 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
 * You can now use more advanced editing tools on the mobile web. You can turn them on and off in your preferences in the mobile version.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 October. It will be on all wikis from 17 October (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 16 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are no longer supported. This means the browsers might start looking a bit weird. They will not get security support. You can't read Wikimedia wikis in Internet Explorer on Windows XP or Windows versions that are older than Windows XP. This is because almost no one uses the browsers anymore. Supporting them made the wikis less secure for everyone else.
 * In the future section headings might have a share link. This is to make it easier to link to the section. You can read more and discuss.

Want Help
I have created a page,The Game of Votes. But this page is not showing on google. Please tell me what is the problem?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virenderthind2019 (talk • contribs) 10:36, 15 October 2019 (UTC)


 * It may be because there were no links to it from other pages. I've added one, from the page about the author. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:09, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Sir, In Hidden categories,this page is under Category:All Wikipedia articles needing clarification ,Category:Wikipedia articles needing clarification from October 2019 Why this article is under these categories??

 * There's no need to call me "Sir". The categories are because of the template (which displays the suffix "vague") after the sentence "The book highlights the vital role played by the digital and technology platforms in the election outcomes in India as well as globally while showcasing the entire gamut of key players in the electoral field.". Someone added that because they feel the point needs to be more clearly explained. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:30, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Andy, I disagree with your assessment of the article. Virenderthind2019 asked the same question on User talk:1997kB. I see only one good source. V has ignored my response and gone shopping for a more agreeable opinion. Cabayi (talk) 12:07, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Infobox settlement wrappers - PT
There used to be two type-specific wrappers PT municipality and PT parish. Markussep merged them - he seems to be the only one creating more and more country during the last years. As expected, he with some waiting time he added a third type to the wrapper, namely PT CIM. Municipalities of Portugal are the basic foundation and stable for decades, if not centuries. The non-Markussep-way would either to cover them with a type-specific wrapper or directly with infobox settlement. 78.54.192.129 (talk) 17:29, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

API modules marked as internal were probably internal before. It was easier to miss. You should look for non-internal alternatives.

Problems

Infobox name lang parms
Hi. I'm trying to figure out the correct way to handle names in multiple languages in Infoboxes. For example, Raub, Pahang, had unadorned Arabic and Chinese (which variant?) crammed into the  parm with   separators, which seemed wrong. Template:Infobox_settlement/doc says to use, but I don't see it saying how/where or give an example. As you can see, I put the Arabic name wrapped in in , and put the Chinese name wrapped in  in. I didn't use  at all because it didn't provide the "Arabic:" prefix, and so would be inconsistent with the Chinese name. Alternatively, I could have wrapped the Chinese name in instead of  (i.e. eliminating the "Chinese:" prefix) and then used ﺭءﺍﻭﺏ‎ and ar. Another choice would be a list of -wrapped names in the   parm. I searched a bit, but couldn't find a direct answer, so since you're often involved in discussions of the subject, can you can give me a clue? Thanks! —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 20:03, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

New Wikimedian in Residence table and map
Hi Andy. Could you add start and end months in wikidata for your WiR roles? Otherwise wikidata can't calculate the duration. A new wikimedian in residence table should soon be implemented based on data from Wikimedian_in_residence (draft table). If there are any WiRs you know that are missing, please add them. In the meantime, see the map! T.Shafee(Evo &#38; Evo)talk 00:34, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
