If your wiki uses markup like <div class="mw-content-ltr">or<div class="mw-content-rtl">without the requireddirattribute, then these will no longer work in 2 weeks. There is a short-term fix that can be added to your local wiki's Common.css page, which is explained at T287701. From now on, all usages should include the full attributes, for example:<div class="mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr" lang="en">or<div class="mw-content-rtl" dir="rtl" lang="he">. This also applies to some other HTML tags, such asspanorcode. You can find existing examples on your wiki that need to be updated, using the instructions at T287701.- Reminder: Wikimedia has migrated to the Libera Chat IRC network, from the old Freenode network. Local documentation should be updated.
Problems
- Last week, all wikis had slow access or no access for 30 minutes. There was a problem with generating dynamic lists of articles on the Russian Wikinews, due to the bulk import of 200,000+ new articles over 3 days, which led to database problems. The problematic feature has been disabled on that wiki and developers are discussing if it can be fixed properly. [1][2]
Changes later this week
- When adding links to a page using VisualEditor or the 2017 wikitext editor, disambiguation pages will now only appear at the bottom of search results. This is because users do not often want to link to disambiguation pages. [3]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 August. It will be on all wikis from 5 August (calendar).
Future changes
- The team of the Wikipedia app for Android is working on communication in the app. The developers are working on how to talk to other editors and get notifications. You can read more. They are looking for users who want to test the plans. Any editor who has an Android phone and is willing to download the app can do this.
- The Beta Feature for Diskusjonsverktøy will be updated in the coming weeks. You will be able to subscribe to individual sections on a talk page at more wikis. You can test this now by adding
?dtenable=1to the end of the talk page's URL (example).

Problems
- You can read but not edit 17 wikis for a few minutes on 10 August. This is planned at 05:00 UTC. This is because of work on the database. [4]

<div class="visualClear"></div>will not be supported after 12 August. Instead, templates and pages should use<div style="clear:both;"></div>. Please help to replace any existing uses on your wiki. There are global-search links available at T287962.
Future changes
- The Wikipedia Library is a place for Wikipedia editors to get access to sources. There is an extension which has a new function to tell users when they can take part in it. It will use notifications. It will start pinging the first users in September. It will ping more users later. [5]

Nyhetsbrev nr. 22 fra Wikimedia Norge rediger
Hei, her kommer siste nytt fra Wikimedia Norge!
- Arctic Knot – en stor suksess
- Det siste vi gjorde før sommerferien var å gjennomføre Arctic Knot-konferansen. Vi har brukt store deler av 2021 på å forberede oss, og vi gjennomførte to bra dager med mye engasjement. De fleste videoene fra konferansen er tilgjengelige i denne spillelista på YouTube.
- 13.–17. august: Wikimania
- I morgen starter Wikimania, og siste frist for å melde seg på er rundt midnatt i kveld. Wikimania går over 5 dager, og programmet er tilpasset flere tidssoner, det vil si at noe foregår på dagtid og noe på kveldstid. Det er veldig mange spennende innslag!
- Wikimedia Norge deltar med en workshop. Workshoppen har som mål å jobbe videre med ideen om å skape en hub for urfolk- og underrepresenterte språk. Alle er hjertelige velkommen til å delta.
- Neste wikitreff: 25. august
- Høstens første wikitreff handler om Abstract Wikipedia. Vi ser presentasjonen fra Denny Vrandečić til Arctic Knot-konferansen sammen, og etterpå/underveis kan vi diskutere. Wikitreffet foregår på Google Meet, og begynner klokka 17.00. Abstract Wikipedia er enkelt forklart en måte å skrive artikler som funksjoner, sånn at de blir uavhengige av språk.
- Verdens urfolksdag
- 9. august markeres verdens urfolksdag. I den anledning skrev vi et blogginnlegg, basert på noen av presentasjonen fra Artic Knot.
- Wikipedia 20 år
- Vi har fått videohilsener til 20-årsmarkeringen for Wikipedia fra statsråder og sametingspresidenten. Du kan se videoene her. Hilsenene er til alle dere som har bidratt på Wikipedia i løpet av de 20 årene den har eksistert – takk for innsatsen!
- Wikipedia på bokmål fyller 20 år i november. På wikitreffet i november vil vi markere dette, mer informasjon kommer.

Recent changes
- You can add language links in the sidebar in the new Vector skin again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet. [7]
Problems
- There was a problem on wikis which use the Translate extension. Translations were not updated or were replaced with the English text. The problems have been fixed. [8][9][10]
Changes later this week
- A revision tag will soon be added to edits that add links to disambiguation pages. This is because these links are usually added by accident. The tag will allow editors to easily find the broken links and fix them. If your wiki does not like this feature, it can be hidden. [11]
- Would you like to help improve the information about tools? Would you like to attend or help organize a small virtual meetup for your community to discuss the list of tools? Please get in touch on the Toolhub Quality Signal Sessions talk page. We are also looking for feedback from tool maintainers on some specific questions.
- In the past, edits to any page in your user talk space ignored your mute list, e.g. sub-pages. Starting this week, this is only true for edits to your talk page. [12]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 August. It will be on all wikis from 19 August (calendar).
