Recent changes
- The appearance of talk pages changed for the following wikis: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia, Thai Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Vietnamese Wikipedia. These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design, for one year. As this test
gave positive results
, the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is possible to opt-out these changes
in user preferences
("Overlegactiviteit weergeven"). The deployment will happen at all wikis in the coming weeks.
[5]
- Seven new wikis have been created:
- You can now
watch message groups/projects
on
Translatewiki.net
. Initially, this feature will notify you of added or deleted messages in these groups.
[13]
- Dark mode is now available on all wikis, on mobile web for logged-in users who opt into the
advanced mode
. This is the early release of the feature. Technical editors are invited to
check for accessibility issues on wikis
. See
more detailed guidelines
.
Problems
- Kartographer
maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using
mapstyle="osm"
. This wasn't working in previews, creating the wrong impression that it wasn't supported. This has now been fixed.
[14]
Changes later this week
- The
new version
of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 May. It will be on all wikis from 2 May (
calendar
).

from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.
Translations
are available.
Recent changes
- On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word
__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__
to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list.
[25]
- If you use the
user-preference
"Voorvertoning weergeven zonder de pagina opnieuw te laden", then the template-page feature "Voorvertoning weergeven met dit sjabloon" will now also work without reloading the page.
[26]
- Kartographer
maps can now specify an alternative text via the
alt=
attribute. This is identical in usage to the
alt=
attribute in the
image and gallery syntax
. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive.
[27]
- The old
Guided Tour
for the "
New Filters for Edit Review
" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people.
[28]
Changes later this week
- The
new version
of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (
calendar
).
[29]
[30]
- The
Speciaal:Zoeken
results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure.
[31]
Future changes
- In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022.

.
[32]
- Two columns of the
pagelinks
database table (
pl_namespace
and
pl_title
) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the new
linktarget
table instead (
lt_namespace
and
lt_title
). In your existing SQL queries:
- Replace
JOIN pagelinks
with
JOIN linktarget
and
pl_
with
lt_
in the
ON
statement
- Below that add
JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id

Recent changes
- The
Nuke
feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title.
[35]
- New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description.
[36]
[37]
Changes later this week
- The
new version
of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (
calendar
).
[38]
[39]
- The HTML used to render all headings
is being changed to improve accessibility
. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and
report any related problems
so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a
Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles
if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.

Recent changes
- Several bugs related to the latest updates to the UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons have been fixed. For more information, see
T365107
and
T365119
.
- In March 2024 a new
addPortlet
API was added to allow gadgets to create new portlets (menus) in the skin. In certain skins this can be used to create dropdowns. Gadget developers are invited to try it and
give feedback
.
- Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration. Interface editors should check the rendering on mobile devices for aspects related to the classes:
.collapsible
,
.multicol
,
.reflist
,
.coordinates
,
.topicon
.
Further details are available on replacement CSS
if it is needed.

[41]
- When you visit a wiki where you don't yet have a local account, local rules such as edit filters can sometimes prevent your account from being created. Starting this week, MediaWiki takes your global rights into account when evaluating whether you can override such local rules.

Hallo XXBlackburnXx, ik zag
deze terugdraaiing
en vraag me af waarom? We zetten in een beschrijving van een afbeelding altijd een beschrijving van wat of wie erop te zien is. Niet de bestandsnaam.

- Dit zijn bewerkingen van een gebruiker die al duizenden geblokkeerde en vergrendelde sokpoppen onder z'n naam heeft. Dit is natuurlijk niet de reden van de terugdraaiingen maar de reden is dat er bij sommige bewerkingen bewust verkeerde informatie wordt toegevoegd of gevandaliseerd. Ik heb de bewerkingen gewoon voor de zekerheid teruggedraaid zonder naar de inhoud te kijken. Achteraf gezien misschien een extreme maatregel geweest. -

Hoi XXBlackburnXx,
Ik zie dat FateHags weer eens bezig is op fr- en es-wiki. Ik zag dat je de bewerking weer had
teruggedraaid
Ik heb global locks aangevraagd bij de stewards, maar is er een manier dat ik dit sneller kan aanvragen/bekijken? Ik heb geen bewerkingsrechten op Meta en moet iedere keer een edit aanvragen, wat nogal omslachtig is als naar mijn schatting de gebruiker in kwestie nog minstens 89 andere sokpoppen gaat aanmaken.
Alvast bedankt!

- Wat metawiki betreft: je moet minstens 5 bewerkingen hebben daar om
m:SRG
te kunnen bewerken. Hier kan ik niets aan doen. Misschien zou je best even een paar bewerkingen in de
m:Sandbox
doen of een gebruikerspagina aanmaken zodat je boven die grens zit, maar de edit requests worden in ieder geval wel in de gaten gehouden.
- Betreffende FateHags (ongewenste gebruikersnaam trouwens): Ik heb een globaal filter aangepast zodat alle bewerkingen met de volledige naam (en varianten daarvan) worden tegengehouden, ook op frwiki en eswiki. Als hij doorgaat, kan ik een strenger filter aanmaken, maar dat lijkt nu nog niet nodig. Ik hou de betreffende pagina's in de gaten. -
