 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
 * Octicons-gift.svg Last week, Community Tech released the first update for providing better diffs, the #1 request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. This update adds legends and tooltips to inline diffs so that users unfamiliar with the blue and yellow highlights can better understand the type of edits made.
 * Octicons-gift.svg When you close an image that is displayed via MediaViewer, it will now return to the wiki page instead of going back in your browser history. This feature request was voted #65 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.
 * The SyntaxHighlight extension now supports as a selected language. Old alternatives that were used to highlight wikitext, such as, , and , can now be replaced.
 * Preloading text to new pages/sections now supports preloading from localized MediaWiki interface messages. Here is an example at the that uses <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr">.

Problems
 * Graph Extension update: Foundation developers have completed upgrading the visualization software to Vega5. Existing community graphs based on Vega2 are no longer compatible. Communities need to update local graphs and templates, and shared lua modules like de:Modul:Graph . The Vega Porting guide provides the most comprehensive detail on migration from Vega2 and here is an example migration. Vega5 has currently just been enabled on mediawiki.org to provide a test environment for communities.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from . It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from . It will be on all wikis from (calendar).
 * Octicons-tools.svg Until now, all new OAuth apps went through manual review. Starting this week, apps using identification-only or basic authorizations will not require review.

Future changes
 * During the next year, MediaWiki will stop using IP addresses to identify logged-out users, and will start automatically assigning unique temporary usernames. Read more at IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Updates. You can join the discussion about the format of the temporary usernames.
 * There will be an A/B test on 10 Wikipedias where the Vector 2022 skin is the default skin. Half of logged-in desktop users will see an interface where the different parts of the page are more clearly separated. You can read more.
 * Octicons-tools.svg  will be removed from the MediaWiki core. This will affect some user scripts. Many lines with   can be commented out.   can be used to keep things working like they are now. You can read more and read about how to find broken scripts.

Use of date templates in television project templates
In doing some maintenance in the television project, some questions came up about proper formatting of dates within certain templates such as Infobox television episode. In that template, the airdate parameter is documented to allow for multiple dates to be included as a bulleted list. However, it also asks for the date to be formatted with Start date. Having done a lot of cleanup on Episode list lists, I know of the notes included in the documentation about hCalendar microformat and emitting metadata (specifically this note: Template:Episode_list/doc). So when it was asked how this particular warning applies to other templates we use (such as the episode infobox I mentioned), no one currently working in the project on templates or date format clean up seemed to have an answer. I researched the history of notes in the docs and that's what led me to you - specifically with this edit:. I sheepishly admit I don't understand the "why" around the limitation in Episode list. I merely know that it exists and therefore patrol use of the template for improperly implemented dates. But since I don't understand "why", when it comes to other templates, I don't know what the proper display should be, nor could I support it in a discussion. So in an instance of Infobox television episode where airdate is two dates (such as a two part episode), we'd include a bulleted list of dates. Should that be like this: | airdate = Or would it be like this: | airdate = I have been doing the former, but as I noted, I can't support that in a discussion other than referring back to an inexact example (that of the Episode list's use of Start date).
 * January 1, 2020 (Part 1)
 * January 2, 2020 (Part 2)
 * January 1, 2020 (Part 1)
 * January 2, 2020 (Part 2)

I hope this isn't too lengthy of a question, and I hope you can enlighten me, or possibly point me in the correct direction. TIA. Butler Blog  (talk) 20:21, 12 May 2023 (UTC)


 * hCalendar requires a date in a format which supplies; but it only needs - and can only use - one such date. It should be the start date for the entity to which the parent template describes. Which in the case of the infobox, is the episode (one per infobox, or one per row, in the templates you mention), not its individual parts.  Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:45, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I think I understand a little better (but only a little).  So I would assume that in the case of the airdate for Infobox television episode for a two part episode, the airdate really should be something like:

| airdate =
 * January 1, 2020 (Part 1)
 * January 2, 2020 (Part 2)
 * And in the case of a multi-part (more than 2) episode:

| airdate =
 * January 1, 2020 (Part 1)
 * January 2, 2020 (Part 2)
 * January 3, 2020 (Part 3)
 * Am I on the right track?  Butler Blog   (talk) 21:12, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
