Page proposée au débat d'admissibilité

Bonjour,

L’article « Bonjour ! La Matinale TF1 » 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:Bonjour ! La Matinale TF1/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.

"The paper outlines the collaboration between the National Library of the Czech Republic and Wikimedia since 2006, focusing on linking authority records with Wikipedia articles and training librarians and users. By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata. This partnership has enhanced their cooperation for mutual benefit, identifying key factors for their successful long-term collaboration."

Actualités techniques n° 2025-03

Dernières 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

• Le système de connexion utilisateur unique (SUL) va être mis à jour durant les prochains mois. Il permet aux utilisateurs et utilisatrices d’être connectés sur tous les sites en même temps après avoir renseigné leurs identifiants sur un site Wikimedia. La mise à jour est nécessaire car les navigateurs restreignent de plus en plus les témoins de connexion inter-domaines. Pour s’adapter à ces restrictions, les pages de connexion et de création de compte seront déplacées vers un domaine central, mais cela apparaitra toujours comme si vous étiez sur le wiki d’origine. Le code mis à jour sera activé cette semaine pour les utilisations sur les wikis de test. Ce changement devrait être déployé pour tous durant février et mars. Consultez la page du projet SUL3 pour plus d’informations et un calendrier.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Sur les wikis ayant PageAssessments (évaluation des pages) installée, vous pouvez désormais filtrer les résultats de recherche aux pages dans un projet donné à l’aide du mot-clé inproject:. (Ces wikis : Wikipédia en arabe, Wikipédia en anglais, Wikivoyage en anglais, Wikipédia en français, Wikipédia en hongrois, Wikipédia en népalais, Wikipédia en turc, Wikipédia en chinois.) [1]
• Un nouveau wiki a été créé : une Wikipédia en tigré (w:tig:) [2]
• Voir les 35 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, il y avait un beugue de mise à jour du compteur de modifications de quelqu’un effectuant une annulation d’une autre modification : cela est maintenant corrigé. [3]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Les utilisateurs et utilisatrices de l’API REST de Wikimedia (par exemple pour des robots ou des outils) peuvent être impactés par des mises à jour en cours. À partir de la semaine du 13 janvier, nous commencerons à rediriger certains points terminaux de contenu de page depuis RESTbase vers les nouveaux points terminaux de l’API REST de MediaWiki pour tous les projets wiki. Ce changement était disponible sur testwiki, et ne devrait pas affecter les fonctionnalités existantes, mais les utilisateurs actifs des points terminaux concernés peuvent signaler directement à l’équipe des interfaces de MediaWiki tout problème qui arriverait.
• Les personnes maintenant des outils sur Toolforge peuvent désormais partager leurs retour sur Toolforge UI, un projet visant à fournir une plateforme web pour la création et la gestion d’outils Toolforge depuis une interface graphique, en plus des processus existant par ligne de commande. Ce projet vise à simplifier les tâches des mainteneurs et mainteneuses actifs, ainsi qu’à rendre l’inscription et les procédures de déploiement plus accessibles aux nouveaux et nouvelles créatrices d’outils. Le projet en est encore à ses balbutiements et l’équipe des services en infonuage recueille des retours de la communauté Toolforge pour aiderà concevoir la solution correspondant à leurs besoins. En savoir plus et donner son avis sur Toolforge UI.
• Pour le développement d’outil et bibliothèque qui utilisent le système OAuth : le point terminal d’identité utilisé pour OAuth 1 et OAuth 2 retournait un objet JSON avec un entier dans le sous-champ, ce qui était incorrect (le champ doit toujours être une chaine de caractère); Cela a été corrigé ; le correctif sera déployé sur les wikis Wikimedia la semaine du 13 janvier. [4]
• De nombreux wikis utilisent actuellement le CSS de Cite pour insérer des marqueurs de note de bas de page personnalisés dans la sortie de Parsoid. À partir du 20 janvier, ces règles seront désactivées, mais les développeurs vous demandent de ne pas nettoyer votre MediaWiki:Common.css avant le 20 février pour éviter des problèmes pendant la migration. Vos wikis rencontreront peut-être des petits changements dans les marqueurs de notes de bas page dans l’éditeur visuel ou en utilisant le mode de lecture expérimental Parsoid, mais s’il y a des changements, ils devraient garder le rendu cohérent avec la sortie de l’analyseur classique. [5]

Rencontres et évènements

• Les prochaines réunions de la série des Discussions communautaires entre Wikimedia Foundation et la communauté de Wikimedia Commons aura lieu le 15 janvier à 8 h UTC et à 16 h UTC. Le sujet de cette conférence porte sur la définition des priorités d’investissement en outils pour Commons. Les contributeurs et contributrices de tous les wikis sont les bienvenus pour participer, notamment celles et ceux qui maintiennent des outils pour Commons.

Actualités techniques préparées par les rédacteurs des actualités techniques et postées par robot. Contribuer • Traduire • Obtenir de l’aide • Donner son avis • S’abonner ou se désabonner.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-04

Dernières 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

• Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using Extension:Nuke. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address. [6]
• On wikis that use the Patrolled edits feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as "manually patrolled" instead of "autopatrolled", which is more accurate. Some editors that use filters on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings. [7]
• Voir les 31 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. For example, the Visual Editor's "Insert link" feature did not always suggest existing pages properly when an editor started typing, which has now been fixed.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is being progressively removed from the wikis. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. The last group of wikis (Catalan Wikiquote, Wikimedia Finland, Goan Konkani Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikibooks, Wikimedia Sweden) will soon be contacted. If you have questions about this process, please ping Trizek (WMF) at your wiki. [8]
• The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: updates about services from the Data Platform Engineering teams, information about Codex from the Design System team, and more.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-05

Dernières 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

• Patrollers and admins - what information or context about edits or users could help you to make patroller or admin decisions more quickly or easily? The Wikimedia Foundation wants to hear from you to help guide its upcoming annual plan. Please consider sharing your thoughts on this and 13 other questions to shape the technical direction for next year.

Actualités pour la contribution

• iOS Wikipedia App users worldwide can now access a personalized Year in Review feature, which provides insights based on their reading and editing history on Wikipedia. This project is part of a broader effort to help welcome new readers as they discover and interact with encyclopedic content.
• Edit patrollers now have a new feature available that can highlight potentially problematic new pages. When a page is created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted, a tag ('Recreated') will now be added, which users can filter for in Spécial:Modifications récentes and Spécial:Nouvelles pages. [9]
• Later this week, there will be a new warning for editors if they attempt to create a redirect that links to another redirect (a double redirect). The feature will recommend that they link directly to the second redirect's target page. Thanks to the user SomeRandomDeveloper for this improvement. [10]
• Wikimedia wikis allow WebAuthn-based second factor checks (such as hardware tokens) during login, but the feature is fragile and has very few users. The MediaWiki Platform team is temporarily disabling adding new WebAuthn keys, to avoid interfering with the rollout of SUL3 (single user login version 3). Existing keys are unaffected. [11]
• Voir les 30 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• For developers that use the MediaWiki History dumps: The Data Platform Engineering team has added a couple of new fields to these dumps, to support the Temporary Accounts initiative. If you maintain software that reads those dumps, please review your code and the updated documentation, since the order of the fields in the row will change. There will also be one field rename: in the mediawiki_user_history dump, the anonymous field will be renamed to is_anonymous. The changes will take effect with the next release of the dumps in February. [12]

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• ⚠️ Wikidata Query Service graph split: The graph split is about 2 months away. If you are doing queries that involve scholarly articles or if you have an application that does you will be affected. Please check d:Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split for details.
• We (Peter F. Patel-Schneider and Egezort) want to run a course on the Wikidata Ontology for a limited number of participants. Designed for those already familiar with Wikidata, it will present information about ontologies and how they form the core of Wikidata, incorporating several exercises on analyses of and fixes to the Wikidata ontology. Upon successful completion (ending with a group project in consultation by us), participants will receive certificates. Please give feedback and suggestions to improve the structure and course content (found in more detail at WikiProject:Ontology Course) which will be incorporated into our Wikimedia rapid grant application to support the effort. Interested in helping or want to share your thoughts? Let us know.
• Several database changes will impact Wikidata in the coming months, including the migration of the term store (wbt_ tables) to a dedicated cluster to improve performance and enable future growth. This move will speed up most Wikidata SQL queries but prevent direct joins between term store data and other Wikidata tables. Additionally, the wb_type table will be removed, with its mapping hardcoded in Wikibase, simplifying the codebase. More details.
• Call for projects and mentors for Google Summer of Code 2025! Deadline: February 28th. More info!

Tech News: 2025-06

Latest 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

• Editors who use the "Special characters" editing-toolbar menu can now see the 32 special characters you have used most recently, across editing sessions on that wiki. This change should help make it easier to find the characters you use most often. The feature is in both the 2010 wikitext editor and VisualEditor. [13]
• Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor can now create sublists with correct indentation by selecting the line(s) you want to indent and then clicking the toolbar buttons.[14] You can now also insert <code> tags using a new toolbar button.[15] Thanks to user stjn for these improvements.
• Help is needed to ensure the citation generator works properly on each wiki.
  • (1) Administrators should update the local versions of the page MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json to include entries for preprint, standard, and dataset; Here are example diffs to replicate for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'.
  • (2.1) If the citoid map in the citation template used for these types of references is missing, one will need to be added. (2.2) If the citoid map does exist, the TemplateData will need to be updated to include new field names. Here are example updates for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'. The new fields that may need to be supported are archiveID, identifier, repository, organization, repositoryLocation, committee, and versionNumber. [16]
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Central Kanuri (w:knc:) [17]
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the OCR (optical character recognition) tool used for Wikisource now supports a new language, Church Slavonic. [18]

Tech News: 2025-07

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• The Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) has published a draft of their recommendations for the Wikimedia Foundation's Product and Technology department. They have recommended focusing on mobile experiences, particularly contributions. They request community feedback at the talk page by 21 February.

Updates for editors

• The "Special pages" portlet link will be moved from the "Toolbox" into the "Navigation" section of the main menu's sidebar by default. This change is because the Toolbox is intended for tools relating to the current page, not tools relating to the site, so the link will be more logically and consistently located. To modify this behavior and update CSS styling, administrators can follow the instructions at T385346. [19]
• As part of this year's work around improving the ways readers discover content on the wikis, the Web team will be running an experiment with a small number of readers that displays some suggestions for related or interesting articles within the search bar. Please check out the project page for more information.
• Template editors who use TemplateStyles can now customize output for users with specific accessibility needs by using accessibility related media queries (prefers-reduced-motion, prefers-reduced-transparency, prefers-contrast, and forced-colors). Thanks to user Bawolff for these improvements. [20]
• View all 22 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the global blocks log will now be shown directly on the Spécial:CentralAuth page, similarly to global locks, to simplify the workflows for stewards. [21]

Updates for technical contributors

• Wikidata now supports a special language as a "default for all languages" for labels and aliases. This is to avoid excessive duplication of the same information across many languages. If your Wikidata queries use labels, you may need to update them as some existing labels are getting removed. [22]
• The function getDescription was invoked on every Wiki page read and accounts for ~2.5% of a page's total load time. The calculated value will now be cached, reducing load on Wikimedia servers. [23]
• As part of the RESTBase deprecation effort, the /page/related endpoint has been blocked as of February 6, 2025, and will be removed soon. This timeline was chosen to align with the deprecation schedules for older Android and iOS versions. The stable alternative is the "morelike" action API in MediaWiki, and a migration example is available. The MediaWiki Interfaces team can be contacted for any questions. [24]

In depth

• The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: Updates about the "Contribute" menu; details on some of the newest language editions of Wikipedia; details on new languages supported by the MediaWiki interface; updates on the Community-defined lists feature; and more.
• The latest Chart Project newsletter is available. It includes updates on the progress towards bringing better visibility into global charts usage and support for categorizing pages in the Data namespace on Commons.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-08

Dernières 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 utilisant les outils de croissance peuvent désormais mettre en avant un évènement pour les nouveaux contributeurs sur la Spécial:Accueil de l’espace personnel. Cette fonctionnalité aidera les nouveaux venus à être informés des activités d'édition auxquels ils peuvent participer. Les administrateurs peuvent ajouter un nouvel évènement à mettre en avant sur Spécial:Configuration communautaire. Pour en apprendre davantage sur cette nouvelle fonctionnalité, vous pouvez lire l'annonce sur Diff, la documentation ou contacter l'équipe Croissance.

Actualités pour la contribution

Mise en évidence des améliorations aux pages de discussion

• À partir de la semaine prochaine, les pages de discussions des wikis suivants recevront une nouvelle présentation : Wikipédia en espagnol, Wikipédia en français, Wikipédia en italien, Wikipédia en japonais. Ce changement a été largement testé en tant que fonctionnalité beta et il s'agit de la dernière étape des améliorations aux pages de discussion. [25]
• Vous pouvez désormais visualiser une page de redirection directement depuis ses pages d'action, comme la page d'historique. Auparavant, vous étiez automatiquement redirigé vers la page cible et deviez manuellement revenir à la page de redirection. Ce changement devrait aider les rédacteurs travaillant avec les redirections. Merci à stjn pour cette amélioration. [26]
• Quand une référence est utilisée de nombreuses fois, les wikis affichent actuellement des nombres comme 1.23 ou des marqueurs avec des lettres comme a, b, c dans la liste de références. Avant, quand le nombre de références était trop important et que toutes les lettres avaient été utilisées, un message d'erreur était affiché. Dans le cadre des travaux pour la modernisation de la personnalisation des références, ces erreurs ne seront plus affichées et des marqueurs numériques comme 1.27 seront utilisés par défaut après épuisement des marqueurs alphabétiques.
• Les entrées de journal pour chaque changement aux groupes utilisateur d'un éditeur ont été clarifiés pour indiquer exactement ce qui a été modifié. Elles contenaient auparavant les deux listes des groupes avant et après le changement. Les traducteurs sont invités à aider à traduire les messages système associés. Merci à Msz2001 pour ces améliorations.
• Un nouveau filtre a été ajouté à Spécial:Nuke — outil permettant aux administrateurs de supprimer en masse des pages — pour permettre aux utilisateurs de filtrer les pages en fonction de leur taille en octets. Cela permet par exemple de supprimer uniquement des pages inférieures à une certaine taille. [27]
• Les non-administrateurs peuvent maintenant voir quelles pages peuvent être supprimées à l'aide de Spécial:Nuke. Merci à MolecularPilot pour cette amélioration et les précédentes. [28]
• Voir les 25 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un bug a été corrigé dans la configuration du format de fichier vidéo AV1, ce qui permet à ces fichiers d'être lus à nouveau. [29]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Parsoid Read Views sera déployé sur la plupart des Wiktionnaires dans les prochaines semaines, à la suite de la transition avec succès des Wikivoyage à Parsoid l'année dernière. Pour davantage d'informations, voir la page du projet Parsoid/Parser Unification. [30][31]
• Les développeurs d'outils sur wiki sont informés que mw.Uri est obsolète. Les outils nécessitant mw.Uri doivent déclarer explicitement mediawiki.Uri comme une dépendance de ResourceLoader, et devraient migrer vers l'API URL native du navigateur prochainement. [32]

Actualités techniques n° 2025-10

Dernières 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 utilisateurs et utilisatrices connectés utilisant l’affichage mobile peuvent désormais modifier une page complète. Le lien « Modifier toute la page » est accessible dans le menu « Plus » de la barre d’outils. Ce lien était auparavant disponible uniquement lorsque le mode avancé était activé. [39]
• Les admins d’interface peuvent désormais retirer les utilisations de la classe CSS « mw-ref » de leur MediaWiki:Common.css local. Cette classe de l’extension Cite est obsolète. La liste des wikis l’utilisant peut être trouvée par cette recherche globale et dans cet exemple. D’autres informations sur les manières d’aider sont données sur la page du projet de migration du CSS. Les appels de note ([1]) sont désormais rendus par Parsoid ; le CSS obsolète n’est plus nécessaire. Le CSS pour les rétroliens « mw:referencedBy » doit rester en place pour le moment. Ce nettoyage ne devrait pas avoir d’effet visible pour les lecteurs et lectrices. Merci d’aider à retirer ce code avant le 30 mars, après quoi l’équipe de développement le fera pour vous.
• Lorsque les contributeurs ajoutent un fichier (par exemple [[File:MediaWiki.png]]) sur une page protégée par une protection en cascade, le logiciel ne restreindra plus les modifications à la page de description du fichier, mais uniquement aux nouveaux téléchargements de fichiers. [40] A l’inverse, la transclusion d’une page de description de fichier (par exemple {{:File:MediaWiki.png}}) dans une page protégée en cascade provoquera désormais une restriction des modifications à la page.[41]
• Remettre un fichier dans une version antérieure nécessitera désormais les mêmes autorisations que le téléchargement d'une nouvelle version du fichier. Le logiciel vérifie désormais la possession des droits « reupload » ou « reuplod-own » [42], et respecte la protection en cascade. [43]
• Lorsque les admins listent des pages à supprimer avec l’outil Nuke, ils peuvent désormais également répertorier les pages de discussion associées et les redirections à supprimer, en plus des pages créées par la cible, plutôt que de devoir supprimer manuellement ces pages. [44]
• La mise à jour mentionnée précédemment de la connexion utilisateur unifiée, qui prendra en compte les restrictions du navigateur sur les cookies inter-domaines en déplaçant la connexion et la création de compte vers un domaine central, sera déployée pour tous les utilisateurs et utilisatrices en mars et avril. L'équipe prévoit de l'activer pour toutes les nouvelles créations de compte sur les wikis du groupe 0 cette semaine. Consultez la page du projet SUL3 pour plus de détails et un calendrier mis à jour.
• Depuis la semaine dernière, un bogue cause l'affichage de certaines icônes d'interface sous forme de carrés noirs jusqu'à ce que la page soit entièrement chargée. Cela sera corrigé cette semaine. [45]
• Un nouveau wiki a été créé : une Wikipédia en sylheti (w:syl:) [46]
• Voir les 23 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un bogue avec le chargement d'images dans de très anciennes versions du navigateur Firefox sur mobile a été corrigé. [47]

Actualités pour la contribution

• Les contributeurs qui utilisent des gestionnaires de mots de passe sur plusieurs wikis peuvent remarquer des changements à l’avenir. La manière dont nos wikis fournissent des informations aux gestionnaires de mots de passe sur la réutilisation des mots de passe entre les domaines a été récemment mise à jour, de sorte que certains gestionnaires de mots de passe peuvent maintenant vous proposer des identifiants de connexion que vous avez sauvegardés pour un autre site Wikimedia. Certains gestionnaires de mots de passe l'ont déjà fait, et le font maintenant pour d'autres domaines de Wikimedia. Cela fait partie du projet SUL3 qui vise à améliorer le fonctionnement de notre connexion unifiée et à la rendre compatible avec les changements en cours dans les navigateurs web que nous utilisons. [48][49]
• L'équipe des applications Wikipédia invite les utilisateurs intéressés à contribuer à l'amélioration de l'utilisation de Wikipédia hors ligne ou en internet limité. Après les discussions de Afrika Baraza et la dernière conférence ESEAP, des défis clés comme la recherche, la modification et l'accès hors ligne sont explorés, avec des groupes de discussion à venir pour approfondir ces sujets. Toutes les langues sont les bienvenues et des interprètes seront disponibles. Vous souhaitez partager vos idées ? Participez à la discussion ou envoyez un courriel à aramadan@wikimedia.org !
• Tous les wikis seront en lecture seule pendant quelques minutes le 19 mars, à 14 h UTC. De plus amples informations seront publiées dans les Actualités techniques et seront également publiées sur chaque wiki dans les semaines à venir.
• Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

Tech News: 2025-12

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• Twice a year, around the equinoxes, the Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team performs a datacenter server switchover, redirecting all traffic from one primary server to its backup. This provides reliability in case of a crisis, as we can always fall back on the other datacenter. Thanks to the Listen to Wikipedia tool, you can hear the switchover take place: Before it begins, you'll hear the steady stream of edits; Then, as the system enters a brief read-only phase, the sound stops for a couple of minutes, before resuming after the switchover. You can read more about the background and details of this process on the Diff blog. If you want to keep an ear out for the next server switchover, listen to the wikis on March 19 at 14:00 UTC.

Updates for editors

• The improved Content Translation tool dashboard is now available in 10 Wikipedias and will be available for all Wikipedias soon. With the unified dashboard, desktop users can now: Translate new sections of an article; Discover and access topic-based article suggestion filters (initially available only for mobile device users); Discover and access the Community-defined lists filter, also known as "Collections", from wiki-projects and campaigns.
• On Wikimedia Commons, a new system to select the appropriate file categories has been introduced: if a category has one or more subcategories, users will be able to click on an arrow that will open the subcategories directly within the form, and choose the correct one. The parent category name will always be shown on top, and it will always be possible to come back to it. This should decrease the amount of work for volunteers in fixing/creating new categories. The change is also available on mobile. These changes are part of planned improvements to the UploadWizard.
• The Community Tech team is seeking wikis to join a pilot for the Multiblocks feature and a refreshed Special:Block page in late March. Multiblocks enables administrators to impose multiple different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. If you are an admin or steward and would like us to discuss joining the pilot with your community, please leave a message on the project talk page.
• Starting March 25, the Editing team will test a new feature for Edit Check at 12 Wikipedias: Multi-Check. Half of the newcomers on these wikis will see all Reference Checks during their edit session, while the other half will continue seeing only one. The goal of this test is to see if users are confused or discouraged when shown multiple Reference Checks (when relevant) within a single editing session. At these wikis, the tags used on edits that show References Check will be simplified, as multiple tags could be shown within a single edit. Changes to the tags are documented on Phabricator. [50]
• The Global reminder bot, which is a service for notifying users that their temporary user-rights are about to expire, now supports using the localized name of the user-rights group in the message heading. Translators can see the listing of existing translations and documentation to check if their language needs updating or creation.
• The GlobalPreferences gender setting, which is used for how the software should refer to you in interface messages, now works as expected by overriding the local defaults. [51]
• View all 26 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the Wikipedia App for Android had a bug fixed for when a user is browsing and searching in multiple languages. [52]

Updates for technical contributors

• Later this week, the way that Codex styles are loaded will be changing. There is a small risk that this may result in unstyled interface message boxes on certain pages. User generated content (e.g. templates) is not impacted. Gadgets may be impacted. If you see any issues please report them. See the linked task for details, screenshots, and documentation on how to fix any affected gadgets.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Actualités techniques n° 2025-13

Dernières 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

• La Fondation Wikimédia souhaite recueillir vos commentaires sur les ébauches des objectifs et des résultats-clés qui façonneront les priorités de la Fondation en matière de produits et de technologies pour la prochaine année fiscale (commençant en juillet). Les objectifs sont des domaines généraux et les résultats-clés permettent de mesurer leur réalisation. N'hésitez pas à partager vos commentaires sur la page de discussion, dans n'importe quelle langue, idéalement avant fin avril.

Actualités pour la contribution

• L'extension CampaignEvents sera déployée sur plusieurs wikis (voir le plan de déploiement pour plus de détails) en avril 2025, et l'équipe a commencé le processus d'engagement des communautés sur les wikis identifiés. L'extension fournit des outils pour organiser, gérer et promouvoir des activités collaboratives (comme des événements, des edit-a-thons et des WikiProjects) sur les wikis. L'extension comporte trois outils : Inscription à l'événement, Liste de collaboration et Liste d'invitation. Elle est actuellement présente sur 13 Wikipédias, dont la Wikipédia en anglais, la Wikipédia en français et la Wikipédia en espagnol, ainsi que sur Wikidata. Les questions ou demandes peuvent être adressées sur la page de discussion de l'extension ou sur Phabricator (avec l'étiquette #campaigns-product-team).
• À partir de la semaine du 31 mars, les wikis pourront définir quels groupes d'utilisateurs peuvent voir les inscriptions privées dans Inscription à l'événement, dans le cadre de l'extension CampaignEvents. Par défaut, les organisateurs d'événements et les administrateurs du wiki local pourront voir les inscriptions privées. Il s'agit d'un changement par rapport au réglage actuel qui permet seulement aux organisateurs de l'événement de voir les inscriptions privées. Les wikis peuvent modifier la configuration par défaut en demandant un changement de configuration dans Phabricator (et en ajoutant l'étiquette #campaigns-product-team). Les participants aux événements passés peuvent annuler leur inscription à tout moment.
• Les administrateurs des wikis qui disposent d'une barre latérale MediaWiki:Sidebar personnalisée doivent vérifier si elle contient une entrée pour la liste Pages spéciales. Si ce n'est pas le cas, ils doivent l'ajouter en utilisant * specialpages-url|specialpages. Les wikis disposant d'une barre latérale par défaut verront le lien déplacé de la boîte à outils de la page vers le menu de la barre latérale en avril. [53]
• L'habillage Minerva (web mobile) combine les notifications d'avis et d'alertes dans l'icône de cloche (). Il existait depuis longtemps un bogue qui faisait qu'une indication de nouvelles notifications n'était affichée que si vous aviez des alertes que vous n'avez pas vues. Ce problème est désormais résolu. À l'avenir, les utilisateurs de Minerva remarqueront un compteur au-dessus de l'icône de la cloche lorsque vous avez un ou plusieurs notifications et/ou alertes non vues. [54]
• Voir les 23 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• VisualEditor a introduit un nouveau hook côté client pour les développeurs à utiliser lors de l'intégration avec le cycle de vie de la cible VisualEditor. Ce hook devrait remplacer les hooks existants liés au cycle de vie et être plus cohérent entre les différentes plateformes. De plus, le nouveau hook s'appliquera aux utilisations de VisualEditor en dehors de l'édition complète d'articles, permettant aux gadgets d'interagir avec l'éditeur dans DiscussionTools également. L'équipe d'édition a l'intention de déprécier et éventuellement de supprimer les hooks de l'ancien cycle de vie, donc tous les cas d'utilisation que ce nouveau hook ne couvre pas seraient intéressants pour l'équipe et peuvent être partagés dans la tâche.
• Les développeurs qui utilisent la bibliothèque JavaScript mw.Api peuvent désormais identifier l'outil qui l'utilise avec le paramètre userAgent : var api = new mw.Api( { userAgent: 'GadgetNameHere/1.0.1' } );. Si vous gérez un gadget ou un script utilisateur, veuillez définir un agent utilisateur, car cela facilite la maintenance de la bibliothèque et du serveur et permet de différencier le trafic légitime du trafic illégitime.

L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Liste des comptes TikTok les plus suivis » est débattue

Page proposée au débat d'admissibilité

Bonjour Antoine.b,

L’article « Liste des comptes TikTok les plus suivis ^{(page supprimée)} » 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:Liste des comptes TikTok les plus suivis/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.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-14

Dernières 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

• L'équipe Contribution travaille sur une nouvelle vérification des modifications : le contrôle des éloges. L'objectif de cette vérification est d’identifier les termes non neutres saisis lors de la modification d’une page Wikipédia, afin d’informer l’auteur ou autrice que son texte devrait peut-être être modifié avant publication. Ce projet n’en est qu’à ses débuts ; l’équipe a besoin de l’avis des communautés. Dans cette tâche Phabricator, l’équipe rassemble les recommendations internes des wikis, les modèles utilisés pour étiqueter les articles non neutres et les termes (jargon et mots-clés) utilisés dans les résumés de modification pour les langues étudiées actuellement. Vous pouvez participer en modifiant le tableau sur Phabricator, en commentant la tâche ou en envoyant directement un message à Trizek (WMF).
• La connexion utilisateur unique (SUL) a été mise à jour sur tous les wikis afin de déplacer la connexion et la création de compte vers un domaine central. Cela rend la connexion des contributeurs compatible avec les restrictions des navigateurs sur les cookies inter-domaines, qui ont empêché les utilisateurs de certains navigateurs de rester connectés.
• Voir les 35 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• À partir du 31 mars, l'équipe MediaWiki Interfaces va lancer une version limitée des spécifications OpenAPI générées et une expérience de bac à sable basée sur SwaggerUI pour MediaWiki REST APIs. L'équipe invite les développeurs d'un groupe limité de communautés Wikipédia non anglophones (arabe, allemand, français, hébreu, interlingua, néerlandais, chinois) à consulter la documentation et à expérimenter le bac à sable dans leur langue de choix. En plus de ces projets Wikipédia spécifiques, le bac à sable et la spécification OpenAPI seront disponibles sur la page spéciale test wiki REST Sandbox pour les développeurs dont l'anglais est la langue préférée. Pendant la période de prévisualisation, l'équipe MediaWiki Interfaces invite également les développeurs à partager leur retour d'expérience. L'aperçu durera environ 2 semaines, après quoi le bac à sable et les spécifications OpenAPI seront mis à la disposition de tous les projets wiki.
• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

• Parfois, un petit changement de code d'une ligne peut avoir une grande importance : dans ce cas, cela signifie que pour la première fois depuis des années, nous sommes en mesure de faire fonctionner toute la pile qui sert maps.wikimedia.org - un hôte dédié à servir nos wikis et leurs besoins en cartes multilingues - à partir d'un seul centre de données, ce que nous testons à chaque fois que nous effectuons un basculement de centre de données. C'est important car cela signifie que si l'un de nos centres de données est affecté par une catastrophe, nous serons toujours en mesure de servir le site. Ce changement est le résultat d'un travail intensif de deux développeurs sur le portage du dernier composant de la pile de cartes sur kubernetes, où nous pouvons allouer des ressources plus efficacement qu'auparavant, ce qui nous permet de supporter plus de trafic dans un seul centre de données. Ce travail a nécessité beaucoup d'étapes compliquées car ce logiciel et les bibliothèques logicielles qu'il utilise nécessitaient de nombreuses mises à jour attendues depuis longtemps. Ce type de travail rend l'infrastructure de Wikimedia plus durable.

Rencontres et évènements

• La Conférence des utilisateurs et développeurs de MediaWiki printemps 2025 se déroulera à Sandusky, aux États-Unis, et en ligne, du 14 au 16 mai 2025. La conférence proposera des discussions autour de l'utilisation du logiciel MediaWiki par et au sein d'entreprises de différents secteurs, et inspirera et embarquera de nouveaux utilisateurs. L'inscription et l'enregistrement des présentations sont maintenant disponibles sur le site web de la conférence.

Tech News: 2025-16

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• Later this week, the default thumbnail size will be increased from 220px to 250px. This changes how pages are shown in all wikis and has been requested by some communities for many years, but wasn't previously possible due to technical limitations. [58]
• File thumbnails are now stored in discrete sizes. If a page specifies a thumbnail size that's not among the standard sizes (20, 40, 60, 120, 250, 330, 500, 960), then MediaWiki will pick the closest larger thumbnail size but will tell the browser to downscale it to the requested size. In these cases, nothing will change visually but users might load slightly larger images. If it doesn't matter which thumbnail size is used in a page, please pick one of the standard sizes to avoid the extra in-browser down-scaling step. [59][60]

Updates for editors

• The Wikimedia Foundation are working on a system called Edge Uniques which will enable A/B testing, help protect against Distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is so that they can more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for.
• To improve security for users, a small percentage of logins will now require that the account owner input a one-time password emailed to their account. It is recommended that you check that the email address on your account is set correctly, and that it has been confirmed, and that you have an email set for this purpose. [61]
• "Are you interested in taking a short survey to improve tools used for reviewing or reverting edits on your Wiki?" This question will be asked at 7 wikis starting next week, on Recent Changes and Watchlist pages. The Moderator Tools team wants to know more about activities that involve looking at new edits made to your Wikimedia project, and determining whether they adhere to your project's policies.
• On April 15, the full Wikidata graph will no longer be supported on query.wikidata.org. After this date, scholarly articles will be available through query-scholarly.wikidata.org, while the rest of the data hosted on Wikidata will be available through the query.wikidata.org endpoint. This is part of the scheduled split of the Wikidata Graph, which was announced in September 2024. More information is available on Wikidata.
• The latest quarterly Wikimedia Apps Newsletter is now available. It covers updates, experiments, and improvements made to the Wikipedia mobile apps.
• View all 30 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: an invitation for tool maintainers to attend the Toolforge UI Community Feedback Session on April 15th; recent community metrics; and recent technical blog posts.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Wikimedia Apps newsletter – First quarter of 2025

Hello, and welcome to the first newsletter of 2025! In this edition, we’ll walk you through the exciting updates, experiments, and improvements made to the Wikipedia mobile apps during December, January, and February.

iOS

Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review

We released the improved version of the Year in Review to all users, now available in multiple languages and for both logged-in and logged-out users. While donation rates were lower than our goal, we saw great engagement with the feature & it brought in a higher share of first-time donors and a higher average donation compared to banner campaigns.

Notably:

• 97.4% of survey respondents rated the experience as neutral or better.
• We saw a 74% increase in new accounts, with 368 new editors actively contributing as a result.
• Most users asked for more personalized stats and a better summary of their reading journey.

We’re excited by the results and are already thinking ahead about how to improve it further next year. Want more details? You can check out the full analysis on the project page on MediaWiki.

Alt Text Experiment Wrap-Up

Our 60-day alternative text experiment has ended. While users showed interest in the task, quality was a challenge—especially for newcomers. The experiment helped us understand how we can guide editors better when writing alt text and which improvements to focus on next.

Some key takeaways:

• Completion rates were decent (28% for newer editors), but the quality of the alternative text needed improvement.
• Many users wanted clearer guidance and better context for writing alt text.
• Many users expressed interest in a dedicated feed for image-related tasks.

We’re not making the alternative text suggested edit permanent at this time. If we decided to focus on this task again, we would invest in improved guidance for writing alternative text, and make improvements to the user flow.

Navigation Refresh

We made significant progress in refreshing the app’s navigation. Highlights include:

• A more native iOS feel with system-standard navigation bars.
• New access points for the Profile menu across multiple screens.
• Ongoing A/B testing of a more prominent search bar in articles, available in Arabic, French, German, and Japanese.

We also began tracking where article views come from (e.g., from Places, History, or Explore), which will help us understand user behavior better.

Tabbed Browsing Begins

We kicked off discovery and design work for adding tabs to the iOS app—one of the most requested features! Based on user feedback and inspiration from other apps, we’ve created a prototype and started user testing. Stay tuned as this exciting feature continues to evolve!

Bug Fixes & Developer Contributions

Thanks to volunteer contributions and internal efforts, we fixed several bugs including:

• Search results overlapping with the status bar.
• Crashes while editing specific articles.
• Incorrect day shown in “In the News.”
• Improved handling of italics and language variants.

Android

WikiGames & WikiTrivia

We released the Wikipedia Game to production in German Wikipedia and began work on WikiTrivia using “On this day” content. User feedback from initial testing is helping shape both features.

Private Donor Recognition Experiment

We wrapped up our donor recognition experiment in France and the Netherlands. While overall donations were lower than expected, user feedback was clear:

• 81% of surveyed users want the dashboard to exist on multiple platforms.
• 39% of users who saw the donor icon feature chose to personalize their app icon.
• Many users prefer automatic updates to their donor stats without manual input.

Rabbit Holes

To improve reader retention, we tested two approaches: suggested articles in search and personalized reading lists. Results showed strong engagement:

• 93.3% of feedback was positive or neutral.
• Pageviews were significantly higher for users who engaged with the feature.
• Users preferred reading lists over suggested search results.

Jetpack Compose Migration

We've started migrating our Android layouts to Jetpack Compose to modernize the app and improve performance long-term.

Other Fixes & Enhancements

• Fixed bugs related to offline article loading, push notifications, and language variants.
• Enhanced language support in captions and local language display.

Looking Ahead

From improving editing tasks to adding new ways to discover content and expanding personalization—this quarter was packed with learning and progress. Your feedback continues to shape where we go next.

Make sure you’re subscribe to this newsletter to stay in the loop, and thank you for being a part of this journey with us!

Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia Newsletter #198 is out: Wikifunctions integrated in Dagbani - and Wikifunctions; and the date of Easter

There is a new update for Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions. Please, come and read it!

In this issue, we announce that this week we switched on the ability to call Wikifunctions functions from within Dagbani Wikipedia (our first wiki to do so!), we discuss the functions related to calculating the dates of Easter, and we take a look at the latest software developments.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-17

Dernières 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

• Wikifunctions est désormais intégré à la Wikipédia en dagbani depuis le 15 avril. C'est le premier projet qui pourra appeler des fonctions de Wikifonctions et les intégrer dans des articles. Une fonction est quelque chose qui prend une ou plusieurs entrées et les transforme en un résultat souhaité, comme l'addition de deux nombres, la conversion de miles en mètres, le calcul du temps écoulé depuis un événement, ou la déclinaison d'un mot en une casse. Les Wikifonctions permettront aux utilisateurs de faire cela par un simple appel d'une fonction stable et globale, plutôt que par l'intermédiaire d'un modèle local. [62]
• Un nouveau type d'erreur lint a été créé : Titres vides (documentation). L'objectif de l'extension Linter est d'identifier les éléments de wikitexte qui doivent ou peuvent être corrigés dans les pages et de fournir des conseils sur les problèmes posés par ces éléments et sur la manière de les corriger. [63]
• Voir les 37 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• À la suite de sa publication sur HuggingFace, l'ensemble de données « Structured Contents », développé par Wikimedia Enterprise, est maintenant également disponible sur Kaggle. Cette initiative bêta vise à rendre les données de Wikimedia plus lisibles par les machines pour les réutilisateurs de gros volumes. Cette version bêta est publiée à un emplacement déjà utilisé par les communautés de données ouvertes, afin de recueillir des commentaires qui permettront d'améliorer le produit en vue d'une future diffusion à plus grande échelle. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur le projet Structured Contents, et sur la première version librement utilisable.
• Il n'y a pas de nouvelle version de MediaWiki cette semaine.

Rencontres et évènements

• Les équipes de rédaction et d'apprentissage automatique (Editing and Machine Learning Teams) invitent les bénévoles intéressés à une visioconférence pour discuter de la vérification « peacock » (NdT : litt. « paon » mais également une expression idiomatique pour le langage vaniteux, prétentieux), qui est la dernière vérification de modification qui détectera le langage « trop promotionnel » ou « non neutre » pendant qu'un rédacteur est en train de taper. Les rédacteurs qui travaillent avec les nouveaux arrivants, ou qui aident à corriger ce type d'écriture, ou qui sont intéressés par la manière dont nous utilisons l'intelligence artificielle dans nos projets, sont invités à participer à cette réunion. La réunion aura lieu le 28 avril 2025 à 18:00-19:00 UTC et sera hébergée sur Zoom.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-19

Dernières 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

• La Wikimedia Foundation a partagé le dernier projet de mise à jour de son plan annuel pour l'année prochaine (juillet 2025-juin 2026). Cela comprend un résumé exécutif (également sur Diff), des détails sur les trois principaux objectifs (Infrastructure, Soutien aux bénévoles et Efficacité), tendances mondiales, ainsi que le budget et le modèle financier. Les réactions et les questions sont les bienvenues sur la page de discussion jusqu'à la fin du mois de mai.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Pour les wikis qui ont l'extension CampaignEvents activée, deux nouvelles améliorations de fonctionnalités ont été publiées :
  • Les administrateurs peuvent désormais choisir les espaces de noms autorisés pour Inscription à un événement via Configuration de la communauté (documentation). Par défaut, l'enregistrement d'un événement est autorisé dans l'espace de noms Event, mais d'autres espaces de noms (tels que l'espace de noms du projet ou l'espace de noms WikiProject) peuvent désormais être ajoutés. Grâce à cette modification, les communautés telles que les WikiProjets peuvent désormais utiliser plus facilement l'enregistrement d'événements pour leurs activités collaboratives.
  • Les éditeurs peuvent désormais transclure la liste de collaboration sur une page wiki (documentation). La liste de collaboration est une liste automatisée d'événements et de wikiprojets sur les wikis, accessible via Spécial:AllEvents (exemple). Désormais, la liste de collaboration peut être ajoutée à toutes sortes de pages wiki, telles que : une page principale wiki, une page WikiProjet, une page d'affiliation, une page d'événement, ou même une page d'utilisateur.
• Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Les développeurs qui utilisent la bibliothèque moment dans les gadgets et les scripts utilisateur doivent réviser leur code pour utiliser des alternatives comme la bibliothèque Intl ou la nouvelle bibliothèque mediawiki.DateFormatter. La bibliothèque moment a été dépréciée et commencera à enregistrer des messages dans la console du développeur. Vous pouvez voir une recherche globale pour les utilisations actuelles, et posez des questions connexes dans cette tâche Phabricator.
• Les développeurs qui maintiennent un outil qui interroge les tables de stockage de termes de Wikidata (wbt_*) doivent mettre à jour leur code pour se connecter à une grappe de base de données séparée. Ces tables sont réparties dans une grappe de base de données distincte. Les outils qui interrogent ces tables via les répliques du wiki doivent être adaptés pour se connecter à la nouvelle grappe. La documentation et des liens connexes sont à votre disposition. [64]
• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

• La dernière lettre d’information du projet Chart est disponible. Il comprend des mises à jour sur la préparation de l'extension du déploiement à d'autres wikis dès cette semaine (à partir du 6 mai) et sur la mise à l'échelle au cours des semaines suivantes, ainsi que sur l'exploration du filtrage et de la transformation des données sources.

Tool of the week

• Wdactle game -- is a Wikidata version of Redactle! It's a game where you are shown a Wikidata Item with all labels and words redacted and have to figure out what it is. Guessing a word reveals all the places where it is used. Built by Luca Werkmeister during the Wikimedia Hackathon 2025.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• ⚠️ Wikidata Query Service graph split: As you know Wikidata Query Service was no longer able to handle the complete set of data Wikidata has. To address this the graph in Wikidata Query Service has now been split into a main graph (that continues to be at query.wikidata.org) and a scholarly graph (that is at query-scholarly.wikidata.org). For more details please see Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split.
• Join the Wikidata:Impact stories global campiagn. We're celebrating the amazing Wikidata community - editors, developers, librarians, and creators - and inviting you to share how Wikidata is used.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-20

Dernières 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

• Le lien « Obtenir une URL raccourcie » dans la barre latérale inclut désormais un code QR. Les utilisateurs des sites Wikimedia peuvent maintenant l’utiliser en le scannant ou en le téléchargeant pour partager et accéder rapidement au contenu partagé des sites Wikimedia, de manière pratique.

Actualités pour la contribution

• La Wikimedia Foundation travaille sur un système appelé « Edge Uniques », qui permettra de réaliser des tests A/B, d’aider à se protéger contre les attaques par déni de service distribué (attaques DDoS), et de mieux comprendre combien de visiteurs les sites Wikimedia reçoivent. Cela vise à construire plus efficacement des outils utiles aux lecteurs, et de les aider à trouver ce qu'ils cherchent. Les Actualités techniques en ont déjà parlé. Le déploiement sera progressif. Certains pourraient voir le cookie « Edge Uniques » à partir de la semaine du 19 mai. Vous pouvez en discuter sur la page de discussion.
• À partir du 19 mai 2025, les organisateurs d’événements sur les wikis disposant de l’extension « CampaignEvents » pourront utiliser l’inscription aux événements dans l’espace de noms du projet (par exemple, l’espace Wikipédia, l’espace Wikidata). Avec ce changement, les communautés n’ont plus besoin d’administrateurs pour utiliser cette fonctionnalité. Toutefois, les wikis qui ne souhaitent pas ce changement peuvent retirer et ajouter les espaces de noms autorisés sur Special:CommunityConfiguration/CampaignEvents.
• Le projet Wikipédia dispose désormais d’un Wikipédia en nupe (w:nup:). Il s’agit d’une langue principalement parlée dans la région du centre-nord du Nigeria. Les locuteurs de cette langue sont invités à contribuer à la nouvelle Wikipédia.
• Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Les développeurs peuvent désormais accéder à la Wikipédia néerlandaise pré-analysée, parmi d’autres (anglais, allemand, français, espagnol, italien et portugais), via les instantanés « Structured Contents » (bêta). Le contenu comprend des résumés Wikipédia analysés, des descriptions, des images principales, des infoboxes, des sections d’articles et des références.
• Le point de terminaison de l’API REST /page/data-parsoid n’est plus utilisé et sera obsolète. Il est prévu qu’il soit désactivé le 7 juin 2025.
• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

• Le support IPv6 est un nouveau réseau virtuel Cloud qui améliore considérablement l’évolutivité, la sécurité et la préparation des plateformes Wikimedia pour l’avenir. Si vous êtes un contributeur technique curieux d’en savoir plus, consultez ce billet de blogue pour un aperçu détaillé de la transition vers l’IPv6.

Rencontres et évènements

• La deuxième édition de 2025 de « Afrika Baraza », une plateforme virtuelle permettant aux Wikimédiens africains de se connecter, aura lieu le 15 mai à 17 h UTC. Cette édition sera axée sur des discussions concernant la planification annuelle et les avancées de Wikimedia.
• La « MENA Connect Community Call », une réunion virtuelle permettant aux Wikimédiens de la région Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord (MENA) de se rencontrer, aura lieu le 17 mai à 17 h UTC. Vous pouvez vous inscrire dès maintenant pour y assister.

Tech News: 2025-21

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: Peacock 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 Peacock language model for the following languages: Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Japanese. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org. The deadline to sign up is on May 23, which will be the start date of the test.

Updates for editors

• From May 20, 2025, oversighters and checkusers will need to have their accounts secured with two-factor authentication (2FA) to be able to use their advanced rights. All users who belong to these two groups and do not have 2FA enabled have been informed. In the future, this requirement may be extended to other users with advanced rights. Learn more.
• Multiblocks will begin mass deployment by the end of the month: all non-Wikipedia projects plus Catalan Wikipedia will adopt Multiblocks in the week of May 26, while all other Wikipedias will adopt it in the week of June 2. Please contact the team if you have concerns. Administrators can test the new user interface now on your own wiki by browsing to Spécial:Bloquer?usecodex=1, and can test the full multiblocks functionality on testwiki. Multiblocks is the feature that makes it possible for administrators to impose different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. See the help page for more information. [65]
• Later this week, the Spécial:Pages spéciales listing of almost all special pages will be updated with a new design. This page has been redesigned to improve the user experience in a few ways, including: The ability to search for names and aliases of the special pages, sorting, more visible marking of restricted special pages, and a more mobile-friendly look. The new version can be previewed at Beta Cluster now, and feedback shared in the task. [66]
• The Chart extension is being enabled on more wikis. For a detailed list of when the extension will be enabled on your wiki, please read the deployment timeline.
• Wikifunctions will be deployed on May 27 on five Wiktionaries: Hausa, Igbo, Bengali, Malayalam, and Dhivehi/Maldivian. This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call functions from Wikifunctions and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of a stable and global function, rather than via a local template.
• Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for experiments. This is to showcase and get user feedback on product experiments. The experiments help the Wikimedia movement understand new users, how they interact with the internet and how it could affect the Wikimedia movement. Some examples are generated video, the Wikipedia Roblox speedrun game and the Discord bot.
• View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with creating an account using the API, which has now been fixed. [67]

Updates for technical contributors

• Gadgets and user scripts that interact with Spécial:Bloquer may need to be updated to work with the new manage blocks interface. Please review the developer guide for more information. If you need help or are unable to adapt your script to the new interface, please let the team know on the talk page. [68]
• The mw.title object allows you to get information about a specific wiki page in the Lua programming language. Starting this week, a new property will be added to the object, named isDisambiguationPage. This property allows you to check if a page is a disambiguation page, without the need to write a custom function. [69]
• User script developers can use a new reverse proxy tool to load javascript and css from gitlab.wikimedia.org with mw.loader.load. The tool's author hopes this will enable collaborative development workflows for user scripts including linting, unit tests, code generation, and code review on gitlab.wikimedia.org without a separate copy-and-paste step to publish scripts to a Wikimedia wiki for integration and acceptance testing. See Tool:Gitlab-content on Wikitech for more information.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• The 12th edition of Wiki Workshop 2025, a forum that brings together researchers that explore all aspects of Wikimedia projects, will be held virtually on 21-22 May. Researchers can register now.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-22

Dernières 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

• Une discussion communautaire à l’échelle du mouvement est désormais ouverte sur Meta au sujet d’un point très délicat pour le développement de « Abstract Wikipedia » : où stocker le contenu abstrait qui sera développé à partir des fonctions de Wikifunctions et des données de Wikidata. La discussion est ouverte jusqu’au 12 juin sur Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content, et tous les avis sont les bienvenus. La décision sera prise et communiquée par la Fondation à l’issue de la période de consultation.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Depuis la semaine dernière, sur tous les wikis excepté les vingt plus grands, les utilisateurs de l’éditeur visuel mobile disposent de nouveaux outils dans la barre de menu, accessibles via le nouveau bouton de la barre d’outils +. Pour commencer, le nouveau menu proposera des options pour ajouter : des références, des hiéroglyphes et des blocs de code. Le déploiement sur les autres wikis est prévu pour le mois de juin.
• La fonction d’analyse #ifexist ne créera plus de lien vers sa page cible. Cela améliorera l’utilité de Spécial:Pages demandées, qui ne listera à terme que les pages réellement ciblées par un lien rouge. Ce changement se fera progressivement à mesure que les pages sources seront mises à jour. [70]
• Cette semaine, l’équipe des outils de modération va lancer un nouveau filtre dans les modifications récentes, en commençant par la Wikipédia en indonésien. Ce nouveau filtre met en évidence les modifications susceptibles d’être annulées. L’objectif est d’aider les patrouilleurs des modifications récentes à repérer les contributions potentiellement problématiques. D’autres wikis bénéficieront de ce filtre à l’avenir.
• Lorsqu’ils cliquent sur une barre de recherche vide, les utilisateurs non connectés verront des suggestions d’articles à lire. Cette fonctionnalité sera disponible à la fois sur ordinateur et sur mobile. Les lecteurs des Wikipédias en catalan, hébreu et italien ainsi que de certains projets frères recevront ce changement entre le 21 mai et la mi-juin. Les lecteurs des autres wikis le recevront plus tard. L’objectif est d’encourager les utilisateurs à lire davantage les wikis. En savoir plus.
• Certains utilisateurs de l’application Wikipédia sur Android peuvent utiliser une nouvelle fonctionnalité destinée aux lecteurs : « WikiGames », un jeu quotidien de quiz basé sur des événements historiques réels. Le déploiement a commencé sous forme de test A/B, disponible pour 50 % des utilisateurs dans les langues suivantes : anglais, français, portugais, russe, espagnol, arabe, chinois et turc.
• L’extension « Newsletter » disponible sur MediaWiki.org permet la création de divers bulletins d’information à destination des utilisateurs de tous les wikis. L’extension peut désormais publier de nouveaux numéros sous forme de liens vers des sections sur une page existante, au lieu de nécessiter une nouvelle page pour chaque numéro. [71]
• Voir les 32 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Les champs ipblocks, précédemment déclarés obsolètes, seront supprimés début juin dans les Wiki Replicas. Il est recommandé aux utilisateurs d’interroger les nouveaux champs block et block_target à la place.
• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Rencontres et évènements

• « Wikidata et les projets frères » est un événement en ligne de plusieurs jours qui portera sur l’intégration de Wikidata à Wikipédia et aux autres projets Wikimedia. L’événement se déroulera du 29 mai au 1^er juin. Vous pouvez consulter le programme et vous inscrire.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-23

Dernières 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'extension Chart est maintenant disponible sur tous les wikis Wikimedia. Les éditeurs peuvent utiliser cette nouvelle extension pour créer des visualisations de données interactives comme des diagrammes à barres, à lignes, avec des zones, et circulaires. Chart a été créée pour remplacer la plupart des utilisations de l'ancienne extension Graph.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Il est maintenant plus simple de configurer les citations automatiques pour votre wiki dans le générateur de citations de l'éditeur visuel. Les administrateurs peuvent maintenant définir un modèle par défaut en utilisant la clé _default dans la page locale MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json (exemple de modification). Définir ce réglage par défaut permettra aussi de pérenniser vos configurations existantes lorsque de nouveaux types d'objets seront ajoutés à l'avenir. Vous pouvez toujours définir des modèles pour des types d'objets individuels et ils seront prioritaires par rapport au modèle par défaut. [72]
• Voir les 20 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• À partir de la semaine du 2 juin, les robots qui utilisent action=login ou action=clientlogin pour s'authentifier auront un taux d'échec plus fréquent. Cela est dû à des protections plus fortes contre les connexions suspectes. Les robots qui utilisent des mots de passe de robots ou une authentification sans connexion telle que OAuth ne seront pas affectés. Si votre bot n'utilise aucun des deux, vous devriez le mettre à jour ; utiliser action=login sans un mot de passe de robot a été rendu désuet en 2016. Pour la plupart des robots, cela nécessite seulement de changer quel mot de passe ce dernier utilise. [73]
• À partir de cette semaine, les wikis Wikimedia permettront des fonctionnalités ES2017 dans le code JavaScript pour le code officiel, les gadgets et les scripts utilisateurs. La fonctionnalité la plus visible d'ES2017 est la syntaxe async/await, ce qui permet un code plus facile à lire. Jusqu'à cette semaine, la plateforme ne permettait que jusqu'à ES2016, et quelques mois plus tôt, jusqu'à ES2015. [74]
• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Rencontres et évènements

• Les demandes de bourse d'études pour participer à la conférence GLAM 2025 sont maintenant ouvertes. La conférence aura lieu du 30 octobre au 1er novembre, à Lisbonne, au Portugal. Les contributeurs GLAM qui n'ont pas les moyens de financer leur participation peuvent faire une demande ici. La date limite de candidature est le 7 juin.

Annulation sur Wikipédia:Demande de suppression immédiate

Désolé, j'ai annulé plus vite que mon ombre sur le coup, mais vu le titre des pages (qui sont maintenant supprimées), je pense qu'il vaut mieux masquer 🐾 tiloudeux ^{(on papote ?)} 6 juin 2025 à 15:10 (CEST)

Bonjour @Tiloudeux, je vous remercie d'avoir masqué mes demandes de suppression de pages car ces pages m'ont énormément choqué (je suis quelqu'un d'hyper sensible émotionnellement), si j'avais été administrateur j'aurais supprimé immédiatement ces pages, donc pas besoin de les signaler sur WP:SI, bon week-end à vous Antoine.b (discuter) 6 juin 2025 à 15:26 (CEST)

Actualités techniques n° 2025-24

Dernières 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 produits Confiance et sûreté finalise les travaux nécessaires au déploiement des comptes temporaires sur les grandes Wikipédias plus tard ce mois-ci. L’équipe a collaboré avec les stewards et d’autres utilisateurs disposant de droits étendus afin d’anticiper et de traiter de nombreux cas d’usage qui pourraient se présenter sur les wikis de grande taille, afin que les membres des communautés puissent continuer à modérer et à patrouiller efficacement les comptes temporaires. Il s’agira de la deuxième des trois phases de déploiement ; la dernière aura lieu en septembre au plus tôt. Pour plus d’informations sur les développements récents du projet, voir cette mise à jour. Si vous avez des commentaires ou des questions, écrivez sur la page de discussion et rejoignez un « CEE Catch Up » ce mardi.

Actualités pour la contribution

• La fonctionnalité « expiration de la liste de suivi » permet aux contributeurs de suivre des pages pendant une durée limitée. Une fois ce délai écoulé, la page est automatiquement retirée de votre liste de suivi. À partir de cette semaine, vous pouvez définir une préférence pour la durée par défaut pendant laquelle vous souhaitez suivre les pages. Les préférences permettent également de définir différentes durées par défaut selon que vous modifiez une page existante, que vous en créez une nouvelle ou que vous utilisez l’annulation rapide (rollback). [75]

Exemple d'une page de discussion avec les améliorations, en français.

• L’apparence des pages de discussion va changer sur la quasi-totalité des Wikipédias (certaines ont déjà reçu ce nouveau design, quelques-unes le recevront plus tard). Vous pouvez lire les détails concernant ces changements sur Diff. Il est possible de désactiver ces modifications dans les préférences utilisateur (« Afficher l’activité de la discussion »). [76][77]
• Les utilisateurs disposant de certains droits étendus (y compris les administrateurs, bureaucrates, vérificateurs, masqueurs et stewards) peuvent désormais voir les adresses IP de tous les comptes temporaires révélées automatiquement pendant des périodes limitées, lorsqu’ils doivent lutter contre du vandalisme rapide impliquant des changements fréquents de compte. Cette fonctionnalité a été demandée par les stewards. [78]
• Cette semaine, les équipes des outils de modération et d’apprentissage automatique poursuivent le déploiement d’un nouveau filtre dans les Modifications récentes, en l’étendant à plusieurs autres Wikipédias. Ce filtre utilise le modèle « Revert Risk », développé par l’équipe de recherche, pour mettre en évidence les modifications susceptibles d’être annulées et aider les patrouilleurs à repérer les contributions potentiellement problématiques. La fonctionnalité sera déployée sur les Wikipédias suivantes : Wikipédia en afrikaans, Wikipédia en biélorusse, Wikipédia en bengali, Wikipédia en gallois, Wikipédia en hawaïen, Wikipédia en islandais, Wikipédia en kazakh, Wikipédia en anglais simplifié, Wikipédia en turc. Le déploiement se poursuivra dans les semaines à venir pour inclure le reste des Wikipédias concernées par ce projet. [79]
• Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Les éditeurs de filtres anti-abus actifs sur Meta-Wiki et les grandes Wikipédias sont priés de mettre à jour les filtres pour les rendre compatibles avec les comptes temporaires. Un lien vers les instructions ainsi que vers les listes privées des filtres à vérifier est disponible sur Phabricator.
• Les modules Lua ont désormais accès au nom de l’image miniature associée à une page, et sur certains wikis, aux informations d’évaluation des WikiProjets. Cela est possible grâce à deux nouvelles propriétés des objets mw.title, nommées pageImage et pageAssessments. [80][81]

Actualités techniques n° 2025-26

Dernières 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

• Cette semaine, les équipes des outils de modération et d'apprentissage automatique poursuivront le déploiement d'un nouveau filtre pour les modifications récentes, le lançant à la troisième et dernière série de Wikipédia. Ce filtre utilise le modèle de risque de réversion, qui a été créé par l'équipe de recherche, pour mettre en avant les modifications susceptibles d'être annulées et aider les patrouilleurs des modifications récentes à identifier les contributions potentiellement problématiques. La fonctionnalité sera déployée sur les Wikipédias suivantes : Wikipédia en azéri, Wikipédia en latin, Wikipédia en macédonien, Wikipédia en malayalam, Wikipédia en marathe, Wikipédia en norvégien nynorsk, Wikipédia en pendjabi, Wikipédia en swahili, Wikipédia en télougou, Wikipédia en tagalog. Le déploiement se poursuivra dans les semaines à venir pour inclure le reste des Wikipédias de ce projet. [82]

Actualités pour la contribution

• La semaine dernière, des comptes temporaires ont été déployés sur les Wikipédias tchèque, coréenne et turque. Cette semaine et la semaine prochaine, des déploiements sur des Wikipédias plus importantes suivront. Partagez vos pensées sur le projet. [83]
• Plus tard cette semaine, l'équipe d'Édition publiera Multi Check sur toutes les Wikipédias (à l'exception de la Wikipédia en anglais). Cette fonctionnalité affiche plusieurs vérifications de références dans l'interface d'édition. Elle encourage les utilisateurs à ajouter des citations lorsqu'ils ajoutent plusieurs nouveaux paragraphes à un article Wikipédia. Cette fonctionnalité était auparavant disponible en tant que test A/B. Le test montre que les utilisateurs qui voient plusieurs vérifications sont 1,3 fois plus susceptibles d'ajouter une référence à leur modification, et que leur modification est moins susceptible d'être annulée (-34,7 %). [84]
• Quelques pages doivent être renommées en raison de mises à jour logicielles et pour correspondre à des normes Unicode plus récentes. Tous ces changements sont liés aux modifications de la capitalisation des titres. Environ 71 pages et 3 fichiers seront renommés, sur 15 wikis ; la liste complète se trouve dans la tâche. Les développeurs renommeront ces pages la semaine prochaine, et ils corrigeront les redirections et les liens de fichiers intégrés quelques minutes plus tard via une mise à jour des paramètres système.
• Voir les 24 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un bug qui avait fait défiler les pages vers le haut lorsque du texte près du haut était sélectionné a été corrigé. [85]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Les éditeurs peuvent désormais utiliser des modules Lua pour filtrer et transformer des données tabulaires à utiliser avec Extension:Chart. Cela peut être utilisé pour des choses comme sélectionner un sous-ensemble de lignes ou de colonnes à partir des données sources, convertir entre des unités, le traitement statistique et de nombreuses autres transformations utiles. Des informations sur la façon d'utiliser les transformations sont disponibles. [86]
• La variable all_links dans AbuseFilter a été renommée new_links pour plus de cohérence avec les autres variables. Les anciennes utilisations continueront de fonctionner. [87]
• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

• Le dernier bulletin de croissance trimestriel est disponible. Il contient : les mises à jour récentes pour la tâche "Ajouter un lien", deux nouvelles fonctionnalités d'engagement des nouveaux arrivants et des mises à jour de la configuration de la communauté.

L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Liste des chaînes de Canal+ (France) » est débattue

Page proposée au débat d'admissibilité

Bonjour Antoine.b,

L’article « Liste des chaînes de Canal+ (France) ^{(page supprimée)} » 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:Liste des chaînes de Canal+ (France)/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.

Dernières 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

• La extension CampaignEvents a été activée sur toutes les Wikipédias. L'extension facilite l'organisation et la participation à des activités collaboratives, telles que les edit-a-thons et les WikiProjects, sur les wikis. L'extension a trois fonctionnalités : Inscription à un événement, Liste de collaboration, et Liste d'invitation. Pour demander l'extension pour votre wiki, visitez la page d'information sur le déploiement.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Les mainteneurs des filtres de abus peuvent maintenant faire correspondre avec les données de réputation IP dans Filtres d'abus. Les données de réputation IP sont des informations sur les proxys et les VPN associés à l'adresse IP de l'utilisateur. Ces données ne sont pas affichées publiquement et ne sont pas générées pour les actions effectuées par des comptes enregistrés. [88]
• Le contenu caché qui se trouve dans des parties réductibles des pages wiki sera désormais révélé lorsqu'une personne recherche la page en utilisant la fonction « Rechercher dans la page » du navigateur Web (Ctrl+F ou ⌘F) dans les navigateurs compatibles. [89][90]
• Une nouvelle fonctionnalité, appelée Modèles favoris, sera déployée plus tard cette semaine sur tous les projets (sauf la Wikipédia en anglais, qui recevra la fonctionnalité la semaine prochaine), suite à une phase de test sur les Wikipédias polonaise et arabe, et sur les Wikisource italien et anglais. Cette fonctionnalité offrira une meilleure façon pour les contributeurs nouveaux et expérimentés de se souvenir et de découvrir des modèles via la boîte de dialogue des modèles, en permettant aux utilisateurs de mettre des modèles sur une "liste de favoris" spéciale. La fonctionnalité fonctionne à la fois avec l'éditeur visuel et l'éditeur wikitext. Cette fonctionnalité est un domaine d'intérêt de la wishlist de la communauté.
• Voir les 31 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un bug a été corrigé qui avait causé l'envoi de certaines notifications plusieurs fois. [91]

Le navigateur permettra aux utilisateurs de parcourir une liste de modèles qui ont été organisés dans un arbre de catégories donné. La fonctionnalité a été demandée par la communauté à travers la liste de souhaits de la communauté.
• Il est désormais possible d'accéder aux préférences de la liste de surveillance depuis la page de la liste de surveillance. De plus, le bouton redondant pour modifier la liste de surveillance a été retiré. [94]
• Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Wikimedia Apps newsletter – Second quarter of 2025

Hello, and welcome to the second newsletter of 2025! In this edition, we’ll walk you through exciting experiments, features, and improvements that took place in the Wikipedia mobile apps during March, April, and May.

iOS

Tabbed Browsing Work Begins

Tabbed browsing is one of the most requested features, and we’ve made major progress this quarter:

• We finalized the designs for tabs and released the feature to Beta.
• An A/B test is planned in select languages and regions before a broader release.
• Usability testing results helped shape the experience. See our full testing analysis and interface feedback recommendations.

Activity Tab Experiment

We launched a 30-day experiment on Chinese, French, Spanish, and Turkish Wikipedias to explore whether a centralized "Activity" space could increase user engagement.

The experiment shows the Suggested Edit “Add an image” feature to newcomers, and we hope to learn if it helps them activate and begin editing. We also hope to learn what users think about an early “Activity tab” prototype that summarizes their weekly editing, reading, and saving activity.

We’ll evaluate outcomes after 30 days.

Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review

We began backend improvements to support the next version of the Year in Review:

• The 2024 version showed strong engagement. We’re planning to integrate improved stats, collective movement insights, and recognition for donors.
• We added support for insights about reading time, link follows, and categories.

Navigation Refresh & Article Search A/B Test

We completed our test of a more prominent article search bar on four Wikipedias—French, Arabic, German, and Japanese.

• The A/B test showed a +23.8% increase in article-view search usage.
• While retention didn't shift significantly, the test gave us confidence to scale this UI improvement to all languages.

Temporary Accounts Support

We released support for Temporary Accounts to Wikipedias where the feature is currently enabled. This helps protect IP addresses of unregistered editors.

Bug Fixes & Enhancements

Thanks to internal and volunteer efforts, we resolved:

• Incorrect date formats on Talk pages
• Alt Text keyboard overlap
• Inactive cursor on search
• Broken insert-link suggestions

Android

WikiGames & WikiTrivia Expansion

We expanded WikiGames and continued work on WikiTrivia:

• New enhancements: game archive, calendar view, score sharing, sound control to the game.
• 81.5% of players complete the game, and over half replay it on another day.
• Bug fixes include language mismatches and game crashes.

Jetpack Compose Migration

We continued migrating our UI to Jetpack Compose, including:

• MessageCardView
• LangLinksActivity
• SearchEmptyView
• WikiCardView and more

This helps modernize the app and improves long-term performance.

Rabbit Holes & Personalized Reading Lists

We completed our Rabbit Holes experiment, and began work on a permanent version of Personalized Reading Lists, tracked in this Epic ticket.

Early designs aim to make suggested reading lists more useful, personalizable, and persistent.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

We addressed:

• Talk page crashes
• Search-related language issues
• OATHAuth hyperlink bug
• On This Day incorrect year
• Samsung Galaxy S25 editing toolbar bug
• UI bugs with Picture of the Day
• Language display issues

Other Updates

• A 50-edit requirement was added to use Article Descriptions on English Wikipedia.
• We fixed pageview analytics and updated reading list icons.

Looking Ahead

From long-requested features like tabbed browsing to smarter personalization and more engaging games, this quarter was packed with progress. Your feedback continues to guide our path forward.

Make sure you’re subscribed to this newsletter to stay in the loop — and thank you for being part of the journey!

• Mobile statement editing: We are working on formatting references, qualifiers, various data types and multiple statements for one property. We are planning to enable the new mobile UI on Beta Wikidata soon. Important: For now it is a read-only UI, as we have not started to implement editing yet, and some data types won’t have the correct appearance yet.

Tech News: 2025-30

Latest 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 Translation Suggestions feature in the Content Translation tool now has another level of article filters added to the "... More" category. Translators who use the Suggestions feature can now select and receive article suggestions that are customized to geographical locations of their interest using the new "Régions" filter. [98]
• Administrators can now limit "Add a Link" to newcomers. The "Add a Link" Structured Task helps new account holders start editing, but some communities have requested the ability to restrict it to its intended audience: newcomers. Administrators can configure this setting within the Community Configuration feature.
• View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• For AbuseFilter editors on some wikis, it is now possible to filter edits based on the RevertRisk score of the edit being attempted. It is only populated if the action being evaluated is an edit. For more information, please see the ORES/AbuseFilter variables documentation.
• The Beta Cluster wikis have been moved from beta.wmflabs.org to beta.wmcloud.org. Users may need to update URLs in any tools, or in their password managers. Any related issues can be reported in the task.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• WikiCite 2025 will take place from 29–31 August, both online and in-person in Bern, Switzerland. The event's goals are to reconnect communities, institutions, and individuals working with open citations, bibliographic data, and the Wikidata/Wikibase ecosystem. Registration is open and the call for proposals will be announced soon. [99]

Actualités techniques n° 2025-32

Dernières 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 contributeurs peuvent désormais activer les cartouches d’infos utilisateur. Cette fonctionnalité ajoute une icône à côté des noms utilisateur sur les pages d’historique et autres pages listant des contributions. Lorsque vous appuyez ou cliquez sur l’icône, elle affiche les données concernant ce compte utilisateur telles que le nombre de modifications, de modifications annulées, de blocages, etc. Cela s’inscrit dans un projet plus large visant à faciliter, pour la modération, l’évaluation du sérieux des comptes. La fonctionnalité peut déjà être activée dans vos préférences globales et pourra cette semaine être activée dans vos préférences locales. [102]
• Tout le monde est invité à faire part de ses commentaires sur les Contributions collaboratives, un projet récemment lancé par l’équipe Connexion. Le projet vise à créer de nouvelles façons d’afficher l’impact des activités de contribution collaborative (telles que les contribuathons, les listes de travaux à faire et les wikiprojets) sur les wikis. Écrivez votre avis sur la page de discussion du projet. [103]
• Les admins peuvent désormais définir la durée de blocage par défaut pour les comptes temporaires. Pour cela, il faut créer une page intitulée MediaWiki:Ipb-default-expiry-temporary-account et utiliser une valeur définie dans MediaWiki:Ipboptions. Cela permet de bloquer facilement des comptes temporaires pour 90 jours, ce qui équivaut à un blocage indéfini. L’avantage de cette solution est que cela n’encombre pas Spécial:Liste_des_blocages. Une documentation est disponible. [104]
• Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Les gadgets peuvent désormais inclure des fichiers .vue. Cela facilite le développement d’interfaces utilisateur modernes avec Vue.js et notamment Codex, le système de mise en forme officiel de Wikimedia. Les icônes Codex peuvent être chargées depuis la définition du gadget. La documentation contient des exemples. Pour les scripts utilisateur qui utilisent Vue.js, un module de l’API existe désormais pour charger des icônes Codex. [105][106]
• Les personnes développant des modules peuvent désormais utiliser une interface Lua pour simplifier la préparation des modules Lua pour la traduction sur Méta-Wiki. Cette amélioration rend plus facile pour les traducteurs et traductrices de trouver et de modifier des messages à traduire au sein des modules, sans avoir à s’occuper du code Lua. Cela évite les erreurs qui peuvent casser le module pendant la traduction. Les personnes développant ou traduisant des modules sont invitées à regarder la vidéo de démonstration pour comprendre comment cela fonctionne, à utiliser Module:User Wikimedia project de Méta-Wiki comme exemple et à expliquer si cela répond aux problématiques de leur processus de travail. L’interface rencontre encore des problèmes de performance, il faut éviter de l’utiliser sur des modules fortement utilisés pour le moment. [107]
• Les personnes développant des outils externes qui se connectent aux pages Wikimedia doivent définir un agent utilisateur conforme au règlement sur les agents utilisateur. Ce règlement sera appliqué plus strictement en aout en raison de robots externes qui abusent des ressources de Wikimedia. Les outils qui sont hébergés sur Toolforge de Wikimedia ou sur Cloud VPS ne seront pas affectés pour le moment, mais devraient quand même définir un agent utilisateur. D’autres détails techniques sont disponibles ; les questions afférentes sont les bienvenues sur la tâche.
• L’utilisation de Parsoid pour l’affichage des pages va être déployée sur certaines petites Wikipédia dans les prochaines semaines, à la suite du passage réussi des Wikivoyage et Wikitionnaires à Parsoid pour l’affichage des pages. Pour plus d’informations, consultez la page du projet Parsoid/Unification des analyseurs syntaxiques. [108]
• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Rencontres et évènements

• Wikimania 2025 aura lieu du 6 au 9 aout. Le programme est disponible, afin de vous permettre de choisir à quelles séances vous voulez participer. Les séances seront retransmises en direct, à l’exception de celles affichant l’icône « caméra barrée ». Si vous participerez en ligne, pour regarder la retransmission et utiliser les fonctionnalités interactives, inscrivez-vous pour recevoir un ticket virtuel gratuit.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-33

Dernières 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

• La barre d'outils WikiEditor inclut désormais ses raccourcis clavier dans les infobulles de ses boutons. Cela contribuera à améliorer la découvrabilité de cette fonctionnalité. [109]
• Le Conseil consultatif sur les produits et les technologies a publié une série de propositions d'expériences que la Fondation Wikimédia pourrait mettre en œuvre pour améliorer la communication avec la communauté. Les commentaires sur ces propositions sont les bienvenus jusqu'au 22 août sur cette page de discussion.
• La barre de recherche sur l’habillage Minerva (mobile) a été mise à jour pour utiliser le même composant de recherche assistée que celui de l’habillage Vector 2022. La fonctionnalité de recherche reste inchangée, mais des modifications visuelles mineures ont été apportées. En particulier, le bouton pour fermer la recherche a changé : ce n’est plus une croix « X », mais une flèche vers l’arrière. Cela permet de le distinguer de l’autre bouton « X » permettant d’effacer le texte. [110]
• Les contributeurs à certains wikis verront une nouvelle option pour « Grouper les résultats par page » sur la liste de suivi, le suivi des pages liées à une page et les pages des modifications récentes. Il s'agit d’un test A/B qui débutera le 11 août et durera de 3 à 6 semaines sur les Wikipédia en bengali, chinois, tchèque, français, grec, portugais et ourdou. L’expérience étudiera comment le fait de rendre cette fonctionnalité plus détectable pourrait affecter la capacité des contributeurs à trouver les modifications qu’ils recherchent. [111]
• Voir les 31 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Les jeux de données multiwiki de données Unicode ont été déplacés vers Category:Unicode Module Datasets (la catégorie des jeux de données Unicode des modules) sur Wikimedia Commons, conformément au principe « Une source de données commune, plusieurs wikis locaux ». La plupart des wikis ont été mis à jour pour utiliser la version Commons. Vous pouvez poser vos questions sur la page de discussion. [112]
• Le code Lua peut ajouter des avertissements en cas d'anomalie grâce à la fonction mw.addWarning(). Il est désormais possible d'ajouter plusieurs avertissements, au lieu de remplacer les anciens par de nouveaux. Si vous maintenez un module Lua qui utilise des avertissements, vérifiez qu’il fonctionne toujours correctement. [113]

Actualités techniques n° 2025-35

Dernières 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 auteurs de modèles peuvent désormais utiliser davantage de propriétés CSS, depuis que le mécanisme de filtrage CSS utilisé par TemplateStyles a été mis à jour. Par exemple : width: fit-content ; ruby-align ; des unités relatives comme lh ; et des chaînes de caractères personnalisées dans list-style-type. Ces améliorations répondent à un souhait exprimé dans la liste des souhaits de la communauté. [122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131]
• Sur les grands wikis, la période par défaut pour l’affichage des modifications dans la page « Special:RecentChanges » est passée de 7 jours à 1 jour. Cela fait partie d’un projet d’amélioration des performances. Ce changement ne devrait avoir aucun impact visible pour les utilisateurs, en raison du volume élevé de modifications sur ces wikis. [132]
• Les administrateurs peuvent désormais accéder à la page Spécial:BlockedExternalDomains depuis la page de liste Spécial:Configuration communautaire. Cela permet de la trouver plus facilement. [133]
• Les vidéos de Wikimedia Commons n’apparaissaient pas dans l’onglet « Vidéos » de la recherche Google. Le problème a été analysé et signalé à Google, qui l’a désormais corrigé. [134][135]
• Un nouveau wiki a été créé : Un Wiktionnaire en betawi (wikt:bew:) [136]
• Voir les 39 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Deux champs de la table de base de données « recentchanges » vont être supprimés. rc_new et rc_type sont retirés au profit de rc_source. Les requêtes utilisant ces anciens champs commenceront à échouer dès cette semaine, et les développeurs doivent utiliser rc_source à la place. Ces champs obsolètes avaient été dépréciés il y a plus de 10 ans et ne devraient plus être utilisés. Cette modification s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un travail visant à améliorer les performances et la stabilité des requêtes sur la table « recentchanges ». [137]
• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

• Le dernier numéro trimestriel de la Lettre d’information sur les langues et l’internationalisation est désormais disponible. Cette édition inclut : la prise en charge de nouvelles langues dans MediaWiki et translatewiki ; le lancement du projet « Language Onboarding and Development » visant à soutenir la croissance des wikis nouveaux et de petite taille ; des mises à jour sur des projets de recherche ; et bien plus encore.

Rencontres et évènements

• La prochaine réunion de la communauté des langues aura lieu bientôt, le 29 août à 15 h UTC. La réunion de cette semaine portera notamment sur les développeurs du clavier Avro de Wikimedia Bangladesh, qui ont récemment reçu une récompense nationale pour leur contribution à ce clavier, ainsi que sur d’autres sujets.

Development

• Mobile editing of statements: We developed the first pieces of the edit mode as well as the ability to add statements. You can always follow along on beta Wikidata and find more information on the project page.

• Federation: We looked at previous requests to add new endpoints to the list of SPARQL endpoints you can federate with and are cleaning up the process for getting new ones added. If you have one you'd like to write federated SPARQL queries to now is a good time to request them.
• Lexicographical data: You can now limit searches to Lexemes with a Lemma in a specific spelling variant with the haslemma keywords and to Lexemes with a specific language with the in language keyword. Examples: 1 2 (phab:T271776)
• GraphQL: We are evaluating feedback we received so far. If you are developing applications with Wikidata's data it'd be great if you could have a look at the current prototype and provide feedback.
• Dumps: We are experimenting to see how we can provide smaller subset dumps for Wikidata (phab:T400870)

Actualités techniques n° 2025-36

Dernières 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 de rédaction souhaite compiler une liste de modèles, de termes techniques et de politiques utilisés dans les résumés de modification lors de la suppression d'une violation de droits d'auteur. Cela les aidera à identifier le nombre de modifications annulées en raison de problèmes de droits d'auteur. Nous invitons les membres de la communauté des wikis suivants à lister ces termes dans T402601, ou à partager leur liste avec Trizek_(WMF) : Wikipédia en arabe, Wikipédia en tchèque, Wikipédia en allemand, Wikipédia en anglais, Wikipédia en espagnol, Wikipédia en persan, Wikipédia en français, Wikipédia en hébreu, Wikipédia en indonésien, Wikipédia en italien, Wikipédia en japonais, Wikipédia en coréen, Wikipédia en néerlandais, Wikipédia en polonais, Wikipédia en portugais, Wikipédia en turc, Wikipédia en ukrainien, Wikipédia en vietnamien, Wikipédia en chinois. Ce projet est ouvert jusqu'au 9 septembre 2025.

Actualités pour la contribution

• L'extension CampaignEvents a été activée pour toutes les Wikisources. L'extension facilite l'organisation et la participation à des activités collaboratives, comme les edit-a-thons et les WikiProjects, sur les wikis. L'extension dispose de trois fonctionnalités : Inscription à l'événement, Liste de Collaboration, et Liste d'invitation. Pour demander l'extension pour votre wiki, visitez la page d'information sur le déploiement. [138]
• Les listes dans le pied de page de l'interface d'édition, telles que des « Modèles utilisés sur cette page », seront désormais organisées en colonnes lorsqu'il y a suffisamment d'espace. Cette amélioration minimise le défilement lors de la modification d'articles longs sur Wikipédia. [139]
• Le 3 septembre 2025, nous augmenterons les pourcentages d'échantillonnage de notre expérience de groupe par bascule des pages Special:RecentChanges, Special:Watchlist et Special:RelatedChanges sur les Wikipédias chinoise, française et portugaise à 100 %, permettant à davantage d'éditeurs de participer à cette expérience. Cet ajustement vise à garantir que nous disposons de données suffisantes pour prendre des décisions éclairées lors de l'évaluation des résultats de l'expérience. [140][141]
• En cliquant sur une barre de recherche vide, les utilisateurs déconnectés verront des suggestions d'articles à lire sur Wikipedia en anglais à partir de la semaine du 22 septembre. La fonctionnalité sera disponible sur ordinateur et mobile. Tous les wikis non anglophones ont reçu ce changement en juin et juillet. L'objectif est de faciliter la recherche d'articles pour les utilisateurs. En savoir plus.
• Voir les 37 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

• Wikifunctions a désormais une nouvelle capacité appelée « types d'énumération légers », un type d'énumération est simplement un ensemble fixe de valeurs qui se trouve dans la définition du type. Cette capacité permet de définir rapidement et facilement un tel type, et permet la réutilisation de valeurs déjà présentes dans Wikidata. Voici une infolettre pour en savoir plus.
• Le dernier Bulletin des lecteurs est désormais disponible. Cette édition comprend : la création de deux nouvelles équipes — Croissance des Lecteurs et Expérience des Lecteurs ; des aperçus sur la baisse des pages vues et des créations de comptes ; des points forts du panel de Wikimania Nairobi sur l'amélioration de l'expérience de lecture ; des expériences à venir pour engager de nouveaux lecteurs et les lecteurs existants ; et plus encore.

Rencontres et évènements

• Résumé de certaines sessions de Wikimania 2025 :
  • Identifier le texte généré par l'IA en recherchant des ISBN dont les sommes de contrôle échouent : Mathias Schindler de WMDE a partagé des outils pour aider les communautés à les rechercher.
  • La durabilité du mouvement Wikimedia face aux défis actuels et futurs : Cette session a exploré comment Wikimedia peut rester une source de connaissances fiable à l'ère de l'IA générative, de la surcharge d'information et de la désinformation.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-37

Dernières 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 Édition travaille sur une nouvelle vérification : la vérification de copier-coller. Cette vérification informe les nouveaux venus qui copient du texte dans Wikipédia que le contenu est susceptible d'être refusé. Elle vise à s'assurer que le contenu ajouter à Wikipédia est en accord avec l'engagement du mouvement pour offrir une information sous licence libre. Cette vérification sera prochainement à l'essai sur quelques wikis. Si votre communauté est intéressée par cet essai, merci de nous en informer dans cette tâche ou de contacter l'équipe.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Plus tard cette semaine, les utilisateurs et utilisatrices de la fonctionnalité beta « Mise en évidence améliorée de la syntaxe » recevront des outils de lint permettant de détecter les erreurs et autres problèmes potentiels dans le wikicode en temps réel. Voir la page d'aide pour plus d'informations. [142]
• En naviguant sur un wiki (par exemple, en.wikipedia.org), le logiciel répond de deux manières : avec une page bureau ou une redirection vers une version mobile au nom de domaine en « m » (comme en.m.wikipedia.org). Durant les trois prochaines semaines, MediaWiki commencera à afficher la version mobile aux appareils mobiles directement sur le domaine standard, sans la redirection. Ce changement n'affecte pas les URLs en m. existantes, ni les personnes ayant choisi d'utiliser la « version de bureau » sur mobile. En savoir plus. [143]
• Le nombre d'éléments d'une catégorie est désormais mis à jour de manière asynchrone lorsque la modification d'une page entraîne un changement de ses catégories. Cela améliore la vitesse d'enregistrement des modifications, en particulier lorsque vous déplacez de nombreuses pages vers ou depuis une même catégorie, et réduit le risque de panne de site, mais cela signifie que le nombre d'éléments affiché d'une catégorie peut être incorrect pendant quelques minutes. [144]
• Sur Wikidata, les modifications aux qualificatifs (propriétés et valeurs) et aux références dans une déclaration d'élément Wikidata n'ajouteront temporairement plus d'entrées aux pages « Modifications récentes » et « Liste de suivi » sur tous les autres wikis. Il s'agit d'un changement temporaire afin d'améliorer les performances en attendant que d'autres solutions soient créées. Les pages dans Wikidata resteront inchangées. En savoir plus. [145][146]
• Les wikis en langue japonaise ont reçu une amélioration majeure dans la manière dont la recherche fonctionne. La nouvelle recherche devrait généralement donner des résultats de recherche plus pertinents et plus précis. [147]
• Voir les 31 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Trace Caribbean » est débattue

Page proposée au débat d'admissibilité

Bonjour Antoine.b,

L’article « Trace Caribbean » 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:Trace Caribbean/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.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-38

Dernières 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 listes de références qui sont faites en utilisant le tag <references/> seront maintenant affichées automatiquement avec colonnes en Vector 2022 si les lecteurs utilisent les réglages par défaut pour la taille du texte et la largeur de la page. [148]
• À partir de la semaine du 6 octobre, sur les petits wikis et wikis de taille moyenne qui ont l'extension CampaignEvents activée, tous les utilisateurs autoconfirmés pourront utiliser l'inscription aux événements en tant qu'organisateur. Aucun changement ne sera fait pour les grands wikis sauf demande sur Phabricator. Ce changement est fait pour rendre l'utilisation de l'inscription aux événements plus facile pour plus de personnes, surtout sur des wikis qui n'ont probablement pas de règles en rapport au droit d'organisateur d'évènements. Plus d'informations.
• Les utilisateurs qui recherchent en utilisant des expressions rationnelles (regex) peuvent désormais utiliser des fonctionnalités supplémentaires, notamment :
  • pour le mot-clé intitle: : des métacaractères pour le début de ligne (^) et la fin de ligne ($) [149]
  • pour les mots-clés intitle: et insource: : des raccourcis pour les classes de caractères des numéros (\d), des caractères vides (\s) ou de mots (\w) et des séquence d'échappement pour le retour chariot (\r), nouvelle ligne (\n), tabulation (\t) et les caractères Unicode (\uHHHH). [150]
• Lorsque vous recherchez un texte qui ressemble à une adresse IP, le système affiche maintenant les résultats de recherche. Par le passé, vous étiez automatiquement redirigé vers les contributions de cette adresse IP. [151]
• Tous les wikis seront mis en lecture seule pendant quelques minutes le 24 septembre, à 15:00 UTC. Ceci est dû aux tests de changement de serveur de centre de données qui ont lieu deux fois par an. Vous pouvez en apprendre plus sur le pourquoi et les détails de ce processus sur le blog Diff.
• Voir les 24 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un bug a été corrigé qui affectait les utilisateurs qui utilisent les onglets de page pour passer de la modification du wikitexte d'une section vers l'éditeur visuel. [152]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• L'équipe de l'interface Mediawiki est en train de remanier le bac à sable de l'API REST Wikimedia avec Codex. Si vous avez des retours sur des améliorations pour la documentation de l'API ou ce qui rend les expériences de développeurs faciles (ou difficiles), vous êtes invités à rejoindre une future interview de découverte, ou laisser ce retour sur le wiki. En apprendre plus.
• Les modifications des alias de Wikidata (un nom alternatif pour un élément ou une propriété) seront désormais affichées moins souvent dans les entrées des changements récents et de la liste de suivi sur d'autres wikis, réduisant ainsi les notifications inutiles. Cela réduira la quantité globale d'entrées « bruyantes ». Les propres pages de Wikidata restent inchangées. En savoir plus. [153]
• La nouvelle version Unicode 17.0 a été publiée. Les ensembles de données sur Commons pour le Module:Unicode data ont été mises à jour. Les Wikipédias qui n'utilisent pas les ensembles de données Commons devraient soit mettre à jour leurs propres données, soit passer aux ensembles de données Commons.
• Les utilisateurs des points de terminaison des Contenus Structurés de Wikimedia Enterprise peuvent désormais accéder aux Tables analysées. La nouvelle fonctionnalité des Tables analysées extrait et représente les tableaux Wikipédia en JSON structuré. Ceci améliore l'accessibilité machine dans le cadre de l'initiative Contenus Structurés. Les sorties des Contenus Structurés sont disponibles gratuitement via l'API à la demande ou par le biais des Services Cloud Wikimedia.
• Un jeu de données d'informations biographiques de Wikipédia en anglais provenant de Wikimedia Enterprise a été publié sur Kaggle, pour évaluation et recherche. Cela fournit des données structurées issus de plus de 1,5 million de biographies, y compris les dates de naissance et de décès, l'éducation, les affiliations, les carrières, les récompenses, et plus encore (à partir d'une capture instantanée de juin 2024).
• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

Rencontres et évènements

• Les demandes de bourse pour Wikimania 2026 à Paris, France, sont ouvertes jusqu'au 31 octobre.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-39

Dernières 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

• En date du 24 septembre à 15h00 UTC, tous les utilisateurs des sites Wikimedia seront brièvement en lecture seule en raison d'un basculement du serveur du centre de données. L'équipe d'ingénierie de la fiabilité des sites (SRE) de la Fondation Wikimedia redirigera tout le trafic d'un serveur principal vers son serveur de secours. Vous pouvez écouter le basculement grâce à l'outil « Écouter Wikipédia », où vous entendrez les modifications s'arrêter quelques minutes pendant la phase de lecture seule, puis reprendre. Ce basculement biannuel du serveur du centre de données garantit la fiabilité en testant le centre de données de secours, afin que nos sites puissent rester en ligne même en cas de panne du centre de données principal. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur le processus sur le blog Diff.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Les éditeurs de 60 autres Wiktionnaires pourront bientôt appeler des fonctions de Wikifunctions et les intégrer à leurs pages. Une fonction prend une ou plusieurs entrées et les transforme en une sortie souhaitée, comme additionner des nombres, convertir des milles en mètres, calculer le temps écoulé ou décliner un mot en cas. Elles rejoindront les 65 autres éditions linguistiques du Wiktionnaire, qui ont déjà accès aux appels Wikifunctions intégrés. Plus tard cette année, il est prévu d'étendre cette fonctionnalité à d'autres Wiktionnaires et à l'Incubateur.
• Une nouvelle fonction d'analyse a été ajoutée : {{#contentmodel}}. Les éditeurs de modèles et les administrateurs peuvent l'utiliser pour obtenir le nom localisé ou canonique du modèle de contenu d'une page spécifique. Cette fonction facilite la création et la modification des messages système, comme MediaWiki:editinginterface, même lorsque vous changez de type de page, comme wiki, JavaScript, CSS ou JSON. [154]
• L'ajout ou la modification d'un DISPLAYTITLE pour un article avec l'Éditeur Visuel ne sera plus problématique. Les rédacteurs utilisant l'Éditeur Visuel pour modifier le {{DISPLAYTITLE}} ne verront plus le texte littéral « DISPLAYTITLE » ni sa variante localisée ajoutés à leurs articles. La liste des pages potentiellement affectées et nécessitant un nettoyage est documentée dans ce ticket.
• Les utilisateurs beta de l'application Wikipédia pour Android peuvent désormais essayer l'onglet Activité restructuré, qui remplace l'onglet Modifications. Ce nouvel onglet offre des analyses personnalisées sur les activités de lecture, de modification et de don, tout en simplifiant la navigation et en rendant l'utilisation de l'application plus agréable.
• Voir les 12 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière.

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Détail des mises-à-jour à venir cette semaine : MediaWiki

En détails

• Les utilisateurs de Wikifunctions peuvent désormais importer de nombreuses données essentielles concernant les géo-coordonnées, les quantités et les temps depuis Wikidata. Ceci est rendu possible grâce à la création de types Wikifunctions pour ces valeurs, ce qui les rend utilisables par les fonctions de Wikifunctions. Pour en savoir plus, consultez cette vidéo et le bulletin d'information du 1er août (pour les quantités) et le bulletin d'information du 22 août (pour les géo-coordonnées).

Actualités techniques n° 2025-40

Dernières 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

• Une mise à jour majeure du logiciel a été effectuée sur Phabricator. La mise à jour introduit des améliorations de performance, un rafraichissement de l’interface de recherche, des améliorations de la recherche de tâches Maniphest, des mises à jour des pages de profil utilisateur et des tableaux de projets, de nouvelles fonctionnalités d’automatisation Herald, ainsi que des améliorations générales de saisie de texte, de l'expérience mobile et bien plus encore. [155]

Actualités pour la contribution

• L’équipe Technologies communautaires lancera la nouvelle extension Community Wishlist (les « Souhaits de la communauté ») le 1^er octobre, qui améliorera la façon dont les souhaits seront soumis. La nouvelle extension permettra aux utilisateurs d’ajouter des étiquettes à leurs souhaits afin de mieux les catégoriser, et (dans une prochaine version) de les filtrer par statut, étiquette et domaines d’intérêt. Il sera également à nouveau possible de soutenir des souhaits individuellement, comme demandé par la communauté à de nombreuses reprises. L’ancien système sera retiré. Il y aura une brève période d’indisponibilité pendant le déploiement de l’extension et la migration des souhaits vers le nouveau système. Vous pouvez en savoir plus à ce sujet dans la dernière note d’actualités ou consulter la documentation actuelle sur MediaWiki.org.
• Comme annoncé sur le blog Diff, l’essai en production du service hCaptcha pour la détection des robots a commencé. L’essai utilise actuellement hCaptcha pour protéger la création de compte sur les Wikipédia en chinois, perse, portugais, indonésien, japonais et turc, où il remplacera notre CAPTCHA existant (FancyCaptcha). L’objectif de cet essai est de mieux bloquer les robots tout en améliorant la convivialité et l’accessibilité pour les utilisateurs qui rencontrent des difficultés avec les CAPTCHA.
• L’extension CampaignEvents a été déployée sur Wikimedia Commons. Cette extension facilite l’organisation et la participation à des activités collaboratives, comme des contribuathons et des projets, sur les wikis. Sur Commons, n’importe quelle personne enregistrée peut l’utiliser comme participante à un événement. Pour l’utiliser pour organiser un événement, il faut demander un droit spécifique.
• Les sous-références, une nouvelle fonctionnalité permettant de réutiliser des références avec des détails différents, a été lancée sur Wikipédia en allemand. Vous pouvez tester cette fonctionnalité sur Testwiki ou sur Betawiki. N’hésitez pas à partager vos remarques sur l’utilisation des modèles dans les sous-références ou à vous porter volontaire pour devenir un wiki pilote.
• Sur les wikis utilisant le système de Mentorat, les communautés peuvent à présent exclure les personnes expérimentées du mentorat en utilisant Spécial:Configuration communautaire/Mentorship. Dans cette configuration, les communautés peuvent définir des niveaux, basés sur le compteur de contributions et l’âge du compte, pour décider si une personne est considérée comme suffisamment expérimentée pour ne plus recevoir de soutien par le mentorat. [156]
• L'équipe Contribution et l’équipe Apprentissage automatique travaillent actuellement sur un nouveau contrôle destiné aux novices : la vérification du style. À l’aide d'un modèle prédictif, ce contrôle encouragera les contributeurs à améliorer la tonalité de leurs modifications grâce à l’intelligence artificielle. Nous invitons les bénévoles à examiner la première version du modèle linguistique de ton pour les langues suivantes : arabe, tchèque, allemand, hébreu, indonésien, néerlandais, polonais, russe, turc, chinois, farsi, italien, norvégien, roumain et letton. Les utilisateurs de ces wikis intéressés par l’examen de ce modèle sont invités à s’inscrire sur MediaWiki.org. La date limite d’inscription est fixée au 3 octobre, date à laquelle débutera le test.
• La sortie des multiblocages a entrainé l’affichage inopiné de certains journais de blocage inactifs sur Spécial:Contributions et sur les pages utilisateur et de discussion des utilisateurs bloqués. Ce problème sera complètement résolu d’ici quelques jours. Avec ce correctif, les messages préfixées par sp-contributions-blocked-notice seront retirés et remplacés par ceux préfixés par blocked-notice-logextract dans quelques semaines. Vous pouvez aider à traduire les nouveaux messages et à mettre à jour les écrasements locaux si besoin.
• Il y a eu un beugue avec les liens ajoutés depuis l’éditeur visuel quand ils contenaient des caractères tel que [ ] | après le marqueur de fragment (#). Ils n’étaient pas encodés correctement, ce qui créait des liens erronés. Cela a été corrigé. [157]
• Un nouveau wiki a été créé : une Wikiquote en malais (q:ms:) [158]
• Voir les 21 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, la fiche d’informations utilisateur affiche désormais les verrouillages et blocages globaux actuellement actifs. [159]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• À partir de cette semaine, les contributeurs utilisant des modules Lua pourront utiliser la fonction mw.title.newBatch pour rechercher l’existence de 25 pages en une seule fois, d’une manière qui ne comptera que pour un seul appel de fonction couteuse.
• Un nouveau groupe de travail sur les outils non pris en charge s’est créé dans le cadre du travail en cours pour déterminer collectivement les priorités techniques, similaire au conseil consultatif des Produits et Technologies (PTAC). Le groupe de travail aidera à prioriser et à examiner les demandes de maintenance pour les extensions, gadgets, robots et outils non maintenus. Pour le premier cycle, le groupe priorisera un outil non pris en charge de Wikimedia Commons.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-41

Dernières 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

• Paste Check est une nouvelle fonctionnalité de vérification des modifications destinée à prévenir et à lutter contre les violations de droits d'auteur. Lorsque les contributeurs collent du texte dans un article, Paste Check les invite à confirmer l'origine et la licence du contenu. À partir du mercredi 8 octobre, 22 wikis testeront Paste Check. Paste Check aidera les nouveaux bénévoles à comprendre et à respecter les politiques et les directives nécessaires pour contribuer de manière constructive aux projets Wikipédia.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Les appareils mobiles recevront les articles mobiles directement sur le domaine standard (par exemple, en.wikipedia.org), au lieu d'une redirection vers un domaine "m" (par exemple, en.m.wikipedia.org). Ce changement améliore les performances. Il sera activé cette semaine sur Wikipédia. Les URL mobiles existantes et la désactivation de l'affichage "Bureau" restent disponibles. En savoir plus. [160]
• Les nouveaux filtres de date, creationdate: et lasteditdate: sont désormais disponibles dans le moteur de recherche du wiki. Ils permettent aux utilisateurs de filtrer les résultats de recherche par date de première ou de dernière révision d'une page. Ces filtres prennent en charge les opérateurs de comparaison (par exemple, >2024) et les dates relatives (par exemple, today-1d), facilitant ainsi la recherche de contenu ou de pages récemment mis à jour dans des tranches d'âge spécifiques. [161]
• Wikifunctions prend désormais en charge le texte enrichi dans les appels intégrés sur les 150 wikis où il est activé. Pour illustrer cela, l'équipe a créé un tableau de déclinaison latine que les éditeurs du Wiktionnaire peuvent utiliser pour générer automatiquement les formes nominales, produisant ainsi des résultats clairs et formatés ; voir un exemple de résultat. Pour toute aide ou commentaire, veuillez contacter l'équipe Wikifunctions. [162]
• Un lien d'édition apparaîtra désormais à l'intérieur de la zone de catégories sur les pages d'articles pour les utilisateurs connectés, ce qui lancera directement la boîte de dialogue de catégorie VisualEditor. [163]
• Voir les 34 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, il y a eu un problème lors du téléchargement des fichiers PDF la semaine dernière et cela a été résolu. [164]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Le champ rev_sha1 dans la table de révision de la base de données est supprimé au profit du champ content_sha1 dans la table de contenu de la base de données. Voir l'annonce pour plus d'informations.
• L'équipe Expérience de lecture déploiera l'interface utilisateur du Mode sombre sur tous les sites Wikimedia le 29 octobre 2025. Tous les utilisateurs anonymes des sites Wikimedia auront la possibilité d'activer un jeu de couleurs avec du texte clair sur fond sombre. Ce système vise à améliorer le confort de lecture, notamment en basse lumière. Les auteurs de modèles et les contributeurs techniques sont encouragés à apprendre à préparer leurs pages pour le mode sombre et à résoudre tout problème de compatibilité rencontré avec les modèles de leur wiki avant l'activation. Pour toute question ou assistance, veuillez contacter l'équipe Web sur cette page de discussion avant l'activation. [165]
• À compter du lundi 6 octobre, les points de terminaison d'API du chemin rest.php seront redirigés vers une nouvelle passerelle d'API interne. Les wikis individuels seront mis à jour en fonction des groupes de versions standard, avec un trafic total en constante augmentation. Ce changement devrait être sans rupture ni perturbation. Si des problèmes sont observés, veuillez déposer un ticket Phabricator auprès du tableau de bord de l'équipe Service Ops. [166]

Actualités techniques n° 2025-42

Dernières 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

• La semaine dernière, des améliorations dans les fonctionnalités de sécurité des comptes et d’authentification à deux facteurs (A2F) ont été activées sur tous les wikis. Ces changements comprenaient des améliorations dans l’interface utilisateur de Spécial:AccountSecurity, la prise en charge de plusieurs méthodes d’A2F via des applis d’authentification et des clés de sécurité portables (auparavant, les utilisateurs et utilisatrices ne pouvaient activer qu’une seule méthode) et un nouveau module de codes de récupération qui limite le blocage de comptes en raison de la perte des applis ou appareils d’authentification. Dans le cadre du projet Sécurité des comptes, le travail continue durant cette fin d’année 2025 sur des d’autres améliorations de l’exéprience utilisateur et la prise en charge de clés de passe comme solution d’authentification alternative.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Une autre partie du projet Sécurité des comptes est de rendre l’A2F disponible pour tous les utilisateurs et utilisatrices. Comme les personnes ayant des privilèges avancés (tels que les admins et bureaucrates), 40 % des contributeurs et contributrices ont désormais accès à l’A2F. Vous pouvez vérifier si vous y avez accès sur Spécial:AccountSecurity. Les instructions pour l’activer sont sur cette page. Le projet est de continuer à augmenter sa disponibilité s’il est déterminé que les capacités d’assistance aux utilisateurs sont suffisantes pour assister l’intégralité de la communauté. [167]
• Cette semaine, les utilisateurs et utilisatrices sur les wikis où les améliorations d’ergonomie sont activées par défaut sur les pages de discussions (c’est-à-dire partout sauf les 12 wikis listés sur la tâche T379 264 de Phabricator) pourront remercier quelqu’un pour son message directement depuis la page de discussion où celui-ci apparait. Auparavant, il fallait visiter l’historique de la page de discussion pour remercier quelqu’un. En savoir plus sur ce changement. [168]
• Les utilisateurs et utilisatrices qui n’ont pas vérifié leur adresse électronique recevront bientôt une notification mensuelle pour leur rappeler. En effet, avoir vérifié son adresse de courriel permet de récupérer son compte plus facilement. Ces rappels ne seront pas envoyés si la personne est inactive ou si elle retire l’adresse non vérifiée de son compte. [169][170]
• Voir les 21 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, un correctif d’une erreur occasionnel lors de l’enregistrement d’un paragraphe traduit dans l’outil de traduction de contenu permet désormais de voir plus facilement les messages d’erreurs liés. [171]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Le groupe de travail sur les Outils non pris en charge a choisi Video2Commons comme premier outil pour son cycle pilote. Le groupe étudiera des façons d’améliorer et d’entretenir l’outil durant les prochains mois. En savoir plus sur Méta-Wiki.

Infolettre des applis Wikimedia – Troisième trimestre 2025

Dans ce numéro, nous aborderons les principales actualités, expérimentations et améliorations des applis mobile Wikipédia en juillet, aout et septembre.

iOS

Navigation par onglet

• En juillet, nous avons sorti la première itération de la navigation par onglet pour tous les utilisateurs.
• Notre test A/B de 30 jours a montré des résultats variés mais prometteurs : même si le gain en conservation des utilisateurs non-connectés était modeste, les retours du sondage sont extrêmement positifs (93 % estiment que la fonctionnalité est "imperceptible à très satisfaisante").
• Nous avons continué les améliorations en aout et septembre : une révision du design de la fonction « Onglets plus dynamiques », un nouveau contrôleur d’onglets et des corrections de beugues par exemple la taille des onglets incohérente sur iPad mini, ou encore des problèmes d’infobulles.

Rétrospective annuelle de Wikipédia personnalisée

• Le travail sur les mises à jour de la Rétrospective annuelle a continué, plus particulièrement sur des fonctionnalités telles que le partage de rétrospectives complètes, des icônes personnalisés dans l’appli ou encore l’affichage de l’origine géographique du lectorat.
• Nous avons aussi commencé à préparer des données globales de l’appli pour présenter une vision collective plus riche.

Ravalement de la navigation

• Nous avons amélioré le code derrière l’onglet Historique et les recherches récentes pour nous préparer à de futurs changements de navigation.

Autres mises à jour pour iOS

• Plusieurs versions de l’application ont été publiées (7.8.1 à 7.8.3), avec des tests de fumée terminés.
• De nombreux beugues ont été résolus, notamment des plantages (infobulles, gestes, recherche), des problèmes de mise en page sur iPad et des problèmes visuels avec les légendes, les informations synthétiques (Quick Facts) et les images en mode sombre.
• Un nouveau point de terminaison d’API REST pour la configuration à distance a été ajouté ; et la configuration des collectes de fonds a été mise à jour pour prendre en charge les tests A/B.
• Le maintien de la compatibilité avec l’authentification multifacteur (MFA) a été vérifiée.

Android

Expérimentation de rappel personnalisable de don

• En aout, nous avons lancé l’expérimentation d’un rappel de don personnalisable en Italie. Le rappel permettra aux utilisateurs de décider s’ils veulent être rappelé de faire un don, et à quelle fréquence.

Expérimentation de l’onglet Activité

• En septembre, nous avons finalisé les tâches des modules de base, d’intégration, d’instrumentation et de validation pour effectuer le test A/B du nouvel onglet Activité par rapport à l’onglet Modifier.
• Cela marque une étape majeure de l’expérimentation d’un espace Activité pour améliorer l’engagement sur plusieurs jours et la participation à plus long terme.

Correctifs de beugues et améliorations

• Les plantages lors d’un appui long sur une galerie d’images, la synchronisation d’articles en chinois enregistrés, la prévisualisation des modifications et les liens spéciaux ont été corrigés.
• Le rendu et les problèmes du mode sombre qui affectaient les balises math, les GIF et les numéros de référence ont été traités.

Autres mises à jour pour Android

• Nous avons publié une nouvelle version bêta et effectué plusieurs tests de non-régression pour assurer la stabilité.
• Un nouveau point de terminaison d’API REST pour la configuration à distance a été ajouté, comme sur iOS.
• Le nettoyage de la dette technique a continué à travers la suppression de allowMainThreadQueries et l’ajout de la suspension aux fonctions de DAO.
• La configuration des levées de fonds a été mise à jour pour prendre en charge les tests A/B.

Changements multiplateformes

• Les deux applis ont intégré une mise à jour des levées de fonds pour prendre en charge les tests A/B et ont accueilli un point de terminaison de l’API REST pour permettre la configuration à distance.
• Nous avons commencé à suivre les évènements de Disparition de compte sur iOS et Anrdoird pour les fonctionnalités de vie privée.

Perspectives

Ce trimestre a marqué un grand pas en avant sur la navigation par onglets, l'onglet Activité et la rétrospective annuelle — trois projets visant à rendre Wikipédia plus personnelle, navigable et engageante. Nous avons également avancé sur les expérimentations de dons et des amélioration de l’infrastructure dorsale pour permettre une meilleure flexibilité à l’avenir.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Pour optimiser la manière dont les données des utilisateurs sont stockées dans nos bases de données, les préférences enregistrées des utilisateurs qui ne se sont pas connectés depuis plus de cinq ans et qui ont moins de 100 modifications seront supprimées. Lorsque ces utilisateurs reviendront, les paramètres par défaut s’appliqueront. [172]
• Voir les 20 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, il y avait un lien brisé depuis le message d’interface de GlobalContributions vers la page GlobalContributions de XTools qui a maintenant été corrigé. [173]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Le travail de routage de tous le trafic vers les points de terminaison d’API sous la route rest.php à travers une passerelle commune d’API est désormais terminé. Si vous constatez un problème, n’hésitez pas à ouvrir une tâche Phabricator dans le tableau de bord de l’équipe Opé’s de service.
• Les modifications aux références et qualificateurs de Wikidata seront désormais moins souvent affichés dans les Modifications récentes et listes de suivi des autres wikis, réduisant les notifications non-nécessaires. Cela réduira la quantité globale d’éléments disparates. Les pages directement sur Wikidata restent inchangées. [174]

Actualités techniques n° 2025-44

Dernières 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

• Un test A/B/C a été lancé sur l’appli Wikipédia pour iOS concernant les améliorations de navigation par onglet, pour certaines langues et régions. Intitulé « Onglets plus dynamiques », ce test explores de nouvelles expériences d’onglets et inclut les recommandations d’articles « Le saviez-vous » et « Parce que vous avez lu ». Vous trouverez plus d’informations sur la page du projet.
• Les utilisateurs autoconfirmés sur les petits et moyens wikis avec l’extension CampaignEvents peuvent désormais utiliser le système d’inscription aux évènements sans avoir le droit d’organisation d’évènement. Cette fonctionnalité laisse les équipes d’organisation activer l’inscription, gérer les participants et permet aux utilisateurs de s’inscrire en un clic au lieu de signer sur les pages des évènements.
• Voir les 31 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, le problème des clignotements lors de l’appui sur les flèches du clavier dans les paramètres du mode sombre de Vector 2022 a été corrigé. [175]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• L’extension CampaignEvents sera déployé sur tous les wikis restants durant la semaine du 17 novembre 2025. Elle inclut trois fonctionnalités : le système d’inscription aux évènements, la liste de collaboration et la liste d’invitation. Pour ce déploiement, la liste d’invitation ne sera pas activée sur les Wikifonctions et MediaWiki sauf demande contraire de ces communautés. Consultez la page de déploiement pour en savoir plus.
• L’expérience de bac à sable REST basée sur SwaggerUI est désormais en ligne sur tous les projets wiki. Le bac à sable est accessible sur la page Spécial:RestSandbox. N’hésitez pas à signaler tout problème sur le tableau de bord de l’équipe des Interfaces de MediaWiki, et à participer aux discussions sur la page de lancement du projet. [176]
• Les points de terminaison de transformation avec une barre oblique finale (/) dans l’API REST de MediaWiki sont désormais dépréciés. Ils continueront de fonctionner pour le moment, mais devraient être supprimés d’ici à la fin janvier 206. Tous les utilisateurs et utilisatrices de l’API qui les appellent sont encouragés à transitionner vers les versions sans barre oblique finale. Les deux variantes de ces points de terminaison peuvent être trouvés et testés à l’aide du bac à sable REST. Consultez la page Dépréciation de l’API REST de MediaWiki pour plus de détails sur les règles et procédures de dépréciation dans l’API.
• Un journal des changements existe désormais pour l’API REST de MediaWiki. Il fournit un aperçu des changements, facilitant le suivi des améliorations et versions par les développeurs et développeuses. Les annonces continueront sur les canaux classiques de communication, dont les Actualités techniques et les listes de distribution, mais peuvent désormais être plus facilement référencées depuis un endroit centralisateur. Si vous avez des retours à faire sur le style, la structure ou le contenu de ce journal, vous pouvez rejoindre la discussion.
• Les admins peuvent supprimer la catégorie de suivi précédemment ajoutée par l’extension JsonConfig, puisqu’elles n’est plus utilisée. Ces catégories sont liées à l’élément Q130 635 582. Il est normal qu’il reste des pages dans cette catégorie en raison du cache : elles seront automatiquement retirées lors de la prochaine modification de chaque page. [177]

Wikidata weekly summary #704

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2025-11-03. Missed the previous one? See issue #703.

Discussions

• Closed request for adminship: Samoasambia
• New requests for permissions/Bot: langCodesBot - Task(s): Python script to automate the cleanup of deprecated language codes (e.g., kr) from Wikidata items. Delete or move labels, descriptions, and aliases based on comparisons with fallback and related languages. The script uses the Pywikibot framework to process each item and logs cases it skips due to data inconsistencies or ambiguity to a CSV file for manual review.
• New request for comments: Exhibition models by Hexatekin - This proposal focuses on standardizing models for art exhibitions. There is not a consistent data model used for art exhibitions that factors in parent-child relationships for traveling exhibitions, show series, or biennials, despite these being important and common types of events in international art history.

Events

• Past:
  • Happy Birthday, Wikidata 🎉! We celebrated Wikidata’s 13th birthday with a community call to unveil presents and play games. Check out the replay of the event and the cool gifts people made: Wikidata:Thirteenth Birthday/Presents & messages

Tech News: 2025-45

Latest 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

• Administrators will now find that Spécial:Fusionner les historiques is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start). [178]
• For users with "S’abonner automatiquement aux sujets" enabled in their preferences, starting a new topic or adding a reply to an existing topic will now subscribe them to replies to that topic. Previously, this would only happen if the DiscussionTools "Ajouter un sujet" or "Répondre" widgets were used. When DiscussionTools was originally launched existing accounts were not opted in to automatic topic subscriptions, so this change should primarily affect newer accounts and users who have deliberately changed their preferences since that time. [179]
• Scribunto modules can now be used to generate SVG images. This can be used to build charts, graphics and other visualizations dynamically through Lua, reducing the need to compose them externally and upload them as files. [180]
• Wikimedia sites now provide all anonymous users with the option to enable a dark mode color scheme, featuring light-colored text on a dark background. This enhancement aims to deliver a more enjoyable reading experience, especially in dimly lit environments. [181]
• Users with large watchlists have long faced timeouts when editing Special:EditWatchlist. The page now loads entries in smaller sections instead of all at once due to a paging update, allowing everyone to edit their watchlists smoothly. As part of the database update, sorting by expiry has been removed because it was over 100× slower than sorting by title. A community wish has been created to explore alternative ways to restore sort-by-expiry. If this feature is important to you, please support the wish! [182]
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the fixing of the persisting highlighting when using VisualEditor find and replace during a query. [183]

Updates for technical contributors

• Since 2019 the Wikimedia URL Shortener at https://w.wiki is available for all Wikimedia wikis to create short links to articles, permalinks, diffs, etc. It is available in the sidebar as "Get shortened URL". There are 30 wikis that also install an older "ShortUrl" extension. The old extension will soon be removed. This means /s/ URLs will not be advertised under article titles via HTML class="title-shortlink". The /s/ URLs will keep working. [184]
• On Thursday, October 30, the MediaWiki Interfaces and SRE Service Operations teams began rerouting Action API traffic through a common API gateway. Individual wikis will be updated based on the standard release groups, with total traffic increased over time. This change is expected to be non-breaking and non-disruptive. If any issues are observed, please file a Phabricator ticket to the Service Ops team board.
• MediaWiki Train deployments will pause for the final two weeks of 2025: 22 December and 29 December. Backport windows will also pause between Monday, 22 December 2025 and Thursday, 2 January 2026. A backport window is a scheduled time to add things like bug fixes and configuration changes. There are seven deployment trains remaining for 2025. [185]
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

• In 2025, the Wikimedia Foundation reported that AI systems and search engines increasingly use Wikipedia content without driving users to the site, contributing to an 8% drop in human pageviews compared to 2024. After detecting bots disguised as humans, Wikimedia updated its traffic data to reflect this shift. Read more about current user trends on Wikipedia in a Diff blog post.

• Ghanasupremecases is a webapp that dynamically pulls and displays over 2,000 Supreme Court of Ghana cases from Wikidata, allowing users to access case details linked directly to Wikidata items. The goal is to make African legal data more open, structured, and discoverable, and to demonstrate how Wikidata can serve as a foundation for national-level legal archive

Other Noteworthy Stuff

Actualités techniques n° 2025-46

Dernières 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

Exemple d’une page de discussion avec le nouveau design, en français.

• À partir du 12 novembre, les utilisateurs verront un changement dans l’apparence des pages de discussion sur certaines Wikipédia. Ce changement de design a déjà été appliqué sur presque tous les wikis ; mais il arrivera plus tard pour la Wikipédia en anglais. Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur Diff. Les utilisateurs peuvent choisir de ne pas appliquer ces changements dans leurs préférences utilisateur en décochant « Afficher l’activité de la discussion ». [186]
• MediaWiki peut désormais afficher automatiquement un indicateur d’état lorsqu’une page est protégée. Cette fonctionnalité est désactivée par défaut. Elle peut être activée sur demande de la communauté. [187]
• L’utilisation des boutons « Prévisualiser » ou « Voir les modifications » dans l’éditeur de wikicode transmettra désormais certains paramètres d’URL tels que useskin, uselang et section. Cette mise à jour corrige également un problème où, si le navigateur plantait lors de l’aperçu des modifications d’une section, enregistrer ces modifications pouvait écraser la page entière avec le contenu de cette seule section. [188][189][190]
• Les wikis Wikivoyage peuvent utiliser des marqueurs de carte colorés dans le texte de l'article. Le texte de ces marqueurs sera désormais affiché en noir ou blanc contrastant, au lieu d'être toujours blanc. Les solutions locales de contournement du problème peuvent être supprimées. [191]
• L'onglet Activité de l'application Wikipedia pour Android est désormais disponible pour tous les utilisateurs. Le nouvel onglet offre des informations personnalisées sur la lecture, la modification et les dons, tout en simplifiant la navigation et en rendant l'utilisation de l'application plus attrayante. [192]
• L’équipe de Croissance du lectorat lance une expérimentation appelée « Exploration des images » afin de tester comment faciliter la navigation et la découverte d’images dans les articles de Wikipédia. Cette expérimentation prendra la forme d’un test A/B uniquement sur mobile, sur Wikipédia en anglais la semaine du 17 novembre pendant quatre semaines, affectant 0,05 % des utilisateurs de ce wiki. Le test a été lancé le 3 novembre sur les wikis en arabe, chinois, français, indonésien et vietnamien, affectant jusqu’à 10 % des utilisateurs de ces wikis. [193]
• Voir les 27 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, l’impossibilité de verrouiller des comptes depuis les sites mobiles a été corrigée. [194]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Les mises en candidatures sont ouvertes sur Wikitech pour désigner de nouveaux membres au comité des normes de Toolforge. Le comité supervise notamment le règlement du droit à la création de fork et le règlement des outils abandonnés de Toolforge. Les mises en candidatures sont possibles jusqu’au 28 novembre 2025.
• Le champ émetteur JWT dans les jetons d’accès OAuth 2 pour les wikis SUL a été changé, il contient maintenant https://meta.wikimedia.org. Les anciens jetons d’accès continueront de fonctionner. [195]
• Le champ sujet du JWT dans les jetons d'accès OAuth 2 changera bientôt de <user id> à mw:<identity type>:<user id>, où <identity type> est généralement CentralAuth: (pour les wikis SUL) ou local:<wiki id> (pour les autres wikis). Cela vise à éviter les conflits entre différents types d’identifiants utilisateur et à rendre les jetons d’accès OAuth 2 plus similaires au cookie sessionJwt. Les anciens jetons d’accès continueront de fonctionner. [196]
• Les messages de blocage de MediaWiki (blockedtext, blockedtext-partial, autoblockedtext, systemblockedtext, blockedtext-tempuser, autoblockedtext-tempuser) prennent désormais en charge des paramètres supplémentaires pour indiquer si l’utilisateur est bloqué pour modifier sa propre page de discussion ($9) ou pour envoyer des courriels à d’autres utilisateurs ($10). [197]
• Une branche REL1_45 pour le noyau MediaWiki et chacune des extensions et habillages dans le git de Wikimedia a été créée. Il s’agit de la première étape du processus de publication de MediaWiki 1.45.0, prévue pour fin novembre 2025. Si vous travaillez sur une correction de bogue critique ou sur une nouvelle fonctionnalité, vous devrez peut-être prendre note de cette information. [198]
• Le processus de génération des copies mémoire (dumps) de CirrusSearch a été mis à jour en raison d’une baisse de performance. Si vous rencontrez des problèmes lors de la migration vers les copies de remplacement, vous pouvez contacter l’équipe Plateforme de recherche pour obtenir de l’aide. [199][200]

Dernières 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

• L’équipe Reader Experience expérimente les listes de lecture sur le web mobile, permettant aux lecteurs connectés n’ayant jamais effectué de modifications de sauvegarder des listes privées d’articles à lire plus tard. L’expérience est en cours sur les Wikipédias en arabe, chinois, français, indonésien et vietnamien depuis la semaine du 10 novembre, et commencera sur la Wikipédia en anglais la semaine du 17 novembre.
• Les utilisateurs qui ne reçoivent pas leur code de vérification par e-mail lors de la connexion peuvent désormais obtenir de l’aide en remplissant un formulaire sur une nouvelle page spéciale. Cette mise à jour fait partie de l’initiative « Sécurité des comptes ». Si votre compte est associé à une adresse électronique, veuillez vous assurer que vous y avez toujours accès. Lors d’une connexion depuis un nouvel appareil ou un nouvel emplacement, sans authentification à deux facteurs (2FA), il peut vous être demandé de saisir un code à 6 chiffres envoyé par courrier électronique pour terminer la connexion.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-48

Dernières 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

• La semaine dernière, l'équipe de recherche de Wikimedia a recréé côté serveur la fonctionnalité « DWIM » (Do What I Mean - Faites ce que je pense) pour les Wikipedias russe et hébraïque. Cette fonctionnalité ajoute des suggestions de saisie au clavier aux suggestions du champ de recherche standard. Par exemple, la recherche de « cxfcnmt » sur Wikipédia russe suggérera désormais « счастье » (« bonheur »), ce que l'utilisateur avait probablement en tête. L'équipe prévoit d'activer cette fonctionnalité pour les autres wikis russes et hébraïques cette semaine. [202]
• Plus tard cette semaine, les utilisateurs de la fonctionnalité bêta Mise en évidence améliorée de la syntaxe bénéficieront de la coloration syntaxique dans DiscussionTools. Pour cela, la préférence Activer les outils de modification en mode source doit être activée. [203]
• L'extension Événements de campagne, un ensemble d'outils permettant de coordonner des événements et autres collaborations sur le wiki, est désormais disponible sur tous les wikis Wikimedia. Une nouvelle fonctionnalité, Contributions collaboratives, a également été ajoutée pour aider les organisateurs et les participants à visualiser l'impact des activités. Participez à la prochaine Session d'apprentissage pour découvrir cette nouvelle fonctionnalité et nous faire part de vos commentaires.
• Voir les 24 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. Par exemple, le bug qui empêchait CodeReviewBot de fonctionner a maintenant été corrigé. [204]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Les utilisateurs de l'API Wikimedia peuvent participer à une étude d'utilisabilité afin de valider la nouvelle conception des environnements de test de l'API REST de Wikimedia. Les participants intéressés sont invités à remplir le questionnaire de recrutement (en anglais). [205]
• L'équipe Interfaces de MediaWiki abandonne la prise en charge des feuilles de style XSLT dans l'Action API. La prise en charge de format=xml&xlst={stylesheet} sera supprimée des projets Wikimedia d'ici fin novembre 2025. De plus, elle sera bientôt désactivée par défaut dans les versions 1.43 (LTS), 1.44 et 1.45 de MediaWiki. La prise en charge des feuilles de style XSLT sera entièrement supprimée de la version 1.46 de MediaWiki (dont la sortie est prévue entre avril et mai 2026). [206]
• Le point d'accès WDQS hérité (query-legacy-full.wikidata.org) sera mis hors service fin décembre 2025, puis définitivement fermé le 7 janvier 2026. Après cette date, les requêtes adressées à query.wikidata.org nécessitant le graphe complet échoueront ou renverront des résultats invalides si elles ne sont pas réécrites pour utiliser la fédération SPARQL. L'équipe encourage les utilisateurs à s'assurer que leurs outils et flux de travail utilisent les points d'accès WDQS compatibles (https://query.wikidata.org/ - graph principal ou https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org/ - graph scientifique). Pour obtenir de l'aide concernant la migration des cas d'utilisation, veuillez consulter les pages Accès aux données et Request a query pour plus de détails et d'assistance sur les méthodes d'accès alternatives.

Tech News: 2025-49

Latest 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 Wikipedia Year in Review 2025 will be available on December 2 for users of iOS and Android Wikipedia apps, featuring new personalized insights, updated reading highlights, and refreshed designs. Learn more on the review's project page.
• The Growth team is working on improving the text and presentation of the Verification Email sent to new users to make them more welcoming, useful and informative. Some new text have been drafted for A/B testing and you can help by translating them. See Phabricator.
• Add a link will now be deployed at Japanese, Urdu and Chinese Wikipedias on December 2. Add a link is based on a prediction model that suggests links to be added to articles. While this feature has already been available on most Wikipedias, the prediction model could not support certain languages. A new model has now been developed to handle these languages, and it will be gradually rolled out to other Wikipedias over time. If you would like to know more, please contact Trizek (WMF).
• View all 34 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue where search boxes on some Commons pages showed no results due to switch from SpecialSearch to MediaSearch, has now been fixed. [207]
• Two new wikis have been created:
  • a Wikipédia in Toki Pona (w:tok:) [208]
  • a Wikiquote in Nigerian Pidgin (q:pcm:) [209]

Updates for technical contributors

• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

• The Wikimedia Foundation is in the early stages of exploring approaches to Article guidance. The initiative aims to identify interventions that could help new editors easily understand and apply existing Wikipedia practices and policies when creating an article. The project is in the exploration and early experimental design phase. All community members are encouraged to learn more about the project, and share their thoughts on the talk page.

Actualités techniques n° 2025-50

Dernières 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

• Anybody who wishes to secure their user account can now use two-factor authentication (2FA). This is available to all registered users of all Wikimedia projects. This is part of the Account Security initiative. Later, 2FA will be required for all users who can take security- or privacy-sensitive actions.

Actualités pour la contribution

• Suite aux déploiements de la semaine dernière, la fonctionnalité Ajouter un lien, qui permet aux rédacteurs de suggérer des liens lors de l’édition, sera disponible sur 33 Wikipédias supplémentaires à partir du 9 décembre. Cette expansion est rendue possible grâce au nouveau modèle de prédiction qui prend désormais en charge toutes les langues, y compris celles qui n’étaient pas couvertes précédemment. Bien que la fonctionnalité soit disponible sur la plupart des Wikipédias depuis un certain temps, ce déploiement nous rapproche de l’utilisation du modèle amélioré partout. Si vous avez des questions ou souhaitez plus de détails, veuillez contacter Trizek (WMF).
• La semaine dernière, l'équipe de recherche Wikimedia a ajouté des suggestions de recherche translittérées en temps réel aux wikis géorgiens. S'il n'y a que quelques suggestions de recherche habituelles, alors les requêtes en script latin ou cyrillique sont maintenant réécrites en script géorgien pour trouver plus de correspondances. Par exemple, la recherche de bedniereba ou бедниереба suggérera désormais l'article existant sur ბედნიერება ("bonheur"). Vous pouvez recommander d'autres langues où les suggestions translittérées pourraient être utiles sur Phabricator pour un développement futur.
• Later this week, a controlled experiment will begin for editors on the 100 largest Wikipedias who are editing a section in the mobile web visual editor. 50% of these editors will notice a new "Edit full page" button that will enable them to expand their editing session to the whole page. This feature is intended to make it easier for people on mobile web to edit any article section, regardless of which section-edit icon they tapped to begin. The experiment will last ~4 weeks. You can find more details about the project.
• Later this week, the Reader Growth team will launch a mobile web experiment to expand all article sections by default (currently they are collapsed by default) and pin the section header the user is currently reading to the top of the page. The experiment will affect 10% of users on Arabic, Chinese, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. [210]
• 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. [211]
• Voir les 23 tâches soumises par la communauté résolues la semaine dernière. For example, the incorrect handling of URLs copied from the address bar of Microsoft Edge users, has been resolved. [212]

Actualités pour la contribution technique

• Starting this week, users of the "Mise en évidence améliorée de la syntaxe" beta feature will have CodeMirror as the editor for Lua, JavaScript, CSS, JSON and Vue content models, instead of CodeEditor. With this, the linters will be upgraded. This is part of a larger effort to eventually replace CodeEditor and provide a consistent code editing experience. [213]
• Developers are encouraged to take the 2025 Developer Satisfaction Survey, which remains open until 5 January 2026. If you build software for the Wikimedia ecosystem and would like to share your experiences or feedback, your participation is greatly appreciated. [214]
• Il n’y aura pas de nouvelle version de MediaWiki cette semaine.
