Notizie tecniche: 2023-02

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.

Modifiche recenti

• Le modifiche recenti e le modifiche agli osservati speciali si possono filtrare in base alle etichette. Adesso si può scegliere se nascondere le modifiche a cui è stata applicata una determinata etichetta. In precedenza si poteva solo scegliere se restringere la ricerca alle modifiche a cui l'etichetta era stata applicata. [1]
• Speciale:PuntanoQui mostra tutte le pagine che puntano a una determinata pagina. È stato preparato un prototipo che consente di visualizzare i risultati in ordine alfabetico. Maggiori informazioni nel task su Phabricator.
• È ora possibile usare la funzione Ringrazia anche sulla pagina degli osservati speciali e dei contributi utente. [2]
• Le pagine wiki si rinominano tramite spostamento. Su Speciale:Sposta è stato aggiunto un menu a discesa che permette di selezionare i motivi di spostamento più frequenti senza doverli scrivere ogni volta. [3]
• Matrix è uno strumento che consente agli utenti di comunicare. Nelle pagine wiki si possono aggiungere dei link a Matrix tramite il nuovo prefisso matrix:. [4]
• I wiki multilingue hanno dei filtri su Speciale:UltimeModifiche che permettono di nascondere le traduzioni. I filtri non riguardavano le pagine di traduzione. Adesso è diventato possibile nascondere anche le modifiche alle sottopagine che sono pagine di traduzione. [5]

Modifiche di questa settimana

• L'anteprima in tempo reale del wikitesto è uno strumento che consente di visualizzare in tempo reale l'effetto delle modifiche che si fanno al wikitesto di una pagina. Lo strumento potrà essere usato da tutti gli utenti che usano l'editor di wikitesto del 2010. Il pulsante di attivazione sarà aggiunto nella barra degli strumenti dell'editor.
• A causa di un cambio di database, due gruppi di wiki saranno in modalità di sola lettura per qualche minuto intorno alle 07:00 UTC rispettivamente il 10 gennaio (primo gruppo) e il 12 gennaio (secondo gruppo).
• La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 10 gennaio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 11 gennaio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 12 gennaio (calendario).

Wikidata weekly summary #557

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

• Events
  • A citation hunt program was organized for secondary school students at IIS School in Dubai as part of the 74th Republic Day celebration of India. 16 students participated, with different mother tongues and from different states of India living as expatriates in Dubai. The goal was to increase references for Wikidata statements based on research. The students were introduced to the importance of protecting India's history on the internet, and were taught how to edit Wikipedia and Wikidata.

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.

Problemi

• La settimana scorsa alcuni utenti non hanno potuto eseguire l'accesso né modificare pagine per circa 15 minuti a causa di un problema coi dati di sessione. [12]

Modifiche di questa settimana

• La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 31 gennaio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 1 febbraio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 2 febbraio (calendario).

Modifiche future

• I wiki che hanno uno schema di numerazione delle note personalizzato devono modificare i propri fogli di stile CSS per uniformare l'aspetto dei numeri delle citazioni in tutte le modalità di lettura e modifica. Gli sviluppatori daranno una mano a sistemare i CSS a partire dal 5 febbraio. Se il tuo wiki preferisce fare da sé, leggi maggiori informazioni nella pagina di aiuto su mw.org e inserisci il nome del tuo wiki nell'elenco in fondo alla pagina.

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.

Modifiche recenti

• Gli utenti sloggati che desiderano disattivare la modalità con larghezza limitata del tema Vector 2022 non dovranno più cliccare il pulsante per cambiare modalità ogni volta che visitano o ricaricano una pagina. La scelta sarà ricordata solo sui wiki dove Vector 2022 è il tema predefinito. [13]

Modifiche di questa settimana

• La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 7 febbraio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 8 febbraio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 9 febbraio (calendario).
• Nei bollettini precedenti è stato annunciato in anticipo quando alcuni wiki sarebbero stati in modalità di sola lettura per via di un cambio dei database. Questo genere di annunci non sarà più fatto perché il periodo di sola lettura è diventato insignificante. I prossimi cambi avverranno di martedì e di giovedì alle 7:00 UTC. [14]
• Presto su tutti i wiki gli utenti registrati che usano il tema Vector 2022 visualizzeranno i link agli strumenti come "Puntano qui" in un nuovo menu laterale sulla destra dello schermo. Finora solo gli utenti sui progetti Wikipedia in lingua ceca, inglese e vietnamita hanno visualizzato questo nuovo menu. [15]
• Le proposte per il Sondaggio 2023 sui desideri della comunità saranno accettate fino alle 18:00 UTC di lunedì 6 febbraio 2023. I proponenti dovranno finire di apportare modifiche entro quell'ora per dare il tempo agli altri utenti di tradurre le loro proposte ed esaminarle. La votazione avrà inizio venerdì 10 febbraio.

Modifiche future

• Gli accessori e gli script utente si caricheranno di default sia sul sito desktop sia mobile. Attualmente si caricano solo sul sito desktop. Prima che il cambiamento avvenga, gli amministratori dovrebbero ricontrollare le definizioni degli accessori attivi sul loro wiki e reimpostare il parametro skins=… degli accessori da caricare solo su desktop.

    • In this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team, they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the Abstract Wikipedia updates might be worth to follow.)
  • Papers
    • Investigating the potential of the semantic web for education: Exploring Wikidata as a learning platform
  • Videos
  • Notebooks
    • Country diversity of external links domain names in Wikipedia in French an analysis of all domain names in Wikipedia in French by country associated to the website.

Notizie tecniche: 2023-14

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.

Modifiche recenti

• Sono stati fatti diversi cambiamenti e fix importanti al sistema con cui si creano automaticamente le categorie per l'estensione Babel. È ora possibile usare i template per categorizzare le nuove categorie e generarne la descrizione. [39][40][41][42][43]

Modifiche di questa settimana

• La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 4 aprile. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 5 aprile e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 6 aprile (calendario).
• Alcuni vecchi browser web, fra cui Internet Explorer 11, non saranno in grado di utilizzare JavaScript sulle wiki Wikimedia da questa settimana. Se hai un browser vecchio sul tuo computer puoi aggiornarlo a una versione più recente. [44]
• Il modulo deprecato jquery.hoverIntent è stato rimosso. Gli accessori e gli script utente lo potevano usare per ritardare artificialmente un codice JavaScript che doveva essere eseguito in risposta a un passaggio del mouse. Al suo posto possono essere usati i metodi JQuery hover() o on(). Leggi la guida e consulta gli esempi. [45]
• Alcuni link in Speciale:PagineSpeciali saranno riorganizzati. I link che riguardano tutti gli utenti e quelli che riguardano solo l'utenza personale saranno divisi in modo più chiaro. [46]
• Il pulsante Rispondi potrà essere nascosto nelle pagine di discussione archiviate con la nuova parola magica __ARCHIVEDTALK__. Si potrà anche nascondere con la nuova classe CSS .mw-archivedtalk solo in determinate sezioni di una pagina. [47][48][49]

Modifiche future

• Il software Vega con cui si creano grafici e altre visualizzazioni di dati nelle pagine sarà aggiornato all'ultima versione. I grafici realizzati con la sintassi della vecchia versione 1.5 potrebbero smettere di funzionare. La maggior parte è già stata aggiornata, ma chiunque voglia dare una mano a sistemare gli usi rimanenti e ad aggiornare le documentazioni sui wiki locali è il benvenuto. Guarda gli esempi su come trovare e correggere questi grafici.

When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)

Notizie tecniche: 2023-19

Le ultime notizie tecniche dalla comunità tecnica di Wikimedia; per favore, avvisa gli altri utenti su questi cambiamenti. Non tutti i cambiamenti ti riguarderanno. Sono disponibili le traduzioni.

Modifiche recenti

• La settimana scorsa la community tech ha rilasciato il primo aggiornamento per esaudire la richiesta più popolare del Sondaggio 2022 sui desideri della comunità, ovvero migliorare i diff. L'aggiornamento aggiunge legende e tooltip ai diff in linea in modo da rendere più chiaro che tipo di modifiche sono state fatte agli utenti che non hanno familiarità con le evidenziazioni blu e gialle.
• Quando si chiude un'immagine visualizzata con MediaViewer, adesso si torna sempre alla pagina wiki dove si è aperta l'immagine. In precedenza si tornava indietro nella cronologia del browser. Questa modifica è stata la 65esima richiesta più popolare del Sondaggio 2023 sui desideri della comunità. [72]
• L'estensione SyntaxHighlight che implementa l'evidenziazione della sintassi permette ora di selezionare wikitext come linguaggio. Lo si può usare per evidenziare il wikitesto al posto delle vecchie alternative come html5, moin e html+handlebars. [73]
• È ora possibile precaricare il testo di un messaggio di sistema locale dell'interfaccia MediaWiki quando si crea una nuova pagina o sezione. Ad esempio su Wikipedia in ceco si può creare una nuova sezione precaricando il testo di MediaWiki:July con preload=MediaWiki:July. [74]

Problemi

• L'estensione Graph è stata aggiornata a Vega5. I grafici basati su Vega2 non sono più compatibili. Le comunità devono aggiornare i grafici e template locali, oltre che i moduli Lua condivisi come de:Modul:Graph. Leggi la guida alla migrazione di Vega e consulta gli esempi. Vega5 è stato appena attivato su mediawiki.org per fornire alle comunità uno spazio dove condurre test. [75]

Modifiche di questa settimana

• La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 9 maggio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 10 maggio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 11 maggio (calendario).
• Finora tutte le app OAuth sono state sottoposte a revisione manuale. A partire dalla prossima settimana la revisione non sarà più necessaria per le app che si limitano a identificare l'utente o che richiedono i permessi per le sole operazioni di base. [76]

Modifiche future

• L'anno prossimo MediaWiki smetterà di identificare gli utenti anonimi con il loro indirizzo IP e assegnerà loro un nome utente univoco e temporaneo. Leggi maggiori informazioni e di' la tua sul formato di questi nomi utente. [77]
• Sarà fatto un test A/B su 10 Wikipedie il cui tema predefinito è Vector 2022. Metà degli utenti registrati che navigano sulla versione desktop di queste Wikipedie visualizzeranno un'interfaccia le cui parti si distinguono in modo più chiaro. Leggi maggiori informazioni. [78][79]
• jquery.tipsy sarà rimosso da MediaWiki. Molte delle righe di codice che contengono .tipsy( negli script utente possono essere commentate. Al posto di jquery.tipsy si può usare OO.ui.PopupWidget. Leggi maggiori informazioni e scopri come trovare gli script rotti. [80]

Repubblica Romana

Autore:Repubblica Romana (1849);

c'è un " Costituzione della Repubblica Romana 1849 (Altra versione)

Credo che l'abbia messo tu. Ma manca il testo. Carlo M. (disc.) 18:43, 7 giu 2023 (CEST)

Ciao Carlo, avevo fatto la scansione ma poi non l'ho più caricata. Era una manifesto dell'epoca con una versione lievemente diversa della Costituzione. Appena posso, vedo se riesco a trovarlo nel mio PC. Cmq l'avevo trovato online, in qualche sitoweb. Accurimbono (disc) 09:51, 8 giu 2023 (CEST)

Ecco il link da cui l'avevo tratto: https://www.internetculturale.it/it/16/search/detail?instance=&case=&id=oai%3Awww.internetculturale.sbn.it%2FTeca%3A20%3ANT0000%3AN%3AIEI0171204

Come vedi in questa versione ci sono 83 articoli invece dei 69. Mi pare interessante trascrivere tutte e due.

Se hai tempo e vuoi trascrivere, ben venga!

--Accurimbono (disc) 09:53, 8 giu 2023 (CEST)

Ce ne sta un'altra alla fine del "Bolletino" (da p. 1032) di 69 articoli. Per il momento mi tengo il bollettino, che comunque avanza abbastanza veloce. Se carichi il file, poi trascrivo anche quello. p.s. non so mai in quale progetto mettere sta roba. Fammi sapere. Comunque: viva la Repubblica Romana.

--Carlo M. (disc.) 10:35, 8 giu 2023 (CEST)

Fatto, pagina indice pronta per la trascrizione. Accurimbono (disc) 13:30, 8 giu 2023 (CEST)

--Carlo M. (disc.) 16:10, 8 giu 2023 (CEST) OK. Appena ho trascritto l'altra versione faccio anche questa. Grazie per l'attenzione.

Notizie tecniche: 2023-24

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.

Modifiche recenti

• Sulle edizioni di Wikipedia in lingua olandese, tedesca, ungherese, indonesiana, giapponese, polacca e portoghese si possono ora usare gli strumenti Chi l'ha scritto?, XTools Authorship e XTools Blame che servono quando si vuole trovare l'autore di un contenuto. Il supporto di questi strumenti ad altre lingue è stato la settima richiesta più popolare del Sondaggio 2023 sui desideri della comunità. [94]
• Il pannello Anteprima di ricerca è stato attivato nelle edizioni di Wikipedia in catalano, olandese, ungherese e norvegese. Quando si cerca una pagina con la ricerca interna, il pannello mostra un'immagine relativa alla voce (se esistente), le prime sezioni della voce, le immagini pertinenti (recuperate da MediaSearch su Commons) e i progetti fratelli associati alla voce. [95]
• Adesso l'estensione RealMe consente agli amministratori di contrassegnare gli URL in qualsiasi pagina come verificati per il software Mastodon e simili. [96]
• La licenza predefinita dei progetti è diventata ufficialmente la CC BY-SA 4.0. I messaggi di sistema sono stati aggiornati di conseguenza. Ogni comunità è libera di aggiornare anche i riferimenti alla vecchia licenza CC BY-SA 3.0 nelle linee guida e documentazioni varie. [97]

Problemi

• La settimana scorsa un bug ha provocato l'aggiunta involontaria della direttiva __TOC__ in alcune delle pagine di Wikipedia che sono state modificate col VisualEditor o con gli Strumenti di discussione. Il bug si è verificato per tre giorni. C'è una lista di queste pagine ordinate per wiki che potrebbero contenere ancora la direttiva. [98]
• Attualmente la funzione "Ordina questa pagina, in modo predefinito, come" nel VisualEditor non funziona. Inoltre laddove è già stata inserita la parola magica {{DEFAULTSORT:...}} appare erroneamente come un template mancante nel VisualEditor. Gli sviluppatori stanno cercando una soluzione al problema. Nel frattempo, si raccomanda di usare l'editor del wikitesto per reimpostare la chiave di ordinamento predefinita delle pagine. [99]
• Un aggiornamento della settimana scorsa potrebbe aver rotto gli accessori e script utente che manipolano il modulo di cancellazione delle pagine. Il contenuto del campo delle motivazioni può essere manipolato (svuotato) sostituendo #wpReason con #wpReason > input. Vedi esempio. [100]

Modifiche di questa settimana

• La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 13 giugno. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 14 giugno e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 15 giugno (calendario).
• Il backend del VisualEditor sarà cambiato rispettivamente lunedì su Wikipedia inglese e giovedì su altri wiki grandi. Gli utenti non dovrebbero notare nessun cambiamento particolare, ma qualsiasi rallentamento o anomalia nell'utilizzo del VisualEditor potrà essere segnalata nel task su Phabricator linkato di seguito. [101]

Modifiche future

• Il team Security di Wikimedia Foundation sta raccogliendo pareri su una bozza di policy per la regolazione dell'uso di risorse di terze parti negli accessori e script utente sviluppati dai volontari. La consultazione è iniziata il 5 giugno e terminerà il 17 luglio. Si incoraggiano gli utenti a scrivere commenti e suggerimenti nella pagina di discussione della pagina Policy per le risorse di terze parti su Meta-wiki.

Modifiche recenti

• Sono ora disponibili i flame graph (grafici a fiamme) nel set di strumenti WikimediaDebug. [102][103]

Modifiche di questa settimana

• Non ci saranno nuove versioni di MediaWiki questa settimana.

Notizie tecniche: 2023-26

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.

Modifiche recenti

• D'ora in avanti i moduli dell'Action API e la pagina Speciale:CercaCollegamenti restituiranno con un carattere / alla fine tutti i domini nudi nelle risposte alle chiamate con prop=extlinks. Questo è uno dei cambiamenti che servono a rimuovere i duplicati nella tabella externallinks del database. [106]

Problemi

• La settimana scorsa la funzione di ricerca non ha funzionato su Commons e Wikidata per 23 ore. [107][108]

Modifiche di questa settimana

• La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 27 giugno. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 28 giugno e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 29 giugno (calendario).
• Il tema Minerva applicherà altri stili predefiniti alla classe CSS .mbox-text in modo da estendere il supporto ai template mbox realizzati coi div al posto delle tabelle. Gli utenti sono invitati ad assicurarsi che i nuovi stili non si applichino anche ad altri template sul loro wiki. [109][110]
• D'ora in avanti gli accessori si caricheranno sempre sia sulla versione desktop del sito sia su quella per dispositivi mobili. In precedenza, gli accessori si caricavano di default solo sulla versione desktop. Il parametro |targets= in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition è deprecato. Al suo posto si potrà usare il parametro |skins= per attivare o disattivare gli accessori a seconda del tema selezionato dall'utente. Gli accessori più popolari che provocheranno errori nei dispositivi mobili saranno disattivati dagli sviluppatori a tutti gli utenti che usano il tema Minerva come misura temporanea. [111]
• Adesso tutte le tab dei namespace sono associate allo stesso tasto di accesso rapido in maniera predefinita. Prima era necessario impostare il tasto manualmente per i namespace personalizzati e quelli definiti dalle estensioni. [112]
• Il modulo di revisione dell'estensione Flagged Revisions è stato rifatto con le componenti dell'interfaccia utente standardizzate. [113]

Modifiche future

• Nelle prossime settimane cambierà il modo in cui sono strutturati i media nell'output HTML del parser sui wiki del gruppo 2. La nuova struttura migliora l'accessibilità dei contenuti. Alcuni CSS, script utente e accessori potrebbero avere bisogno di essere aggiornati. Scopri quali codici controllare/aggiornare e dove segnalare eventuali problemi. [114]

Ehm

La pagina che hai modificato....

In realtà mi servirà per sistemare la pagina su WP. (w:Deputati dell'Assemblea costituente della Repubblica Romana)

Cerco di raccogliere quante più info e fonti. E dove sono le fonti? QUI.

Per cui annullerò alcuni dei tuoi interventi.

Secondo i "criteri" di WP, essendo stati eletti, sono tutti enciclopedici, quindi potrebbero (dovrebbero?) avere una voce. Il fatto è che le fonti sono scarse.

Ed è quelle che sto cercando di trovare.

Ogni "item" sarà così fatto

# (che permette di metterli in ordine alfabetico di cognome)

Nome cognome tra parentesi quadre: va su WP)

Collegio/collegi di elezione

Voti ricevuti (colonna nuova che dovrò fare visto che ho trovato alcune fonti – da mettere in nota -)

Annotazioni

Q di wdata (che sparirà nella versione finale ma al momento è utile per vedere chi non è ancora "schedato"

Per il resto ritieniti liberissimo di intervenire.

Ovviamente i consigli sono sempre graditi.

--Carlo M. (disc.) 14:57, 27 giu 2023 (CEST)

Ah scusami, pensavo di farti un piacere formattando qua e là ma mi sa che ti ho fatto confusione. Cmq basta annullare le modifiche. Scusa di nuovo, non era mia intenzione. Accurimbono (disc) 15:32, 27 giu 2023 (CEST)

Notizie tecniche: 2023-28

Ultimo bollettino tecnico della comunità tecnica di Wikimedia. Per favore informa gli altri utenti di queste modifiche. Non tutte le modifiche produrranno effetti per te. Traduzioni disponibili.

Modifiche recenti

• La funzione di suggerimento delle immagini per le sezioni è stata attivata sulle Wikipedie in lingua portoghese, russa, indonesiana, catalana, ungherese, finlandese e bokmål. La funzione suggerisce immagini che possano andare bene nelle sezioni delle voci che l'utente ha tra gli osservati speciali.
• I filtri anti abusi globali sono stati attivati su tutti i progetti Wikimedia, ad eccezione delle Wikipedie in lingua inglese e giapponese (che non ne hanno voluto usufruire). La decisione è stata presa a seguito di una richiesta di commenti globale. [117]
• Speciale:BlockedExternalDomains è un nuovo strumento che aiuta gli amministratori a combattere lo spam. Fornisce un'interfaccia più chiara per bloccare i domini (e i loro sottodomini), consente di trovare più facilmente i domini bloccati, e processa più velocemente le modifiche alle pagine. Non supporta le espressioni regolari, il match dei percorsi URL e MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist, ma per il resto sostituisce in buona parte le funzioni di MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. Può essere usato su tutti i wiki tranne Meta-Wiki, Commons e Wikidata (leggi la documentazione). C'è anche uno script Python con cui si possono migrare tutti i domini semplici in questo strumento. [118]
• L'estensione WikiEditor è stata aggiornata con l'aggiunta di alcune funzioni di modifica del wikitesto più utilizzate. Mentre in passato diversi messaggi dell'estensione potevano essere tradotti solo dagli amministratori, ora li possono tradurre tutti i volontari su translatewiki. I volontari sono invitati a verificare lo stato di localizzazione del WikiEditor nella loro lingua e a contribuire alla traduzione se è ancora incompleta. Leggi maggiori informazioni.

Modifiche di questa settimana

• La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 11 luglio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 12 luglio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 13 luglio (calendario).
• Il protocollo di comunicazione di Speciale:CercaCollegamenti e delle rispettive API è stato cambiato da HTTP a sia HTTP sia HTTPS. [119]
• D'ora in avanti Speciale:CercaCollegamenti e le rispettive API effettueranno la ricerca in base all'intero URL inserito. In precedenza, si basavano solo sui primi 60 caratteri. La richiesta di questa modifica risale a quindici anni fa. [120]

Modifiche future

• Esiste un plugin di ChatGPT ancora in fase sperimentale che serve a mostrare agli utenti da dove provengono le informazioni che leggono quando ChatGPT gli risponde ricavando le informazioni da Wikipedia. Il plugin è stato testato dallo staff di Wikimedia Foundation e da altri Wikimediani. Presto sarà disponibile a tutti gli utenti che usano i plugin di ChatGPT. Lo stesso plugin è stato menzionato nelle Notizie tecniche 2023/20. [121]
• È in corso una discussione sulla proposta di una policy per l'uso di risorse di terze parti negli accessori e script utente. In base alle idee ricevute finora, la policy menzionerà alcuni rischi che si corrono caricando accessori e script utente che usano risorse di terze parti; inoltre illustrerà alcune best practices e criteri di esenzione come la trasparenza e l'ispezionabilità del codice. Altre idee e suggerimenti saranno più che i benvenuti fino al 17 luglio 2023 nella pagina di discussione della policy.

Modifiche recenti

Modifiche di questa settimana

• La nuova versione di MediaWiki sarà sulle wiki di prova e MediaWiki.org dal giorno 18 luglio. Sarà disponibile sulle wiki non-Wikipedia e alcune Wikipedia dal giorno 19 luglio e sulle altre wiki dal giorno 20 luglio (calendario).
• I messaggi di sistema di MediaWiki sono mostrati in una lingua di ripiego quando manca la traduzione nella lingua dell'utente. Il messaggio nella lingua di ripiego che è modificato a livello locale avrà la precedenza rispetto a quello predefinito nel software. In questo modo i wiki non dovranno più creare una pagina per ogni lingua nella sequenza di ripiego. Ad esempio, Wikipedia in inglese non dovrà più transcludere la versione locale di una pagina base nelle sottopagine en-ca e en-gb per evitare che il software ripieghi sulla sua versione predefinita. Il nuovo meccanismo semplifica la manutenzione dei messaggi locali. [122]
• L'API action=growthsetmentorstatus sarà deprecata con la nuova versione di MediaWiki. I bot e gli script possono usare l'API action=growthmanagementorlist al suo posto. [123]
