Tech News: 2025-33

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

Updates for editors

• The WikiEditor toolbar now includes its keyboard shortcuts in the tooltips for its buttons. This will help to improve the discoverability of this feature. [1]
• The Product and Technology Advisory Council published a set of proposed experiments the Wikimedia Foundation can try to improve communication with community. Feedback on the proposals are welcomed until August 22 on this talk page.
• The search bar on the Minerva skin (mobile) has been updated to use the same type-ahead search component that is used on the Vector 2022 skin. There are no changes in search functionality but there are minor visual changes. Specifically, the close-search button has been changed from an "X" to a back arrow. This helps to distinguish it from the other "X" button that is used to clear any text. [2]
• Editors on some wikis will see a new toggle for "Group results by page" on watchlist, related changes, and recent changes pages. This is an A/B experiment that is planned to start on August 11, and will run for 3–6 weeks on the Bengali, Chinese, Czech, French, Greek, Portuguese, and Urdu Wikipedias. The experiment will examine how making this feature more discoverable might affect editors' ability to find the edits they are looking for. [3]
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• The multiwiki datasets of Unicode data have been moved to Category:Unicode Module Datasets on Wikimedia Commons, to follow the idea of "One common data source, multiple local wikis". Most wikis have been updated to use the Commons version. You can ask questions at the talkpage. [4]
• Lua code can add warnings when something is wrong, by using the mw.addWarning() function. It is now possible to add more than one warning, instead of new warnings replacing old ones. If you maintain a Lua module that used warnings, you should check it still works as expected. [5]
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Category:Dienst_Domeinen

Dienst Domeinen has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Crocs

Hello Donald Trung, the spelling is incorrect. It should read something like: Crocs store at the "Beurstraverse" or "Koopgoot". Cheers. Lotje (talk) 13:32, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I'm not a file mover, I sometimes overlook spelling mistakes (or often an incorrect auto-correct by the Google Keyboard ⌨️) and don't correct it because it is quite difficult to request a page move on a mobile device, for whatever reason the GUI is made for desktop computers and all the letters are tiny and it doesn't work well with mobile devices. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:35, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

@Lotje: , forgot to ping. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:35, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

No worries, I'll do it for you :-) Lotje (talk) 13:41, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Off the record

@Donald Trung: , have you ever come across a 1850 coin like this? Cheers. Lotje (talk) 12:25, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

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