Is there a good WS project or collection for such things? Does it make sense to have a language-neutral wikiproject for collecting this type of knowledge across the field? [[User:Sj|Sj]] ([[User talk:Sj|talk]]) 18:52, 11 February 2026 (UTC) :{{en|My initial thought is that it makes the most sense to transcribe the original text on [[:en:]] (or whatever the source language is) and then allow the other languages' projects to pursue their own translations in accordance with their own policies. Perhaps coordination could be done via a multilingual wikiproject, like [[Wiksource:WikiProject Translations]] or similar. I've just started looking around the multilingual wikisource myself so I'm not sure if we have any more infrastructure than the mere ''possibility ''of organizing such a thing. -- [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 22:43, 2 March 2026 (UTC)}} == Did some Author category cleanup, thinking about next steps == {{en| Good morning all, I recently moved around a bunch of categories in [[:Category:Authors]]. Notable additions include [[:Category:Authors by language]], [[:Category:Authors by profession]]. I also updated [[WS:LANG]] to include a column for language-specific Author categories, which are also (generally) collected in [[:Category:Authors by language]]. There is presently no consistent organization for the language author categories, which I think is fine, but I'd be interested in making some kind of consistency which we can use going forward. : My thinking is that we could create categories like [[:Category:eng authors]] or [[:Category:zho authors]] for all of the languages represented here on multi-language wikisource with ISO-639 codes. Then, either redirect those pages to their respective language-specific Author categories (when they exist); or use them as their own category which would then be categorized into both the language's category and [[:Category:Authors by language]]. For example, [[:Category:lv authors]] would redirect to the Latvian-language [[:Category:Autori]], while [[:Category:tpn authors]] would serve as the equivalent Tupi-language category. This would help provide some useful infrastructure to support new languages works and authors in the future. : Thoughts? I'm open to suggestions. Don't want to be overly English-oriented, or create too much administrative burden for new users and language content. -- [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 18:26, 3 March 2026 (UTC)}} :{{en|An additional thought: I think it would be helpful if we created category pages for each ISO 639-1 code, possibly -2 or -3 as well for at least the languages included on multilingual wikisource and on their own subdomains. These would generally redirect to the language categories. For example, [[:Category:en]] would redirect to [[:Category:English]], [[:Category:lv]] would redirect to [[:Category:Ladin]], [[:Category:Ru]] would redirect to [[:Category:Русский]]. This would just be helpful for quickly categorizing works without having to find the specific "correct" category. Again, let me know what you think. [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 23:34, 3 March 2026 (UTC)}} :Update to this, I think I really like the solution tried on [[:Category:Pt Português (Portuguese)]], a combination of ISO-639, emic/native language name, and language name in English. I would propose that we move all language categories (ie in [[:Category:Languages]]) to this scheme. Recognizing of course that it can be tricky to mix rtl and ltr systems, as well as across different scripts. Even so, this seems a fair and usable solution. For example: :* [[:Category:English]] -> [[:Category:En English (English)]] :* [[:Category:Ancient Greek]] -> [[:Category:Grc Ἀρχαία ἑλληνική (Ancient Greek)]] :* [[:Category:Polski]] -> [[:Category:Pl Polski (Polish)]] :* [[:Category:Русский]] -> [[:Category:Ru Русский (Russian)]] :* [[:Category:Mingrelian]] -> [[:Category:Xmf მარგალური (Mingrelian)]] :* [[:Category:سِنڌِي]] -> [[:Category:Sd سِنڌِي (Sindhi)]] :Again, let me know what you think. Obviously changing category names can be a huge pain but I think long-term this is as good a plan as any. :[[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 18:23, 14 April 2026 (UTC) ::{{ping|Mathmitch7}} That's indeed a point in which I stumbled and wanted to act upon. I have no opposition to your change. :) Anything that brings a strand of consistency in this mess is welcome. ::For the record -- and this is not meant to hinder your action, just putting ideas out there, -- I was thinking of making category names something much more mechanical, like <code>Category:Works:ru</code> and <code>Category:Authors:ru</code> (or equivalent, as you initially suggested), and then have a gadget that could come by on the client-side and alter the displayed category name depending on the selected language of the user, e.g. if one selects Spanish, those would appear as "Obras (ruso)" and "Autores (ruso)" respectively. This has the advantage of fully implementing the internationalisation ideals of this project, a Spanish speaker should be ideally be able to have the entire project's structural text (i.e. any text that isn't a work transcription) in Spanish. Furthermore, while "native name (english name)" may look perfectly fine for things like Polish, as soon as you get to extinct langauges, or minority languages without a standard orthography, things get problematic. For example, taking from your list, "Ἀρχαία ἑλληνική", does not really mean "Ancient Greek" as ancient Greeks would call it, but rather it's the modern name in ancient spelling (again, it would still be the best option available, so feel free to go with your change), and when it comes to languages like Sumerian, Ugaritic or Ancient Egyptian, what do we put in the native name? In many cases there will be something, but who would that be useful for, except mummies coming back from the dead? This ultimately boils down to an important division that was not well taken into consideration in the Wikisource movement in general: the distinction between ''content languages'' (the language in which the transcribe works are into) and the ''working languages'' (in which the UI appears, a site operates and a community communicates). This is also why, in my opinion, splitting Wikisources into subdomains was a particularly near-sighted move, why does should reading a Latin text come at the price of having Latin UI? Why should there be an entirely separated set of infrastructure (modules, templates) just on the criterion of the language the transcribed work transcribing is in? The split, driven by technical limitations that we had at the time which can easily be fixed in other ways now (like right-to-left text, which prompted the first subdomain, Hebrew Wikisource, which had this catastrophic domino effect) is showing its failure in almost every aspect, both moral and technical, and those paying the price are the minority languages, whose editors are forced to work in this graveyard of incoherent and unmaintained infrastructure, with the hope of getting their own subdomain, only to be then further alienated from the rest of the community once achieved, helpless to infrastructural bugs and vandalism. ::Enough rambling, back to the issue at hand, the proposed gadget idea. Making one is not something impossible, as we have something similar in English Wiktionary, [[wikt:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-categoryTreeLanguageNames.js]], by the excellent coder @[[User:Surjection|Surjection]], where for example if you are on [[:wikt:en:Category:Cats]], the subcategory <code>Category:ru:Cats</code> will display as "Category:ru:Cats <small>[Russian]</small>". A while ago, I tried implementing a similar thing here, but I remember running in a number of technical difficulties. A difference in implementation was that on enwikt the scope is much more limited -- the only needed display language is English, -- and since that project employs some non-ISO language codes, the most sensible idea was to have a project-specific JSON to house all the code-to-language correspondences, [[wikt:en:Module:languages/code to canonical name.json]], meanwhile here we need to have the name for every language in every language, with all the fallback rules, which is why we are better off relying on the central Wikimedia database that contains all of that. I cannot remember what ultimately stopped me from finishing this gadget, I think the implementation was getting too hacky. ::'''TLDR''': There are some ultimate issues that you will encounter trying to implement this for every language, but anything would be better than what we have now, so feel free to do it. :) [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 13:44, 15 April 2026 (UTC) :::All these points are well-met (Maybe someday we can re-unite the wikisources :') ). I think that ultimately organizing the kind of gadget you describe is a good plan, and my proposal is an adequate in-between step. I'd maybe like to hear at least one other editor's thoughts on the matter before going ahead with that big of a change, though. :::Maybe analogous categories would be [[:Category:En English Authors]] and [[:Category:Co Autori in corsu (Corsican authors)]]. I don't know, nothing is perfect. :::Do you happen to know if there's a good way to change a category's name other than just moving its page, finding everything that links there, and changing them individually?

Greetings, pleasure to meet you and sorry to disturb. Apologies for writing in English. You appear to be the most active on Multilingual Wikisource of the latest days. I'm sorry for whoever interested I did not alert, I did not want to send out too many unwanted pings. In short, I have written a gadget that can render [[w:Text Encoding Initiative|TEI XML]]-format texts as HTML. (You can turn it on in your preferences and check how it handles [[TEI:Fare i ri ëvetar shqip]]. A brief explanation is at [[Wikisource:TEI Gadget]].) It is a format used for a more scholarly kind of transcription, mainly used for palaeography, manuscripts or thorough critical digital editions. This is not meant as a replacement of the current situation but a way to better digitalise the cases which are not well-handled by Wikitext. For technical reasons, mostly about security, the solution requires a new namespace (i.e. the thing that comes the colon in a page title, like <code>Page:</code> or <code>Talk:</code>), so I have to file a technical request for the namespace <code>TEI:</code>. As regrettably scatterful as this project is, I assume that such a change would not be carried through without an attempt at a discussion with other editors. For this reason, I ask here whether any of you would oppose such a change. Thank you for your love of writing, and the work you do to record it. :) [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 16:23, 13 March 2026 (UTC) {{en|Personally I'm fine with having a TEI: namespace or something similar. Support for this kind of document format would be very helpful and putting TEI documents into their own namespace seems like a good way to integrate it with our existing workflow, using a TEI: page as a source and then transcluding it to a normal "work" namespace using a template/Lua module. : However, I would like to see us think about how we could use TEI or TEI markup alongside the existing Page transcription and transclusion workflow. I think one of the best things about Wikisource is that pages in the mainspace are generally linked back to their source scan in an easily verifiable, traceable, and auditable way. Although TEI is great for transcriptions, I don’t yet see an analogue for that particular type of "backing" to a scan. The example document you link has source information, but some work would need to be done to get to something as granular as what we already have for scan verification and to support proofreading efforts. : That all being said, if the gadget works and TEI-XML is as robust as it appears to be, I’m fine with doing what must be done to implement support for it. If that includes a special namespace, at least here on multilingual ws, I '''support'''. Cheers! -- [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 19:45, 13 March 2026 (UTC)}} ::Hello, thanks for your thoughts and your support! :) I agree that scan-backed transcription is the strongest point of boast for Wikisource. The thing is that the transformers are very versatile, which isn't well visible by the example I gave, which only shows two almost-identical transformer schemes, with the only difference being script (if it can help get the idea, the green-boxed header is also generated by a transformer of the same structure.) With this in mind, my thought was to have "Original scan" as one of the selectable transformers (i.e. a column), which is fairly easily doable, just requires for the transformer to ignore all tags, except for <code><pb/></code> ("page break"), which would show the images. ::I was going to implement this, I didn't because there is an unrelated [[phab:T418178|ongoing bug]] which makes the pages of DJVU files not display. See for example [[Page:Veqilharxhi - Ëvetar (1845).djvu/1]] (the same work already in wikitext). The page image used to work a while ago. So for now it would have looked like a bunch of error messages in mainspace. But it's definitely doable once the bug is fixed. :) ::This to me is also a way to make the scans more immediately accessible to the reader. I find them to be very valuable, especially in cases of manuscripts and other kind of texts in which TEI in particular shines, and having scans into a separate namespace always felt a bit like hiding them to me. The idea of having them user-toggleable seemed quite neat. ::Admittedly, it is true that it will never be as easy. TEI is inevitable much more cumbersome, difficult to learn and master, and in many cases harder to read from the source. The main workspace of editors using will most likely never be the Wikisource editor box, but rather VS Code with the "Scholarly XML" extension (AFAIK, most accessible widely used TEI environment), or similar software. For these reason, I emphasise that that TEI is meant for those who particularly have a lot of time and dedication at their disposal, and are willing to go through the hardships that are required to get something of academic quality. The vast majority of texts will be kept in wikitext. [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 20:32, 13 March 2026 (UTC) :What are the security concerns of having such a namespace enabled and how would you deal with them? Recently there was a mass deletion of random articles in multiple wikis because of a personal JS script gone rogue. PS: (I am well in favor of offering the wide community a sufficiently good for them standard for transcribing. Also I guess there is plenty of text already transcribed this way we could incorporate.) [[User:Ignacio Rodríguez|Ignacio Rodríguez]] ([[User talk:Ignacio Rodríguez|talk]]) 11:36, 1 April 2026 (UTC) ::{{ping|Ignacio Rodríguez}} Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see your message, and thank you for your support. Since my post here I have come to a solution, which is to handle the TEI-to-HTML transformation within Lua, and let the gadget only handle the columns display. This has a number of disadvantages: JavaScript is much better at handling XML (it was infact built for that purpose), now a separate [[Module:XML|Lua XML parser]] is required and we are likely to hit Lua's memory limit with files too large, while a pure JS implementation was much easier to maintain and had no limitations. However we cannot let just any editor write JavaScript that runs on other people's browsers, as the event you mention exemplifies, so the script pages would have needed to be protected under some specific right. But being able to edit and write these scripts is such a central thing for my intended versatile implementation of TEI that I would rather hit the memory limit rather than only allowing very few people to benefit from the infrastructure. As such, the security justification should be gone once I fully implement the Lua solution, and the namespace will be requested only for conceptual reasons. [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 20:24, 12 April 2026 (UTC) :::@[[User:Catonif|Catonif]] maybe it would be better in the long run to build a TEI MediaWiki extension. The gadget is fine by now, but memory limits are concerning. I am no coder but I can cheer you up. For the record I support the creation of the TEI Namespace. [[User:Ignacio Rodríguez|Ignacio Rodríguez]] ([[User talk:Ignacio Rodríguez|talk]]) 22:44, 12 April 2026 (UTC) ::::{{ping|Ignacio Rodríguez}} Absolutely agreed. There exist, in fact, [[mw:Extension:TEI]] and [[mw:Extension:CETEIcean]], which I tried testing around, on my own installing of MediaWiki. These are not very well documented projects and it was quite difficult to untangle something out of the code, but to me these seem overly complicated systems with a much more limited outcome, lacking the versatility that TEI was built with in mind, hence not very fit for a project like Wikisource. Furthermore, Extension:TEI, from a quick glance, does not appear to be fully TEI-compliant, allowing for questionable tag names (see [https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-TEI/blob/master/includes/Converter/TeiToHtmlConversion.php here]), as <code><hi-rend-big></code> instead of <code><hi rend="big"></code>, while CETEIcean is not HTML-compliant, as you can see from your inspector on [https://codecs.vanhamel.nl/Cetei:AU-test this example], with tag names like <code><tei-p></code> in the HTML fed straight to the browser. I had even tried making my own extension, only to realise that it is much beyond my capabilities, and eventually settled for an awkward Lua implementation. Then I got the idea of a much cleaner JavaScript system, only to come back to Lua in the end for the reasons described. My hope is that my implementation is merely a proof of concept for someone more knowledgeable to notice and make better.

'''What You Need To Do:'''<br /> To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search. '''Deadline:'''<br /> We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles. Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic.

This configuration tends to be exploited by some vandals, who create accounts and start to use them only after some time. To mitigate this, the configuration will be updated next week so that – for the purpose of becoming autoconfirmed – the account age will be counted from their first edit, instead of registration date. The numeric value of the age threshold will remain the same. This change will be deployed only to wikis which require at least one edit as part of the autoconfirmation conditions.

The Live Updates mode now refreshes the special page every 60 seconds to comply with the updated [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|global API rate limits]] for improved real-time responsiveness. Additionally, a directionality bug that displayed links as "changes 3" instead of "3 changes" in mixed-direction lists has been fixed.

The change will only affect logged-out users on mobile web who open an editing session. The updated experience is designed to encourage account creation more clearly, while still allowing users to edit with temporary accounts. Results from the experiment showed a significant increase in account creation, with a 27% relative lift among users shown the updated message. As expected, as more people funnel into account creation, temporary accounts decreased by a relative 16%.

Communities are encouraged to prepare by checking for [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=ext-cite&language=en&action_source=search&filter=%21translated&optional=1&action=translate untranslated Cite extension messages] in their language and reviewing any use of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reference Tooltips|Reference Tooltips]], which may require [[:phab:T416304#11668731|updates]] to support the new functionality. Wikis using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Reference Previews|Reference Previews]] do not need to take any action. Communities may also wish to create the ''cite-tracking-category-ref-details'' [[Special:TrackingCategories|tracking category]] as a hidden category using <code><nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki></code> (or a dedicated template), and connect it to the corresponding Wikidata item [[d:Q129764848]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T425662] * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews#Experimentation|Page Previews experiment]] on mobile web has concluded. The team decided not to roll out the feature after the results showed no statistically significant impact on reader retention, as the primary success metric was retention improvement. Page Previews, which are already available on desktop and in the apps, display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and link to the full article when readers tap a blue link. The experiment tested this experience on mobile web across six Wikipedias. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex/Design/Icons|user interface icon library]] will be [[phab:T399175|updated later this week or next week]]. Most of the ~300 icons have been slightly refined and ~30 new icons have been added. These changes improve the icons to make them more consistent and comprehensible, and provide more visual balance when they are used in groups. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector|Universal Language Selector]] (ULS) interface in MediaWiki, which helps users select content in other languages, has been updated. The new version improves speed and accessibility, and users of Wikimedia projects can now pin languages for quicker language switching. The deployment to Wikimedia sites will happen gradually in the coming weeks. You can test it now as a beta feature by selecting [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta features]] in your profile preferences and share your feedback on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector/New ULS|the project page]]. * [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:21}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:21|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T427171] '''Updates for technical contributors''' * The function signature for <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>mw.util.addPortletLink()</nowiki></code></bdi> has been simplified. Developers can now pass a configuration object instead of a list of positional parameters when creating portlet links. The previous function signature remains supported for backwards compatibility. For example, instead of: <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', '#', 'Stub', 'ca-stubtag', 'Add a stub tag to this page');</nowiki></code></bdi> use <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', { href: '#', text: 'Stub', id: 'ca-stubtag', tooltip: 'Add a stub tag to this page' });</nowiki></code></bdi>. Script maintainers are encouraged to review existing uses of <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>addPortletLink()</nowiki></code></bdi> and update them where appropriate. This change will be available on all wikis from 11 June. Thanks to community volunteer Gerges for contributing this improvement.

The feature shows an image carousel at the top of articles with 3 or more images. Editors can configure this feature with the following controls: to hide a specific image from a page, either use <code>class=notpageimage</code> excluding it from thumbnail previews, or <code>class=noviewer</code> excluding it from MediaViewer. The carousel can also be disabled from a page entirely, with the magic word <code><nowiki>__NOMEDIAVIEWERCAROUSEL__</nowiki></code>.

Notable additions include [[:Category:Authors by language]], [[:Category:Authors by profession]]. I also updated [[WS:LANG]] to include a column for language-specific Author categories, which are also (generally) collected in [[:Category:Authors by language]]. There is presently no consistent organization for the language author categories, which I think is fine, but I'd be interested in making some kind of consistency which we can use going forward. : My thinking is that we could create categories like [[:Category:eng authors]] or [[:Category:zho authors]] for all of the languages represented here on multi-language wikisource with ISO-639 codes. Then, either redirect those pages to their respective language-specific Author categories (when they exist); or use them as their own category which would then be categorized into both the language's category and [[:Category:Authors by language]]. For example, [[:Category:lv authors]] would redirect to the Latvian-language [[:Category:Autori]], while [[:Category:tpn authors]] would serve as the equivalent Tupi-language category. This would help provide some useful infrastructure to support new languages works and authors in the future. : Thoughts? I'm open to suggestions. Don't want to be overly English-oriented, or create too much administrative burden for new users and language content. -- [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 18:26, 3 March 2026 (UTC)}} :{{en|An additional thought: I think it would be helpful if we created category pages for each ISO 639-1 code, possibly -2 or -3 as well for at least the languages included on multilingual wikisource and on their own subdomains. These would generally redirect to the language categories. For example, [[:Category:en]] would redirect to [[:Category:English]], [[:Category:lv]] would redirect to [[:Category:Ladin]], [[:Category:Ru]] would redirect to [[:Category:Русский]]. This would just be helpful for quickly categorizing works without having to find the specific "correct" category. Again, let me know what you think. [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 23:34, 3 March 2026 (UTC)}} :Update to this, I think I really like the solution tried on [[:Category:Pt Português (Portuguese)]], a combination of ISO-639, emic/native language name, and language name in English. I would propose that we move all language categories (ie in [[:Category:Languages]]) to this scheme. Recognizing of course that it can be tricky to mix rtl and ltr systems, as well as across different scripts. Even so, this seems a fair and usable solution. For example: :* [[:Category:English]] -> [[:Category:En English (English)]] :* [[:Category:Ancient Greek]] -> [[:Category:Grc Ἀρχαία ἑλληνική (Ancient Greek)]] :* [[:Category:Polski]] -> [[:Category:Pl Polski (Polish)]] :* [[:Category:Русский]] -> [[:Category:Ru Русский (Russian)]] :* [[:Category:Mingrelian]] -> [[:Category:Xmf მარგალური (Mingrelian)]] :* [[:Category:سِنڌِي]] -> [[:Category:Sd سِنڌِي (Sindhi)]] :Again, let me know what you think.

I have no opposition to your change. :) Anything that brings a strand of consistency in this mess is welcome. ::For the record -- and this is not meant to hinder your action, just putting ideas out there, -- I was thinking of making category names something much more mechanical, like <code>Category:Works:ru</code> and <code>Category:Authors:ru</code> (or equivalent, as you initially suggested), and then have a gadget that could come by on the client-side and alter the displayed category name depending on the selected language of the user, e.g. if one selects Spanish, those would appear as "Obras (ruso)" and "Autores (ruso)" respectively. This has the advantage of fully implementing the internationalisation ideals of this project, a Spanish speaker should be ideally be able to have the entire project's structural text (i.e. any text that isn't a work transcription) in Spanish. Furthermore, while "native name (english name)" may look perfectly fine for things like Polish, as soon as you get to extinct langauges, or minority languages without a standard orthography, things get problematic. For example, taking from your list, "Ἀρχαία ἑλληνική", does not really mean "Ancient Greek" as ancient Greeks would call it, but rather it's the modern name in ancient spelling (again, it would still be the best option available, so feel free to go with your change), and when it comes to languages like Sumerian, Ugaritic or Ancient Egyptian, what do we put in the native name? In many cases there will be something, but who would that be useful for, except mummies coming back from the dead? This ultimately boils down to an important division that was not well taken into consideration in the Wikisource movement in general: the distinction between ''content languages'' (the language in which the transcribe works are into) and the ''working languages'' (in which the UI appears, a site operates and a community communicates). This is also why, in my opinion, splitting Wikisources into subdomains was a particularly near-sighted move, why does should reading a Latin text come at the price of having Latin UI? Why should there be an entirely separated set of infrastructure (modules, templates) just on the criterion of the language the transcribed work transcribing is in? The split, driven by technical limitations that we had at the time which can easily be fixed in other ways now (like right-to-left text, which prompted the first subdomain, Hebrew Wikisource, which had this catastrophic domino effect) is showing its failure in almost every aspect, both moral and technical, and those paying the price are the minority languages, whose editors are forced to work in this graveyard of incoherent and unmaintained infrastructure, with the hope of getting their own subdomain, only to be then further alienated from the rest of the community once achieved, helpless to infrastructural bugs and vandalism. ::Enough rambling, back to the issue at hand, the proposed gadget idea. Making one is not something impossible, as we have something similar in English Wiktionary, [[wikt:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-categoryTreeLanguageNames.js]], by the excellent coder @[[User:Surjection|Surjection]], where for example if you are on [[:wikt:en:Category:Cats]], the subcategory <code>Category:ru:Cats</code> will display as "Category:ru:Cats <small>[Russian]</small>". A while ago, I tried implementing a similar thing here, but I remember running in a number of technical difficulties. A difference in implementation was that on enwikt the scope is much more limited -- the only needed display language is English, -- and since that project employs some non-ISO language codes, the most sensible idea was to have a project-specific JSON to house all the code-to-language correspondences, [[wikt:en:Module:languages/code to canonical name.json]], meanwhile here we need to have the name for every language in every language, with all the fallback rules, which is why we are better off relying on the central Wikimedia database that contains all of that. I cannot remember what ultimately stopped me from finishing this gadget, I think the implementation was getting too hacky. ::'''TLDR''': There are some ultimate issues that you will encounter trying to implement this for every language, but anything would be better than what we have now, so feel free to do it. :) [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 13:44, 15 April 2026 (UTC) :::All these points are well-met (Maybe someday we can re-unite the wikisources :') ).

Greetings, pleasure to meet you and sorry to disturb. Apologies for writing in English. You appear to be the most active on Multilingual Wikisource of the latest days. I'm sorry for whoever interested I did not alert, I did not want to send out too many unwanted pings. In short, I have written a gadget that can render [[w:Text Encoding Initiative|TEI XML]]-format texts as HTML. (You can turn it on in your preferences and check how it handles [[TEI:Fare i ri ëvetar shqip]]. A brief explanation is at [[Wikisource:TEI Gadget]].) It is a format used for a more scholarly kind of transcription, mainly used for palaeography, manuscripts or thorough critical digital editions. This is not meant as a replacement of the current situation but a way to better digitalise the cases which are not well-handled by Wikitext. For technical reasons, mostly about security, the solution requires a new namespace (i.e. the thing that comes the colon in a page title, like <code>Page:</code> or <code>Talk:</code>), so I have to file a technical request for the namespace <code>TEI:</code>. As regrettably scatterful as this project is, I assume that such a change would not be carried through without an attempt at a discussion with other editors. For this reason, I ask here whether any of you would oppose such a change.

Support for this kind of document format would be very helpful and putting TEI documents into their own namespace seems like a good way to integrate it with our existing workflow, using a TEI: page as a source and then transcluding it to a normal "work" namespace using a template/Lua module. : However, I would like to see us think about how we could use TEI or TEI markup alongside the existing Page transcription and transclusion workflow. I think one of the best things about Wikisource is that pages in the mainspace are generally linked back to their source scan in an easily verifiable, traceable, and auditable way. Although TEI is great for transcriptions, I don’t yet see an analogue for that particular type of "backing" to a scan. The example document you link has source information, but some work would need to be done to get to something as granular as what we already have for scan verification and to support proofreading efforts. : That all being said, if the gadget works and TEI-XML is as robust as it appears to be, I’m fine with doing what must be done to implement support for it.

The thing is that the transformers are very versatile, which isn't well visible by the example I gave, which only shows two almost-identical transformer schemes, with the only difference being script (if it can help get the idea, the green-boxed header is also generated by a transformer of the same structure.) With this in mind, my thought was to have "Original scan" as one of the selectable transformers (i.e. a column), which is fairly easily doable, just requires for the transformer to ignore all tags, except for <code><pb/></code> ("page break"), which would show the images. ::I was going to implement this, I didn't because there is an unrelated [[phab:T418178|ongoing bug]] which makes the pages of DJVU files not display. See for example [[Page:Veqilharxhi - Ëvetar (1845).djvu/1]] (the same work already in wikitext). The page image used to work a while ago. So for now it would have looked like a bunch of error messages in mainspace. But it's definitely doable once the bug is fixed. :) ::This to me is also a way to make the scans more immediately accessible to the reader. I find them to be very valuable, especially in cases of manuscripts and other kind of texts in which TEI in particular shines, and having scans into a separate namespace always felt a bit like hiding them to me. The idea of having them user-toggleable seemed quite neat. ::Admittedly, it is true that it will never be as easy. TEI is inevitable much more cumbersome, difficult to learn and master, and in many cases harder to read from the source. The main workspace of editors using will most likely never be the Wikisource editor box, but rather VS Code with the "Scholarly XML" extension (AFAIK, most accessible widely used TEI environment), or similar software. For these reason, I emphasise that that TEI is meant for those who particularly have a lot of time and dedication at their disposal, and are willing to go through the hardships that are required to get something of academic quality. The vast majority of texts will be kept in wikitext. [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 20:32, 13 March 2026 (UTC) :What are the security concerns of having such a namespace enabled and how would you deal with them? Recently there was a mass deletion of random articles in multiple wikis because of a personal JS script gone rogue. PS: (I am well in favor of offering the wide community a sufficiently good for them standard for transcribing. Also I guess there is plenty of text already transcribed this way we could incorporate.) [[User:Ignacio Rodríguez|Ignacio Rodríguez]] ([[User talk:Ignacio Rodríguez|talk]]) 11:36, 1 April 2026 (UTC) ::{{ping|Ignacio Rodríguez}} Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see your message, and thank you for your support. Since my post here I have come to a solution, which is to handle the TEI-to-HTML transformation within Lua, and let the gadget only handle the columns display. This has a number of disadvantages: JavaScript is much better at handling XML (it was infact built for that purpose), now a separate [[Module:XML|Lua XML parser]] is required and we are likely to hit Lua's memory limit with files too large, while a pure JS implementation was much easier to maintain and had no limitations. However we cannot let just any editor write JavaScript that runs on other people's browsers, as the event you mention exemplifies, so the script pages would have needed to be protected under some specific right. But being able to edit and write these scripts is such a central thing for my intended versatile implementation of TEI that I would rather hit the memory limit rather than only allowing very few people to benefit from the infrastructure. As such, the security justification should be gone once I fully implement the Lua solution, and the namespace will be requested only for conceptual reasons. [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 20:24, 12 April 2026 (UTC) :::@[[User:Catonif|Catonif]] maybe it would be better in the long run to build a TEI MediaWiki extension. The gadget is fine by now, but memory limits are concerning. I am no coder but I can cheer you up. For the record I support the creation of the TEI Namespace. [[User:Ignacio Rodríguez|Ignacio Rodríguez]] ([[User talk:Ignacio Rodríguez|talk]]) 22:44, 12 April 2026 (UTC) ::::{{ping|Ignacio Rodríguez}} Absolutely agreed. There exist, in fact, [[mw:Extension:TEI]] and [[mw:Extension:CETEIcean]], which I tried testing around, on my own installing of MediaWiki. These are not very well documented projects and it was quite difficult to untangle something out of the code, but to me these seem overly complicated systems with a much more limited outcome, lacking the versatility that TEI was built with in mind, hence not very fit for a project like Wikisource. Furthermore, Extension:TEI, from a quick glance, does not appear to be fully TEI-compliant, allowing for questionable tag names (see [https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-TEI/blob/master/includes/Converter/TeiToHtmlConversion.php here]), as <code><hi-rend-big></code> instead of <code><hi rend="big"></code>, while CETEIcean is not HTML-compliant, as you can see from your inspector on [https://codecs.vanhamel.nl/Cetei:AU-test this example], with tag names like <code><tei-p></code> in the HTML fed straight to the browser. I had even tried making my own extension, only to realise that it is much beyond my capabilities, and eventually settled for an awkward Lua implementation. Then I got the idea of a much cleaner JavaScript system, only to come back to Lua in the end for the reasons described. My hope is that my implementation is merely a proof of concept for someone more knowledgeable to notice and make better.

'''Updates for editors''' * There is a change in how new users are autoconfirmed that will improve anti-vandalism protection. Currently, users who have had an account for a few days and made a few edits are automatically added to the [[{{int:grouppage-autoconfirmed/{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}}}|{{int:group-autoconfirmed}}]] group. This configuration tends to be exploited by some vandals, who create accounts and start to use them only after some time. To mitigate this, the configuration will be updated next week so that – for the purpose of becoming autoconfirmed – the account age will be counted from their first edit, instead of registration date. The numeric value of the age threshold will remain the same. This change will be deployed only to wikis which require at least one edit as part of the autoconfirmation conditions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418484] * All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the "automatically enable most beta features" option in their preference can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|reading lists]] beta feature to save articles for later reading.

As a result, existing preferences will be mapped to the nearest new size (for example, smaller selections like 120px or 150px will render at 180px, while larger ones like 300px or 360px will render at 400px).

'''Weekly highlight''' * Following a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#LOWM|successful account creation experiment]], an improved logged-out edit warning message will be deployed to all Wikimedia wikis in the first week of June. The change will only affect logged-out users on mobile web who open an editing session. The updated experience is designed to encourage account creation more clearly, while still allowing users to edit with temporary accounts. Results from the experiment showed a significant increase in account creation, with a 27% relative lift among users shown the updated message. As expected, as more people funnel into account creation, temporary accounts decreased by a relative 16%. The experiment did not show any significant changes in constructive edit rates or other monitored contributor metrics. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T424595] '''Updates for editors''' * For security reasons, members of certain user groups are [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|required to have two-factor authentication]] (2FA) enabled. Members of these groups will be unable to disable the last 2FA method on their account, and it will be impossible to add users without 2FA to these groups. Users will still be able to add new authentication methods or remove them, as long as at least one method is continuously enabled. In the next few weeks, users without 2FA will be removed from these groups. Notably, this applies to bureaucrats. See the linked tasks for deployment schedules.

The experiment will run for ~2 weeks at the end of May / beginning of June and will affect 10% of desktop readers on the participating wikis. * After two successful experiments, the Reader Growth team is rolling out an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Image Browsing|Image Browsing]] beta feature for all Wikipedias on mobile on May 25. This means that anyone who has all beta features on by default will start to see this feature, and others can check the box to turn it on in their preferences. The beta feature will include a carousel of all an article's images at the top of the article, with controls for editors to [[mw:Readers/Reader_Growth/Image_Browsing#Phase_2.1_beta_feature|exclude images from the article's carousel or to exclude an article from the feature entirely]]. * [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:30}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:30|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Weekly highlight''' * Wikimedia Enterprise has increased the free usage limits for its API offerings. The monthly request limit for the On-demand API has increased from 5,000 to 50,000 requests, while the Snapshot API limit has increased from 15 to 30 requests per month. In addition, Structured Contents snapshots are now available for free accounts. These changes expand access to Wikimedia Enterprise data for developers, researchers, and organizations using Wikimedia content. [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/enhanced-free-api] '''Updates for editors''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh/Phase 1|refreshed Explore Feed]], now called the Home Feed, is rolling out to 50% of users of the Wikipedia Android app. The Home Feed helps readers discover relevant content through two new tabs: ''Community'' and ''For You''. The Community tab provides a scrollable feed of curated content and updates from the broader Wikimedia community and movement, while the ''For You'' tab offers a full-screen, swipeable experience that shows content tailored to a user's interests. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve discovery and enhance the learning experience in the Wikipedia app. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/"Which came first?" Game|Which came first?]] daily trivia game is now available in the beta version of the Wikipedia iOS app in English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. The game uses historical events from Wikipedia's "On This Day" content and challenges readers to guess which of two events happened first. The game was previously released on Android. Communities interested in making the game available in their languages can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Games#Game availability by language|read the instructions and requirements]]. * [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|Sub-referencing]], a new MediaWiki feature that allows editors to reuse references with different details, will begin rolling out to Wikimedia wikis following a successful pilot phase. Deployment will start on 8 June for most [[wikitech:Deployments/Train#Wednesday|Group 1 wikis]] and French Wikipedia, with additional Wikipedia language editions receiving the feature over the coming months. Communities are encouraged to prepare by checking for [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=ext-cite&language=en&action_source=search&filter=%21translated&optional=1&action=translate untranslated Cite extension messages] in their language and reviewing any use of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reference Tooltips|Reference Tooltips]], which may require [[:phab:T416304#11668731|updates]] to support the new functionality. Wikis using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Reference Previews|Reference Previews]] do not need to take any action. Communities may also wish to create the ''cite-tracking-category-ref-details'' [[Special:TrackingCategories|tracking category]] as a hidden category using <code><nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki></code> (or a dedicated template), and connect it to the corresponding Wikidata item [[d:Q129764848]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T425662] * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews#Experimentation|Page Previews experiment]] on mobile web has concluded. The team decided not to roll out the feature after the results showed no statistically significant impact on reader retention, as the primary success metric was retention improvement. Page Previews, which are already available on desktop and in the apps, display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and link to the full article when readers tap a blue link. The experiment tested this experience on mobile web across six Wikipedias. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex/Design/Icons|user interface icon library]] will be [[phab:T399175|updated later this week or next week]]. Most of the ~300 icons have been slightly refined and ~30 new icons have been added. These changes improve the icons to make them more consistent and comprehensible, and provide more visual balance when they are used in groups. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector|Universal Language Selector]] (ULS) interface in MediaWiki, which helps users select content in other languages, has been updated. The new version improves speed and accessibility, and users of Wikimedia projects can now pin languages for quicker language switching. The deployment to Wikimedia sites will happen gradually in the coming weeks. You can test it now as a beta feature by selecting [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta features]] in your profile preferences and share your feedback on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector/New ULS|the project page]]. * [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:21}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:21|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

Developers can now pass a configuration object instead of a list of positional parameters when creating portlet links. The previous function signature remains supported for backwards compatibility. For example, instead of: <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', '#', 'Stub', 'ca-stubtag', 'Add a stub tag to this page');</nowiki></code></bdi> use <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', { href: '#', text: 'Stub', id: 'ca-stubtag', tooltip: 'Add a stub tag to this page' });</nowiki></code></bdi>. Script maintainers are encouraged to review existing uses of <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>addPortletLink()</nowiki></code></bdi> and update them where appropriate.

The feature shows an image carousel at the top of articles with 3 or more images. Editors can configure this feature with the following controls: to hide a specific image from a page, either use <code>class=notpageimage</code> excluding it from thumbnail previews, or <code>class=noviewer</code> excluding it from MediaViewer.

With the update, <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>-prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> will now strictly exclude matching page titles as intended and may display a warning if the relevant namespace has not been explicitly selected.

[[User:Sj|Sj]] ([[User talk:Sj|talk]]) 18:52, 11 February 2026 (UTC) :{{en|My initial thought is that it makes the most sense to transcribe the original text on [[:en:]] (or whatever the source language is) and then allow the other languages' projects to pursue their own translations in accordance with their own policies. Perhaps coordination could be done via a multilingual wikiproject, like [[Wiksource:WikiProject Translations]] or similar. I've just started looking around the multilingual wikisource myself so I'm not sure if we have any more infrastructure than the mere ''possibility ''of organizing such a thing. -- [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 22:43, 2 March 2026 (UTC)}} == Did some Author category cleanup, thinking about next steps == {{en| Good morning all, I recently moved around a bunch of categories in [[:Category:Authors]]. Notable additions include [[:Category:Authors by language]], [[:Category:Authors by profession]]. I also updated [[WS:LANG]] to include a column for language-specific Author categories, which are also (generally) collected in [[:Category:Authors by language]]. There is presently no consistent organization for the language author categories, which I think is fine, but I'd be interested in making some kind of consistency which we can use going forward. : My thinking is that we could create categories like [[:Category:eng authors]] or [[:Category:zho authors]] for all of the languages represented here on multi-language wikisource with ISO-639 codes. Then, either redirect those pages to their respective language-specific Author categories (when they exist); or use them as their own category which would then be categorized into both the language's category and [[:Category:Authors by language]]. For example, [[:Category:lv authors]] would redirect to the Latvian-language [[:Category:Autori]], while [[:Category:tpn authors]] would serve as the equivalent Tupi-language category. This would help provide some useful infrastructure to support new languages works and authors in the future. : Thoughts? I'm open to suggestions. Don't want to be overly English-oriented, or create too much administrative burden for new users and language content. -- [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 18:26, 3 March 2026 (UTC)}} :{{en|An additional thought: I think it would be helpful if we created category pages for each ISO 639-1 code, possibly -2 or -3 as well for at least the languages included on multilingual wikisource and on their own subdomains. These would generally redirect to the language categories. For example, [[:Category:en]] would redirect to [[:Category:English]], [[:Category:lv]] would redirect to [[:Category:Ladin]], [[:Category:Ru]] would redirect to [[:Category:Русский]]. This would just be helpful for quickly categorizing works without having to find the specific "correct" category. Again, let me know what you think. [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 23:34, 3 March 2026 (UTC)}} :Update to this, I think I really like the solution tried on [[:Category:Pt Português (Portuguese)]], a combination of ISO-639, emic/native language name, and language name in English. I would propose that we move all language categories (ie in [[:Category:Languages]]) to this scheme. Recognizing of course that it can be tricky to mix rtl and ltr systems, as well as across different scripts. Even so, this seems a fair and usable solution. For example: :* [[:Category:English]] -> [[:Category:En English (English)]] :* [[:Category:Ancient Greek]] -> [[:Category:Grc Ἀρχαία ἑλληνική (Ancient Greek)]] :* [[:Category:Polski]] -> [[:Category:Pl Polski (Polish)]] :* [[:Category:Русский]] -> [[:Category:Ru Русский (Russian)]] :* [[:Category:Mingrelian]] -> [[:Category:Xmf მარგალური (Mingrelian)]] :* [[:Category:سِنڌِي]] -> [[:Category:Sd سِنڌِي (Sindhi)]] :Again, let me know what you think. Obviously changing category names can be a huge pain but I think long-term this is as good a plan as any. :[[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 18:23, 14 April 2026 (UTC) ::{{ping|Mathmitch7}} That's indeed a point in which I stumbled and wanted to act upon. I have no opposition to your change. :) Anything that brings a strand of consistency in this mess is welcome. ::For the record -- and this is not meant to hinder your action, just putting ideas out there, -- I was thinking of making category names something much more mechanical, like <code>Category:Works:ru</code> and <code>Category:Authors:ru</code> (or equivalent, as you initially suggested), and then have a gadget that could come by on the client-side and alter the displayed category name depending on the selected language of the user, e.g. if one selects Spanish, those would appear as "Obras (ruso)" and "Autores (ruso)" respectively. This has the advantage of fully implementing the internationalisation ideals of this project, a Spanish speaker should be ideally be able to have the entire project's structural text (i.e. any text that isn't a work transcription) in Spanish. Furthermore, while "native name (english name)" may look perfectly fine for things like Polish, as soon as you get to extinct langauges, or minority languages without a standard orthography, things get problematic. For example, taking from your list, "Ἀρχαία ἑλληνική", does not really mean "Ancient Greek" as ancient Greeks would call it, but rather it's the modern name in ancient spelling (again, it would still be the best option available, so feel free to go with your change), and when it comes to languages like Sumerian, Ugaritic or Ancient Egyptian, what do we put in the native name? In many cases there will be something, but who would that be useful for, except mummies coming back from the dead? This ultimately boils down to an important division that was not well taken into consideration in the Wikisource movement in general: the distinction between ''content languages'' (the language in which the transcribe works are into) and the ''working languages'' (in which the UI appears, a site operates and a community communicates). This is also why, in my opinion, splitting Wikisources into subdomains was a particularly near-sighted move, why does should reading a Latin text come at the price of having Latin UI? Why should there be an entirely separated set of infrastructure (modules, templates) just on the criterion of the language the transcribed work transcribing is in? The split, driven by technical limitations that we had at the time which can easily be fixed in other ways now (like right-to-left text, which prompted the first subdomain, Hebrew Wikisource, which had this catastrophic domino effect) is showing its failure in almost every aspect, both moral and technical, and those paying the price are the minority languages, whose editors are forced to work in this graveyard of incoherent and unmaintained infrastructure, with the hope of getting their own subdomain, only to be then further alienated from the rest of the community once achieved, helpless to infrastructural bugs and vandalism. ::Enough rambling, back to the issue at hand, the proposed gadget idea. Making one is not something impossible, as we have something similar in English Wiktionary, [[wikt:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-categoryTreeLanguageNames.js]], by the excellent coder @[[User:Surjection|Surjection]], where for example if you are on [[:wikt:en:Category:Cats]], the subcategory <code>Category:ru:Cats</code> will display as "Category:ru:Cats <small>[Russian]</small>". A while ago, I tried implementing a similar thing here, but I remember running in a number of technical difficulties. A difference in implementation was that on enwikt the scope is much more limited -- the only needed display language is English, -- and since that project employs some non-ISO language codes, the most sensible idea was to have a project-specific JSON to house all the code-to-language correspondences, [[wikt:en:Module:languages/code to canonical name.json]], meanwhile here we need to have the name for every language in every language, with all the fallback rules, which is why we are better off relying on the central Wikimedia database that contains all of that. I cannot remember what ultimately stopped me from finishing this gadget, I think the implementation was getting too hacky. ::'''TLDR''': There are some ultimate issues that you will encounter trying to implement this for every language, but anything would be better than what we have now, so feel free to do it. :) [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 13:44, 15 April 2026 (UTC) :::All these points are well-met (Maybe someday we can re-unite the wikisources :') ).

Greetings, pleasure to meet you and sorry to disturb. Apologies for writing in English. You appear to be the most active on Multilingual Wikisource of the latest days. I'm sorry for whoever interested I did not alert, I did not want to send out too many unwanted pings. In short, I have written a gadget that can render [[w:Text Encoding Initiative|TEI XML]]-format texts as HTML. (You can turn it on in your preferences and check how it handles [[TEI:Fare i ri ëvetar shqip]]. A brief explanation is at [[Wikisource:TEI Gadget]].) It is a format used for a more scholarly kind of transcription, mainly used for palaeography, manuscripts or thorough critical digital editions. This is not meant as a replacement of the current situation but a way to better digitalise the cases which are not well-handled by Wikitext. For technical reasons, mostly about security, the solution requires a new namespace (i.e. the thing that comes the colon in a page title, like <code>Page:</code> or <code>Talk:</code>), so I have to file a technical request for the namespace <code>TEI:</code>. As regrettably scatterful as this project is, I assume that such a change would not be carried through without an attempt at a discussion with other editors. For this reason, I ask here whether any of you would oppose such a change. Thank you for your love of writing, and the work you do to record it. :) [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 16:23, 13 March 2026 (UTC) {{en|Personally I'm fine with having a TEI: namespace or something similar. Support for this kind of document format would be very helpful and putting TEI documents into their own namespace seems like a good way to integrate it with our existing workflow, using a TEI: page as a source and then transcluding it to a normal "work" namespace using a template/Lua module. : However, I would like to see us think about how we could use TEI or TEI markup alongside the existing Page transcription and transclusion workflow. I think one of the best things about Wikisource is that pages in the mainspace are generally linked back to their source scan in an easily verifiable, traceable, and auditable way. Although TEI is great for transcriptions, I don’t yet see an analogue for that particular type of "backing" to a scan. The example document you link has source information, but some work would need to be done to get to something as granular as what we already have for scan verification and to support proofreading efforts. : That all being said, if the gadget works and TEI-XML is as robust as it appears to be, I’m fine with doing what must be done to implement support for it. If that includes a special namespace, at least here on multilingual ws, I '''support'''. Cheers! -- [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 19:45, 13 March 2026 (UTC)}} ::Hello, thanks for your thoughts and your support! :) I agree that scan-backed transcription is the strongest point of boast for Wikisource. The thing is that the transformers are very versatile, which isn't well visible by the example I gave, which only shows two almost-identical transformer schemes, with the only difference being script (if it can help get the idea, the green-boxed header is also generated by a transformer of the same structure.) With this in mind, my thought was to have "Original scan" as one of the selectable transformers (i.e. a column), which is fairly easily doable, just requires for the transformer to ignore all tags, except for <code><pb/></code> ("page break"), which would show the images. ::I was going to implement this, I didn't because there is an unrelated [[phab:T418178|ongoing bug]] which makes the pages of DJVU files not display. See for example [[Page:Veqilharxhi - Ëvetar (1845).djvu/1]] (the same work already in wikitext). The page image used to work a while ago. So for now it would have looked like a bunch of error messages in mainspace. But it's definitely doable once the bug is fixed. :) ::This to me is also a way to make the scans more immediately accessible to the reader. I find them to be very valuable, especially in cases of manuscripts and other kind of texts in which TEI in particular shines, and having scans into a separate namespace always felt a bit like hiding them to me. The idea of having them user-toggleable seemed quite neat. ::Admittedly, it is true that it will never be as easy. TEI is inevitable much more cumbersome, difficult to learn and master, and in many cases harder to read from the source. The main workspace of editors using will most likely never be the Wikisource editor box, but rather VS Code with the "Scholarly XML" extension (AFAIK, most accessible widely used TEI environment), or similar software. For these reason, I emphasise that that TEI is meant for those who particularly have a lot of time and dedication at their disposal, and are willing to go through the hardships that are required to get something of academic quality. The vast majority of texts will be kept in wikitext. [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 20:32, 13 March 2026 (UTC) :What are the security concerns of having such a namespace enabled and how would you deal with them?

Since my post here I have come to a solution, which is to handle the TEI-to-HTML transformation within Lua, and let the gadget only handle the columns display. This has a number of disadvantages: JavaScript is much better at handling XML (it was infact built for that purpose), now a separate [[Module:XML|Lua XML parser]] is required and we are likely to hit Lua's memory limit with files too large, while a pure JS implementation was much easier to maintain and had no limitations. However we cannot let just any editor write JavaScript that runs on other people's browsers, as the event you mention exemplifies, so the script pages would have needed to be protected under some specific right. But being able to edit and write these scripts is such a central thing for my intended versatile implementation of TEI that I would rather hit the memory limit rather than only allowing very few people to benefit from the infrastructure. As such, the security justification should be gone once I fully implement the Lua solution, and the namespace will be requested only for conceptual reasons. [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 20:24, 12 April 2026 (UTC) :::@[[User:Catonif|Catonif]] maybe it would be better in the long run to build a TEI MediaWiki extension.

[[User:Ignacio Rodríguez|Ignacio Rodríguez]] ([[User talk:Ignacio Rodríguez|talk]]) 22:44, 12 April 2026 (UTC) ::::{{ping|Ignacio Rodríguez}} Absolutely agreed. There exist, in fact, [[mw:Extension:TEI]] and [[mw:Extension:CETEIcean]], which I tried testing around, on my own installing of MediaWiki. These are not very well documented projects and it was quite difficult to untangle something out of the code, but to me these seem overly complicated systems with a much more limited outcome, lacking the versatility that TEI was built with in mind, hence not very fit for a project like Wikisource. Furthermore, Extension:TEI, from a quick glance, does not appear to be fully TEI-compliant, allowing for questionable tag names (see [https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-TEI/blob/master/includes/Converter/TeiToHtmlConversion.php here]), as <code><hi-rend-big></code> instead of <code><hi rend="big"></code>, while CETEIcean is not HTML-compliant, as you can see from your inspector on [https://codecs.vanhamel.nl/Cetei:AU-test this example], with tag names like <code><tei-p></code> in the HTML fed straight to the browser. I had even tried making my own extension, only to realise that it is much beyond my capabilities, and eventually settled for an awkward Lua implementation. Then I got the idea of a much cleaner JavaScript system, only to come back to Lua in the end for the reasons described. My hope is that my implementation is merely a proof of concept for someone more knowledgeable to notice and make better.

'''Updates for editors''' * There is a change in how new users are autoconfirmed that will improve anti-vandalism protection. Currently, users who have had an account for a few days and made a few edits are automatically added to the [[{{int:grouppage-autoconfirmed/{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}}}|{{int:group-autoconfirmed}}]] group. This configuration tends to be exploited by some vandals, who create accounts and start to use them only after some time. To mitigate this, the configuration will be updated next week so that – for the purpose of becoming autoconfirmed – the account age will be counted from their first edit, instead of registration date. The numeric value of the age threshold will remain the same. This change will be deployed only to wikis which require at least one edit as part of the autoconfirmation conditions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418484] * All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the "automatically enable most beta features" option in their preference can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|reading lists]] beta feature to save articles for later reading.

The change will only affect logged-out users on mobile web who open an editing session. The updated experience is designed to encourage account creation more clearly, while still allowing users to edit with temporary accounts. Results from the experiment showed a significant increase in account creation, with a 27% relative lift among users shown the updated message. As expected, as more people funnel into account creation, temporary accounts decreased by a relative 16%. The experiment did not show any significant changes in constructive edit rates or other monitored contributor metrics.

Users will still be able to add new authentication methods or remove them, as long as at least one method is continuously enabled. In the next few weeks, users without 2FA will be removed from these groups. Notably, this applies to bureaucrats. See the linked tasks for deployment schedules.

The experiment tested this experience on mobile web across six Wikipedias. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex/Design/Icons|user interface icon library]] will be [[phab:T399175|updated later this week or next week]]. Most of the ~300 icons have been slightly refined and ~30 new icons have been added. These changes improve the icons to make them more consistent and comprehensible, and provide more visual balance when they are used in groups. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector|Universal Language Selector]] (ULS) interface in MediaWiki, which helps users select content in other languages, has been updated. The new version improves speed and accessibility, and users of Wikimedia projects can now pin languages for quicker language switching. The deployment to Wikimedia sites will happen gradually in the coming weeks. You can test it now as a beta feature by selecting [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta features]] in your profile preferences and share your feedback on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector/New ULS|the project page]]. * [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:21}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:21|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

Developers can now pass a configuration object instead of a list of positional parameters when creating portlet links. The previous function signature remains supported for backwards compatibility. For example, instead of: <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', '#', 'Stub', 'ca-stubtag', 'Add a stub tag to this page');</nowiki></code></bdi> use <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', { href: '#', text: 'Stub', id: 'ca-stubtag', tooltip: 'Add a stub tag to this page' });</nowiki></code></bdi>. Script maintainers are encouraged to review existing uses of <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>addPortletLink()</nowiki></code></bdi> and update them where appropriate.

The feature shows an image carousel at the top of articles with 3 or more images. Editors can configure this feature with the following controls: to hide a specific image from a page, either use <code>class=notpageimage</code> excluding it from thumbnail previews, or <code>class=noviewer</code> excluding it from MediaViewer. The carousel can also be disabled from a page entirely, with the magic word <code><nowiki>__NOMEDIAVIEWERCAROUSEL__</nowiki></code>.

Notable additions include [[:Category:Authors by language]], [[:Category:Authors by profession]]. I also updated [[WS:LANG]] to include a column for language-specific Author categories, which are also (generally) collected in [[:Category:Authors by language]]. There is presently no consistent organization for the language author categories, which I think is fine, but I'd be interested in making some kind of consistency which we can use going forward. : My thinking is that we could create categories like [[:Category:eng authors]] or [[:Category:zho authors]] for all of the languages represented here on multi-language wikisource with ISO-639 codes. Then, either redirect those pages to their respective language-specific Author categories (when they exist); or use them as their own category which would then be categorized into both the language's category and [[:Category:Authors by language]]. For example, [[:Category:lv authors]] would redirect to the Latvian-language [[:Category:Autori]], while [[:Category:tpn authors]] would serve as the equivalent Tupi-language category. This would help provide some useful infrastructure to support new languages works and authors in the future. : Thoughts? I'm open to suggestions. Don't want to be overly English-oriented, or create too much administrative burden for new users and language content. -- [[User:Mathmitch7|Mathmitch7]] ([[User talk:Mathmitch7|talk]]) 18:26, 3 March 2026 (UTC)}} :{{en|An additional thought: I think it would be helpful if we created category pages for each ISO 639-1 code, possibly -2 or -3 as well for at least the languages included on multilingual wikisource and on their own subdomains. These would generally redirect to the language categories. For example, [[:Category:en]] would redirect to [[:Category:English]], [[:Category:lv]] would redirect to [[:Category:Ladin]], [[:Category:Ru]] would redirect to [[:Category:Русский]]. This would just be helpful for quickly categorizing works without having to find the specific "correct" category. Again, let me know what you think.

I would propose that we move all language categories (ie in [[:Category:Languages]]) to this scheme. Recognizing of course that it can be tricky to mix rtl and ltr systems, as well as across different scripts. Even so, this seems a fair and usable solution. For example: :* [[:Category:English]] -> [[:Category:En English (English)]] :* [[:Category:Ancient Greek]] -> [[:Category:Grc Ἀρχαία ἑλληνική (Ancient Greek)]] :* [[:Category:Polski]] -> [[:Category:Pl Polski (Polish)]] :* [[:Category:Русский]] -> [[:Category:Ru Русский (Russian)]] :* [[:Category:Mingrelian]] -> [[:Category:Xmf მარგალური (Mingrelian)]] :* [[:Category:سِنڌِي]] -> [[:Category:Sd سِنڌِي (Sindhi)]] :Again, let me know what you think.

I have no opposition to your change. :) Anything that brings a strand of consistency in this mess is welcome. ::For the record -- and this is not meant to hinder your action, just putting ideas out there, -- I was thinking of making category names something much more mechanical, like <code>Category:Works:ru</code> and <code>Category:Authors:ru</code> (or equivalent, as you initially suggested), and then have a gadget that could come by on the client-side and alter the displayed category name depending on the selected language of the user, e.g. if one selects Spanish, those would appear as "Obras (ruso)" and "Autores (ruso)" respectively. This has the advantage of fully implementing the internationalisation ideals of this project, a Spanish speaker should be ideally be able to have the entire project's structural text (i.e. any text that isn't a work transcription) in Spanish. Furthermore, while "native name (english name)" may look perfectly fine for things like Polish, as soon as you get to extinct langauges, or minority languages without a standard orthography, things get problematic. For example, taking from your list, "Ἀρχαία ἑλληνική", does not really mean "Ancient Greek" as ancient Greeks would call it, but rather it's the modern name in ancient spelling (again, it would still be the best option available, so feel free to go with your change), and when it comes to languages like Sumerian, Ugaritic or Ancient Egyptian, what do we put in the native name? In many cases there will be something, but who would that be useful for, except mummies coming back from the dead? This ultimately boils down to an important division that was not well taken into consideration in the Wikisource movement in general: the distinction between ''content languages'' (the language in which the transcribe works are into) and the ''working languages'' (in which the UI appears, a site operates and a community communicates). This is also why, in my opinion, splitting Wikisources into subdomains was a particularly near-sighted move, why does should reading a Latin text come at the price of having Latin UI? Why should there be an entirely separated set of infrastructure (modules, templates) just on the criterion of the language the transcribed work transcribing is in? The split, driven by technical limitations that we had at the time which can easily be fixed in other ways now (like right-to-left text, which prompted the first subdomain, Hebrew Wikisource, which had this catastrophic domino effect) is showing its failure in almost every aspect, both moral and technical, and those paying the price are the minority languages, whose editors are forced to work in this graveyard of incoherent and unmaintained infrastructure, with the hope of getting their own subdomain, only to be then further alienated from the rest of the community once achieved, helpless to infrastructural bugs and vandalism. ::Enough rambling, back to the issue at hand, the proposed gadget idea. Making one is not something impossible, as we have something similar in English Wiktionary, [[wikt:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-categoryTreeLanguageNames.js]], by the excellent coder @[[User:Surjection|Surjection]], where for example if you are on [[:wikt:en:Category:Cats]], the subcategory <code>Category:ru:Cats</code> will display as "Category:ru:Cats <small>[Russian]</small>". A while ago, I tried implementing a similar thing here, but I remember running in a number of technical difficulties. A difference in implementation was that on enwikt the scope is much more limited -- the only needed display language is English, -- and since that project employs some non-ISO language codes, the most sensible idea was to have a project-specific JSON to house all the code-to-language correspondences, [[wikt:en:Module:languages/code to canonical name.json]], meanwhile here we need to have the name for every language in every language, with all the fallback rules, which is why we are better off relying on the central Wikimedia database that contains all of that. I cannot remember what ultimately stopped me from finishing this gadget, I think the implementation was getting too hacky. ::'''TLDR''': There are some ultimate issues that you will encounter trying to implement this for every language, but anything would be better than what we have now, so feel free to do it. :) [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 13:44, 15 April 2026 (UTC) :::All these points are well-met (Maybe someday we can re-unite the wikisources :') ).

Greetings, pleasure to meet you and sorry to disturb. Apologies for writing in English. You appear to be the most active on Multilingual Wikisource of the latest days. I'm sorry for whoever interested I did not alert, I did not want to send out too many unwanted pings. In short, I have written a gadget that can render [[w:Text Encoding Initiative|TEI XML]]-format texts as HTML. (You can turn it on in your preferences and check how it handles [[TEI:Fare i ri ëvetar shqip]]. A brief explanation is at [[Wikisource:TEI Gadget]].) It is a format used for a more scholarly kind of transcription, mainly used for palaeography, manuscripts or thorough critical digital editions. This is not meant as a replacement of the current situation but a way to better digitalise the cases which are not well-handled by Wikitext. For technical reasons, mostly about security, the solution requires a new namespace (i.e. the thing that comes the colon in a page title, like <code>Page:</code> or <code>Talk:</code>), so I have to file a technical request for the namespace <code>TEI:</code>. As regrettably scatterful as this project is, I assume that such a change would not be carried through without an attempt at a discussion with other editors. For this reason, I ask here whether any of you would oppose such a change. Thank you for your love of writing, and the work you do to record it. :) [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 16:23, 13 March 2026 (UTC) {{en|Personally I'm fine with having a TEI: namespace or something similar. Support for this kind of document format would be very helpful and putting TEI documents into their own namespace seems like a good way to integrate it with our existing workflow, using a TEI: page as a source and then transcluding it to a normal "work" namespace using a template/Lua module. : However, I would like to see us think about how we could use TEI or TEI markup alongside the existing Page transcription and transclusion workflow. I think one of the best things about Wikisource is that pages in the mainspace are generally linked back to their source scan in an easily verifiable, traceable, and auditable way. Although TEI is great for transcriptions, I don’t yet see an analogue for that particular type of "backing" to a scan. The example document you link has source information, but some work would need to be done to get to something as granular as what we already have for scan verification and to support proofreading efforts. : That all being said, if the gadget works and TEI-XML is as robust as it appears to be, I’m fine with doing what must be done to implement support for it. If that includes a special namespace, at least here on multilingual ws, I '''support'''.

The thing is that the transformers are very versatile, which isn't well visible by the example I gave, which only shows two almost-identical transformer schemes, with the only difference being script (if it can help get the idea, the green-boxed header is also generated by a transformer of the same structure.) With this in mind, my thought was to have "Original scan" as one of the selectable transformers (i.e. a column), which is fairly easily doable, just requires for the transformer to ignore all tags, except for <code><pb/></code> ("page break"), which would show the images. ::I was going to implement this, I didn't because there is an unrelated [[phab:T418178|ongoing bug]] which makes the pages of DJVU files not display. See for example [[Page:Veqilharxhi - Ëvetar (1845).djvu/1]] (the same work already in wikitext). The page image used to work a while ago. So for now it would have looked like a bunch of error messages in mainspace. But it's definitely doable once the bug is fixed. :) ::This to me is also a way to make the scans more immediately accessible to the reader. I find them to be very valuable, especially in cases of manuscripts and other kind of texts in which TEI in particular shines, and having scans into a separate namespace always felt a bit like hiding them to me. The idea of having them user-toggleable seemed quite neat. ::Admittedly, it is true that it will never be as easy. TEI is inevitable much more cumbersome, difficult to learn and master, and in many cases harder to read from the source. The main workspace of editors using will most likely never be the Wikisource editor box, but rather VS Code with the "Scholarly XML" extension (AFAIK, most accessible widely used TEI environment), or similar software. For these reason, I emphasise that that TEI is meant for those who particularly have a lot of time and dedication at their disposal, and are willing to go through the hardships that are required to get something of academic quality. The vast majority of texts will be kept in wikitext.

PS: (I am well in favor of offering the wide community a sufficiently good for them standard for transcribing. Also I guess there is plenty of text already transcribed this way we could incorporate.) [[User:Ignacio Rodríguez|Ignacio Rodríguez]] ([[User talk:Ignacio Rodríguez|talk]]) 11:36, 1 April 2026 (UTC) ::{{ping|Ignacio Rodríguez}} Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see your message, and thank you for your support. Since my post here I have come to a solution, which is to handle the TEI-to-HTML transformation within Lua, and let the gadget only handle the columns display. This has a number of disadvantages: JavaScript is much better at handling XML (it was infact built for that purpose), now a separate [[Module:XML|Lua XML parser]] is required and we are likely to hit Lua's memory limit with files too large, while a pure JS implementation was much easier to maintain and had no limitations. However we cannot let just any editor write JavaScript that runs on other people's browsers, as the event you mention exemplifies, so the script pages would have needed to be protected under some specific right. But being able to edit and write these scripts is such a central thing for my intended versatile implementation of TEI that I would rather hit the memory limit rather than only allowing very few people to benefit from the infrastructure. As such, the security justification should be gone once I fully implement the Lua solution, and the namespace will be requested only for conceptual reasons. [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 20:24, 12 April 2026 (UTC) :::@[[User:Catonif|Catonif]] maybe it would be better in the long run to build a TEI MediaWiki extension. The gadget is fine by now, but memory limits are concerning. I am no coder but I can cheer you up. For the record I support the creation of the TEI Namespace. [[User:Ignacio Rodríguez|Ignacio Rodríguez]] ([[User talk:Ignacio Rodríguez|talk]]) 22:44, 12 April 2026 (UTC) ::::{{ping|Ignacio Rodríguez}} Absolutely agreed. There exist, in fact, [[mw:Extension:TEI]] and [[mw:Extension:CETEIcean]], which I tried testing around, on my own installing of MediaWiki. These are not very well documented projects and it was quite difficult to untangle something out of the code, but to me these seem overly complicated systems with a much more limited outcome, lacking the versatility that TEI was built with in mind, hence not very fit for a project like Wikisource. Furthermore, Extension:TEI, from a quick glance, does not appear to be fully TEI-compliant, allowing for questionable tag names (see [https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-TEI/blob/master/includes/Converter/TeiToHtmlConversion.php here]), as <code><hi-rend-big></code> instead of <code><hi rend="big"></code>, while CETEIcean is not HTML-compliant, as you can see from your inspector on [https://codecs.vanhamel.nl/Cetei:AU-test this example], with tag names like <code><tei-p></code> in the HTML fed straight to the browser. I had even tried making my own extension, only to realise that it is much beyond my capabilities, and eventually settled for an awkward Lua implementation. Then I got the idea of a much cleaner JavaScript system, only to come back to Lua in the end for the reasons described. My hope is that my implementation is merely a proof of concept for someone more knowledgeable to notice and make better.

This feature is now in beta on Arabic, French, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Chinese Wikipedias and by default for all new accounts on all Wikipedias. * An experiment which explores extending [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews|Page Previews to mobile web]] will be launched in the week of April 20 on Arabic, English, French, Italian, Polish, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. Page Previews are pop-ups that display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and a link to open the full article of a blue link, thereby improving content discovery. The feature is already available on desktop and in the apps.

These limits are intentionally set as high as possible to minimise impact on the community. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices.

'''Updates for editors''' * There is a change in how new users are autoconfirmed that will improve anti-vandalism protection. Currently, users who have had an account for a few days and made a few edits are automatically added to the [[{{int:grouppage-autoconfirmed/{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}}}|{{int:group-autoconfirmed}}]] group. This configuration tends to be exploited by some vandals, who create accounts and start to use them only after some time. To mitigate this, the configuration will be updated next week so that – for the purpose of becoming autoconfirmed – the account age will be counted from their first edit, instead of registration date. The numeric value of the age threshold will remain the same. This change will be deployed only to wikis which require at least one edit as part of the autoconfirmation conditions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418484] * All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the "automatically enable most beta features" option in their preference can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|reading lists]] beta feature to save articles for later reading.

As a result, existing preferences will be mapped to the nearest new size (for example, smaller selections like 120px or 150px will render at 180px, while larger ones like 300px or 360px will render at 400px). The preferences interface will soon be updated to reflect these changes, and users who wish to opt out or provide feedback can do so. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T424909] * From now on, even when a permission expires automatically, users will receive an Echo notification similar to the standard notification for permission changes.

'''Updates for editors''' * As part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments|Account Creation Experiments]], the Growth team tested adding a user account icon in the mobile web header for logged-out users, providing direct access to "Create account" and "Log in" actions. The experiment increased account creation by about 20% without negatively affecting edit quality or constructive edit rates. The feature will now be rolled out to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on mobile web in the first week of July.

Previously, using <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>-prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> with negation could unintentionally broaden search results by adding the namespaces included in the search scope, leading to confusing behavior for users expecting a straightforward exclusion filter. With the update, <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>-prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> will now strictly exclude matching page titles as intended and may display a warning if the relevant namespace has not been explicitly selected. The behavior of <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> without negation however remains unchanged.
