Tech News: 2024-26[edit]
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions on the project talkpage. [1]
- The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode. [2]
Problems
- You can copy permanent links to talk page comments by clicking on a comment's timestamp. This feature did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug. [3]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 June. It will be on all wikis from 27 June (calendar). [4][5]- Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this feature on Diff or on Mediawiki.org. [6]

Songs[edit]
What was the purpose of these articles: Samgrame (song) and Lokiverse (song). I have redirected them because the sourcing was very poor and the sourcing in the article did not mention it. Samgrame sounds cool wish there was a full version. DareshMohan (talk) 08:09, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Spare some time?[edit]
Hi, there is a move discussion at Talk:Public Sector Undertakings in India which is receiving less participation and is likely to be closed without a clear consensus. I would greatly appreciate if you could spare some time and leave your valuable opinion. Thank you. Have a great day. 2409:4073:104:92C2:9939:2182:D47D:646F (talk) 16:44, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Lokiverse 2.0 song cover.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Lokiverse 2.0 song cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:24, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
About your DCWC submisison[edit]
Hey Vestrian24Bio! This is about your (potential) submission 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup final. For points tracking purposes, please make sure you're submitting articles under a single country, even if they qualify under more than one. The same applies for the reviews request sidebar, where horizontal space is a rapidly diminishing commodity and too many flags can be distracting. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:06, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- At first, I didn't even know this article qualified for DCWC, until someone listed it on Eligible reviews; I just copied what was there, that's all. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:17, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-27[edit]
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update. [7]
- Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [8]
- If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [9][10]
- Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [11]
- Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Mandailing (
w:btm:) [12]
Problems
- Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team. [13]
Future changes
- Please help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 2 weeks. The survey is covered by this privacy statement. Some translations are available.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup final you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Magentic Manifestations -- Magentic Manifestations (talk) 13:02, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup final[edit]
The article 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup final you nominated as a good article has failed 
; see Talk:2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup final for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Magentic Manifestations -- Magentic Manifestations (talk) 13:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Vestrian24Bio Hi! I had taken this as a review and provided comprehensive comments on it. If you require any clarification or want to engage in a discussion, ping me as required. With the required modifications and some time for stability, the article might be good to go. As a suggestion, I can still see a lot of edits on this happening, if there are non-constructive, you should probably seek a page protection again as it might hamper your efforts to take it to a GA. All the best! Thanks! Magentic Manifestations (talk) 08:36, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
