Tech News: 2019-13

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

Recent changes

• The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [1]

Problems

• There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [2]
• The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [3]
• Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [4]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 March. It will be on all wikis from 28 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 27 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Film-related AN3 report

Hello RhinosF1. Am I right that you sometimes edit about film studios? There is a report currently open at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Spshu reported by User:King Crimson the Third (Result: ), about Template:Film Studio. It is unclear what admins ought to do. Do you have any background on the kind of thing being disputed? I notice you sometimes post at User:Spshu's talk page. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 21:54, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

EdJohnston, Hi, I'll have a look but I spotted issues before looking for vandals which is why I posted at User Talk:Spshu not through it being one of my areas. Thanks for the message, RhinosF1^(chat)_{(status)(contribs)} 22:00, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

A beer for you!

Who hasn't been there. Take that time off and come back refreshed. SlightSmile 14:07, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

On WP:ANI#Repeated misuse of undo accusations by an IP

Hi RhinosF1. I added 217.19.208.110, based on their comment at [6]. Please do check if it's correct. Now I really need to go. Cya later! Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 17:34, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Optakeover, Must have missed that IP. Thanks, Great Statement!! RhinosF1^(chat)_{(status)(contribs)} 17:38, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi I'm still here, because our precious Anon has tried responding, but placing his comments in my statement body. Could you please do me a favour and refactor them when it happens again? Thanks, Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 17:49, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Optakeover, If I spot it I will RhinosF1^(chat)_{(status)(contribs)} 17:55, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

		Not sure how "political" and controversial this will be, but after an exhausting debate on the concerned user's talk page and ANI discussion, being dragged into this by me, I feel you deserve this barnstar as a token of my appreciation. Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 02:32, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

BrittanyMSA, No problem, You can always continue to work on drafts and things can become notable in time although to stop it being deleted. You'll have to edit it at least once every 6 months. There's no deadline!! RhinosF1^(chat)_{(status)(contribs)} 15:43, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
