Tech News: 2018-02

最新技术新闻来自维基媒体技术社群。请将这些更新转告其他用户。不是所有的变化都将影响您。翻译亦已提供。

最近更新

• 当您在维基数据上编辑时，“保存”按钮现已改称“发布”。这意味着所有维基媒体wiki现已从“保存编辑”改称“发布更改”。这是为了帮助新编辑者理解它的用途。 [1][2]
• 部分编辑将在所有wiki获得自动标签。这会在将页面重定向、清空页面、移除几乎所有内容、撤销一次编辑或回退一次编辑时发生。您可以在最近更改订阅、条目历史、用户贡献或在您的监视列表中查看标签。一些wiki已通过其他方式对其标记。 [3]
• Special:UnusedFiles显示已更新但未使用的文件。它将显示在上传的wiki上未使用的文件，即便它在另一wiki上使用。共享资源上新版Special:GloballyUnusedFiles页面只显示在任何wiki上都未使用的文件。 [4]
• 结构式讨论现已使用2017版wiki文本编辑器，而不是旧有自定义编辑器。这可以通过您的参数设置，在wiki文本或可视化编辑器之间切换。文档现已更新。 [5][6]

问题

• 移动设备上的旧版本Chrome浏览器可能看到PDF下载按钮，但无法工作。开发人员正在调查这一问题。 [7]
• 由于最近更改中的新过滤器，在12月13日~1月2日期间“命名空间”中的“排除选项”不能在“已保存的过滤器”中正常工作。该问题现已修复。如果您在12月13日~1月2日期间对您已保存的过滤器做出任何更改的和，您需要再次排除名字空间，然后保存您的过滤器。 [8]
• 最新版本Google Chrome损坏了章节链接在地址栏中显示方式。您现在会看到#R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9而不是#Résumé（法语示例），即便MediaWiki并未如此编码。这在12月上旬发生。该问题现已修复，但需等到Chrome 64（1月23日）或Chrome 65（3月6日）更新时才能正常工作。 [9]
• 一些对API的POST请求在12月一些时候消耗了更长时间。这尤其涉及维基数据UI及一些小工具。现已修复。 [10]

本周晚些时候的更新

• 维基数据将移动到自己的数据库服务器。这是因为它在不断成长，并需要更多资源。由于这个原因，于1月9日06:00~06:30（UTC）期间，您将只能阅读，无法编辑维基数据和德语维基百科。您在此期间尝试做出保存会使您的编辑丢失。这包括在其他wiki上编辑语言链接。 [11]
• 编辑窗口中的字体大小将对一些用户做出显著更新。这将在所有浏览器和操作系统上具有相同视觉效果。 [12][13]
• MediaWiki的新版本将于1月9日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于1月10日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于1月11日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。
• Wiki编辑器的ResourceLoader模块已简化为一个：ext.wikiEditor。所有其他模块现已作为弃用别名，并应当移除。 [14]

会议

• 您可以参与下一次编辑团队的会议。在会议中您可以告知开发人员哪些问题是最重要的。会议将于1月9日 at 19:30（UTC）开始。参见如何加入。
• 您可以参与IRC上的技术咨询会议。在会议中志愿开发者可以征求意见。会议将于1月10日 16:00（UTC）开始。参见如何加入。

最新技术新闻来自维基媒体技术社群。请将这些更新转告其他用户。不是所有的变化都将影响您。翻译亦已提供。

最近更新

• 行政员现在默认可以添加和移除账户创建者权限。这意味着用户可以帮助创建大量账户，例如用于编辑松活动。如有需要个别wiki可以申请更改设置。 [26]
• 维基数据破坏面板是一个监视维基数据标签和描述破坏的新工具。它按语言过滤。 [27]
• 用于文件页面的信息页面现在会在基本信息表中显示文件的SHA1哈希值。这样用户可以确认显示的文件与其上传的文件相同。 [28]

问题

• Special:Export现在有较高失误率。这意味着导出文件不总是能工作。您应当检查以确保您的页面导出正常工作。开发人员正在修复这一问题。 [29]

本周晚些时候的更新

• 当您使用可视化编辑器编辑时，您可以看到可视化更改差异，就像wiki文本差异那样。如果您挑选一个差异类型，它将记住设置，并在今后按照您的设置显示。可视化差异现作为对新用户首先显示的类型。 [30]
• 当您使用图库显示图片时，您可以定义大小，例如gallery widths="150px"。您可以使用em或%而不是px，但这没有影响。您现在只可以使用150px或不加后缀（150）。如果您写入其他后缀，目前将不会当成px，而是无法工作。 [31]
• 当您发送感谢消息时，用词将会更新。是或否将改称感谢和取消。这也将更容易理解所有感谢都是公开感谢。 [32]
• 连接到维基数据的重定向会导致双重的维基数据项。现将因此拥有追踪分类。不需要该分类的wiki可以禁用它。 [33]
• MediaWiki的新版本将于2月6日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于2月7日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于2月8日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。

会议

• 您可以参与下一次编辑团队的会议。在会议中您可以告知开发人员哪些问题是最重要的。会议将于2月6日 19:30（UTC）开始。参见如何加入。
• 您可以参与IRC上的技术咨询会议。在会议中志愿开发者可以征求意见。会议将于2月7日 16:00（UTC）开始。参见如何加入。

将来更新

• 教育扩展将于6月30日移除。它已被计划和活动面板取代。 [34][35]

Wikidata weekly summary #300

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

• Welcome to the 300th Weekly Summary!

The weekly newsletter was started by Lydia at the very beginning of the Wikidata project, even before the first deployment, to keep the community informed about the developments, the new projects and tools. More than five years later, the newsletter is still there, its content powered by the community, and sent every week all along the years. I wanted to say a warm "thank you!" to each person who helped filling the Weekly Summary <3

Over the past years, as you know, Wikidata has grown a lot. More data, more tools, more editors and reusers, more exciting projects led by the community. The Weekly Summary has evolved with us, and the 300th edition seems a good moment to ask you all your suggestions about the newsletter, how it could continue evolving, and how you would like to improve it.

On that purpose, you can find a feedback page to express all your ideas about the Weekly Summary. We're very interested to know more about your reading habits, the parts you're more or less interested in, the new topics you would like to share with the community. Thanks in advance for filling it.

I stay available anytime to discuss with you, feel free to contact me if you have any question or concern! Cheers, Léa

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-14

The winner this Translation of the week is en:History of hearing aids Please be bold and help to translation this article! The first hearing aid was created in the 17th century. The movement toward modern hearing aids began with the creation of the telephone, and the first electric hearing aid was created in 1898. By the late 20th century, the digital hearing aid was distributed to the public commercially. Some of the first hearing aids were external hearing aids. External hearing aids directed sounds in front of the ear and blocked all other noises. The apparatus would fit behind or in the ear. The invention of the carbon microphone, transmitters, digital signal processing chip or DSP, and the development of computer technology helped transform the hearing aid to its present form.

• 以.json结尾的用户子页面现将对其他人保护，只允许本人编辑，就像.js和.css那样。如果您有存储静态配置的工具，您现在可以使用类似User:Example/mygadget.json的子页面来进行。 [88]
• Tidy将在下一批wiki中替换为RemexHtml。于4月4日，我们计划在所有维基语录（除了法语维基语录）及维基媒体分会和用户组wiki上关闭Tidy。23个wiki将替换掉Tidy。 [89][90][91]
• 防滥用过滤器将于4月4日起改用OOUI，且规则编辑器也将更改为代码编辑器（就像编辑用户JavaScript页面那样）。迁移到OOUI的过程将在接下来数周继续完成。 [92] [93]
• 在Special:Preferences中，“当一条过滤器规则被更改时，自动重新加载监视列表”参数现在只有关闭了用于最近更改的新过滤器的用户可见。 [94]
• 您可以在Special:AbuseLog查看单个防滥用过滤器名称。现在如果名称包含一些wiki语法（例如链接），那么显示时将不再转换为链接。 [95]
• 您现在可以通过Special:AbuseFilter的过滤器模型搜索。您可以指定纯字符串或正则表达式，并且匹配的过滤器将显示模型片段，匹配部分会高亮显示。 [96]

会议

• 您可以参与下一次编辑团队的会议。在会议中您可以告知开发人员哪些问题是最重要的。会议将于4月3日 18:30（UTC）开始。参见如何加入。
• 您可以参与IRC上的技术咨询会议。在会议中志愿开发者可以征求意见。会议将于4月4日 15:00（UTC）开始。参见如何加入。

将来更新

• 如果您正在使用、创建或改进Lua模块，您可以提供反馈以帮助跨wiki协调模块，并添加更多实用功能。
• 4月11日，我们计划在所有少于50个高优先级linter分类的wiki上关闭Tidy。约60个wiki将替换掉Tidy。 目前有将近600个wiki已替换掉Tidy，还剩300个wiki。我们计划在2018年6月末完成从Tidy迁移到RemexHtml的工作。请关注T175706查阅Tidy替换工作的进度。 [97][98]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-16

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope Please be bold and help to translation this article! The Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope, is the oldest continuously existing scientific institution in South Africa. Founded by the British Cape Colony in 1820, it now forms the headquarters building of the South African Astronomical Observatory. The institution was located on a small hill 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south-east from the centre of Cape Town. Over the following century a suburb of the city grew up in the area; the suburb was named Observatory after the pre-existing Royal Observatory. It has also been the subject of an ICOMOS/IAU Case Study for World Heritage Site.

本周晚些时候的更新

• 用于防滥用过滤器的性能分析统计会告知编辑匹配过滤器的频率。用于防滥用过滤器的统计此前在10000次操作后会重置。现在wiki可以决定延长或缩短重置周期。他们可以在phabricator提交任务来做出请求。 [106]
• 防滥用过滤器现在会更加精确地对待整数和浮点数。例如5/2此前会四舍五入为2，但现在会视为2.5，另外2*4现在会视为整数8，而不是浮点数8.0。除法值是唯一会更改的值。此外只有严格比较式（===和!==）将受到影响，但保持值不变。 [107][108]
• MediaWiki的新版本将于4月17日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于4月18日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于4月19日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。

Within evolutionary biology, signalling theory is a body of theoretical work examining communication between individuals, both within species and across species. The central question is when organisms with conflicting interests, such as in sexual selection, should be expected to provide honest signals (no presumption being made of conscious intention) rather than cheating. Mathematical models describe how signalling can contribute to an evolutionarily stable strategy. (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

最近更新

• You can now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [129][130]
• 被封禁的流動電話使用者將會更容易看見為何他們被封禁。 [131]
• 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. [132]
• 部分罕見的萬國碼字元已經被禁止用於頁面標題。相關字元包括軟連字號（U+00AD）和左至右符號（U+2066）與右至左符號（U+2067）。現存包含這些字元的頁面將會由腳本移動。 [133]
• 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. [134]

问题

• 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. [135]

本周晚些时候的更新

• 一個名為PasswordPolicies的特殊頁面將會被新增。該頁面提供關於該wiki上各使用者群組的密碼規定的資訊。 [136]
• A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [137]
• MediaWiki的新版本将于5月29日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于5月30日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于5月31日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [138]

会议

• 您可以参与下一次编辑团队的会议。在会议中您可以告知开发人员哪些问题是最重要的。会议将于5月29日 18:30（UTC）开始。参见如何加入。
• 您可以参与IRC上的技术咨询会议。在会议中志愿开发者可以征求意见。会议将于5月30日 15:00（UTC）开始。参见如何加入。

将来更新

• 超過一年沒有更新的内容翻譯草稿將會被自動移除。這是為了讓其他使用者翻譯那些條目。 [139]
• A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [140]
• 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. [141][142]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-28

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Missed call (es:Llamada perdida) (fr:Appel manqué) Please be bold and help to translation this article! A missed call is a telephone call that is deliberately terminated by the caller before being answered by its intended recipient, in order to communicate a pre-agreed message. It is a form of one-bit messaging. Missed calls are common in emerging markets where mobile phones with limited outgoing calls are widely-used; as the call is not actually completed and connected, it does not carry a cost to the caller, hence they can conserve their remaining prepaid credit. Specific patterns of consecutive missed calls have been developed in some countries to denote specific messages. Missed calls are also referred to in some parts of Africa as beeping, memancing (fishing) in Indonesia, flashing in Nigeria, a flashcall in Pakistan, and a miskol in the Philippines.

Tech News: 2018-28

維基媒體技術社群發出最新技術新聞。請告知其他用戶以下變更。當然，未必所有變更都會影響閣下。翻譯本於此。

最近更改

• WebM影片檔案可以以更少檔案大小維持同等質素。不過創建WebM檔案需要更長時間。 [166]
• 監視列表之中，用以檢查編輯之新過濾器工具及界面將會完成測試。原本預期可以更早部署，不過有所延誤。大部份站點會於7月9日部署，其餘就會7月16日部署。 [167]
• 所有站點已經使用Remex解析器取代Tidy。而這可能會產生錯誤。請協助修正。 [168]

問題

• 當回退編輯時會同時被標籤為回退及復原。此問題已經修正。 [169]
• 巡查豁免者回退編輯時並沒有獲得標記為已巡查，此問題已經修正。 [170]

本週後期變更

• 當使用可視化編輯器編輯連結時，將會提供兩個按鈕，一個可以用以更改連結，一個用以更改連結文字。 [171][172]
• 使用流動版檢視時，瀏覽用戶頁就會見到該編輯之貢獻紀錄連結。現在就算該用戶沒有建立用戶頁，亦會有相關連結。 [173]
• 當使用流動版於討論頁留言後，有時會自動簽署。現時如果已經手動簽署，則不會再自動簽署，以免重複簽署。 [174]
• 結構式討論工具欄將會有更多格式選項。 [175]
• 當使用Gerrit檢視維基媒體代碼時，將會有新界面，以助檢視者更易明白在發生什麼事。新用戶及開發人員均會預設啟用新界面。 [176]
• MediaWiki新版本將於7月10日部署至測試維基及MediaWiki.org，及於7月11日部署至非維基百科站點及部分维基百科，並於7月12日部署至所有站點，參見日曆。

會議

• 歡迎參與下週編輯團隊會議。會議上，可以告知開發人員那些問題是最重要。會議將於7月10日 18:30 (UTC)舉行。參加辦法見此。
• 歡迎參與在IRC上舉行之技術建議會議。會議上，義務開發人員可以獲取建議。會議將於7月11日 15:00 (UTC)舉行。參加辦法見此

將來更新

• 目前全體管理員均可以編輯站點CSS及JavaScript。將來將會交由新設用戶組處理。管理員將不會再自動獲得相關權限。如果容許全體管理員編輯JavaScript，但是其根本不諳編程或者沒打算編輯，那就會對站點構成威脅。詳情請閱此頁。 [177]
• 新帳戶將會預設啟用頁面預覽（此功能會令鼠標指向連結時彈出框框供人預覽該頁內容）。 [178]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-29

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Jane Horney Please be bold and help to translation this article! "Jane" Ebba Charlotta Horney (married Granberg), (8 July 1918 – 20 January 1945) was a Swedish woman, believed to have spied in Denmark for the benefit of Nazi Germany, and to have been killed by the Danish resistance movement on a fishing boat at Øresund, but it has never been confirmed for which nation she actually worked. The Gestapo in Denmark believed that she was an agent for the British or Soviet Union, and after World War II it was denied that she had been a Gestapo agent. Abwehr officers likewise denied, when inquired by Säpo (Swedish intelligence), that she had been their agent.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-30

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Evelyn Mase Please be bold and help to translation this article! Evelyn Mase (18 May 1922 – 30 April 2004) was a South African nurse, who was the first wife of the anti-apartheid activist and future politician Nelson Mandela, to whom she was married from 1944 to 1958. She was the mother of four of his children, including Makgatho Mandela and Makaziwe Mandela. She met Mandela through her cousin Walter Sisulu and his wife Albertina, subsequently marrying him at the Native Commissioner's Court. Living together as a family in Soweto, they raised four children. However, their relationship came under strain as Mandela became increasingly involved in the African National Congress. Eschewing politics, she became a Jehovah's Witness. Accusing him of adultery, they divorced in 1958, and he went on to marry Winnie Mandela that year. Taking the children, she moved to Cofimvaba and opened a grocery store, but appeared in the South African press when Mandela was released. In 1998 she married a Sowetan businessman Simon Rakeepile.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-32

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Vinkensport Please be bold and help to translation this article! Vinkensport (Dutch for "finch sport") is a competitive animal sport in which male common chaffinches are made to compete for the highest number of bird calls in an hour. Also called vinkenzetting ("finch sitting"), it is primarily active in the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in Belgium. Vinkensport traces its origins to competitions held by Flemish merchants in 1596, and is considered part of traditional Flemish culture. As of 2007, it was estimated that there are over 13,000 enthusiasts, called vinkeniers ("finchers"), breeding 10,000 birds every year. Animal rights activists have opposed the sport for much of its history.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-35

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Ice algae Please be bold and help to translation this article! File:Thurber algae.jpg Ice algae are any of the various types of algal communities found in annual and multi-year sea or terrestrial ice. On sea ice in polar regions of the oceans, ice algae communities play an important role in primary production. The timing of blooms of the algae is especially important for supporting higher trophic levels at times of the year when light is low and ice cover still exists. Sea ice algal communities are mostly concentrated in the bottom layer of the ice, but can also occur in brine channels within the ice, in melt ponds, and on the surface. Because terrestrial ice algae occur in freshwater systems, the species composition differs greatly from that of sea ice algae. These communities are significant in that they often change the color of glaciers and ice sheets, impacting the reflectivity of the ice itself.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-43

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Invasion of Åland Please be bold and help to translation this article! The Invasion of Åland was a 1918 military campaign of World War I in the Åland Islands, Finland. The islands occupied by the proto-Soviet Union (Soviet Russia) were first invaded by Kingdom of Sweden in late February and then by the German Empire in early March. The conflict was also related to the Finnish Civil War including minor fighting between the Finnish Whites and the Finnish Reds. As Germany took control over Åland in March 1918, Russian troops were captured and the Swedish troops left the islands by the end of the Finnish Civil War in May. The Germans stayed in Åland until September 1918. The Åland Islands dispute was then turned over to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 and the League of Nations in 1920. The Åland convention was finally signed in 1921 re-establishing the demilitarised status of Åland as an autonomous part of Finland.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-47

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Moravec's paradox Please be bold and help to translation this article! Moravec's paradox is the discovery by artificial intelligence and robotics researchers that, contrary to traditional assumptions, high-level reasoning requires very little computation, but low-level sensorimotor skills require enormous computational resources. The principle was articulated by Hans Moravec, Rodney Brooks, Marvin Minsky and others in the 1980s. As Moravec writes, "it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility".

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-49

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Hiroshima Maidens Please be bold and help to translation this article! The Hiroshima Maidens are a group of 25 Japanese women who were school age girls when they were seriously disfigured as a result of the thermal flash of the fission bomb dropped on Hiroshima on the morning of August 6, 1945. They subsequently went on a highly publicized journey to get reconstructive surgery in the US in 1955. Keloid scars from their burns marred their faces and many of their hand burns healed into bent claw-like positions. These women, as well as the other citizens affected by the A-bomb, were referred to as hibakusha, meaning "explosion-affected people".

Tech News: 2018-50

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

Changes later this week

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

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• 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. [258][259]
• 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. [260]
