- Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:

We are checking what if anything of it can be revived for our current work to allow other Wikibase instances to use Wikidata's Items and Properties seamlessly.
- Data governance: We are concluding research around the current undestanding of people about which data should go where in the Wikibase Ecosystem.
- Constraint reports: We limited Special:ConstraintReport to logged-in users to avoid AI scrapers hitting the systems too hard ([[phab:T401789]))

本週要聞
- 編輯團隊正在開發一項新檢查:貼上檢查(Paste check)。這項檢查會提醒將文字貼入維基百科的新手編者,其內容可能不被接受。這項檢查旨在確保使用者在維基百科添加的內容符合維基媒體運動的承諾——基於自由內容授權提供資訊。這項檢查即將在數個維基站點進行測試。若您的社群有興趣參與測試,請在此工單中告知我們,或直接聯絡團隊。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
本週稍晚,啟用「增强版语法高亮」測試功能的使用者將能使用lint工具,實時檢查wikitext中的錯誤或其他潛在問題。參閱說明頁面。 [29]
瀏覽維基站點(如
en.wikipedia.org
)時,系統會以兩種方式回應:顯示桌面版網頁,或轉址至「m」開頭網域的行動版網頁(如en.m.wikipedia.org
)。未來三週內,MediaWiki將開始在標準網域上直接向行動裝置顯示行動版網頁,不再進行轉址。此變更不會影響現存的m.
開頭網址或「桌面版檢視」選項。了解更多。 [30]- 現在,當編輯操作更改了頁面的分類時,分類成員數量的更新會以非同步方式進行。此變更可提升編輯儲存速度——尤其是在將多個頁面移入或移出同一分類時——並降低網站當機風險,但這也意味著分類數量可能會短暫顯示過時資訊。 [31]
- 現在,對維基數據項目聲明中的限定符(屬性和值)和參考資料(屬性和值)所做的編輯,不會出現在其他維基站點的近期變更和監視清單頁面中。這是一項臨時變更,旨在提升效能,待其他解決方案存在後將恢復原狀。維基數據自身頁面則維持不變。了解更多。 [32][33]
- 日語維基站點的搜尋文字解析功能獲重大更新,引入了Sudachi分詞器,應能提供更準確、更相關的搜尋結果。 [34]
上週有31件由社群提交的工單得到解決。

2025年第38期技術新聞
[编辑]維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改;不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 現在,當讀者選用Vector 2022的「標準」字型大小與頁面寬度設定時,使用
<references/>
標籤建立的參考資料清單將自動以分欄形式顯示。 [35] - 自10月6日當週起,在啟用CampaignEvents擴充功能的中、小型維基上,所有自動確認使用者皆可作為活動籌辦人員使用活動報名功能。除非透過Phabricator提出請求,大型維基將維持現狀。此變更旨在讓更多人能更容易使用活動報名功能,特別是在較少制定活動籌辦人員權限相關方針的維基上。了解更多。
- 站內搜尋的Regex功能更新,新增以下功能:
- 過去,當在站內搜尋看似IP位址的字串時,系統會跳轉至該IP的貢獻紀錄。現在,系統會正常顯示搜尋結果。 [38]
- 9月24日,所有維基媒體網站將進入唯讀狀態幾分鐘,預定於15:00 UTC開始。這是半年一次的資料中心伺服器切換備份測試。更多關於此次切換的背景和細節,請參閱Diff文章。
上週有24件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如,先前編輯章節時,從wikitext切換到視覺化編輯器會造成其他內容被移除,此問題現已修正。 [39]
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- MediaWiki介面團隊正在運用Codex重新設計Wikimedia REST API沙盒。若您對API文件的改進方向,或讓開發者體驗變得順暢(或令人沮喪)的因素有任何意見回饋,誠摯邀請您參與即將舉行的探索訪談,或在維基內留下意見。了解更多。
- 現在,對維基數據別名(項目或屬性的替代名稱)的編輯,將較少出現在其他維基站點的近期變更和監視清單頁面中,從而減少不必要的通知。此舉將降低這些頁面整體中的「雜訊」數量。維基數據自身頁面則維持不變。了解更多。 [40]
- Unicode 17.0發布,供Module:Unicode data使用的共享資源資料集已隨之更新。未使用共享資源資料集的維基百科站點,應自行更新本地資料或改用共享資源資料集。
- 維基媒體企業服務的結構化內容(Structured Contents)端點的使用者現可存取已解析表格(Parsed Tables)。此新功能可擷取維基百科表格內容,並以結構化JSON格式呈現。作為結構化內容計畫的一環,這提升了機器可讀性。結構化內容輸出可透過隨選API或維基媒體雲端服務自由取得。
- 維基媒體企業服務的英語維基百科人物傳記資料集已在Kaggle平台發布,供評估與研究使用。此資料集提供逾150萬篇傳記的結構化數據,涵蓋出生與逝世日期、教育背景、所屬組織、職業經歷、獲獎紀錄等資訊(截取自2024年6月快照)。

2025年第39期技術新聞
[编辑]維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改;不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。
本週要聞
- 9月24日 15:00 UTC,所有維基媒體網站使用者將經歷短暫的唯讀狀態,此為預定的資料中心伺服器切換作業所致。維基媒體基金會的網站可靠性工程團隊將把所有流量從主要伺服器導向至備援伺服器。您可透過「聆聽維基百科」工具實際聽到切換過程:在唯讀階段,您將聽到編輯操作暫停數分鐘,隨後恢復正常。這個半年一次的資料中心伺服器切換作業,旨在透過測試備援資料中心來確保可靠性,讓我們的網站即使在主要資料中心故障時仍能持續運作。更多詳情請參閱Diff文章。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 不久後,60個維基詞典的編輯者將能夠呼叫維基函數的函數,並在頁面中使用。函數能接受一個或多個輸入,並將其轉換成預期的輸出,例如:相加兩數、換算單位、計算時間跨度或轉換大小寫。加上先前完成部署的65個維基詞典語言版本,目前共有125個維基詞典站點可以從維基函數呼叫函數並在頁面中嵌入使用。今年稍晚,我們計畫進一步擴展至更多維基詞典語言版本及維基孵育場。
- 新增了一個解析器函數:
{{#contentmodel}}
。模板編輯者與管理員可運用此函數取得特定頁面的內容模型的本地名稱或標準名稱。此函數能讓管理員等更容易建立和編輯系統訊息(如MediaWiki:editinginterface),即使在切換不同頁面內容模型(如wikitext、JavaScript、CSS、JSON)時亦然。 [41] - 先前,在視覺化編輯器中新增或修改
DISPLAYTITLE
時會發生錯誤,現已修正此問題。此工單列出了可能受影響且可能需要清理的頁面清單。 - Android版維基百科APP的Beta使用者現在可以試用重新設計過的「活動」標籤頁,取代舊有的「編輯」標籤頁。新設計的標籤頁為使用者提供其閱讀、編輯、捐款活動的個人化洞察,同時簡化導覽流程,讓應用程式的使用體驗更具吸引力。
上週有12件由社群提交的工單得到解決。

- The Community Tech team will release the new Community Wishlist extension on October 1, that will improve the way wishes will be submitted. The new extension will allow users to add tags to their wishes to better categorise them, and (in a future iteration) to filter them by status, tags and focus areas. It will also be possible to support individual wishes again, as requested by the community in many instances. The old system will be retired. There will be a brief period of downtime while the extension is deployed and wishes are migrated to the new system. You can read more about this in the latest update or you can consult the current documentation on MediaWiki.
- As announced on Diff blog, the production trial of the hCaptcha service for bot detection has begun. The trial is currently using hCaptcha to protect account creation on Chinese, Persian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese, and Turkish Wikipedias, where it will replace our existing CAPTCHA (FancyCaptcha). The goal with the trial is to better block bots while also improving usability and accessibility for users who encounter CAPTCHA challenges.
- The CampaignEvents extension has been deployed to Wikimedia Commons. The extension makes it easier to organize and participate in collaborative activities, like edit-a-thons and WikiProjects, on the wikis. On Commons, anyone who is a registered user can use it as an event participant. To use it as an organizer, someone needs to have the event organizer right.
- Sub-referencing, a new feature to re-use references with different details has been released to German Wikipedia. You can test the feature on testwiki or on betawiki as well. Please share your thoughts on using templates in sub-references or volunteer to become a pilot wiki.
- On wikis using the Mentorship system, communities can now opt experienced editors out of Mentorship through Special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship. Within this setting, communities may define thresholds, based on edit count and account age, to decide when an editor is considered experienced enough to no longer receive Mentorship. [43]
- The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: Tone check. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Tone language model for the following languages: Arabic, Czech, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Farsi, Italian, Norwegian, Romanian and Latvian. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org. The deadline to sign up is on October 3, which will be the start date of the test.
- The rollout of multiblocks had the side effect that non-active block logs may have been shown on Special:Contributions and on blocked users' user and user_talk pages. This issue will be fully resolved in a few days. As part of the fix, messages prefixed with
sp-contributions-blocked-notice
will be removed and replaced with those prefixed withblocked-notice-logextract
in a few weeks. Please help translate the new messages and update any local overrides if needed. - There was a bug with links added using visual editor if they included characters such as
[ ] |
after the fragment identifier (#
). They were not encoded properly creating an incorrect link. This has been fixed. [44] - 已新建一個維基: 馬來語维基语录 (

- Later this week, editors using Lua modules will be able to use the
mw.title.newBatch
function to look up the existence of up to 25 pages at once, in a way that only increases the expensive function count once. - A new Unsupported Tools Working Group has been formed as part of ongoing efforts to collectively determine technical work priorities, similar to the Product & Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). The working group will help prioritize and review requests for support of unmaintained extensions, gadgets, bots, and tools. For the first cycle, the group will be prioritizing an unsupported Wikimedia Commons tool.
