Who Wrote That? extension
Hello !

Maybe you can help me. I am having issues with the Who Wrote That? browser extension. It hasn't been working for me for a number of days. I've asked on the WP:DISCORD and others report issues with using scripts, too. Renerpho (talk) 16:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Renerpho I'm going to need more information. I just did a quick test and everything seemed fine to me. Are there particular articles where WWT isn't working? Please provide links, as well as a description of exactly what is not working for you (i.e. what happens when you click on "Who Wrote That?"). Thanks! &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  17:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I just checked and it's working fine now. Earlier, no matter what article I tried it on, it would give an error message, asking me to try again later. This lasted for about a week, but I guess it's resolved now. Renerpho (talk) 23:42, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I did discover the service that processes new revisions was in fact down. So when it wasn't working for you, you probably were checking articles that had new revisions, while the ones that did work were already processed by WikiWho. Anyway I've got the service running again and added measures to prevent this from happening again. There are about 2 weeks worth of revisions that WikiWho missed, so it will take at least several days to fully catch up. In the meantime, you may see errors for some articles, but everything should be back to normal soon enough. &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  18:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-29
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

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 3 more days. 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.
