Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The seventh Wikidata Working Hour will cover the Author Disambiguator tool, which helps users assign authors to articles.During the session we will demonstrate how to use the tool on an author who was created during a previous working hour, and another who doesn't exist in Wikidata yet. After the demonstration, participants are encouraged to try the tool themselves during the rest of the working hour. This session will build on the work done in previous Working Hours by connecting authors to the articles they have written. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page

Rocade de Bordeaux BA ?
modifierBonjour,
À la suite de la fusion des articles A631, A630 et N230, j'ai essayé d'améliorer Rocade de Bordeaux pour en faire un bon article. Ayant plutôt l'habitude de rédiger des articles autour d'univers de fiction, je ne sais pas si le vocabulaire que j'ai employé est correct, ou si mes phrases sont parfaitement compréhensibles. J'ai signalé mon intention d'en faire un BA il y a une semaine mais je n'ai eu aucun retour.
Pour la rédaction et le plan, je me suis inspiré de Boulevard périphérique de Paris qui est un AdQ. J'ai été principalement limité par les sources qui sont moins présentes (notamment pour l'histoire de la rocade), j'ai donc adapté et essayé de faire au mieux. Si tu as le temps de passer jeter un coup d’œil et me dire si tu trouves mon intention prématurée ou pas, ce serait super !
Bonne année ! --CeΔ (discuter) 6 janvier 2024 à 10:27 (CET)

Wikidata weekly summary #611
modifier Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Discussions
- New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)
- Upcoming: The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 17th January 2024 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group.

Changements récents
- Les pages qui utilisent le modèle de contenu JSON utiliseront désormais des tabulations au lieu d’espaces pour l’indentation automatique, ce qui réduira significativement la taille des pages. [28]
- Les gadgets et scripts utilisateur personnels peuvent désormais utiliser la syntaxe JavaScript d’ES6 (aussi appelé « ES2015 ») et d’ES7 (« ES2016 »). MediaWiki doit valider le code source pour protéger les autres fonctionnalités du site contre les erreurs de syntaxe et vérifier que les scripts sont valides dans tous les navigateurs pris en charge. Auparavant, les gadgets pouvaient utiliser l’option
requiresES6. Cette option n’est plus nécessaire et sera donc supprimée à l’avenir. [29] - Les mots de passe des robots et les utilisations d’OAuth pour propriétaire uniquement peuvent désormais être restreints pour n’autoriser la modification que de certaines pages. [30]
- Vous pouvez désormais remercier les robots pour des contributions spécifiques. [31]

Actualités techniques n° 2024-06
modifierDernières nouvelles techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. Veuillez informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Tous les changements ne vous concerneront pas. Des traductions sont disponibles.
Changements récents
- Les pages d'historique du site mobile utilisent désormais le même HTML que les pages d'historique du bureau. Si vous rencontrez des problèmes liés à l'utilisation de l'historique sur mobile, veuillez les signaler sur Phabricator.
- Sur la plupart des wikis, les administrateurs peuvent désormais bloquer les utilisateurs pour des actions spécifiques. Ces actions sont : téléverser des fichiers, créer de nouvelles pages, déplacer (renommer) des pages et envoyer des remerciements. Le but de cette fonctionnalité est de permettre aux administrateurs d'appliquer des blocages adaptés à l'activité des utilisateurs bloqués. En savoir plus sur les "blocages d'actions" [44][45]
Changements à venir cette semaine
- La nouvelle version de MediaWiki sera disponible sur les wikis de test et sur MediaWiki.org à partir du 6 février. Elle sera disponible sur les wikis non-Wikipédia et sur certaines Wikipédias à partir du 7 février. Elle sera disponible sur tous les wikis à partir du 8 février (calendrier) [46][47]
- Les liens permanents des pages de discussion qui incluaient des diacritiques et des scripts non latins ne fonctionnaient pas correctement. Ce problème est corrigé. [48]
Changements à venir
- 24 Wikipédias avec Info-bulles de référence en tant que gadget par défaut sont encouragées à supprimer ce marqueur par défaut. Cela ferait des aperçus de références le nouveau paramètre par défaut pour les popups de références, offrant ainsi une expérience plus cohérente à travers les wikis. Pour 46 Wikipedias avec moins de 4 administrateurs d'interface, le changement est déjà prévu pour mi-février, sauf en cas de soucis. L'ancien gadget Info-bulles de référence restera toujours utilisable et remplacera cette fonctionnalité, s'il est disponible sur votre wiki et que vous l'avez activé dans vos paramètres. [49][50]

Changements récents
- L’éditeur visuel sur mobile est maintenant l’éditeur par défaut pour les utilisateurs qui n’ont jamais contribué auparavant, sur un petit groupe de wikis. Des études montrent que les utilisateurs qui utilisent cet éditeur réussissent un peu mieux à publier les modifications qu’ils ont commencées, et un peu moins à publier des modifications qui ne sont pas annulées ensuite. Les utilisateurs qui ont défini l’éditeur de wikicode comme leur éditeur de wikicode par défaut sur ordinateur obtiendront également l’éditeur de wikicode sur mobile pour leur première modification sur mobile. [65]
- La valeur
wgGlobalGroupsde mw.config contient désormais uniquement des groupes actifs du wiki. Les scripts n’ont plus besoin de vérifier si le groupe est actif sur le wiki à l’aide d’une requête auprès de l’API. Voici un exemple de code illustratif :if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups"))). [66]
Changements à venir cette semaine
- La nouvelle version de MediaWiki sera installée sur les wikis de test et sur MediaWiki.org à partir du 27 février. Elle sera installée sur tous les wikis hormis la majorité des Wikipédias le 28 février et enfin sur toutes les Wikipédias restantes le 29 février (calendrier). [67][68]

Tech News: 2024-11
modifierLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar). [75][76]
- After consulting with various communities, the line height of the text on the Minerva skin will be increased to its previous value of 1.65. Different options for typography can also be set using the options in the menu, as needed. [77]
- The active link color in Minerva will be changed to provide more consistency with our other platforms and best practices. [78]
- Structured data on Commons will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost. [79]
Future changes
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [80][81]

Actualités techniques n° 2024-15
modifierDernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique Wikimédia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.
Changements récents
- Les navigateurs web peuvent utiliser des outils appelés « extensions ». Une nouvelle extension a été créé pour Chrome : Citation Needed (« référence nécessaire ») ; elle permet de voir si une affirmation sur le web est traitée dans un article Wikipédia. Il s’agit d’une petite expérimentation pour voir si Wikipédia peut être utilisé de cette manière. En raison du caractère expérimental, l’outil n’est disponible que pour Chrome en anglais.
- Une nouvelle fonctionnalité Récupération des modifications a été ajoutées sur tous les wikis, disponible dans les préférences utilisateur. Une fois activée, vos modifications en cours sont enregistrées dans votre navigateur web : si vous fermez accidentellement un onglet de modification ou le navigateur, ou subissez un plantage de l’ordinateur, il vous sera proposé de récupéré le texte non publié. Vos commentaires sont les bienvenus sur la page de discussion du projet. Il s’agissait du 8e souhait de la consultation 2023 de la communauté.
- Les premiers résultats de l’expérimentation de vérification des modifications ont été publiés. La vérification des modifications est désormais activée par défaut sur les wikis qui l’ont testé. Faites-nous savoir si vous voulez que votre wiki fasse partie du prochain déploiement de la vérification des modifications. [98][99]
- Le lectorat qui utilise l’habillage Minerva sur mobile remarqueront une amélioration de la hauteur de ligne pour les divers paramétrages typographiques. [100]
Changements à venir cette semaine
- La nouvelle version de MediaWiki sera installée sur les wikis de test et sur MediaWiki.org à partir du 9 avril. Elle sera installée sur tous les wikis hormis la majorité des Wikipédias le 10 avril et enfin sur toutes les Wikipédias restantes le 11 avril (calendrier). [101][102]
- Pour les nouveaux comptes et personnes non-connectées, l’éditeur visuel sera désormais activé par défaut sur mobile. Ce déploiement aura lieu pour tous les wikis, à l’exception de la Wikipédia en anglais. [103]

Bonjour,
L’article « Rien » fait l'objet d'un débat d'admissibilité (cf. Wikipédia:Débat d'admissibilité). Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion:Rien/Admissibilité.
Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus sur l'admissibilité de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes. Si vous ne pouvez trouver de telles sources, c’est que l’article n’est probablement pas admissible.
N’oubliez pas que les principes fondateurs de Wikipédia ne garantissent aucun droit à avoir un article sur Wikipédia.

Changements récents
.jpg)
- L'apparence des pages de discussion a changé pour les wikis suivants : Wikipédia en azéri, Wikipédia en bengali, Wikipédia en allemand, Wikipédia en persan, Wikipédia en hébreu, Wikipédia en hindi, Wikipédia en indonésien, Wikipédia en coréen, Wikipédia en néerlandais, Wikipédia en portugais, Wikipédia en roumain, Wikipédia en thaï, Wikipédia en turc, Wikipédia en ukrainien, Wikipédia en vietnamien. Ces wikis ont participé à un test, où 50% des utilisateurs ont obtenu le nouveau design. Comme ce test a donné des résultats positifs, le nouveau design sera déployé par défaut sur ces wikis. Il est possible de refuser ces modifications dans les préférences utilisateur ("Afficher l’activité de la discussion"). Le déploiement aura lieu sur tous les wikis dans les semaines à venir. [115]
- Sept nouveaux wikis ont été créés :
- Vous pouvez désormais suivre des projets ou groupes de messages sur Translatewiki.net. Dans un premier temps, cette fonctionnalité vous informera des messages ajoutés ou supprimés dans ces groupes. [123]
- Le mode sombre est désormais disponible sur tous les wikis, sur le web mobile pour les utilisateurs connectés qui optent pour le mode avancé. Il s'agit de la première version de la fonctionnalité. Les contributeurs techniques sont invités à vérifier les problèmes d’accessibilité sur les wikis. Voir les lignes directrices détaillées.
Problèmes
- Les cartes Kartographer peuvent utiliser un style visuel alternatif sans la nomenclature, en utilisant
mapstyle="osm". Cela ne fonctionnait pas dans les aperçus, créant la fausse impression que ce n'était pas pris en charge. Ceci a maintenant été corrigé. [124]
Changements à venir cette semaine
- La nouvelle version de MediaWiki sera installée sur les wikis de test et sur MediaWiki.org à partir du 30 avril. Elle sera installée sur tous les wikis hormis la majorité des Wikipédia le 1 mai et enfin sur toutes les Wikipédia restantes le 2 mai (calendrier). [125][126]

Changements récents
- L’apparence des pages de discussion a changé pour tous les wikis, excepté pour Commons, Wikidata et la plupart des Wikipédia (certaines sont déjà dotées du nouveau design). Vous pouvez lire les détails de ce changement sur Diff. Il est possible de désactiver ces changements dans les préférences personnelles (« Afficher l’activité de la discussion »). Le déploiement aura lieu sur les wikis restants dans les semaines à venir. [127][128]
- Les administrateurs d'interface disposent désormais d'un plus grand contrôle sur le style des composants d'articles sur mobile grâce à l'introduction de l'extension
SiteAdminHelper. De plus amples informations sur la façon dont les styles peuvent être désactivés sont disponibles sur la page de l'extension. [129] - Wikimedia Enterprise propose maintenant les sections du corps des articles au format JSON, ainsi qu’un champ de description courte et précise en plus des champs extraits de la boite d’infos (infobox). Cette extension de l’API est aussi proposée sur les Services infonuagiques de Wikimedia. [130]
Changements à venir cette semaine
- La nouvelle version de MediaWiki sera installée sur les wikis de test et sur MediaWiki.org à partir du 7 mai. Elle sera installée sur tous les wikis hormis la majorité des Wikipédia le 8 mai et enfin sur toutes les Wikipédia restantes le 9 mai (calendrier). [131][132]
- Lorsque vous regardez la page Spécial:Journal, la vue par défaut est appelée « Tous les journaux publics », mais n’affiche que certains journaux. Cela va donc être renommé en « Principaux journaux publics ». [133]
Futurs changements
- Un nouveau service sera construit pour remplacer l’extension Graph. Les détails sont disponibles dans la dernière mise à jour concernant cette extension.
- À partir du 21 mai, la Wikipédia en anglais et la Wikipédia en allemand pourront activer l’outil « Ajouter un lien ». Cela fait partie du déploiement progressif de cet outil pour toutes les Wikipédia. Ces communautés pourront activer et configurer la fonctionnalité localement. [134]

Other Noteworthy Stuff
- A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool. Some experience with editing Wikidata is appreciated, but no experience working with Schemas is required. If you are interested, you can sign up here. We hope to begin interviews around May 13.

[135] - Si vous utilisez la préférence utilisateur « Utiliser l’aperçu rapide [documentation] », alors la fonctionnalité des pages de modèle « Aperçu de la page avec ce modèle » fonctionnera désormais également sans recharger la page. [136]
- Les cartes Kartographer peuvent maintenant spécifier un texte alternatif via l'attribut
alt=. Ceci est identique à l'utilisation de l'attributalt=dans la syntaxe des images et galeries. Une exception pour cette fonctionnalité concerne les wikis tels que Wikivoyage où les mini-cartes sont interactives. [137] - L'ancienne Visite guidée de la fonctionnalité « Nouveaux filtres pour la révision des modifications » a été supprimée. Elle avait été créée en 2017 pour montrer aux personnes ayant des comptes plus anciens comment l'interface avait changé, et elle a maintenant été vue par la plupart des personnes concernées. [138]
Changements à venir cette semaine
- La nouvelle version de MediaWiki sera installée sur les wikis de test et sur MediaWiki.org à partir du 14 mai. Elle sera installée sur tous les wikis hormis la majorité des Wikipédia le 15 mai et enfin sur toutes les Wikipédia restantes le 16 mai (calendrier). [139][140]
- La page des résultats de la recherche Spécial:Recherche utilisera désormais les attributs CSS flex, pour une meilleure accessibilité, au lieu d'un tableau. Si vous avez un gadget ou un script qui ajuste les résultats de la recherche, vous devriez adapter votre script à la nouvelle structure HTML. [141]
Futurs changements
- Avec l’habillage Vector 2022, les pages de l’espace principal seront affichées en pleine largeur (comme pages spéciales). L’objectif est de maintenir un nombre de caractères par ligne suffisamment important. Ceci est lié aux prochains changements de typographie dans Vector 2022. En savoir plus. [142]
- Deux colonnes de la table de base de données
pagelinks(pl_namespaceetpl_title) seront bientôt supprimées. Les utilisateurs doivent utiliser deux colonnes de la nouvelle tablelinktarget(lt_namespaceetlt_title) à la place. Dans vos requêtes SQL existantes :- remplacez
JOIN pagelinksparJOIN linktargetetpl_parlt_dans la clauseON; - puis ajoutez
JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id.
- Voir phab:T222224 pour les raisons techniques. [143][144]

[146][147]
Changements à venir cette semaine

- Le HTML utilisé pour afficher tous les titres est en train d'être modifié pour améliorer l'accessibilité. Il changera le 22 mai sur certains habillages (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgie et Monobook). Vous pouvez tester les gadgets sur votre wiki avec ces habillages et signaler tout problème lié afin qu'ils puissent être résolus avant que ce changement ne soit apporté à tous les autres habillages. Les développeurs envisagent également d'introduire une API de gadget pour ajouter des boutons aux titres de section si cela peut être utile aux créateurs d'outils, et apprécieraient tout avis que vous pourriez avoir à ce sujet.

- Wikidata to split as sheer volume of information overloads infrastructure, by Bluerasberry. "The split will create a WikiCite graph separate from the main Wikidata graph.

- Camillo Carlo Pellizzari di San Girolamo, Storia della collaborazione tra Wikidata e le biblioteche della Rete URBE nel controllo di autorità. Abstract: "The contribution draws a history of the presence of the identifiers of the authority records of the URBE network libraries in Wikidata, and of the collaboration that has evolved since 2020 between the Wikidata community and the cataloguers of the URBE network libraries, relating to the harmonisation of these authority records with Wikidata and the improvement of the quality of the respective data. The first part of the contribution traces the main stages of collaboration in chronological order, while the second part of the contribution presents the main areas in which the collaboration materialises (or can materialise) in the daily authority work carried out by cataloguers in theme-based groupings".

- located in the Islamic territorial entity (the item is located on the territory of the following Islamic entity.)
- address of addressee (address of the address e.g. on a postcard)
- TheaterEncyclopedie ID (An item of the TheaterEncyclopedie)
- relates to sustainable development goal, target or indicator (indicates a relation between the subject and the SDGs or one of the components)

- student count by gender (I think there should be a way to document the number of students at a university by their gender, as data for student counts (at least if they come from GENESIS Online - german universities) contain that data divided in male and female students. I think it would make more sense to implement that as a qualifier for {{P|2196}} than implementing it as a new property as that wouldn't make old data obsolete, but also it could interfere with tools that retrieve that data automated and are then confused by having multiple counts at the same time.)

- General datatypes:
- New property proposals to review:
- General datatypes:
- last appearance (last work featuring a fictional character or item)
- is ontological root of (forms the root element of the ontology)
- located in the Islamic territorial entity (the item is located on the territory of the following Islamic entity.)
- address of addressee (address of the address e.g. on a postcard)
- TheaterEncyclopedie ID (An item of the TheaterEncyclopedie)
- relates to sustainable development goal, target or indicator (indicates a relation between the subject and the SDGs or one of the components)
- student count by gender (I think there should be a way to document the number of students at a university by their gender, as data for student counts (at least if they come from GENESIS Online - german universities) contain that data divided in male and female students. I think it would make more sense to implement that as a qualifier for {{P|2196}} than implementing it as a new property as that wouldn't make old data obsolete, but also it could interfere with tools that retrieve that data automated and are then confused by having multiple counts at the same time.)
- has semantic role (item that describes a role in an event class)
- model for (2) (what the subject is a conceptual or scientific model/theory for)
- Dynasty (A dynasty is a sequence of rulers from the same family, usually in the context of a monarchy or imperial system but sometimes also appearing in republics. A dynasty can be used to describe the time period in which a person lived, an event happened, a work was created, or a place existed.)

- antonomasia (epithet or phrase that takes the place of a proper name)

Changements récents
- Au cours des trois prochaines semaines, le mode sombre sera disponible pour tous les utilisateurs, qu'ils soient connectés ou non, en commençant par la version Web mobile. Cela répond à l'un des souhaits communautaires les plus demandés et améliore la lisibilité et l'utilisation en faible contraste dans les environnements peu éclairés. Dans le cadre de ces changements, le mode sombre fonctionnera également sur les pages utilisateur et les portails. Vous trouverez plus d'informations dans la dernière note d’actualité de l'équipe Web. [181]
- Les utilisateurs connectés peuvent désormais définir leurs préférences globales pour la taille du texte et le mode sombre, grâce à un effort commun entre les équipes de la Fondation. Cela permet aux Wikimédiens utilisant plusieurs wikis de mettre en place facilement une expérience de lecture cohérente, par exemple en passant du mode clair au mode sombre une seule fois pour tous les wikis. [182]
- Si vous utilisez un navigateur Web très ancien, certaines fonctionnalités pourraient ne pas fonctionner sur les wikis de Wikimedia. Cela concerne Internet Explorer 11 et les versions de Chrome, Firefox et Safari antérieures à 2016. Ce changement permet d'utiliser de nouvelles fonctionnalités en CSS et d'envoyer moins de code à tous les lecteurs. [183][184]
- Les administrateurs de Wikipedia peuvent facilement personnaliser les options de configuration locale du wiki en utilisant la Configuration de la communauté. La Configuration de la communauté a été créée pour permettre aux communautés de personnaliser le fonctionnement de certaines fonctionnalités, car chaque Wiki de langue a des besoins uniques. Pour le moment, les administrateurs peuvent configurer les Fonctionnalités de croissance sur leurs wikis locaux, afin de mieux recruter et retenir les nouveaux éditeurs. D'autres options seront fournies dans les mois à venir. [185]
- Les éditeurs intéressés par les questions linguistiques liées aux normes Unicode peuvent désormais discuter de ces sujets dans un nouvel espace de discussion sur MediaWiki.org. La Fondation Wikimedia est maintenant un membre du Consortium Unicode, et le groupe de coordination peut examiner de manière collaborative les problèmes discutés et, le cas échéant, les porter à l'attention du Consortium Unicode.
- Un nouveau Wiki a été créé : un Wikipédia en Mandailing (
w:btm:) [186]
Problèmes
- Les contributeurs peuvent à nouveau cliquer sur les liens dans l'aperçu des références de l'éditeur visuel, grâce à une correction de beugue par l'équipe Contribution. [187]
Futurs changements
- Aidez-nous à améliorer les Actualités techniques en répondant à cette enquête. L'objectif est de mieux répondre aux besoins des différents types de personnes qui lisent les Actualités techniques. L'enquête sera ouverte pendant 2 semaines. L'enquête est couverte par cette déclaration de confidentialité. Des traductions sont disponibles.

Enquête des Actualités techniques
- Aidez-nous à améliorer les Actualités techniques en répondant à cette courte enquête. L’objectif est de mieux répondre aux besoins des différents types de personnes lisant les Actualités techniques. L’enquête reste ouverte pour encore trois jours. Elle est régie par cette déclaration de confidentialité. Des traductions sont disponibles.
Changements récents
- Les développeurs et développeuses Wikimedia peuvent officiellement continuer à utiliser à la fois Gerrit et GitLab, après la décision de Wikimedia Foundation du juin de prendre en charge le développement sur les deux plateformes. Gerrit et GitLab sont deux hébergeurs de code utilisés pour écrire, relire et déployer le code logiciel de MediaWiki (le logiciel central des projets wiki) et des outils annexes pour créer et améliorer le contenu. Cette décision protège la productivité de nos développeurs et évite que des problèmes de relecture du code affectent nos utilisateurs. D’autres détails sont sur la page sur l’état de la migration.
- Wikimedia Foundation recherche des candidats au Conseil consultatif Produit et Technologie (PTAC). Ce groupe réunira des contributeurs et contributrices techniques et Wikimedia Foundation pour définir ensemble la plateforme du futur, résiliente. Les membres du Conseil évalueront et consulteront les activités techniques et produits du mouvement, afin de développer des projets multigénérationnels. Nous recherchons une diversité de profil de contribution technique, du monde entier, venant de divers projets Wikimedia. Candidatez ici avant le 10 aout !
- Les contributeurs et contributrices avec le droit de révocation qui utilisent l’appli Wikipédia Android peuvent utiliser les nouvelles fonctionnalité de révision des modifications. Cela inclut un nouveau flux des Modifications récentes, avec les liens liés tels que l’annulation et la révocation, et la possibilité de créer et d’enregistrer une collection personnelle de messages pour communiquer lors de la patrouille. Si votre wiki veut rendre ces fonctions disponibles pour les personnes ayant un certains nombres de modification plutôt que le statut de Patrouille, vous pouvez contacter l’équipe. En savoir plus sur ce projet sur le blog Diff.
- Les contributeurs et contributrices qui ont accès à la Bibliothèque de Wikipédia peuvent à nouveau voir les contenus restreints de SpringerLinks, Wikimedia les ayant contacté pour restaurer l’accès. En savoir plus sur cela et 21 autres demandes communautaires traitées la semaine dernière.
Changements à venir cette semaine
- Cette semaine, le mode sombre sera disponible sur plusieurs Wikipédia, sur ordinateur comme sur mobile, que l’on soit connecté ou non. Les admins d’interface et mainteneur et mainteneuse de scripts utilisateur sont encouragés à vérifier les gadgets et scripts avec le mode sombre, pour trouver des couleurs figées dans le code et les corriger. Voici quelques recommandations pour la compatibilité avec le mode sombre, si besoin.
Futurs changements
- La semaine prochaine, les admins, bénévoles de maintenance d’outils et équipes de développement de logiciel sont invités à tester les comptes temporaires sur testwiki. Les comptes temporaires sont une fonctionnalité qui protège mieux la vie privée sur les wikis. Leur déploiement n’est pas encore programmé. Vos opinions et questions sont les bienvenus sur la page de discussion du projet. [188]
- Si vous mettez en ligne des fichiers entre wikis, ou dites aux autres comment le faire, vous êtes invités à participer à une discussion sur Wikimedia Commons concernant l’éventuelle restriction de qui peut mettre en ligne des fichiers grâce à la boite de dialogue inter-wiki aux personnes autoconfirmées sur Commons. Cette discussion vient du grand nombre de violations du droit d’auteur par ce moyen. Un court résumé est présent sur Commons:Téléversement entre-wikis et les discussions sur le bistro de Commons.

Actualités techniques n° 2024-30
modifierDernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.
Feature News
- Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
- Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and Minerva skin was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to Codex by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [189]
- Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via GlobalVanishRequest. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [190]
- Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone.
- Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the Commons Impact Metrics analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [191]
Mises à jour de project
- Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened Community Wishlist. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.
En savoir plus
- Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on Diff.
- How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent blog post by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the WMF Future Audience initiative, where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a ChatGPT plugin and Add a Fact, to help take Wikimedia into the future.

Si vous constatez des problèmes connexes sur votre wiki, veuillez partager les détails sur la page de discussion du projet.
État des bugs
- Certains éditeurs connectés ont brièvement été incapables de modifier ou de charger des pages la semaine dernière. Ces erreurs étaient principalement dues à l'ajout de nouvelles règles de linter qui ont entraîné des problèmes de mise en cache. Des correctifs ont été appliqués et les enquêtes se poursuivent.

L'admissibilité de l'article « Gladiateurs de la Queue-en-Brie » est débattue
modifier Bonjour,
L’article « Gladiateurs de la Queue-en-Brie (page supprimée) » fait l'objet d'un débat d'admissibilité (cf. Wikipédia:Débat d'admissibilité). Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion:Gladiateurs de la Queue-en-Brie/Admissibilité.
Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus sur l'admissibilité de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes. Si vous ne pouvez trouver de telles sources, c’est que l’article n’est probablement pas admissible.
N’oubliez pas que les principes fondateurs de Wikipédia ne garantissent aucun droit à avoir un article sur Wikipédia.

Tech News: 2024-34
modifierLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Editors who want to re-use references but with different details such as page numbers, will be able to do so by the end of 2024, using a new sub-referencing feature. You can read more about the project and how to test the prototype.
- Editors using tracking categories to identify which pages use specific extensions may notice that six of the categories have been renamed to make them more easily understood and consistent. These categories are automatically added to pages that use specialized MediaWiki extensions. The affected names are for: DynamicPageList, Kartographer, Phonos, RSS, Score, WikiHiero. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match. Thanks to Pppery for these improvements. [197]
- Technical volunteers who edit modules and want to get a list of the categories used on a page, can now do so using the
categoriesproperty ofmw.title objects. This enables wikis to configure workflows such as category-specific edit notices. Thanks to SD001 for these improvements. [198][199]
Bugs status
- Your help is needed to check if any pages need to be moved or deleted. A maintenance script was run to clean up unreachable pages (due to Unicode issues or introduction of new namespaces/namespace aliases). The script tried to find appropriate names for the pages (e.g. by following the Unicode changes or by moving pages whose titles on Wikipedia start with
Talk:WP:so that their titles start withWikipedia talk:), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/ instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed. A full log (including pages for which appropriate names could be found) is available in phab:P67388. - Editors who volunteer as mentors to newcomers on their wiki are once again able to access lists of potential mentees who they can connect with to offer help and guidance. This functionality was restored thanks to a bug fix. Thank you to Mbch331 for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 18 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
- The application deadline for the Product & Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) has been extended to September 16. Members will help by providing advice to Foundation Product and Technology leadership on short and long term plans, on complex strategic problems, and help to get feedback from more contributors and technical communities. Selected members should expect to spend roughly 5 hours per month for the Council, during the one year pilot. Please consider applying, and spread the word to volunteers you think would make a positive contribution to the committee.

- The 2024 Coolest Tool Awards were awarded at Wikimania, in seven categories. For example, one award went to the ISA Tool, used for adding structured data to files on Commons, which was recently improved during the Wiki Mentor Africa Hackathon. You can see video demonstrations of each tool at the awards page. Congratulations to this year's recipients, and thank you to all tool creators and maintainers.
- The latest Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin is available, and includes some highlights from Wikimania, an upcoming Language community meeting, and other news from the movement.

Actualités techniques n° 2024-35
modifierDernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.
Actualités des fonctionnalités
- Les administrateurs peuvent désormais tester la fonctionnalité des comptes temporaires sur test2wiki. Cela a été fait pour permettre des tests inter-wikis de comptes temporaires, lorsque ces comptes temporaires passent d'un projet à un autre. La fonctionnalité a été activée sur testwiki il y a quelques semaines. Aucun déploiement supplémentaire de comptes temporaires n'est encore prévu. Les Comptes Temporaires sont un projet visant à créer un nouveau type de compte utilisateur remplaçant les adresses IP des éditeurs non enregistrés qui ne sont plus rendues publiques. Veuillez partager vos opinions et questions sur la page de discussion du projet.
- Plus tard cette semaine, les éditeurs des wikis qui utilisent FlaggedRevs (également connu sous le nom de "Modifications en attentes") peuvent remarquer que les indicateurs en haut des articles ont changé. Ce changement rend le système plus cohérent avec le reste de l'interface MediaWiki. [200]
État des beugues
- Les éditeurs qui utilisent l'éditeur de wikitexte de 2010 et les boutons d'insertion de caractères ne rencontreront plus de problèmes avec les boutons ajoutant du contenu dans le résumé de modification au lieu de la fenêtre de modification. Vous pouvez en savoir plus à ce sujet et sur les 26 autres tâches soumises par la communauté qui ont été résolues la semaine dernière.
Actualités des projets
- Allez lire et voter pour les sujets cibles, qui sont des groupes de souhaits pour corriger un même problème. Les sujets cibles ont été créés pour la nouvelle mouture des Souhaits de la communauté qui est désormais ouverte toute l’année. Le premier lot de sujets cibles est spécifique à la routine de modération, à l’accueil des néophytes, à la minimisation des tâches répétitives et à la priorisation des tâches. Une fois que les bénévoles auront relu et voté pour les sujets cibles, Wikimedia examinera et choisira les sujets cibles à prioriser.
- Vous avez un projet et avez envie d’assister un stagiaire pour une mission de trois (3) mois ? Outreachy est un programme biannuel permettant à des personnes d’être rémunérées pour un stage débutant en décembre 2024 et finissant en mars 2025 ; et ils ont besoin de tuteurs ou tutrices et de projets sur lesquels travailler. Les projets peuvent cibler du codage ou non (design, documentation, traduction, recherche). Consultez la page Outreachy pour plus d’informations ou pour voir les précédents projets depuis 2013.
Autres notes d’actualité
- Si vous êtes curieux des améliorations apportées aux produits et à la technologie par la Fondation Wikimedia l'année dernière, lisez ce résumé récent des points forts sur Diff.

Weekly highlight
- Editors and volunteer developers interested in data visualisation can now test the new software for charts. Its early version is available on beta Commons and beta Wikipedia. This is an important milestone before making charts available on regular wikis. You can read more about this project update and help to test the charts.
Feature news
- Editors who use the Spécial:Modèles inutilisés page can now filter out pages which are expected to be there permanently, such as sandboxes, test-cases, and templates that are always substituted. Editors can add the new magic word
__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__to a template page to hide it from the listing. Thanks to Sophivorus and DannyS712 for these improvements. [201] - Editors who use the New Topic tool on discussion pages, will now be reminded to add a section header, which should help reduce the quantity of newcomers who add sections without a header. You can read more about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
- Last week, some Toolforge tools had occasional connection problems. The cause is still being investigated, but the problems have been resolved for now. [202]
- Translation administrators at multilingual wikis, when editing multiple translation units, can now easily mark which changes require updates to the translation. This is possible with the new dropdown menu.
Project updates
- A new draft text of a policy discussing the use of Wikimedia's APIs has been published on Meta-Wiki. The draft text does not reflect a change in policy around the APIs; instead, it is an attempt to codify existing API rules. Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the proposed update’s talk page until September 13 or until those discussions have concluded.
Learn more
- To learn more about the technology behind the Wikimedia projects, you can now watch sessions from the technology track at Wikimania 2024 on Commons. This week, check out:
- Charts, the successor of Graphs - A secure and extensible tool for data visualization (25 mins) – about the above-mentioned Charts project.

Tech News: 2024-37
modifierLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Starting this week, the standard syntax highlighter will receive new colors that make them compatible in dark mode. This is the first of many changes to come as part of a major upgrade to syntax highlighting. You can learn more about what's to come on the help page. [204][205]
- Editors of wikis using Wikidata will now be notified of only relevant Wikidata changes in their watchlist. This is because the Lua functions
entity:getSitelink()andmw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid)will have their logic unified for tracking different aspects of sitelinks to reduce junk notifications from inconsistent sitelinks tracking. [206]
Project updates
- Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [207]
- Contributors of 11 Wikipedias, including English will have a new
MOSnamespace added to their Wikipedias. This improvement ensures that links beginning withMOS:(usually shortcuts to the Manual of Style) are not broken by Mooré Wikipedia (language codemos). [208]

Tool of the week
- User:Lagewi/references.js - "Sometimes, the data on Wikidata does not answer all your questions. Some types of information are difficult to encode in statements, or simply has not been encoded on Wikidata yet. In such cases, it might be useful to go through the references attached to claims of the entity, for additional information. To simplify this process, this user script lists all unique references based on stated in (P248) and reference URL (P854). The references are listed in a collapsible list below the table of labels and descriptions, collapsed by default to not be obtrusive." To enable it, include the following line in your common.js:
mw.loader.load('//www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lagewi/references.js&oldid=2039248554&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

Actualités techniques n° 2024-38
modifierDernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.
Améliorations et Maintenance
- Les utilisateurs et utilisatrices de modèles peuvent apporter leur aide en lisant le champ d'action issu de la liste de souhaits le plus récent, « Réutilisation et découverte de modèles », et partager leur retours en page de discussion. Ces retours aideront la l'équipe technique de la communauté à déterminer la meilleure approche pour la réalisation de ces souhaits. Tout le monde est encouragé à continuer à proposer de nouveaux souhaits.
- Les éditeurs qui veulent comprendre quels espaces de noms existent sur chaque wiki, et quelques détails sur la façon dont ils sont configurés, peuvent utiliser la nouvelle page Spécial:NamespaceInfo automatisée. Merci à DannyS712 pour ces améliorations. [209]
- La vérification des références est une fonctionnalité qui encourage les éditeurs à ajouter une citation lorsqu’ils ajoutent un nouveau paragraphe à un article de Wikipédia. Pendant une courte période de temps, la balise « Modifier la vérification (références) activée » a été appliquée aux modifications en dehors de l’espace de noms principal. Ce problème a été résolu. [210]
- It is now possible for a wiki community to change the order in which a page’s categories are displayed on their wiki. By default, categories are displayed in the order they appear in the wikitext. Now, wikis with a consensus to do so can request a configuration change to display them in alphabetical order. [211]
- Tool authors can now access ToolsDB's public databases from both Quarry and Superset. Those databases have always been accessible to every Toolforge user, but they are now more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account. In addition, Quarry's internal database can now be queried from Quarry itself. This database contains information about all queries that are being run and starred by users in Quarry. This information was already public through the web interface, but you can now query it using SQL. You can read more about that, and 20 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
- Any pages or tools that still use the very old CSS classes
mw-message-boxneed to be updated. These old classes will be removed next week or soon afterwards. Editors can use a global-search to determine what needs to be changed. It is possible to use the newercdx-messagegroup of classes as a replacement (see the relevant Codex documentation, and an example update), but using locally defined onwiki classes would be best. [212]
Mises à jour techniques du projet
- La semaine prochaine, les utilisateurs de tous les wikis auront accès aux sites Wikimédia en lecture seule pendant quelques minutes. Cela commencera le 25 septembre à 15:00 UTC. Il s’agit d’un basculement de centre de données prévu à des fins de maintenance. Ce processus de maintenance vise également d’autres services. The previous switchover took 3 minutes, and the Site Reliability Engineering teams use many tools to make sure that this essential maintenance work happens as quickly as possible. [213]
Technique en profondeur
- Le dernier numéro mensuel du bulletin d'informations sur les produits MediaWiki est disponible. This edition includes details about: research about hook handlers to help simplify development, research about performance improvements, work to improve the REST API for end-users, and more.
- Pour en apprendre plus sur la technologie derrière les projets Wikimedia, vous pouvez maintenant regarder les sessions de le volet technologique à Wikimania 2024 sur Commons. Cette semaine, regardez:
- Hackathon Showcase (45 mins) - 19 short presentations by some of the Hackathon participants, describing some of the projects they worked on, such as automated testing of maintenance scripts, a video-cutting command line tool, and interface improvements for various tools. There are more details and links available in the Phabricator task.
- Co-Creating a Sustainable Future for the Toolforge Ecosystem (40 mins) - a roundtable discussion for tool-maintainers, users, and supporters of Toolforge about how to make the platform sustainable and how to evaluate the tools available there.

modifierDernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.
En lumière cette semaine
- Tous les wikis seront en lecture seule pendant quelques minutes le mercredi 25 septembre à 15 h UTC. La lecture sera toujours possible, mais pas la modification. Ces procédures biannuelles permettent aux équipes de Wikimedia responsables de la fiabilité des sites de rester prêtes à intervenir pour garder les wikis fonctionnels en cas de panne d’un de nos centres de données.
Actualités pour la contribution
- Les contributeurs et contributrices qui utilisent l’appli Wikipédia pour iOS en espagnol, portugais, français ou chinois peuvent voir l’expérimentation de la suggestion de modification pour les textes alternatifs après la modification d’un article ou la réalisation d’une modification suggérée « Ajoutez une image ». Le texte alternatif aide les personnes malvoyantes à lire les articles Wikipédia. L’équipe cherche à savoir si l’ajout de textes alternatifs aux images est une tâche que des novices peuvent correctement réaliser. Vos retours sont les bienvenus sur la page de discussion.
- La palette de couleurs de Codex a été mise à jour avec les changements de couleurs des interfaces utilisateur de MediaWiki. Les changements les plus notables pour la contribution concernent les couleurs du mode sombre pour les liens et pour les boutons de calme (progressifs et destructeurs), les couleurs des liens visités dans les modes sombres et lumineux, et les couleurs d’arrière-plan des messages système dans les modes sombres et lumineux.
- Il est désormais possibles d’inclure des liens cliquables internes et externes dans les blocs de code. Cela concerne les liens utilisés dans les balises
<syntaxhighlight>sur les pages de code (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto et CSS assaini). L’utilisation de la syntaxe de modèle{{…}}crée aussi un lien vers la page du modèle. Merci à SD0001 pour ces améliorations. [214] - Deux beugues ont été corrigés dans le système GlobalVanishRequest en améliorant la journalisation et en supprimant un message de remplacement inapproprié. [215][216]
- Voir les 25 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.
Actualités pour la contribution technique
- Sur Wikimedia Entreprise :
- L’API permet désormais de soumettre 5 000 requêtes API par mois et de récupérer des images instantanées HTML deux fois par mois gratuitement et librement. D’autres actualités, notamment l’amélioration de la trousse de développement logiciel (SDK) sont présentées sur le billet de blog du projet. Même si les API de Wikimedia Entreprise sont conçues pour des réutilisations commerciales à haut volume, ce changement permet que le service soit utilisé pour de nombreux usages communautaires.
- L’API des images instantanées (copies HTML) a été dotée en bêta de points finaux Contenus structurés (article de blog) et de deux jeux de données bêta (Wikipédia en anglais et en français) depuis ce point final vers Hugging Face pour utilisation publique et recueil des retours (article de blog). Ces jeux de données pré-analysés permet de nouvelles options pour la recherche, le développement et l’analyse de données.
En détails
- Le Service de requêtes de Wikidata (WDQS) est utilisé pour obtenir des réponses aux questions en utilisant le jeu de données de Wikidata. Comme Wikidata grandissait, nous devions effectuer un changement majeur d’architecture pour que WDQS puissent rester performant. Dans le cadre du projet Séparation des graphes de WDQS, nous avons défini de nouveaux points finaux QPARQL pour servir les sous-graphes « érudit » et « principal » de Wikidata. Le point d’accès terminal query.wikidata.org continuera de servir le graphe Wikidata entier jusqu’à mars 2025. Après cette date, il ne servira plus que le graphe principal. Pour plus d’informations, lisez l’annonce sur Wikidata.

<translate>Development
- Search: The haswbstatement search magic word has been improved by the Search Platform Team. Previously it was limited in which Properties were indexed for it. Going forward haswbstatement:P123 will work for all Properties, regardless of their datatype. This will allow you to filter search results for Items that have a statement with a specific Property. (Searching for a specific complete statement with haswbstatement:P123=xxx will still only work for specific datatypes.) For this to work all Items have to be reindexed and this will take up to 1 month.
- Design system migration: We have migrated the Special:NewLexeme page from Wikit to Codex and are working on finishing the migration for the Query Builder.
- EntitySchemas: We finished the investigation about how to support search for EntitySchemas by label or alias when linking to an EntitySchema in a statement. (phab:T362005)
- Wikibase REST API: We worked on integrating language fallbacks into the API (phab:T371605)

Actualités techniques n° 2024-40
modifierDernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.
Actualités pour la contribution
- Les lecteurs de 42 autres wikis peuvent maintenant utiliser le mode sombre. Si l’option n’est pas encore disponible pour les utilisateurs non connectés de votre wiki, c’est probablement parce que de nombreux modèles ne s’affichent pas encore correctement en mode sombre. Utilisez l’outil night-mode-checker (« Vérificateur du mode nuit ») si vous avez envie d’aider à résoudre ces problèmes. La page de recommandations fournit des conseils à ce sujet. Le mode sombre est activé sur de nouveaux wikis une fois par mois.
- Les contributeurs qui utilisent l’éditeur de wikicode 2010 par défaut peuvent accéder aux fonctions de l’éditeur de wikicode 2017 en ajoutant
?veaction=editsourceà l’URL. Si vous souhaitez activer l’éditeur 2017 par défaut, cela se fait dans vos préférences. [217] - Pour le lectorat non-connecté utilisant l’habillage Vector 2022, le lien « Donner » a été déplacé du menu déroulant à côté de la zone du contenu vers un menu supérieur plus visible, à côté de « Créer un compte ». Il retrouve la visibilité qu’il avait dans l’habillage Vector 2010. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur les changements concernant l’expérience de don. [218]
- L’extension CampaignEvents (« Campagnes évènementielles ») fournit des outils pour les équipes d’organisation afin de gérer plus facilement des évènements, communiquer avec les participants et promouvoir leurs évènements sur les wikis. L’extension a été activée sur les Wikipédia en arabe, igbo et swahili, ainsi que sur Méta-Wiki. La Wikipédia en chinois a décidé d’activer l’extension, des discussions ont lieu sur la Wikipédia en espagnol et sur Wikidata. Pour savoir comment activer l’extension sur votre wiki, visitez la page CampaignEvents sur Méta-Wiki.
- Voir les 22 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.
Actualités pour la contribution technique
- Les développeurs et développeuses ayant un compte sur le wiki Wikiteh devraient vérifier si une action est nécessaire pour leur compte. Le wiki est en train de changer pour utiliser le système de connexion par utilisateur unique (SUL) et d’autres changements de configuration. Ce changement va réduire la complexité générale des mises à jour hebdomadaires sur tous nos wikis.
En détails
- L’interversion de serveurs s’est terminée avec succès la semaine dernière, avec un blocage des modifications pendant seulement 2 minutes 46 secondes. Cette procédure périodique garantit que nos ingénieurs savent passer d’un centre de donnée à l’autre en gardant tous les wikis accessibles au lectorat, même en cas de problème technique majeur. Cela permet aussi de faire des opérations de maintenance sur les systèmes qui tournent normalement 24 heures sur 24, et cela révèle souvent les éventuelles faiblesses de l’infrastructure. Le processus implique des dizaines de services logiciels et des centaines de serveurs matériel, et nécessite que de multiples équipes collaborent. Le travail de ces dernières années a réduit le temps de lecture seule de 17 minutes à 2-3 minutes. [219]
Rencontres et évènements
- 4 au 6 octobre : Hackathon de la Conférence WikiIndaba à Johannesburg, en Afrique du Sud ;
- 4 au 6 novembre : Conférence de l’utilisation et du développement de MediaWiki de l’automne 2024 à Vienne, en Autriche.

Actualités techniques n° 2024-41
modifierDernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.
En lumière cette semaine
- Les communautés peuvent désormais demander l’installation d’Automoderator sur leur wiki. Automoderator est un outil automatisé de lutte contre le vandalisme qui annule les mauvaises modifications en se basant sur leur notation attribuée par le nouveau modèle d’apprentissage automatique « Risque d’annulation ». Vous pouvez lire les étapes à suivre pour l’installation et la configuration. [220]
Actualités pour la contribution
- Les traducteurs et traductrices sur les wikis où l’expérience mobile de l’Outil de traduction de contenu est disponible peuvent désormais personnaliser leurs suggestions d’articles grâce à 41 choix de filtrage. Cette fonctionnalité de suggestion d’article en fonction du sujet facilite la découverte d’articles à traduire selon les centres d’intérêts. Vous pouvez l’essayer sur votre appareil mobile. [221]
- Voir les 12 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.
Actualités pour la contribution technique
- Il est désormais possible pour les blocs de code
<syntaxhighlight>de proposer un bouton « Copier » au lectorat en définissant l’attributcopy=1sur la balise. Merci à SD0001 pour cette amélioration. [222] - Les messages personnalisés en pied de page concernant le droit d’auteur vont être actualisés sur tous les wikis. La nouvelle version utilisera du wikicode, au lieu de nécessiter une mise en forme en HTML. [223]
- Ce mois-ci, les comptes temporaires vont faire leur apparition sur plusieurs wikis pilotes. La liste définitive des wikis sera publiée pendant la deuxième quinzaine du mois. Si vous maintenez un outil, robot ou gadget sur un de ces 11 wikis et que votre logiciel utilise des données concernant les adresses IP ou est disponible pour les utilisateurs non-connectés, vérifiez si une modification doit être apportée pour fonctionner avec les comptes temporaires. Un guidage pour la mise à jour du code est disponible.
- Une limite d’accès a été activée pour les outils de revue de code Gerrit et GitLab pour répondre aux problèmes en cours causés par du trafic et moissonnage malveillants. Les clients qui ouvrent trop de connexions simultanées seront restreints pendant quelques minutes. Cette limitation est gérée avec des règles de parefeu nftables. Des détails sont sur Wikitech concernant le parefeu, les limites dans GitLab et les opérations de Gerrit.
- Cinq nouveaux wikis ont été créés :

- The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16th October 2024 at 18:00 CEST in the Wikidata Telegram group. The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the development team presents what they have been working on over the past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss important issues related to the development of Wikidata and Wikibase.
- Wikidata:Twelfth Birthday: We already have 30 events scheduled on the list 😍. As a reminder, when your event is ready, don't forget to:
- create a wikipage with more information about the event, participants list, etc.
- add your event to the global calendar and the map, following the instructions here: Wikidata:Twelfth Birthday/Run an event/Schedule
Press, articles, blog posts, videos
- Blogs
- Small data, slow data − a SNAIL approach to Wikidata: discusses the value of small, carefully curated datasets in the era of big data. It emphasizes the importance of taking a methodical, "snail-paced" approach to data collection and analysis, which can lead to more meaningful and accurate insights. The blogpost also highlights how this approach can complement the broader trends of big data, ensuring that detailed, high-quality data is not overlooked.
- Papers
- "WoolNet: Finding and Visualising Paths in Knowledge Graphs" given two or more entities requested by a user, the system finds and visualises paths that connect these entities, forming a topical subgraph of Wikidata (Torres Gutiérrez and Hogan)
- Videos
- Introductory workshop to Wikidata within the framework of the Latin America Contest in Wikidata 2024 (in Italian)
- GeoPython 2024: Bridging Worlds: Python-Powered Integration of Wikidata and OpenStreetMap: This talk explores Python-powered tools that integrate Wikidata with OpenStreetMap, allowing users to link entries between the two platforms to enhance geospatial data accuracy while navigating legal and ethical challenges of cross-platform data sharing.
- LD4 2024 Conference: Wikidata and Open Data: Enhancing the Hausa Community's Digital Presence
- Dynamic Mapping using Collaborative Knowledge Graphs: Real-Time SKOS Mapping from Wikidata: This presentation introduces a workflow using SPARQL queries to dynamically map live Wikidata data to SKOS concepts, featuring a Python tool that converts CSV outputs into RDF triples for integration into linked data environments and knowledge graphs, emphasizing real-time data retrieval and interoperability.
- How to add location coordinates to Wikidata Items (in Dagbanli)
- Clean-up of problematic Dagbani lexemes: Wikidata:Lexicographical data/Documentation/Languages/dag#Maintenance_tasks (in Dagbanli)
- How to link Wikidata Items to Wikipedia Articles
- Best Practices to editing Dagbani Lexemes on Wikidata

- Could making Wikidata 'human' readable lead to better AI?: Lydia Pintscher (WMDE), Portfolio Lead Product Manager at Wikidata Deutschland, discussed a new project aimed at making Wikidata more 'human' readable for Large Language Models (LLMs), which could improve AI reliability by giving these models access to high-quality, human-curated data from Wikidata.
- Notebooks
Tool of the week
- Elemwala (এলেমওয়ালা) (https://elemwala.toolforge.org): is a proof-of-concept interface that allows you to input abstract content and get natural language text in a given output language. There may well be errors with particular inputs, and the text may not be quite as natural as you might expect, but that's where your improvements to your language's lexemes, other Wikidata items, and the tool's source code come in!
- mlscores: Tool for calculating multilinguality score of Wikidata items (including properties). E.g. for Wikidata (Q2013), the scores are - en: 99.66%, fr: 89.49%, es: 84.07%, pt: 68.47%. For instance of (P31), the scores are - en: 99.86%, fr: 87.12%, es: 80.83%, pt: 61.37%.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Launch of WikiProject Deprecate P642: The goal of this project is to prepare for deprecation, and eventual removal, of the property of (P642). Currently, of (P642) is labeled as "being deprecated", meaning its use is still allowed, but discouraged. From a peak of around 900,000 uses, the property now has around 700,000 uses (see status here). Our goal is to reduce that as much as possible in a systematic way, while ensuring that appropriate properties exist to replace all valid uses of of (P642). The latter is key to officially deprecating the property. Before removing the property, we want to get as close to zero uses as possible.

Tech News: 2024-42
modifierLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [230][231]
- WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [232]
- View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.
Updates for technical contributors
- Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [233]
- Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed. [234]
- Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a
<bdi>element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time. [235]
In depth
- The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes: updates on Wikimedia's authentication system, research to simplify feature development in the MediaWiki platform, updates on Parser Unification and MathML rollout, and more.
- The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition include: research about improving topic suggestions related to countries, improvements to PHPUnit tests, and more.

- New requests for permissions/Bot:
- CarbonBot - (1) Add default mul labels to given and family names when the item has an existing default label with a mul language (2) Remove duplicated aliases matching the items mul label, when the item has a native label in with a mul language. As mul has not been fully adopted, a limited of aliases would be modified each day to ensure existing workflows are not disrupted. It is expected that these tasks will apply to roughly 800,000 given and family names.

Actualités techniques n° 2024-43
modifierDernières actualités techniques de la communauté technique de Wikimedia. N’hésitez pas à informer les autres utilisateurs de ces changements. Certains changements ne vous concernent pas. D’autres traductions sont disponibles.
En lumière cette semaine
- L’équipe Applis mobile a sorti une mise à jour de la navigation de l’appli iOS, désormais disponible dans la dernière version sur l’AppStore. L’équipe a ajouté un nouveau menu Profile qui permets un accès facile aux fonctions de contribution telles que les notifications ou la liste de suivi depuis la vue Article. Le bouton « Donner » est aussi plus accessible lors de la lecture d’un article. Ces changements constituent la première phase du rafraichissement de la navigation en cours, qui vise à passer d’une appli centrée sur la lecture à une appli qui prend en charge entièrement la contribution. Wikimedia Foundation a ajouté d’autres fonction pour contribuer et communiquer sur le wiki, à partir des demandes ces dernières années.
Actualités pour la contribution
- Le lectorat de Wikipédia peut désormais télécharger une extension de navigateur pour tester certaines idées de fonctionnalités potentielles (recommandations d’articles liés, résumés automatique d’articles, amélioration de la recherche). Pour plus de détails et être informé des actus, consultez la page Expérimentation de la découverte de contenus de l’équipe Web, et abonnez-vous à leur infolettre.
- Ce mois-ci, les contributeurs non-connectés de douze wikis commenceront à avoir des comptes temporaires créés. Certains wikis seront peut-être retirés de l’expérimentation. Les comptes temporaires constituent un nouveau type de compte utilisateur qui protège mieux la vie privée des contributeurs non-connectés et facilite la communication entre la communauté et eux. Si vous maintenez un outil, robot ou gadget sur ces douze wikis et que votre logiciel utilisent des données sur les adresses IP ou est disponible pour les utilisateurs non-connectés, vérifiez si une mise à jour doit être faite pour fonctionner avec les comptes temporaires. Un guidage sur la jour du code est disponible. Vous pouvez consulter le calendrier de déploiement sur tous les wikis.
- Voir les 33 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, les Wikipédia en ndébélé du sud, ruthène de Pannonie, obolo, iban et tai nüa ont été créées cette semaine. [236][237][238][239][240]
- Il est désormais possible de créer des fonctions sur Wikifunctions en utilisant des lexèmes de Wikidata avec le nouveau type Wikidata lexeme apparu cette semaine. Quand vous visitez une de ces fonctions, l’interface propose un sélecteur de lexème qui permet de choisir un lexème sur Wikidata qui correspond au mot que vous saisissez. Lors de l’exécution, le lexème choisi est récupéré sur Wikidata, transtypé en Wikidata lexeme et transmis à la fonction choisie. Lisez la dernière infolettre de Wikifunctions pour plus d’info.
Actualités pour la contribution technique
- Les utilisateurs des sites Wikimedia peuvent désormais mettre en forme les dates plus facilement dans différentes langues avec la nouvelle fonction d’analyse
{{#timef:…}}. Par exemple,{{#timef:now|date|en}}affichera « 23 December 2024 ». Auparavant,{{#time:…}}pouvait être utilisé pour mettre en forme des dates, mais il fallait connaitre l’ordre des composants de la date et heure, ainsi que les règles de ponctuation.#timef(ou#timeflpour l’heure locale) fournit un accès aux formats de date standards utilisés par MediaWiki dans l’interface utilisateur. Cela peut aider à simplifier des modèles sur les wikis multilingues tels que Commons et Méta-Wiki. [241][242] - Les utilisateurs de Commons et de Meta-Wiki peuvent désormais efficacement obtenir la langue du lecteur ou lectrice en utilisant
{{USERLANGUAGE}}au lieu de{{int:lang}}. [243] - Le Conseil consultatif pour les produits et technologies (PTAC) a désormais son comité de pilotage, avec des représentants issus d’Afrique, Asie, Europe, Amérique du Nord et Amérique du Sud. Ils travailleront sur le projet du « Conseil sur les technologies » de la Stratégie du Mouvement qui vise à avoir une plateforme technologique définie conjointement et plus robuste. [244]
En détails
- La dernière infolettre Croissance est disponible. Elle aborde : l’arrivée d’un module Actualités de la communauté sur la page d’accueil des nouveaux, les nouvelles options pour la Configuration de la communauté, de nouveaux projets.
- Wikimedia Foundation est désormais un partenaire officiel du programme CVE, un travail international de catalogage des vulnérabilités publiquement dévoilées. Ce partenariat permettra à l’équipe Sécurité de publier instantanément les vulnérabilités et expositions communes (CVE) qui concernent MediaWiki ou ses extensions et habillages, ou d’autres codes auxquels contribue Wikimedia.
- Les Souhaits communautaires testent désormais la traduction automatique des souhaits. Des versions traduites automatiquement des souhaits sont désormais lisibles et discutées avant même qu’une traduction humaine ne soit réalisée.
Rencontres et évènements

Invitation à participer à une recherche
modifierBonjour,
La Wikimedia Foundation mène une enquête auprès des wikipédiens afin de mieux comprendre ce qui incite les administrateurs à contribuer à Wikipédia, et ce qui affecte la rétention des administrateurs. Nous utiliserons ces recherches pour améliorer l'expérience des wikipédiens et répondre aux problèmes et besoins les plus courants. Nous vous avons identifié comme un bon candidat pour cette recherche et nous vous serions très reconnaissants de participer à cette enquête anonyme.
Vous n’avez pas besoin d’être administrateur pour participer.
Cette enquête devrait prendre environ dix à quinze minutes à compléter. Pour en savoir plus sur l'étude, consultez la Meta page et le déclaration de confidentialité.
Veuillez trouver nos coordonnées sur la page Méta du projet si vous avez des questions ou des préoccupations.
Cordialement,
Wikimag n°865 - Semaine 44
modifier Une nouvelle édition du Wikimag est disponible à la lecture.
L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Rémi Venture » est débattue
modifier Bonjour Gz260,
L’article « Rémi Venture » fait l'objet d'un débat d'admissibilité (cf. Wikipédia:Débat d'admissibilité). Il débouchera sur la conservation, la suppression ou la fusion de l'article. Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion:Rémi Venture/Admissibilité.
Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus pour la conservation de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes. Si vous ne pouvez trouver de telles sources, c’est que l’article n’est probablement pas admissible. N’oubliez pas que les principes fondateurs de Wikipédia ne garantissent aucun droit à avoir un article sur Wikipédia.

- Newest database reports: Languages with the most lexemes without senses (using Toolforge tool 'Orthohin')
- Showcase Items: Rembrandt (Q5598) - Dutch painter and printmaker (1606–1669)
- Showcase Lexemes: ਜੀਵਣ/جِیوَݨ (L740318) - 'life' in Punjabi
Development
- Lua: We changed the Wikibase function getAllStatements logic to behave as getBestStatements. When invoked, it was returning mutable direct-values, now it will return a copy of those values (which are immutable). (phab:T270851)
- Wikibase REST API:
- Wikibase REST API is now on version 1!
- We've finished the work on the create Property endpoint so it is now possible to create Properties via the REST API.
- Configuration: We removed 'mainpage' from $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg for Wikidata as requested so translations of the main page are available (phab:T184386)
- mul language code: We moved it to the top of the termbox so labels and aliases in mul are visible first (phab:T371802)
- Revision table size: We are investigating the current state of the revision table of Wikidata's database and what the next steps should be to address its issues.

Actualités pour la contribution technique
- In
1.44.0-wmf-2, the logic of Wikibase functiongetAllStatementschanged to behave likegetBestStatements. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [253] - Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.
En détails
