Estilo das ligações interwiki[editar código-fonte]
faz um tempo que não vinha aqui, o que rolou as cores dos interlinks? Só o da WP vcs mantearam por ser verde? Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (discussão) 04h00min de 2 de maio de 2017 (UTC)
- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton, é o que está parecendo, mas não consegui encontrar nenhum tópico mencionando algo a respeito nos arquivos dos últimos 4 anos da Esplanada. --ArgonSim (discussão) 00h36min de 3 de maio de 2017 (UTC)
- A propósito, ligações ao Wikcionário aparecem grifadas. --ArgonSim (discussão) 15h33min de 3 de maio de 2017 (UTC)
- Que eu me lembre o estilo dos interwikis é o mesmo de sempre. Abs, Solstag (discussão) 18h53min de 4 de maio de 2017 (UTC)
Grupos de estudo[editar código-fonte]
Qual é a diferença entre um grupo de estudo atualmente hospedado no domínio Portal (Portal:Plantas Medicinais) e um grupo hospedado no domínio Principal (Geometria da Informação)? --ArgonSim (discussão) 20h41min de 2 de maio de 2017 (UTC)
- Oi ArgonSim. Então, "Portal" não é um domínio, nunca foi. "Portal:" é apenas uma sugestão de prefixo para diferenciar grupos de outros conteúdos, sendo assim opcional Abs! Solstag (discussão) 19h00min de 4 de maio de 2017 (UTC)

Editing News #1—2017[editar código-fonte]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Did you know that you can review your changes visually?
In visual mode, you will see additions, removals, new links, and formatting highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.
The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history. You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool.
Recent changes[editar código-fonte]
- A new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures to enable the ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽.
- A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. [1]
- The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The
<references />block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [2] - You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. [3]
- The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. [4]
- The Categorias item has been moved to the top of the Opções da página menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access. [5] There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. [6]
- You can now create
<chem>tags (sometimes used as<ce>) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [7] - Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [8]
- The Carácter especial menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt. [9]
- A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page. This has been fixed. The team are sorry for the disruption. [10]
- There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations:
Control+Shift+Kon a PC, orCommand+Shift+Kon a Mac. It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which isControl+KorCommand+Krespectively. [11]
Future changes[editar código-fonte]
- The team is working on a syntax highlighting tool. It will highlight matching pairs of
<ref>tags and other types of wikitext syntax. You will be able to turn it on and off. It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017. [12] - The kind of button used to Antever resultado, Mostrar alterações, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors. The new buttons will use OOjs UI. The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read. The labels will remain the same. You can test the new button by editing a page and adding
&ooui=1to the end of the URL, like this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1 The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes. [13] - The outdated 2006 wikitext editor will be removed later this year. It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors. See a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org if you are uncertain which one you use. [14]

Segundo ciclo de discussão da estratégia do movimento[editar código-fonte]
Pessoal,
Iniciamos o segundo ciclo da discussão de estratégia do movimento Wikimedia. A equipe agrupou as quase 1800 declarações temáticas do primeiro ciclo em 5 temas principais a serem discutidos e priorizados.
No primeiro ciclo não criamos um ambiente de discussão por aqui, mas isso não impede a criação agora. Se houver alguém interessado em discutir por aqui, me avisem que criarei o ambiente imediatamente.
Também não hesitem em ir até a Wikipédia para participar se lhes for conveniente.

Manual de Framework de Sistema Open Source[editar código-fonte]
Olá, desenvolvo a mais de 5 anos um Framework open source JAVAEE para criação de sistemas, o framework já foi utilizado em alguns projetos, e está sendo homologado para ser disponibilizado para o publico.
O código fonte já se encontra em https://github.com/salviof/SuperBits_FrameWork, mas ainda não saiu a primeira versão release.
A documentação se encontra em JavaDoc, porém para que outras pessoas consigam utilizar, é necessário criar uma documentação menos técnica, sobre os conceitos, e exemplos.
Como entusiasta do open-source, e fã da wikipedia, gostaria de criar a documentação deste Framework em algum dos portais da wikipedia, isso é possível? ou fere algum principio da wikipedia? qual o portal mais indicado?
Obs: também registrei o dominio http://coletivojava.com.br/ onde funcionará um blog...
Alguém pode me ajudar? tenho medo de criar toda a documentação em wiki, e depois o conteúdo ser excluído, vai ser uma pena não poder utilizar a wikipedia..
— o comentário precedente por Salviof (discussão • contrib.) não foi assinado.
- Oi Salviof ! O projeto ideal para manuais técnicos é o Wikilivros. Basta começar um novo livro lá com o título do manual. Qualquer dúvida pode escrever aqui. Abraço! Solstag (discussão) 12h48min de 18 de maio de 2017 (UTC)

Improved search in deleted pages archive[editar código-fonte]
Ajude a traduzir para a sua língua, por favor
During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.
Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).
We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki.
Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0 in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0
Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.

Accessible editing buttons[editar código-fonte]
É possível visualizar e utilizar as versões antiga e nova. A maioria dos editores apenas notará que alguns botões estão ligeiramente maiores e têm outras cores.
- Comparação dos estilos antigo e novo

Botões antes da mudança -
Botões após a mudança
Essa mudança, no entanto, também afectará alguns scripts e gadgets. Infelizmente, alguns podem deixar de funcionar com o novo sistema. Se você mantém scripts e/ou gadgets usados no processo de edição, veja mw:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons para saber mais sobre como experimentar e corrigi-los. Scripts desatualizados podem ser experimentados e corrigidos agora mesmo.
Essa mudança possivelmente ocorrerá nas wikis na terça-feira, 1º de agosto de 2017. Se precisares de ajuda, deixe uma nota em mw:Talk:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons.--Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 16h56min de 27 de julho de 2017 (UTC)

Certificação[editar código-fonte]
Saudações! Estou coordenando a criação de um curso de jornalismo científico, que penso oferecer neste projeto. Será provavelmente feito no estilo de WikiMOOC, como o de Web Science, na Wikiversidade em inglês. Estou discutindo com algumas entidades acadêmicas, como a FAPESP, a certificação desse curso, desde que o/a estudante que o realize faça as atividades requeridas. A certificação tem um custo -- um valor pequeno, ao que parece --, que seria arcado pelo/a estudante. Queria ter a opinião da comunidade antes de lançar algo que talvez pudesse causar estranheza? --Joalpe (discussão) 11h21min de 5 de setembro de 2017 (UTC)
Concordo @Joalpe: Acho uma boa ideia. Precisamos de jornalistas nessa área. Seria legal algum conteúdo sobre w:pseudociências. Por que a proposta causaria estranheza? Boas! --Ixocactus (discussão) 04h20min de 12 de setembro de 2017 (UTC)
- @Ixocactus: A questão é o custo, pois encaminharíamos a partir da Wikiversidade para um serviço a ser pago, a saber: a certificação do curso. Adorei a ideia de um módulo sobre pseudociência. Você quer fazê-lo? Se sim, conversamos! Abraços. --Joalpe (discussão) 10h45min de 12 de setembro de 2017 (UTC)
- Agora entendi. Será um prazer fazer o módulo pseudocientífico. Tenho aqui umas psicografias do Martin Gardner e do Sagan. --Ixocactus (discussão) 16h45min de 12 de setembro de 2017 (UTC)

Habilitação e instalação[editar código-fonte]
Olá a todos. Gostaria de propor aqui a habilitação das funcionalidades do Kartographer, uma extensão do Mediwiki, bem como suas tags bastante funcionais <mapframe> e <maplink>. Isso permitirá que a gente possa, por exemplo, embedar os mapas que a Wikimedia renderizou a partir do OpenStreetMap nas páginas aqui da Wikiversidade. Para entender melhor a questão, leiam Kartographer. Cordialmente, Sturm (discussão) 17h49min de 13 de novembro de 2017 (UTC)
- Muito legal =) Sou favorável. E pelo que entendi da nota no fim da página, apesar dos recursos limitados, se emularmos este pedido há uma chance de nos ativarem a extensão. É isso ou tem outro caminho? Abraço Solstag (discussão) 22h09min de 13 de novembro de 2017 (UTC)

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers[editar código-fonte]
New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.
Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.
For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.
The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.
Obrigado!

Uso de logos restritos[editar código-fonte]
Bom dia pessoal. Estou cá com uma dúvida! Eventualmente, creio, algum curso aqui na Wikiversidade pode querer indicar as instituições de ensino que o apoiam, ou agências de fomento que prestaram algum tipo de suporte. Nesses casos, o uso dos logos dessas instituições pode se fazer necessário e nem sempre eles estão disponíveis no Wikimedia Commons, uma vez que além de serem obras sob trademark, muitos possuem ainda uma arte passível de proteção de direitos autorais (casos em que os logos não são pura e simplesmente texto e/ou formas geométricas básicas). Sendo assim, o que lhes parece a ideia de permitir o upload desses logos aqui na Wikiversidade, especificando que eles não estão em licença aberta? Pensei em algo especifico para logos de instituições ligadas aos cursos que temos mesmo, nada próximo ao fair use implementado em diversas Wikipédias. Cordialmente, Sturm (discussão) 14h55min de 4 de dezembro de 2017 (UTC)
- @Sturm: Não entendi o que isso quer dizer: "...especificando que eles não estão em licença aberta? Pensei em algo especifico para logos de instituições ligadas aos cursos que temos mesmo, nada próximo ao fair use implementado em diversas Wikipédias". Como se justifica o carregamento de imagens protegidas se não é pelo fair use? Entendo -- e concordo -- com a teoria da proposta, mas não entendo como resolver a questão prática. Saudações. --Joalpe (discussão) 10h15min de 7 de dezembro de 2017 (UTC)
- Bom dia Sturm! Eu refletira sobre isso em algumas ocasiões... o que você propõe não causaria problemas do ponto de vista formal da Wikiversidade/Wikimedia, nem mesmo pra dinâmica wiki se os logos figurarem apenas em atividades estritamente ligadas às instituições. Os dois problemas que vejo são ligados ao caráter "oficializante" que o logo protegido confere a um conteúdo que qualquer pessoa possa editar, e anonimamente. O primeiro seria alguém inserir uma desqualificação da instituição junto ao logo, ou trocar a imagem por uma versão desfigurada, o que pode gerar conflitos com a instituição que implicitamente está autorizando o uso. O segundo, que considero mais grave, é a ideia de que o conteúdo da página na presença do logo será consumido como algo sob curadoria e responsabilidade da instituição, quando não há nem como garantir isso, nem me parece que seja o objetivo. Enfim, são só pensamentos, não estou convencido nem de uma nem de outra coisa. Abraço, Solstag (discussão) 12h44min de 7 de dezembro de 2017 (UTC)
- @Solstag: Salve. Se entendi bem o que o aflige, será que essas duas colocações abaixo fazem sentido, respectivamente associadas a suas duas questões:
- Você parece descrever uma situação que viola o escopo do projeto: "O primeiro seria alguém inserir uma desqualificação da instituição junto ao logo". Sobre a "versão desfigurada" do logo, creio que é preciso entender melhor qual a licença que o Sturm sugere. O 'fair use' desautoriza a modificação de arquivos.
- Praticamente todos os cursos na Wikiversidade citam uma instituição de ensino. Eu mesmo cito, em todos os que criei. Não acredito que isso crie a impressão de "curadoria e responsabilidade da instituição", apenas denota que estou vinculado a essa instituição. Com o logo não me parece diferente -- é apenas uma indicação de vínculo institucional e não acredito que, nesse ponto que lhe pareceu mais grave, haja de fato um problema.
- Abraços! --Joalpe (discussão) 03h42min de 8 de dezembro de 2017 (UTC)
- Oi Joalpe, Sturm . Minha preocupação não é com o que seria ou não aceito pelas regras da wikiversidade, mas com, de um lado, o impacto maior de um abuso ocasional da imagem da instituição, visto que não temos a priori como verificar se cada uso de logo é de fato ligado a cada instituição. De outro lado, o que considero mais grave é alguém tomar o conteúdo por oficial e curado pela instituição, quando essa não é a proposta aqui. Minha suspeita é que, para o leitor, uma página mencionando relação com uma instituição é muito diferente de uma página que ostenta seu logotipo. De toda forma, é uma análise de custo benefício, então qual o ganho em colocar logotipos? O Sturm menciona 'usos necessários', como preocupação com exigências de alguém. Minha dúvida seria se essa organização exigindo quer mesmo exigir seu logotipo numa página universalmente editável. Ou se preferem apenas uma menção do seu nome com um link, como é feito atualmente. Quais seriam outros benefícios? Posso imaginar, por exemplo, que incrementar páginas com logos pode ser instrumentalizado para dar maior atenção e credibilidade à Wikiversidade. Aí a discussão do benefício passa a ser se, e o quanto, queremos isso dessa maneira, diferenciando de forma ostensiva páginas com mais cacife institucional.

- Oi Joalpe, Sturm, Solstag, A Fundação Wikimedia tem um espaço predefinido para carregar ficheiros e ser compartilhado para todos os wikis. Depois disso, em commons, são regidos por certas políticas de licenças, como você pode ler aqui. Enquanto a idéia de Sturm é boa, para ter como "acesso ao carregar de ficheiros", podemos nos ver com a dúvida se realmente tivemos permissão para carregar essas imagens, pelo motivo - Único uso legítimo (Fair use) -. Felizmente, commons nos fornecem soluções. O primeiro e não é arriscado, é obter permissão para publicar as imagens e continuar com o protocolo OTRS, enquanto a segunda solução, e eu acho que vem neste caso, usar os ficheiros tipo de uso justo, apenas se o uso legítimo é permitido.- Como na pt.wikiversity, não temos nossa própria política relacionada ao uso de imagens, podemos abrir uma votação e concordar entre os usuários que mantemos o projeto vivo se adotarmos o carrega de arquivos de uso legítimo,como foi feito na wikipedia, obviamente, respeitando o acordo do WMF.Abraços! — Cethos 15h10min de 9 de janeiro de 2018 (UTC)
- Oi Joalpe, Sturm . Minha preocupação não é com o que seria ou não aceito pelas regras da wikiversidade, mas com, de um lado, o impacto maior de um abuso ocasional da imagem da instituição, visto que não temos a priori como verificar se cada uso de logo é de fato ligado a cada instituição. De outro lado, o que considero mais grave é alguém tomar o conteúdo por oficial e curado pela instituição, quando essa não é a proposta aqui. Minha suspeita é que, para o leitor, uma página mencionando relação com uma instituição é muito diferente de uma página que ostenta seu logotipo. De toda forma, é uma análise de custo benefício, então qual o ganho em colocar logotipos? O Sturm menciona 'usos necessários', como preocupação com exigências de alguém. Minha dúvida seria se essa organização exigindo quer mesmo exigir seu logotipo numa página universalmente editável. Ou se preferem apenas uma menção do seu nome com um link, como é feito atualmente. Quais seriam outros benefícios? Posso imaginar, por exemplo, que incrementar páginas com logos pode ser instrumentalizado para dar maior atenção e credibilidade à Wikiversidade. Aí a discussão do benefício passa a ser se, e o quanto, queremos isso dessa maneira, diferenciando de forma ostensiva páginas com mais cacife institucional. Abs, Solstag (discussão) 11h33min de 18 de dezembro de 2017 (UTC).
- @Solstag: Salve. Se entendi bem o que o aflige, será que essas duas colocações abaixo fazem sentido, respectivamente associadas a suas duas questões:

MOOC -- curso de Introdução ao Jornalismo Científico[editar código-fonte]
Oi pessoal!
Com colegas estamos desenvolvendo os módulos de MOOC para cursos na Wikiversidade e, se possível, queria especial atenção da comunidade para ajudar-nos a verificar potenciais bugs. O esqueleto que estamos desenvolvendo poderá ser usado por todo mundo!
A implementação dos módulos está ocorrendo no curso Introdução ao Jornalismo Científico. Por enquanto, o curso está em desenvolvimento -- a aula mais avançada é a quinta --, mas se já perceberem problemas é um bom momento para avisar. Podem comunicar-se diretamente na minha página de discussão, para não poluirmos a Esplanada com isso.
Valeu! --Joalpe (discussão) 22h59min de 28 de janeiro de 2018 (UTC)

Recent changes
- Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to. [16]
- The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language. [17]
- Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded. [18]
Problems
- Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this. [19]
Changes later this week
- When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users. [20]
- When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like
gallery widths="150px". You could useemor%instead ofpxbut it would make no difference. You can now only use150pxor nothing (150). If you write something else, instead of treating it likepx, it will not work. [21] - The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of
SimorNãoit will sayThankandCancel. It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public. [22] - Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it. [23]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 February at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 7 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Recent changes
- TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator. [26][27][28]
- Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.
Changes later this week
- You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages. [29]
- The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like
{{reflist}}, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates. [30] - The abuse filter extension has a new feature
contains_allthat you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. [31] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar).

Recent changes
- The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed. [33][34]
- You can now see statistics for pageviews per wiki per country. You can see this on maps or in a table. [35]
Problems
- Linter is reporting estimated counts instead of actual counts for some wikis. This is because of performance problems. You might notice a false higher number in linter counts for some categories. This will be fixed as soon as the performance problem has been fixed. [36]
- Last week the way that Visual Editor displays references lists was changed. As a result, the references generated by specific templates like
{{sfn}}are not visible in the references list whilst editing. [37][38]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 February. It will be on all wikis from 22 February (calendar).

Problems
- Last week's MediaWiki version was rolled back because of a bug. [41][42]

- Special:Statistics did not take newly created pages into account since 13 February 2018. Because of this the statistics are recreated. [44][45][46]
Changes later this week
- Users with version 10 of the Internet Explorer browser will no longer get JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis. If you use this browser on your computer, you can try upgrading to a newer version. [47]
- The Wikinews wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 27 February. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [48][49]

Editing News #1—2018[editar código-fonte]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?
Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.
If you enable the Beta Feature for "⧼visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-label⧽", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.
In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.
This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.
Recent changes[editar código-fonte]
- The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
- The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges. [50]
- Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [51]
- The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up. Your wiki can have this service. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.
Let's work together[editar código-fonte]
- The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
- Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
- The
<references />block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [52] - If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Obrigado!

Changes later this week
- You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. [54]
- On Special:AbuseLog you can now choose to list only actions that actually made an edit. Other actions are when the filter warned the editor or blocked the edit from being made. There are also more search options. [55][56]
- Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor, but it is complex. The tool will now warn in the JavaScript console if the configuration isn't correct. Soon Citoid will disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [57]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 March. It will be on all wikis from 8 March (calendar).

Recent changes
- 3D models can now be uploaded to Commons. [58]
- Page Previews has been updated to use HTML for previews. This has fixed many issues. An A/B test was done on English and German Wikipedia to measure how it is used. Other changes were also made. [59]
- Some edits have to be checked against too many conditions before they can trigger an abuse filter. If that is the reason no filter is triggered the edit will be tagged for review. [60]
- Auto-saving has been added to the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. Right now it is meant to help if your browser crashes or if you accidentally close a tab. [61]
Problems
- The abuse filter did not tag all edits that should have been tagged after last week's MediaWiki version had come to the wikis. It was fixed on 9 March (UTC). [62]
Changes later this week
- You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. This was originally planned to happen last week. [63]
- It is now possible to specify the block parameters for each filter in Special:AbuseFilter. The parameters include block duration and if the user should be blocked from editing their own talk page. The block duration is separate for anonymous and registered users. [64][65]
- A hundred Wikimedia wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 13 and 14 March. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [66][67][68]

Pessoal. O período de submissão para a Conferência GLAMWiki 2018 está aberto e recebe propostas de palestras, oficinas, debates, painéis, falas curtas, encontros e outros tipos de atividade até o fim de abril.
A conferência ocorre de 3 a 5 de novembro, em Tel Aviv, e propõe-se a ser um evento internacional para a comunidade de voluntárias/os especialmente ativas/os e interessadas/os em projetos com galerias, bibliotecas, arquivos e museus (na sigla em inglês, GLAMs). Aliás, a conferência será principalmente em inglês, mas eventualmente atividades em outros idiomas podem ocorrer no próprio local (a ser definido).
Propostas de atividades, que progressivamente serão publicadas, vindas do mundo todo, podem ser debatidas e apoiadas na página da conferência.
Amanhã, será aberta a página para pedidos de apoio para participar do evento (aba "Scholarships", na página principal).
Estou este ano no comitê de programa da conferência, assim que, se você tiver dúvidas sobre o evento ou sobre GLAMs no geral que quiser direcionar diretamente para mim, será um prazer, na medida do possível, atendê-la/o. De resto, todo o comitê do evento e outros organizadores estão disponíveis para dúvidas.
Espero que isso seja de seu interesse! --Joalpe (discussão) 17h46min de 17 de março de 2018 (UTC)

If you have a tool that stores static configuration, you can now use a subpage likeUser:Example/mygadget.jsonto do this without concerns. [81] - Tidy will be replaced by RemexHtml on the next set of wikis. On April 4, we plan to turn off Tidy on all Wikiquotes (except frwikiquote) and Wikimedia chapters and user groups wikis. 23 wikis will have Tidy replaced this time. [82][83][84]
- AbuseFilter will transition to use OOUI starting April 4, and the rule editor will also be changed to a CodeEditor (ACE) similar to what is found on user JavaScript pages. The move to OOUI will continue over the next few weeks. [85] [86]
- In Special:Preferences, the preference "Recarregar a lista de páginas vigiadas automaticamente sempre que um filtro é alterado (requer JavaScript)" is now only visible for users who have opt-out the New Filters for the Watchlist. [87]

- On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with less than 50 entries in all high priority linter categories. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml by end of June 2018. Please follow T175706 to monitor progress of Tidy replacement. [90][91]

Recent changes
- Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [92]
- You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [93]

Changes later this week
- Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [99]
- Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (
===and!==) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [100][101] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 April. It will be on all wikis from 19 April (calendar).

Recent changes
- The parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [107]
Problems
- We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [108]
Changes later this week
- You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [109]
- When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [110]
- You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the Edição section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [111]
- There is a new abuse filter function called
equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org. - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

wikimedia.org to leave private feedback. - All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [112][113][114]

- It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [124]
- Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words.
- There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [125]
- Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [126]
- There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [127]
Problems
- Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [128]
Changes later this week
- There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [129]

- Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. [134][135]

Recent changes
- The MonoBook skin has been optimised for mobile devices. It now looks different. [136]
- Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [137][138]
- Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [139]
Problems
- You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them.

Update on page issues on mobile web[editar código-fonte]
Update on page issues on mobile web
Ajude a traduzir para a sua língua, por favor Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.
So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:
- The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
- Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
- Readers care about page issues and consider them important
- Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues
Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

Future changes
- Some old web browsers will not be able to read the Wikimedia wikis. This is because they use an insecure way to connect to them. This means that we get less security for everyone else too.

- Structured discussions toolbars will have more style options. [165]
- When you look at Wikimedia code in Gerrit there will be a new interface. It is on by default for new users. This is also true for developers. This is to make it easier to understand what is happening. [166]

A Wikimedia Portugal precisa do vosso apoio[editar código-fonte]
A 15 de Julho de 2018, a Comissão de Afiliações da Wikimedia suspendeu alguns dos benefícios da Wikimedia Portugal em relação a programas da Wikimedia Foundation [173]. Para que a Wikimedia Portugal possa retomar as suas actividades normais, foi requerido que demonstremos entre outras coisas que temos o apoio de pelo menos vinte contribuidores activos em projectos da Wikimedia e que sejam sócios da Wikimedia Portugal. Gostaria de pedir que caso sejam já sócios da Wikimedia Portugal ou pretendam tornar-se em breve e apoiar as actividades da associação em Portugal visitem a página wmpt:Utilizador:GoEThe/Página de apoio à Wikimedia Portugal e demonstrem o vosso apoio. Caso não sejam associados há também uma secção para demonstrarem o vosso apoio, caso assim o desejem. Se necessitarem de maior contexto do que se está a passar, terei muito gosto de o fazer. Obrigado desde já. Espero poder contar com o vosso apoio. GoEThe (discussão) 22h33min de 16 de julho de 2018 (UTC)
- @GoEThe: Oi! Te adicionei no Facebook -- pois queria conversar um pouco sobre o que está acontecendo. Quiçá marcamos um chat mesmo. Também marcando o DarwIn. Abraço. --Joalpe (discussão) 22h34min de 24 de julho de 2018 (UTC)

New user group for editing sitewide CSS / JS[editar código-fonte]
(Ajude a traduzir para a sua língua, por favor)
Hi all!
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.)
A new user group, interface-admin, has been created.
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage).
You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).
Thanks!

Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now[editar código-fonte]
(Ajude a traduzir para a sua língua, por favor)
Hi all,
as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (Administradores da interface) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.
Thanks!

Read-only mode for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October[editar código-fonte]
Leia esta mensagem em outro idioma • Ajude a traduzir para a sua língua, por favor
The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. Isso garantirá que a Wikipédia e as outras wikis da Wikimedia possam estar online mesmo depois de um desastre. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 12 September 2018. On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch. Pedimos desculpa por esta ruptura, e estamos a trabalhar para a minimizar no futuro.
Você poderá ler, mas não editar, todas as wikis por um curto período de tempo.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
- Se tentar editar ou guardar durante estes períodos, verá uma mensagem de erro. Esperamos que nenhuma edição se perca durante estes minutos, mas não o podemos garantir. Se vir uma mensagem de erro, por favor aguarde até que tudo volte ao normal. Então deverá poder guardar a sua edição. Mas recomendamos que primeiro faça uma cópia das suas alterações, por precaução.
Outros efeitos.
- Os trabalhos em segundo plano terão a performance reduzida e alguns podem parar. As ligações em vermelho poderão não ser actualizadas tão rápido como o normal. Se criar um artigo que já estiver ligado em outro lugar, o link permanecerá vermelho mais tempo do que o habitual. Alguns scripts de longa-execução terão de ser parados.
- There will be code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary. Pode ler a agenda no wikitech.wikimedia.org Any changes will be announced in the schedule. Lá terá mais notificações acerca disto. Por favor partilhe esta informação com a sua comunidade. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

Pode ler e ajudar na tradução do manual de utilizador, que contém mais informação sobre como usar o Editor Visual.Desde o boletim passado, a equipa de edição tem finalizado a maior parte do trabalho pendente no editor de código 2017 e na ferramenta de diferenças visuais. A equipa tem começado a investigar as necessidades dos editores que utilizam dispositivos móveis. O seu plano de trabalho está disponível em Phabricator. As suas prioridades actuais consistem em corrigir defeitos e melhorar a edição em aparelhos móveis.
Mudanças recentes[editar código-fonte]
- A equipa de edição publicou um relatório inicial sobre a edição em dispositivos móveis.
- A equipa de edição começou um estudo de design de edição visual no site móvel. Os novos editores têm problemas em realizar tarefas básicas num smartphone, como acrescentar ligações em artigos da Wikipedia. Você pode ler o relatório.
- A equipa de leitura está a trabalhar num projecto separado de contribuições através de dispositivos móveis.
- O editor de código criado em 2006 já não é suportado. Se utilizar essa barra de ferramentas, já não verá nenhuma barra. Pode eleger outra ferramenta de edição em suas preferências, acessórios locais ou funções beta.
- A equipa de edição descreveu a história e o estado do editor visual nesta apresentação pública (começa aos 29 minutos e 30 segundos).
- A equipa linguística lançou uma versão nova de Tradução de conteúdos (CX2) no mês passado, no Dia Internacional da Tradução. Integra o editor visual para admitir modelos, tabelas e imagens. Ademais, produz melhor código quando se publica o artigo traduzido. [230]
Trabalhemos juntos[editar código-fonte]
- A equipa de edição deseja melhorar a edição visual no site móvel. Por favor leia as ideias e conte à equipa o que você pensa que poderia ajudar os editores que utilizam o site móvel.

Future changes
- You can use the content translation tool to translate articles. The developers are working on a new version. One of the changes will be a maintenance category. Articles where users add a lot of text from machine translation without changing it will be in that category. This is so the community can review it. The users will also have been warned before they publish the article that it has a lot of unchanged text from machine translations. [237]

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web[editar código-fonte]
Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Ajude a traduzir para a sua língua, por favor
Hello,
In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.
What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.
For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.
If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.
Obrigado!

Recent changes
- You can vote on proposals in the Community Wishlist Survey. The survey decides what the Community Tech team will work on. You can vote until 30 November.
- There is an A/B test for
sameAsdata. This is to make it easier to find the right information with a search engine. This changes the metadata for a wiki page. It doesn't change how the page looks. [238]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 21 November at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The Wikimedia wikis use templates to show readers there are problems with the content on some pages. For example if there are no sources or the page needs to be rewritten. The mobile website will soon show more information when you use these templates. Some templates may need to be updated. [239]
- The Education Program extension was removed from all Wikimedia projects. The database tables used by the extension will be archived. This will happen in a month. If you want the information on your wiki you should move it to a normal wiki page. [240]

Recent changes
- On wikis with translatable pages you could create a mess when you moved a page that had translatable subpages. A subpage is when you use
/to create a new page:/wiki/Page/Subpage. The subpages would be moved but not the translations. The subpages are no longer automatically be moved. This is to make it safer to move pages. [241]
Changes later this week
- The advanced search interface will be available by default on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. It's already active on German, Farsi, Arabic and Hungarian Wikipedia. [242]
- Special:UnusedCategories show empty categories with no files or other categories. You can soon choose to not show soft redirect categories or some maintenance categories there. You can do this with the magic word
__EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__. [243] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 November. It will be on all wikis from 29 November (calendar).
Meetings

Recent changes
- Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [245]
- Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [246]
- You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [247]
- When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [248][249]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 5 December at 16:00 (UTC) and at 23:00 (UTC). See how to join.

New Wikimedia password policy and requirements[editar código-fonte]
Ajude a traduzir para a sua língua, por favor
The Wikimedia Foundation security team is implementing a new password policy and requirements. You can learn more about the project on MediaWiki.org.
These new requirements will apply to new accounts and privileged accounts. New accounts will be required to create a password with a minimum length of 8 characters. Privileged accounts will be prompted to update their password to one that is at least 10 characters in length.
These changes are planned to be in effect on December 13th. If you think your work or tools will be affected by this change, please let us know on the talk page.
Obrigado!

- New accounts will need passwords that are at least 8 characters long. Admins, interface admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, CentralNotice admins, global renamers, check users, stewards and some other user groups will need passwords that are at least 10 characters long. This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [250][251]
- When you hover over a footnote it will show you the reference as a pop-up. This is so you don't have to jump down to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will happen in 2019. Some wikis already have gadgets that do this. You will be able to turn it off. [252]

Tech News
- Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.
Recent changes
- Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [253][254]
- Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [255]
- The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.
Problems
<ref>tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example<ref name="adams" group="books">. If a<ref>tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [256]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December (calendar).

Future changes
- The Wikimedia Foundation Android app team are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can read more about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
-
tiles.wmflabs.organdwma.wmflabs.orgwill stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes the mapnik gadget, hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going. [257]
