posts - anciens ou nouveaux - sur https://diff.wikimedia.org/.

L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Russie.Nei.Visions » est débattue

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

Page proposée au débat d'admissibilité

Bonjour GrandCelinien,

L’article « Russie.Nei.Visions ^{(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:Russie.Nei.Visions/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.

Tech News: 2026-12

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.

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

Dernier commentaire : il y a 5 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

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.

Dernier commentaire : il y a 5 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’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 5 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.

You can find more information in the call for candidates on Meta-wiki. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.

The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will week between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in SecurePoll, successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on the 2026 Elections page, including timelines and other candidacy information. If you read over the material and consider yourself qualified, please consider submitting your name to run for the committee. If you think someone else in your community might be interested and qualified, please encourage them to run.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Transak » est débattue

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

Page proposée au débat d'admissibilité

Bonjour GrandCelinien,

L’article « Transak ^{(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:Transak/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.

Showcase Lexemes: alikaali (L720932) - Dagbanli noun (derived from ha <--ar) which can mean soothsayer, judge or Muslim scholar

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)
- We started fixing multiple UI layout and spacing issues, including mandatory fields, value fields, snak types, references, and add-statement button usability (phab:T428766, phab:T428761, phab:T428759, phab:T428450)
- We are improving the server-side rendering (phab:T409827)

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).

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.

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

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.

WikiProject Highlights: GovDirectory has opened a Madagascar page.
Showcase Items: Lionel Messi - 6 World Cups, scoring in the last 7 consecutive matches.

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)

Légende locale et image importée de Wikidata

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

Bonjour GrandCelinien,

Merci beaucoup pour vos contributions sur Wikipédia !

Je vous laisse ce petit message car j'ai remarqué que vous avez récemment ajouté ou modifié une légende dans l'infobox de l'article « Gerald Reitlinger ». C'est une excellente initiative pour enrichir l'article, mais il y a un petit détail technique : l'image correspondante provient automatiquement de Wikidata.

Il est préférable d'éviter de lier une légende locale à une image distante. En effet, si l'image vient à être remplacée sur Wikidata à l'avenir, la légende sur Wikipédia restera inchangée, ce qui risquerait de créer une incohérence pour nos lecteurs.

Pour harmoniser tout cela et vider la catégorie de maintenance, voici deux solutions simples :

Transférer la légende sur Wikidata : Ajoutez le qualificatif « légende de média (P2096) » en français à la propriété « image (P18) » sur Wikidata, puis supprimez la légende locale du code de l'article.
Fixer l'image localement : Si votre légende contient des liens internes ou des modèles spécifiques, ajoutez simplement le paramètre |image = (avec le nom exact du fichier) dans l'infobox pour verrouiller l'image sur Wikipédia.

Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus, n'hésitez pas à consulter la documentation des infobox ou la catégorie de maintenance dédiée.

Bonne continuation sur Wikipédia !

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 techniques n° 2026-29

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.

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.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

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 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.

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.

Wikidata weekly summary #742

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

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2026-07-27. Missed the previous one? See issue #741.

Discussions

New requests for permissions/Bot:
- AuntuBot - Task/s: Per the approved bot request at commons:Commons:Bots/Requests/AuntuBot, I am in the process of uploading approximately 50,000 issues of the Bangladesh Gazette to Wikimedia Commons. We need to a parent Wikidata item for each specific issue/volume to import and organize these files on Bengali Wikisource. Note that AuntuBot has already been granted a bot flag on Wikimedia Commons for the file uploads.
- Rebot 2 - Task/s: We recently created the new property perspective (P14345) (Wikidata:Property proposal/anatomical view). With Rebot, I plan to move:
About 570 statements from depicts (P180) to perspective (P14345) as a property
About 1400 statements from depicts (P180) to perspective (P14345) as a qualifier of image (P18)
- Rebot 3 - Task/s: Import 1389 instances of taxon author citation (P6507) from this Catalan Wikipedia list, compiled by bot from the articles.
- Rebot 4 - Task/s: The task consists in changing these 1072 items. It has to change creator (P170) to the new property photographer (P14574). Also there are 1000+ items in which the property should be used as a qualifier.
- Openpep - Task/s: Maintenance of Politically Exposed Person (PEP) data on Wikidata for Thai government officials. Specifically:

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).
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

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.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Job Vacancies: (Interim) Engineering Manager / Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects
Survey: What content would you like to see on the Wikidata Social media channels? - only want to hear about Wikidata events or news, would like to see more use-cases of Wikidata, or perhaps you'd like more beginner or advanced Wikidata tutorials? Let us know in this short survey.
We are setting up to apply for recognition of a new Wikimedia user group, Wikimedians for Data Organization and Quality. The group's goal will be to improve the organization and quality of data, particularly structured data, in Wikimedia projects. You can see more details in the group's home page and, if you wish, you can contribute to the discussion in its talk page. We invite you to be a part of this proposed user group by adding your Wikimedia signature to the Interested Parties section of the group's page.

Development

Query Service: We started preparing the constraint checks for the migration from Blazegraph to QLever.
Page load times: We looked into unnecessarily loaded modules related to the Wikidata Bridge to see if we can remove them and speed up page load times.
Wikipedia and co:
- We worked with English Wikipedia to optimize the CiteQ module code to generate less usage tracking for "Anonymous".
- We checked a variety of Mediawiki areas where Parsoid deprecation may lead to breakages.*
Sustainability: We are planning to migrate the usage tracking data to the X1 extension cluster. We are checking which queries involving entity usage will need re-writing or updating.
REST API: We finished adding support for getting a full Lexeme and started work on creating Lexemes.

Tech News: 2026-34

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.

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.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Actualités techniques n° 2026-35

Dernier commentaire : il y a 28 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.

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 14 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.
Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Tech News: 2026-38

Dernier commentaire : il y a 8 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 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
