The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 April. It will be on all wikis from 25 April (calendar). [2][3]
Future changes
This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of Speciaal:MijnPagina/vector.js to Speciaal:MijnPagina/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [4]

Recent changes
The appearance of talk pages changed for the following wikis: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia, Thai Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Vietnamese Wikipedia. These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design, for one year. As this test gave positive results, the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Overlegactiviteit weergeven"). The deployment will happen at all wikis in the coming weeks. [5]
Kartographer maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using mapstyle="osm". This wasn't working in previews, creating the wrong impression that it wasn't supported. This has now been fixed. [14]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 May. It will be on all wikis from 2 May (calendar). [15][16]

Recent changes
The appearance of talk pages changed for all wikis, except for Commons, Wikidata and most Wikipedias (a few have already received this design change). You can read the detail of the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Overlegactiviteit weergeven"). The deployment will happen at remaining wikis in the coming weeks. [17][18]
Interface admins now have greater control over the styling of article components on mobile with the introduction of the SiteAdminHelper. More information on how styles can be disabled can be found at the extension's page. [19]
Wikimedia Enterprise has added article body sections in JSON format and a curated short description field to the existing parsed Infobox. This expansion to the API is also available via Wikimedia Cloud Services. [20]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 May. It will be on all wikis from 9 May (calendar). [21][22]
When you look at the Special:Log page, the first view is labelled "All public logs", but it only shows some logs. This label will now say "Main public logs". [23]

Recent changes
On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word __EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__ to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [25]
If you use the user-preference "Voorvertoning weergeven zonder de pagina opnieuw te laden", then the template-page feature "Voorvertoning weergeven met dit sjabloon" will now also work without reloading the page. [26]
Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the alt= attribute. This is identical in usage to the alt= attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [27]
The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [28]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (calendar). [29][30]
The Speciaal:Zoeken results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [31]
Future changes
In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [32]
Two columns of the pagelinks database table (pl_namespace and pl_title) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the new linktarget table instead (lt_namespace and lt_title). In your existing SQL queries:
Replace JOIN pagelinks with JOIN linktarget and pl_ with lt_ in the ON statement
Below that add JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id

The Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [35]
New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [36][37]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (calendar). [38][39]
The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.

Recent changes
Several bugs related to the latest updates to the UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons have been fixed. For more information, see T365107 and T365119.
In March 2024 a new addPortlet API was added to allow gadgets to create new portlets (menus) in the skin. In certain skins this can be used to create dropdowns. Gadget developers are invited to try it and give feedback.
Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration. Interface editors should check the rendering on mobile devices for aspects related to the classes: .collapsible, .multicol, .reflist, .coordinates, .topicon. Further details are available on replacement CSS if it is needed.
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 May. It will be on all wikis from 30 May (calendar). [40][41]
When you visit a wiki where you don't yet have a local account, local rules such as edit filters can sometimes prevent your account from being created. Starting this week, MediaWiki takes your global rights into account when evaluating whether you can override such local rules. [42]

Hallo XXBlackburnXx, ik zag deze terugdraaiing en vraag me af waarom? We zetten in een beschrijving van een afbeelding altijd een beschrijving van wat of wie erop te zien is. Niet de bestandsnaam. LeeGer28 mei 2024 11:30 (CEST)Reageren
Dit zijn bewerkingen van een gebruiker die al duizenden geblokkeerde en vergrendelde sokpoppen onder z'n naam heeft. Dit is natuurlijk niet de reden van de terugdraaiingen maar de reden is dat er bij sommige bewerkingen bewust verkeerde informatie wordt toegevoegd of gevandaliseerd. Ik heb de bewerkingen gewoon voor de zekerheid teruggedraaid zonder naar de inhoud te kijken. Achteraf gezien misschien een extreme maatregel geweest. - XXBlackburnXx (overleg) 29 mei 2024 03:00 (CEST)Reageren
Ik ben het wat dit betreft eens met LeeGer. Een aanpassing als deze was als zodanig gewoon prima in orde. Dat na meer dan een half jaar alsnog terugdraaien naar een oude, slechtere versie van de afbeelding enkel omdat de bewerking in kwestie gedaan blijkt te zijn door een geblokkeerde sokpop, is de inhoud ondergeschikt maken aan andere zaken. Jammer. De Wikischim (overleg) 29 mei 2024 19:15 (CEST)Reageren

Hoi XXBlackburnXx,
Ik zie dat FateHags weer eens bezig is op fr- en es-wiki. Ik zag dat je de bewerking weer had teruggedraaid Ik heb global locks aangevraagd bij de stewards, maar is er een manier dat ik dit sneller kan aanvragen/bekijken? Ik heb geen bewerkingsrechten op Meta en moet iedere keer een edit aanvragen, wat nogal omslachtig is als naar mijn schatting de gebruiker in kwestie nog minstens 89 andere sokpoppen gaat aanmaken.
Wat metawiki betreft: je moet minstens 5 bewerkingen hebben daar om m:SRG te kunnen bewerken. Hier kan ik niets aan doen. Misschien zou je best even een paar bewerkingen in de m:Sandbox doen of een gebruikerspagina aanmaken zodat je boven die grens zit, maar de edit requests worden in ieder geval wel in de gaten gehouden.
Betreffende FateHags (ongewenste gebruikersnaam trouwens): Ik heb een globaal filter aangepast zodat alle bewerkingen met de volledige naam (en varianten daarvan) worden tegengehouden, ook op frwiki en eswiki. Als hij doorgaat, kan ik een strenger filter aanmaken, maar dat lijkt nu nog niet nodig. Ik hou de betreffende pagina's in de gaten. - XXBlackburnXx (overleg) 29 mei 2024 17:13 (CEST)Reageren
Dankjewel! Ik maak nog wel een gebruikerspagina of zo op metawiki, en hou de rest wel in de gaten. Supreme Bananas (overleg) 29 mei 2024 17:56 (CEST)Reageren

Hey Blackburn,
Ik zag dat je Speciaal:Filter/23 had verwijderd. Dat filter was bedoeld om wijzigingen zoals deze tegen te houden. Momenteel worden die helemaal niet gemarkeerd of tegengehouden. Waarom heb je die verwijderd en kan je kijken of die in die (of een andere) vorm teruggezet kan worden? Sum?urai8?6 jun 2024 22:50 (CEST)Reageren
