2025年第10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
- 所有已登入編輯者現在皆可在手機版網站編輯整個頁面。在工具列上的「更多」選單中點擊「编辑整页」即可。先前編輯者須啟用高级模式才能使用這項功能。 [7]
- 請介面管理員協助移除本地
MediaWiki:Common.css中帶有「 mw-ref」的已棄用Cite CSS碼。此全域搜尋列出了需清理的維基站點以及需移除的代碼，另可參考此範例。參閱CSS遷移项目頁面進一步了解如何提供協助。Cite腳註標記（「[1]」）現在由Parsoid渲染，不再需要上述的已棄用CSS。反向链接的CSS（「mw:referencedBy」）目前應維持不變。這項清理作業應不會給讀者帶來明顯變化。請在3月20日前協助移除這些代碼，若未及時處理，之後將由開發團隊代為移除。 - 現在，若在受連鎖保護的頁面加入文件（例如
[[File:MediaWiki.png]]），系統將不再限制對文件描述頁面的編輯，而僅限制文件新版本的上傳。反之，若嵌入文件描述頁面（例如{{:File:MediaWiki.png}}），對描述頁面的編輯將受連鎖保護限制。 [8][9] - 編輯者若想要將文件還原至較早版本，現在需要與上傳文件新版本相同的權限。系統現在會檢查「覆盖现存文件
(reupload)」或「覆盖自己上传的文件(reupload-own)」權限，並遵守連鎖保護。 [10][11] - 現在，管理員在使用Special:Nuke工具列出待刪除頁面時，可以選擇同時列出相關的討論頁和重定向頁面，而無需事後再手動處理。 [12]
- 前幾期提到單一用户登录（SUL）系統為配合瀏覽器對跨網域Cookie的限制，登入和帳號建立頁面將移至中央網域——這項更新將於3、4月向所有用户推出。團隊計劃於本週為Group0站點上的所有新帳號建立流程應用這項更新。參閱SUL3项目頁面了解最新時間表和更多細節。
- 自上週以來，部分介面圖示在頁面尚未加载完全時，錯誤顯示為黑色方塊（深色模式中則為白色）。本週將修正此問題。 [13]
- 已新建一個維基： 錫爾赫特語维基百科 (
w:syl:) [14] - 上週有23件社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，之前老舊版本的手機版Firefox瀏覽器無法正常加载圖片，現已修正此問題。 [15]

Growth Newsletter #33
[编辑]
A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.
This year, the Growth team is exploring ways to help more new account holders start editing—and do so constructively, meaning their edits are not reverted. Our latest experiments include:
- Gradual rollout of "Add a Link" at English Wikipedia – We are gradually introducing the "Add a Link" structured task to newcomers at English Wikipedia (T386029). This serves as a natural A/B test to measure its impact on activation, retention, and revert rates (T382603). Previous experiments on pilot wikis showed that "Add a Link" increases newcomer participation, particularly by helping them make constructive (non-reverted) edits.
- Testing in-article suggestions for first-time editors – Many new account holders want to contribute but don’t know where to start. To help, we’re piloting a feature that surfaces structured task suggestions directly in an article’s read view for brand-new editors (T385343). These suggestions will appear for logged-in users with no edits, providing a clear, simple way to begin contributing that is surfaced while they read.
Newcomers often struggle to find their place in Wikipedia’s collaborative environment. While experienced editors easily discover events like edit-a-thons and writing campaigns, newcomers often miss out.
- To bridge this gap, we launched the Community Updates module for the Newcomer Homepage. This module is disabled by default, allowing Community Admins to decide how (or if) to use it.
- If your community hosts events, consider setting up a Community Update to engage and welcome newcomers! Learn more on Diff. To configure, visit Special:CommunityConfiguration.
Community Configuration is now available across all wikis, including non-Wikipedia projects (T383910). Community Configuration allows admins to customize various features like Growth features and Automoderator for their communities, and more recently the Babel extension now allows admins to modify configuration:
- Babel customization – Admins can now configure Babel settings (T374348), including category naming, automatic category creation, and more. See an example on Wikimedia Commons.
- Upcoming configurable features – Projects exploring community configuration options include: Incident Reporting System (T374113) and Cite backlinks (T378807).
Mentors play a key role in guiding new editors. If you’re interested in mentoring, or turning mentorship on at your wiki, check out the Mentorship FAQ
- Starting February 17, 100% of new accounts at English Wikipedia will be assigned a mentor (T384505).
- At Spanish Wikipedia, on 50% of newcomers get a mentor. Experienced contributors are encouraged to join mentorship so that Spanish Wikipedia can provide a mentor to all new users.
Looking Ahead
[编辑]In the coming months, we will continue balancing maintenance work—such as deprecating EditGrowth Config (T367574) and migrating Statslib (T359352) — with user-facing improvements that support new editors and foster the next generation of contributors.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-11
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Smoky (Los Angeles, 1931 o 1932 - Los Angeles, aprile 1934), occasionalmente scritto Smokey, è stato un cane che divenne la mascotte del villaggio olimpico estivo del 1932 e, successivamente, dell'evento generale. Pur non essendo oggi riconosciuto dal CIO, è stato, seppur non in modo ufficiale, la prima mascotte olimpica dei Giochi, oltre che a essere attualmente l'unica a essere stata un animale vero. Le successive edizioni non ebbero mascotte, dovendo aspettare i X Giochi olimpici invernali di Grenoble nel 1968 per ritrovarne una ufficialmente riconosciuta, lo sciatore stilizzato Schuss, allora non considerato ufficiale ma successivamente riconosciuto come tale.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-12
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
en:Amazonas, o maior rio do mundo
(pt:Amazonas, o maior rio do mundo) (es:Amazonas, o maior rio do mundo)
(pt:Amazonas, o maior rio do mundo) (es:Amazonas, o maior rio do mundo)
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Amazonas, o maior rio do mundo (lit. 'Amazon: The Greatest River in the World') is a 1922 Brazilian silent documentary film produced in 1918 by Silvino Santos. It is a black-and-white film that portrays life in the Amazon rainforest. Completed in 1920, it is considered one of the oldest cinematic records of the Amazon. It was presumed lost in 1931 and only rediscovered in 2023 at the Czech Film Archive.
Silvino Santos produced the work over three years using sophisticated cinematic techniques, which led it to be deemed of "immense artistic value" by Le Monde. It has also been described as the "Holy Grail of Brazilian silent cinema" by The Guardian.

2025年第12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
- 每年春秋分前後，維基媒體基金會的網站可靠性工程團隊例行執行資料中心伺服器切換，將所有流量從主要伺服器導向備用伺服器。這個半年一次的程序確保了我們在面臨危機時，可以隨時使用備援資料中心。多虧了Listen to Wikipedia工具，您可以實際聽到切換的過程：開始之前，您會聽到源源不絕的編輯聲音；然後，當系統進入短暫的唯讀階段時，聲音會停止數分鐘，切換完成後才會恢復。更多關於此次切換的背景和細節，請參閱Diff文章。如果您想聆聽即將到來的伺服器切換，請於3月19日 14:00 UTC收聽各維基的聲音。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 經改良的內容翻譯工具面板現已供10個維基百科使用，並即將在所有維基百科推出。有了統一的面板，桌面裝置使用者現在可以翻譯條目章節；探索並存取以主題為基礎的條目建議篩選器（起初僅限行動裝置）；從維基專題和編輯活動中探索並存取社群定義的清單篩選器，也稱為「收藏集」（Collections）。
- 維基共享資源引入新的檔案分類選擇系統：如果某分類含有一個或多個子分類，點擊箭頭即可在表單中展開子分類清單，以便選取正確分類。父分類名稱會持續顯示在頂部，可隨時返回父分類。這應該可以減少志願者修復/建立新分類的工作量。這項變更同樣適用於行動裝置。這些變更是上传向导改進計畫的一部分。
- 社群技術團隊正在徵求維基社群參與試用多重封鎖功能以及更新後的Special:Block頁面，預定3月底進行。多重封鎖可讓管理員同時對同一使用者施加多種不同類型的封鎖。如果您是管理員或監管員，並希望我們與您的社群討論參與試行的事宜，請在專案討論頁留言。
- 3月25日開始，編輯團隊將在12個維基百科站點測試編輯檢查的新功能：多重檢查。在這些維基中，一半的新手在編輯時會看到所有參考檢查，而另一半則如同往常只看到一個。此測試旨在觀察編輯者在單一編輯階段中看到多個（且相關的）參考檢查時，是否會感到困惑或氣餒。在這些維基中，有顯示參考檢查的編輯所使用的標籤將被簡化，因為一筆編輯中可能會顯示多個標籤。Phabricator工單記錄了變更的標籤。 [18]
- 全域提醒機器人是一項通知使用者其臨時權限即將到期的服務，現已支援在訊息標題中使用權限群組的本地化名稱。請翻譯人員參閱說明文件和現有譯文清單，檢查其語言是否需要更新或新增譯文。
- Special:GlobalPreferences中的性別設定——用來設定軟體在介面訊息中應該如何稱呼您——現在可以如預期般覆寫本地預設值。 [19]
- 上週有26件社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，Android版維基百科App修正了使用者以多種語言瀏覽和搜尋時發生的錯誤。 [20]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-13
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Ala al-Din Ali (January 1353 – August 1380) was the third Sultan of the Eretnids ruling from 1366 until his death. He inherited the throne at a very early age and was removed from administrative matters. He was characterized as particularly keen on personal pleasures, which later discredited his authority. During his rule, emirs under the Eretnids enjoyed considerable autonomy, and the state continued to shrink as neighboring powers captured several towns.

[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
- 維基媒體基金會正在徵求您對下年度目標與關鍵結果（OKR）草案的反饋意見，這些OKR將影響基金會的下一個財政年度（從7月開始）的產品與技術優先事項。「目標」是廣泛的高層次領域，而「關鍵成果」則是追蹤目標成功與否的可衡量方式。請在討論頁分享您的意見，語言不限，最好在4月底之前提出。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- CampaignEvents擴充功能將於2025年4月部署至多個維基（詳情請見部署計畫），團隊已開始與確定部署的維基社群接觸。該擴充功能提供了在維基上籌辦、管理和推廣協作活動（如Event活動、編輯松、維基專題）的工具。該擴充功能有三個工具：活動報名、協作清單和邀請清單。該擴充功能目前已部署至13個維基百科（包括中文、英語、法語、西班牙語等），以及維基數據。若有任何問題或請求，請至擴充功能討論頁或Phabricator（加上
#campaigns-product-team標籤）。 - 3月31日當週開始，維基站點將能夠自行設定哪些使用者群組可以在活動報名功能中檢視非公開報名者，這是CampaignEvents擴充功能的一部分。預設情況下，活動籌辦人員和本地管理員將能夠檢視非公開報名者。這改變了目前的行為，即只有活動籌辦人員才能檢視非公開報名者。維基社群在Phabricator請求變更配置（加上
#campaigns-product-team標籤）來變更預設配置。過往活動的參與者可隨時取消報名。 - 有自訂
MediaWiki:Sidebar的維基的管理員應檢查其之中是否列有特殊页面項目。若沒有，管理員應使用 * specialpages-url|specialpages來加入該項目。帶有預設側邊欄的維基將在4月看到該链接從工具欄移至側邊欄。 [21] - Minerva外觀（手機版網站）將重要通知和常规通知整合進一個鈴鐺圖示
中。Minerva長期存在一個錯誤，僅在有未讀「重要通知」時才會顯示新通知標示。現已修正此問題。未來在Minerva中，無論您有未讀的重要通知或常规通知，鈴鐺圖示上方皆會顯示未讀通知數量。 [22] - 上週有23件社群提交的工單得到解決。
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 視覺化編輯器引入了新的用戶端勾點，供開發者在整合視覺化編輯器目標生命週期時使用。該勾點應該會取代現有的生命週期相關勾點，並且在不同平台之間更加一致。此外，新的勾點也將適用於全文編輯以外的視覺化編輯，讓小工具也能與討論工具（DiscussionTools）中的編輯器互動。編輯團隊打算棄用並最終移除舊的生命週期勾點，因此團隊很關注任何新勾點未涵蓋的用例，如有相關資訊，歡迎在工單中與團隊分享。
- 使用
mw.Api這一JavaScript函式庫的開發者，現在可以使用userAgent參數來識別使用該函式庫的工具：var api = new mw.Api( { userAgent: 'GadgetNameHere/1.0.1' } );。如果您有在維護小工具或使用者腳本，請務必設置使用者代理（user agent），這將有助於函式庫和伺服器的維護，以及區分合法與非法的流量。 [23][24] - 本週稍晚代码更新細節： MediaWiki

The Chilembwe uprising was a rebellion against British colonial rule in Nyasaland (modern-day Malawi) which took place in January 1915. It was led by John Chilembwe, an American-educated Baptist minister. Based around his church in the village of Mbombwe in the south-east of the colony, the leaders of the revolt were mainly from an emerging black middle class. They were motivated by grievances against the British colonial system, which included forced labour, racial discrimination and new demands imposed on the African population following the outbreak of World War I.

2025年第14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
- 編輯團隊正在開發新的編輯檢查：華辭檢查（Peacock check）。這項檢查的目的是在使用者編輯維基頁面時找出非中立詞句，以便在他們發布編輯前通知並建議其修改。華辭檢查仍在早期階段，團隊正在尋求社群的意見：在此Phabricator工單中，團隊正在收集他們目前所研究的語言版本的維基內方針、用來標記非中立條目的模板，以及編輯摘要的用語（術語與關鍵字）。要參與其中，您可以編輯工單中的表格、在工單留言，或是直接傳訊息給Trizek (WMF)。
- 所有維基站點的單一使用者登入系統皆已更新，登入與帳號建立頁面已移至中央網域。這可讓使用者登入流程兼容瀏覽器對跨網域Cookie的限制，這些限制會讓某些瀏覽器的使用者無法維持登入狀態。
- 上週有35件社群提交的工單得到解決。
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 3月31日開始，MediaWiki介面團隊將開始限量發布已生成的OpenAPI規格，以及以SwaggerUI為基礎的MediaWiki REST API沙盒體驗。團隊邀請來自特定非英語維基百科社群（中文、阿拉伯語、德語、法語、希伯來語、國際語、荷蘭語）的開發者，以他們的偏好語言審閱說明文件並試用沙盒。除此之外，沙盒與OpenAPI規格也將在測試維基的REST沙盒特殊頁面上提供給偏好使用英語的開發者。在預覽期間，MediaWiki介面團隊也邀請開發者分享您的體驗。預覽期約為兩週，之後沙盒和OpenAPI規格將提供給所有維基站點使用。
- 本週稍晚代码更新細節： MediaWiki
深入了解
- 有時，一行小小的程式碼變更，卻有著重大的意義：這項變更意味著多年來，我們第一次能夠從單一座核心資料中心執行所有提供給
maps.wikimedia.org（專門為維基媒體站點提供多語言地圖的主機）的堆疊，我們每次執行資料中心切換時都會進行這項測試。這項進展非常重要，因為它確保即使其中一座資料中心發生意外，我們仍能持續提供網站服務。這項變更歸功於兩位開發人員的大量工作，他們將地圖堆疊的最後一個組件移植到Kubernetes，我們在那裡能更有效率地分配資源，從而使單一資料中心能承受更多流量。這項工作涉及許多複雜步驟，因為這個軟體及其所使用的軟體函式庫需要許多逾期已久的升級。這類工作讓維基媒體的基礎架構更具永續性。
會議與活動
- 2025年5月14日至16日，2025年春季MediaWiki使用者與開發者研討會將於美國桑達斯基舉行，並同時線上舉行。研討會將圍繞不同產業公司使用MediaWiki軟體的情況進行討論，並鼓勵及吸引新使用者。活動報名及演講報名現已開始，可前往研討會網站報名。

An earthquake affected Myanmar on 5 May 1930 with a moment magnitude (Mw ) 7.4. The shock occurred 35 km (22 mi) beneath the surface with a maximum Rossi–Forel intensity of IX (Devastating tremor). The earthquake was the result of rupture along a 131 km (81 mi) segment of the Sagaing Fault—a major strike-slip fault that runs through the country. Extensive damage was reported in the southern part of the country, particularly in Bago and Yangon, where buildings collapsed and fires erupted. At least 550, and possibly up to 7,000 people were killed. A moderate tsunami struck the Burmese coast which caused minor damage to ships and a port. It was felt for over 570,000 km2 (220,000 sq mi) and as far as Shan State and Thailand. The mainshock was followed by many aftershocks; several were damaging. The December earthquake was similarly sized which also occurred along the Sagaing Fault.

2025年第16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
- 本週稍晚，預設的縮圖尺寸將從220px增至250px。這將改變所有維基頁面的顯示方式。部分社群多年來一直要求更改預設縮圖尺寸，但過去因技術限制而未能實現。 [26]
- 檔案縮圖現在以特定尺寸儲存。如果頁面指定的縮圖尺寸不在標準尺寸（20、40、60、120、250、330、500、960）之列，那麼MediaWiki將會選擇最接近的較大縮圖尺寸，但會請瀏覽器將其縮小到所要求的尺寸。這在視覺上不會有任何變化，但使用者可能會載入稍大一點的圖片。在頁面中使用縮圖時，如果縮圖尺寸不是很重要，請選擇其中一種標準尺寸，以避免額外的瀏覽器縮小步驟。 [27][28]
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 維基媒體基金會正在開發名為Edge Uniques的系統，該系統可用於實現A/B測試，幫助抵禦DDoS攻擊，並讓我們更容易了解維基媒體網站的訪客數量。有了Edge Uniques，基金會可以更有效率地打造能幫助讀者的工具，讓讀者更容易找到他們要找的東西。
- 為了提升使用者安全性，現在有一小部分的登入嘗試將需要輸入一次性密碼，該密碼將以電子郵件寄送。請檢查您的帳號是否設有有效的電子郵件地址，且該地址已被系統確認。 [29]
- 「您有沒有興趣參加一個簡短的調查，以改善您的維基上的巡查和回退工具？」這個問題將從下週開始在7個維基的近期變更和監視清單頁面上向使用者提出。內容維護工具團隊想更了解那些：檢視維基媒體專案的新編輯，並判斷這些編輯是否遵守專案方針的工作。
- 4月15日，
query.wikidata.org將不再支援完整的維基數據圖表。該日之後，學術文章將可透過 query-scholarly.wikidata.org取得，而維基數據上託管的其他資料則可透過 query.wikidata.org端點取得。這是預定的維基數據圖表拆分計畫的一部分，該計畫於2024年9月公布。詳情請見維基數據頁面。 - 季刊維基媒體App電子報新期數發布。內容涵蓋了維基百科行動應用程式的更新、實驗與改進。
- 上週有30件社群提交的工單得到解決。

近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 自4月15日起，維基函數已與達戈姆巴語維基百科整合。這是第一個能夠從維基函數呼叫函數並在條目中使用的專案。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。有了維基函數，使用者只需呼叫一個穩定的全域函數即可達成目的，無需使用本地模板。 [30]
- 新增了一種lint錯誤：空标题（說明文件）。Linter擴充功能旨在找出頁面中需要或可以修正的wikitext語句，並提供指引，說明這些語句的問題以及如何修正。 [31]
- 上週有37件社群提交的工單得到解決。
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 繼在HuggingFace上發布之後，由維基媒體企業服務（Wikimedia Enterprise）開發的「Structured Contents」資料集現在也可在Kaggle上取用。這項Beta計畫著重於讓維基媒體資料更易於機器讀取，以供大量重複使用。這次，他們在開放資料集社群已在使用的平台上發布這個測試版，以尋求回饋，幫助改善產品，利於將來的廣泛發布。參閱更多關於整個Structured Contents專案，以及第一個可自由使用的版本。
- 本週沒有MediaWiki版本更新。
會議與活動
- 編輯團隊與機器學習團隊邀請有興趣的志願者參加視訊會議，討論最新的編輯檢查：華辭檢查。華辭檢查可在編輯者鍵入文字時偵測「華而不實」、「過度宣傳」或「非中立」的語句。我們鼓勵經常接觸新手的編輯者、協助修正此類文字的編輯者，或對我們在專案中使用AI的方式感興趣的編輯者參加。會議將於2025年4月28日 18:00-19:00 UTC在Zoom上舉行（查看您的當地時間）。

[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Lorrin Andrews Thurston (July 31, 1858 – May 11, 1931) was a Hawaiian citizen lawyer, politician, and businessman. Thurston played a prominent role in the revolution that overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom to replace Queen Liliʻuokalani with the Republic of Hawaii, with discreet US support for which Congress much later apologized. He published the Pacific Commercial Advertiser (a forerunner of the present-day Honolulu Star-Advertiser), and owned other enterprises. From 1906 to 1916, he and his network lobbied with national politicians to create a national park to preserve the Hawaiian volcanoes.

本週要聞
- 編輯團隊和機器學習團隊正在開發一項面向新手的檢查：華辭檢查。這項檢查利用預測模型和AI，鼓勵編輯者改善其編輯的語調。團隊邀請志願者參與審查下列語言的華辭模型的初版：阿拉伯語、西班牙語、葡萄牙語、英語和日語。如果您來自上述維基並有興趣參與審查該模型，歡迎至MediaWiki.org報名參加。報名截止日期為5月23日，當天亦為測試開始日。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 2025年5月20日開始，監督員和用戶查核員必須用雙重驗證（2FA）保護其帳號，才能使用其高級權限。所有屬於這兩個群組但未啟用2FA的使用者都已收到通知。未來這項要求可能會擴大到其他高級權限群組。閱讀完整公告。
本月底，多重封鎖將開始大規模部署至多個維基：5月26日當週將部署至所有非維基百科專案以及加泰隆尼亞語維基百科；6月2日當週將部署至所有其他維基百科。如有任何疑慮，請聯絡團隊。管理員現在可以在本地瀏覽Special:Block?usecodex=1來測試新UI，或是在測試維基測試完整功能。多重封鎖可讓管理員同時對同一使用者施加多種不同類型的封鎖。詳情請參閱說明頁面。 [33]- 本週稍晚，列出幾乎所有特殊頁面的Special:SpecialPages將更新整體設計。經過重新設計後，該特殊頁面在數個方面改善了使用者體驗，包括：名稱與別名搜尋功能、排序功能、更明顯的「受限特殊頁面」標示，以及更適合行動裝置的外觀。您現在可以在Beta Cluster預覽新版本，並在Phab工單分享反饋意見。 [34]
- 更多維基現已可以使用Chart擴充功能。詳細部署資訊請參閱部署時間表。
- 5月27日，維基函數將部署至5個維基詞典：豪薩語、伊博語、孟加拉語、馬拉雅拉姆語和迪維希語。這是維基函數的第二批部署。部署完成後，這些專案將能夠從維基函數呼叫函數，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。有了維基函數，使用者只需呼叫一個穩定的全域函數即可達成目的，無需使用本地模板。
- 本週稍晚，維基媒體基金會將發布一個實驗中心，用於展示和獲得使用者對產品實驗的反饋。這些實驗協助維基媒體運動了解新使用者、他們如何與網路互動，以及他們如何影響維基媒體運動。一些實驗例子包括生成影片、維基百科Roblox速通遊戲和Discord機器人。
- 上週有29件社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如：使用API建立帳號時會遇到一些問題，現已得到修復。 [35]
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 部分與Special:Block互動的小工具與腳本需要更新才能與新的管理封鎖介面互動。請查閱開發者手冊以了解更多資訊。如果您需要任何協助或您的腳本無法與新的介面互動，請在此討論頁留言讓技術團隊知道。 [36]
- Lua的
mw.title物件可用來取得特定維基頁面的資訊。本週開始，該物件將新增名為isDisambiguationPage的屬性，可用來檢查頁面是否為消歧義頁面。 [37] 
腳本開發者可以使用新的反向代理工具來透過mw.loader.load從gitlab.wikimedia.org載入JavaScript和CSS。工具的作者希望這個工具能實現腳本的協同開發工作流程，包括gitlab.wikimedia.org上的linting、單元測試、代碼生成和代碼審查，而無需另外將腳本複製貼上到維基媒體維基上以進行整合和驗收測試。詳情請參閱Wikitech上的 Tool:Gitlab-content。- 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-22
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Una lamiera bugnata o mandorlata è una lamiera di metallo ottenuta dalla laminazione di una bramma attraverso rulli che, tramite punzonatura o goffratura, imprimono sulla lamina rilievi a forma di rombo o ellisse, detti bugne. Nel caso questi rilievi siano alternati singolarmente nei due assi, si parla di lamiera diamantata, mentre se le forme sono predisposte in maniera parallela per formare piccoli quadranti tra di loro tangenti, questo pattern viene identificato con il nome di mandorlato.
We tend to ignore the fact that this type of plate is the only reason we don't slip when we walk on steel and wet or frozen surfaces. The Italian article it's short but quite complete, and has just the right amount of citations, unlike other poor languages' versions.

本週要聞
- 目前，社群正在元維基上就抽象維基百科開發中的一個棘手議題展開討論：透過維基函數的函數與維基數據的數據開發的抽象內容，應該儲存在何處？討論位於「抽象維基百科/抽象內容的位置」，將持續開放至6月12日，歡迎各位提出各種意見。基金會將於諮詢期結束後做出決定並公布。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 從上週開始，除前20大維基外，所有維基的編輯者皆可在行動版視覺化編輯器中，從新的
+選單下使用更多工具。新選單初步將包含下列選項：參考文獻、象形文字和程式碼區塊。其餘維基預定於6月進行部署。 -
#ifexist解析器函數將不再暫存其目標頁面的連結。先前，Special:WantedPages會計入該函數的目標頁面，而無法發揮其真正效用。這項變更將提高Special:WantedPages的實用性，其最終目標為只列出實際的紅色連結所指向的頁面。這項變更會隨著來源頁面的更新而逐漸發生。 [38] - 本週，內容維護工具團隊將推出新的近期變更篩選器，從印尼語維基百科開始。這個新的篩選器會醒目標示可能會被回退的編輯。該篩選器旨在幫助近期變更巡查員識別可能有問題的編輯。該篩選器將於日後部署至其他維基。
- 點擊空白搜尋列後，未登入使用者將會看到延伸閱讀條目建議。這項功能將同時在桌面版與行動版推出。加泰蘭語、希伯來語、義大利語維基百科及部分其他專案的讀者將於5月21日至6月中旬之間獲得這項變更。其他維基的讀者將稍後才會獲得這項變更。這項功能旨在鼓勵使用者多閱讀維基。了解更多。
- Android版維基百科App的部分使用者可以使用一項面向讀者的新功能——WikiGames，以真實歷史事件為基礎的每日小遊戲。該遊戲已開始進行A/B測試，提供給下列語言的50%使用者：中文、英語、法語、葡萄牙語、俄語、西班牙語、阿拉伯語和土耳其語。
- MediaWiki.org的Newsletter擴充功能用於為全域使用者建立各種電子報。現在，該擴充功能發布的新期通知可以連結至既有頁面的特定章節，無需為每一期電子報另建新頁面。 [39]
- 上週有32件社群提交的工單得到解決。
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 先前在Wiki Replicas中棄用的
ipblocks檢視表將於6月初被移除。建議使用者改用新的block和block_target檢視表。 - 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

2025年第23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
- Chart擴充功能現在可以在所有維基媒體維基上使用。編輯者可以使用這個新的擴充功能來建立互動式的視覺化資料，例如柱狀圖、折線圖、面積圖和圓餅圖。Chart圖表旨在取代舊版Graph圖表擴充功能的許多用途。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 管理員現在可以更容易地在本地維基中，為視覺化編輯器的引用產生器配置自動引用功能。管理員現在可以在本地的
MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json頁面中，使用 _default鍵來設定預設模板（差異範例）。設定此預設值有助於將來新增項目類型時，確保現有配置不會過時。您仍可以為個別項目類型設定模板，這些模板會優先於預設模板。 [40] - 上週有20件社群提交的工單得到解決。
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 6月2日當週開始，以
action=login或action=clientlogin登入的機器人將更常登入失敗。這是因為我們增強了針對可疑登入行為的防護措施。使用機器人密碼或者使用免登入驗證方法（如OAuth）的機器人不受影響。如果您的機器人並非上句所述類型，請更新您的機器人；使用action=login且沒有機器人密碼的方法已於2016年棄用。這項變更對大多數機器人而言，僅需變更其所使用的密碼即可。 [41] - 本週開始，維基媒體維基將可以使用JavaScript ES2017功能，無論是在MediaWiki內部、小工具或個人腳本中。ES2017的一大特色是讓程式碼更易讀的
async/await語法。本週以前，平台僅允許使用ES2016以下的功能，而數月前，僅允許使用ES2015以下的功能。 [42] - 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki
會議與活動
- 2025年館聯維基媒體會議現正開放獎助金申請。會議將於10月30日至11月1日在葡萄牙里斯本舉行。無法負擔參與費用的館聯人可考慮申請獎助金，申請開放至6月7日止。

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-25
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
In the psychology of self, the future self concerns the processes and consequences associated with thinking about oneself in the future. People think about their future selves similarly to how they think about other people. The extent to which people feel psychologically connected (e.g., similarity, closeness) to their future self influences how well they treat their future self. When people feel connected to their future self, they are more likely to save for retirement, make healthy decisions, and avoid ethical transgressions. Interventions that increase feelings of connectedness with future selves can improve future-oriented decision making across these domains.

Growth News #34
[编辑]A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.
Mentoring new editors
[编辑]In February, Mentorship was successfully rolled out to 100% of newcomers on English Wikipedia. Following this milestone, we collaborated with Spanish Wikipedia to expand Mentorship coverage to 70% of new accounts, with plans to reach 85% soon unless concerns are raised by mentors. (T394867)
“Add a Link” Task – Iteration and Experimentation
[编辑]Our efforts to improve and scale the “Add a Link” structured task continued across multiple fronts:
- Community Feedback & Model Improvements: We’ve responded to community concerns with targeted changes:
- Restricting access to newer accounts (T393688)
- Some links types were removed to align with recommendations written in the English Wikipedia Manual of Style (T390683)
- Allowing communities to limit “Add a Link” to newcomers (T393771)
- The model used to suggest the links was improved to ease its training (T388258)
- English Wikipedia rollout and A/B test: We increased the rollout to 20% of newcomers, with analysis underway. Preliminary data suggests this feature makes new account holders more likely to complete an unreverted edit. (T386029, T382603)
- Surfacing Structured Tasks: An experiment where we show “add a link” suggestions to newly registered users while they are reading an article is running on pilot wikis (French, Persian, Indonesian, Portuguese, Egyptian Arabic). Initial results are under analysis. (T386029)
Newcomer Engagement Features
[编辑]- “Get Started” notification: Engineering is in progress for a new notification (Echo/email) to encourage editing among newcomers with zero edits. Early research shows this type of nudge is effective. (T392256)
- Confirmation email: We are exploring ways to simplify and improve the initial account confirmation email newly registered users receive. (T215665)
Community Configuration Enhancements
[编辑]Communities can now manage which namespaces are eligible for Event Registration via Community Configuration. (T385341)
Annual Planning
[编辑]The Wikimedia Foundation’s 2025–2026 Annual Plan is taking shape. The Growth and Editing teams will focus on the Contributor Experiences (WE1) objective, with a focus on increasing constructive edits by editors with fewer than 100 cumulative contributions.
Get Involved
[编辑]We value your insights and ideas! If you would like to participate in a discussion, share feedback, or pilot new features, please reach out on the relevant Phabricator tasks or at our talk page, in any language.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-26
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Pictorial maps (also known as illustrated maps, panoramic maps, perspective maps, bird's-eye view maps, and geopictorial maps) depict a given territory with a more artistic rather than technical style. It is a type of map in contrast to road map, atlas, or topographic map. The cartography can be a sophisticated 3-D perspective landscape or a simple map graphic enlivened with illustrations of buildings, people and animals. They can feature all sorts of varied topics like historical events, legendary figures or local agricultural products and cover anything from an entire continent to a college campus. Drawn by specialized artists and illustrators, pictorial maps are a rich, centuries-old tradition and a diverse art form that ranges from cartoon maps on restaurant placemats to treasured art prints in museums.

2025年第26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
- 本週，內容維護工具團隊和機器學習團隊將繼續推出近期變更的新篩選器，將其部署至最後一批維基百科。該篩選器利用研究團隊所建立的「回退風險模型」（Revert Risk model），醒目標示可能會被回退的編輯，協助近期變更巡查員識別可能有問題的貢獻。該功能將在以下維基百科推出：阿塞拜疆语维基百科、拉丁语维基百科、马其顿语维基百科、马拉雅拉姆语维基百科、马拉地语维基百科、新挪威语维基百科、旁遮普语维基百科、斯瓦希里语维基百科、泰卢固语维基百科、他加禄语维基百科。未來幾週內，該功能將繼續在本專案涵蓋的其餘維基百科推出。 [50]
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 上週，臨時帳號已部署至捷克語、韓語和土耳其語維基百科。本週下週，將繼續部署至其他大型維基百科。您可以在討論頁分享您對此專案的想法。 [51]
- Later this week, the Editing team will release Multi Check to all Wikipedias (except English Wikipedia). This feature shows multiple Reference checks within the editing experience. This encourages users to add citations when they add multiple new paragraphs to a Wikipedia article. This feature was previously available as an A/B test. The test shows that users who are shown multiple checks are 1.3 times more likely to add a reference to their edit, and their edit is less likely to be reverted (-34.7%). [52]
- 由於軟體更新以及為了符合最新的Unicode標準，有幾個頁面需要重新命名。所有這些變更都與標題大小寫變更有關。橫跨15個維基站點，大約有71個頁面和3個檔案將被重新命名；參見Phab工單中的完整清單。開發人員將於下週重新命名這些頁面，並在幾分鐘後透過系統設定更新來修復重新導向和嵌入檔案連結。
- 上週有24件社群提交的工單得到解決。 例如，先前使用者選取靠近頂端的文字時，一個錯誤會導致頁面向上捲動，此問題現已修正。 [53]
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- Editors can now use Lua modules to filter and transform tabular data for use with Extension:Chart. This can be used for things like selecting a subset of rows or columns from the source data, converting between units, statistical processing, and many other useful transformations. Information on how to use transforms is available. [54]
- 防濫用過濾器的
all_links變數已更名為new_links，以遵循一致的命名原則。舊名仍可作為別名正常運作。 [55] - 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

临时账号功能现已推出
[编辑]维基媒体计划允许任何人进行编辑，无论是否建立账号。在过去，未登入贡献者的编辑会被归属至其IP地址下。由于IP地址包含敏感资讯，可能会威胁到透过该地址连接的用户的隐私和安全，为了减轻用户隐私泄露的风险，维基媒体基金会决定引入临时账号。只有部分有反破坏管理需求的用户可以访问临时账号IP地址数据（即临时账号IP查看者、管理员等）。
临时账号的名称形如~2025-1234567（由英文半形波浪号、当前年份、一个自动生成的5-7位数字构成），用户不能选择或变更其临时账号的名称。临时账号会为未登入的编者自动建立，有效期为90天，其不能登入，也没有密码。自建立日期起经过90天之后，该临时账号将自动过期，无法继续使用和接收讨论页信息，后续编辑会分配给新的临时账号。临时账号通过浏览器的Cookie，将同一装置和浏览器在不同IP地址下进行的编辑归属于同一临时账号，与临时账号相关联的IP地址将被隐藏。
如果您符合“临时账号IP查看者”的资格要求，包括：已加入至少6个月，于反破坏中活跃，并且已有至少500次编辑；或是现任巡查员、回退员、傀儡调查助理、过滤器助理、过滤器编辑者。您可前往Wikipedia:权限申请/申请临时账号IP查看权提出请求。
如有任何疑问或意见，您可在此讨论提出。您亦可查看由基金会撰写的常见问题解答（英文版）以了解更多有关临时账号的功能。MediaWiki message delivery（留言） 2025年6月30日 (一) 01:37 (UTC)

Please be bold and help translate this article!
The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) is a 1,677-bed acute hospital located in Govan, in the south-west of Glasgow, Scotland. The hospital is built on the site of the former Southern General Hospital and opened at the end of April 2015. The hospital comprises a 1,109-bed adult hospital, a 256-bed children's hospital and two major Emergency Departments; one for adults and one for children. There is also an Immediate Assessment Unit for local GPs and out-of-hours services, to send patients directly, without having to be processed through the Emergency Department. The retained buildings from the former Southern General Hospital include the Maternity Unit, the Institute of Neurological Sciences, the Langlands Unit for medicine of the elderly and the laboratory. The whole facility is operated by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and is one of the largest acute hospital campuses in Europe.

Immunolabeling is a biochemical process that enables the detection and localization of an antigen to a particular site within a cell, tissue, or organ. Antigens are organic molecules, usually proteins, capable of binding to an antibody. These antigens can be visualized using a combination of antigen-specific antibody as well as a means of detection, called a tag, that is covalently linked to the antibody

Did you know?
- Query examples:
- Top album languages found on Wikidata right now source
- The names of the characters from Asterix & Obélix, in French, English, German, Latin and some other languages (source)
- Map the global distribution of periodicals in publication languages from the Eastern Mediterranean (Arabic, Ottoman, Greek, Ladino, Coptic etc) (source)

- Search: Fixed a bug when pasting into the search box (phab:T397608)
- Integration in Wikipedia and co:
- We began research into current limits for collapsing entity usage. (Basically when an article uses more data from an Item than the configured limit then we consider all data on that Item to be used. This is done for infrastructure reasons.) We’d like to improve this to further reduce unnecessary Wikidata changes showing up on watchlist and recent changes on Wikipedia and co.
- We will roll out showing labels instead of IDs in Wikidata edits in watchlist and recent changes to more wikis later this week.
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

2025年第32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
- 編輯者現在可以啟用使用者資訊卡功能。此功能可在頁面修訂紀錄、使用者貢獻日誌等類似頁面中的使用者名稱旁新增一個圖示。當用滑鼠或觸控螢幕按一下圖示後，它會顯示該使用者帳號的相關資料，例如編輯次數、被回退編輯數、被封鎖次數等。這是一個更廣泛專案的一部分，旨在讓網站維護者能更容易評估帳號的可信度。此功能現可在全域偏好設定中啟用，本週稍晚將可在本地偏好設定中啟用。 [70]
- 歡迎任何人就Connection團隊最近啟動的「協作貢獻」專案發表意見。該專案旨在創造一種新的方式來展示協作編輯活動（如編輯松、積壓消化作業、維基專題）對維基的影響。請在此討論頁發表您的意見。 [71]
- 管理員現在可以定義臨時帳號的預設封鎖時長。為此，管理員需要建立
MediaWiki:Ipb-default-expiry-temporary-account頁面，並使用MediaWiki:Ipboptions中定義的值。這讓管理員可以輕易將臨時帳號封鎖90天，由於臨時帳號的活動效期同為90天，這類封鎖實質等同於無限期封鎖。此解決方案的優點是讓Special:BlockList中不會堆滿永封臨時帳號。參見說明文件。 [72] - 上週有27件社群提交的工單得到解決。
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 小工具現在可以包含
.vue檔案。這讓使用Vue.js開發現代UI變得更容易，尤其是使用維基媒體官方設計系統Codex。Codex圖示集可以透過小工具定義載入。參見說明文件中的範例。對於使用Vue.js的腳本，現在有一個API模組可以用於載入Codex圖示集。 [73][74] - 模組開發者現在可以使用一個Lua介面來簡化在元維基上翻譯Lua模組的準備工作。這項改進使翻譯人員能夠更容易找到和編輯模組中的字串，而無需處理Lua原始碼。這有助於避免翻譯過程中出差錯，導致模組損壞。歡迎模組開發者和翻譯人員觀看示範影片，閱讀更多關於可翻譯模組的資訊以了解其運作方式，參考元維基的Module:User Wikimedia project作為使用範例，並對於如何解決工作流程中的挑戰分享意見回饋。該介面仍有一些效能問題，因此目前還不適合用於廣泛使用的模組。 [75]
- 與維基媒體網頁連接的外部工具的開發者，請務必設定符合使用者代理方針的使用者代理。由於外部爬蟲過度使用維基媒體資源，該方針將於8月開始嚴格執行。託管在維基媒體Toolforge或Cloud VPS上的工具暫時不會受此影響，但仍應設定使用者代理。在工單參閱更多技術細節，歡迎在工單中提出相關問題。
- 繼維基導遊和維基詞典成功轉換成Parsoid閱讀視圖之後，未來幾週內，Parsoid閱讀視圖將在一些小型維基百科推出。參閱Parsoid/解析器統一了解更多。 [76]

改為返回箭頭 
，並改動了按鈕位置，避免與用於清除文字的另一個叉號按鈕混淆。 [78] - 部分維基百科的編輯者將在監視清單、相關變更和近期變更頁面上看到新的「按頁面分組結果」開關。這是一項A/B實驗，計劃於8月11日開始，在中文、孟加拉語、捷克語、法語、希臘語、葡萄牙語、烏爾都語維基百科上進行3至6週。實驗旨在探討讓這項既有功能更容易被發現，會如何影響編輯者在這些特殊頁面中尋找編輯的能力。 [79]
- 上週有31件由社群提交的工單得到解決。
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 多個維基的Module:Unicode data皆有的相同資料集已移至維基共享資源（Category:Unicode Module Datasets），以遵循「一個共同資料來源，多個本地維基」的理念。大多數維基已更新為使用共享資源資料的版本。若有問題請在討論頁提出。 [80]
- 在Lua中，模組編者可以用
mw.addWarning()函數，讓模組在發生錯誤時新增警告。先前，新的警告會取代舊的警告。現在，您可以多次呼叫該函數來新增多個警告。如果您有在維護使用警告的Lua模組，請檢查它是否仍然如預期運作。 [81] - 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-34
[编辑]
The Ikiza (variously translated from Kirundi as the Catastrophe, the Great Calamity, and the Scourge), or the Ubwicanyi (Killings), was a series of mass killings—often characterised as a genocide—which were committed in Burundi in 1972 by the Tutsi-dominated army and government, primarily against educated and elite Hutus who lived in the country. Conservative estimates place the death toll of the event between 100,000 and 150,000 killed, while some estimates of the death toll go as high as 300,000.

Did you know?
- Query examples:
- Newest WikiProjects: WikiProject Irish Traditional Music - This project aims to enhance the representation of Irish traditional music on Wikidata
- Showcase Items: Olympia (Q737062) - painting by Édouard Manet
- Showcase Lexemes: spegnere (L1250690) - Italian verb (ˈspeɲ.ɲe.re) meaning "to extinguish (a fire)", "to turn off (a device)", or "to die (euphemistic)"
Development
- Mobile editing of statements: We are continuing the work - so far on the read-only mobile version. We will start looking into editing soon. You can follow along with the development on beta Wikidata.
- GraphQL: We are continuing some experiments with GraphQL to see if it is useful for specific types of access to Wikidata's data.
- Dumps: We are starting to experiment with subset dumps to see if we can get meaningful smaller dumps for reusers.
- Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
- We are working on scalability issues around the number of changes from Wikidata that get sent to Wikipedia and co. As part of this we are continuing to look into how to decrease the number of changes in recent changes and watchlist on Wikipedia and co that don't actually affect an article there.
- We are investigating how the upcoming larger rollout of Parsoid affects the tracking of Wikidata usage in articles.
- We are looking into improving the Databox Lua module that is used especially in smaller Wikipedias to get Wikidata-powered infoboxes.
- Federation: We are looking at the previous prototype for Federated Properties that allowed to use Wikidata's Properties on another Wikibase instance. 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]))

A corallite is the skeletal cup, formed by an individual stony coral polyp, in which the polyp sits and into which it can retract. The cup is composed of aragonite, a crystalline form of calcium carbonate, and is secreted by the polyp. Corallites vary in size, but in most colonial corals they are less than 3 mm (0.12 in) in diameter.

Il ttongsul (똥술), o vino di feci, è una tradizionale preparazione medicinale coreana con gradazione alcolica al 9% a base di feci, solitamente umane e preferibilmente di bambino. Nato probabilmente traendo spunto dalla medicina tradizionale cinese, nelle credenze popolari il vino di feci avrebbe proprietà benefiche per molti tipi di malesseri: sarebbe un rimedio per dolori muscolari, ustioni, infiammazioni, epilessia e fratture ossee.
Sebbene alcuni media occidentali abbiano in passato riportato che questa bevanda sia diffusa tra la popolazione coreana, al giorno d'oggi un numero molto limitato di persone ne fa uso, dopo aver subito un declino di popolarità nei secoli scorsi, tanto che la maggioranza dei giovani coreani non ne ha mai sentito parlare.

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。 [110]
- 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。 [111] - 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。 [112]
- 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。 [113][114]
- 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。 [115]
- 上週有31件由社群提交的工單得到解決。

Pak Kum-chol was a North Korean politician. Having been a guerrilla during the anti-Japanese struggle, he became a high-ranking politician after the liberation of Korea. Pak aligned himself with his former guerrilla brothers in arms from the Kapsan Operation Committee to form a faction within the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) called the "Kapsan faction". This faction sought to replace Kim Il Sung with Pak. Kim retaliated by purging the faction in 1967 in what is known as the Kapsan faction incident.

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。 [116] - 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。 [119]
- 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。 [120]
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。 [121]
- 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）。
- 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki
會議與活動
- 在法國巴黎舉行的2026年維基媒體國際會議現正開放獎助金申請，至10月31日截止。

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。 [122] - 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。

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-40
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Il Palazzo delle Poste, fino al 1945 Ricevitoria Postelegrafonica di Littoria, è un edificio postale di Latina, situato in piazzale dei Bonificatori.
Costruito nel 1932 in stile razionalista con influenze futuriste, riscontrabili nell'utilizzo di ampie superfici vetrate e di volumi verticali, oltre che per la presenza di l’utilizzo di materiali e scelte di design molto in voga all'epoca come, come i mattoni a vista, il travertino di Tivoli e l'Anticorodal (una lega di alluminio), ospita l'ufficio postale Latina Centro.

2025年第40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
- 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. [123]
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. [124]
- 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-noticewill be removed and replaced with those prefixed withblocked-notice-logextractin 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. [125] - 已新建一個維基： 馬來語维基语录 (
q:ms:) [126] - 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。 [127]
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.newBatchfunction 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.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-42
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
In Eritrea, abortion is banned except on the grounds of pregnancy from rape or incest, pregnancy of a minor, or risk to physical or mental health. Legal abortions require medical or judicial approval. Prior to Eritrea's independence, it applied Ethiopia's abortion law of the 1950s, which banned abortion unless life-saving. After independence, the 1991 penal code adapted this law to lift punishments on abortions on the grounds of rape, incest, or risk to life or health, but legal abortions did not exist in effect. The penal codes of 2001 and 2015 required physicians to prove health grounds for abortion. Unsafe abortion is common and contributes to maternal mortality in Eritrea. Post-abortion care is unavailable in some regions.

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。 [135]
- 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。 [136]
- 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。 [137][138]
- 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。 [139]
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。

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-43
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
On 27 January 1945, Auschwitz—a Nazi concentration camp and extermination camp in occupied Poland where more than a million people were murdered as part of the Nazis' "Final Solution" to the Jewish question—was liberated by the Soviet Red Army during the Vistula–Oder Offensive. Although most of the prisoners had been forced onto a death march, about 7,000 had been left behind. The Soviet soldiers attempted to help the survivors and were shocked at the scale of Nazi crimes. The date is recognized as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Growth News #35
[编辑]A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.
New releases
[编辑]English Wikipedia gets "Add a Link" Structured Task
[编辑]We released the "Add a Link" Structured Task to 100% of accounts at English Wikipedia on Tuesday, September 2nd (before then it was available to 20% of accounts).
Growth features for Wikidata
[编辑]After examining if the Growth features and Mentorship could be adapted to Wikidata, we activated the Growth features on Beta Wikidata to allow for testing and discussion (T400937). Although some features, like Suggested Edits, are Wikipedia-specific, the Growth team designed most features to be more wiki-agnostic.
Work in progress
[编辑]Revise Tone Structured Task
[编辑]The Growth team is making progress on the technical architecture, onboarding design, and early user testing. We are targeting an A/B test before the end of this year, with constructive edits by newcomers as the primary success metric.
Add a link to more wikis
[编辑]The machine learning team has been working on a new model that can suggest links to more languages, including Urdu, Chinese, and Japanese Wikipedias. We are starting to release the “Add a Link” feature to Wikipedias that weren’t supported by the previous model.
Add a link, which can be configured by the community locally, increases the chance that a new contributor will make their first edit and then continue to participate in Wikipedia.
Research
[编辑]The Growth team is involved in several research initiatives to help guide our future work:
Progression System – We have published initial findings from interviews with 10 English and French Wikipedia newcomers. The research examined motivations, challenges, and feedback on a prototype system intended to help editors build confidence, develop skills, and contribute more constructively over time.
Mobile Web Editing Research – This project combines quantitative and qualitative data, community feedback, and user journey analysis to identify possible ways to enhance the mobile editing experience.
Newcomers Survey – This project surveys successful newcomers on English Wikipedia to understand their early editing experiences, tool use, and community interactions.
Community events
[编辑]The Growth team participated in several community events to listen, share, and collaborate on improving newcomer experiences across Wikimedia projects.
Wikimania - Organizers as key partners to support newcomers' growth in our movement
This session invited organizers to share how they introduce newcomers to Growth features and the challenges they encounter. The discussion focused on common newcomer questions and opportunities to strengthen collaboration in supporting new editors.
Wikimania - Lightning Talk: Structured Tasks
This talk demonstrated how Structured Tasks help newcomers take their first successful steps on Wikipedia. It shared impact data, community configurations, and a demo of “Add a Link,” illustrating how these tasks make editing more accessible and sustainable, particularly for mobile contributors.
Wikimania - Building a Sustainable Future for Wikimedia Contributors
With active editor numbers declining, the Contributors Strategy aims to create a clearer, more engaging path for participation. This session, led by the WMF Contributors group with involvement from the Editing, Growth, Moderator Tools, and Connection (formerly Campaigns) teams, highlighted efforts to streamline contributor experiences, offer structured and mobile-friendly workflows, and foster meaningful engagement. Participants learned about ongoing initiatives and shared feedback to help shape a more inclusive and sustainable future for Wikimedia contributors.
CEE Meeting - Retaining beginners and improving content moderation: an inclusive and sustainable future for Wikipedia contributors
Many communities face a decline in volunteer engagement. Newcomers often leave soon after joining, while experienced editors struggle to manage increasingly complex workflows and overwhelming backlogs. We presented the Contributors Strategy and the different features and workflows that can help communities to address these challenges. We listened to the specific needs of the CEE communities to help guide the Contributors teams' work.

2025年第44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
- 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。 [143]
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。 [144]
- 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。 [145]
- 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

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.

2025年第45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
- 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。 [146]
- 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。 [147]
- 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。 [148]
- 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。 [149]
- 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！ [150]
- 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。 [151]
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。 [152] - 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。 [153]
- 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。

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-46
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
A marine coastal ecosystem is a marine ecosystem which occurs where the land meets the ocean. Worldwide there is about 620,000 kilometres (390,000 mi) of coastline. Coastal habitats extend to the margins of the continental shelves, occupying about 7 percent of the ocean surface area. Marine coastal ecosystems include many very different types of marine habitats, each with their own characteristics and species composition. They are characterized by high levels of biodiversity and productivity.
For example, estuaries are areas where freshwater rivers meet the saltwater of the ocean, creating an environment that is home to a wide variety of species, including fish, shellfish, and birds. Salt marshes are coastal wetlands which thrive on low-energy shorelines in temperate and high-latitude areas, populated with salt-tolerant plants such as cordgrass and marsh elder that provide important nursery areas for many species of fish and shellfish. Mangrove forests survive in the intertidal zones of tropical or subtropical coasts, populated by salt-tolerant trees that protect habitat for many marine species, including crabs, shrimp, and fish.

2025年第46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
- 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。 [154]
- 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。 [155]
- 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。 [156][157][158]
- 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。 [159]
- 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。 [160]
- 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。 [161]
- 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。 [162]
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。 [163] - 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sessionJwtcookie格式更趨一致。舊版存取憑證仍可正常使用。 [164] - 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）。 [165]
- 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。 [166] - 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。 [167][168]

Animal-made art consists of works by non-human animals, that have been considered by humans to be artistic, including visual works, music, photography, and videography. Some of these are created naturally by animals, often as courtship displays, while others are created with human involvement.
There have been debates about the copyright status of these works, with the United States Copyright Office stating in 2014 that works that lack human authorship cannot have their copyright registered at the US Copyright Office.

2025年第48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
- 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。 [170]
- 本週稍晚，啟用「增强版语法高亮」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。 [171]
- 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。 [172]
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。 [173]
- 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。 [174] - 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。

Please be bold and help translate this article!
The term "halachic state" (Hebrew: מְדִינַת הֲלָכָה Medīnat Hălāḵā) refers to a sovereign state that endorses Judaism in an official capacity and governs by Jewish religious law. It has been a subject of discussion among Orthodox Jews, particularly with regard to modern Israel, which, although a Jewish state, is not classified as a theocracy.

2025年第50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
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。 [178]
- 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. [179]
- 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。 [180]
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 本週開始，啟用「增强版语法高亮」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。 [181]
- 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。 [182]
- 本週沒有MediaWiki版本更新。

The Somaliland War of Independence was a rebellion waged by the Somali National Movement (SNM) against the ruling military junta in Somalia led by General Siad Barre lasting from its founding on 6 April 1981 and ended on 18 May 1991 when the SNM declared what was then northern Somalia independent as the Republic of Somaliland. The conflict served as the main theater of the larger Somali Rebellion that started in 1978. The conflict was in response to the harsh policies enacted by the Barre regime against the main clan family in Somaliland, the Isaaq, including a declaration of economic warfare on the clan-family. These harsh policies were put into effect shortly after the conclusion of the disastrous Ogaden War in 1978.

Pietro Lauro, conosciuto anche come Pietro Lauro Modonese o Pietro Lauro da Modona (Modena o dintorni, 1510 circa – Venezia, 1568 circa) è stato un traduttore, scrittore e divulgatore scientifico italiano. Nonostante non si conosca gran parte della sua biografia, fu uno dei poligrafi italiani più conosciuti del Cinquecento. La sua produzione raccoglie traduzioni dal latino, dal greco e dallo spagnolo e riguardano opere di autori classici, stranieri e protestanti. Lauro si dimostrò abile nel trattare testi con temi molto diversi, come la filosofia, l'architettura, la medicina, il giardinaggio, l'agronomia, le scienze biologiche, la storia, la teologia e l'astronomia. Si cimentò anche nella scrittura di un poema cavalleresco sullo stile di quelli spagnoli, il Polendo, sua magnum opus in questo senso.
Aderente alla Riforma protestante, sebbene le sue trasposizioni siano state oggetto di critiche già degli autori a lui contemporanei, che le giudicarono troppo letterali, rozze e imparziali, a Lauro si deve il merito di aver ultimato la traduzione in lingua volgare di numerosi testi sia classici, sia scientifici, sia epistolari. I suoi lavori ebbero una notevole diffusione, non solo tra i letterati veneziani della sua epoca, ma in tutta Italia, tanto che alcune sue traduzioni vengono ancora oggi ristampate in nuove edizioni.

Please be bold and help translate this article!
Il volto di Palazzo Vecchio (conosciuto anche come L'importuno o L'inopportuno) è un incisione su pietraforte attibuita a Michelangelo Buonarroti, scolpita in una delle pietre di Palazzo Vecchio a Firenze.
Secondo le varie leggende, il profilo sarebbe stato realizzato come graffito dall'artista toscano, con soggetto un suo importunatore, un debitore, un condannato a morte o se stesso. Nel 2020, gli studiosi hanno ipotizzato possa invece trattarsi di un ritratto di Francesco Granacci, pittore amico di Michelangelo.

Please be bold and help translate this article!
Raffaello Kobayashi, nato Raffaele Sanzio (Bari, 14 gennaio 1917 – Yokohama, 1 aprile 2011), è stato un militare italiano naturalizzato giapponese.
Sommergibilista durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, prestò servizio per tutte e tre le principali Potenze dell'Asse: Regno d'Italia, Germania nazista e Impero giapponese. Alla fine della guerra si nascose in Giappone per evitare di subire l'internamento in un campo di prigionia, divenendo poi cittadino nipponico e cambiando il proprio nome.
Prese parte all'affondamento della HMS Calypso nel 1940, primo successo italiano in campo navale nel corso del conflitto mondiale. Con l'abbattimento di un bombardiere statunitense il 22 agosto 1945, otto giorni dopo il discorso di resa del Giappone alle potenze alleate della seconda guerra mondiale, a bordo del Comandante Cappellini, sarebbe stata l'ultima persona in assoluto a mettere fuori combattimento un velivolo degli Alleati nella stessa guerra.

2026年第5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
- 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. [201]
- 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。 [202]
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 thecreateaccountandautocreateaccountactions. As part of this change, the variableaccountnamehas been renamed toaccount_name, andaccountnameis now deprecated. Edit filter managers should update any filters that use hardcoded account type checks or the deprecated variable. [203] - 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. - 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

2026年第7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
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。 [207]
- 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。 [208]
- 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。 [209][210]
- 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。 [211] - 已新建兩個維基：
- 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。 [214]
- 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。 [215]

Events
- Upcoming events: Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group session 17 February, 2026: We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Session on Tuesday, February 17 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 will walk participants through how to resolve the former issue, while the March 3rd session will focus on the latter.

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。 [216]
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。 [217]
- 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：

Please be bold and help translate this article!
L'elefante di Cremona (Asia, prima del 1228 - Parma, gennaio 1248) fu un esemplare di elefante donato nel 1228 a Federico II di Svevia da parte del sultano ayyubide al-Malik al-Kamil durante gli incontri che porteranno alla Pace di Giaffa. Usato principalmente per le manifestazioni trionfali del sovrano, l'elefante è citato da numerosi cronachisti e testimoni dell'epoca ed è noto per aver trainato il Carroccio dopo la grande vittoria delle armate di Federico II nella battaglia di Cortenuova del 1237. Rimasto a lungo nell'immaginario popolare collettivo, l'animale venne ucciso durante alcuni scontri occorsi nelle settimane immediatamente precedenti alla battaglia di Parma.

[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
- 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。 [222]
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。 [223]
- 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。 [224][225]
- 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。 [226]

The Treaty of the Danish West Indies (Danish: Vestindiens traktat), officially the Convention between the United States and Denmark for cession of the Danish West Indies (Danish: Konventionen mellem USA og Danmark), was a 1916 treaty transferring sovereignty of the Danish West Indies from Denmark to the United States in exchange for a sum of US$25,000,000 in gold ($722 million in 2024) and a declaration from the United States that it would "not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland". It is one of the most recent permanent expansions of United States territory.

- 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!

- 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。 [228]
- 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。 [229]
- 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。 [230]
- 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）。 [231][232] - 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。 [233]
- 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。 [234]
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。 [235]
- 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。

[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Steens Mountain is a large fault-block mountain in the northwest United States, located in Harney County, Oregon. Stretching some fifty miles (80 km) north to south, on its east side it rises from the Alvord Desert at an elevation of about 4,200 feet (1,280 m) to 9,738 feet (2,968 m) at the summit. Steens Mountain is not part of a mountain range but is properly a single mountain, the largest of Oregon's fault-block mountains.

2026年第11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。 [236]
- 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。 [237]
- 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。 [238]
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。

A casque is an anatomical feature found in some species of birds, reptiles, and amphibians. In birds, it is an enlargement of the bones of the upper mandible or the skull, either on the front of the face, the top of the head, or both. The casque has been hypothesized to serve as a visual cue to a bird's sex, state of maturity, or social status; as reinforcement to the beak's structure; or as a resonance chamber, enhancing calls.

2026年第12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譯版本。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 2024年11月，增强版语法高亮（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。 [239]
- 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. [240]
- 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. [241]
- 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'. [242]
- 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。 [243]
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 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. [244]
- 一段時間以來，對於啟用「增强版语法高亮」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。 [245]
- 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。 [246] - 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。 [247]

[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Etruscan sculpture was one of the most important artistic expressions of the Etruscan people, who inhabited the regions of Northern Italy and Central Italy between about the 9th century BC and the 1st century BC. Etruscan art was largely a derivation of Greek art, although developed with many characteristics of its own. Given the almost total lack of Etruscan written documents, a problem compounded by the paucity of information on their language—still largely undeciphered—it is in their art that the keys to the reconstruction of their history are to be found, although Greek and Roman chronicles are also of great help. Like its culture in general, Etruscan sculpture has many obscure aspects for scholars, being the subject of controversy and forcing them to propose their interpretations always tentatively, but the consensus is that it was part of the most important and original legacy of Italian art and even contributed significantly to the initial formation of the artistic traditions of ancient Rome.

2026年第13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。 [248]
- 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。 [249]
- 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。 [250]
- 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。 [251]
- 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。 [252][253]
- 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。
