- TheaterEncyclopedie ID (An item of the TheaterEncyclopedie)
- relates to sustainable development goal, target or indicator (indicates a relation between the subject and the SDGs or one of the components)
- student count by gender (I think there should be a way to document the number of students at a university by their gender, as data for student counts (at least if they come from GENESIS Online - german universities) contain that data divided in male and female students. I think it would make more sense to implement that as a qualifier for {{P|2196}} than implementing it as a new property as that wouldn't make old data obsolete, but also it could interfere with tools that retrieve that data automated and are then confused by having multiple counts at the same time.)
- has semantic role (item that describes a role in an event class)
- model for (2) (what the subject is a conceptual or scientific model/theory for)
- Dynasty (A dynasty is a sequence of rulers from the same family, usually in the context of a monarchy or imperial system but sometimes also appearing in republics.

- 现在,深色模式测试功能可以在分类、帮助页面以及更多特殊页面上使用。请留意可能存在对比问题。如果您发现任何错误,请在项目讨论页回报。 [16]
问题
上周,维基媒体云服务中断了25分钟。这是由于数据中心的缆线故障所致。 [17]

本周更改
MediaWiki的新版本将于6月18日部署至测试维基及MediaWiki.org,于6月19日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科,并于6月20日部署至所有站点(参见日程表)。 [19][20]
- 从6月18日开始,“参考编辑检查”功能将部署至新一批维基百科。当用户新增内容至维基百科条目时,若未附上引注,此功能将请他们新增引注,借此来协助新手并辅助巡查工作。在涵盖11个维基的测试中,当向用户显示“参考检查”时,新增的引注数量增加了一倍以上。“参考检查”可由社群自行配置。 [21]
- 本周二(18日),维基媒体邮件列表将于10:00至12:00 UTC期间暂停服务约两个小时。这是为了迁移至新服务器并升级其软件。 [22]

2024年第29期技术新闻
维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改;不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
技术新闻调查
- 邀请您填写这份简短问卷调查,协助我们改善技术新闻。本次调查旨在更有效地满足阅读技术新闻的各类读者的需求。本次调查还会开放3天。本次调查适用这份隐私声明。本次调查提供其他语言的翻译版本。
最近更改
维基媒体开发者现在可以正式继续使用Gerrit和GitLab,基于维基媒体基金会于6月24日决定支持在这两个平台共同进行软件开发。Gerrit和GitLab皆是开发者用来编写、审查和部署软件代码的代码储存库,而这些代码支撑著MediaWiki——用于建构维基专案,也是编辑者用于创建和改进内容的工具。这项决定将保障开发者们的生产力,并避免code review——代码审查方面的问题影响用户。更多详情请见迁移状态页面。
- 维基媒体基金会诚征产品与技术咨询委员会(PTAC)申请人。该小组将汇集技术贡献者与维基媒体基金会,共同开发一个更具弹性、与时俱进的技术平台。委员会成员将对维基媒体运动的产品与技术活动进行评估与咨询,以便我们开发多代的项目。我们正在寻找来自世界各地具有不同项目经验的技术贡献者。请于8月10日前在此申请。
- 持有回退权的编辑者可以在Android版维基百科App使用新的编辑巡查功能。这些功能包括最近更改的新动态、撤销和回退等相关链接,以及创建和保存个人的用户讨论消息库以供巡查时使用。如果您所在的wiki希望向没有回退权但编辑次数达到一定门槛的用户提供这些功能,您可以联络团队。更多关于此项目,请参阅Diff文章。
- 在基金会进行联络沟通后,有权访问维基百科图书馆的编辑者再度能使用SpringerLinks中的非开放访问内容。延伸阅读上周完成的22个社群提交工单。
本周更改
- 本周,深色模式将供多个维基百科使用,无论桌面版或移动版,用户登录或未登录。敬请界面管理员和用户脚本维护人员在深色模式下检查小工具和用户脚本,查找任何写死的颜色并修复它们。有一些深色模式兼容性建议可供参考。
未来更改
下周,邀请工作人员、志愿工具维护者和软件开发团队在测试维基上测试临时账号功能。临时账号功能有助于改善wiki上的隐私保护。目前未有其他进一步的部署安排。欢迎在项目讨论页发表意见和提出疑问。 [36]
- 邀请跨维基上传文件或教导他人如此操作的编辑者,参与维基共享资源上的讨论。共享资源社群正在讨论将能够通过跨维基上传功能(或称上传对话框)上传文件的用户,限缩为维基共享资源上的自动确认用户。这是因为通过这种方式上传的文件大量侵犯了著作权。Commons:跨维基上传有简短摘要,讨论位于Commons:互助客栈。

2024年第30期技术新闻
维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改;不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
功能周报
- 监管员现在可以对账号实施全域封禁。在此更改之前,全域封禁仅能针对IP地址和IP范围实施。不同于全域锁定,全域账号封禁不会将被封禁的用户登出。全域锁定不受此更改影响。新的全域账号封禁功能与临时账号项目有关,这种新型态的用户账号用于取代未注册编辑者的IP地址,使其不再公开可见。
- 本周稍晚,FlaggedRevs(标记修订,又称“待定更改”)的界面将得到改进,与MediaWiki的其他界面及维基媒体设计系统Codex保持一致。移动设备和Minerva皮肤上的FlaggedRevs界面体验原本与他处不一致,后经由Growth团队和一些志愿者修复并移植到Codex。 [37]
- 维基媒体网站用户现在可以通过GlobalVanishRequest提交账号隐退请求。当贡献者希望永远停止编辑时,可以使用此功能。它可以帮您隐藏过去的关联和编辑,以保护您的隐私。一旦处理完成,该账号将被锁定并重新命名。 [38]
- 您试过使用手机监控和应对维基百科中的破坏行为吗?一篇关于移动应用程序中的巡查功能的Diff文章重点介绍了一些新功能,包括滑动浏览最近更改动态以及个人化的用户讨论消息库,供使用手机巡查时使用。
- 维基媒体贡献者和GLAM机构(美术馆、图书馆、档案馆及博物馆)现在可以使用“共享资源影响力指标”分析面板,了解与衡量维基共享资源对于创建高品质百科全书内容的影响。该面板提供诸如分类每月编辑数、浏览量最高的文件、使用共享资源图片的维基条目等方面的分析。有了这些新的数据转储,GLAM机构可以更精准衡量将内容引入数位共享资源的投资回报率。 [39]
项目近况
- 快来在崭新重启的社群愿望清单分享您对改善维基的想法。社群愿望清单是供志愿者分享他们改善维基运作方式的想法(称为愿望)的维基媒体论坛。新版愿望清单始终开放,wikitext和可视化编辑器皆可使用,并允许以任何语言提交愿望。
增广见闻
- 你有没有想过维基媒体软件如何支持300多种语言?这比Google Chrome的界面多了253种语言,而这绝非偶然。维基媒体基金会的语言与产品在地化团队通过调整所有工具和界面,使其适应您的语言和其他语言,为您提供支持。阅读Diff文章了解更多关于该团队及其即将开展的工作。
- 维基媒体如何在维护如此频繁使用的网站之时,同时建构创新和实验性的产品?维基媒体基金会职员Johan Jönsson近期发表的一篇Diff文章,重点介绍了基金会的“未来受众”计划的工作,其目标不是建构完善的产品,而是测试新的想法,例如ChatGPT插件和“加入事实”等,帮助维基媒体走向未来。
