2024年第27期技術新聞

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他使用者這些變更；不是所有的變更都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的譯文版本。

近期變更

• 在未來三週內，從行動版網頁開始，深色模式將逐步供所有使用者使用，無論登入與否。這實現了社群最迫切的願望之一，並改善低對比環境下的閱讀體驗以及低光環境下的使用。作為這些變更的一部分，深色模式現在可以在使用者頁面和主題頁面使用。詳情請見網頁團隊的最新更新。 [1]
• 已登入使用者現在可以設定字型大小和深色模式的全域偏好設定，感謝基金會各團隊的共同努力。如此，穿梭多個wiki的維基人能夠輕鬆地建立一致的閱讀體驗，例如，只需設定一次即可為所有wiki切換淺色或深色模式。 [2]
• 維基媒體維基上的部分功能將不再兼容老舊的網頁瀏覽器。這將影響Internet Explorer 11以及早於2016年的Chrome、Firefox和Safari版本。這使我們能夠使用新的CSS特性，並向所有讀者傳送更少的代碼。 [3][4]
• 維基百科管理員可以使用社群配置功能，輕鬆自訂本地配置選項。社群配置旨在使社群能夠自訂特定功能的運作方式，以滿足不同語言版本維基的獨特需求。目前，管理員可以在其維基配置Growth功能，以更有效地吸引和留住新編輯者。未來幾個月將提供更多選項。 [5]
• 有興趣探討與Unicode標準相關語言議題的編輯者，現可於MediaWiki.org的新對話空間討論這些話題。維基媒體基金會現已成為Unicode聯盟的會員，協調小組將共同審查討論議題，並適當地傳達給Unicode聯盟。
• 一個新的維基已建立： 曼代靈語維基百科 (w:btm:) [6]

問題

• 在修復錯誤後，編輯者再度能夠在視覺化編輯器中點擊引註預覽中的連結，感謝編輯團隊修復錯誤。 [7]

未來變更

• 邀請您填寫這份簡短問卷調查，協助我們改善技術新聞。本次調查旨在更有效地滿足閱讀技術新聞的各類讀者的需求。本次調查將持續開放兩週。本次調查適用這份隱私聲明。本次調查提供其他語言的翻譯版本。

2024年第29期技術新聞

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他使用者這些變更；不是所有的變更都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的譯文版本。

技術新聞調查

• 邀請您填寫這份簡短問卷調查，協助我們改善技術新聞。本次調查旨在更有效地滿足閱讀技術新聞的各類讀者的需求。本次調查還會開放3天。本次調查適用這份隱私聲明。本次調查提供其他語言的翻譯版本。

近期變更

• 維基媒體開發者現在可以正式繼續使用Gerrit和GitLab，基於維基媒體基金會於6月24日決定支持在這兩個平台共同進行軟體開發。Gerrit和GitLab皆是開發者用來編寫、審查和部署軟體代碼的代碼儲存庫，而這些代碼支撐著MediaWiki——用於建構維基專案，也是編輯者用於創建和改進內容的工具。這項決定將保障開發者們的生產力，並避免code review——代碼審查方面的問題影響使用者。更多詳情請見遷移狀態頁面。
• 維基媒體基金會誠徵產品與技術諮詢委員會（PTAC）申請人。該小組將匯集技術貢獻者與維基媒體基金會，共同開發一個更具彈性、與時俱進的技術平台。委員會成員將對維基媒體運動的產品與技術活動進行評估與諮詢，以便我們開發多代的專案。我們正在尋找來自世界各地具有不同專案經驗的技術貢獻者。請於8月10日前在此申請。
• 持有回退權的編輯者可以在Android版維基百科App使用新的編輯巡查功能。這些功能包括近期變更的新動態、復原和回退等相關連結，以及建立和儲存個人的使用者討論訊息庫以供巡查時使用。如果您所在的wiki希望向沒有回退權但編輯次數達到一定門檻的使用者提供這些功能，您可以聯絡團隊。更多關於此專案，請參閱Diff文章。
• 在基金會進行聯絡溝通後，有權存取維基百科圖書館的編輯者再度能使用SpringerLinks中的非開放存取內容。延伸閱讀上週完成的22個社群提交工單。

本週變更

• 本週，深色模式將供多個維基百科使用，無論桌面版或行動版，使用者登入或未登入。敬請介面管理員和使用者腳本維護人員在深色模式下檢查小工具和使用者腳本，查找任何寫死的顏色並修復它們。有一些深色模式相容性建議可供參考。

未來變更

• 下週，邀請工作人員、志願工具維護者和軟體開發團隊在測試維基上測試臨時帳號功能。臨時帳號功能有助於改善wiki上的隱私保護。目前未有其他進一步的部署安排。歡迎在專案討論頁發表意見和提出疑問。 [8]
• 邀請跨維基上傳檔案或教導他人如此操作的編輯者，參與維基共享資源上的討論。共享資源社群正在討論將能夠透過跨維基上傳功能（或稱上傳對話框）上傳檔案的使用者，限縮為維基共享資源上的自動確認使用者。這是因為透過這種方式上傳的檔案大量侵犯了著作權。Commons:跨維基上傳有簡短摘要，討論位於Commons:互助客棧。

2024年第30期技術新聞

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他使用者這些變更；不是所有的變更都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的譯文版本。

功能週報

• 監管員現在可以對帳號實施全域封鎖。在此變更之前，全域封鎖僅能針對IP位址和IP範圍實施。不同於全域鎖定，全域帳號封鎖不會將被封鎖的使用者登出。全域鎖定不受此變更影響。新的全域帳號封鎖功能與臨時帳號專案有關，這種新型態的使用者帳號用於取代未註冊編輯者的IP位址，使其不再公開可見。
• 本週稍晚，FlaggedRevs（標記修訂，又稱「待審查的變更」）的介面將得到改進，與MediaWiki的其他介面及維基媒體設計系統Codex保持一致。行動裝置和Minerva外觀上的FlaggedRevs介面體驗原本與他處不一致，後經由Growth團隊和一些志願者修復並移植到Codex。 [9]
• 維基媒體網站使用者現在可以透過GlobalVanishRequest提交帳號隱退請求。當貢獻者希望永遠停止編輯時，可以使用此功能。它可以幫您隱藏過去的關聯和編輯，以保護您的隱私。一旦處理完成，該帳號將被鎖定並重新命名。 [10]
• 您試過使用手機監控和應對維基百科中的破壞行為嗎？一篇關於行動應用程式中的巡查功能的Diff文章重點介紹了一些新功能，包括滑動瀏覽近期變更動態以及個人化的使用者討論訊息庫，供使用手機巡查時使用。
• 維基媒體貢獻者和GLAM機構（美術館、圖書館、檔案館及博物館）現在可以使用「共享資源影響力指標」分析面板，了解與衡量維基共享資源對於創建高品質百科全書內容的影響。該面板提供諸如分類每月編輯數、瀏覽量最高的檔案、使用共享資源圖片的維基條目等方面的分析。有了這些新的數據轉儲，GLAM機構可以更精準衡量將內容引入數位共享資源的投資回報率。 [11]

專案近況

• 快來在嶄新重啟的社群願望清單分享您對改善維基的想法。社群願望清單是供志願者分享他們改善維基運作方式的想法（稱為願望）的維基媒體論壇。新版願望清單始終開放，wikitext和視覺化編輯器皆可使用，並允許以任何語言提交願望。

增廣見聞

• 你有沒有想過維基媒體軟體如何支援300多種語言？這比Google Chrome的介面多了253種語言，而這絕非偶然。維基媒體基金會的語言與產品在地化團隊透過調整所有工具和介面，使其適應您的語言和其他語言，為您提供支援。閱讀Diff文章了解更多關於該團隊及其即將開展的工作。
• 維基媒體如何在維護如此頻繁使用的網站之時，同時建構創新和實驗性的產品？維基媒體基金會職員Johan Jönsson近期發表的一篇Diff文章，重點介紹了基金會的「未來受眾」計畫的工作，其目標不是建構完善的產品，而是測試新的想法，例如ChatGPT插件和「加入事實」等，幫助維基媒體走向未來。

2024年第31期技術新聞

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他使用者這些變更；不是所有的變更都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的譯文版本。

功能週報

• 在使用非西式數字的語言（例如印地語、曼尼普爾語和東阿拉伯語）的介面中，視覺化編輯器中的參考編號格式有一些變化。這是子參考功能的準備工作帶來的副作用，並且將使視覺化編輯器中的一些常規編號問題得以修復。如果您所在的wiki有發現任何相關問題，請在專案討論頁提供詳情。

錯誤狀態

• 上週，有一些已登入編輯者短暫無法編輯或載入頁面。這些錯誤主要是由於新增的linter規則導致快取問題。問題已進行修復，調查仍在進行中。
• IP資訊工具可為編輯者提供IP位址的資訊。該測試功能可在偏好設定中啟用。上週，該工具有幾天無法使用，現在已恢復正常。感謝Shizhao回報錯誤。延伸閱讀上週解決的28個社群提交工單。

專案近況

• Phabricator有新功能和改進，由發布工程團隊和協作服務團隊以及一些志願者提供，這些包括：搜尋系統、新工單建立系統、登入系統、翻譯設定——從而支援更多語言（感謝Pppery），以及許多邊緣案例錯誤的修復。閱讀所有改進的摘要。
• Chart專案有近況更新。團隊已決定使用哪個視覺化庫、開始聚焦於哪些Chart圖表類型、在哪裡儲存Chart圖表定義。
• 一個新的維基已建立： 捷克語維基導遊 (voy:cs:) [12]

增廣見聞

• 維基媒體基金會於巴西聖保羅新設資料中心，有助於縮減載入時間。
• 基金會發表新使用者研究，針對圖片上傳流程中的種種問題。

Growth News, July 2024

Community Configuration

The Growth team released Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at Special:CommunityConfiguration.

This new special page replaces Special:EditGrowthConfig. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for AutoModerator (T365046) and other features will be available in the future.

You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation.

If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future!

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

Future work

Increase constructive activation on mobile

As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.

Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.

Stay informed

Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.
