Technické novinky: 2025-03

Poslední Technické novinky z technické komunity Wikimedia. Informujte prosím ostatní uživatele o těchto změnách. Ne všechny změny se vás týkají. Jsou dostupné i překlady.

Novinka týdne

• Systém sjednoceného uživatelského přihlášení bude v následujících měsících aktualizován. Jde o systém, který uživatelům umožňuje vyplnit přihlašovací formulář na jednom projektu Wikimedia a tím se přihlásit na všech ostatních. Je třeba jej aktualizovat, protože prohlížeče stále více omezují cookies napříč doménami. Aby se vyhovělo těmto omezením, přihlašovací stránky a stránky pro vytvoření účtu se přesunou na centrální doménu, uživateli se však stále budou jevit, jako by byly na původní wiki. Aktualizovaný kód bude tento týden nasazen pro uživatele na testovacích wiki. Nasazení změny pro všechny uživatele je v plánu během února a března. Pro více podrobností a časový plán viz projektovou stránku SUL3.

Novinky pro editory

• Na wiki, které mají nainstalované PageAssessments, můžete odteď pomocí klíčového slova inproject: filtrovat výsledky vyhledávání podle stránek v rámci daného WikiProjektu. (Jde o tyto wiki: Arabská Wikipedie, Anglická Wikipedie, Anglické Wikicesty, Francouzská Wikipedie, Maďarská Wikipedie, Nepali Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia.) [2]
• Byla vytvořena nová wiki: Wikipedie v tigrejštině (w:tig:) [3]
• Podívejte se na všech 35 úloh vytvořených komunitou, které byly minulý týden vyřešeny. Například se vyskytoval problém s aktualizací počtu editací uživatele po použití rychlého vrácení zpět, který je nyní vyřešen. [4]

Novinky pro technické přispěvatele

• Uživatelé Wikimedia REST API, jako jsou operátoři botů a správci nástrojů, mohou být ovlivněni probíhajícími aktualizacemi. V týdnu od 13. ledna začnou být na všech projektech některé koncové body s obsahem stránek přesměrovávány z RESTbase na novější koncové body MediaWiki REST API. Tato změna byla dosud nasazená na testovací wiki a neměla by mít vliv na dosavadní funkcionalitu, nicméně aktivní uživatelé dotčených koncových bodů mohou na případné problémy přes Phabricator upozornit tým MediaWiki Interfaces.
• Správci nástrojů na Toolforge nyní mohou sdílet svou zpětnou vazbu k Toolforge UI, iniciativě poskytující webovou platformu, která umožňuje vytvářet a spravovat nástroje na Toolforge prostřednictvím grafického rozhraní, jako alternativu k dosavadní správě přes příkazový řádek. Tento projekt si klade za cíl zefektivnit úkoly aktivních správců a také zlepšit přístupnost procesu registrace a nasazení pro nové tvůrce nástrojů. Iniciativa je stále ve velmi rané fázi a tým Cloud Services shromažďuje zpětnou vazbu od komunity Toolforge, aby mohl řešení přizpůsobit jejím potřebám. Přečtěte si více a sdílejte své nápady k Toolforge UI.
• Vývojářům nástrojů a knihoven používajícím systém OAuth: Koncový bod s identitou používaný OAuth 1 a OAuth 2 vracel JSON objekt s číselnou hodnotou pod jedním jeho podklíčem, což bylo chybné (hodnota musí být řetězec). Problém byl vyřešen. Oprava bude na projekty Wikimedia nasazena v týdnu od 13. ledna. [5]
• Na mnoha wiki se pro vlastní vykreslování značek citací ve výstupu Parsoidu používá Cite CSS. Tato pravidla budou k 20. lednu vypnuta, nicméně vývojáři vás vyzývají, abyste do 20. února neprováděli úklid MediaWiki:Common.css, a předešli tak problémům během migrace. Na svých wiki můžete ve vizuálním editoru nebo při použití experimentálního režimu čtení přes Parsoid zaznamenat malé změny značek citací, ale ty by měly dát vykreslování do souladu s výstupem staršího parseru. [6]

Setkání a události

• Další setkání ze série diskusí nadace Wikimedia s komunitou Wikimedia Commons se uskuteční 15. ledna v 8:00 UTC a 16:00 UTC. Tématem této výzvy je vytyčení priorit při investování do nástrojů pro Commons. Přispěvatelé ze všech wiki, zejména uživatelé, kteří spravují nástroje pro Commons, jsou vítáni.

Technické novinky připravené svými autory a doručované botem • Přispívejte • Překládejte • Získejte pomoc • Poskytněte zpětnou vazbu • Přihlaste nebo odhlaste odběr.

Technické novinky: 2025-04

Poslední Technické novinky z technické komunity Wikimedia. Informujte prosím ostatní uživatele o těchto změnách. Ne všechny změny se vás týkají. Jsou dostupné i překlady.

Novinky pro editory

• Pomocí Extension:Nuke mohou správci hromadně mazat více stránek vytvořených jedním uživatelem nebo IP adresou najednou. Dosud umožňovalo mazat stránky vytvořené v posledních 30 dnech. Odteď umožňuje mazat stránky z posledních 90 dní za předpokladu, že je cílem konkrétní uživatel nebo IP adresa. [7]
• Na wiki používajících funkci prověřování editací, když je funkcí rychlý revert zrušena neprověřená revize stránky, bude tato revize odteď označena jako „ručně prověřená“ místo „automaticky prověřená“, což je přesnější. Někteří uživatelé používající filtry posledních změn si možná budou muset aktualizovat svoje nastavení filtrů. [8]
• Podívejte se na všech 31 úloh vytvořených komunitou, které byly minulý týden vyřešeny. Například byl vyřešen problém, kdy funkce „Vložit odkaz“ ve vizuálním editoru ne vždy navrhovala existující stránky správně, když editor začal psát.

Novinky pro technické přispěvatele

• Probíhá progresivní odstraňování rozšíření Strukturované diskuse (také známé jako Flow) z wiki. Rozšíření není udržované a způsobuje problémy. Bude nahrazeno diskusními nástroji, které lze použít na jakékoliv běžné diskusní stránce. Brzy bude kontaktována poslední skupina wiki (Katalánské Wikicitáty, Wikimedia Finsko, Konkánská (Goa) Wikipedie, Kabyle Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikibooks, Wikimedia Sweden). Pokud máte ohledně tohoto procesu dotazy, prosím upozorněte na své wiki uživatele Trizek (WMF). [9]
• Je dostupný nejnovější čtvrtletní Technical Community Newsletter. Toto vydání obsahuje novinky o službách od týmů Data Platform Engineering, informace o Codexu od týmu Design System a další.

Technické novinky připravené svými autory a doručované botem • Přispívejte • Překládejte • Získejte pomoc • Poskytněte zpětnou vazbu • Přihlaste nebo odhlaste odběr.

Technické novinky: 2025-05

Poslední Technické novinky z technické komunity Wikimedia. Informujte prosím ostatní uživatele o těchto změnách. Ne všechny změny se vás týkají. Jsou dostupné i překlady.

Novinka týdne

• Správci a patroláři ‒ jaké informace nebo kontext k editaci nebo uživateli by vám pomohly v rychlejším rozhodování, která jako správci nebo patroláři činíte? Nadace Wikimedia se zajímá o váš názor, kterým můžete nasměrovat její nadcházející roční plán. Zvažte, prosím, zda se podělíte o své myšlenky na tuto a 13 dalších otázek, a pomůžete tak utvářet směr technologií v příštím roce.

Novinky pro editory

• Uživatelé aplikace Wikipedie pro iOS na celém světě mají odteď přístup k funkci personalizovaný Rozbor uplynulého roku, která poskytuje hlubší poznatky založené na vlastní historii čtení a editace Wikipedie. Tento projekt je součástí širšího úsilí pomoct s vítáním nových čtenářů, jakmile začnou objevovat nový obsah a interagovat s ním.
• Pro patroláře editací je nyní dostupná nová funkce, která může upozornit na potenciálně problematické nové stránky. Když je vytvořena stránka se stejným názvem jako stránka, která byla dříve smazána, bude nyní přidána značka („Recreated“), pomocí níž mohou uživatelé filtrovat Speciální:Poslední změny a Speciální:Nové stránky. [10]
• Později tento týden se editorům začne zobrazovat nové varování, pokud se pokusí vytvořit přesměrování, které odkazuje na jiné přesměrování (dvojité přesměrování). Tato funkce jim doporučí, aby odkazovali přímo na cílovou stránku druhého přesměrování. Děkujeme uživateli SomeRandomDeveloper za toto vylepšení. [11]
• Projekty Wikimedia umožňují během přihlašování kontrolu založenou WebAuthn coby druhý faktor (jako jsou hardwarové tokeny), ale tato funkce je nestabilní a používá ji velmi málo uživatelů. Tým MediaWiki Platform dočasně zakazuje přidávání nových WebAuthn klíčů, aby se předešlo kolizím během nasazování SUL3 (sjednoceného přihlašování verze 3). Dosavadní klíče nejsou ovlivněny. [12]
• Podívejte se na všech 30 úloh vytvořených komunitou, které byly minulý týden vyřešeny.

Novinky pro technické přispěvatele

• Pro vývojáře, kteří používají dumpy MediaWiki History: Tým Data Platform Engineering přidal do těchto dumpů několik nových polí, aby podporovaly iniciativu Dočasné účty. Pokud spravujete software, který zpracovává tyto dumpy, zkontrolujte prosím svůj kód a aktualizovanou dokumentaci, protože pořadí polí v záznamech se změní. Dojde také k přejmenování jednoho pole: v dumpu mediawiki_user_history bude pole anonymous přejmenováno na is_anonymous. Změny se projeví s příštím vydáním dumpů v únoru. [13]

• 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.

Technické novinky: 2025-06

Poslední Technické novinky z technické komunity Wikimedia. Informujte prosím ostatní uživatele o těchto změnách. Ne všechny změny se vás týkají. Jsou dostupné i překlady.

Novinky pro editory

• Editoři, kteří používají lištu „Zvláštní znaky“, odteď uvidí 32 zvláštních znaků, které použili naposled napříč přihlášeními na dané wiki. Tato změna by měla usnadnit hledání znaků, které používáte nejčastěji. Tuto funkci nabízí jak editor wikitextu z roku 2010, tak vizuální editor. [14]
• Editoři používající editor wikitextu z roku 2010 mohou odteď výběrem řádků, které se mají odsadit, a kliknutím na tlačítka v liště nástrojů vytvářet podseznamy se správným odsazením.[15] Také odteď můžete pomocí nového tlačítka v liště nástrojů vkládat značky <code>.[16] Děkujeme uživateli stjn za tato vylepšení.
• Na všech wiki je vyžadována pomoc se zajištěním správného fungování generátoru citací.
  • (1) Správci by měli aktualizovat lokální verze stránky MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json a přidat záznamy pro preprint, standard a dataset. Zde jsou příklady rozdílů verzí, jak zreplikovat 'preprint' a 'standard' nebo 'dataset'.
  • (2.1) Pokud chybí citoid mapy v citační šabloně, která se používá s těmito typy referencí, je třeba ji vytvořit. (2.2) Pokud citoid mapu má, je nutné do TemplateData přidat nové názvy polí. Zde jsou příklady aktualizací pro typ 'preprint' a pro 'standard' a 'dataset'. Novými poli, která je možná nutné zavést, jsou archiveID, identifier, repository, organization, repositoryLocation, committee a versionNumber. [17]
• Byla vytvořena nová wiki: Wikipedie v centrální kanurijštině (w:knc:) [18]
• Podívejte se na všech 27 úloh vytvořených komunitou, které byly minulý týden vyřešeny. Například byl do nástroje pro optické rozpoznávání znaků (OCR) používaného na Wikizdrojích přidán nový jazyk církevní slovanština. [19]

Technické novinky: 2025-07

Poslední Technické novinky z technické komunity Wikimedia. Informujte prosím ostatní uživatele o těchto změnách. Ne všechny změny se vás týkají. Jsou dostupné i překlady.

Novinka týdne

• Poradní sbor pro produkty a technologie (Product and Technology Advisory Council, PTAC) uveřejnil návrh svých doporučení pro oddělení technologií a produktu nadace Wikimedia. Doporučuje zaměřit se na mobilní zařízení, zvláště pak přispívání z nich. Žádají zpětnou vazbu komunity na diskusní stránce do 21. února.

Novinky pro editory

• Odkaz „Speciální stránky“ se ve výchozím nastavení přesune ze sekce „Nástroje“ do sekce „Navigace“ postranního panelu hlavní nabídky. Důvodem pro tuto změnu je, že původní sekce je určená pro nástroje související s aktuální stránkou, a ne pro nástroje související s webem, umístění odkazu tak bude logičtější a konzistentní. Chcete-li upravit toto chování a aktualizovat CSS, administrátoři mohou postupovat podle pokynů na T385346. [20]
• V rámci letošního úsilí na vylepšení způsobů, jak čtenáři objevují obsah na wiki, spustí tým pro web experiment s malým počtem čtenářů, který zobrazí některé návrhy souvisejících nebo zajímavých článků ve vyhledávací liště. Více informací naleznete na stránce projektu.
• Editoři šablon, kteří používají TemplateStyles, nyní mohou pomocí dotazů týkajících se přístupnosti (prefers-reduced-motion, prefers-reduced-transparency, prefers-contrast a forced-colors) přizpůsobit výstup pro uživatele s určitými obtížemi s přístupností. Děkujeme uživateli Bawolff za tato vylepšení. [21]
• Podívejte se na všech 22 úloh vytvořených komunitou, které byly minulý týden vyřešeny. Například za účelem zjednodušení práce stevardů se záznamy o globálních blokováních odteď zobrazují přímo na stránce Speciální:Centrální ověření, podobně jako globální uzamčení. [22]

Novinky pro technické přispěvatele

• Wikidata odteď pro štítky a aliasy podporují zvláštní jazyk „výchozí hodnoty pro všechny jazyky“. Díky němu lze předejít přílišné duplikaci téže informace napříč mnoha jazyky. Pokud vaše dotazy Wikidat používají štítky, možná je budete muset aktualizovat, neboť některé dosavadní štítky mohou být odstraněny. [23]
• Funkce getDescription byla volána při každém načtení wikistránky a představuje asi 2,5 % celkové doby načítání stránky. Vypočítaná hodnota bude nyní uložena do mezipaměti, čímž se sníží zatížení serverů Wikimedia. [24]
• V rámci úsilí o vypnutí RESTbase je od 6. února 2025 zablokován koncový bod /page/related a brzy bude odstraněn. Tento časový plán byl zvolen kvůli sjednocení s plánem pro ukončení podpory starších verzí Androidu a iOS. Stabilní alternativou je „morelike“ v API MediaWiki, je dostupně příklad migrace. S jakýmikoliv otázkami lze kontaktovat tým MediaWiki Interfaces. [25]

Do hloubky

• Je dostupný nejnovější čtvrtletní Language and Internationalization newsletter. Obsahuje novinky v menu „Příspívání“, podrobnosti o některých nejnovějších jazykových verzí Wikipedie, podrobnosti o nových jazycích podporovaných rozhraním MediaWiki, novinky ve funkci komunitně spravovaných seznamů a další.
• Je dostupný nejnovější newsletter projektu Charts. Zahrnuje novinky o postupu na zlepšení sledování využití globálních grafů a podpoře kategorizace stránek ve jmenném prostoru Data na Commons.
