Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 December. It will be on all wikis from 7 December (calendar).- Very old versions of the Opera Web browser are no longer supported. This means that technical development will not be tested to make sure it works with those Opera versions. Use Opera 15 or above or another browser if you have problems. [4]
Almost 170 wikis with no high-priority errors in Linter categories will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. A few larger wikis such as German and Italian Wikipedia will also make this switch. It will happen on 5 December. 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. [5][6]
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 5 December 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 6 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey will decide what the Community Tech team will work on next year. You can vote for wishes on the survey page until 10 December. You can see what has happened to last year's wishes on the 2016 results page.
- The Community Liaisons team at the Wikimedia Foundation is looking for active tech ambassadors. This is to make sure the Wikimedia communities get all the information they need about new features and can be involved in the technical development. [7]

Invitation to Blocking tools consultation rediger
Hello all,
The Wikimedia Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team invites all Wikimedians to discuss new blocking tools and improvements to existing blocking tools in December 2017 for development work in early 2018.
How can you help?
- Share your ideas on the discussion page or send an email to the Anti-Harassment Tools team.
- Spread the word that the consultation is happening; this is an important discussion for making decisions about improving the blocking tools.
- Help with translation.
- If you know of previous discussions about blocking tools that happened on your wiki, share the links.
We are looking forward to learning your ideas.

Siste endringer
- URLs that link to sections on Wikimedia wikis with non-Latin scripts have looked like this:
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия#.D0.98.D1.81.D1.82.D0.BE.D1.80.D0.B8.D1.8Finstead ofhttps://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия#История. This has now been fixed on all wikis. Old links will still work. [8] - En ny Emneknagg markerer redigeringer der en omdirigering ble skapt eller fjernet. Dette skjer uavhengig av hva den som redigerte skrev i sammendraget. Du kan f.eks. finne diesse emneknaggene i endringsvarslingen, artikkelhistorien, brukerbidragene eller på søkelista di. [9]
- Dersom du bruker Chrome på Android, kan du nå bruke „skriv til PDF“-funksjonen for lage en PDF-fil av en artikkel. [10]
- Filter by number of edits or filter by time range have been grouped on a same menu on the recent changes page if you use the new filters. The "Vis nye endringer siden $1" link is now more prominent. [11]
- Some of the web fonts that were provided by the Universal Language Selector extension are being removed. This is to reduce the load time on pages. The web fonts were added many years ago to help users read text in scripts which did not have fonts or had broken fonts. This is not the case any more. You can check the status page for a list of all web fonts and whether they are currently being used and especially for special requirements. [12]
Endringer denne uken
- Den nye versjonen av MediaWiki vil bli rullet ut på testwikier og MediaWiki.org fra og med 12. desember. Den vil være på ikke-wikipedia wikier og noen wikipediaer fra og med 13. desember. Den vil bli rullet ut på alle wikier fra og med 14. desember (kalender).
Møter
- Du kan bli med på møtet med VisualEditor-teamet. Under møtet kan du fortelle utviklerne hvilke problemer du mener er viktigst å fikse. Møtet vil være 12 desember kl. 19:30 (UTC). Se hvordan man kan bli med.
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 desember at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- You can discuss new or improved blocking tools with the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team. They will work on building better blocking tools. Leave comments on the talk page.

Tech News
- Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2018.
Problems
- When you import a page from another wiki the usernames of the users who edited the article on the wiki you imported it from are shown in the article history. This should link to the users on the original wiki. A script to fix this caused problems for Wikidata and German Wikipedia. It also created a large number of SUL accounts on wikis where editors had never edited. [13]
- Some bot owners got email about their bots logging in from a new computer. If this is from one or a couple of wikis, you can turn these messages off in your preferences on those wikis until the problem has been solved. If not, you can report more about the problem in Phabricator.
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either.
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 19 desember at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- Files on Commons will have structured metadata in the future. The developers are now looking for examples of different kinds of metadata to make sure they are aware of them when they build prototypes for structured data on Commons. You can read more and help by giving examples of interesting media files.
- The Structured Commons team are making sure Commons work with structured data. If you regularly contribute to Commons and Wikidata you can answer a survey that helps the team prioritise the tools that are important for the Commons and Wikidata communities. The survey ends on 22 December. You can read more on Commons. You can also help the team decide on better names for "captions" and "descriptions". This ends on 3 January 2018.
- The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey has now ended. You can see the results. They decide what the Community Tech team will work on next year.

Nyhetsbrev fra Wikimedia Norge rediger
Hei, Wikimedia Norge-medlemmer og andre bidragsytere, her er årets siste nyhetsbrev fra oss. Vi ønsker alle en god jul og et godt nytt år! 🎅
- Wikitreff 16. januar
- Tirsdag 16. januar 2018 klokken 1700, blir det wikitreff i Amalie Skram-salen på Litteraturhuset i Oslo. Innleder vil være Thomas Hylland Eriksen som beskriver av tema for møtet slik:
- «Wikipedia kan brukes som eksempel på mye, også menneskets enestående trang til kunnskap og innsikt. Imidlertid er det skjær i sjøen, blant annet monopolisering, relevans, fagidioti og kunnskapsfiendtlighet. I en slik verden er en institusjon som Wikipedia viktigere enn noensinne.»
- Meld deg gjerne på på denne siden! Møtet er gratis og åpent for alle. Reiseutgifter kan gjerne dekkes av Wikimedia Norge (ta kontakt med astrid@wikimedia.no).
- Wikistipend
- 15. februar er det søknadsfrist for wikistipend. Vi håper på mange spennende søknader!
- Årsmøte
- Årsmøtet til Wikimedia Norge blir på Samisk hus i Oslo den 3. mars 2018 kl 11. Vi planlegger både wikitreff, dronesafari og Wikidata-workshop samme helgen, så hold av datoene 2.–4 mars. Reiseutgifter kan dekkes for medlemmer i Wikimedia Norge. Vi kommer tilbake med mer info i neste nyhetsbrev.
- Nordsamisk Wikipedia
- Wikimedia Norge har i høst startet et prosjekt for å forbedre Wikipedia på nordsamisk. Vi har i løpet av høsten fått oversatt nettsida vår til nordsamisk, holdt undersøkelse blant nåværende og tidligere bidragsytere til wikien, planlagt samarbeid med diverse institusjoner og deltakelse på Márkomeannu og Riddu Riđđu. Dette arbeidet vil fortsette i 2018, og de som er interesserte kan melde seg på for oppdateringer om prosjektet her.
- Dette prosjektet er også det første der vi bruker Phabricator for prosjektstyring. Prosjektet kan følges her.
- Retriever og Bokhylla.no
- Tilganger til Retriever ble fordelt på nytt den 20. november 2017, og ny fordeling skjer 20. mai 2018. Vi minner om at vi også gjerne hjelper til med å søke om tilgang til bokhylla.no for wikipedianere med utenlandsk IP-adresse. Mer informasjon om tilganger finnes på denne siden.
- Wiki Loves Earth
- De internasjonale vinnerne av Wiki Loves Earth ble kåret 11. desember! Vi gratulerer med en norsk deltaker på 5. plass.
