2025年第39期技術新聞

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。 [1]
• 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。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

深入了解

• 維基函數使用者現可從維基數據匯入涉及地理座標、數量值、時間值的諸多關鍵資訊。此功能得以實現，是因維基數據為這些數值建立了對應的維基函數類型，使其能被維基函數的函數所運用。欲深入了解運作原理，請參閱此影片，以及8月1日（關於數量值）與8月22日（關於地理座標）的維基函數電子報。

2025年第40期技術新聞

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

• A major software upgrade has been made to Phabricator. The update introduces performance improvements, a refreshed search interface, enhancements to Maniphest task search, updates to user profile pages and project workboards, new Herald automation features, as well as general text input, mobile experience improvements and more. [2]

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 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. [3]
• 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 with blocked-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. [4]
• 已新建一個維基： 馬來語维基语录 (q:ms:) [5]
• 上週有21件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，使用者資訊卡現在會顯示生效中的全域鎖定和全域封鎖。 [6]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 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.

2025年第41期技術新聞

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

• 貼上檢查（Paste check）是新的編輯檢查功能，旨在避免並對抗侵權著作權的行為。當編輯者將文字貼入條目時，貼上檢查會提示其確認內容的來源與授權方式。自10月8日（三）起，22個維基站點將測試此功能。貼上檢查將協助新手志願者理解並遵循必要的方針與指引，從而為維基百科專案作出建設性貢獻。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 行動裝置將直接透過標準網域（如en.wikipedia.org）接收行動版條目，而非轉址至「m」網域（如en.m.wikipedia.org）。此變更可提升效能。本週，各個維基百科站點將啟用此變更。既有的行動版網址及「桌面版檢視」選項仍可使用。了解更多。 [7]
• 維基搜尋引擎新增兩項日期篩選器：creationdate:、lasteditdate:。使用者可藉此依據頁面首次或最後修訂日期來篩選搜尋結果。這些篩選器支援比較運算子（如>2024）與相對日期（如today-1d），讓使用者更容易查找於特定時間範圍內更新的內容或頁面。 [8]
• 在已啟用維基函數功能的150個維基站點中，現在支援嵌入呼叫富文本。為展示此功能，團隊製作了一張拉丁語變格表，供維基詞典編輯者自動生成名詞形式，產出清晰且格式化的結果——參見範例輸出。如需協助或有任何意見回饋，請聯繫維基函數團隊。 [9]
• 現在，已登入使用者可在條目頁面的分類框內見到編輯連結，點擊後將直接開啟視覺化編輯器的分類對話框。 [10]
• 上週有34件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，上週PDF下載功能曾發生問題，此問題現已解決。 [11]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 修訂版本資料表中的rev_sha1欄位將被移除，並由內容資料表中的content_sha1欄位取代。詳情請參閱公告。
• 2025年10月29日，讀者體驗團隊將在所有維基媒體網站推出深色模式UI。所有維基媒體網站的未登入使用者皆可啟用黑底白字的配色方案。此設計旨在提供更舒適的閱讀體驗，尤其適用於低光環境。誠摯邀請模板編者與技術貢獻者於啟用前，學習如何使頁面支援深色模式，並解決模板可能出現的相容性問題。啟用前若有任何疑問或需要支援，請透過此討論頁聯繫網頁團隊。 [12]
• 10月6日（一）開始，位於rest.php路徑下的API端點將重新路由至新的內部API閘道。個別維基站點將依據標準MediaWiki版本更新分組進行更新，整體流量將隨時間逐步提升。此變更應為非中斷更新。若發現任何問題，請至Phabricator提交工單至服務運營團隊看板。 [13]
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

2025年第42期技術新聞

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

• 上週，所有維基站點已啟用帳號安全與雙重驗證（2FA）功能的改進措施。這些變更包括：Special:AccountSecurity介面優化，支援透過Authenticator應用程式與可攜式安全金鑰實現多種雙重驗證方式（先前僅限啟用單一方式），以及新的「恢復代碼模組」，此模組可減少因遺失雙重驗證應用程式或裝置而導致帳號鎖定的狀況。作為帳號安全專案的一部分，我們將在2025年結束前持續推進使用者體驗改進工作，並新增支援以通行金鑰作為雙重驗證方式。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 帳號安全專案的另一項目標，是將雙重驗證功能全面開放給所有使用者。不計已可啟用雙重驗證的高級權限編輯者（如管理員與行政員），現在有40%的編輯者可啟用雙重驗證。您可至Special:AccountSecurity頁面確認自己可否使用雙重驗證功能，若可以，點擊該區塊任一按鈕可進一步查看驗證步驟。若經評估確認使用者支援系統足以支撐全球範圍的使用，我們將持續擴大此功能的開放範圍。 [14]
• 本週，在預設啟用討論頁可用性改進的維基站點（即除了T379264列出的12個站點之外的所有站點），使用者將能夠在討論頁中直接對個別留言表達「感謝」。在此之前，使用者只能在討論頁的修訂紀錄中傳送「感謝」。 了解更多。 [15]
• 尚未驗證電子郵件地址的使用者，將陸續收到每月發送的驗證提醒通知。完成電子郵件驗證的使用者能更容易恢復帳號，因此我們建議使用者完成電子郵件驗證。若使用者處於非活躍狀態，或從帳號中移除未驗證的電子郵件地址，則不會收到此類提醒。 [16][17]
• 上週有21件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，內容翻譯工具曾偶爾出現翻譯段落儲存錯誤，此問題現已解決，相關錯誤訊息也更容易被察覺。 [18]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 未受支援工具工作組已選定Video2Commons作為其試行週期的首個工具。該工作組將在未來數月內探索能改進與維持此工具的方案。了解更多。

2025年第44期技術新聞

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

• iOS版維基百科APP現已在部分語言及地區開始一項關於「標籤頁」功能的A/B/C測試。這項測試名為「更多動態標籤頁」，旨在探索標籤頁瀏覽體驗的可能性，現正計畫加入「你知道嗎」和「因為您閱讀了」標籤頁，客製化提供文章建議。詳見專案頁面。
• 現在，在啟用CampaignEvents擴充功能的中、小型維基上，自動確認使用者無需擁有活動籌辦人員權限即可使用活動報名功能。該功能讓活動籌辦人員能啟用報名機制、管理參與者，並簡化使用者報名程序，僅需透過點擊按鈕即可完成，無需於活動頁面手動簽署報名。
• 上週有31件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前在Vector 2022的深色模式設定介面中，按住或按下方向鍵時會閃爍色彩，現已修正此問題。 [22]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 2025年11月17日當週，CampaignEvents擴充功能將部署至所有尚未部署的維基。該擴充功能目前有三項功能：活動報名、協作清單和邀請名單。本次部署中，除非有關社群提出請求，否則邀請清單功能將不會在維基函數和MediaWiki.org啟用。詳見部署頁面。
• 基於SwaggerUI的REST沙盒現已在所有維基專案上線。您可至Special:RestSandbox頁面使用該沙盒。若遇任何問題，請至Phabricator的MediaWiki介面團隊看板回報，或參與專案啟動頁面列出的相關討論。 [23]
• MediaWiki REST API中，路徑帶有結尾斜線（trailing slash）的轉換端點現已標記為「已棄用」。這些端點目前仍可正常運作，但預計將於2026 年1月底前移除。建議所有目前呼叫這些端點的API使用者轉用無結尾斜線版本。兩種端點變體皆可透過REST沙盒進行查找與測試。關於API棄用方針與流程，請參閱MediaWiki REST API的棄用。
• MediaWiki REST API現設有專屬更新日誌。該更新日誌提供變更概覽，方便開發者追蹤各項改進和迭代。相關公告仍將透過技術新聞與電子郵件清單等標準通訊管道發布，但更新日誌將成為一個更便於引用的中央位置。若您對更新日誌的風格、結構或內容有任何意見，歡迎參與討論。
• JsonConfig擴充功能已不再使用，但由該擴充功能建立的追蹤分類依然殘留。管理員現可刪除這些追蹤分類，具體清單參見Q130635582。由於快取因素，這些分類可能會顯示有頁面殘留。編輯頁面會清除該頁面的快取，而當快取被清除後，這些頁面會自動從分類中消失。 [24]
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

Wikidata weekly summary #704

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2025-11-03. Missed the previous one? See issue #703.

Discussions

• Closed request for adminship: Samoasambia
• New requests for permissions/Bot: langCodesBot - Task(s): Python script to automate the cleanup of deprecated language codes (e.g., kr) from Wikidata items. Delete or move labels, descriptions, and aliases based on comparisons with fallback and related languages. The script uses the Pywikibot framework to process each item and logs cases it skips due to data inconsistencies or ambiguity to a CSV file for manual review.
• New request for comments: Exhibition models by Hexatekin - This proposal focuses on standardizing models for art exhibitions. There is not a consistent data model used for art exhibitions that factors in parent-child relationships for traveling exhibitions, show series, or biennials, despite these being important and common types of events in international art history.

Events

• Past:
  • Happy Birthday, Wikidata 🎉! We celebrated Wikidata’s 13th birthday with a community call to unveil presents and play games. Check out the replay of the event and the cool gifts people made: Wikidata:Thirteenth Birthday/Presents & messages

Tool of the week The Wikidata Reference Validator by User:JosefAnthony helps check and replace broken or outdated references — keeping Wikidata’s knowledge verifiable and trustworthy.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

2025年第45期技術新聞

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

• Special:MergeHistory獲更新，大幅提升了合併功能的靈活性，以便管理員使用。該特殊頁面現在能夠從來源頁面歷史的中段提取段落進行合併，而不僅限於從開頭提取；同時，它也能將修訂版本插入目標頁面歷史中的任意位置，而不僅限於插入開頭。 [25]
• 現在，對於在偏好設定中啟用「自动订阅话题」功能的使用者，無論其透過何種編輯介面來新增或回覆話題，系統皆會自動為其訂閱該話題。先前，僅當使用討論工具（DiscussionTools）的「添加话题」或「回复」按鈕時才會觸發自動訂閱。討論工具最初推出時，既有帳號並未預設啟用自動訂閱話題功能，因此本次變更主要影響較新帳號，以及曾主動更改偏好設定的使用者。 [26]
• Scribunto模組現在能夠生成SVG圖像。此功能能透過Lua來動態建立圖表、圖形及其他視覺化內容，減少外部製圖後上傳檔案的需求。 [27]
• 維基媒體網站現在為所有匿名使用者提供啟用深色模式（黑底白字配色方案）的選項。這項改進旨在提供更舒適的閱讀體驗，尤其是在光線昏暗的環境下。 [28]
• 存有龐大監視清單的使用者長期以來在編輯Special:EditWatchlist頁面時遭遇逾時（timeout）問題。如今透過分頁（paging）機制更新，該頁面將分批載入項目，而非一次性載入全部內容，使所有使用者皆能順暢編輯監視清單。作為資料庫更新的一部分，我們移除了按到期時間排序的功能，因其速度比按標題排序慢100倍以上。我們提交了一件社群願望，探討恢復按到期時間排序功能的替代方案。若該功能對您至關重要，敬請投票支持該願望！ [29]
• 上週有31件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前在視覺化編輯器的「尋找與取代」功能中，即使修改尋找欄位的文字，頁面中原先的文字仍持續高亮顯示，此問題現已修正。 [30]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 自2019年起，維基媒體縮網址服務（網址：https://w.wiki）開放所有維基媒體維基站點使用，可為條目、永久連結、差異頁面等內容建立短網址。該功能可透過側邊欄的「获取短链接」連結存取。目前仍有30個維基站點同時安裝舊版「ShortUrl」擴充功能。舊版擴充功能即將移除，意味著/s/短網址（以帶有class="title-shortlink"的標籤包裹）將不再直接顯示於條目標題下方。但/s/短網址將持續正常運作。 [31]
• 10月30日（四），MediaWiki介面團隊與SRE服務運營團隊開始將Action API流量重新路由至共同API閘道。各維基站點將依據標準MediaWiki版本更新分組進行更新，整體流量將隨時間逐步提升。此變更應為非中斷更新。若發現任何問題，請至Phabricator的服務運營團隊看板提交工單。
• MediaWiki部署列車將於2025年最後兩週（12月22日、29日）暫停。向後移植窗口亦將於2025年12月22日（一）至2026年1月2日（四）期間暫停。向後移植窗口係指預定執行錯誤修正與配置變更等作業的時段。2025年尚餘七次列車部署作業。 [32]
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

深入了解

• 維基媒體基金會指出，由於AI系統與搜尋引擎頻繁引用維基百科內容，卻未能將使用者導向該網站，導致2025年真人瀏覽量較2024年下降8%。在觀察到機器人偽裝成真人的現象後，維基媒體更新了流量數據以反映此變化。關於維基百科當前使用者趨勢，請參閱Diff文章。

• 11月12日開始，部分維基百科的討論頁外觀將變更為新設計。幾乎所有維基已採用新設計；英語維基百科將稍後獲得更新。詳見Diff文章。使用者可以在偏好設定中的「显示讨论活动」選項停用此變更。 [33]
• MediaWiki現可於頁面受保護時自動顯示頁面狀態指示器（頂部圖示）。此功能預設停用，可透過社群請求啟用。 [34]
• 現在，使用wikitext編輯器的「显示预览」或「显示更改」按鈕時，特定URL參數（如useskin、uselang、section）將會保留。此次更新同時修正了以下問題：之前，若瀏覽器在預覽單一章節編輯時崩潰，儲存該編輯可能導致整頁內容被該章節內容覆寫。 [35][36][37]
• 維基導遊站點可在條目內文使用彩色地圖標記。此類標記的文字將改以對比鮮明的黑色或白色顯示，不再始終顯示為白色。針對此問題的本地暫時解方現可移除。 [38]
• Android版維基百科APP的「活動」標籤頁現已開放所有使用者使用。此新標籤頁為使用者提供閱讀、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。 [39]
• 讀者成長團隊（Reader Growth）正計劃推出名為「圖片瀏覽」（Image browsing）的實驗，旨在測試如何讓讀者更輕鬆地瀏覽與探索維基百科條目中的圖片。此實驗為A/B測試，僅限行動裝置，將於11月17日當週在英語維基百科上線，為期四週，影響該站0.05%的使用者。這項測試已於11月3日在中文、阿拉伯語、法語、印尼語和越南語維基百科推出，影響這些站點中至多10%的使用者。 [40]
• 上週有27件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，前陣子監管員無法在行動裝置網站鎖定帳號，此問題現已修正。 [41]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• Wikitech正在進行Toolforge標準委員會的新委員提名。委員會職責包括監督Toolforge的分叉權方針和遺棄工具方針等。提名持續開放至11月28日。
• SUL維基站點的OAuth 2存取憑證中，JWT核發者欄位iss已變更為https://meta.wikimedia.org。舊版存取憑證仍可正常使用。 [42]
• OAuth 2存取憑證中的JWT使用者欄位sub即將從<user id>變更為mw:<identity type>:<user id>，其中<identity type>通常為CentralAuth:（適用於SUL維基站點）或local:<wiki id>（適用於其他維基）。此變更旨在避免不同使用者ID類型間的衝突，並使OAuth 2存取憑證與sessionJwt cookie格式更趨一致。舊版存取憑證仍可正常使用。 [43]
• MediaWiki的封鎖訊息（blockedtext、blockedtext-partial、autoblockedtext、systemblockedtext、blockedtext-tempuser、autoblockedtext-tempuser）新增參數，用以標示使用者是否被禁止編輯自己的使用者討論頁（$9）或寄送電子郵件給其他使用者（MediaWiki:Blockedtext0）。 [44]
• 我們已在Wikimedia git倉庫中為MediaWiki核心和各擴充功能與外觀皮膚建立REL1_45分支。此為MediaWiki 1.45.0版本發布流程的第一步，該版本預計於今年11月下旬推出。若您正在修復關鍵錯誤或開發新功能，請留意此變更。 [45]
• 由於效能下降，我們更新了CirrusSearch轉儲檔的生成流程。若您在改用新轉儲時遇到任何問題，請聯繫搜尋平台團隊（Search Platform）尋求支援。 [46][47]

2025年第48期技術新聞

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

• 上週，維基媒體搜尋團隊在伺服器端重新實現了希伯來語和俄語維基百科的「DWIM」小工具功能（DWIM＝Do What I Mean，照我的意思做）。DWIM小工具讓使用者即使誤切輸入法，也能在搜尋建議中找到原本打算輸入的字。例如，在俄語維基百科搜尋「cxfcnmt」，搜尋建議中會出現「счастье」。團隊預計於本週在其他希伯來語和俄語站點啟用此功能。 [49]
• 本週稍晚，啟用「⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽」測試功能的使用者，將能在討論工具（DiscussionTools）中使用语法高亮功能。使用者需要同時啟用「在源代码模式下启用编辑工具」選項以使用上述功能。 [50]
• CampaignEvents擴充功能——這套用於協調活動及其他維基內協作的工具組，現已部署至所有維基媒體站點。新功能協作貢獻可讓活動籌辦人員與參與者檢視活動成效。歡迎參加即將舉行的學習課程，親身體驗新功能並提供您的意見回饋。
• 上週有24件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，先前CodeReviewBot無法正常運作，現已修正此問題。 [51]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 邀請維基媒體API使用者參與可用性研究，協助驗證Wikimedia REST API沙盒的新設計。有興趣的參與者請填寫招募問卷。 [52]
• MediaWiki介面團隊正著手棄用Action API中的XSLT樣式表。今年11月底，對format=xml&xlst={stylesheet}的支援將從維基媒體專案中移除。此外，MediaWiki的1.43（LTS）、1.44、1.45版本也將預設停用該功能。MediaWiki 1.46版本（預計於2026年4月至5月間發布）將全面移除對XSLT樣式表的支援。 [53]
• WDQS舊版端點（query-legacy-full.wikidata.org）將於今年12月底停止運作，並於2026年1月7日正式關閉。該日之後，若使用者未改用SPARQL聯合查詢，則向query.wikidata.org發出的full圖譜查詢請求將失敗或傳回無效結果。團隊建議使用者確保工具和工作流程改用受支援的WDQS端點（主圖譜：https://query.wikidata.org/或學術圖譜：https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org/）。關於遷移和替代存取方式，詳見資料存取與請求查詢頁面。

2025年第50期技術新聞

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

• 所有維基媒體專案的註冊使用者現可啟用雙重驗證（2FA）來保護其帳號，這是帳號安全計畫的一環。不久後，凡執行涉及安全或隱私敏感操作的使用者，皆須強制啟用雙重驗證。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 繼上週的部署後，「新增链接」功能將於12月9日起擴大部署至另外33個維基百科語言版本。該功能讓編輯者能在編輯過程中加入建議連結。本次擴大部署得益於全新預測模型，該模型現已支援所有語言，包含先前未涵蓋的語言。儘管此功能已在大多數維基百科版本運行一段時間，本次部署將使我們更接近全面採用改良版模型的目標。如有任何疑問或想了解更多詳情，請聯繫Trizek (WMF)。
• 上週，搜尋平台團隊為喬治亞語維基百科新增了即時轉寫搜尋建議功能。若搜尋拉丁字母或西里爾字母僅出現少許常規搜尋建議，搜尋文字會轉換為喬治亞字母來尋找更多結果。例如，在搜尋欄輸入「bedniereba」或「бедниереба」，搜尋建議中會出現現存條目「ბედნიერება」（「幸福」）。若有其他語言需要這類有關轉寫或錯誤鍵盤／輸入法的搜尋建議功能，請在Phabricator提出建議，供未來開發參考。
• 本週稍晚，我們將針對前100大維基百科版本的編輯者，在行動版網頁視覺化編輯器中展開一項對照實驗。其中50%的編輯者將會看到新增的「編輯完整頁面」按鈕，此功能可讓編輯範圍擴展至整頁內容。此設計旨在讓行動版網頁使用者更容易編輯任何條目章節，無須受限於最初點擊的章節編輯圖示。此實驗將持續約4週。詳見工單。
• 本週稍晚，讀者成長團隊將進行一項行動版網頁實驗，預設展開所有條目章節（現行預設為摺疊），並將使用者目前閱讀的章節標題固定於頁面頂端。此實驗將影響中文、阿拉伯語、法語、印尼語、越南語維基百科中10%的使用者。 [57]
• The Wikipedia Year in Review 2025, a feature in the Wikipedia mobile apps (iOS and Android) that provides users with a personalised summary of their engagement with Wikipedia over the year, is now available on the iOS and Android apps. This edition includes expanded personalised insights, improved reading highlights, new donor messaging, and updated designs. Open the app to view your Year in Review and explore your reading journey from 2025.
• A recent software bug caused edits made with VisualEditor to make unintended changes to wikitext, including removing whitespace and replacing spaces with underscores in wikilinks inside citations. This was partially fixed last week, and further fixes are in progress. Editors who used VisualEditor between November 28 and December 2 should review their edits for unexpected modifications. [58]
• 上週有23件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，先前從Microsoft Edge網址欄複製URL再貼到某些維基編輯器中，會錯誤貼上網頁標題而非URL，現已修正此問題。 [59]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 本週開始，啟用「⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽」測試功能的使用者，其Lua、JavaScript、CSS、JSON、Vue內容模型的編輯器將從CodeEditor改為CodeMirror。此變更將同步升級linter。我們計畫逐步取代CodeEditor並提供一致的程式碼編輯體驗。 [60]
• 邀請開發者填寫2025年開發者滿意度調查，開放填寫至2026年1月5日。如果您為維基媒體生態系統開發軟體，並樂意分享經驗或提供意見回饋，我們誠摯歡迎您參與調查。 [61]
• 本週沒有MediaWiki版本更新。

2025年第51期技術新聞

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

• 上週有18件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，先前當臨時帳號在條目加入外部連結，hCaptcha請求被異常地多次觸發，導致首次嘗試發布編輯時未跳出彈窗，現已修正此問題。 [62]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 為提升資料庫與網站效能，導向維基媒體專案的連結將不再作為外部連結儲存於資料庫中。這意味著這些連結將無法透過Special:LinkSearch搜尋，不會被垃圾郵件黑名單或濫用過濾器視為新連結進行檢查，亦不會出現在資料庫複本的externallinks資料表中。未來此措施可能擴展至其他高連結量的可信網站，以維基站點為單位實施，例如維基共享資源上的創用CC連結。 [63]

2026年第4期技術新聞

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

• 行動版Special:Diff頁面中的Tray已重新設計。Tray現預設為折疊狀態，並新增可復原當前檢視編輯的按鈕，讓行動版編輯者與審閱者能更容易執行操作，同時保持介面簡潔。 [74]
• 全域監視清單讓使用者能夠在一個頁面檢視多個維基站點的監視清單。此擴充功能目前正持續改進，現在能自動判斷文字書寫方向（而非依賴硬編碼語言列表），並顯示更詳細的日誌操作描述。本週稍晚，將為頁面建立操作附上固定連結，並為每個項目元素加上專屬CSS類別。 [75][76][77][78]
• 上週有32件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，先前在Vector 2022中，錨點連結的目標遭固定式頁首遮擋，現已修正此問題。 [79]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 如2025年10月的棄用公告所述，MediaWiki介面團隊將於1月26日當週起，逐步廢棄MediaWiki REST API中所有帶有結尾斜線的轉換端點。預計所有維基站點將於1月30日或之前完成變更部署。目前仍呼叫這些端點的API使用者，請盡快轉用不帶結尾斜線的版本。兩種端點變體皆可透過REST沙盒進行查找、比對與測試。如有疑問或遇到問題，請至Phabricator的#MW-Interfaces-Team面板提交工單。
• Wikimedia REST API的互動式參考文件已移動。先前透過RESTBase託管的API文件請求（如https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/）現已重新導向至REST沙盒。
• 維基媒體基金會維基數據平台團隊（WDP）發布了2026年1月電子報。本期內容包括：舊版完整圖譜端點（full-graph endpoint）的退役；使用者代理（User-Agent）方針的修訂；關於Blazegraph遷移的每月諮詢時段；因應舊版端點關閉所引發迴歸問題的改善措施。歡迎訂閱WDP電子報！
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

會議與活動

• 2026年西北歐維基媒體黑客松將於2026年3月13日至14日在荷蘭阿納姆舉行。報名自12月中旬開始，將於近期截止或額滿為止。這是一場為期兩天、以技術為導向的黑客松，將吸引當地維基人一同參與。期待與您相會！

2026年第5期技術新聞

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

• Wikimedia Foundation invites comments on proposed future of the Product and Technology Advisory Council until 28 February.
• All users with registered accounts can now use passkeys for two-factor authentication (2FA). Passkeys are a simple way to log in without using a second device. They verify the user's identity using a fingerprint, face scan, or a PIN code. To set up a passkey, first set up a regular 2FA method. Currently, to log in with a passkey, users must also use a password. Later this quarter, passwordless login will allow users to log in with a single click and a passkey. Users with advanced rights will also be required to have 2FA enabled. This is part of the Account Security project.
• Unregistered contributors on blocked IPs or blocked IP ranges can now interact on-wiki to appeal a block by creating a temporary account to appeal a block on the user talk page, unless the "prevent this user from editing their own talk page" is enabled. This solves the problem of logged-out users unable to use the default unblock process via user talk page. [80]
• 上週有20件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，雙重驗證（2FA）管理頁面上的雙重驗證方法說明已更新。現在說明文字更清晰易懂，使用者能更容易理解並運用相關功能。 [81]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• A new AbuseFilter variable, account_type, has been added to provide a reliable way to determine the account type being created in the createaccount and autocreateaccount actions. As part of this change, the variable accountname has been renamed to account_name, and accountname is now deprecated. Edit filter managers should update any filters that use hardcoded account type checks or the deprecated variable. [82]
• Image thumbnails that are requested in non-standard sizes, and using non-standard methods such as direct requests to upload.wikimedia.org/… will stop working in the near future. This change is to prevent ongoing external abuse by web-scrapers and bots. Some users with custom CSS/JS, Interface Admins who can fix gadgets and local skins, and Tool-authors, will need to update their code to use standard thumbnail sizes. Details, search-links, and examples of how to fix them, are available in the task.

2026年第7期技術新聞

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

• 監視清單中存有大量頁面的編輯者現可用新功能「監視清單標籤」^※來整理與篩選監視清單，幫助優化工作流程。透過新增自訂標籤（如：自己建立的頁面、需監控破壞行為的頁面、討論頁），使用者能更快速辨識需關注的編輯，降低認知負荷，並更有效率地應對。此功能讓監視清單更容易使用，對活躍編輯者尤為助益。（※＝Watchlist labels，勿與編輯標籤「tag」混淆）
• Special:Contributions推出新功能，可顯示很可能由同一人操作的臨時帳號，從而減少巡查耗時。當查核臨時帳號的貢獻時，具有臨時帳號IP位址存取權限的使用者，現在能查看其他相關臨時帳號的貢獻。此功能會在資料保留期間內，查詢與特定臨時帳號關聯的所有IP位址，並顯示曾使用這些IP位址的所有臨時帳號的貢獻紀錄。了解更多。 [86]
• 預覽wikitext編輯時，頂部顯示的提醒框（「這只是預覽……」）背景色已由警告黃底改為中性灰底。此變更有助於區分預覽提示與實際警告訊息（如編輯衝突或重定向目標錯誤），後者現改以獨立的警告框或錯誤框呈現。 [87]
• 全域監視清單讓使用者能夠在一個頁面檢視多個維基站點的監視清單。此擴充功能目前正持續改進，現已完整支援多個Wikibase站點，例如同時涵蓋維基數據與測試版維基數據。此外，已修正右至左（RTL）文字顯示問題。 [88][89]
• 因缺乏彈性且難以本地化，wikitext中為ISBN、RFC、PMID編號自動生成連結的「魔術連結」功能已於2021年棄用。RFC與PMID魔術連結能以等效外部連結取代（部分維基站點已完成替換），但ISBN魔術連結通常需要模板才能完成替換。現已推出內建解析器函數{{#isbn}}，可取代ISBN魔術連結的基本功能，方便完成替換作業。 [90]
• 已新建兩個維基：
  • 卡捷語维基百科 (w:kaj:) [91]
  • Nawat語维基百科 (w:ppl:) [92]
• 上週有23件由社群提交的工單得到解決。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 新增了一個全域使用者群組：局域机器人。此群組將由軟體內部使用，允許社群機器人繞過針對惡意網頁抓取工具所施加的速率限制。凡在至少一個維基媒體站點獲准為機器人的帳號，將自動加入此群組。此舉不會改變機器人原有的使用者權限。 [93]
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

會議與活動

• 2026年春季MediaWiki使用者與開發者大會將於3月25日至27日在美國鹽湖城舉行。本活動由第三方MediaWiki社群主辦，並面向該社群。您可以提出議程並報名參加。 [94]

2026年第8期技術新聞

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

• SRE團隊將對維基媒體托管的Etherpad實例進行清理作業。Etherpad是一款網頁式即時協作文件編輯器。所有Pad文件將於2026年4月30日後永久刪除，若屆時仍有進行中的遷移專案，團隊可視個別情況重新評估日期。資料刪除後無法復原，請務必為希望保留的內容建立本地備份。本次清理旨在縮減資料庫規模並降低基礎設施佔用資源。Etherpad將持續支援即時協作功能，但請勿將其視為長期儲存服務。未來可能再次進行清理作業，屆時恕不另行通知。 [95]

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 資訊檢索團隊將在Android版維基百科APP展開實驗，測試能夠同時處理語義查詢與關鍵字查詢的混合搜尋功能。這項改進將使讀者更容易直接在維基百科上找到所需內容。實驗將於2月下旬首先在希臘語維基百科上線，隨後於3月在英語、法語、葡萄牙語推出。更多詳情請參閱Diff文章。 [96]
• The Reader Growth team will run an experiment for mobile web users, that adds a table of contents and automatically expands all article sections, to learn more about navigation issues they face. The test will be available on Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias.
• 先前，網站公告（MediaWiki:Sitenotice和MediaWiki:Anonnotice）只會在桌面版顯示。現在，這些公告將顯示在所有平台。行動版網頁使用者將能看見這些公告並獲取相關資訊。管理員應準備測試並修正網站公告在行動裝置上的顯示情況，以避免影響條目閱讀體驗。若需停用此變更，介面管理員可在MediaWiki:Minerva.css中加入樣式規則：#siteNotice { display: none; }。 [97][98]
• 上週有19件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，先前在Special:RecentChanges中，點擊篩選器的「隐藏」會導致「查看……之后的新更改」按鈕消失，但該按鈕理應保持可見狀態。現已修正此問題，按鈕功能恢復正常運作。 [99]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• New documentation is now available to help editors debug on-site search features. It supports troubleshooting when pages do not appear in results, when ranking seems unexpected, and when you need to inspect what content is being indexed, helping make search behavior easier to understand and analyze. Learn more. [100]

2026年第9期技術新聞

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

• 参考文献检查功能已在英语维基百科部署完成，标志着该功能已在所有维基百科语言版本推广完成。该功能会在新用户发布内容前提示他们添加引用，有助于减少因缺乏引用而被撤销的情况，并提高条目的可验证性。在A/B测试中，该功能效果显著：A/B测试显示效果显著：使用该功能的新用户在桌面端添加引用的比例增加约2.2倍，在移动端则增加约17.5倍。 [101]

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 维基百科已撤销部署跨wiki排序扩展，该扩展曾提供跨wiki链接排序功能。因此，之前在“非紧凑模式（完整列表）”下进行跨维基链接排序的编辑者，他们的链接顺序将发生变化。今后链接将按语言代码的字母顺序显示。 [102]
• 本週稍晚，使用移动版可视化编辑器按段编辑页面的用户将看到新增的“编辑整页”按钮。点击后可切换到整页编辑，便于在修改内容跨段时一次性编辑整篇条目。当需要修改的内容超出当前段落时，该功能可省去反复打开其他段落的步骤，使用更方便。 [103][104]
• 读者体验团队正在邀请编辑者并根据他们在桌面端和移动端的使用情况，评估深色模式是否仍需在各自站点维持“测试版”状态。如果认为该功能已经成熟，编辑者可以更新MediaWiki:skin-theme-description和MediaWiki:Vector-night-mode-beta-tag中的介面提示，说明深色模式已可正式使用，不再处于测试阶段。
• 改进后的活动标签页现已向维基百科iOS应用程序（7.9.0及以上版本）的所有用户开放。A/B测试显示，启用该功能的用户注册率显著提高；因此我们已向所有用户全面推送该功能，并同时推出若干更新。活动标签页现在会在时间轴中显示用户编辑过的条目，提供编辑影响洞察（例如贡献次数与条目浏览趋势），并支持自定义选项以优化应用内体验。
• 上週有21件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，先前讨论工具（DiscussionTools）在移动设备上无法正常使用，功能现已全面恢复。 [105]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 全域监视列表可在同一页面显示来自多个维基站点的监视列表。此扩展目前正持續改進，最新增加了新钩子ext.globalwatchlist.rebuild，该钩子会在每次重建监视列表后触发。这使您能在该页面运行小工具和用户脚本。 [106]

Events

• Upcoming events:
  • Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group session 3 March, 2026: We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Session on Tuesday, March 3 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone converter). Wikiproject P244 maintenance uses SPARQL queries to identify and resolve two types of constraint violations in Wikidata: instances of Wikidata items with more than one LCNAF identifier and instances of the same LCNAF identifier existing on more than one Wikidata item. The February 17th session walked participants through how to resolve the former issue, while the March 3rd session will focus on the latter. This session will be more discussion-focused, since instances where two LCNAF identifier have the same Wikidata item can be difficult to resolve because of Wikidata’s innate quirks. Maybe your ideas will become the official best practice!

2026年第10期技術新聞

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

• 維基百科25週年生日模式現已在中文、布列塔尼語、印尼語、西西里語、西班牙語、貝塔維語、法語、科隆達羅語、英語、泰語、馬都拉語、捷克語、荷蘭語、越南語、義大利語及盧森堡語維基百科上線！此限時活動為慶祝維基百科成立25週年，特別推出生日吉祥物「拼圖球寶寶」（Baby Globe）。啟用生日模式後，拼圖球寶寶將出現在約2500篇條目中，靜待讀者發現。要在本地維基啟用生日模式，管理員可在社群取得共識後啟用此功能，亦可在社群配置功能中進行自訂。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 子引用功能已在瑞典語、波蘭語維基百科及其他數個維基站點推出，此新功能可在重複使用參考資料時能修改部分細節。您可在上述站點、測試維基或Beta維基來試用此功能。首個試行站點——德語維基百科的實施經驗已彙整成報告發布。若您的社群有意參與試行，請聯繫德國維基媒體協會團隊。
• 本週，貼上檢查（Paste check）功能將在所有維基百科站點上線。此功能針對使用視覺化編輯器的新編者，當他們將由他人撰寫的內容貼入條目時，此功能會提示其思考此舉是否可能侵犯著作權。凡觸發此功能的編輯內容，系統皆會標上標籤供其他編者審核。本地管理員可透過Special:EditChecks頁面設定此功能的各項參數。橫跨22個維基站點的研究顯示，相較於對照組，貼上檢查功能使編輯回退率減少了18%。誠摯邀請翻譯者協助本地化此功能及相關功能。
• 閱讀體驗團隊將為所有行動版使用者統一右上角的使用者選單，使其更貼近桌面版的使用體驗。目前此選單僅對啟用行動版進階模式（AMC）的使用者顯示。本次變更後，未啟用AMC的使用者將有若干按鈕從左側選單移至右上角。此變更旨在改善UI，預計於3月9日推出。 [107]
• 自3月2日當週起，當帳號新增、移除或變更電子郵件地址時，系統發送的通知郵件將由原先的純文字格式，更改為更美觀清晰的HTML格式電子郵件。 [108]
• 目前，每位使用者的通知匣最多可儲存2000筆紀錄，可追溯至2013年該功能推出之初。這將調整為僅儲存近五年內的通知記錄，但數量上限提升至1萬筆。此變更有助於基礎設施的長期穩定運行，並避免近期通知過早消失。 [109]
• 全域監視清單可在同一頁面顯示來自多個維基站點的監視清單。此擴充功能目前正持續改進，最新改進了維基數據項目標籤的使用體驗。現在，全域監視清單為維基數據等站點啟用了語言備援系統，若維基數據項目缺少使用者檢視語言的標籤，將以備援語言或使用者偏好的維基數據語言顯示這些標籤（若提供uselang= URL參數則以該語言為檢視語言）。 [110][111]
• 維基百科Android團隊已在希臘語維基百科啟動混合搜尋功能的Beta測試。混合搜尋功能可同時處理語義查詢與關鍵字查詢，讓讀者能更容易直接在維基百科上找到所需內容。
• 出於安全考量，位於特定使用者群組的使用者將必須啟用雙重認証（2FA）。當前，只有在使用相關權限時才會檢查並要求啟用2FA，而單純位於相關使用者群組內則不需要。考量到即便如此依然可能存在安全漏洞，基金會自三月起將逐步改變現狀。處於這些使用者群組的使用者只要還擁有相關使用者群組身分便不能從自己的帳號中移除全部的2FA方式，同時有權者亦無法將沒有啟用2FA的使用者加入到這些群組中。只要帳號中至少還留有一個2FA方式，這些使用者依然可以自由添加和移除額外的2FA方式。目前決定以下使用者群組將受到新規則的限制：CentralNotice administrators、使用者查核員、介面管理員、監督員、Wikidata staff、Wikifunctions staff、WMF Office IT和WMF Trust & Safety。其他使用者不受影響。關於新規定生效的時程詳見連結的工單。 [112]
• 上週有27件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，先前有個問題導致使用者無法在Wikibase.cloud建立實例，現已修正此問題。 [113]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 為確保基礎設施的合理使用，維基媒體基金會將於未來一個月內對所有API全面實施速率限制。3月初，針對並非來自Toolforge/WMCS且未經身份驗證的請求，以及透過網頁瀏覽器發出的API請求，將實施更嚴格的流量限制。4月起，已驗證流量將適用較高限額。此限額刻意設定得盡可能高，以盡量減少對社群的影響。目前在Toolforge/WMCS運行的機器人和擁有站內機器人權限的機器人應不受影響。不過，我們建議所有開發者遵循最新的最佳實踐。詳情請參閱維基媒體API/速率限制。（WMCS＝Wikimedia Cloud Services）
• 維基數據查詢服務的鏈結資料片段（LDF）端點將於2月停止運作。此端點原本服務流量有限，現已成功遷移至其他更適合支援現有用例的資料存取方式。原本用於支援LDF端點的硬體設備將重新分配，以支援進行中的後端遷移工作。 [114]
• 新版解析器Parsoid正持續部署至更多維基站點，這不僅能提升平台永續性，亦有助於導入新的閱讀與編輯功能。目前Parsoid已成為488個維基媒體站點（含268個維基百科站點）的預設解析器，涵蓋超過10%的維基百科頁面瀏覽量。
• 維基媒體企業服務API高流量資料源的特殊存取權限申請流程與標準現已正式發布（符合維基媒體使命的用例可免費取得）。此舉旨在為使用者提供更詳盡清晰的說明文件。
• Tech Blog，這個專為維基媒體技術社群設立的部落格，預計將遷移至社群新聞與活動部落格——Diff。遷移作業預計於2026年4月完成，之後將開放刊登新文章。讀者可在入口頁面瀏覽所有新舊文章。

2026年第11期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 3月25日，所有維基媒體站點將進入唯讀狀態幾分鐘，預定於15:00 UTC開始。這是資料中心伺服器切換備份測試的必要程序，每年執行兩次。切換作業期間，所有維基媒體網站流量將從主要資料中心轉移至備援資料中心，以測試系統可用性，並確保即使面臨突發狀況，服務依然能維持不中斷。
• 上週，所有維基媒體站點進入了為期2小時的唯讀狀態，且使用者腳本與小工具功能在當日間暫時停用。此情況源於一件安全事故，目前已獲解決。相關團隊正在研擬防範措施，以避免類似問題再度發生。最新資訊請參閱監管員布告板的公告（翻譯版本）。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 在行動裝置上遭遇多重封鎖的使用者，現在將能分別查看每項封鎖的具體原因，而非籠統的提示訊息。這將有助於使用者理解封鎖原因及可採取的解決措施。例如，因使用常見VPN（如iCloud私密轉送）而受影響的使用者，將獲得更清晰的指引，說明如何恢復編輯功能。 [115]
• 本週稍晚，建議模式將作為測試功能在所有維基百科的視覺化編輯器中上線。此功能會主動建議使用者可執行的各種編輯操作，以改善維基百科條目，同時協助使用者了解相關指引。此功能支援本地配置，亦可自訂「建議」項目來擴充此功能。現行設定可在Special:EditChecks頁面查看，該頁亦提供管理員操作指引，來設定「建議」中的連結應該指向哪個本地指引。此功能與編輯檢查功能連動，能在使用者撰寫新內容時提供改進建議。編輯團隊未來將透過控制實驗評估此功能對新使用者的影響。 [116]
• 上週有23件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前使用CodeMirror的語法高亮功能（此功能可讓wikitext與代碼更易於閱讀）時，游標位置可能會出現錯位，現已修正此問題。這個問題特別影響到在個人CSS中自訂字型，並使用討論工具（DiscussionTools）建立新話題的使用者。 [117]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 【API速率限制更新】為確保基礎設施的合理使用，本週起將對以下請求實施全面API速率限制：並非來自Toolforge/WMCS且未使用合規使用者代理的請求；來自網頁瀏覽器且未經身份驗證的請求。4月起，已驗證流量將適用較高限額。目前在Toolforge/WMCS運行的機器人和擁有站內機器人權限的機器人應不受影響。不過，我們建議所有開發者遵循最新的最佳實踐。詳情請參閱維基媒體API/速率限制。（WMCS＝Wikimedia Cloud Services）
• 新的GraphQL API現已發布。此API旨在成為維基數據查詢服務（WDQS）特定功能的彈性替代方案，以期提升開發者體驗、促進適應性，並實現高效數據存取。歡迎試用並提供意見回饋，您亦可報名參與可用性測試。
• 遺棄工具支援工作組（PTAC Unsupported Tools Working Group）於2月持續改進Video2Commons，解決了驗證錯誤、大型檔案處理等問題，同時提升了任務佇列可見度，並使上傳行為更明確。部分工作仍在進行中，包括與已棄用伺服器端上傳相關的變更。了解更多。
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

深入了解

• 條目導引團隊誠邀選定試行維基的資深維基百科編輯者，以及其他維基百科的熱心貢獻者填寫這份問卷。問卷提供英語、阿拉伯語、孟加拉語、日語、葡萄牙語、波斯語及土耳其語版本。您的回覆將協助團隊為經驗較少的編輯者量身打造導引，使其在撰寫條目時能同步學習社群方針與慣例。更多詳情請參閱專案頁面。

2026年第12期技術新聞

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譯版本。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 2024年11月，⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽（亦稱為CodeMirror 6）以測試功能推出，用於wikitext的語法高亮顯示。此功能預計將於2026年5月正式推出，向所有使用該功能的編輯者提供改進與新功能。若您對此功能的正式推出有任何疑問或顧慮，敬請提出。 [118]
• Some changes to local user groups are performed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and logged there only. Now, interwiki rights changes will be logged both on Meta-Wiki and the wiki of the target user to make it easier to access a full record of user's rights changes on a local wiki. Past log entries for such changes will be backfilled in the coming weeks. [119]
• On wikis using Flagged Revisions, the number of pending changes shown on Special:待定更改 previously counted pages which were no longer pending review, because they have been removed from the system without being reviewed, e.g. due to being deleted, moved to a different namespace, or due to wiki configuration changes. The count will be correct now. On some wikis the number shown will be much smaller than before. There should be no change to the list of pages itself. [120]
• 維基函數的複合語言（composition language）已重新編寫。此次重寫旨在透過降低協調器的記憶體消耗，來提升服務的穩定性。此次重寫還帶來了顯著的延遲降低、代碼簡化以及更好的抽象化，為日後的功能擴展奠定基礎。了解更多。
• Users can now sort search results alphabetically by page title. The update gives an additional option to finding pages more easily and quickly. Previously, results could be sorted by Edit date, Creation date, or Relevance. To use the new option, open 'Advanced Search' on the search results page and select 'Alphabetically' under 'Sorting Order'. [121]
• 上週有28件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前維基共享資源的上傳嚮導出現異常，無法從Flickr匯入檔案，現已修正此問題。 [122]

• A new special page, Special:LintTemplateErrors, has been created to list transcluded pages that are flagged as containing lint errors to help users discover them easily. The list is sorted by the number of transclusions with errors. For example: Special:LintTemplateErrors/night-mode-unaware-background-color. [123]
• 一段時間以來，對於啟用「⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽」測試功能的使用者，在編輯JavaScript、CSS、JSON、Vue、Lua內容頁面時，編輯器已改用CodeMirror取代CodeEditor進行語法高亮。隨著CodeMirror 6的正式推出，我們預計於2026年5月以CodeMirror取代CodeEditor，作為這些內容模型的標準編輯器。歡迎提出意見或疑慮。 [124]
• CodeMirror的JavaScript模組即將升級至CodeMirror 6。在此次升級之前，在小工具和使用者腳本中載入ext.CodeMirror或ext.CodeMirror.lib模組的方法已於2025年7月標為棄用。此外，ext.CodeMirror.switch鉤子的使用亦已於2025年3月標為棄用。貢獻者現在可以修改腳本或小工具，使其與CodeMirror 6相容。詳情請參閱遷移指南。 [125]
• MediaWiki介面團隊正在擴大REST API模組的定義範圍，將「擴充功能API」納入其中。REST API模組是由一系列相關端點組成的群組，可獨立進行管理與版本控制。目前已為GrowthExperiments和維基函數API建立模組。隨著我們將「擴充功能API」遷移至此架構中，相關文件將從MediaWiki OpenAPI主要規格及REST沙盒檢視中移出，改為透過REST沙盒（即Special:RestSandbox，所有維基專案皆可使用）下拉選單中的模組專屬選項存取。
• Scribunto擴充功能透過mw.site函式庫，為模組提供維基站點的各項資訊。自上週起，該函式庫亦提供了一種存取維基站點ID的方式，可用於簡化跨維基模組的維護工作。 [126]

2026年第13期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 現在，維基媒體網站使用者可以使用通行密鑰（passkeys）無需密碼即可登入。這是一種支援指紋、臉部辨識和PIN碼的安全登入方式。隨著這項變更，所有選擇無密碼登入的使用者，將能更加便捷、快速、安全地使用任何裝置登入帳號。目前，新的通行密鑰登入選項會以「自動填入建議」的形式出現在使用者名稱欄位中。不久後，將為已註冊通行密鑰的使用者提供額外的「使用通行密鑰登入」按鈕。此更新將提升安全性與使用者體驗。參看螢幕錄影影片逐步演示無密碼登入的流程。
• 3月25日，所有維基媒體站點將進入唯讀狀態幾分鐘，預定於15:00 UTC開始。這是資料中心伺服器切換備份測試的必要程序，每年執行兩次。切換作業期間，所有維基媒體網站流量將從主要資料中心轉移至備援資料中心，以測試系統可用性，並確保即使面臨突發狀況，服務依然能維持不中斷。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 維基媒體網站的使用者現在可以透過新的Toolforge工具，匯出超過5年的通知。這將確保使用者能保留重要通知，並避免因先前公告的變更計畫——刪除超過5年的通知——而導致通知遺失。 [127]
• 土耳其語、印尼語、泰語、簡單英語維基百科的編輯者，現已可使用Special:PersonalDashboard。這是該功能的早期版本，旨在引導新編輯者熟悉巡查工作流程，協助他們更容易從編輯工作，過渡到參與專案中的進階維護管理工作。 [128]
• Special:Block頁面有兩項小幅介面調整。管理員現可透過「期限」區塊中的專用單選鈕，輕鬆執行無限期封鎖。此外，選擇「無限期」時，系統會提供另一組常見理由供選擇，可在以下頁面修改：MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown。 [129]
• 得益於Growth團隊最近的更新，多個維基站點的行動版編輯者現在可以看到經過改進的「未登入編輯」警告。這些於上週發布的變更，是我們持續努力和測試的一部分，旨在提升行動端的帳號建立體驗，進而增加參與度。 [130]
• 上週有36件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前行動版網頁使用者在受到多重封鎖影響時無法查看封鎖資訊，現已修正此問題。現在，當他們瀏覽維基百科時，可查看所有目前影響他們的封鎖的相關訊息。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 使用Toolforge建立的映像檔即將升級至新版建構包，此版本將支援較新的語言版本，並包含其他上游的改進與修正。如果您使用Toolforge建構服務，請查閱最近的cloud-announce電子郵件，並視需要更新您的建構配置，以確保您的工具相容。 [131][132]

• API Portal這一說明文件維基將於2026年6月關閉。在API Portal上建立的API金鑰將繼續正常運作。api.wikimedia.org端點將自2026年7月起逐步停用。API Portal上的文件將移動至MediaWiki.org。了解更多。

Wikis using the Reference Tooltips gadget are encouraged to update their version (typically at MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js as shown here) to ensure compatibility. Other reference-related gadgets may also be affected. [135]
• All Wikinews editions will be closed and switched to read-only mode on 4 May 2026. Content will remain accessible, but no new edits or articles can be added. This closure was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation following extended discussions. Read more.
• The Action API has had several formats for requested output. One of them, format=php, is being removed soon. Please ensure your scripts or bots use the JSON format. This removal should affect very few scripts and bots. [136]
• The Special:NamespaceInfo page now includes namespace aliases. For example "WP" for the "Project" ("Wikipedia") namespace on the German Wikipedia. [137]

2026年第16期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 誠摯邀請資深編輯者參與測試「條目建立指南」功能，此功能旨在協助經驗較少的編輯者創建結構完善且符合方針指引的維基百科條目。請參閱測試說明。此外，請在審閱完大綱後，於專案討論頁提供意見回饋。我們將根據您的回饋來優化該功能，並移交至參與試行的維基百科站點以進行翻譯與調整。請觀看此功能的介紹影片。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 在大多數維基，所有自動確認使用者現在可使用Special:ChangeContentModel頁面來自訂新頁面的內容模型（如大量信息递送列表）並建立，讓更多人能利用wikitext以外的內容格式。查看Special:ListGroupRights來確認您的維基是否有這項變更。 [138]
• 成长团队已启动一项账户创建实验，旨在评估在移动网页页眉中添加账户创建按钮，是否能增加新账户注册量，并鼓励更多移动用户参与维基百科的贡献。该实验目前已在印地语、印度尼西亚语、孟加拉语、泰语和希伯来语维基百科上线，面向10%的未登录移动网页用户。
• 上週有30件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前在微軟Windows裝置上，若「動畫效果」設為關閉，維基視覺化編輯器可能會在載入時卡住，現已修正此問題。 [139]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 本週稍晚起，對於啟用「⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽」測試功能的过滤器编辑者，Special:AbuseFilter中的編輯器將從CodeEditor改為CodeMirror。我們計畫讓所有編輯器的UX更加一致。 [140][141]
• 访问通知API(action=query&meta=notifications)的工具和机器人，需要更新其OAuth或BotPassword授权，以包含对私有通知的访问权限。 [142]
• 由于库升级，自4月20日（星期一）起，分类页面上的列表显示顺序可能会出现错乱。我们将运行迁移脚本来修复此问题；根据维基规模的大小，修复过程可能耗时数小时至数天（对于英语维基百科，最长可能需要一周）。 [143]
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

技術新聞由技術新聞編者準備，並由機器人送達 • 貢獻 • 翻譯 • 获取帮助 • 提供反馈 • 訂閱或退訂。

2026年第17期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 經過兩年的開發，⧼codemirror-beta-feature-title⧽（亦稱為CodeMirror 6）將於4月21日（二）正式推出。此功能將為所有使用標準語法高亮的編輯者帶來更佳的代碼與wikitext可讀性、減少輸入錯誤，以及其他諸多好處。特別感謝志願者Bhsd，他開發了許多新功能，包括代碼摺疊、自動完成和Lint檢查。 [144]
• 維基百科iOS版應用程式推出重大更新，重新設計了介面，以符合Apple最新的「Liquid Glass」視覺設計。請下載最新版本來體驗此次更新。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 「閱讀清單」功能可讓讀者將條目儲存至清單中，以便日後閱讀。此功能目前已在中文、印尼語、法語、阿拉伯語及越南語維基百科上開放測試，並為所有維基百科新帳號預設啟用。
• 4月20日當週將啟動將「頁面預覽」功能擴展至行動版網頁的實驗，在法語、波蘭語、阿拉伯語、英語、越南語、義大利語維基百科上推出。「頁面預覽」是一種彈窗，會顯示條目的縮圖、序言，以及一個可點擊開啟完整條目的藍色链接，藉此提升內容的探索體驗。此功能已在桌面版網頁及手機APP中提供。了解詳情。
• 在多個維基站點上，已登入但尚未驗證電子郵件地址的編輯者，現在會看到一則橫幅，鼓勵他們進行驗證。驗證電子郵件地址後，若使用者遺失帳號，即可藉此取回對該帳號的存取權限。了解詳情。 [145]
• 上週有15件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前在2017年版wikitext編輯器中編輯內容龐大的維基頁面時，會出現載入緩慢、預覽與捲動延遲，以及在選取、剪下或貼上內容時出現效能問題，現已修正此問題。 [146]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 隨著CodeMirror正式推出，所有使用者在編輯JavaScript、CSS、JSON、Vue、Lua內容頁面時，將改用CodeMirror進行語法高亮，取代CodeEditor。 [147]
• 專為Debian和Ubuntu使用者提供的mirrors.wikimedia.org服務將於5月15日停止運作。該服務的軟硬體資源將更換為更先進的設備。部分使用者可能需要切換至其他伺服器，此過程約需一分鐘。了解詳情。 [148]
• image和oldimage資料表將從Wiki Replicas中移除。若您的工具或查詢會直接存取image或oldimage資料表，請務必於5月28日之前更新相關程式，改用file和filerevision資料表。 [149]
• 繼近期針對未經身份驗證流量實施全面API速率限制後，維基媒體基金會將持續致力於確保基礎設施的合理使用，並將自4月最後一週起，對已驗證的API流量實施全面限制。此限額刻意設定得盡可能高，以盡量減少對社群的影響。目前在Toolforge/WMCS運行的機器人和擁有站內機器人權限的機器人應不受影響。不過，我們建議所有開發者遵循最新的最佳實踐。詳情請參閱維基媒體API/速率限制及常見問題解答。（WMCS＝Wikimedia Cloud Services）
• 姓名標示API現已開放Beta測試。此API可在任何使用維基媒體條目及媒體檔案之處，擷取用於標示來源的資訊。相關參考文件可透過所有維基媒體站點上的REST沙盒特殊頁面查閱（例如中文維基百科上的REST沙盒）。請在專案討論頁分享您的意見回饋。
• 本週沒有MediaWiki版本更新。

2026年第18期技術新聞

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譯版本。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 為提升反破壞保護的效果，新的使用者獲得自動確認身分的方式將有變更。目前，帳號註冊後達到指定日數和編輯數的使用者會自動被歸入自动确认用户群組中，但是這種認定方式目前有被部分破壞者利用的趨勢，他們會特意囤積新帳號，等到時間到了再啟用。為了減少這種惡用的衝擊，下週起，在授予自動確認身分的時候所認定的帳號年齡將從第一筆編輯之日算起，而不再是從註冊時算起。規定的日數閾值本身不變。此變更僅會部署至將「至少進行一次編輯」列為自動確認條件的維基站點。 [150]
• 所有新註冊的維基百科使用者，以及在偏好設定中啟用「自动启用大部分测试功能」選項的維基百科使用者，現在皆可以使用「閱讀清單」測試功能，將條目儲存起來以便日後閱讀。這有助於將有興趣的條目集中管理於一處，方便隨時查閱。
• 上週有30件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前在Firefox中，資訊框圖片有過寬的Padding，現已修正此問題。 [151]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 謹此提醒，本週將對已驗證的API流量實施全面API速率限制。此舉旨在確保基礎設施的合理使用。目前在Toolforge/WMCS運行的機器人和擁有站內機器人權限的機器人應不受影響。不過，我們建議所有開發者遵循最新的最佳實踐。關於速率限制的具體數值等詳情，請參閱維基媒體API/速率限制及常見問題解答。（WMCS＝Wikimedia Cloud Services）

2026年第19期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 條目指南團隊誠摯邀請參與試行的維基百科站點（土耳其語、日語、西班牙語、孟加拉語、法語、波斯語、阿拉伯語、葡萄牙語、簡單英語）的資深編輯者，協助翻譯並調整範例大綱。該功能預定於2026年5月上線，屆時這些大綱將引導編輯者撰寫清晰、結構完善且符合方針指引的條目。請參閱關於如何翻譯及調整大綱的簡易說明。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 產品與技術諮詢委員會發布了一份建議草案，內容針對自治體在參與技術領域時可遵循的模式。誠邀社群成員於5月8日前在討論頁上針對草案提供意見回饋。
• 作為持續提升效能並減輕縮圖服務負擔的一環，偏好設定中的可用縮圖尺寸將精簡為三種標準選項：小（180px）、中（250px）、大（400px）。現有設定將映射至最接近且較大的尺寸（例如，120px或150px將以180px顯示，300px或360px將以400px顯示）。偏好設定介面將很快更新以反映這些變更，使用者若希望選擇非標準尺寸或提供意見回饋，請參閱工單。 [152]
• 從現在起，使用者將在權限自動到期時收到類似權限變更通知的Echo通知。這與全域提醒機器人不同，該機器人會在權限即將到期前一週提醒使用者，以便他們能及時申請延長權限。
• 上週有32件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前Special:Translate頁面中ULS語言選擇器在不該捲動時垂直捲動，現已修正此問題。 [153]
• 全域監視清單可在同一頁面顯示來自多個維基站點的監視清單。此功能目前正持續改進，更新包括：Wikibase站點（如維基數據）的監視清單現已支援EntitySchema元素，以實現更完善的追蹤功能；動態更新模式現在每60秒刷新一次，以符合最新的全域API速率限制，從而提升即時響應能力；此外，之前混合不同書寫方向的清單會將連結顯示為「changes 3」而非「3 changes」，現已修正此問題。 [154][155][156]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 全域API速率限制的第二階段已正式實施，旨在減輕AI爬蟲的影響，並確保維基媒體資源能獲得合理且可持續的存取，優先處理真人及符合維基媒體使命的流量。流量限額已從每小時調整為每分鐘計量，從而使流量模式更為平穩，API負載也更容易預測。社群使用者應不受影響，且無需採取任何行動。初步跡象顯示，部分基於使用者代理的請求者正在調整行為，目前約有64%的自動化API流量可被識別身份。監控工作仍在持續進行，維基媒體企業服務（Wikimedia Enterprise）仍提供商業支援服務。

• GapMap.Wiki - explore knowledge gaps between different language Wikipedia's. GapMap identifies Wikipedia articles that exist in many languages but missing from the target, helping editors prioritize which articles to translate or create. No AI is used, just comparing publicly available databases.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• Mobile editors can now edit all datatypes directly in the mobile view. To help improve this new interface, Wikimedia Deutschland is looking for volunteers (especially editors from Right-to-left languages) for UX testing sessions. Participants will be compensated for their time. Sign up here (greatquestion) and learn more on the project page: Mobile editing of statements

Newest properties and property proposals to review

• Newest General datatypes:
  • ‎energy density (amount of energy extractable from a substance (e.g. in a combustion engine) per unit of volume or of mass)
  • ‎Parental Advisory System rating (content rating for coin-operated video games)
• Newest External identifierss: Cyprus company ID, ‎DBNL title ID, ShotOnWhat film ID, ‎Shinmei database ID, ‎ColBase ID, Lubimyczytać version/edition ID, Files of the Reich Chancellery ID, ‎Darwin Correspondence person ID, ‎Gidrologicheskaya Izuchennost Code, ‎Brew TV movie ID, National Archives of Japan Digital Archive ID, PlayStation Trophies trophy ID, Tax Identification Number (Spain), ‎19star actor ID
• New General datatypes property proposals to review: concentration camp prisoner number (registration or prisoner number assigned to a person in camps operated under Nazi persecution between 1933 and 1945)
• New External identifier property proposals to review: ID für Kulturdenkmale in Lübeck, Datenbank-ID für Kulturdenkmale in Lübeck, Prime Video URL ID, Prime Video GTI, Portable Antiquities Scheme record ID, Identifiant d'un(e) éditeurice dans le DEF19 2.0, Apple TV parson ID, CINEMATODAY film ID, Verfassungsblog author ID, Blätter author ID, EGAFD film ID, Museum of Canadian Music artist ID, Museum of Canadian Music work ID, BGAFD film ID, Movielens ID, Instrumentalistinnen-Lexikon ID, parliament.scot member ID

Did you know?

• Query examples:
  • Astronauts members of Space Missions
  • All Horses in Wikidata
• Newest WikiProjects:
  • Project Horse Racing : On topics relating to horse racing.
  • Project William & May Law School EMCO - to create and enhance entities for persons and corporate bodies related to the law school, for use in the library's metadata and archival work.
• WikiProject Highlights:
  • Project GovDirectory: How to use QuickStatements 3.0 to add data to GovDir
  • Ontology Course: Projects Offering 2 - Modelling Dictionary Usage Labels in Wikidata, Roots and Rhythms: Modelling music as cultural heritage.
• Showcase Items: Catch Me If You Can - a 2002 film by Steven Spielberg starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. A dramatic re-telling of the life and exploits of serial confidence man Frank Abegnale Jr., ironically the events of the film were later found to be mostly fabricated.

Development

• Mobile statement editing: We are continuing to improve the UX and fix issues uncovered in testing
• Making WikiProjects more visible: We are working on adding links to the sidebar menu of Items to make it easier for people to find the WikiProject(s) associated with an Item, find like-minded people and learn about data modelling conventions etc in that particular area
• Query Service: The service is being hit quite heavily and the Wikidata Platform team is working on blocking scrapers and misbehaving tools
• Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects: We are continuing our experiment to further reduce the amount of Wikidata changes that show up on Recent changes and Watchlist but don't actually change the article. Specifically we are looking at checking if there is any difference in the rendered article before and after the change coming from Wikidata

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Weekly Tasks

2026年第21期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 抽象維基百科團隊已選定五個潛在的試行維基，團隊將評估這些維基是否有意願採用抽象條目。這些維基站點包括印尼語、孟加拉語、阿拉伯語、馬拉雅拉姆語、達巴尼語維基百科。意見徵集期將持續至5月22日。若您的社群有興趣參與試行，請在元維基告知我們。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 5月18日，行動版網頁將啟動一項實驗，向未登入讀者提供「閱讀清單」功能。實驗將在土耳其語、西班牙語、波蘭語、烏爾都語、荷蘭語、義大利語、葡萄牙語、德語維基百科上線，為期一個月。此舉旨在協助讀者收藏及整理條目以便日後閱讀，同時培養未來可能促成貢獻維基百科的習慣。
• To support a bookmark button in the Reading List beta feature, the "Tools > Action" menu has been updated to display icons, including the watch star indicator that helps editors identify temporarily watched articles. The icons now also match those used on mobile, improving consistency across platforms. The change is currently limited to the actions menu and mainly affects editors with privileged user rights. [159]
• 「建議模式」已在約15個維基百科（包括中文）站點的行動版網頁上，針對新手編輯者展開A/B測試。此實驗將衡量「建議模式」對「新手編輯者在行動版網頁上產生具建設性（未被撤銷）條目編輯的編輯階段比例」所產生的影響。此外，實驗亦將評估此功能對編輯者留存率的影響，並監測撤銷率與封鎖率的變化。
• 上週有27件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前在維基百科Android版APP中，開啟「推薦閱讀清單」通知後，圖片有時可能無法載入，現已修正此問題。 [160]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 維基數據平台團隊（WDP）已發布其後端替換建議及相關技術架構，用於將維基數據查詢服務（WDQS）從Blazegraph遷移出去。歡迎提供意見回饋（2026年5月25日截止），特別是針對潛在缺口以及對進階用例的影響。我們也鼓勵維基數據社群成員和WDQS使用者在此頁面協助找出可能需要關注的高影響力工具和工作流程。意見回饋可於遷移討論頁或下一次諮詢時段提出。詳情請參閱WDP團隊電子報。
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

深入了解

• 在英語、法語、日語、中文及其他幾個維基百科站點上，曾針對第三方機器人偵測服務hCaptcha進行試行。試行結果顯示，hCaptcha不僅能獨立有效偵測並遏止某些惡意自動化活動，還能向用戶查核員和監管員提供線索以供進一步調查。由於試行結果令人滿意，hCaptcha將於未來幾週內在所有維基站點全面推行。有關實施細節及隱私保護措施的技術資訊，請參閱hCaptcha專案頁面。了解更多。
• 社群技術團隊發布最新消息，提及多項社群願望清單計畫的進展，包括將「閱讀清單」功能從APP擴展至網頁版、「誰寫的」功能與個人面板新增支援語言、3D渲染與Chart圖表功能的改進，以及即將進行的討論頁排序、音訊播放和編輯工作流程等相關工作。本次亦分享了當前的優先事項、願望清單狀態趨勢，以及針對未來重點領域與維基媒體基金會2026–2027年度計畫的社群回饋機會。閱讀全文了解更多。

2026年第22期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 在帳號建立實驗成功完成後，改良版的「未登入編輯警告訊息」將於6月第一週部署至所有維基媒體站點。此變更僅會影響在行動版網頁編輯的未登入使用者。更新後的體驗旨在更明確地鼓勵建立帳號，同時仍允許使用者透過臨時帳號貢獻編輯。實驗結果顯示，帳號建立數量顯著增加，看到新版訊息的使用者中，帳號建立率相對提升了27%。如預期所料，隨著更多人轉向建立帳號，臨時帳號的使用量相對減少了16%。實驗未顯示建設性編輯的佔比或其他監測中的貢獻者指標有任何顯著變化。 [161]

• 出於安全考量，位於特定使用者群組的使用者將必須啟用雙重認證（2FA）。處於這些使用者群組的使用者只要還擁有相關使用者群組身分便不能從自己的帳號中移除全部的2FA方式，同時有權者亦無法將沒有啟用2FA的使用者加入到這些群組中。只要帳號中至少還留有一個2FA方式，這些使用者依然可以自由新增和移除額外的2FA方式。在未來幾週內，未啟用2FA的使用者將會被移出這些群組。請特別注意，此規定同樣適用於行政員。關於新規定生效的時程詳見連結的工單。 [162][163]
• WMDE技術願望團隊將在指定的10個wiki專案上進行一項A/B測試。這項測試事關參考文獻預覽功能相關的可能改進。實驗會在5月底6月初之間的大約2週時間內進行；在參與實驗的wiki站點中，10%的桌面版使用者會受到實驗的影響。
• Reader Growth團隊先前執行的兩個實驗結果很成功，所以決定從5月25日起，將Image Browsing功能作為beta測試功能提供給所有維基百科語言版本的手機版。任何人若設定預設啟用所有beta功能則會立刻看到變化，其他人若在偏好設定中勾選該功能對應的複選框也能看到變化。這個新功能會在所有條目的頁面頂端展示一個可以左右捲動的條目全部圖片速覽，編者可以設定排除單張圖像出現在當前條目的圖片速覽中，或者完全排除當前條目出現圖片速覽。
• 上週有30件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前媒體檢視器3D擴充功能無法正確渲染三維STL檔案，現已修正此功能。 [164]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 以下兩個過時的CSS class tleft和tright現已被替換為floatleft和floatright。被替換掉的CSS class未能在所有MediaWiki所支援的平台上都擁有一致的行為，該問題在手機版網頁和手機版App中尤為突出。若您的專案有依賴於這兩個CSS class的代碼，請盡快檢視他們並準備遷移。順帶一提，floatleft和floatright在未來可能也會被棄用，但是現在沒有時間表。瞭解詳情。

Tech News: 2026-24

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

Weekly highlight

• Wikimedia Enterprise has increased the free usage limits for its API offerings. The monthly request limit for the On-demand API has increased from 5,000 to 50,000 requests, while the Snapshot API limit has increased from 15 to 30 requests per month. In addition, Structured Contents snapshots are now available for free accounts. These changes expand access to Wikimedia Enterprise data for developers, researchers, and organizations using Wikimedia content. [166]

Updates for editors

• The refreshed Explore Feed, now called the Home Feed, is rolling out to 50% of users of the Wikipedia Android app. The Home Feed helps readers discover relevant content through two new tabs: Community and For You. The Community tab provides a scrollable feed of curated content and updates from the broader Wikimedia community and movement, while the For You tab offers a full-screen, swipeable experience that shows content tailored to a user's interests. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve discovery and enhance the learning experience in the Wikipedia app.
• The Which came first? daily trivia game is now available in the beta version of the Wikipedia iOS app in English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. The game uses historical events from Wikipedia's "On This Day" content and challenges readers to guess which of two events happened first. The game was previously released on Android. Communities interested in making the game available in their languages can read the instructions and requirements.
• Sub-referencing, a new MediaWiki feature that allows editors to reuse references with different details, will begin rolling out to Wikimedia wikis following a successful pilot phase. Deployment will start on 8 June for most Group 1 wikis and French Wikipedia, with additional Wikipedia language editions receiving the feature over the coming months. Communities are encouraged to prepare by checking for untranslated Cite extension messages in their language and reviewing any use of Reference Tooltips, which may require updates to support the new functionality. Wikis using Reference Previews do not need to take any action. Communities may also wish to create the cite-tracking-category-ref-details tracking category as a hidden category using __HIDDENCAT__ (or a dedicated template), and connect it to the corresponding Wikidata item d:Q129764848. [167]
• The Page Previews experiment on mobile web has concluded. The team decided not to roll out the feature after the results showed no statistically significant impact on reader retention, as the primary success metric was retention improvement. Page Previews, which are already available on desktop and in the apps, display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and link to the full article when readers tap a blue link. The experiment tested this experience on mobile web across six Wikipedias.
• The user interface icon library will be updated later this week or next week. Most of the ~300 icons have been slightly refined and ~30 new icons have been added. These changes improve the icons to make them more consistent and comprehensible, and provide more visual balance when they are used in groups.
• The Universal Language Selector (ULS) interface in MediaWiki, which helps users select content in other languages, has been updated. The new version improves speed and accessibility, and users of Wikimedia projects can now pin languages for quicker language switching. The deployment to Wikimedia sites will happen gradually in the coming weeks. You can test it now as a beta feature by selecting beta features in your profile preferences and share your feedback on the project page.
• View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the Pageviews Analysis dashboard on pageviews.wmcloud.org stopped updating graph data in May 2026, affecting all users, has been fixed. [168]

Updates for technical contributors

• The function signature for mw.util.addPortletLink() has been simplified. Developers can now pass a configuration object instead of a list of positional parameters when creating portlet links. The previous function signature remains supported for backwards compatibility. For example, instead of: mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', '#', 'Stub', 'ca-stubtag', 'Add a stub tag to this page'); use mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', { href: '#', text: 'Stub', id: 'ca-stubtag', tooltip: 'Add a stub tag to this page' });. Script maintainers are encouraged to review existing uses of addPortletLink() and update them where appropriate. This change will be available on all wikis from 11 June. Thanks to community volunteer Gerges for contributing this improvement. [169]
• Community Wishlist discussion: Product & Technology introduced changes meant to increase the number and complexity of wishes fulfilled, including the disbanding of the Community Tech team. They are engaging in discussions about a proposed direction for the wishlist from community members. Includes ways to structure annual voting, better tracking of wishes, removing focus areas, and staffing updates.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

  • We extended the searchItems field so that developers can now get all Item data immediately from the search results (phab:T416885)
  • We are working on the ability to get only best ranked statements (phab:T428138)
• MCP: The Wikidata MCP has been extended. You can now also use an MCP for other Wikibase instances. (more details)
• Wikibase Cloud: We are looking into making it possible to log into Wikibase Cloud instances with your Wikidata account to make it easier for Wikimedians to contribute on Cloud instances.
• Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
  • We are planning the migration of the entity usage table to a new database cluster to handle increased usage of Wikidata's data across the Wikimedia projects.
  • We are continuing our work to decrease the number of irrelevant changes coming from Wikidata that show up in Wikipedia's recent changes and watchlist. Specifically we are evaluating a prototype that looks at the rendered article before and after the change and determines if anything actually changed in the article before adding an entry to recent changes and watchlist.
• Mobile editing of statements:
  • We are improving support for RTL languages.(phab:T360854, phab:T427655, phab:T427658, phab:T427661, phab:T428246)
  • We started fixing multiple UI layout and spacing issues, including mandatory fields, value fields, snak types, references, and add-statement button usability (phab:T428766, phab:T428761, phab:T428759, phab:T428450)
  • We are improving the server-side rendering (phab:T409827)

2026年第25期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• The Reader Growth team has launched an Image Browsing beta feature on the mobile web version of all Wikipedias. The feature shows an image carousel at the top of articles with 3 or more images. Editors can configure this feature with the following controls: to hide a specific image from a page, either use class=notpageimage excluding it from thumbnail previews, or class=noviewer excluding it from MediaViewer. The carousel can also be disabled from a page entirely, with the magic word __NOMEDIAVIEWERCAROUSEL__. To submit feedback or flag bugs, please visit the project page.
• Wikitables can now be sorted in descending order on the first click by adding data-sort-order="desc" to the header cell. Previously, by default, clicking a column header for the first time sorts it in ascending order. This addition to a Wikitable gives it more control and flexibility, while the default behavior for subsequent clicks remains unchanged. [170]

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• The Article guidance feature is currently being tested with some editors creating new articles on the Simple English, French, and Turkish Wikipedias. The experiment will soon begin on the Arabic and Bangla Wikipedias as well. This feature gives editors community-curated guidance to help them create articles that follow community standards. Experienced editors can continue creating or adapting outlines for specific article types that are commonly created by less experienced contributors. The outlines guide less experienced editors in creating high-quality articles. A quick guide to markups used in outlines can be found on this page. Example outlines that can be adapted and instructions for how to adapt them are on this section of the project page.
• 如果您的維基站點想要替換Special:Block頁面中針對臨時帳號的「不限期」按鈕（例如，您的維基站點想要在臨時帳號過期時解除封鎖），您可以建立MediaWiki:ipb-indefinite-expiry-temporary-account並設定所需的封鎖期限來達成此目的。設定方法請見此處說明。 [171]
• 上週有41件由社群提交的工單得到解決。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• By the end of June, a valid user-agent string will be required for automated dumps downloads from the dumps.wikimedia.org website. Automated requests that provide a generic or empty user-agent will be blocked. This extends enforcement of the long standing user-agent policy. Access to dumps through Wikimedia Cloud Services will not change.
• 全域API速率限制的所有階段均已推出，所有API均已實施限制，且各使用者群組的限額均依照文件記載的標準執行。目前在Toolforge/WMCS運行的機器人和擁有站內機器人權限的機器人不受此限制。所有機器人應繼續遵循文件中記載的最佳實踐，以避免受到速率限制。
• API Portal維基將從本週（6月15日至18日）起轉為唯讀模式。下週（6月22日至25日），所有API Portal維基的網址都將重新導向至MediaWiki.org的「Wikimedia APIs」頁面。參閱專案頁面了解詳情。
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

會議與活動

• 維基媒體基金會將於6月17日 18:00 UTC舉行一場以「程式碼審查」為主題的Discord通話會議。我們透過「開發者滿意度調查」得知，志願者在進行程式碼審查時面臨不少困難，因此我們希望藉此機會討論這些經驗，以期找出可行的解決方案。您可以在維基媒體社群Discord伺服器加入本次會議。
• 拉丁美洲維基媒體會議將舉辦一場區域性黑客松，邀請維基媒體技術社群中的開發者、系統管理員、資料科學家以及站內的高階權限者一同共襄盛舉。有興趣參與的技術貢獻者可申請獎助金，申請期間至6月21日午夜（玻利維亞時間，UTC-4）截止。
• 歡迎報名參加維基媒體國際會議團隊挑戰賽，一同參與這場特別活動。團隊挑戰賽將於維基媒體國際會議召開前的7月21日至22日，以線上及實體形式舉行。無論技術水準或是否報名參加維基媒體國際會議，皆歡迎參與。各團隊將共同完成10項為維基媒體社群提供支援的重要挑戰。詳情請參閱團隊挑戰賽頁面並於該處報名（或點此報名）。報名期間至6月20日 23:00 UTC截止。

2026年第26期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• Growth features are now available at Wikidata. This update enables access to Mentorship (if configured), Impact module, the Help Panel, and a simplified Newcomer Homepage (without Suggested Edits). Wikidata administrators are still configuring the features through Community Configuration.

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 新建了特殊頁面Special:RangeCalculator。使用者可直接利用該頁面查詢IP位址範圍，無需仰賴外部工具。此前，此工具僅供用戶查核員使用。 [172]
• 「子引用」是MediaWiki的新功能，可在重複使用參考資料時修改部分細節。此功能將於6月23日部署至大多數中小型維基百科語言版本。常見問題解答列出了您可在維基站點上採取的相關措施，以支援此次部署。請查閱部署計畫，了解後續的部署階段。 [173]
• 從下週起，當使用者被封鎖或解封，或者封鎖狀態發生變更時，系統將會發送通知給該使用者。 [174]
• 上週有32件由社群提交的工單得到解決。

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 從下週起，設定為「需要CAPTCHA驗證」的濫用過濾器，將開始影響擁有skipcaptcha權限的使用者，這包括大多數自動確認使用者。機器人則不受此限制。此變更僅影響觸發濫用過濾器的編輯操作。在一般情況下，skipcaptcha權限將繼續讓使用者在正常使用維基時免受CAPTCHA干擾。 [175]
• Lift Wing API的參考文件已從API Portal移至互動式的REST沙盒。
• API Portal維基現已關閉。如需查閱API文件，請前往MediaWiki.org的「Wikimedia APIs」頁面。6月22日起，所有API Portal維基網址（https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/）都將重新導向至該頁面。 [176]
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

會議與活動

• 歡迎於6月25日 14:30 UTC參加線上會議，與目前參與Google Summer of Code及Outreachy的維基媒體實習生見面。實習生將介紹他們的專案概況，並簡要展示迄今為止的工作成果。歡迎與會者分享想法，並介紹各自社群中的相關資源與人脈。

Tech News: 2026-27

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

Updates for editors

• As part of the Account Creation Experiments, the Growth team tested adding a user account icon in the mobile web header for logged-out users, providing direct access to "Create account" and "Log in" actions. The experiment increased account creation by about 20% without negatively affecting edit quality or constructive edit rates. The feature will now be rolled out to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on mobile web in the first week of July. [177]
• After a successful experiment, logged-in users who did not confirm their email address when their account was created see a new banner asking them to complete that process. This helps reduce the risk that users get locked out of their account, and makes account email addresses overall more reliable. This is part of the Account Security project. [178]
• An update to Search is refining how the -prefix: behaves when used to exclude results. Previously, using -prefix: with negation could unintentionally broaden search results by adding the namespaces included in the search scope, leading to confusing behavior for users expecting a straightforward exclusion filter. With the update, -prefix: will now strictly exclude matching page titles as intended and may display a warning if the relevant namespace has not been explicitly selected. The behavior of prefix: without negation however remains unchanged. [179]
• View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where reviewers using the Page Curation toolbar were not automatically subscribed to talk page discussions they started has now been fixed. Reviewers will now receive notifications when someone replies to those discussions. [180]

Updates for technical contributors

• Starting June 29th, automated downloads from the dumps.wikimedia.org website will be subject to the user-agent policy. Automated requests that provide a generic or empty user-agent will be blocked. Access to dumps through Wikimedia Cloud Services remains unaffected. This is a follow up to the announcement made in the 2026/25 issue of Tech News.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Did you know?

• Query examples: Roles and contributions of ? in Fictional Universes and Media franchises (source)

Development

• Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
  • We are continuing to evaluate the prototype for reducing the number of unnecessary edits from Wikidata that show up in watchlist and recent changes of Wikipedia and co. The approach is to look at the diff of the rendered article before and after the change from Wikidata is made. If there is no difference then the change is probably not relevant for that article. We are collecting a sample to further understand how it performs.
  • To continue to address Wikidata's scaling issues, we are planning the migration of entity usage tables to the X1 cluster.
• Mobile editing of statements:
  • We implemented more feedback from testing of the new mobile front-end. Specifically we worked on making it clearer when a statements already exist that the editor is trying to add to the Item.
  • Additionally, we made minor improvements to the look and feel of the mobile front-end.
• REST API:
  • REST search routes now take apihighlimits right into account (phab:T428032)
  • We are starting to work on Lexeme support (phab:T429572, phab:T429332)
• GraphQL:
  • We added support for requesting “best statements” for a given Property (phab:T428138)
  • We are working on adding support for negation in Property value pair filters (phab:T429580)

2026年第29期技術新聞

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譯版本。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 「調整語氣」（Revise Tone）功能可幫助新手編者辨識維基百科條目中可能包含非百科式表述的段落，並鼓勵他們考慮調整語氣。此功能已在法語、阿拉伯語、英語、葡萄牙語維基百科上進行A/B測試；結果顯示，在新手任務中，相較於預設的「修訂」（Copyedit）任務，「調整語氣」任務的完成率提高了38.7%，且編輯品質並未下降。測試於7月9日結束，該功能現已開放給上述維基站點的所有使用者使用，並可透過社群配置功能來配置。未來計劃將「調整語氣」功能推廣至更多維基站點。
• 7月16日（四），可自訂活躍標準來自動移除非活躍導師的社群配置項，將在部分維基站點啟用，以確保導師名單保持最新。導師是維基百科的資深貢獻者，透過Growth功能自願在維基上協助新使用者。管理員現可透過Special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship進行配置；相關配置將自週四起生效。
• 上週有38件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，維基百科Android應用程式的部分使用者在登入後隨即被登出，導致他們無法保持登入狀態並編輯頁面，此問題現已修正。 [182]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 先前，透過使用者腳本或小工具編輯頁面時，會導致使用者為該頁面設定的監視清單標籤被重置，此問題現已修正。 [183]
• 用Safari瀏覽啟用Parsoid的維基站點時出現链接顏色錯誤（參見phab:T425211）。作為替代措施，在這些站點，維基链接的href屬性值將從協定相對URL改為絕對URL（即//...改為https://...）。REST API的輸出將保持不變，繼續使用協定相對URL。如果有小工具、使用者腳本、機器人、CSS依賴維基連結href屬性中的協定相對URL，可能需要更新。 [184]
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

深入了解

• The Wikimedia Foundation’s Experiment Platform Team has published a blog post reflecting on its first year of structured experimentation. It highlights successful experiments such as Paste Check, Reference Check, and Tone Check, which improved editing outcomes and have been rolled out to more users, as well as experiments that did not lead to product changes.

Tech News: 2026-30

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

Updates for editors

• The Reader Experience team has incorporated community feedback around the placement of watchstar and watchlist buttons for the Reading Lists beta feature, which would allow for saving articles for later reading – a wishlist item to bring the functionality to web. Editors are invited to enable the beta feature to test it out and share their thoughts.
• Suggestion Mode offers edit suggestions within the VisualEditor for improving Wikipedia articles. All suggestions are community-configurable. The TextMatch feature is a way for volunteers to create custom local suggestions. The feature searches in articles for strings of text, and now includes support for regular expressions. This gives volunteers greater precision and flexibility over the kinds of local suggestions they can create. Note: Suggestions can be targeted based on the edit count of the person editing as well as other aspects of the page. You can find examples from other communities for inspiration, including TextMatches that detect: typos, grammar-errors, potential advertisements, clichés, incorrect dash or hyphen usage, non-specific time keywords, outdated names, and more. Any feedback is appreciated.
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the SVG Translate tool could use an outdated version of a file, causing existing translations to be overwritten when new ones were uploaded, has now been fixed. Overall, in the last quarter from April – June 2026 about 337 community tasks were resolved by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Updates for technical contributors

• On Parsoid-enabled wikis, Parsoid now renders a maximum of 1,250 images per page. A new tracking category, "media-limit-reached", will be soon made available to identify pages where this limit is reached, making it easier to find content whose media output may have been restricted during rendering. See phab:T430854 for more information and to provide feedback.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

2026年第31期技術新聞

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譯版本。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 内容翻译现在支持深色模式，满足了社区愿望清单的一项请求。这使得该工具与Vector 2022和Minerva皮肤中提供的辅助功能保持一致，有助于减少用户翻译内容时的视觉疲劳。 [185]
• DiscussionTools的源代码模式和2017年维基文本编辑器现在将提供链接（[[）、模板（{{）、HTML和解析器标签（<）以及魔术字（__）的自动完成功能，从而在编辑时更快、更容易地插入链接、模板和其他维基标记。 [186]
• 读者增长团队已结束移动版页面预览的实验，不会正式推出该功能。页面预览是指读者点击蓝色链接时弹出的底部窗口，其中包含缩略图、文章开头段落以及打开条目的选项。实验结果显示，用户留存率持平，且各项指标均为负值，表明移动版网页读者更倾向于直接访问链接条目，而不是使用页面预览。
• 阅读体验团队的阅读列表功能已取得令人鼓舞的初步成果，93%的参与用户表示该功能实用。阅读列表功能可帮助活跃读者保存条目以供日后阅读，并支持他们在维基媒体项目中的学习目标。团队计划在向更多用户推广该功能之前对其进行进一步改进。
• 探索信息流刷新功能已在维基百科应用程序的新用户和普通用户中进行了测试。刷新后的信息流有助于用户发现新的相关内容。在信息流互动量提升10.5%后，维基媒体应用团队决定将首页信息流的重新设计推广到iOS平台，并借鉴Android版本的经验。
• 上週有23件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前法语维基百科条目指南功能中主题名称的大小写显示错误的问题已经修复。现在主题名称将遵循该语言的正确大小写规则。 [187]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 为了提高注册完成率，我们开展了多次账户创建实验，并推出了创建账户页面中用户名字段的新版本。新版本包含一个用户名策略摘要弹出窗口，旨在为账户创建过程提供更清晰的指导。作为此次变更的一部分，部分社群区配置的createacct-helpusername和createacct-username-help消息将不再使用。如果社群希望自定义新弹出窗口中显示的指导信息，可以编辑以下消息：createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet1、createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet2和createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet3。 [188]
• 本周晚些时候，CodeMirror语法高亮器将提供主题功能。用户可以在CodeMirror完整首选项对话框的下拉菜单中选择主题。对于维基文本，可用主题包括默认主题、色盲友好主题（之前在Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing首选项中称为色盲主题）和无高亮主题。对于代码语言（例如CSS/JavaScript/JSON/Vue/Lua），目前有多种主题可供选择。这些主题最终也将适用于维基文本。 [189]
• 从现在起，维基可以限制“用户”命名空间中的编辑权限，仅允许页面所有者和特定用户组进行编辑。阅读配置文档了解更多信息。
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

Tech News: 2026-32

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

Updates for editors

• The Reader Experience team has developed a patch demo that wraps the page toolbar onto two lines when there is not enough horizontal space for all the buttons. This aims to reduce crowding in the Vector 2022 toolbar, which can occur on some language Wikipedias at certain screen widths. [190]
• The Reader Experience team is planning to launch Reading Lists, a Community Wishlist item, which is currently available to try in beta, as a full feature in September. Before then, volunteer translator help is needed for string translations into a number of languages. The feature supports reading and learning goals on Wikipedia.
• Next week, the table of contents on Wikimedia Commons file pages will be improved by consolidating the file page table of contents with the page table of contents. This will make it easier to understand a file page’s structure, navigate to specific sections, and share links to individual sections. [191]
• View all 24 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where some TIFF images failed to load after clicking their thumbnail, causing a broken image to be displayed instead of the full-size image, has now been fixed. [192]

Updates for technical contributors

• The variable and function selector in AbuseFilter has been updated to support search and autocomplete. It will allow filter maintainers to find the desired variable or function more quickly. [193]
• The MJPEG and VP8 formats are removed from the video player. The MP4 format (MPEG-4 Part 2) is added instead, which provides higher quality videos to older iPhone devices. It may take a few weeks to retroactively update all existing videos. The default format for modern devices stays the same (VP9/WebM). [194]
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

2026年第33期技術新聞

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譯版本。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 对于有兴趣利用自有数据制作图表的用户，维基共享资源现已推出全新的图表向导。该向导让图表扩展对新手更加友好，允许编辑者无需编写JSON代码即可创建柱状图、饼图等各类图表；用户若愿意，仍可随时切换至JSON编辑模式。欢迎在愿望讨论页上针对这一新工具提供反馈。
• 上週有19件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，维基百科iOS版应用的每日一图小组件此前每天都显示同一张图片而无法每日更新，这一问题现已得到修复。 [195]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 数学公式SVG图像将很快改为在浏览器端而非服务器端生成。MathML将继续在服务器端生成，并在无需JavaScript的情况下由浏览器渲染。维基教科书将于8月12日、维基文库将于8月19日、维基百科将于8月20日至27日期间迎来这一变更。您可以通过在偏好设置中选择“客户端MathJax渲染（用于MathML支持有限的浏览器）”来试用此功能。此项变更属于弃用RESTBase和弃用Mathoid计划的一部分。 [196]
• 分类页面即将支持按条目加入分类的时间进行排序。这将使用户更容易找到近期归入分类或归入分类已久的页面，同时也将优化维护类分类（如待删除积压列表及其他基于时间的审核任务）的工作流程。您可以在分类视图中使用cldsort=timestamp URL参数来对条目进行排序。 [197]
• 维基媒体站点上的小工具和用户脚本现可在JavaScript代码中使用ES2018特性和ES2019特性。此前，该平台仅支持最高ES2017标准。MediaWiki会验证源代码，以防止语法错误影响功能，并确保脚本在所有受支持的浏览器中均能正常运行。 [198]

Tech News: 2026-34

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

Weekly highlight

• The Worklist feature for the Event Registration tool is now live on all Wikimedia wikis. With Worklist, event organizers can add the articles their event will focus on directly to the event page. The Worklist also powers Event Pathways which notifies other editors of the upcoming or ongoing event when they edit an article featured in the event's Worklist. This is the minimum viable version (MVP), and feedback is welcome. Organizers are encouraged to try the feature. A hands-on Worklist Setup Workshop will take place on 18 August at 16:00 UTC and 19 August at 11:00 UTC.

Updates for editors

• Special:ShortPages displays short pages by their size, but in many cases it gets filled with disambiguations and soft redirects, making it harder to find the short articles themselves. Starting this weekend, you will be able to choose not to include an article in the special page by adding the magic word __EXPECTSHORTPAGE__. [199]
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Bole (w:bol:) [200]
• Starting the week of August 17, the page toolbar will wrap onto two lines when there is not enough horizontal space for all the buttons. This is a fully merged patch from the Reader Experience team which aims to reduce crowding in the Vector 2022 toolbar, that may occur on some language Wikipedias at certain screen widths.
• View all 16 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, uploading large files to Wikimedia Commons has become more stable and less prone to failure following some fixes related to the “Could not acquire lock” upload error. [201]

Updates for technical contributors

• Debian Bullseye will reach the end of its Long Term Support on 31 August 2026. Some Cloud VPS projects still have instances running Debian Bullseye. Maintainers of those projects are encouraged to migrate to Debian Bookworm or Debian Trixie. A migration guide is available to help with the process, and users may also want to consider whether their workload is better suited to Toolforge. If you need help or cannot complete the migration by 31 August, please contact the Cloud VPS admins as soon as possible. Read more.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Tech News: 2026-35

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

Updates for editors

• The Special:CreateAccount page has been simplified as part of ongoing work to modernize the account creation experience. The panel showing project statistics no longer appears next to the form on desktop and mobile web. Multiple account creation experiments show that a simpler form helps newcomers complete registration. [202]
• In order to improve page performance, images now load when they are viewed. This means images lower down an article will not load if a reader never scrolls to that part of the page, which may affect some image-related metrics. [203]

• View all 42 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where image thumbnails in Abstract Wikipedia could fail to display after the corresponding file was moved on Wikimedia Commons, has now been fixed. Thumbnails will now update correctly when files are moved. [204]

Updates for technical contributors

• User Info card is a feature that helps patrollers see information about user accounts. So far, it has been available only in places such as page history, logs and recent changes. Now, it's possible to place it in the page content as well, using the {{#uic:}} parser function. It can be particularly useful in templates like {{Userlinks}} (or their specialized variants), as it will make it easier to see the context about a user on various noticeboard pages. The card will be displayed only to users who have it enabled in their preferences. [205]
• Due to user security and privacy risks, we have disabled access to Special:MyPage URLs when specifically using action=raw. If you are impacted by this, consider whether you can use an alternative approach. Special:MyPage URLs can still be accessed and used without action=raw. Specified user page URLs (e.g. User:Myusername) can still be used with action=raw. [206]
• Due to an update, the thumbnailing software has been improved. This includes upgrading librsvg to 2.60 and ImageMagick to 7, as well as resolving a number of long-standing thumbnailing bugs like rendering errors. [207]

• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

2026年第36期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 「社群願望清單」的新格式現正徵求意見。您可以在元維基上閱讀相關提案。此新流程旨在改善社群願望的篩選、投票及優先順序排序，以期在各項目之間保持透明及平衡。本次徵求意見持續兩週。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 維基百科Android應用程式的最新版本更新了「已儲存」功能，使得功能體驗更貼近iOS和網頁版。此次更新重新設計了「已儲存」分頁，新增「所有條目」檢視，移除了預設的「已儲存」閱讀清單，將閱讀清單更名為「收藏集」，並對條目儲存體驗進行了現代化改版。 [208]
• 經過數月測試，閱讀清單功能已於8月25日在孟加拉語、中文、捷克語及越南語維基百科上對所有已登入的使用者啟用。閱讀清單功能將於9月1日在阿拉伯語、法語及印度尼西亞語維基百科上對所有已登入的使用者啟用，並於9月14日在英語維基百科上啟用，最後於9月28日在所有其他維基百科站點上啟用。
• 本月尾，部分在孟加拉語、捷克語、波斯語、英語及波蘭語維基百科上使用行動版Minerva樣式的未登入讀者將參加A/B測試，這些讀者會看到更新後的導覽列。此測試將比較現有導覽列與新版導覽列，新版導覽列旨在讓讀者能更快速地找到資訊。此次測試旨在評估這些新設計是否可以鼓勵讀者再次訪問。此實驗不會影響已登入讀者或編者。
• 現時，編者維護重新導向頁面中所使用之重新導向、模板及分類時可使用更完善的重新導向搜尋與新增方式。之前，重新導向頁面無法被搜尋。現在新增的兩個搜尋關鍵字onlyredirects:和withredirects:，可直接搜尋重新導向，並可與現有的關鍵字（如incategory:、intitle:和insource:）搭配使用。 [209]
• 由於外部服務問題，產生引用的ISBN查詢工具近期無法正常運作。開發人員正在解決此問題。 [210]
• 上週有30件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前使用deepcat搜尋類別中的頁面時可能返回空數據或無關數據，現此問題已修復。 [211]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 縮略圖的網段將從upload.wikimedia.org變為thumb.wikimedia.org。舊網段在可預見的未來內仍保持有效，但MediaWiki會宣傳新網段。其他類型媒體（如原始文件、視頻和轉碼檔案）的網段將保持upload.wikimedia.org。 [212]
• 維基媒體的Math API現已棄用。所有相關API端點將在2026年9月月尾徹底停用。呼叫這些端點的開發者應改用其他數學渲染API，如原生MathML或MathJax。使用Math擴充功能進行公式渲染的第三方MediaWiki站點必須升級至v1.43或更高版本以避免服務中斷。

• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

深入了解

• 邀您閱讀一篇題為Custom edit suggestions for every wiki: How communities are shaping Suggestion Mode with TextMatch的Diff文章，以進一步了解TextMatch。

2026年第37期技術新聞

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譯版本。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 面向英语维基百科用户的添加链接功能已完成升级，改进了对大小写不同链接的识别能力。这将有助于减少因条目标题大小写差异（包括涉及文化产品的条目）而产生的歧义建议。目前已规划第二阶段的改进工作，这也将为该功能在其他语言版本中的发布做好准备。 [213] [214]
• 继一项实验之后，简单英语维基百科和土耳其语维基百科将于 2026年9月10日起，默认向初级编辑启用条目撰写指引功能。编辑次数在0到99次之间的初级编辑，在点击红链或使用土耳其语维基百科上的“Madde oluşturto”选项新建条目时，将自动看到该功能。此项变更旨在帮助初级编辑撰写出符合各自维基百科标准的高质量条目。后续将根据实验结果和社群反馈继续进行更多改进。
• 允许用户比较多个页面浏览量的Pageviews Analysis工具今年迎来了10周年，并新增了多项功能。这些新功能包括：提供维基百科读者如何浏览内容相关洞察的WikiNav；Siteviews中的编辑统计数据；查找属于特定维基专题条目的功能；以及对深色模式的支持。 [215]
• 孟加拉语、捷克语、英语、波斯语和波兰语维基百科正在针对使用移动版网页且未登录的读者，测试一种视觉上经过简化的 Minerva导航栏。该实验旨在评估简化导航栏是否能提高读者留存率。测试将于8月31日至9月28日进行，用户无需进行任何操作。
• WMDE技术愿望项目组正在改进可视化编辑器中自动生成的参考文献名称。从本周起，编辑者只会注意到细微的变化：在生成自动参考文献名称时，编号将从:1开始，而不是:0。欲了解更多信息，请参阅项目页面。 [216]
• 9月23日，所有维基站点将进入只读模式几分钟。此操作计划于UTC时间14:00进行。更多信息将在技术新闻中发布，并于未来几周内发布在各个维基站点上。 [217]
• 上週有25件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，Parsoid错误处理嵌套nowiki标签（导致内容丢失并显示不期望出现的文本）的问题现已修复。 [218]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 界面管理员可以在MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition配置小工具。定义格式已更新，不再需要ResourceLoader选项，因为小工具始终通过ResourceLoader加载。此举移除了不再必要的选项，从而简化了小工具的配置，使管理员定义小工具变得更加容易。 [219]

Tech News: 2026-38

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

Weekly highlight

• The Future Audiences team has started a discussion on English Wikipedia about a proposed new experiment to show a temporary notice about the new Google Preferred Sources feature to Wikipedia readers coming from Google. The experiment is to test whether this notice makes visitors come back to Wikipedia more often. Preferred Sources feature lets users choose websites they trust so Google can highlight content from those sources more prominently in Search and AI experiences. We are interested in testing this on other languages that Google supports and would welcome assistance with starting conversations on other wikis. If interested, please reach out to Future Audiences on the talk page.

Updates for editors

• The chat platform Discord is releasing a new self-service framework that websites can use to specify how their links should look when shared on Discord. The Future Audiences team is planning to start using this new framework to improve how Wikipedia links look when shared on Discord, giving better attribution and credit to contributors. The link appearance and behavior won't change in the first phase of this project as we want to first collect some baseline data to assess the impact of future changes. However, if community members who are active on Discord spot any issues, they can reach out on Phabricator or Metawiki.
• The Reader Growth team will be running an experiment to test whether compacting article lead sections on mobiles with the addition of a "read more" button improves reader retention. The test will begin on September 17 on Arabic, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and Chinese Wikipedias and will run for four weeks.
• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 23. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming week. [220]
• View all 28 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where Wikistats for Wikipedias was returning an HTTP 500 error and could not be reached, has now been fixed. [221]

Updates for technical contributors

• Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikimedia Commons links tables need to update their code to connect to the new x4 database cluster. The links tables have been moved from the s4 cluster to x4, and will no longer receive updates on s4. The page and redirect tables remain available on both clusters. A wiki replica for the x4 cluster will be set up afterwards. The change is being made because the s4 cluster has grown too large to operate efficiently. You can read more.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

2026年第39期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 2026年9月23日14:00 UTC，所有维基站点将进入只读模式，持续数分钟。此举是为了进行数据中心服务器切换备份测试，该测试每年进行两次。在切换过程中，所有维基媒体网站的流量将从主数据中心转移至备用数据中心，以测试可用性并确保即使在紧急情况下服务也不会中断。 [222]

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 成长团队测试了一项新的编辑后提示，以鼓励临时账户持有者注册永久账户。这项新提示取代了原有的多个对话框及同步显示的欢迎通知，改为仅展示一条强调创建账户益处的信息。该实验使永久账户的创建率从1.94%提升至3.66%，相对增幅达87%。该变更现将推广至所有维基站点。 [223]
• 对于使用“建议模式”测试版功能的维基百科编辑者，现有一项新的可选用户偏好设置，用于显示“实验性”编辑检查与建议。这些类型列于Special:EditChecks，旨在供开发者进行早期测试并收集资深用户的反馈。管理员可照常更改各项建议的配置详情。管理员还可以利用此功能，协助测试社群针对本地创建的检查与建议提出的构想。本周晚些时候，这些实验性类型将采用更具辨识度的视觉样式。欢迎提供反馈。
• CEE Technical Village Pump已正式设立，为中东欧地区的维基媒体社群提供一个进行技术讨论与协作的平台。
• 面向新兴及小型语言维基百科社群的一项新工具——入门套件，现已推出。该工具整合了引导式任务、各类工具及资源，以帮助社群起步、追踪进展，并与更广泛的维基媒体社群开展协作。入门套件托管于Wikimedia Toolforge平台，专为条目数少于50,000篇的维基百科项目设计。欢迎阅读这篇Diff博客文章，了解入门套件的运作方式及社群的实际应用情况。
• 读者成长团队即将重新开展图像轮播实验。此次重测将评估基于社群反馈改进后的三个新设计版本。团队将评估实验结果，并与社群共同决定是否继续推进该功能。实验将于9月28日所在的一周启动，覆盖阿拉伯语、孟加拉语、中文、捷克语、英语、波斯语、法语、德语、印尼语、日语、波兰语、葡萄牙语、西班牙语、瑞典语和越南语维基百科。
• 继在阿拉伯语、孟加拉语、中文、捷克语、英语、法语、印尼语和越南语维基百科成功推出后，由读者体验团队开发的阅读列表功能将于9月28日起向所有维基百科站点的已登录用户开放。
• 上週有28件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，此前存在一个问题：即使导师状态未发生任何变化，导师状态脚本也会反复更新其状态，从而产生不必要的最近更改项；该问题现已修复。 [224]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 用于获取维基上已配置的活跃或历史滥用过滤器详细信息的abusefilters列表查询API现已更新，支持formatversion=2配置参数，这将导致API响应发生破坏性变更。所有维护用户脚本或其他代码的用户，均需检查自己是否使用了abusefilters列表查询API，并针对任何破坏性变更采取相应措施。 [225]

2026年第40期技術新聞

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譯版本。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 对于使用桌面版和移动版网页默认皮肤（分别为Vector 2022和Minerva）的用户，当他们在搜索框输入内容并看到搜索建议时，系统现在会提示这些建议是否源自页面重定向。此前，如果搜索建议列表首位的条目与用户的实际输入不完全匹配，用户可能会感到困惑。新增的重定向提示明确了这些建议并非随机生成，而是与搜索内容相关的；这些建议页面可能是指向用户实际想要查找的最相关目标条目的重定向页面。 [226]
• 使用移动版网页浏览维基百科的未登录用户，将看到一个用于将条目保存至阅读列表的书签按钮，以取代现有的监视星标按钮。点击该书签按钮时，系统会提示用户登录或创建账户，以便保存条目供日后阅读。此前的一项实验发现，与监视星标按钮相比，书签图标促使未登录用户创建账户的可能性高出四倍。此次调整旨在鼓励更多读者注册账户，并使用有助于保存及回访内容的相关功能。 [227]
• 一项简化用户创建账户后即时体验的实验将于9月29日在西班牙语、阿拉伯语、英语和法语维基百科上启动。该测试将探讨移除现有欢迎问卷中的操作阻碍，是否有助于新用户更轻松地了解后续步骤。实验将持续至10月底。 [228]

• 产品与技术咨询委员会现向社群征集议题，以便与维基媒体基金会进行考量与探讨。欢迎编辑和技术贡献者在委员会的讨论页上添加议题。
• 本周晚些时候，社群将能够配置编辑检查与建议，使其在更多命名空间中显示（例如Draft:命名空间）。欢迎提供反馈。
• 全域监视列表中的一个程序错误导致在维基共享资源上有未读更改的用户无法加载该页面。开发人员正在修复此问题。在此期间，受影响的用户可以按照相关帮助章节中描述的变通方法进行操作。
• 现已新增{{CATEGORYSORT:TIMESTAMP}}和{{CATEGORYSORT:RTIMESTAMP}}这两个魔术字，可将分类的默认排序方式更改为基于归类时间戳进行排序。 [229]
• 上週有20件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，此前无法访问维基百科的Wikistats问题现已修复。 [230]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 原定于9月23日进行的数据中心切换已推迟。在昼夜平分点演练期间发现的容量问题，导致无法将所有服务切换至另一数据中心。目前该流程已暂停，我们将优先排查并解决该问题，以确保能继续为用户提供可靠的服务。我们将另行安排新的演练。在此期间，所有流量和编辑操作均照常进行。
• 9月23日，一次电力中断短暂影响了所有维基站点，导致阅读和编辑模式出现间歇性问题。Gerrit也受到了影响。此事与数据中心切换工作的推迟无关。 [231]
• Produnto现已部署至mediawiki.org及部分印度语言维基站点。我们希望能听到您对这款实验性产品的反馈。Produnto允许用户使用托管于维基媒体GitLab上的Lua模块，从而简化了各维基站点间Lua代码的共享流程。用户无需再将单个Lua模块从一个维基站点逐一复制到另一个站点，而是可以轻松地在所有维基站点间共享代码包。
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

會議與活動

• 一场跨维基代码协作研讨会将于10月2日12:30 UTC在线举行，旨在汇集南亚地区的技术贡献者，让他们了解Produnto并着手在印地语、旁遮普语、奥里亚语、泰卢固语和马拉雅拉姆语维基百科上试用该工具。Produnto是一款用于将托管于GitLab上的Lua模块部署到维基媒体各维基站点的软件包管理器，近期已在部分试点维基站点上完成部署。

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

• Blogs:
  • From University Research to Free Knowledge: Academics Discover Wikimedia by User:Osps7
  • WM Enterprise: Wikidata Bulk snapshots
  • Wiki OTO 2026: Wiki Loves Women and Africa Wiki Women join forces!

  • AI BRIDGES Open Forum meeting - September 2026

Tool of the week

• HumansMap Gallery - The site offers various type of visualizations, and offers the possibility to navigate through connections between people and organizations, based on your interests, powered by Wikidata.
• 📚 Wikidata Book Itemizer It is a simple tool to catalog books on Wikidata! Creating work and edition items manually on Wikidata with proper metadata and multilingual labels can often be tedious and error-prone. Wikidata Book Itemizer automates this entire process with a simple form!

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• Wikimedia Deutschland is researching how to improve interoperability between Wikidata, Wikibase Cloud, and Wikibase Suite. If you've worked with data imports or staging, or even if you haven't, your input would be valuable. The survey takes 5 to 10 minutes and is anonymous. More information on the background of the questions: Wikidata:Requests for comment/Mass-editing policy#Context

Newest properties and property proposals to review

• Newest properties:
  • General datatypes: none
  • External identifiers: Union Catalogue Database of Japanese Texts ID, ‎Siwar entry ID, Kunaicho Shoryobu Shuzo Kanseki Shuran ID, ‎Emulation General Wiki article ID, Digital Momijiyama Bunko ID, Raras disease ID
• New property proposals to review:
  • General datatypes:
    • Writers at Risk database ID (Identifier in the PEN America Writers at Risk database, cataloging writers threatened, imprisoned, and jailed worldwide)
  • External identifiers: Ohio Entity Number, NZPCN legacy ID, Žmonės.lt topic ID, Jersey HER Reference, Identifiant d'un(e) auteurice dans le Maitron, Google Search profile handle, Leipziger Biographie ID, LEO-BW person ID, Biopsa ID, Isle of Man Registered Building No., Waymark code, Identifiant dans OrthodoxWiki en français, WE League player ID, WE League manager ID, Delfi.lt topic ID, Lrytas.lt topic ID, Baidu Baike article

You can comment on all open property proposals!

Did you know?

• Query examples: Latin American Cinema / Films with an English or Portuguese Wikipedia page, but not Spanish
• Schema examples: (E422) 'Golden age of illustration' book from the Maastricht University Library collection.
• Newest WikiProjects:
  • Project Schlaraffia - for enriching items about the German-language fraternity Schlaraffia (Q1305789) and its international and local associations.
  • Project Tamil Nadu dedicated to creating and improving Wikidata content related to Tamil Nadu (Q1445) and Tamil (Q5885).
• WikiProject Highlights: Project PCC EMCO Wikidata CoP added a subpage for listing Properties normally associated with Corporate bodies.

Development

• Mobile statement editing: We are continuing with UX fixes. This is primarily visual polish and consistency as well as fixing bugs related to RTL display.
• Wikibase REST API:
  • We are finishing the support for creating Lexemes and the statements on them.
  • We are continuing working on support for adding Forms to a Lexeme.
• Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
  • We are going to stop sending language link changes to the first few wikis. An initial deployment to group1 wikis is now planned for Monday, 05.10.2026. (Click group1 on this Toolforge page to see which Wikis are included.) This will help reduce noise in Watchlists and Recent changes and help reduce the size of the database table holding recent changes on these wikis.
  • Connecting a newly created Wiki to Wikidata is a manual task, we are automating that and optimising the SitesTable at the same time, making a 'single source of truth' that all wikis point to, rather than a table per Wiki that are all clones of each other.
  • We are experimenting with raising the entity usage limit on wikis. If this is feasible, we can reduce the amount of bundled changes. This would reduce the quantity of Wikidata-triggered Recent Changes rows being created.

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Weekly Tasks

• Add labels, in your own language(s), for the new properties listed above.
• Contribute to the showcase Item and Lexeme above.
• Govdirectory weekly focus country: The Gambia
• Summarize your WikiProject's ongoing activities in one or two sentences.
• Help translate or proofread the interface and documentation pages, in your own language!
• Help merge identical items across Wikimedia projects.
• Help write the next summary!

2026年第41期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 今年的社群愿望清单流程已公布。这是在听取社群反馈后制定的。计划组建一个工作组，成员包括熟悉愿望征集流程及MediaWiki代码库的社群成员以及维基媒体基金会的工作人员。计划于10月下旬或11月上旬开放新愿望的提交，并预计在11月下旬完成初步筛选工作。欲了解更多信息，请参阅已公布的流程详情。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 使用可视化编辑器的编者在将文本粘贴到维基百科时，如果该文本很可能是最初从五种外部生成式AI聊天机器人之一复制而来的，将会看到一条警告。此功能被称为LLM粘贴检查，属于一种可由社群配置的编辑检查机制。该检查通过识别复制内容中的HTML标记来运作，并不使用内容水印检测技术。相关编辑还会被标记，以便巡查员进行更仔细的审查。该功能既能帮助新手添加符合维基百科方针的内容，也能让经验丰富的编辑更容易识别出存在问题的编辑。对于制定了关于LLM使用之本地方针的社群，可以调整提示文案及所链接的方针页面。开发团队致歉，因为该功能在推出时未预留时间进行多语言翻译。
• 编者现在可以轻松地直接从iOS和Android应用访问网页版可视化编辑器。打开编辑器时，用户可以选择可视化编辑或源代码编辑。若选择可视化编辑，系统会将用户引导至手机浏览器中的移动网页界面；完成编辑后，页面顶部的横幅会提供返回应用的选项。这使得读者能够在随手阅读的同时，快速进行编辑贡献。
• 使用维基百科Android和iOS应用的用户，在连续使用两周后，将会看到一次创建账户的提示。该提示意在说明拥有账户的益处，并帮助更多普通读者转变为会定期回访应用的登录用户。 [232]
• 在group1 wiki（包括维基语录、维基教科书、维基学院、维基导游和维基文库）上，当页面对应的维基数据项中有关其他语言版本的链接被添加、移除或修改时，编者将不再在最近更改和监视列表中收到相关通知。此项变更将于协调世界时（UTC）10月5日07:00开始进行为期两周的试运行，以减少高频次但低价值的通知，从而更易于识别重要变更。依赖此类通知的编者可查阅项目页面了解详情，或在讨论页发表意见或提出疑虑。 [233]
• 上週有36件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，此前已退出导师计划的导师仍会被分配学员并收到提问，这一问题现已修复。现在，当导师退出计划时，其学员会被重新分配。 [234]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 巴西维基媒体分会发布了其开发最佳实践框架（ABPD）。这是一份面向开发技术工具与项目的员工、承包商及志愿者的指南，涵盖了项目生命周期、安全性、无障碍性、个人数据保护及负责任的人工智能使用等内容，并阐述了如何将维基媒体运动的通用准则调整以适应本地实际情况。他们鼓励其他分会复用并根据自身需求调整该框架。欲了解更多信息，请阅读Diff上的相关文章。
• Wikimedia API即将启用一个新的标准基础URL。该新标准路径遵循{projectName}/api/模式，将作为现有REST API（例如：{projectName}/w/rest.php/）的替代访问路径。所有现有API均支持通过这两种路径进行调用，但新创建的API模块将优先采用这一新结构。对于大多数用户而言，此次变更不会导致现有功能中断；针对现有端点的所有请求，原有的访问路径将继续有效。不过，部分端点可能会在响应正文中返回符合新模式的URL。相关变更将首先在测试维基上部署，预计到10月底将覆盖所有维基站点。 [235]

2026年第42期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 自10月13日起，各wiki站点可以更改可视化编辑器中自动生成的参考文献名称的默认格式（当前为<ref name=":1" />）。站点将能够使用基于内容且易于理解的参考文献名称，这对使用源代码编辑器的贡献者更有帮助（例如<ref name="Miller2026-1" />）。可视化编辑器的参考文献名称格式可以通过MediaWiki系统信息、JSON、模板和模块进行定义（更多信息）。管理员可以通过社群配置启用这些更改。这是由WMDE技术愿望项目实现的一项社群愿望。 [236]
• 子引用是一项新的MediaWiki功能，允许编辑者在复用参考文献时指定不同的详细信息。该功能将于10月14日部署至英语维基百科，并于10月底（预计为10月21日）部署至维基媒体基金会旗下的其余wiki站点。常见问题解答列出了您的wiki站点为支持此次部署可采取的措施。这是由WMDE技术愿望项目实现的一项长期以来的社群愿望。 [237][238]

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 管理员工具将移除监视列表的列表视图，并将所有用户的默认视图设置为更改日志视图。此前，移动版网页上的监视列表有两种显示方式：一种是列表视图（以列表形式展示所监视的页面），另一种是更改日志视图（以日志形式展示所监视页面的更改）；用户可通过高级移动端控制设置在两者间切换。这种双重显示模式给代码库维护带来了难题，因为这意味着需要同时管理两套代码。改用更改日志视图作为默认设置，有助于简化代码库并降低遗漏程序错误的风险。
• 维基百科Android应用正在测试一项新功能，允许用户在“为你推荐”信息流中收听条目简介。该功能利用文本转语音模型朗读现有的条目内容，既不改写原文，也不添加任何额外信息。这项为期30天的实验将于9月第三周在维基百科Beta版应用中启动，随后于10月推广至正式版维基百科Android应用，并面向部分符合条件的用户开放。只有一小部分应用用户（即使用英语信息流且至少关注了一个兴趣话题的用户）能够体验此功能。此次实验是维基百科提升用户参与度和留存率的系列举措之一，以便为应用读者提供更多样化的内容消费方式。了解详情并分享反馈。
• 9月14日，英语维基百科默认对所有未登录及新注册用户启用了CodeMirror语法高亮功能。鉴于未出现任何不良影响，现提议在未来几周内将此变更推广至所有wiki站点。如果您有任何疑虑或反馈，或者您的wiki站点希望选择不启用此功能，请参阅帮助页面。 [239]
• 支持所有数据类型的维基数据移动端陈述编辑功能将于10月13日正式上线；届时，该功能将从维基数据测试功能中移除，并向所有编辑者开放。用户可以报告错误并分享反馈。
• 上周，维基导游、维基文库、维基学院、维基语录和维基词典上的最近更改和监视列表订阅源移除了关于语言链接变更的记录。由于未发现不良影响，维基数据支持维基媒体项目团队计划将此变更推广至所有维基百科站点。该变更定于协调世界时（UTC）10月13日07:00实施；届时，当页面对应维基数据项中的“其他”语言版本链接被添加、移除或修改时，编辑者将不再收到相关通知。依赖此类通知的编辑者可参阅项目页面了解详情，或在讨论页分享反馈及申请让其所属wiki站点退出此项变更。 [240]
• 上週有28件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，此前使用移动设备在Pageviews工具上滚动页面时，若不慎触碰图表可能会导致意外缩放，这一问题现已修复。在触控设备上，点击并拖动缩放的功能已被禁用。 [241]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 数据转储将迎来三大变化：旧版内容转储（2026年1月弃用）将停止服务；作为替代方案的MediaWiki内容文件导出将延迟推出，以便预留“安全缓冲期”；转储文件现已提供7zip压缩格式。用户需要更改下载转储文件时使用的URL。如需了解更多信息、时间表及迁移指南，请参阅旧版内容转储停止服务。
• 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

深入了解

• 维基媒体基金会发现OpenAI的智能体（agent）在维基媒体项目中存在未经授权的活动，包括编辑维基页面、试图利用公开笔记工具以及产生大量自动化流量。请阅读Diff上的文章，了解有关这些活动及基金会应对措施的更多详情。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 为了评估引入社群所请求的功能对未登录读者留存率的影响，我们将针对未登录读者开展一项关于图像轮播的测试。通过图像轮播功能，读者可以浏览由社群上传、并由编辑精选出的与特定条目相关的图片。该测试将于11月20日启动。
• 我们将向0.5%通过Google访问英文维基百科且处于未登录状态的移动端读者推送一则测试性提示，邀请他们将维基百科添加为Google首选来源。此次测试用来评估该提示能否提升读者留存率，并鼓励使用Google搜索的用户更频繁地访问维基百科。测试将于10月15日至29日期间进行，届时将评估其对读者留存及引流效果的影响。
• 上週有26件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，此前存在一个问题，当用户尝试执行SQL查询时会收到“拒绝访问”错误，导致查询无法正常运行。现已得到修复。 [242]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 由于一个长期存在的缺陷，那些使用OAuth 2客户端凭据流程并代表其所有者执行操作的应用程序，会被系统视为处于已登出状态。对于10月19日（周一）及之后注册的新应用程序，此问题将得到修复。部分受影响的应用程序需要重新注册。 [243]

2026年第44期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 9月29日开始的实验正在为视作读者的新账号持有者测试条目推荐。与维基百科应用内的面向已登录读者的推荐类似，通过建议要阅读的条目，此实验意在鼓励新账号持有者定期阅读与回到网站，目标是将站内引导访问量提升1%。参见相关的社群愿望清单提议。
• 由于PHP中的安全漏洞，数个维基媒体服务于上一周下线。这是因为它们需要在能够安全地重新上线之前更新。这不是只针对维基媒体运动的问题，但影响很多网站。你可以关注Wikitech上的最新消息。Cloud VPS和Toolforge将需要更长的时间以重新上线。这是为了保证依靠Could VPS和Toolforge运行的应用程序不受影响。工具开发者可以在Cloud通知电邮列表查看最新消息和更多信息。 [244][245]
• 上周我们曾提到，为了评估引入社群所请求的功能对未登录读者留存率的影响，我们将针对未登录读者开展一项关于图像轮播功能的测试。由于出现了一些问题，我们将重启该测试；测试将于10月26日正式上线，而非此前宣布的11月20日。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 新的机器人检测系统即将来到维基媒体wiki，以更好地鉴别假扮成人类访问者的自动化流量。这可能会导致访客统计数据出现突发性变化，影响范围涵盖从2026年6月20日起至10月26日（及之后）的期间。
• 由于一个安全问题，在维基页面渲染乐谱的乐谱扩展已在所有维基上被临时停用。受影响的页面将会显示通知而非乐谱，但内部代码保持不变。编者不需要做出任何操作，并且此问题目前正在被修复。当扩展被重新启用时，将会进行单独通知。在Phabricator阅读更多。
• 上週有18件由社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，此前在现有编辑器中错误地启用了CodeMirror语法高亮显示的问题，现已得到修复。 [246]

近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者

• 2026年10月28日15:00 UTC，所有维基将进入只读模式，持续数分钟。此举是为了进行数据中心服务器切换备份测试，该测试每年进行两次。在切换过程中，所有维基媒体网站的流量将从主数据中心转移至备用数据中心，以测试可用性并确保即使在紧急情况下服务也不会中断。 [247]

2026年第45期技術新聞

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譯版本。

本週要聞

• 上周，由于PHP中存在的一处安全漏洞，许多维基媒体工具被迫下线。这一问题波及了全球范围内的众多网站。自10月22日起，Toolforge和Cloud VPS已恢复运行。许多重要工具也已陆续恢复正常。部分工具需要由各自的志愿维护者手动重启；另一些工具则需升级至已修复该漏洞的PHP版本。还有一些工具所使用的PHP版本过旧，无法应用最新的安全补丁，因此需要维护者将其升级至较新的版本。这可能需要投入额外的工作。您可以在Wikitech上关注相关进展。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者

• 维基百科的Android和iOS应用目前正在针对阿拉伯语、法语和日语维基百科开展一项新的可选搜索实验。参与的读者可以在条目内进行搜索，并直接在原始条目中打开所引用的段落；该功能不会生成任何答案或摘要。这是语义搜索第二阶段中四项实验的第一项。该实验于10月22日启动，为期20天。欢迎在项目的讨论页面上提供反馈。
• 未来受众团队正计划在移动版维基百科上推出分享卡片功能。该功能允许用户根据当前阅读的条目，生成一张精美的卡片并分享给朋友。卡片中包含条目标题、配图、正文开头及相关来源信息，并附有指向原文的链接，方便接收者阅读全文。欢迎各位编辑在10月29日至11月8日期间进行试用，只需在任意条目的网址后添加?useformat=mobile&sharecard=1即可。欢迎在项目讨论页分享您的想法，并通过Phabricator报告遇到的任何问题。
• 11月2日起，数学公式的默认渲染方式将发生变更。变更后，服务器将以MathML格式发送公式，并由您的浏览器通过MathJax进行渲染显示。出于系统可持续性和安全性的考量，这是停用Mathoid/RESTBase进程中的最后一步。如有疑问或遇到问题，欢迎在此提出或反馈。 [248]
• 您有新功能的想法，或者需要修复的错误吗？ 歡迎在11月8日之前，向社群願望清單提出您的想法！
• 上週有41件由社群提交的工單得到解決。
