Tech News: 2024-28
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * At the Wikimedia Foundation a new task force was formed to replace the disabled Graph with more secure, easy to use, and extensible Chart. You can subscribe to the newsletter to get notified about new project updates and other news about Chart.
 * The CampaignEvents extension is now available on Meta-wiki, Igbo Wikipedia, and Swahili Wikipedia, and can be requested on your wiki. This extension helps in managing and making events more visible, giving Event organizers the ability to use tools like the Event registration tool. To learn more about the deployment status and how to request this extension for your wiki, visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-wiki.
 * Editors using the iOS Wikipedia app who have more than 50 edits can now use the Add an Image feature. This feature presents opportunities for small but useful contributions to Wikipedia.
 * Thank you to all of the authors who have contributed to MediaWiki Core. As a result of these contributions, the percentage of authors contributing more than 5 patches has increased by 25% since last year, which helps ensure the sustainability of the platform for the Wikimedia projects.

Problems
 * A problem with the color of the talkpage tabs always showing as blue, even for non-existent pages which should have been red, affecting the Vector 2022 skin, has been fixed.

Future changes
 * The Trust and Safety Product team wants to introduce temporary accounts with as little disruption to tools and workflows as possible. Volunteer developers, including gadget and user-script maintainers, are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. The team has created documentation explaining how to do the update. Learn more.

Tech News survey
 * Please help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 1 more week. The survey is covered by this privacy statement. Some translations are available.

Recent changes
 * Octicons-tools.svg Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both Gerrit and GitLab, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the Migration status page.
 * The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
 * Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
 * Editors who have access to The Wikipedia Library can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation contacted them to restore access. You can read more about this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week.

Changes later this week
 * This week, dark mode will be available on a number of Wikipedias, both desktop and mobile, for logged-in and logged-out users. Interface admins and user script maintainers are encouraged to check gadgets and user scripts in the dark mode, to find any hard-coded colors and fix them. There are some recommendations for dark mode compatibility to help.

Future changes
 * Octicons-tools.svg Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the temporary accounts feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page.
 * Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.

Updating bibliography in the WIKIPEDIA article on Seta B. Dadoyan
Dear Colleague, I fully understand and indeed appreciate the strict rules of editing and the problem of "conflict of interest." However, the suggested edition was ONLY an updating of bibliography, such as new publications, corrections of exiting dates/pages. Obviously, this sort of information will only be available to the author. or myself. A full and complete bibliography is always welcome, and it is not available anywhere else, except WIKIPEDIA. I do very much hope that you will consider the edition/completion of the "Works" section. The existing one lacks a very substantial part of my works. As you kindly go over it, you will see that there is not a single statement or word of praise or evaluation. It is all purely bibliographical material.

With many thanks!

SBD Seta dadoyan (talk) 00:37, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Seta dadoyan, the removal of the bibliography was mostly due to Style. The bibliography should not be longer than the rest of the article. Due to that, only the most notable ones, that can be sourced, should be added. While I understand that you'd like it to be the complete list, Wikipedia is not a directory. You could instead try creating a Bibliography list article on it's own at Draft:Seta Dadoyan bibliography, but I'm not sure how the notability would apply for that. It's also important to keep using the same style for all items, for example by using the citation templates for all them (Cite book, Cite journal). @Bbb23 Anything I missed? Nobody  ( talk ) 06:31, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

As instructed, I cut the proposed update to 50% of earlier version, it is now in the required size and style. Please kindly consider the improvement, as the existing entry is seriously incomplete.

Thanks!

Question from Katrine Moite (10:14, 18 July 2024)
Hello, I want to add an article abput me and my work as a photographer to the Wikipedia. How can I do this? thanks --Katrine Moite (talk) 10:14, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Katrine Moite, there's a few things to consider. First there's Autobiography, a guideline that discourages writing about themself. There's Conflict of interest which also would apply. For the draft itself there are also a few things to consider: It needs Reliable sources for Verifiability and Notability, it needs to be written in a neutral tone.
