Tech News: 2020-26

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版 技術ニュース です。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

問題点

• 編集初学者の編集活動開始をサポートする新しいツールが複数あります。入手はいくつかのウィキで可能です。それらのウィキでは先週、ごく限られた時間帯でビジュアル編集機能に問題がありました。これはネットツールのバグが原因でしたが直後に解決しました。 [1]
• ユーザスクリプトとガジェットの一部はCSSセレクタの変更の影響を受けて機能しなくなりました。問題の解消には.vectorTabsを.vector-menu-tabsに置換してください。 [2]

今週の更新

• 開発者はトークページでの編集の競合を解消する新しいインターフェイスを開発しています。リリースは6月24日の予定です。フィードバックをお願いします。 [3]
• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは6月23日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは6月24日に、その他のウィキには6月25日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

今後の予定

• かつて2012年に行われた暫定的な機能修正により、ウィキのメインページを携帯端末に適応できるようにしました。しかし2017年以降、暫定的に提供されていた機能は非推奨となっており、今年7月13日以降は無効になる予定です。今後はTemplateStylesを使用してください。現在、91のウィキでモバイル版メインページの修正が必要となっています。詳細情報や利用中のウィキが該当するかどうか、ご確認ください。 [4]

問題点

• すべての利用者が強制的にログアウトされました。一部の利用者が他人名義でログインしているように表示されたためです。現在、不具合の修正対応中です。 [5]
• 一部の閲覧者に対してページの最新版が表示されませんでした。ページが更新されたとき、古い版が表示されていました。これはログアウトしている利用者のみが影響を受けました。10日ほど続きましたが、現在は修正済みです。 [6]

• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは6月30日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは7月1日に、その他のウィキには7月1日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

今後の予定

• モダンスキンと モノブックスキンでは「表示」ボタンに searchGoButton のIDを使用しています。ベクタースキンはこのボタンに searchButton というIDを使用しています。すべての外装で同じIDを割り当てるため、モノブックとモダンで使用するIDを searchButton に変更します。これにより、ガジェットやユーザースクリプトに影響が生じます。7月23日に変更を行う予定なので、これ以降は searchButton を使うようにしてください。詳細や影響を受けるスクリプトについてはこちらをご覧ください。

Tech News: 2020-29

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

最近の更新

• 他者の編集に感謝を示す機能があります。この機能を使った操作について、チェックユーザー係が利用者情報を取得できるようになりました。これにより、感謝機能を使って嫌がらせを働くソックパペットを調べることができます。 [9]

問題点

• 2週間ほど前、セキュリティ問題対策のために利用者全員を強制的にログアウトさせました。しかし、問題が完全に解決しなかったため、先週、再び利用者全員のログアウト処理が行われました。 [10][11]

今週の更新

• 単一言語に限定しないウィキではページの翻訳設定ができます。しかし、最新の情報を反映していなかったり、未翻訳部分が出てくることがあります。更新が必要な部分は背景色がピンク色になります。未翻訳部分も将来的に見た目で判別できるようにする予定です。また、背景色変更のマークアップが問題を引き起こす場合があるため、翻訳元のページで <translate nowrap></translate> を使うことで問題を回避できるようにする予定です。 [12]
• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは7月14日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは7月15日に、その他のウィキには7月16日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

今後の予定

• ウィキメディアのコードレビューに GitLabを採用する予定です。ホストサーバーはウィキメディアのサーバーになりそうです。 [13][14][15][16]

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

最近の更新

• かつて2012年に行われた暫定的な機能修正により、ウィキのメインページを携帯端末に適応できるようにしました。モバイルビューのメインページ向けに特殊なケーシングを設定する方法でしたが、2017年以降、暫定的に提供されていた機能は非推奨となっており、今年7月14日から無効になりました。現在、60のウィキでモバイル版メインページの修正が必要となっています。該当するウィキのリストと、修正や支援申請の方法はPhabricatorをご参照ください。なお、この問題は技術ニュースの過去号2020年24週と2020年26週に掲載しました。

問題点

• 言語間リンクに不具合が発生しています。言語間リンクは同じページの他言語版にリンクする機能ですが、ソートの不具合が発生しています。開発者が修正対応を行っています。 [17]
• 複数の利用者に対して同じ通知が繰り返し表示されています。過去の通知が届く場合もあるようです。 [18]
• 一部のユーザーのログインに障害が起きています。おそらく、ブラウザのcookieが原因です。開発者が不具合の修正対応を行っています。ログインに問題が起きたときにはPhabricatorの詳細をご覧ください。 [19]

今週の更新

• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは7月21日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは7月22日に、その他のウィキには7月23日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

今後の予定

• 印刷用バージョンというリンクは今後、非表示になる予定です。ウェブブラウザ側に印刷用バージョンを作成したり、印刷時の見た目を表示する機能が備わっているからです。 [20]

    • Animal hugs: tinyurl.com/yykvj26y (source)

• Development
  • The last week was our quarterly prototyping week. We worked on the following projects. None of them are ready for prime-time yet but we'll continue with them.
    • Slices: We've had a lot of requests for accessing dumps of a smaller part of Wikidata's data since rarely anyone needs the complete data in Wikidata. The tricky part is figuring out which part is needed and if any of that can be generalized. We looked into for example how to make dump generation faster so we could potentially produce more smaller dumps that only cover a part of Wikidata's data, either thematically (e.g. humans) or by type of data (e.g. only statements and English labels and aliases but not sitelinks or descriptions).
    • REST API: As part of our effort to make it easier to access Wikidata's data for programmers we looked into a REST API. We tried to see if we could cover the existing action API modules in a REST API. We could. We'll take this as input for our ongoing API work now.
    • Improving quality ratings through ORES: ORES can judge the quality of an Item automatically. It is currently not very good at it however. We tried a few things to make it more accurate and found some easy wins we'll probably make happen in the next weeks.
    • Query manipulator: One of the ways we could potentially improve the load situation of the Wikidata Query Service is by automatically analyzing and then redirecting a bunch of queries to other systems that are more suitable for that particular type of query. The nice thing about that would be that the person/program sending the query wouldn't have to care about it but it'd be done automagically for them. We tried to build such a system and the results look very promising but more work/experimenting is needed, especially together with the WMF Search team.

Tech News: 2020-33

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

• FileImporter and FileExporter became standard features on all Wikis during the first week of August. They help you transfer files from local wikis to Wikimedia Commons with the original file information and history intact. [33]

Problems

• The mobile skin displays a message at the bottom of the page about who edited last. This message showed raw wikitext. This has now been fixed. Some messages in Structured Discussions and content translation may still appear as raw wikitext. Developers are working on it. [34]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from August 11. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from August 12. It will be on all wikis from August 13 (calendar).

Future changes

• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 13:30 and 15:30 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [35][36]

Reply tool

The number of comments posted with the Reply Tool from March through June 2020. People used the Reply Tool to post over 7,400 comments with the tool.

The Reply tool has been available as a Beta Feature at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The first analysis showed positive results.

• More than 300 editors used the Reply tool at these four Wikipedias. They posted more than 7,400 replies during the study period.
• Of the people who posted a comment with the Reply tool, about 70% of them used the tool multiple times. About 60% of them used it on multiple days.
• Comments from Wikipedia editors are positive. One said, أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة. ("I think the tool has a significant impact; it saves time to reply while the classic way is to move with a mouse to the Edit link to edit the section or the page which is generally far away from the comment. And the user reaches to the edit box so quickly to use the Reply tool.")[41]

The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August. Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages. If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF).

The Reply tool is still in active development. Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to customize the edit summary. (The default edit summary is "Reply".) A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode. This feature searches for usernames. Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to set its own preferred symbol for pinging editors. Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can define a preferred signature prefix in the page MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.

New requirements for user signatures

• The new requirements for custom user signatures began on 6 July 2020. If you try to create a custom signature that does not meet the requirements, you will get an error message.
• Existing custom signatures that do not meet the new requirements will be unaffected temporarily. Eventually, all custom signatures will need to meet the new requirements. You can check your signature and see lists of active editors whose custom signatures need to be corrected. Volunteers have been contacting editors who need to change their custom signatures. If you need to change your custom signature, then please read the help page.

Next: New discussion tool

Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the New Discussion Tool project page on your watchlist.

Affected tools include QuickStatements, Mix'n'Match, and Wikidata Lexeme Forms; users of these and other tools may see more pages being added to their watchlists now. (This only applies to new edits and page creations; previously created or edited pages will not be automatically added to the watchlist retroactively.)

    • External identifiers: USA Water Polo Hall of Fame ID, Encyclopaedia Beliana ID, Indonesian prison database ID, LinkedIn group ID, Naver movie ID, CINE21 film ID, Movist film ID, KOBIS-ID, Max Movie film ID, The Boardr profile ID, Slovník českých nakladatelství 1848-1949 person ID, Google Play developer slug, Passion Patrimoine ID, FVLB work ID, BBC Sound Effects Asset ID, ITHL author ID, Quebec Dams Directory ID, Doktori.hu ID
  • Query examples:
    • Table of the 100 most recent additions of interactive OpenStreetMap maps to English Wikipedia articles - OSM/Wikidata query
    • Map of the birthplace of persons with an ELEM id on Wikidata (Source)

• Development
  • A long-standing bug has been fixed (T217144) where Items and Lexemes created via OAuth would not be added to the user’s watchlist even if the user had the 自分が作成したページやアップロードしたファイルをウォッチリストに追加 setting enabled. (The 自分が編集したページやファイルをウォッチリストに追加 setting was probably likewise ineffective, but this was not tested specifically.) Affected tools include QuickStatements, Mix'n'Match, and Wikidata Lexeme Forms; users of these and other tools may see more pages being added to their watchlists now. (This only applies to new edits and page creations; previously created or edited pages will not be automatically added to the watchlist retroactively.)
  • Working on the basic building blocks of the Query Builder towards making it possible to create the first very simple query with it
  • Talking to people about comparing Wikidata's data against other databases and flagging mismatches
  • Fixing an issue with Item creations via the API by blocked users leading to skipped entity IDs (phab:T232620)
  • Fixed an input issue with invisible characters (phab:T261071)
  • Finishing the draft of the REST API spec to get it ready for feedback
  • WikibaseManifest: created a separate key for local entities and decided what we do about non-local entity sources based on tool-builder feedback (phab:T263527) and specifying the API in OpenApi format (phab:T262919)

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: 2020-40

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

最近の更新

• 管理者は削除された特定版の差分を Special:AbuseLogで参照できるようになりました。これにはSpecial:Undeleteのインターフェースを利用します。 [54]
• 編集者は自動的に利用者グループに分類されます。 たとえば閾値を超える回数と期間に達すると自動承認された利用者に追加されます。不正行為のフィルターには利用者に自動的に付与されるはずの利用者権限を、一定期間、遅らせる働きがあります。あるいはまた、既得の権限を除去することもできます。ウィキではそれぞれこの期間の変更を依頼できるようになりました。現状の既定は5日間です。 [55]

問題点

• 昨年、新規の変更により不正行為フィルタの一部が実行されなくなりました。特定の処理について該当しない変数を入力した場合に、フィルタが実行不能になっていました。現在では修正済みです。 [56]

今週の更新

• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは9月29日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは9月30日に、その他のウィキには10月1日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

今後の予定

• トークページもしくは変更履歴ページでは、他言語版への言語リンクが表示されません。あるいはまた記事ページの編集中にも、表示できません。その対策として、たとえば変更履歴ページのリンク先を他言語の同種のページにするかそれとも記事ページか未定です。Phabricatorで討議に参加してください。
• リンクの色が変わる予定です。これは記事の部分とリンク部分の違いを、もっと明確に示すためです。詳細はPhabricator に記述してあります。
• 利用者は個人設定で、通知の種類別にウェブ上もしくはメールで受け取るように指定ができます。今週末にはAppsという新規項目が選択肢に追加される予定です。これはAndroid および iOS のウィキペディア・アプリでプッシュ通知の受信を採用する選択肢ができたことを反映するためです。テストウィキで個人設定を表示できます。目標として、プッシュ通知の採用は Android 版アプリで10月、 iOS 版は来年2021年初頭を見込んでいます。 [57]
• まもなくウォッチリストに期限付きでページを追加できるようになります。たとえば特定のページをごく短期的にウォッチしたいけれど、ずっとウォッチリストに載せたくない場合に役立ちます。現状ではmediawiki.org で有効で、他のウィキにも追って展開の予定です。詳細の閲読と他のウィキへの展開の時期をそれぞれご確認ください。
• ウィキメディアンの皆さんが選んだ今年のもっともクールな技術のツールを公開しました。推薦も受付中です。

Tech News: 2020-44

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

問題点

• 10月27日14:00 (UTC) 頃から最大1時間、ウィキが閲覧専用になります。作業時間は1時間未満で終わる可能性があります。 [71]
• 先週、モバイル版ウォッチリストや最近の更新から差分を表示しようとしたとき、差分ではなく本文を表示してしまう不具合がありました。現在は修正済みです。 [72]

今週の更新

• 今週、MedaiWikiのバージョン更新はありません。

今後の予定

• インターフェース管理者の利用者グループが2018年に導入されてから、管理者権限のみを持つ利用者は削除されたCSS/JSの履歴を表示できないようになっていました。このたび機能が修正され、インターフェース管理者権限がなくてもこの履歴を閲覧できるようになりました。 [73]
• タグ付け機能に不具合が発生していました。差し戻しを行った直後に保護などの操作を行うと、ソフトウェアによって「差し戻し済み」のタグが付けられてしまうようになっていました。この不具合は修正されており、今後行われる編集には誤ったタグが付かなくなります。 [74]
• 返信ツールは11月から殆どのウィキペディアでオプトインのベータ版機能として使えるようになります。日付が最終決定した際に改めてお知らせします。 [75]

Tech News: 2020-45

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

最近の更新

• お使いのブラウザが非常に古いTLSを採用している場合、ウィキメディアのウィキを閲覧できなくなりました。これはダウングレード攻撃（downgrade attack）を招きかねず、全員のセキュリティに関わる問題だからです。2020年10月29日より、旧版の TLS を使用する利用者はウィキメディア・プロジェクトに接続できなくなります。推奨されるブラウザの一覧をご用意しました。最新の OS とブラウザはこれまでどおりウィキメディアのプロジェクト群につながります。 [76]
• を対象とした新しい自動追跡カテゴリが利用できるようになりました。{{formatnum:TECHNEWS}} のように無効な（数値以外に対する） {{formatnum}} パーサー関数を指定したページを収集します。なお、{{formatnum:123,456}} のようなものも無効であることに注意してください。ドキュメントでで説明しているように、確実かつ正確にローカライズできるよう、引数は整形されていないものでなければなりません。追跡カテゴリは問題のある使用方法や二重フォーマットを探すのに役立ちます。新しい追跡カテゴリの名前はtranslatewikで翻訳することができます。 [77]

今週の更新

• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは11月3日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは11月4日に、その他のウィキには11月5日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。
• 管理者とスチュワードの皆さんは新しい特別ページ（Special:CreateLocalAccount）を使い、グローバルアカウントに紐付けられたローカルアカウントを強制的に作成することができるようになる予定です。アカウント作成が阻止されてしまったときに役立ちます（ブロックもしくはフィルタが要因の場合。） [78]
• 返信ツールは11月4日水曜日（UTC）より大部分のウィキペディアで選択制のベータ機能として導入します。この変更の対象外は英語版、ロシア語版、ドイツ語版のウィキペディアと、小規模で特殊な状況のウィキペディア数件です。詳細はヘルプページならびにトラブルシューティングのガイド「ご参照ください。 [79]

今後の予定

• 負の独立変数が与えられたとき、{{formatnum}}の出力に対してユニコードのマイナス記号 (− U+2212) を使うかどうか、議論が進行中です。 [80]
• 将来的にアカウントを登録していない利用者の IP アドレスは誰にも表示されなくなります。代わりにエリアスが発行されます。荒らし対策の新しい利用者権限もしくはオプトイン機能をより多くの人にご用意し、非登録利用者の IP を開示します。今回の利用者権限もしくはオプトイン機能の付与には特定の要件を設けます。また荒らし対策の新しいツールも提供する予定です。まだ過程の初期のため、開発者はコミュニティから情報を集めている段階で、開発の提言に備えています。

Tech News: 2021-02

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

最近の更新

• 編集要約欄が未記入の場合、警告メッセージを表示する選択肢があります。個人設定で指定してください。これまでは CAPTCHAと衝突することがありましたが、現在では解決しています。 [100]
• 任意のログ記録にリンクすることができます。その方法は、たとえばログのタイムスタンプを押すとリンクを取得できます。以前は、非公開のログ記録を閲覧する権限がある利用者にも、何も表示しませんでした。現在は、リンクが記録を表示するようになりました。 [101]
• 管理者が使える 不正利用フィルターは自動的に質の悪い編集を防止します。先週、変更箇所が3点ありました。
  • フィルターの編集 UI に文字入力すると、シンタックスエラーを表示するようになりました。JavaScript で記述したページと似た機能です。正規表現に対して検出する文字列が空の場合、警告メッセージを表示します。さらに警告メッセージを追加する予定です。 [102]
  • オーバーサイト向けのSpecial:AbuseLog でチェックボックスを使い、フィルターの複数のログ記録をまとめて非表示にするようになりました。これにより通常の更新削除と同じ使い方ができます。 [103]
  • When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is "throttled". The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this "throttle".
• 新しい外装を作成するツールが追加されました。また既存の外装を表示することもできます。フィードバックを募集中です。 [104]
• API を利用するボットは、ページの監視に自動的にアカウントの個人設定を反映しなくなりました。現在もwatchlistをwatch に設定することはできます。データベース上のウォッチリストのデータ量を減らす方策です。 [105]
• Scribunto のファイルのメタデータの要素に長さを追加しました。 [106]
• CSS と JavaScript コードページにはそれぞれ、行番号にリンクアンカーを設けました。 [107]
• 先週、MediaWikiのバージョン更新を実施しました。変更点は763 あり、詳細なログをご参照ください。大部分はとても細かな変更であり、皆さんに影響はないと見られます。

今週の更新

• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは1月12日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは1月13日に、その他のウィキには1月14日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

Tech News: 2021-03

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

今週の更新

• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは1月19日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは1月20日に、その他のウィキには1月21日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

今後の予定

• Growth チームでは機能を追加し、さらに多くのウィキペディアで訪問者がもっと編集に参加するように働きかける計画です。インターフェースの翻訳を手伝ってください。
• Wikimedia コモンズは 1月26日 07:00 (UTC) から数分ほど、読み込み専用になります。 [108]
• MassMessage の投稿は今後、自動的にタイムスタンプを付ける計画です。これは MassMessage を使って送信者がページを送れるようになり、ページには署名しにくい点の対策です。もし MassMessage の投稿にタイムスタンプをつけてはいけない場合をご存知でしたら、開発者に連絡をお願いします。

Reply tool

Completion rates for comments made with the Reply tool and full-page wikitext editing. Details and limitations are in this report.

The Reply tool is available at most Wikipedias.

• The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
• It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.

Research notes:

• As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
• We have preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[109]
• The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[110] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
• A large A/B test will start soon.[111] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. You can still turn it on or off for your own account in Special:Preferences.

New discussion tool

Screenshot of version 1.0 of the New Discussion Tool prototype.

The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[112] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.

Next: Notifications

During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at notifications-talk.

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

問題点

• 差分表示のとき、IPv6 アドレスはすべて小文字で表示されます。しかし特別:投稿記録はIPアドレスを大文字限定で認識していたため、リンク切れの原因になっていました。現在は修正されています。 [116]

今週の更新

• ウィキデータでは近々、多言語版ウィキソースにリンクできるようになります。 [117]
• 単語と数字など、2要素の間にスペースを挟み、それでいて無用な改行を発生させないため、編集者はしばしば「ノーブレークスペース」を使うことがあります。この特殊な文字列を手打ちではなくメニューの記号から選んで入力できるようになりました。対象はウィキ文エディタの2010年版と2017年版と、ビジュアルエディタです。ビジュアルエディタでは、ノーブレークスペースはグレーで表示します。 [118][119]
• ウィキでは不正利用フィルターを使い、質の悪い編集を防止しています。フィルターの管理でIP範囲に使える構文に1.2.3.4 - 1.2.3.55や1.2.3.4/27が加わりました。 [120]
• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは2月2日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは2月3日に、その他のウィキには2月4日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

今後の予定

• ミネルバ外装はウィキメディアのウィキ群が携帯機器向けに採用しています。ページが保護されていて編集できない場合、通常はウィキコードのソースを閲覧することができます。しかし、携帯機器ではこの機能が使用できません。現在、問題の修正に取り組んでいます。また、文字の一部が折り重なって表示されることがあります。その場合は皆さんのコミュニティでMediaWiki:Protectedpagetext を更新し、携帯機器で機能するようにしてください。詳細はこちらをご参照ください。 [121][122]
• Cloud VPS ならびに Toolforge はウィキ群に接増するときに使用するIPアドレスを変更する予定です。新しい IP アドレスは、185.15.56.1です。変更実施は2月8日を計画しています。詳細はこちらをご参照ください。

最近の更新

• Android版Wikipedia アプリにウォッチリストとトークページが導入されました。 [123]

今週の更新

• 特別:ウォッチリストに登録すると、そのページが変更されたときに通知が届きます。どのウィキでもウォッチリストにページを追加できます。2月11日 (UTC)、Meta にグローバルウォッチリスト拡張機能を導入する予定です。この機能を使うと各ウィキでウォッチしているページの更新をひとつのページにまとめて表示することができます。この新しいウォッチリストは Meta のSpecial:GlobalWatchlist をご参照ください。Special:GlobalWatchlistSettingsでは監視するウィキ群ほかの設定ができます。対象とするウィキは合計5件までです。 [124]
• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは2月9日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは2月10日に、その他のウィキには2月11日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

今後の予定

• 管理者が保護操作を行うページに対してOOUI lookを採用する予定です。特別:インポートも同様に外見を刷新します。これにより携帯端末での操作が容易になります。 [125][126]
• 2月17日 07:00 (UTC) より短い時間ですが一部のサービスが利用できくなり見込みです。新規の短縮リンク生成、翻訳、通知、リーディングリストへの追加、バウンスメールの記録などが正常に行われない可能性があります。原因はデータベースの管理作業を実施するためです。 [127]
• 技術ニュースの先週号で Cloud VPS と Toolforge からウィキに接続する IP アドレスを2月8日に変更するとお知らせしましたが、実施が遅れています。後日改めて実施する予定です。 [128]

Wikidata weekly summary #455

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Discussions
  • Other: Tool ideas/ImproveWikidata

• Events
  • Past: Linked Open Storytelling - Winter School 2021 - Fellow-Programm Freies Wissen (in German) (reply on YouTube)
  • Upcoming: SPARQL queries live on Twitch and in French by Vigneron, February 16 at 18:00 CET
  • Upcoming: Bug triage hour about Lexemes, February 16
  • Upcoming video: LIVE Wikidata editing #32 - YouTube, Facebook, February 20
  • Upcoming: Online Wikidata meetup in Swedish #50, February 21

• Press, articles, blog posts, videos
  • Blog post: The promise of Wikidata: How journalists can use the crowdsourced open knowledge base as a data source, by Monika Sengul-Jones
  • Blog post: Data donation to Wikidata, part 2: country/subject dossiers of the 20th Century Press Archives (by Joachim Neubert, ZBW Labs)
  • Blog post: Bibliography and Citations of Hausa Folklore by Anasskoko
  • Video: Querying Linked (Wiki)data with SPARQL ✨ (presentation by Lucas Werkmeister at rC3, 90 minutes)
  • Video: Wikidata editing #31 Free Software Day - YouTube, Facebook
  • Video: Knowledge Graphs for AI: Wikidata and beyond - YouTube

• Tool of the week
  • UseAsRef script allows you to add references to statements using one external ID as source (see User:Bargioni/UseAsRef and this YouTube video for more information)

• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Abstract Wikipedia presents prototypes of two tools that could help people to visualize, exemplify, and better guide our understanding of the coverage of lexicographic data in Wikidata.
  • Public Domain Tool, developed by the Flemish Institute for Archives automates the process of determining whether their collection items could be in the public domain.
  • Sizes of country items (like "Portugal" (Q45)) were recently reduced by 30% to 50% by moving a few economics properties to "economy of"-items (sample: "economy of Portugal" (Q1649355)). The item "economy of Portugal" is currently larger than "Portugal". This can simplify uses of country items that previously timed-out. Infoboxes can still access the properties with the link through "economy of topic" (P8744).
  • Later this week, the development team will enable a rate limit for assigning new item IDs. Bots and users who successfully create items should notice no change, since the rate limit is equal to the existing limit on all edits. However, bots that often fail to create items may start to see different error messages than usual. This will hopefully reduce the problem of skipped item IDs.
  • Guidelines and compensation for UX research lead by Wikimedia Germany (announcement)

• Did you know?
  • Newest properties:
    • General datatypes: service status information URL, first family name in Portuguese name, time played, coordinates of depicted place

  • New property proposals to review:
    • General datatypes: National Gallery of Art Library Bibliographic ID, letterer, set during recurring event, number of references, sensors, Applying institution
    • External identifiers: Lexikon Literatur in Tirol, Danmarks Adresseregister named street ID, Baidu Baike ID (2), Kickstarter username, Protagonisti della storia delle scienze della mente ID, Curling.fi player ID, RILM ID, Swiss vote ID, svoyak.info player ID, Germanistenverzeichnis, Svenska Institutet i Rom ID, CinemaRx title ID, Sinemalar title ID, English Placenames MADS ID, Armenian Book ID, identifiant inventaire Occitanie, AaRC title ID, Biblioteca Iglesia Nacional Española en Roma ID, BFS ID, Dizionario biografico online degli anarchici italiani ID, JedeSchule.de ID, bashenc.online ID, Svoya Igra television player ID, Wisconsin Architecture and History Inventory ID

  • Improved the deployment process for the Query Service UI to make it easier to deploy
  • Fixed language code "dag" for Dagbani not working for Lemmas for Lexemes (phab:T272242)
  • Fixing the bug where the Property selector is not falling back from language variant to major language for Property labels (phab:T272712)
  • Adding a rate limit for creating Item IDs to avoid skipping so many due to misbehaving bots (phab:T272032)
  • Fixed the case where no error was shown when trying to save a lemma with an invalid language code (phab:T265783)
  • Fixed a but where merging two Lexemes fails if the source Lexeme has links to its own Senses (phab:T273830)
  • Increasing the rate of edits that trigger a check by the constraint checker to 50%. This will increase the number of constraints violations that you can query in the Query Service. (phab:T204031)
  • Making it possible to add interwiki links to/from Multilingual Wikisource (phab:T138332)

Tech News: 2021-13

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

最近の更新

• 非常に古いウェブブラウザはウィキメディアのウィキで動作しなくなりました。従来サポートされていた、古いブラウザ用のコードが除去されたためです。対象となるブラウザで閲覧すると不具合が発生する可能性があります。 [156]
• 「最近の更新」の IRC フィードを新しいサーバに移転しました。すべてのツールがサーバーを指定せず自動で irc.wikimedia.org に再接続するかどうか確認してください。また、最新のイベントストリームへの移行も推奨されています。 [157]

問題点

• 多数の編集者がウォッチリストに登録したページの場合、移動（改名）によって履歴が分断される可能性があります。また、いったん移動するとしばらくの間、再移動ができなくなる可能性があります。ジョブキューに発生した問題が原因です。 [158]
• メタの翻訳対象ページが編集できなくなっていました。原因は翻訳ツールのバグによるものです。この問題のため、MediaWiki のバージョン更新が遅れました。 [159][160]

今週の更新

• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは3月30日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは3月31日に、その他のウィキには4月1日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

Tech News: 2021-14

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

最近の更新

• 記事の一部を折りたたみ、クリックして表示する機能があります。リンク先が折りたたんだ部分の中にある節見出しだった場合、リンクを押すと飛んだ先の節が自動的に表示されるようになりました。ブラウザ画面はリンク先の節までスクロールダウンします。以前はこのようなリンクがうまく作動せず、あらかじめ手動で節見出しを開いておく必要がありました。 [161]

今週の更新

• citoid APIは年と月のみで日がない日付を指定した場合、たとえば 2010-12の代わりに2010-12-XXを適用するようになる予定です。2010-12を本来の意味であるDecember 2010 (2010年12月) ではなく2010-2012 (期間) と取り違える可能性があるからです。これを Extended Date/Time Format (アメリカ議会図書館が策定した日付書式の規格) でレベル0ではなくレベル1と呼びます。 [162]
• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは4月6日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは4月7日に、その他のウィキには4月8日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

今後の予定

• PAWS から Wiki Replicas に接続することができます。データベース横断型クエリの JOINS は4月28日以降動作しなくなります。この変更による影響を受ける可能性があり、手助けが必要な場合には Phabricator または Wikitech でご相談ください。

Tech News: 2021-17

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

最近の更新

• テンプレートには特定の値をとるパラメータがあります。編集者にテンプレート・データを使って値を推奨することができます。まもなくビジュアルエディタはこれらの値をドロップダウン・リストに表示するようになります。テンプレート利用者が正しい値をより早く見つけられるように支援するためです。 [170][171][172]

今週の更新

• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは4月27日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは4月28日に、その他のウィキには4月29日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

Tech News: 2021-18

ウィキメディア技術コミュニティの最新版技術ニュースです。他の利用者にも下記の変更についてお伝えください。直接の影響はない項目も含まれる場合があります。このニュースは各言語に翻訳されています。

最近の更新

• Twinkle というガジェットがウィキペディア英語版で利用されています。メンテナンスと巡回に役立つガジェットです。このたび、他のウィキでも利用できるようになりました。ご利用のウィキに Twinkle を導入するときは、GitHub リポジトリのtwinkle-starter をご利用ください。

問題点

• コンテンツ翻訳ツールが一時的に多くの記事で動作しませんでした。バグが原因によるものです。 [173]
• 5月5日におよそ1分間、特定の操作ができなくなる見込みです。予定時間は06:00 UTC前後です。コンテンツ翻訳ツールや通知機能をはじめとする幾つかの機能が影響を受けます。クラッシュを予防するためのアップグレードを行うためです。 [174]

今週の更新

• 参考資料プレビュー は5月5日より、多くのウィキで既定の機能になる予定です。いくつかの変更があったため、実装が当初の予定より遅れました。この機能はページのプレビュー機能を使わずに利用することも可能です。当初の計画では、個人設定で両方の機能をまとめて有効または無効に切り替える予定でした。 [175][176]
• 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは5月4日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは5月5日に、その他のウィキには5月6日に展開されます（工程表はこちら）。

今後の予定

• CSS のクラス .error .warning .success は特に定義を行っていなければモバイル版閲覧環境で動作しません。6月以降はデスクトップ版の閲覧環境でも動作しなくなります。これにより、ガジェットやテンプレートに影響が出る可能性があります。クラスに対するスタイルをMediaWiki:Common.css やテンプレートスタイルで定義することは可能です。 [177]

同じカテゴリを重ねて付ける件について

M-30722と申します。「怪訝‎」や「訇然」で「Category:{{jpn}}」「Category:{{jpn}} {{noun}}」と全く同じ機能である「カテゴリ:日本語」「カテゴリ:日本語 名詞」を両方とも付けられておりますが、一般的にはどちらか片方だけで十分で、両方二重に付けるのは蛇足ではないかと思うのですが、これには何か意図があるのでしょうか？ --M-30722 (トーク) 2021年5月4日 (火) 10:02 (UTC)

@M-30722さん 初めまして, ご指摘ありがとうございます. テンプレートによってカテゴリが付与されるのですね. 特に意図したものではなく, 昔の自分の作成した (カテゴリの重複ミスのある) ページを型紙にして新規立項をしたために気付かないまま複数記事で重複が起きてしまいました. 以後はこのようなことが無い様万全に注意をいたします. 失礼いたしました. --Tmv (会話) 2021年5月4日 (火) 10:52 (UTC)

初心者が返信ツールを使用してトークページに投稿しようとした際、コメント投稿に成功した割合。(出典)

今年の年初め、編集チームは返信ツールの大規模研究を行いました。 主な目的としては、返信ツールが編集初心者のウィキにおけるコミュニケーションに役立っているかどうかを調べることが挙げられます。2つ目の目的は、新人編集者がこのツールを使って投稿したコメントが既存のwikitextエディタによるコメントよりも不適切なものが多いか調べることでした。

主な結果 :

• Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
• また、編集初心者が返信ツールで行ったコメントは、ページ編集でのコメントよりも取り消し・巻き戻しされる可能性が低いという結果が出ました。

この結果により、Editingチームはこのツールが役立っていると確信しました。

今後の予定

チームは今後数ヶ月で、返信ツールをオプトアウトで全員が利用できるように計画しています。この機能はアラビア語・チェコ語・ハンガリー語版ウィキペディアで先行的に実装されています。

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

現在、ベータ機能として「議論ツール」を有効にできます。返信ツールを導入した後は、Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussionでいつでも設定を変更することができます。

[更新を通知] ボタンがある場合、返信までの時間が短縮されます。

新設した[更新を通知] ボタンとは、（議論ページで）自分の投稿に誰かが返信したという通知を送ります。 編集初学者にとって、質問の答えが得やすくなります。つまり返事が早めに届くからです。 レポートの詳細をご参照ください。 編集機能チームではこのツールをどなたでも利用できるように既定にする予定です。不用の場合は利用者ごとに個人設定で無効にしてください。
