Tech News: 2024-02[edit]
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- mediawiki2latex is a tool that converts wiki content into the formats of LaTeX, PDF, ODT, and EPUB. The code now runs many times faster due to recent improvements. There is also an optional Docker container you can install on your local machine.
The way that Random pages are selected has been updated. This will slowly reduce the problem of some pages having a lower chance of appearing. [1]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 January. It will be on all wikis from 11 January (calendar). [2][3]

Recent changes
- Pages that use the JSON contentmodel will now use tabs instead of spaces for auto-indentation. This will significantly reduce the page size. [4]
- Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the
requiresES6option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future. [5] - Bot passwords and owner-only OAuth consumers can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages. [6]
- You can now thank edits made by bots. [7]
- An update on the status of the Community Wishlist Survey for 2024 has been published. Please read and give your feedback.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar). [8][9]
- Starting on January 17, it will not be possible to login to Wikimedia wikis from some specific old versions of the Chrome browser (versions 51–66, released between 2016 and 2018). Additionally, users of iOS 12, or Safari on Mac OS 10.14, may need to login to each wiki separately. [10]
- The
jquery.cookiemodule was deprecated and replaced with themediawiki.cookiemodule last year. A script has now been run to replace any remaining uses, and this week the temporary alias will be removed. [11]
Future changes
- Wikimedia Deutschland is working to make reusing references easier. They are looking for people who are interested in participating in individual video calls for user research in January and February.

Module Tincture[edit]
Hi,
I restored previous version on Module:Tincture, as there were errors displayed (instead of tinctures) on all CoA pictures using the template…
Thank you,--Kontributor 2K (talk) 11:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Kontributor 2K, Thank you for fixing that. I corrected my correction and redeployed. It looks like this time I got it right. --Jarekt (talk) 01:07, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for fixing this,
- On the other hand, do you know if someone intends to go on working on the heraldry modules that Sarang has developped ?
- --Kontributor 2K (talk) 16:01, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Kontributor 2K, I dont know of any plans. I am quite unfamiliar with heraldry and needs of supporting software. In this case I was just chipping away at files with Lua errors on Category:Pages with script errors. If you know of anything that needs to be fixed I can look at it. --Jarekt (talk) 01:11, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Well, everything works fine, although there would be details to fix; also, adding new users to the IgenCoa users table (table of CoA drawers) is currently not needed (new users don't come there so often).
The distab function was fixed, which is great. - --Kontributor 2K (talk) 10:51, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
