2025年第10期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 所有已登入编辑者现在皆可在手机版网站编辑整个页面。在工具列上的“更多”选单中点击“编辑整页”即可。先前编辑者须启用高级模式才能使用这项功能。 [7]
- 请界面管理员协助移除本地
MediaWiki:Common.css中带有“ mw-ref”的已弃用Cite CSS码。此全域搜寻列出了需清理的维基站点以及需移除的代码，另可参考此范例。参阅CSS迁移项目页面进一步了解如何提供协助。Cite脚注标记（“[1]”）现在由Parsoid渲染，不再需要上述的已弃用CSS。反向链接的CSS（“mw:referencedBy”）目前应维持不变。这项清理作业应不会给读者带来明显变化。请在3月20日前协助移除这些代码，若未及时处理，之后将由开发团队代为移除。 - 现在，若在受连锁保护的页面加入文件（例如
[[File:MediaWiki.png]]），系统将不再限制对文件描述页面的编辑，而仅限制文件新版本的上传。反之，若嵌入文件描述页面（例如{{:File:MediaWiki.png}}），对描述页面的编辑将受连锁保护限制。 [8][9] - 编辑者若想要将文件还原至较早版本，现在需要与上传文件新版本相同的权限。系统现在会检查“覆盖现存文件
(reupload)”或“覆盖自己上传的文件(reupload-own)”权限，并遵守连锁保护。 [10][11] - 现在，管理员在使用Special:Nuke工具列出待删除页面时，可以选择同时列出相关的讨论页和重定向页面，而无需事后再手动处理。 [12]
- 前几期提到单一用户登录（SUL）系统为配合浏览器对跨网域Cookie的限制，登入和账号建立页面将移至中央网域——这项更新将于3、4月向所有用户推出。团队计划于本周为Group0站点上的所有新账号建立流程应用这项更新。参阅SUL3项目页面了解最新时间表和更多细节。
- 自上周以来，部分界面图示在页面尚未加载完全时，错误显示为黑色方块（深色模式中则为白色）。本周将修正此问题。 [13]
- 已新建一个维基： 锡尔赫特语维基百科 (
w:syl:) [14] - 上周有23件社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，之前老旧版本的手机版Firefox浏览器无法正常加载图片，现已修正此问题。 [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.
(Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

2025年第12期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- 每年春秋分前后，维基媒体基金会的网站可靠性工程团队例行执行资料中心服务器切换，将所有流量从主要服务器导向备用服务器。这个半年一次的程序确保了我们在面临危机时，可以随时使用备援资料中心。多亏了Listen to Wikipedia工具，您可以实际听到切换的过程：开始之前，您会听到源源不绝的编辑声音；然后，当系统进入短暂的只读阶段时，声音会停止数分钟，切换完成后才会恢复。更多关于此次切换的背景和细节，请参阅Diff文章。如果您想聆听即将到来的服务器切换，请于3月19日 14:00 UTC收听各维基的声音。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 经改良的内容翻译工具面板现已供10个维基百科使用，并即将在所有维基百科推出。有了统一的面板，桌面装置使用者现在可以翻译条目章节；探索并存取以主题为基础的条目建议筛选器（起初仅限移动设备）；从维基专题和编辑活动中探索并存取社群定义的清单筛选器，也称为“收藏集”（Collections）。
- 维基共享资源引入新的档案分类选择系统：如果某分类含有一个或多个子分类，点击箭头即可在表单中展开子分类清单，以便选取正确分类。父分类名称会持续显示在顶部，可随时返回父分类。这应该可以减少志愿者修复/建立新分类的工作量。这项变更同样适用于移动设备。这些变更是上传向导改进计划的一部分。
- 社群技术团队正在征求维基社群参与试用多重封锁功能以及更新后的Special:Block页面，预定3月底进行。多重封锁可让管理员同时对同一使用者施加多种不同类型的封锁。如果您是管理员或监管员，并希望我们与您的社群讨论参与试行的事宜，请在专案讨论页留言。
- 3月25日开始，编辑团队将在12个维基百科站点测试编辑检查的新功能：多重检查。在这些维基中，一半的新手在编辑时会看到所有参考检查，而另一半则如同往常只看到一个。此测试旨在观察编辑者在单一编辑阶段中看到多个（且相关的）参考检查时，是否会感到困惑或气馁。在这些维基中，有显示参考检查的编辑所使用的标签将被简化，因为一笔编辑中可能会显示多个标签。Phabricator工单记录了变更的标签。 [18]
- 全域提醒机器人是一项通知使用者其临时权限即将到期的服务，现已支援在讯息标题中使用权限群组的本地化名称。请翻译人员参阅说明文件和现有译文清单，检查其语言是否需要更新或新增译文。
- Special:GlobalPreferences中的性别设定——用来设定软件在界面讯息中应该如何称呼您——现在可以如预期般覆写本地预设值。 [19]
- 上周有26件社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，Android版维基百科App修正了使用者以多种语言浏览和搜寻时发生的错误。 [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]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- 维基媒体基金会正在征求您对下年度目标与关键结果（OKR）草案的反馈意见，这些OKR将影响基金会的下一个财政年度（从7月开始）的产品与技术优先事项。“目标”是广泛的高层次领域，而“关键成果”则是追踪目标成功与否的可衡量方式。请在讨论页分享您的意见，语言不限，最好在4月底之前提出。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- CampaignEvents扩充功能将于2025年4月部署至多个维基（详情请见部署计划），团队已开始与确定部署的维基社群接触。该扩充功能提供了在维基上筹办、管理和推广协作活动（如Event活动、编辑松、维基专题）的工具。该扩充功能有三个工具：活动报名、协作清单和邀请清单。该扩充功能目前已部署至13个维基百科（包括中文、英语、法语、西班牙语等），以及维基数据。若有任何问题或请求，请至扩充功能讨论页或Phabricator（加上
#campaigns-product-team标签）。 - 3月31日当周开始，维基站点将能够自行设定哪些使用者群组可以在活动报名功能中检视非公开报名者，这是CampaignEvents扩充功能的一部分。预设情况下，活动筹办人员和本地管理员将能够检视非公开报名者。这改变了目前的行为，即只有活动筹办人员才能检视非公开报名者。维基社群在Phabricator请求变更配置（加上
#campaigns-product-team标签）来变更预设配置。过往活动的参与者可随时取消报名。 - 有自订
MediaWiki:Sidebar的维基的管理员应检查其之中是否列有特殊页面项目。若没有，管理员应使用 * specialpages-url|specialpages来加入该项目。带有预设侧边栏的维基将在4月看到该链接从工具栏移至侧边栏。 [21] - Minerva外观（手机版网站）将重要通知和常规通知整合进一个铃铛图示
中。Minerva长期存在一个错误，仅在有未读“重要通知”时才会显示新通知标示。现已修正此问题。未来在Minerva中，无论您有未读的重要通知或常规通知，铃铛图示上方皆会显示未读通知数量。 [22] - 上周有23件社群提交的工单得到解决。
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 视觉化编辑器引入了新的用户端勾点，供开发者在整合视觉化编辑器目标生命周期时使用。该勾点应该会取代现有的生命周期相关勾点，并且在不同平台之间更加一致。此外，新的勾点也将适用于全文编辑以外的视觉化编辑，让小工具也能与讨论工具（DiscussionTools）中的编辑器互动。编辑团队打算弃用并最终移除旧的生命周期勾点，因此团队很关注任何新勾点未涵盖的用例，如有相关资讯，欢迎在工单中与团队分享。
- 使用
mw.Api这一JavaScript函式库的开发者，现在可以使用userAgent参数来识别使用该函式库的工具：var api = new mw.Api( { userAgent: 'GadgetNameHere/1.0.1' } );。如果您有在维护小工具或使用者脚本，请务必设置使用者代理（user agent），这将有助于函式库和服务器的维护，以及区分合法与非法的流量。 [23][24] - 本周稍晚代码更新细节： 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.

- 3月31日开始，MediaWiki界面团队将开始限量发布已生成的OpenAPI规格，以及以SwaggerUI为基础的MediaWiki REST API沙盒体验。团队邀请来自特定非英语维基百科社群（中文、阿拉伯语、德语、法语、希伯来语、国际语、荷兰语）的开发者，以他们的偏好语言审阅说明文件并试用沙盒。除此之外，沙盒与OpenAPI规格也将在测试维基的REST沙盒特殊页面上提供给偏好使用英语的开发者。在预览期间，MediaWiki界面团队也邀请开发者分享您的体验。预览期约为两周，之后沙盒和OpenAPI规格将提供给所有维基站点使用。
- 本周稍晚代码更新细节： MediaWiki
深入了解
- 有时，一行小小的程式码变更，却有着重大的意义：这项变更意味着多年来，我们第一次能够从单一座核心资料中心执行所有提供给
maps.wikimedia.org（专门为维基媒体站点提供多语言地图的主机）的堆叠，我们每次执行资料中心切换时都会进行这项测试。这项进展非常重要，因为它确保即使其中一座资料中心发生意外，我们仍能持续提供网站服务。这项变更归功于两位开发人员的大量工作，他们将地图堆叠的最后一个组件移植到Kubernetes，我们在那里能更有效率地分配资源，从而使单一资料中心能承受更多流量。这项工作涉及许多复杂步骤，因为这个软件及其所使用的软件函式库需要许多逾期已久的升级。这类工作让维基媒体的基础架构更具永续性。
会议与活动
- 2025年5月14日至16日，2025年春季MediaWiki使用者与开发者研讨会将于美国桑达斯基举行，并同时线上举行。研讨会将围绕不同产业公司使用MediaWiki软件的情况进行讨论，并鼓励及吸引新使用者。活动报名及演讲报名现已开始，可前往研讨会网站报名。

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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- 本周稍晚，预设的缩图尺寸将从220px增至250px。这将改变所有维基页面的显示方式。部分社群多年来一直要求更改预设缩图尺寸，但过去因技术限制而未能实现。 [26]
- 档案缩图现在以特定尺寸储存。如果页面指定的缩图尺寸不在标准尺寸（20、40、60、120、250、330、500、960）之列，那么MediaWiki将会选择最接近的较大缩图尺寸，但会请浏览器将其缩小到所要求的尺寸。这在视觉上不会有任何变化，但使用者可能会载入稍大一点的图片。在页面中使用缩图时，如果缩图尺寸不是很重要，请选择其中一种标准尺寸，以避免额外的浏览器缩小步骤。 [27][28]
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 维基媒体基金会正在开发名为Edge Uniques的系统，该系统可用于实现A/B测试，帮助抵御DDoS攻击，并让我们更容易了解维基媒体网站的访客数量。有了Edge Uniques，基金会可以更有效率地打造能帮助读者的工具，让读者更容易找到他们要找的东西。
- 为了提升使用者安全性，现在有一小部分的登入尝试将需要输入一次性密码，该密码将以电子邮件寄送。请检查您的账号是否设有有效的电子邮件地址，且该地址已被系统确认。 [29]
- “您有没有兴趣参加一个简短的调查，以改善您的维基上的巡查和回退工具？”这个问题将从下周开始在7个维基的近期变更和监视清单页面上向使用者提出。内容维护工具团队想更了解那些：检视维基媒体专案的新编辑，并判断这些编辑是否遵守专案方针的工作。
- 4月15日，
query.wikidata.org将不再支援完整的维基数据图表。该日之后，学术文章将可透过 query-scholarly.wikidata.org取得，而维基数据上托管的其他资料则可透过 query.wikidata.org端点取得。这是预定的维基数据图表拆分计划的一部分，该计划于2024年9月公布。详情请见维基数据页面。 - 季刊维基媒体App电子报新期数发布。内容涵盖了维基百科移动应用程序的更新、实验与改进。
- 上周有30件社群提交的工单得到解决。

[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 自4月15日起，维基函数已与达戈姆巴语维基百科整合。这是第一个能够从维基函数呼叫函数并在条目中使用的专案。函数能接受一个或多个输入，并将其转换成预期的输出，例如：相加两数、换算单位、计算时间跨度或转换大小写。有了维基函数，使用者只需呼叫一个稳定的全域函数即可达成目的，无需使用本地模板。 [30]
- 新增了一种lint错误：空标题（说明文件）。Linter扩充功能旨在找出页面中需要或可以修正的wikitext语句，并提供指引，说明这些语句的问题以及如何修正。 [31]
- 上周有37件社群提交的工单得到解决。
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 继在HuggingFace上发布之后，由维基媒体企业服务（Wikimedia Enterprise）开发的“Structured Contents”资料集现在也可在Kaggle上取用。这项Beta计划着重于让维基媒体资料更易于机器读取，以供大量重复使用。这次，他们在开放资料集社群已在使用的平台上发布这个测试版，以寻求回馈，帮助改善产品，利于将来的广泛发布。参阅更多关于整个Structured Contents专案，以及第一个可自由使用的版本。
- 本周没有MediaWiki版本更新。
会议与活动
- 编辑团队与机器学习团队邀请有兴趣的志愿者参加视讯会议，讨论最新的编辑检查：华辞检查。华辞检查可在编辑者键入文字时侦测“华而不实”、“过度宣传”或“非中立”的语句。我们鼓励经常接触新手的编辑者、协助修正此类文字的编辑者，或对我们在专案中使用AI的方式感兴趣的编辑者参加。会议将于2025年4月28日 18:00-19:00 UTC在Zoom上举行（查看您的当地时间）。

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-21
[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.

本周要闻
- 编辑团队和机器学习团队正在开发一项面向新手的检查：华辞检查。这项检查利用预测模型和AI，鼓励编辑者改善其编辑的语调。团队邀请志愿者参与审查下列语言的华辞模型的初版：阿拉伯语、西班牙语、葡萄牙语、英语和日语。如果您来自上述维基并有兴趣参与审查该模型，欢迎至MediaWiki.org报名参加。报名截止日期为5月23日，当天亦为测试开始日。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 2025年5月20日开始，监督员和用户查核员必须用双重验证（2FA）保护其账号，才能使用其高级权限。所有属于这两个群组但未启用2FA的使用者都已收到通知。未来这项要求可能会扩大到其他高级权限群组。阅读完整公告。
本月底，多重封锁将开始大规模部署至多个维基：5月26日当周将部署至所有非维基百科专案以及加泰罗尼亚语维基百科；6月2日当周将部署至所有其他维基百科。如有任何疑虑，请联络团队。管理员现在可以在本地浏览Special:Block?usecodex=1来测试新UI，或是在测试维基测试完整功能。多重封锁可让管理员同时对同一使用者施加多种不同类型的封锁。详情请参阅说明页面。 [33]- 本周稍晚，列出几乎所有特殊页面的Special:SpecialPages将更新整体设计。经过重新设计后，该特殊页面在数个方面改善了使用者体验，包括：名称与别名搜寻功能、排序功能、更明显的“受限特殊页面”标示，以及更适合移动设备的外观。您现在可以在Beta Cluster预览新版本，并在Phab工单分享反馈意见。 [34]
- 更多维基现已可以使用Chart扩充功能。详细部署资讯请参阅部署时间表。
- 5月27日，维基函数将部署至5个维基词典：豪萨语、伊博语、孟加拉语、马拉雅拉姆语和迪维希语。这是维基函数的第二批部署。部署完成后，这些专案将能够从维基函数呼叫函数，并在页面中使用。函数能接受一个或多个输入，并将其转换成预期的输出，例如：相加两数、换算单位、计算时间跨度或转换大小写。有了维基函数，使用者只需呼叫一个稳定的全域函数即可达成目的，无需使用本地模板。
- 本周稍晚，维基媒体基金会将发布一个实验中心，用于展示和获得使用者对产品实验的反馈。这些实验协助维基媒体运动了解新使用者、他们如何与网络互动，以及他们如何影响维基媒体运动。一些实验例子包括生成影片、维基百科Roblox速通游戏和Discord机器人。
- 上周有29件社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如：使用API建立账号时会遇到一些问题，现已得到修复。 [35]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 部分与Special:Block互动的小工具与脚本需要更新才能与新的管理封锁界面互动。请查阅开发者手册以了解更多资讯。如果您需要任何协助或您的脚本无法与新的界面互动，请在此讨论页留言让技术团队知道。 [36]
- Lua的
mw.title物件可用来取得特定维基页面的资讯。本周开始，该物件将新增名为isDisambiguationPage的属性，可用来检查页面是否为消歧义页面。 [37] 
脚本开发者可以使用新的反向代理工具来透过mw.loader.load从gitlab.wikimedia.org载入JavaScript和CSS。工具的作者希望这个工具能实现脚本的协同开发工作流程，包括gitlab.wikimedia.org上的linting、单元测试、代码生成和代码审查，而无需另外将脚本复制贴上到维基媒体维基上以进行整合和验收测试。详情请参阅Wikitech上的 Tool:Gitlab-content。- 本周软件更新细节： 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.

+选单下使用更多工具。新选单初步将包含下列选项：参考文献、象形文字和程式码区块。其余维基预定于6月进行部署。 -
#ifexist解析器函数将不再暂存其目标页面的连结。先前，Special:WantedPages会计入该函数的目标页面，而无法发挥其真正效用。这项变更将提高Special:WantedPages的实用性，其最终目标为只列出实际的红色连结所指向的页面。这项变更会随着来源页面的更新而逐渐发生。 [38] - 本周，内容维护工具团队将推出新的近期变更筛选器，从印尼语维基百科开始。这个新的筛选器会醒目标示可能会被回退的编辑。该筛选器旨在帮助近期变更巡查员识别可能有问题的编辑。该筛选器将于日后部署至其他维基。
- 点击空白搜寻列后，未登入使用者将会看到延伸阅读条目建议。这项功能将同时在桌面版与行动版推出。加泰兰语、希伯来语、意大利语维基百科及部分其他专案的读者将于5月21日至6月中旬之间获得这项变更。其他维基的读者将稍后才会获得这项变更。这项功能旨在鼓励使用者多阅读维基。了解更多。

2025年第23期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- Chart扩充功能现在可以在所有维基媒体维基上使用。编辑者可以使用这个新的扩充功能来建立互动式的视觉化资料，例如柱状图、折线图、面积图和圆饼图。Chart图表旨在取代旧版Graph图表扩充功能的许多用途。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 管理员现在可以更容易地在本地维基中，为视觉化编辑器的引用产生器配置自动引用功能。管理员现在可以在本地的
MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json页面中，使用 _default键来设定预设模板（差异范例）。设定此预设值有助于将来新增项目类型时，确保现有配置不会过时。您仍可以为个别项目类型设定模板，这些模板会优先于预设模板。 [40] - 上周有20件社群提交的工单得到解决。
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 6月2日当周开始，以
action=login或action=clientlogin登入的机器人将更常登入失败。这是因为我们增强了针对可疑登入行为的防护措施。使用机器人密码或者使用免登入验证方法（如OAuth）的机器人不受影响。如果您的机器人并非上句所述类型，请更新您的机器人；使用action=login且没有机器人密码的方法已于2016年弃用。这项变更对大多数机器人而言，仅需变更其所使用的密码即可。 [41] - 本周开始，维基媒体维基将可以使用JavaScript ES2017功能，无论是在MediaWiki内部、小工具或个人脚本中。ES2017的一大特色是让程式码更易读的
async/await语法。本周以前，平台仅允许使用ES2016以下的功能，而数月前，仅允许使用ES2015以下的功能。 [42] - 本周软件更新细节： MediaWiki
会议与活动
- 2025年馆联维基媒体会议现正开放奖助金申请。会议将于10月30日至11月1日在葡萄牙里斯本举行。无法负担参与费用的馆联人可考虑申请奖助金，申请开放至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.

- 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]
- 由于软件更新以及为了符合最新的Unicode标准，有几个页面需要重新命名。所有这些变更都与标题大小写变更有关。横跨15个维基站点，大约有71个页面和3个档案将被重新命名；参见Phab工单中的完整清单。开发人员将于下周重新命名这些页面，并在几分钟后透过系统设定更新来修复重新导向和嵌入档案连结。
- 上周有24件社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，先前使用者选取靠近顶端的文字时，一个错误会导致页面向上卷动，此问题现已修正。 [53]

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)

Development
- Wikibase REST API: We started work on the simple Property prefix search phab:(T397838)
- Mobile statement editing: We continued the work on the basics with viewing of statements (phab:T394886])
- 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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 编辑者现在可以启用使用者资讯卡功能。此功能可在页面修订纪录、使用者贡献日志等类似页面中的使用者名称旁新增一个图示。当用鼠标或触控萤幕按一下图示后，它会显示该使用者账号的相关资料，例如编辑次数、被回退编辑数、被封锁次数等。这是一个更广泛专案的一部分，旨在让网站维护者能更容易评估账号的可信度。此功能现可在全域偏好设定中启用，本周稍晚将可在本地偏好设定中启用。 [70]
- 欢迎任何人就Connection团队最近启动的“协作贡献”专案发表意见。该专案旨在创造一种新的方式来展示协作编辑活动（如编辑松、积压消化作业、维基专题）对维基的影响。请在此讨论页发表您的意见。 [71]
- 管理员现在可以定义临时账号的预设封锁时长。为此，管理员需要建立
MediaWiki:Ipb-default-expiry-temporary-account页面，并使用MediaWiki:Ipboptions中定义的值。这让管理员可以轻易将临时账号封锁90天，由于临时账号的活动效期同为90天，这类封锁实质等同于无限期封锁。此解决方案的优点是让Special:BlockList中不会堆满永封临时账号。参见说明文件。 [72] - 上周有27件社群提交的工单得到解决。
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 小工具现在可以包含
.vue档案。这让使用Vue.js开发现代UI变得更容易，尤其是使用维基媒体官方设计系统Codex。Codex图示集可以透过小工具定义载入。参见说明文件中的范例。对于使用Vue.js的脚本，现在有一个API模组可以用于载入Codex图示集。 [73][74] - 模组开发者现在可以使用一个Lua界面来简化在元维基上翻译Lua模组的准备工作。这项改进使翻译人员能够更容易找到和编辑模组中的字串，而无需处理Lua源代码。这有助于避免翻译过程中出差错，导致模组损坏。欢迎模组开发者和翻译人员观看示范影片，阅读更多关于可翻译模组的资讯以了解其运作方式，参考元维基的Module:User Wikimedia project作为使用范例，并对于如何解决工作流程中的挑战分享意见回馈。该界面仍有一些效能问题，因此目前还不适合用于广泛使用的模组。 [75]
- 与维基媒体网页连接的外部工具的开发者，请务必设定符合使用者代理方针的使用者代理。由于外部爬虫过度使用维基媒体资源，该方针将于8月开始严格执行。托管在维基媒体Toolforge或Cloud VPS上的工具暂时不会受此影响，但仍应设定使用者代理。在工单参阅更多技术细节，欢迎在工单中提出相关问题。
- 继维基导游和维基词典成功转换成Parsoid阅读视图之后，未来几周内，Parsoid阅读视图将在一些小型维基百科推出。参阅Parsoid/解析器统一了解更多。 [76]
- 本周软件更新细节： MediaWiki
会议与活动
- 2025年维基媒体国际会议将于8月6日至9日举行。议程现已公布，供您参考规划想参加的会议。大多数会议将进行直播，但显示“无摄影机”图示的会议除外。如果您想在线上观看直播并使用互动功能，请报名获取免费虚拟门票。 您可能会对以下技术会议感兴趣：

2025年第33期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 2010年版wikitext编辑器的工具按钮的提示现在会包含快捷键，让使用者更容易发现这些快捷键。 [77]
- 产品与技术咨询委员会发布了一系列实验方案，供维基媒体基金会尝试以改善与社群的沟通。欢迎于8月22日前在此讨论页对这些方案给予意见回馈。
- Minerva外观（手机版网页）的搜寻栏已更新，改为使用与Vector 2022相同的Type-ahead搜寻元件。搜寻功能并未改变，仅在视觉上有些许变化。具体来说，搜寻栏的关闭按钮已从叉号
改为返回箭头 
，并改动了按钮位置，避免与用于清除文字的另一个叉号按钮混淆。 [78] - 部分维基百科的编辑者将在监视清单、相关变更和近期变更页面上看到新的“按页面分组结果”开关。这是一项A/B实验，计划于8月11日开始，在中文、孟加拉语、捷克语、法语、希腊语、葡萄牙语、乌尔都语维基百科上进行3至6周。实验旨在探讨让这项既有功能更容易被发现，会如何影响编辑者在这些特殊页面中寻找编辑的能力。 [79]
- 上周有31件由社群提交的工单得到解决。
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 多个维基的Module:Unicode data皆有的相同资料集已移至维基共享资源（Category:Unicode Module Datasets），以遵循“一个共同资料来源，多个本地维基”的理念。大多数维基已更新为使用共享资源资料的版本。若有问题请在讨论页提出。 [80]
- 在Lua中，模组编者可以用
mw.addWarning()函数，让模组在发生错误时新增警告。先前，新的警告会取代旧的警告。现在，您可以多次呼叫该函数来新增多个警告。如果您有在维护使用警告的Lua模组，请检查它是否仍然如预期运作。 [81] - 本周软件更新细节： 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.

- 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.

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.

本周要闻
- 编辑团队正在开发一项新检查：贴上检查（Paste check）。这项检查会提醒将文字贴入维基百科的新手编者，其内容可能不被接受。这项检查旨在确保使用者在维基百科添加的内容符合维基媒体运动的承诺——基于自由内容授权提供资讯。这项检查即将在数个维基站点进行测试。若您的社群有兴趣参与测试，请在此工单中告知我们，或直接联络团队。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 本周稍晚，启用“增强版语法高亮”测试功能的使用者将能使用lint工具，实时检查wikitext中的错误或其他潜在问题。参阅说明页面。 [110]
- 浏览维基站点（如
en.wikipedia.org）时，系统会以两种方式回应：显示桌面版网页，或转址至“m”开头网域的行动版网页（如en.m.wikipedia.org）。未来三周内，MediaWiki将开始在标准网域上直接向移动设备显示行动版网页，不再进行转址。此变更不会影响现存的m.开头网址或“桌面版检视”选项。了解更多。 [111] - 现在，当编辑操作更改了页面的分类时，分类成员数量的更新会以异步方式进行。此变更可提升编辑储存速度——尤其是在将多个页面移入或移出同一分类时——并降低网站当机风险，但这也意味着分类数量可能会短暂显示过时资讯。 [112]
- 现在，对维基数据项目声明中的限定符（属性和值）和参考资料（属性和值）所做的编辑，不会出现在其他维基站点的近期变更和监视清单页面中。这是一项临时变更，旨在提升效能，待其他解决方案存在后将恢复原状。维基数据自身页面则维持不变。了解更多。 [113][114]
- 日语维基站点的搜寻文字解析功能获重大更新，引入了Sudachi分词器，应能提供更准确、更相关的搜寻结果。 [115]

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.

- Showcase Lexemes:blow (L4476) - English verb (bloʊ) meaning "to push air", "to explode", or "to perform fellatio"
Development
- Scalability/sustainability: We have rolled out changes to minimize the number of entries stored in the recent changes tables of Wikipedia and co that are edits coming from Wikidata. This also reduces the number of changes from Wikidata you will see showing up in Recent changes and watchlist on Wikipedia and co further.
- MCP for Wikidata: We are getting it ready for first testing.
- Dumps: We are continuing to investigate how to provide smaller/subset dumps.
- Mobile statement editing: We are continuing the work on making statements editable, especially qualifiers and multiple references.
- Anubis (Q134301689) anti-bot software was deployed on Wikibase Cloud and XTools to prevent site outages caused by bot traffic. (T399851, T400229)

2025年第38期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 现在，当读者选用Vector 2022的“标准”字号与页面宽度设定时，使用
<references/>标签建立的参考资料清单将自动以分栏形式显示。 [116] - 自10月6日当周起，在启用CampaignEvents扩充功能的中、小型维基上，所有自动确认使用者皆可作为活动筹办人员使用活动报名功能。除非透过Phabricator提出请求，大型维基将维持现状。此变更旨在让更多人能更容易使用活动报名功能，特别是在较少制定活动筹办人员权限相关方针的维基上。了解更多。
- 站内搜寻的Regex功能更新，新增以下功能：
- 过去，当在站内搜寻看似IP地址的字串时，系统会跳转至该IP的贡献纪录。现在，系统会正常显示搜寻结果。 [119]
- 9月24日，所有维基媒体网站将进入只读状态几分钟，预定于15:00 UTC开始。这是半年一次的资料中心服务器切换备份测试。更多关于此次切换的背景和细节，请参阅Diff文章。
- 上周有24件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，先前编辑章节时，从wikitext切换到视觉化编辑器会造成其他内容被移除，此问题现已修正。 [120]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- MediaWiki界面团队正在运用Codex重新设计Wikimedia REST API沙盒。若您对API文件的改进方向，或让开发者体验变得顺畅（或令人沮丧）的因素有任何意见回馈，诚挚邀请您参与即将举行的探索访谈，或在维基内留下意见。了解更多。
- 现在，对维基数据别名（项目或属性的替代名称）的编辑，将较少出现在其他维基站点的近期变更和监视清单页面中，从而减少不必要的通知。此举将降低这些页面整体中的“噪声”数量。维基数据自身页面则维持不变。了解更多。 [121]
- Unicode 17.0发布，供Module:Unicode data使用的共享资源资料集已随之更新。未使用共享资源资料集的维基百科站点，应自行更新本地资料或改用共享资源资料集。
- 维基媒体企业服务的结构化内容（Structured Contents）端点的使用者现可存取已解析表格（Parsed Tables）。此新功能可撷取维基百科表格内容，并以结构化JSON格式呈现。作为结构化内容计划的一环，这提升了机器可读性。结构化内容输出可透过随选API或维基媒体云端服务自由取得。
- 维基媒体企业服务的英语维基百科人物传记资料集已在Kaggle平台发布，供评估与研究使用。此资料集提供逾150万篇传记的结构化数据，涵盖出生与逝世日期、教育背景、所属组织、职业经历、获奖纪录等资讯（截取自2024年6月快照）。
- 本周软件更新细节： MediaWiki
会议与活动
- 在法国巴黎举行的2026年维基媒体国际会议现正开放奖助金申请，至10月31日截止。

2025年第39期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- 9月24日 15:00 UTC，所有维基媒体网站使用者将经历短暂的只读状态，此为预定的资料中心服务器切换作业所致。维基媒体基金会的网站可靠性工程团队将把所有流量从主要服务器导向至备援服务器。您可透过“聆听维基百科”工具实际听到切换过程：在只读阶段，您将听到编辑操作暂停数分钟，随后恢复正常。这个半年一次的资料中心服务器切换作业，旨在透过测试备援资料中心来确保可靠性，让我们的网站即使在主要资料中心故障时仍能持续运作。更多详情请参阅Diff文章。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 不久后，60个维基词典的编辑者将能够呼叫维基函数的函数，并在页面中使用。函数能接受一个或多个输入，并将其转换成预期的输出，例如：相加两数、换算单位、计算时间跨度或转换大小写。加上先前完成部署的65个维基词典语言版本，目前共有125个维基词典站点可以从维基函数呼叫函数并在页面中嵌入使用。今年稍晚，我们计划进一步扩展至更多维基词典语言版本及维基孵育场。
- 新增了一个解析器函数：
{{#contentmodel}}。模板编辑者与管理员可运用此函数取得特定页面的内容模型的本地名称或标准名称。此函数能让管理员等更容易建立和编辑系统讯息（如MediaWiki:editinginterface），即使在切换不同页面内容模型（如wikitext、JavaScript、CSS、JSON）时亦然。 [122] - 先前，在视觉化编辑器中新增或修改
DISPLAYTITLE时会发生错误，现已修正此问题。此工单列出了可能受影响且可能需要清理的页面清单。 - Android版维基百科APP的Beta使用者现在可以试用重新设计过的“活动”标签页，取代旧有的“编辑”标签页。新设计的标签页为使用者提供其阅读、编辑、捐款活动的个人化洞察，同时简化导览流程，让应用程序的使用体验更具吸引力。

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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- 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]
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 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] - 已新建一个维基： 马来语维基语录 (
q:ms:) [126] - 上周有21件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，使用者资讯卡现在会显示生效中的全域锁定和全域封锁。 [127]

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.

2025年第41期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- 贴上检查（Paste check）是新的编辑检查功能，旨在避免并对抗侵权著作权的行为。当编辑者将文字贴入条目时，贴上检查会提示其确认内容的来源与授权方式。自10月8日（三）起，22个维基站点将测试此功能。贴上检查将协助新手志愿者理解并遵循必要的方针与指引，从而为维基百科专案作出建设性贡献。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 移动设备将直接透过标准网域（如
en.wikipedia.org）接收行动版条目，而非转址至“m”网域（如en.m.wikipedia.org）。此变更可提升效能。本周，各个维基百科站点将启用此变更。既有的行动版网址及“桌面版检视”选项仍可使用。了解更多。 [128] - 维基搜索引擎新增两项日期筛选器：
creationdate:、lasteditdate:。使用者可借此依据页面首次或最后修订日期来筛选搜寻结果。这些筛选器支援比较运算子（如>2024）与相对日期（如today-1d），让使用者更容易查找于特定时间范围内更新的内容或页面。 [129] - 在已启用维基函数功能的150个维基站点中，现在支援嵌入呼叫富文本。为展示此功能，团队制作了一张拉丁语变格表，供维基词典编辑者自动生成名词形式，产出清晰且格式化的结果——参见范例输出。如需协助或有任何意见回馈，请联系维基函数团队。 [130]
- 现在，已登入使用者可在条目页面的分类框内见到编辑连结，点击后将直接开启视觉化编辑器的分类对话框。 [131]
- 上周有34件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，上周PDF下载功能曾发生问题，此问题现已解决。 [132]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 修订版本资料表中的
rev_sha1栏位将被移除，并由内容资料表中的content_sha1栏位取代。详情请参阅公告。 - 2025年10月29日，读者体验团队将在所有维基媒体网站推出深色模式UI。所有维基媒体网站的未登入使用者皆可启用黑底白字的配色方案。此设计旨在提供更舒适的阅读体验，尤其适用于低光环境。诚挚邀请模板编者与技术贡献者于启用前，学习如何使页面支援深色模式，并解决模板可能出现的相容性问题。启用前若有任何疑问或需要支援，请透过此讨论页联系网页团队。 [133]
- 10月6日（一）开始，位于
rest.php路径下的API端点将重新路由至新的内部API闸道。个别维基站点将依据标准MediaWiki版本更新分组进行更新，整体流量将随时间逐步提升。此变更应为非中断更新。若发现任何问题，请至Phabricator提交工单至服务运营团队看板。 [134] - 本周软件更新细节： MediaWiki

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.

本周要闻
- 上周，所有维基站点已启用账号安全与双重验证（2FA）功能的改进措施。这些变更包括：Special:AccountSecurity界面优化，支援透过Authenticator应用程序与便携式安全金钥实现多种双重验证方式（先前仅限启用单一方式），以及新的“恢复代码模组”，此模组可减少因遗失双重验证应用程序或装置而导致账号锁定的状况。作为账号安全专案的一部分，我们将在2025年结束前持续推进使用者体验改进工作，并新增支援以通行金钥作为双重验证方式。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 账号安全专案的另一项目标，是将双重验证功能全面开放给所有使用者。不计已可启用双重验证的高级权限编辑者（如管理员与行政员），现在有40%的编辑者可启用双重验证。您可至Special:AccountSecurity页面确认自己可否使用双重验证功能，若可以，点击该区块任一按钮可进一步查看验证步骤。若经评估确认使用者支援系统足以支撑全球范围的使用，我们将持续扩大此功能的开放范围。 [135]
- 本周，在预设启用讨论页可用性改进的维基站点（即除了T379264列出的12个站点之外的所有站点），使用者将能够在讨论页中直接对个别留言表达“感谢”。在此之前，使用者只能在讨论页的修订纪录中传送“感谢”。 了解更多。 [136]
- 尚未验证电子邮件地址的使用者，将陆续收到每月发送的验证提醒通知。完成电子邮件验证的使用者能更容易恢复账号，因此我们建议使用者完成电子邮件验证。若使用者处于非活跃状态，或从账号中移除未验证的电子邮件地址，则不会收到此类提醒。 [137][138]
- 上周有21件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，内容翻译工具曾偶尔出现翻译段落储存错误，此问题现已解决，相关错误讯息也更容易被察觉。 [139]

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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- iOS版维基百科APP现已在部分语言及地区开始一项关于“标签页”功能的A/B/C测试。这项测试名为“更多动态标签页”，旨在探索标签页浏览体验的可能性，现正计划加入“你知道吗”和“因为您阅读了”标签页，客制化提供文章建议。详见专案页面。
- 现在，在启用CampaignEvents扩充功能的中、小型维基上，自动确认使用者无需拥有活动筹办人员权限即可使用活动报名功能。该功能让活动筹办人员能启用报名机制、管理参与者，并简化使用者报名程序，仅需透过点击按钮即可完成，无需于活动页面手动签署报名。
- 上周有31件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，之前在Vector 2022的深色模式设定界面中，按住或按下方向键时会闪烁色彩，现已修正此问题。 [143]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 2025年11月17日当周，CampaignEvents扩充功能将部署至所有尚未部署的维基。该扩充功能目前有三项功能：活动报名、协作清单和邀请名单。本次部署中，除非有关社群提出请求，否则邀请清单功能将不会在维基函数和MediaWiki.org启用。详见部署页面。
- 基于SwaggerUI的REST沙盒现已在所有维基专案上线。您可至Special:RestSandbox页面使用该沙盒。若遇任何问题，请至Phabricator的MediaWiki界面团队看板回报，或参与专案启动页面列出的相关讨论。 [144]
- MediaWiki REST API中，路径带有结尾斜线（trailing slash）的转换端点现已标记为“已弃用”。这些端点目前仍可正常运作，但预计将于2026 年1月底前移除。建议所有目前呼叫这些端点的API使用者转用无结尾斜线版本。两种端点变体皆可透过REST沙盒进行查找与测试。关于API弃用方针与流程，请参阅MediaWiki REST API的弃用。
- MediaWiki REST API现设有专属更新日志。该更新日志提供变更概览，方便开发者追踪各项改进和迭代。相关公告仍将透过技术新闻与电子邮件清单等标准通讯管道发布，但更新日志将成为一个更便于引用的中央位置。若您对更新日志的风格、结构或内容有任何意见，欢迎参与讨论。
- JsonConfig扩充功能已不再使用，但由该扩充功能建立的追踪分类依然残留。管理员现可删除这些追踪分类，具体清单参见Q130635582。由于快取因素，这些分类可能会显示有页面残留。编辑页面会清除该页面的快取，而当快取被清除后，这些页面会自动从分类中消失。 [145]

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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- Special:MergeHistory获更新，大幅提升了合并功能的灵活性，以便管理员使用。该特殊页面现在能够从来源页面历史的中段提取段落进行合并，而不仅限于从开头提取；同时，它也能将修订版本插入目标页面历史中的任意位置，而不仅限于插入开头。 [146]
- 现在，对于在偏好设定中启用“自动订阅话题”功能的使用者，无论其透过何种编辑界面来新增或回复话题，系统皆会自动为其订阅该话题。先前，仅当使用讨论工具（DiscussionTools）的“添加话题”或“回复”按钮时才会触发自动订阅。讨论工具最初推出时，既有账号并未预设启用自动订阅话题功能，因此本次变更主要影响较新账号，以及曾主动更改偏好设定的使用者。 [147]
- Scribunto模组现在能够生成SVG图像。此功能能透过Lua来动态建立图表、图形及其他视觉化内容，减少外部制图后上传档案的需求。 [148]
- 维基媒体网站现在为所有匿名使用者提供启用深色模式（黑底白字配色方案）的选项。这项改进旨在提供更舒适的阅读体验，尤其是在光线昏暗的环境下。 [149]
- 存有庞大监视清单的使用者长期以来在编辑Special:EditWatchlist页面时遭遇逾时（timeout）问题。如今透过分页（paging）机制更新，该页面将分批载入项目，而非一次性载入全部内容，使所有使用者皆能顺畅编辑监视清单。作为数据库更新的一部分，我们移除了按到期时间排序的功能，因其速度比按标题排序慢100倍以上。我们提交了一件社群愿望，探讨恢复按到期时间排序功能的替代方案。若该功能对您至关重要，敬请投票支持该愿望！ [150]
- 上周有31件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，之前在视觉化编辑器的“寻找与取代”功能中，即使修改寻找栏位的文字，页面中原先的文字仍持续高亮显示，此问题现已修正。 [151]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 自2019年起，维基媒体缩网址服务（网址：https://w.wiki）开放所有维基媒体维基站点使用，可为条目、永久连结、差异页面等内容建立短网址。该功能可透过侧边栏的“获取短链接”连结存取。目前仍有30个维基站点同时安装旧版“ShortUrl”扩充功能。旧版扩充功能即将移除，意味着
/s/短网址（以带有class="title-shortlink"的标签包裹）将不再直接显示于条目标题下方。但/s/短网址将持续正常运作。 [152] - 10月30日（四），MediaWiki界面团队与SRE服务运营团队开始将Action API流量重新路由至共同API闸道。各维基站点将依据标准MediaWiki版本更新分组进行更新，整体流量将随时间逐步提升。此变更应为非中断更新。若发现任何问题，请至Phabricator的服务运营团队看板提交工单。
- MediaWiki部署列车将于2025年最后两周（12月22日、29日）暂停。向后移植窗口亦将于2025年12月22日（一）至2026年1月2日（四）期间暂停。向后移植窗口系指预定执行错误修正与配置变更等作业的时段。2025年尚余七次列车部署作业。 [153]
- 本周软件更新细节： MediaWiki
深入了解
- 维基媒体基金会指出，由于AI系统与搜索引擎频繁引用维基百科内容，却未能将使用者导向该网站，导致2025年真人浏览量较2024年下降8%。在观察到机器人伪装成真人的现象后，维基媒体更新了流量数据以反映此变化。关于维基百科当前使用者趋势，请参阅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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 11月12日开始，部分维基百科的讨论页外观将变更为新设计。几乎所有维基已采用新设计；英语维基百科将稍后获得更新。详见Diff文章。使用者可以在偏好设定中的“显示讨论活动”选项停用此变更。 [154]
- MediaWiki现可于页面受保护时自动显示页面状态指示器（顶部图示）。此功能预设停用，可透过社群请求启用。 [155]
- 现在，使用wikitext编辑器的“显示预览”或“显示更改”按钮时，特定URL参数（如useskin、uselang、section）将会保留。此次更新同时修正了以下问题：之前，若浏览器在预览单一章节编辑时崩溃，储存该编辑可能导致整页内容被该章节内容覆写。 [156][157][158]
- 维基导游站点可在条目内文使用彩色地图标记。此类标记的文字将改以对比鲜明的黑色或白色显示，不再始终显示为白色。针对此问题的本地暂时解方现可移除。 [159]
- Android版维基百科APP的“活动”标签页现已开放所有使用者使用。此新标签页为使用者提供阅读、编辑、捐款活动的个人化洞察，同时简化导览流程，让应用程序的使用体验更具吸引力。 [160]
- 读者成长团队（Reader Growth）正计划推出名为“图片浏览”（Image browsing）的实验，旨在测试如何让读者更轻松地浏览与探索维基百科条目中的图片。此实验为A/B测试，仅限移动设备，将于11月17日当周在英语维基百科上线，为期四周，影响该站0.05%的使用者。这项测试已于11月3日在中文、阿拉伯语、法语、印尼语和越南语维基百科推出，影响这些站点中至多10%的使用者。 [161]
- 上周有27件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，前阵子监管员无法在移动设备网站锁定账号，此问题现已修正。 [162]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- Wikitech正在进行Toolforge标准委员会的新委员提名。委员会职责包括监督Toolforge的分叉权方针和遗弃工具方针等。提名持续开放至11月28日。
- SUL维基站点的OAuth 2存取凭证中，JWT核发者栏位
iss已变更为https://meta.wikimedia.org。旧版存取凭证仍可正常使用。 [163] - OAuth 2存取凭证中的JWT使用者栏位
sub即将从<user id>变更为mw:<identity type>:<user id>，其中<identity type>通常为CentralAuth:（适用于SUL维基站点）或local:<wiki id>（适用于其他维基）。此变更旨在避免不同使用者ID类型间的冲突，并使OAuth 2存取凭证与sessionJwtcookie格式更趋一致。旧版存取凭证仍可正常使用。 [164] - MediaWiki的封锁讯息（blockedtext、blockedtext-partial、autoblockedtext、systemblockedtext、blockedtext-tempuser、autoblockedtext-tempuser）新增参数，用以标示使用者是否被禁止编辑自己的使用者讨论页（$9）或寄送电子邮件给其他使用者（MediaWiki:Blockedtext0）。 [165]
- 我们已在Wikimedia git仓库中为MediaWiki核心和各扩充功能与外观皮肤建立
REL1_45分支。此为MediaWiki 1.45.0版本发布流程的第一步，该版本预计于今年11月下旬推出。若您正在修复关键错误或开发新功能，请留意此变更。 [166] - 由于效能下降，我们更新了CirrusSearch转储档的生成流程。若您在改用新转储时遇到任何问题，请联系搜寻平台团队（Search Platform）寻求支援。 [167][168]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2025-48
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 上周，维基媒体搜寻团队在服务器端重新实现了希伯来语和俄语维基百科的“DWIM”小工具功能（DWIM＝Do What I Mean，照我的意思做）。DWIM小工具让使用者即使误切输入法，也能在搜寻建议中找到原本打算输入的字。例如，在俄语维基百科搜寻“cxfcnmt”，搜寻建议中会出现“счастье”。团队预计于本周在其他希伯来语和俄语站点启用此功能。 [170]
- 本周稍晚，启用“增强版语法高亮”测试功能的使用者，将能在讨论工具（DiscussionTools）中使用语法高亮功能。使用者需要同时启用“在源代码模式下启用编辑工具”选项以使用上述功能。 [171]
- CampaignEvents扩充功能——这套用于协调活动及其他维基内协作的工具组，现已部署至所有维基媒体站点。新功能协作贡献可让活动筹办人员与参与者检视活动成效。欢迎参加即将举行的学习课程，亲身体验新功能并提供您的意见回馈。
- 上周有24件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，先前CodeReviewBot无法正常运作，现已修正此问题。 [172]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 邀请维基媒体API使用者参与可用性研究，协助验证Wikimedia REST API沙盒的新设计。有兴趣的参与者请填写招募问卷。 [173]
- MediaWiki界面团队正着手弃用Action API中的XSLT样式表。今年11月底，对
format=xml&xlst={stylesheet}的支援将从维基媒体专案中移除。此外，MediaWiki的1.43（LTS）、1.44、1.45版本也将预设停用该功能。MediaWiki 1.46版本（预计于2026年4月至5月间发布）将全面移除对XSLT样式表的支援。 [174] - WDQS旧版端点（query-legacy-full.wikidata.org）将于今年12月底停止运作，并于2026年1月7日正式关闭。该日之后，若使用者未改用SPARQL联合查询，则向query.wikidata.org发出的full图谱查询请求将失败或传回无效结果。团队建议使用者确保工具和工作流程改用受支援的WDQS端点（主图谱：https://query.wikidata.org/或学术图谱：https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org/）。关于迁移和替代存取方式，详见资料存取与请求查询页面。

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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 继上周的部署后，“新增链接”功能将于12月9日起扩大部署至另外33个维基百科语言版本。该功能让编辑者能在编辑过程中加入建议连结。本次扩大部署得益于全新预测模型，该模型现已支援所有语言，包含先前未涵盖的语言。尽管此功能已在大多数维基百科版本运行一段时间，本次部署将使我们更接近全面采用改良版模型的目标。如有任何疑问或想了解更多详情，请联系Trizek (WMF)。
- 上周，搜寻平台团队为格鲁吉亚语维基百科新增了即时转写搜寻建议功能。若搜寻拉丁字母或西里尔字母仅出现少许常规搜寻建议，搜寻文字会转换为格鲁吉亚字母来寻找更多结果。例如，在搜寻栏输入“bedniereba”或“бедниереба”，搜寻建议中会出现现存条目“ბედნიერება”（“幸福”）。若有其他语言需要这类有关转写或错误键盘／输入法的搜寻建议功能，请在Phabricator提出建议，供未来开发参考。
- 本周稍晚，我们将针对前100大维基百科版本的编辑者，在行动版网页视觉化编辑器中展开一项对照实验。其中50%的编辑者将会看到新增的“编辑完整页面”按钮，此功能可让编辑范围扩展至整页内容。此设计旨在让行动版网页使用者更容易编辑任何条目章节，无须受限于最初点击的章节编辑图示。此实验将持续约4周。详见工单。
- 本周稍晚，读者成长团队将进行一项行动版网页实验，预设展开所有条目章节（现行预设为折叠），并将使用者目前阅读的章节标题固定于页面顶端。此实验将影响中文、阿拉伯语、法语、印尼语、越南语维基百科中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]
- 上周有23件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，先前从Microsoft Edge网址栏复制URL再贴到某些维基编辑器中，会错误贴上网页标题而非URL，现已修正此问题。 [180]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 本周开始，启用“增强版语法高亮”测试功能的使用者，其Lua、JavaScript、CSS、JSON、Vue内容模型的编辑器将从CodeEditor改为CodeMirror。此变更将同步升级linter。我们计划逐步取代CodeEditor并提供一致的程式码编辑体验。 [181]
- 邀请开发者填写2025年开发者满意度调查，开放填写至2026年1月5日。如果您为维基媒体生态系统开发软件，并乐意分享经验或提供意见回馈，我们诚挚欢迎您参与调查。 [182]
- 本周没有MediaWiki版本更新。

,_1980s.jpg)
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.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2026-04
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
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.

[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 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]
- 上周有20件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，双重验证（2FA）管理页面上的双重验证方法说明已更新。现在说明文字更清晰易懂，使用者能更容易理解并运用相关功能。 [202]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 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. - 本周软件更新细节： MediaWiki

2026年第7期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
监视清单中存有大量页面的编辑者现可用新功能“监视清单标签”※来整理与筛选监视清单，帮助优化工作流程。透过新增自订标签（如：自己建立的页面、需监控破坏行为的页面、讨论页），使用者能更快速辨识需关注的编辑，降低认知负荷，并更有效率地应对。此功能让监视清单更容易使用，对活跃编辑者尤为助益。（※＝Watchlist labels，勿与编辑标签“tag”混淆）- Special:Contributions推出新功能，可显示很可能由同一人操作的临时账号，从而减少巡查耗时。当查核临时账号的贡献时，具有临时账号IP地址存取权限的使用者，现在能查看其他相关临时账号的贡献。此功能会在资料保留期间内，查询与特定临时账号关联的所有IP地址，并显示曾使用这些IP地址的所有临时账号的贡献纪录。了解更多。 [207]
- 预览wikitext编辑时，顶部显示的提醒框（“这只是预览……”）背景色已由警告黄底改为中性灰底。此变更有助于区分预览提示与实际警告讯息（如编辑冲突或重定向目标错误），后者现改以独立的警告框或错误框呈现。 [208]
- 全域监视清单让使用者能够在一个页面检视多个维基站点的监视清单。此扩充功能目前正持续改进，现已完整支援多个Wikibase站点，例如同时涵盖维基数据与测试版维基数据。此外，已修正右至左（RTL）文字显示问题。 [209][210]
- 因缺乏弹性且难以本地化，wikitext中为ISBN、RFC、PMID编号自动生成连结的“魔术连结”功能已于2021年弃用。RFC与PMID魔术连结能以等效外部链接取代（部分维基站点已完成替换），但ISBN魔术连结通常需要模板才能完成替换。现已推出内建解析器函数
{{#isbn}}，可取代ISBN魔术连结的基本功能，方便完成替换作业。 [211] - 已新建两个维基：
- 上周有23件由社群提交的工单得到解决。
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 新增了一个全域使用者群组：局域机器人。此群组将由软件内部使用，允许社群机器人绕过针对恶意网页抓取工具所施加的速率限制。凡在至少一个维基媒体站点获准为机器人的账号，将自动加入此群组。此举不会改变机器人原有的使用者权限。 [214]
- 本周软件更新细节： MediaWiki
会议与活动
- 2026年春季MediaWiki使用者与开发者大会将于3月25日至27日在美国盐湖城举行。本活动由第三方MediaWiki社群主办，并面向该社群。您可以提出议程并报名参加。 [215]

[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- SRE团队将对维基媒体托管的Etherpad实例进行清理作业。Etherpad是一款网页式即时协作文件编辑器。所有Pad文件将于2026年4月30日后永久删除，若届时仍有进行中的迁移专案，团队可视个别情况重新评估日期。资料删除后无法复原，请务必为希望保留的内容建立本地备份。本次清理旨在缩减数据库规模并降低基础设施占用资源。Etherpad将持续支援即时协作功能，但请勿将其视为长期储存服务。未来可能再次进行清理作业，届时恕不另行通知。 [216]
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 资讯检索团队将在Android版维基百科APP展开实验，测试能够同时处理语义查询与关键字查询的混合搜寻功能。这项改进将使读者更容易直接在维基百科上找到所需内容。实验将于2月下旬首先在希腊语维基百科上线，随后于3月在英语、法语、葡萄牙语推出。更多详情请参阅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，网站公告（MediaWiki:Sitenotice和MediaWiki:Anonnotice）只会在桌面版显示。现在，这些公告将显示在所有平台。行动版网页使用者将能看见这些公告并获取相关资讯。管理员应准备测试并修正网站公告在移动设备上的显示情况，以避免影响条目阅读体验。若需停用此变更，界面管理员可在MediaWiki:Minerva.css中加入样式规则：
#siteNotice { display: none; }。 [218][219] - 上周有19件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，先前在Special:RecentChanges中，点击筛选器的“隐藏”会导致“查看……之后的新更改”按钮消失，但该按钮理应保持可见状态。现已修正此问题，按钮功能恢复正常运作。 [220]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 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.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2026-09
[编辑]The winner this Translation of the week is
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.

2026年第9期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- 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]
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 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]
- 本周稍晚，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中的界面提示，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。
- 上周有21件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 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]

_(14596880870).jpg)
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.

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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- 维基百科25周年生日模式现已在中文、布列塔尼语、印尼语、西西里语、西班牙语、贝塔维语、法语、科隆达罗语、英语、泰语、马都拉语、捷克语、荷兰语、越南语、意大利语及卢森堡语维基百科上线！此限时活动为庆祝维基百科成立25周年，特别推出生日吉祥物“拼图球宝宝”（Baby Globe）。启用生日模式后，拼图球宝宝将出现在约2500篇条目中，静待读者发现。要在本地维基启用生日模式，管理员可在社群取得共识后启用此功能，亦可在社群配置功能中进行自订。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 子引用功能已在瑞典语、波兰语维基百科及其他数个维基站点推出，此新功能可在重复使用参考资料时能修改部分细节。您可在上述站点、测试维基或Beta维基来试用此功能。首个试行站点——德语维基百科的实施经验已汇整成报告发布。若您的社群有意参与试行，请联系德国维基媒体协会团队。
- 本周，贴上检查（Paste check）功能将在所有维基百科站点上线。此功能针对使用视觉化编辑器的新编者，当他们将由他人撰写的内容贴入条目时，此功能会提示其思考此举是否可能侵犯著作权。凡触发此功能的编辑内容，系统皆会标上标签供其他编者审核。本地管理员可透过Special:EditChecks页面设定此功能的各项参数。横跨22个维基站点的研究显示，相较于对照组，贴上检查功能使编辑回退率减少了18%。诚挚邀请翻译者协助本地化此功能及相关功能。
- 阅读体验团队将为所有行动版使用者统一右上角的使用者选单，使其更贴近桌面版的使用体验。目前此选单仅对启用行动版进阶模式（AMC）的使用者显示。本次变更后，未启用AMC的使用者将有若干按钮从左侧选单移至右上角。此变更旨在改善UI，预计于3月9日推出。 [228]
- 自3月2日当周起，当账号新增、移除或变更电子邮件地址时，系统发送的通知邮件将由原先的纯文字格式，更改为更美观清晰的HTML格式电子邮件。 [229]
- 目前，每位使用者的通知匣最多可储存2000笔纪录，可追溯至2013年该功能推出之初。这将调整为仅储存近五年内的通知记录，但数量上限提升至1万笔。此变更有助于基础设施的长期稳定运行，并避免近期通知过早消失。 [230]
- 全域监视清单可在同一页面显示来自多个维基站点的监视清单。此扩充功能目前正持续改进，最新改进了维基数据项目标签的使用体验。现在，全域监视清单为维基数据等站点启用了语言备援系统，若维基数据项目缺少使用者检视语言的标签，将以备援语言或使用者偏好的维基数据语言显示这些标签（若提供
uselang=URL参数则以该语言为检视语言）。 [231][232] - 维基百科Android团队已在希腊语维基百科启动混合搜寻功能的Beta测试。混合搜寻功能可同时处理语义查询与关键字查询，让读者能更容易直接在维基百科上找到所需内容。
- 出于安全考量，位于特定使用者群组的使用者将必须启用双重认证（2FA）。当前，只有在使用相关权限时才会检查并要求启用2FA，而单纯位于相关使用者群组内则不需要。考量到即便如此依然可能存在安全漏洞，基金会自三月起将逐步改变现状。处于这些使用者群组的使用者只要还拥有相关使用者群组身份便不能从自己的账号中移除全部的2FA方式，同时有权者亦无法将没有启用2FA的使用者加入到这些群组中。只要账号中至少还留有一个2FA方式，这些使用者依然可以自由添加和移除额外的2FA方式。目前决定以下使用者群组将受到新规则的限制：CentralNotice administrators、使用者查核员、界面管理员、监督员、Wikidata staff、Wikifunctions staff、WMF Office IT和WMF Trust & Safety。其他使用者不受影响。关于新规定生效的时程详见连结的工单。 [233]
- 上周有27件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，先前有个问题导致使用者无法在Wikibase.cloud建立实例，现已修正此问题。 [234]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 为确保基础设施的合理使用，维基媒体基金会将于未来一个月内对所有API全面实施速率限制。3月初，针对并非来自Toolforge/
WMCS且未经身份验证的请求，以及透过网页浏览器发出的API请求，将实施更严格的流量限制。4月起，已验证流量将适用较高限额。此限额刻意设定得尽可能高，以尽量减少对社群的影响。目前在Toolforge/ WMCS运行的机器人和拥有站内机器人权限的机器人应不受影响。不过，我们建议所有开发者遵循最新的最佳实践。详情请参阅维基媒体API/速率限制。（WMCS＝Wikimedia Cloud Services） - 维基数据查询服务的链接资料片段（LDF）端点将于2月停止运作。此端点原本服务流量有限，现已成功迁移至其他更适合支援现有用例的资料存取方式。原本用于支援LDF端点的硬件设备将重新分配，以支援进行中的后端迁移工作。 [235]
- 新版解析器Parsoid正持续部署至更多维基站点，这不仅能提升平台永续性，亦有助于导入新的阅读与编辑功能。目前Parsoid已成为488个维基媒体站点（含268个维基百科站点）的预设解析器，涵盖超过10%的维基百科页面浏览量。
- 维基媒体企业服务API高流量资料源的特殊存取权限申请流程与标准现已正式发布（符合维基媒体使命的用例可免费取得）。此举旨在为使用者提供更详尽清晰的说明文件。
- Tech Blog，这个专为维基媒体技术社群设立的部落格，预计将迁移至社群新闻与活动部落格——Diff。迁移作业预计于2026年4月完成，之后将开放刊登新文章。读者可在入口页面浏览所有新旧文章。

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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
本周要闻
- 3月25日，所有维基媒体站点将进入只读状态几分钟，预定于15:00 UTC开始。这是资料中心服务器切换备份测试的必要程序，每年执行两次。切换作业期间，所有维基媒体网站流量将从主要资料中心转移至备援资料中心，以测试系统可用性，并确保即使面临突发状况，服务依然能维持不中断。
- 上周，所有维基媒体站点进入了为期2小时的只读状态，且使用者脚本与小工具功能在当日间暂时停用。此情况源于一件安全事故，目前已获解决。相关团队正在研拟防范措施，以避免类似问题再度发生。最新资讯请参阅监管员布告板的公告（翻译版本）。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 在移动设备上遭遇多重封锁的使用者，现在将能分别查看每项封锁的具体原因，而非笼统的提示讯息。这将有助于使用者理解封锁原因及可采取的解决措施。例如，因使用常见VPN（如iCloud私密转送）而受影响的使用者，将获得更清晰的指引，说明如何恢复编辑功能。 [236]
- 本周稍晚，建议模式将作为测试功能在所有维基百科的视觉化编辑器中上线。此功能会主动建议使用者可执行的各种编辑操作，以改善维基百科条目，同时协助使用者了解相关指引。此功能支援本地配置，亦可自订“建议”项目来扩充此功能。现行设定可在Special:EditChecks页面查看，该页亦提供管理员操作指引，来设定“建议”中的连结应该指向哪个本地指引。此功能与编辑检查功能连动，能在使用者撰写新内容时提供改进建议。编辑团队未来将透过控制实验评估此功能对新使用者的影响。 [237]
- 上周有23件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，之前使用CodeMirror的语法高亮功能（此功能可让wikitext与代码更易于阅读）时，游标位置可能会出现错位，现已修正此问题。这个问题特别影响到在个人CSS中自订字型，并使用讨论工具（DiscussionTools）建立新话题的使用者。 [238]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 【API速率限制更新】为确保基础设施的合理使用，本周起将对以下请求实施全面API速率限制：并非来自Toolforge/
WMCS且未使用合规使用者代理的请求；来自网页浏览器且未经身份验证的请求。4月起，已验证流量将适用较高限额。目前在Toolforge/ WMCS运行的机器人和拥有站内机器人权限的机器人应不受影响。不过，我们建议所有开发者遵循最新的最佳实践。详情请参阅维基媒体API/速率限制。（WMCS＝Wikimedia Cloud Services） - 新的GraphQL API现已发布。此API旨在成为维基数据查询服务（WDQS）特定功能的弹性替代方案，以期提升开发者体验、促进适应性，并实现高效数据存取。欢迎试用并提供意见回馈，您亦可报名参与可用性测试。
- 遗弃工具支援工作组（PTAC Unsupported Tools Working Group）于2月持续改进Video2Commons，解决了验证错误、大型档案处理等问题，同时提升了任务伫列可见度，并使上传行为更明确。部分工作仍在进行中，包括与已弃用服务器端上传相关的变更。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期技术新闻
[编辑]维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 2024年11月，增强版语法高亮（亦称为CodeMirror 6）以测试功能推出，用于wikitext的语法高亮显示。此功能预计将于2026年5月正式推出，向所有使用该功能的编辑者提供改进与新功能。若您对此功能的正式推出有任何疑问或顾虑，敬请提出。 [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]
- 维基函数的复合语言（composition language）已重新编写。此次重写旨在透过降低协调器的记忆体消耗，来提升服务的稳定性。此次重写还带来了显著的延迟降低、代码简化以及更好的抽象化，为日后的功能扩展奠定基础。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]
- 上周有28件由社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，之前维基共享资源的上传向导出现异常，无法从Flickr汇入档案，现已修正此问题。 [243]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 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]
- 一段时间以来，对于启用“增强版语法高亮”测试功能的使用者，在编辑JavaScript、CSS、JSON、Vue、Lua内容页面时，编辑器已改用CodeMirror取代CodeEditor进行语法高亮。随着CodeMirror 6的正式推出，我们预计于2026年5月以CodeMirror取代CodeEditor，作为这些内容模型的标准编辑器。欢迎提出意见或疑虑。 [245]
- CodeMirror的JavaScript模组即将升级至CodeMirror 6。在此次升级之前，在小工具和使用者脚本中载入
ext.CodeMirror或ext.CodeMirror.lib模组的方法已于2025年7月标为弃用。此外，ext.CodeMirror.switch钩子的使用亦已于2025年3月标为弃用。贡献者现在可以修改脚本或小工具，使其与CodeMirror 6相容。详情请参阅迁移指南。 [246] - MediaWiki界面团队正在扩大REST API模组的定义范围，将“扩充功能API”纳入其中。REST API模组是由一系列相关端点组成的群组，可独立进行管理与版本控制。目前已为GrowthExperiments和维基函数API建立模组。随着我们将“扩充功能API”迁移至此架构中，相关文件将从MediaWiki OpenAPI主要规格及REST沙盒检视中移出，改为透过REST沙盒（即Special:RestSandbox，所有维基专案皆可使用）下拉选单中的模组专属选项存取。
- Scribunto扩充功能透过mw.site函式库，为模组提供维基站点的各项资讯。自上周起，该函式库亦提供了一种存取维基站点ID的方式，可用于简化跨维基模组的维护工作。 [247]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2026-13
[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.
