Parsoid遷移作業
[编辑]大家好!我很高興地通知貴社群,作為解析器統一專案的下一步,Parsoid即將啟用成為此維基站點的預設條目渲染器。我們正在逐步增加使用Parsoid的維基站點數量,目的是讓Parsoid成為MediaWiki的下一個長期支援版本的預設wikitext解析器。這將使我們的維基對編輯者、讀者和工具來說更加穩定可靠,同時也使未來的wikitext功能開發更加容易。
如果這項遷移作業會打亂您的工作流程,請不用擔心!您仍然可以透過使用者偏好設定選擇退出;或透過「工具」側邊欄在當前頁面上關閉Parsoid(如Extension:ParserMigration說明文件所述)。
參閱關於我們的推出策略的更多資訊,包括為新維基站點啟用Parsoid之前所做的測試。
若要回報錯誤和問題,請先參閱我們的已知問題說明文件;如果您發現新的錯誤,請在Phabricator中建立工單並標記Content Transform團隊。

- Parsoid的字詞轉換系統這麼快就寫出來了……? ——魔琴[留言 贡献 PJ:小學 PJ:兩岸] 2026年4月18日 (六) 22:23 (UTC)
- (zh)
.mw-parser-output的lang屬性不再是zh-Hant-TW等本地化變體,而是統一爲zh,這是預期現象嗎?這可能導致個性化字體設置出現問題。
(en, Gemini, edited) Thelangattribute of.mw-parser-outputis no longer localized variants such aszh-Hant-TW, but has been unified tozh. Is this intended? This may lead to issues with personalized font settings. ——魔琴[留言 贡献 PJ:小學 PJ:兩岸] 2026年4月18日 (六) 22:30 (UTC)- 原先有计划用一个新轮子mw:LangConv,但大概因为复杂度放弃了吧。现在的实现是让原来的LC支持Parsoid了。
您说的lang属性问题是phab:T423747。--Srapoj(留言) 2026年4月19日 (日) 03:00 (UTC)

Did you know?
- Query examples:

Development
- Mobile statement editing: We are continuing to improve the UX and fix issues uncovered in testing
- Making WikiProjects more visible: We are working on adding links to the sidebar menu of Items to make it easier for people to find the WikiProject(s) associated with an Item, find like-minded people and learn about data modelling conventions etc in that particular area

- Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects: We are continuing our experiment to further reduce the amount of Wikidata changes that show up on Recent changes and Watchlist but don't actually change the article. Specifically we are looking at checking if there is any difference in the rendered article before and after the change coming from Wikidata
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.
Weekly Tasks

- Reading Challenge: As part of the 25th birthday celebrations, Wikipedia Mobile Apps launched a limited-time feature, the 25-day reading challenge with Baby Globe. This challenge encourages a daily habit of reading one Wikipedia article. The goal is to motivate users to come back to the app regularly.
- Latest experiments: One upcoming experiment is introducing the Incident Reporting System (IRS) to help contributors easily find the right place to seek help when facing harassment or other issues. See all live, upcoming, and completed experiments in Product & Technology.
- Change in how new users are autoconfirmed: The account age for autoconfirmed users will now start from their first edit, not the registration date. This is to avoid exploitation by vandals. This change will only apply to wikis that require at least one edit for autoconfirmation.
- Organized Reading lists: All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the “automatically enable most beta features” option can now use the reading lists beta feature. This lets you save articles for later reading and keep it organized in one place for easy access.
- Thumbnail size preferences: Default thumbnail size preference for article content is now limited to three sizes: Small (180px), Regular (250px), and Large (400px). This change aims to improve performance and reduce strain on thumbnail services. Current preferences will shift to the nearest new size.
- Wikifunctions: To make the development of Abstract Wikipedia visible, the Foundation is requesting your input: which metrics about Abstract Wikipedia pages do you deem important?
- Tech News: The latest highlights from Tech News weeks 18 and 19 include improvements on Global Watchlist. See also the 62 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.

Development
- Tighter connection of the Wikibase Ecosystem: We've been working on making it possible to use Wikidata Items (and later from other Wikibase instances) as values in statements on other Wikibase instances. You can now try it out on a demo system or set up your own test instance to give it a try. More details in the announcement.
- Wikidata integration in the Wikimedia projects: We are continuing the work on showing less irrelevant changes on recent changes and watchlist on Wikipedia and co by trying to determine if an edit from Wikidata actually changed the rendered article or not
- Mobile statement editing:
- We worked on reducing the load for users with limited data
- We are continuing to fix issues uncovered in testing
- Making Wikiprojects more visible: We are getting ready for testing of the prototype. We'll be adding links to the respective Wikirojects on Item pages in the tools menu to make it easier for people to find the corresponding Wikiprojects. This is based on statements already on the Item such as specific external IDs.
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.
