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)]].

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.

[[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.

We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''. '''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. Thank you for your help!

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%. The experiment did not show any significant changes in constructive edit rates or other monitored contributor metrics.

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>.

I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier. If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry!

Before then, volunteer translator help is needed for [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=ext-readinglists&filter=&action=translate string translations] into a number of languages. The feature supports reading and learning goals on Wikipedia. * Next week, the table of contents on Wikimedia Commons file pages will be improved by consolidating the file page table of contents with the page table of contents. This will make it easier to understand a file page’s structure, navigate to specific sections, and share links to individual sections.

'''Updates for editors''' * [[Special:ShortPages]] displays short pages by their size, but in many cases it gets filled with disambiguations and soft redirects, making it harder to find the short articles themselves.

The panel showing project statistics no longer appears next to the form on desktop and mobile web. Multiple account creation experiments show that a simpler form helps newcomers complete registration. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T433783] * In order to improve page performance, images now load when they are viewed.

Now, it's possible to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CheckUser#User_Info_card_in_page_content|place it in the page content]] as well, using the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>{{#uic:}}</nowiki></code></bdi> parser function. It can be particularly useful in templates like [[:en:Template:Userlinks|<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>{{Userlinks}}</nowiki></code></bdi>]] (or their specialized variants), as it will make it easier to see the context about a user on various noticeboard pages.

'''Updates for editors''' * The latest release of the Wikipedia Android app includes updates to the Saved feature, bringing the app’s saving experience closer to iOS and Web. The update redesigns the Saved tab with an “All articles” view, removes the default “Saved” reading list, renames reading lists to “Collections,” and modernizes the article-saving experience. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T420788] * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists]] feature was enabled for all logged-in users on Bengali, Chinese, Czech and Vietnamese Wikipedias on August 25, after several months as a beta feature. Reading Lists will be available to all logged-in users on Arabic, French and Indonesian Wikipedias on September 1, followed by English Wikipedia on September 14, and all other Wikipedia wikis on September 28. * At the end of the month, some logged-out readers on Bengali, Czech, Persian, English, and Polish Wikipedias using the Minerva skin on mobile will see an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Growth/Minimal_Minerva|updated navigation bar]] in an [[w:A/B test|A/B test]]. The test will compare the current navigation bar with a new version designed to make it easier to find information more quickly. The goal is to determine whether these changes encourage readers to return more often. This experiment will not change the experience for logged-in readers and/or editors. * Editors who maintain redirects, templates, and categories used on redirect pages now have improved ways for finding and curating redirects. Previously, redirects pages could not be searched. Two new search keywords, <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>onlyredirects:</nowiki></code></bdi> and <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>withredirects:</nowiki></code></bdi>, now allow redirects to be searched directly and can be combined with existing keywords such as <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>incategory:</nowiki></code></bdi>, <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>intitle:</nowiki></code></bdi>, and <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>insource:</nowiki></code></bdi>.

As you may know, the [[m:Community_Wishlist|Community Wishlist]] started out as an annual process through which Wikimedia contributors submit and vote on technical improvements they would like the Wikimedia Foundation to work on. The main goal of it is and has been to improve the editing experience by making changes and features the community asks for specifically. In recent years, the process behind the wishlist has changed, and we’ve heard from many of you that it no longer meets many community members’ needs. So now, the Foundation is designing a new process with the community to improve how wishes are triaged, voted on, and prioritized in a way that is transparent, balanced across project families and language editions, and takes into account what the Foundation can deliver. I would like to get community input specifically on these three stages of the Wishlist process: * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#triage|'''triage stage''']], meaning how wishes are fleshed out, organized and filtered prior to voting ** We recommend to have a working group, including volunteers from various wikis and Wikimedia Foundation staff to work through this together * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#vote|'''voting stage''']], including who may vote and how votes are structured * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#postvote|'''post-vote stage''']], including how to bring equity into what work is prioritized ** One way to do this is to rank wishes within 3 categories: Large Wikipedias or covering all wikis, small and medium-sized Wikipedias, and '''sister projects''', so that top-voted wishes from smaller projects also get attention This message is an abstract of the full proposed process. As you [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027|read the proposed ideas on Meta]] (available in your language), please speak up about whether you think this will work well or if there are ways to make it stronger. Regarding the timeline, this consultation is open for two weeks. You can post your feedback on Meta (in your preferred language) or in response below. For this year’s cycle, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#timeline|we plan]] to have the wish submission period in late October/early November and the triage process completed by late November. To respect the end-of-year holiday season, voting would happen in early to mid January. This first voting cycle is meant as a first step to try out a new process, and there will be more opportunities to provide feedback along the way, so that we can figure out the best process for future years together.

I have spent more than twenty years building software: first in enterprise delivery at Publicis Sapient, then in HR and recruitment technology at CEIPAL and at Oorwin, which I co-founded, and now as co-founder and CEO of LawVyn, a case management platform for Indian advocates and law firms. I also co-founded Signitives, an AI product engineering firm. I trained as an electronics engineer, studied project management at the Indian Institute of Science and IIM Bangalore, and I am doing doctoral research at the Swiss School of Business and Management, Geneva, on how large organisations adopt AI. '''Mentoring and community.''' Outside the companies, I give time to people who are starting out. I have been a startup mentor at T-Hub, Hyderabad since 2023, working with early-stage founders on product, go-to-market, customer acquisition and fundraising and opening doors to investors and customers. Through the International Startup Foundation's Junicorn100K initiative I mentor rural youth across India, helping them turn ideas into working prototypes and connect with global markets, in line with the Bharat 2047 vision. I also mentor at E-Cell IIT Bombay's Eureka! business-model competition, and I speak to students on campuses when invited, including IIM Sambalpur and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Chennai, on the road from engineering to entrepreneurship. I volunteer with The Akshaya Patra Foundation, and the causes I care about are children, education, the environment and access to science and technology. Free access to knowledge is part of the same commitment, and it is what brings me to Wikisource. '''What I can help with.''' * Indian legal documents: I work with advocates every day and know how Indian legislation, judgments and gazette notifications are structured and published. * Proofreading in Telugu and English, and reading Hindi. * Tooling: OCR, text clean-up and scripting for document work. * Structured data: linking works and authors to Wikidata. '''What I plan to work on.''' * Indian legislation, court judgments and official gazette notifications, which Indian copyright law allows to be reproduced freely. * Bilingual Indian government publications (Hindi and English, Telugu and English), which suit Multilingual Wikisource. * Public-domain Telugu works on Telugu Wikisource. '''How I edit.''' Scan-backed, faithful transcription with no modernising of the text; a copyright check before anything is uploaded; small edits first and questions on talk pages before any bulk work. Disclosure: I run a commercial legal software company. I do not use Wikisource to promote it and I keep my contributions to public-domain material. Messages are welcome on my talk page. </div> :[[User:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|Ravi Kumar Daparthi]] ([[User talk:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|talk]]) 11:17, 29 September 2026 (UTC) ::Thanks for asking. I personally have no objection to linking to your own webpage and that's a common thing to happen on a user page: if you want to direct someone to a different part of the Web to learn more about you, I think that's fine. As for when you can add links, I can never remember the specifics, but it's after <var>x</var> days and <var>y</var> edits. The exact numbers are small and they vary from wiki to wiki, so that's why it's difficult for me to remember on any given one. I recommend that you just make constructive edits for a bit and then you'll notice that the change will happen spontaneously. As for your second question, I am not terribly familiar with Indian government documents, so nothing immediately comes to mind. You could try asking editors are more active sites that have material in Indian languages, e.g. at [[:hi:]] or <em>maybe</em> even those who participated in [[:m:Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon 2020]]?

'''Updates for editors''' * Editors using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor|visual editor]] will now see a warning when they paste text that is likely to have initially been copied from one of five external generative AI chatbots into Wikipedia. This feature is known as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check|LLM Paste Check]]. It is a type of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check|Edit Check]] that is community configurable. The check looks for markers in the copied HTML and is not using content watermark detection. Edits will also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check#Edit tags|be tagged]] so that patrollers can review them more closely. The feature helps newcomers add content that respects Wikipedia’s policies and makes it easier for experienced editors to identify problematic edits. Communities with local policies about LLM usage can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check#Configuration|adjust the wording and policy that is linked]]. The team [[listarchive:list/translators-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/EVHKWJ4IERZELMPIWNH3XUVUSQV5KOO4/|apologizes]] that this was rolled out without a delay for translations. * Editors can now easily [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Future of Editing on the Mobile Apps|access the web visual editor directly from the iOS and Android apps]]. When opening the editor, users will be given a choice between visual editing and source editing. If they choose visual editing, they will be sent to a mobile web window in their phone's browser. After completing their edit, a banner will give them the option to return to the app. This enables readers to make quick contributions while casually reading. * Users of the Wikipedia Android and iOS apps will now see a one-time account creation prompt after they have used the app for two consecutive weeks. This prompt explains the benefits of having an account. It is intended to help more casual readers become logged-in users who return to the apps regularly. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T434847] * Editors on [[wmnoc:conf/dblists/group1.dblist|group1 wikis]], including Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, and Wikisource, will no longer see notifications on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Recent changes|Recent Changes]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help: Watching pages|Watchlist]] when a link to another language version of a page is added, removed, or changed in its Wikidata item.

They encourage other affiliates to reuse it and adapt it. Read more in the [[wmfblog:2026/09/26/wikimedia-brasils-development-best-practices-framework-technical-sustainability-as-an-organizational-responsibility|Diff post]]. * A new, canonical base URL for Wikimedia APIs will soon be introduced. The new canonical route follows a <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>{projectName}/api/</nowiki></code></bdi> pattern and will act as an alternative path for current REST APIs (for example: <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>{projectName}/w/rest.php/</nowiki></code></bdi>). Both versions will be callable for all existing APIs, but the new structure will be the preferred path for newly created API modules. This change will be non-breaking for most users. The existing pathways will remain available for all existing endpoint requests. However, some endpoints may return URLs following the new pattern in response bodies. Changes will be available on test wiki first, with the rollout expected to cover all wikis by the end of October.

Previously, there were two versions of how the Watchlist is shown to mobile web users: the list view, where editors could see watched articles in a list format, and the changelog view, where editors could see changes to watched articles in a log format, controlled by a user's Advanced Mobile Control settings. This has created issues for code-base maintenance: two different displays means two sets of code to manage. By defaulting to the changelog view, we are simplifying the codebase and avoiding the likelihood of missing bugs. * The Wikipedia Android app is testing a way to listen to article introductions in the “For you” feed. A text-to-speech model reads the existing article text aloud without rewriting it or adding any content. The 30-day experiment will begin in the Wikipedia Beta app during the third week of September, then move to the regular Wikipedia Android app in October for a limited group of eligible users. A small portion of app users (those with English feeds and at least one topic interest) will have access to the feature.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

'''The Change:'''<br /> Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]]. We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''. '''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.

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.

Community members are invited to provide feedback on the recommendation until May 8th [[:m:Talk:Product and Technology Advisory Council/May 2026 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|on the talk page]]. * The number of available thumbnail size preferences in MediaWiki is being reduced to three standardized options—Small (180px), Regular (250px), and Large (400px), as part of ongoing efforts to improve performance and reduce strain on thumbnail services. 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.

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 browser console shows: Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource (frame-ancestors) at <unknown> because it violates the following directive: “frame-ancestors 'self' https://*.wikipedia.org https://*.wikimedia.org https://*.wikibooks.org https://*.wikinews.org https://*.wikiquote.org https://*.wikisource.org https://*.wikiversity.org https://*.wikivoyage.org https://*.wikidata.org https://*.wikimediafoundation.org https://*.wikiworkshop.org https://*.wikifunctions.org https://*.wiktionary.org https://*.mediawiki.org https://*.wmfusercontent.org https://*.w.wiki” When I use Cloudflare WARP to bypass the hCaptcha issue, my IP is blocked. I am stuck between both issues and cannot publish anything at all. I am a student trying to complete a task assigned by my instructor. Thank you.

'''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. This change will be available on all wikis from 11 June. Thanks to community volunteer Gerges for contributing this improvement.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth|Reader Growth team]] has launched an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Image Browsing|Image Browsing]] beta feature on the mobile web version of all Wikipedias. 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>.

This addition to a Wikitable gives it more control and flexibility, while the default behavior for subsequent clicks remains unchanged. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T398416] '''Updates for editors''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Article guidance|Article guidance]] feature is currently being tested with some editors creating new articles on the Simple English, French, and Turkish Wikipedias. The experiment will soon begin on the Arabic and Bangla Wikipedias as well. [[w:simple:Special:NewArticle|This feature]] gives editors community-curated guidance to help them create articles that follow community standards. Experienced editors can continue creating or adapting outlines for specific article types that are commonly created by less experienced contributors.

I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier. If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation. There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki. To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]]. <section end="announcement-content" /> [[mw:User:MSantos (WMF)|Content Transform Team]] 16:31, 3 August 2026 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:MSantos (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Distribution_list/Global_message_delivery/Wikisource&oldid=28221043 --> == Tech News: 2026-32 == <section begin="technews-2026-W32"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

The test will compare the current navigation bar with a new version designed to make it easier to find information more quickly. The goal is to determine whether these changes encourage readers to return more often. This experiment will not change the experience for logged-in readers and/or editors. * Editors who maintain redirects, templates, and categories used on redirect pages now have improved ways for finding and curating redirects. Previously, redirects pages could not be searched.

As you may know, the [[m:Community_Wishlist|Community Wishlist]] started out as an annual process through which Wikimedia contributors submit and vote on technical improvements they would like the Wikimedia Foundation to work on. The main goal of it is and has been to improve the editing experience by making changes and features the community asks for specifically. In recent years, the process behind the wishlist has changed, and we’ve heard from many of you that it no longer meets many community members’ needs. So now, the Foundation is designing a new process with the community to improve how wishes are triaged, voted on, and prioritized in a way that is transparent, balanced across project families and language editions, and takes into account what the Foundation can deliver. I would like to get community input specifically on these three stages of the Wishlist process: * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#triage|'''triage stage''']], meaning how wishes are fleshed out, organized and filtered prior to voting ** We recommend to have a working group, including volunteers from various wikis and Wikimedia Foundation staff to work through this together * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#vote|'''voting stage''']], including who may vote and how votes are structured * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#postvote|'''post-vote stage''']], including how to bring equity into what work is prioritized ** One way to do this is to rank wishes within 3 categories: Large Wikipedias or covering all wikis, small and medium-sized Wikipedias, and '''sister projects''', so that top-voted wishes from smaller projects also get attention This message is an abstract of the full proposed process. As you [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027|read the proposed ideas on Meta]] (available in your language), please speak up about whether you think this will work well or if there are ways to make it stronger. Regarding the timeline, this consultation is open for two weeks. You can post your feedback on Meta (in your preferred language) or in response below. For this year’s cycle, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#timeline|we plan]] to have the wish submission period in late October/early November and the triage process completed by late November.

Could an administrator tell me what the filter objects to, or add the text on my behalf? I am also happy to contribute to Wikisource. Thank you.

I have rewritten [[User:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|my user page]] as a contributor introduction: who I am in a few lines, the languages I work in, what I can help with here (Indian legal texts, Telugu and English proofreading, some tooling), the public-domain material I plan to work on, how I approach editing, and a disclosure that I work in commercial legal software. There are no awards, no media coverage and no external links; the only cross-references are to my Wikidata account and item. The text is copied below so it can be checked in one place. Two questions: once the account has some history, would a single link to my personal website be acceptable on the page, and is there a good starting point you would suggest for Indian legal or bilingual government texts on this site? I will start with proofreading in the meantime. <div style="margin-left:2em; border:1px solid #a2a9b1; background:#f8f9fa; padding:0.5em 1em;"> '''Ravi Kumar Daparthi''' (also written Ravi Daparthi) is a technology entrepreneur based in Hyderabad, India. I edit Wikidata as Daparthiravi; my Wikidata item is Q141517141. (Babel: English 4, Telugu native, Hindi 2.) '''Background.''' I have spent more than twenty years building software: first in enterprise delivery at Publicis Sapient, then in HR and recruitment technology at CEIPAL and at Oorwin, which I co-founded, and now as co-founder and CEO of LawVyn, a case management platform for Indian advocates and law firms. I also co-founded Signitives, an AI product engineering firm. I trained as an electronics engineer, studied project management at the Indian Institute of Science and IIM Bangalore, and I am doing doctoral research at the Swiss School of Business and Management, Geneva, on how large organisations adopt AI. '''Mentoring and community.''' Outside the companies, I give time to people who are starting out. I have been a startup mentor at T-Hub, Hyderabad since 2023, working with early-stage founders on product, go-to-market, customer acquisition and fundraising and opening doors to investors and customers. Through the International Startup Foundation's Junicorn100K initiative I mentor rural youth across India, helping them turn ideas into working prototypes and connect with global markets, in line with the Bharat 2047 vision. I also mentor at E-Cell IIT Bombay's Eureka! business-model competition, and I speak to students on campuses when invited, including IIM Sambalpur and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Chennai, on the road from engineering to entrepreneurship. I volunteer with The Akshaya Patra Foundation, and the causes I care about are children, education, the environment and access to science and technology. Free access to knowledge is part of the same commitment, and it is what brings me to Wikisource. '''What I can help with.''' * Indian legal documents: I work with advocates every day and know how Indian legislation, judgments and gazette notifications are structured and published. * Proofreading in Telugu and English, and reading Hindi. * Tooling: OCR, text clean-up and scripting for document work. * Structured data: linking works and authors to Wikidata. '''What I plan to work on.''' * Indian legislation, court judgments and official gazette notifications, which Indian copyright law allows to be reproduced freely. * Bilingual Indian government publications (Hindi and English, Telugu and English), which suit Multilingual Wikisource. * Public-domain Telugu works on Telugu Wikisource. '''How I edit.''' Scan-backed, faithful transcription with no modernising of the text; a copyright check before anything is uploaded; small edits first and questions on talk pages before any bulk work. Disclosure: I run a commercial legal software company. I do not use Wikisource to promote it and I keep my contributions to public-domain material. Messages are welcome on my talk page. </div> :[[User:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|Ravi Kumar Daparthi]] ([[User talk:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|talk]]) 11:17, 29 September 2026 (UTC) ::Thanks for asking. I personally have no objection to linking to your own webpage and that's a common thing to happen on a user page: if you want to direct someone to a different part of the Web to learn more about you, I think that's fine. As for when you can add links, I can never remember the specifics, but it's after <var>x</var> days and <var>y</var> edits. The exact numbers are small and they vary from wiki to wiki, so that's why it's difficult for me to remember on any given one. I recommend that you just make constructive edits for a bit and then you'll notice that the change will happen spontaneously. As for your second question, I am not terribly familiar with Indian government documents, so nothing immediately comes to mind. You could try asking editors are more active sites that have material in Indian languages, e.g. at [[:hi:]] or <em>maybe</em> even those who participated in [[:m:Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon 2020]]? Looking at [[:c:Category:Multilingual text]], I see that [[:File:ਪਰਮ-ਅਖਰੀ ਕਿ ਪੈਂਤੀ ਅਖਰੀ.pdf]] is an English/Punjabi text that you could add here, but it is not related to Indian law and politics.

'''Updates for editors''' * Editors using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor|visual editor]] will now see a warning when they paste text that is likely to have initially been copied from one of five external generative AI chatbots into Wikipedia. This feature is known as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check|LLM Paste Check]]. It is a type of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check|Edit Check]] that is community configurable. The check looks for markers in the copied HTML and is not using content watermark detection. Edits will also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check#Edit tags|be tagged]] so that patrollers can review them more closely. The feature helps newcomers add content that respects Wikipedia’s policies and makes it easier for experienced editors to identify problematic edits. Communities with local policies about LLM usage can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check#Configuration|adjust the wording and policy that is linked]]. The team [[listarchive:list/translators-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/EVHKWJ4IERZELMPIWNH3XUVUSQV5KOO4/|apologizes]] that this was rolled out without a delay for translations. * Editors can now easily [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Future of Editing on the Mobile Apps|access the web visual editor directly from the iOS and Android apps]]. When opening the editor, users will be given a choice between visual editing and source editing. If they choose visual editing, they will be sent to a mobile web window in their phone's browser. After completing their edit, a banner will give them the option to return to the app. This enables readers to make quick contributions while casually reading. * Users of the Wikipedia Android and iOS apps will now see a one-time account creation prompt after they have used the app for two consecutive weeks. This prompt explains the benefits of having an account. It is intended to help more casual readers become logged-in users who return to the apps regularly. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T434847] * Editors on [[wmnoc:conf/dblists/group1.dblist|group1 wikis]], including Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, and Wikisource, will no longer see notifications on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Recent changes|Recent Changes]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help: Watching pages|Watchlist]] when a link to another language version of a page is added, removed, or changed in its Wikidata item.

Read more in the [[wmfblog:2026/09/26/wikimedia-brasils-development-best-practices-framework-technical-sustainability-as-an-organizational-responsibility|Diff post]]. * A new, canonical base URL for Wikimedia APIs will soon be introduced. The new canonical route follows a <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>{projectName}/api/</nowiki></code></bdi> pattern and will act as an alternative path for current REST APIs (for example: <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>{projectName}/w/rest.php/</nowiki></code></bdi>). Both versions will be callable for all existing APIs, but the new structure will be the preferred path for newly created API modules. This change will be non-breaking for most users. The existing pathways will remain available for all existing endpoint requests. However, some endpoints may return URLs following the new pattern in response bodies. Changes will be available on test wiki first, with the rollout expected to cover all wikis by the end of October.

Previously, there were two versions of how the Watchlist is shown to mobile web users: the list view, where editors could see watched articles in a list format, and the changelog view, where editors could see changes to watched articles in a log format, controlled by a user's Advanced Mobile Control settings. This has created issues for code-base maintenance: two different displays means two sets of code to manage. By defaulting to the changelog view, we are simplifying the codebase and avoiding the likelihood of missing bugs. * The Wikipedia Android app is testing a way to listen to article introductions in the “For you” feed. A text-to-speech model reads the existing article text aloud without rewriting it or adding any content. The 30-day experiment will begin in the Wikipedia Beta app during the third week of September, then move to the regular Wikipedia Android app in October for a limited group of eligible users. A small portion of app users (those with English feeds and at least one topic interest) will have access to the feature.

[[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.

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.

Honestly, my ideal would be to split multi-lingual WS into mul.wikisource.org, and organize it as its own project, and make this main wikisource.org ''just'' a portal to those other sites, similar to how Wikipedia works (and by default redirecting all traffic to specific pages to the page on mul.ws). I think that would be clearer to people, including editors. However, that’s a pretty big change, and I wouldn’t move forward with it without substantial discussion both here and at individual language subdomains. : In the meantime, I think your proposal’s points are reasonable. I don’t see a particular reason to move the main page to [[Wikisource:Main Page]], but everything else seems fine.

'''The Change:'''<br /> Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]]. We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''. '''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.

'''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.

Community members are invited to provide feedback on the recommendation until May 8th [[:m:Talk:Product and Technology Advisory Council/May 2026 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|on the talk page]]. * The number of available thumbnail size preferences in MediaWiki is being reduced to three standardized options—Small (180px), Regular (250px), and Large (400px), as part of ongoing efforts to improve performance and reduce strain on thumbnail services. 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. There is a difference between this and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|Global reminder bot]] in that the latter reminds users a week ''before'' the rights are due to expire, so that they can renew the rights. * [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:32}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:32|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the problem where the ULS language selector in [[m:Special:Translate|Special:Translate]] would scroll vertically when it shouldn't, has been resolved. Previously, when users opened the "Translate to English" dropdown and typed certain inputs, the dialog would scroll vertically by a few pixels even when there was enough space to display all results. The dropdown no longer shifts unnecessarily when filtering languages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358864] * The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]], which lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on a single page, continues to improve. For example, watchlists for Wikibase sites such as [[:d:|Wikidata]] now support [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:EntitySchema|EntitySchema]] elements for better tracking. 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%.

I have tried multiple browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge), multiple networks including mobile data, and DNS changes to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1.

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]].

[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.

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>.

'''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. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428220] * After a [[phab:T426248|successful experiment]], logged-in users who did not [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Email_confirmation|confirm their email address]] when their account was created see a new banner asking them to complete that process. This helps reduce the risk that users get locked out of their account, and makes account email addresses overall more reliable. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] project. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428292] * An update to [[Special:Search|Search]] is refining how the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>-prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> behaves when used to exclude results. 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.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367077] * DiscussionTools' source mode and the 2017 wikitext editor will now offer autocomplete for links (<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>[[</nowiki></code></bdi>), templates (<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki></code></bdi>), HTML and parser tags (<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki><</nowiki></code></bdi>), and magic words (<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>__</nowiki></code></bdi>), making it quicker and easier to insert links, templates, and other wiki markup while editing. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T432400] * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews|Readers Growth team]] has concluded its experiment with mobile page previews and will not roll out the feature. Page Previews are a pop-up bottom sheet that appears when readers tap a blue link, showing a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and an option to open the article. The experiment showed flat retention and negative indicator metrics, suggesting that mobile web readers preferred navigating directly to linked articles rather than using page previews. * The Reader Experience team has seen encouraging early results from the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists feature]], with 93% of participating users reporting that it was useful. Reading Lists help active readers save articles for future reading and support their learning goals on Wikimedia projects. The team plans further improvements before expanding the feature to more users. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh|Explore Feed Refresh]] initiative was tested with new and casual Wikipedia app readers. The refreshed feed helps readers discover new and relevant content. After a 10.5% increase in engagement with the feed, Wikimedia Apps team has decided to scale the Home Feed redesign to iOS with the learnings from the Android release applied. * [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier. If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation. There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki. To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]]. <section end="announcement-content" /> [[mw:User:MSantos (WMF)|Content Transform Team]] 16:31, 3 August 2026 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:MSantos (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Distribution_list/Global_message_delivery/Wikisource&oldid=28221043 --> == Tech News: 2026-32 == <section begin="technews-2026-W32"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

As you may know, the [[m:Community_Wishlist|Community Wishlist]] started out as an annual process through which Wikimedia contributors submit and vote on technical improvements they would like the Wikimedia Foundation to work on. The main goal of it is and has been to improve the editing experience by making changes and features the community asks for specifically. In recent years, the process behind the wishlist has changed, and we’ve heard from many of you that it no longer meets many community members’ needs. So now, the Foundation is designing a new process with the community to improve how wishes are triaged, voted on, and prioritized in a way that is transparent, balanced across project families and language editions, and takes into account what the Foundation can deliver. I would like to get community input specifically on these three stages of the Wishlist process: * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#triage|'''triage stage''']], meaning how wishes are fleshed out, organized and filtered prior to voting ** We recommend to have a working group, including volunteers from various wikis and Wikimedia Foundation staff to work through this together * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#vote|'''voting stage''']], including who may vote and how votes are structured * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#postvote|'''post-vote stage''']], including how to bring equity into what work is prioritized ** One way to do this is to rank wishes within 3 categories: Large Wikipedias or covering all wikis, small and medium-sized Wikipedias, and '''sister projects''', so that top-voted wishes from smaller projects also get attention This message is an abstract of the full proposed process. As you [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027|read the proposed ideas on Meta]] (available in your language), please speak up about whether you think this will work well or if there are ways to make it stronger. Regarding the timeline, this consultation is open for two weeks. You can post your feedback on Meta (in your preferred language) or in response below. For this year’s cycle, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#timeline|we plan]] to have the wish submission period in late October/early November and the triage process completed by late November. To respect the end-of-year holiday season, voting would happen in early to mid January. This first voting cycle is meant as a first step to try out a new process, and there will be more opportunities to provide feedback along the way, so that we can figure out the best process for future years together.

The experiment is to test whether this notice makes visitors come back to Wikipedia more often.

We are interested in testing this on other languages that Google supports and would welcome assistance with starting conversations on other wikis. If interested, please reach out to Future Audiences on the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Future Audiences/Preferred sources|talk page]]. '''Updates for editors''' * The chat platform Discord is releasing a new self-service framework that websites can use to specify how their links should look when shared on Discord. The Future Audiences team is planning to start using this new framework to improve how Wikipedia links look when shared on Discord, giving better attribution and credit to contributors. The link appearance and behavior won't change in the first phase of this project as we want to first collect some baseline data to assess the impact of future changes.

My account has very few edits here, which I assume is the reason. The content is my own biography and the links point only to my own website and public profiles (my Wikidata item is Q141517141). Could an administrator tell me what the filter objects to, or add the text on my behalf? I am also happy to contribute to Wikisource. Thank you.

There are no awards, no media coverage and no external links; the only cross-references are to my Wikidata account and item. The text is copied below so it can be checked in one place. Two questions: once the account has some history, would a single link to my personal website be acceptable on the page, and is there a good starting point you would suggest for Indian legal or bilingual government texts on this site? I will start with proofreading in the meantime. <div style="margin-left:2em; border:1px solid #a2a9b1; background:#f8f9fa; padding:0.5em 1em;"> '''Ravi Kumar Daparthi''' (also written Ravi Daparthi) is a technology entrepreneur based in Hyderabad, India. I edit Wikidata as Daparthiravi; my Wikidata item is Q141517141. (Babel: English 4, Telugu native, Hindi 2.) '''Background.''' I have spent more than twenty years building software: first in enterprise delivery at Publicis Sapient, then in HR and recruitment technology at CEIPAL and at Oorwin, which I co-founded, and now as co-founder and CEO of LawVyn, a case management platform for Indian advocates and law firms. I also co-founded Signitives, an AI product engineering firm. I trained as an electronics engineer, studied project management at the Indian Institute of Science and IIM Bangalore, and I am doing doctoral research at the Swiss School of Business and Management, Geneva, on how large organisations adopt AI. '''Mentoring and community.''' Outside the companies, I give time to people who are starting out. I have been a startup mentor at T-Hub, Hyderabad since 2023, working with early-stage founders on product, go-to-market, customer acquisition and fundraising and opening doors to investors and customers. Through the International Startup Foundation's Junicorn100K initiative I mentor rural youth across India, helping them turn ideas into working prototypes and connect with global markets, in line with the Bharat 2047 vision. I also mentor at E-Cell IIT Bombay's Eureka! business-model competition, and I speak to students on campuses when invited, including IIM Sambalpur and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Chennai, on the road from engineering to entrepreneurship. I volunteer with The Akshaya Patra Foundation, and the causes I care about are children, education, the environment and access to science and technology. Free access to knowledge is part of the same commitment, and it is what brings me to Wikisource. '''What I can help with.''' * Indian legal documents: I work with advocates every day and know how Indian legislation, judgments and gazette notifications are structured and published. * Proofreading in Telugu and English, and reading Hindi. * Tooling: OCR, text clean-up and scripting for document work. * Structured data: linking works and authors to Wikidata. '''What I plan to work on.''' * Indian legislation, court judgments and official gazette notifications, which Indian copyright law allows to be reproduced freely. * Bilingual Indian government publications (Hindi and English, Telugu and English), which suit Multilingual Wikisource. * Public-domain Telugu works on Telugu Wikisource. '''How I edit.''' Scan-backed, faithful transcription with no modernising of the text; a copyright check before anything is uploaded; small edits first and questions on talk pages before any bulk work. Disclosure: I run a commercial legal software company. I do not use Wikisource to promote it and I keep my contributions to public-domain material. Messages are welcome on my talk page. </div> :[[User:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|Ravi Kumar Daparthi]] ([[User talk:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|talk]]) 11:17, 29 September 2026 (UTC) ::Thanks for asking. I personally have no objection to linking to your own webpage and that's a common thing to happen on a user page: if you want to direct someone to a different part of the Web to learn more about you, I think that's fine. As for when you can add links, I can never remember the specifics, but it's after <var>x</var> days and <var>y</var> edits. The exact numbers are small and they vary from wiki to wiki, so that's why it's difficult for me to remember on any given one. I recommend that you just make constructive edits for a bit and then you'll notice that the change will happen spontaneously. As for your second question, I am not terribly familiar with Indian government documents, so nothing immediately comes to mind. You could try asking editors are more active sites that have material in Indian languages, e.g. at [[:hi:]] or <em>maybe</em> even those who participated in [[:m:Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon 2020]]?

This feature is known as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check|LLM Paste Check]]. It is a type of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check|Edit Check]] that is community configurable. The check looks for markers in the copied HTML and is not using content watermark detection. Edits will also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check#Edit tags|be tagged]] so that patrollers can review them more closely. The feature helps newcomers add content that respects Wikipedia’s policies and makes it easier for experienced editors to identify problematic edits.

The team [[listarchive:list/translators-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/EVHKWJ4IERZELMPIWNH3XUVUSQV5KOO4/|apologizes]] that this was rolled out without a delay for translations. * Editors can now easily [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Future of Editing on the Mobile Apps|access the web visual editor directly from the iOS and Android apps]]. When opening the editor, users will be given a choice between visual editing and source editing. If they choose visual editing, they will be sent to a mobile web window in their phone's browser. After completing their edit, a banner will give them the option to return to the app. This enables readers to make quick contributions while casually reading. * Users of the Wikipedia Android and iOS apps will now see a one-time account creation prompt after they have used the app for two consecutive weeks. This prompt explains the benefits of having an account. It is intended to help more casual readers become logged-in users who return to the apps regularly.

Read more in the [[wmfblog:2026/09/26/wikimedia-brasils-development-best-practices-framework-technical-sustainability-as-an-organizational-responsibility|Diff post]]. * A new, canonical base URL for Wikimedia APIs will soon be introduced.

Both versions will be callable for all existing APIs, but the new structure will be the preferred path for newly created API modules. This change will be non-breaking for most users. The existing pathways will remain available for all existing endpoint requests. However, some endpoints may return URLs following the new pattern in response bodies.

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.

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.

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. [[User:Catonif|Catonif]] ([[User talk:Catonif|talk]]) 22:42, 13 April 2026 (UTC) :::::I see. I was hoping it was within your capabilities.

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.

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.

'''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. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428220] * After a [[phab:T426248|successful experiment]], logged-in users who did not [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Email_confirmation|confirm their email address]] when their account was created see a new banner asking them to complete that process. This helps reduce the risk that users get locked out of their account, and makes account email addresses overall more reliable. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] project. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428292] * An update to [[Special:Search|Search]] is refining how the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>-prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> behaves when used to exclude results. 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.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T432400] * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews|Readers Growth team]] has concluded its experiment with mobile page previews and will not roll out the feature. Page Previews are a pop-up bottom sheet that appears when readers tap a blue link, showing a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and an option to open the article. The experiment showed flat retention and negative indicator metrics, suggesting that mobile web readers preferred navigating directly to linked articles rather than using page previews. * The Reader Experience team has seen encouraging early results from the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists feature]], with 93% of participating users reporting that it was useful. Reading Lists help active readers save articles for future reading and support their learning goals on Wikimedia projects. The team plans further improvements before expanding the feature to more users. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh|Explore Feed Refresh]] initiative was tested with new and casual Wikipedia app readers. The refreshed feed helps readers discover new and relevant content. After a 10.5% increase in engagement with the feed, Wikimedia Apps team has decided to scale the Home Feed redesign to iOS with the learnings from the Android release applied. * [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier. If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation. There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki. To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]]. <section end="announcement-content" /> [[mw:User:MSantos (WMF)|Content Transform Team]] 16:31, 3 August 2026 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:MSantos (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Distribution_list/Global_message_delivery/Wikisource&oldid=28221043 --> == Tech News: 2026-32 == <section begin="technews-2026-W32"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

As you may know, the [[m:Community_Wishlist|Community Wishlist]] started out as an annual process through which Wikimedia contributors submit and vote on technical improvements they would like the Wikimedia Foundation to work on. The main goal of it is and has been to improve the editing experience by making changes and features the community asks for specifically. In recent years, the process behind the wishlist has changed, and we’ve heard from many of you that it no longer meets many community members’ needs. So now, the Foundation is designing a new process with the community to improve how wishes are triaged, voted on, and prioritized in a way that is transparent, balanced across project families and language editions, and takes into account what the Foundation can deliver. I would like to get community input specifically on these three stages of the Wishlist process: * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#triage|'''triage stage''']], meaning how wishes are fleshed out, organized and filtered prior to voting ** We recommend to have a working group, including volunteers from various wikis and Wikimedia Foundation staff to work through this together * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#vote|'''voting stage''']], including who may vote and how votes are structured * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#postvote|'''post-vote stage''']], including how to bring equity into what work is prioritized ** One way to do this is to rank wishes within 3 categories: Large Wikipedias or covering all wikis, small and medium-sized Wikipedias, and '''sister projects''', so that top-voted wishes from smaller projects also get attention This message is an abstract of the full proposed process. As you [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027|read the proposed ideas on Meta]] (available in your language), please speak up about whether you think this will work well or if there are ways to make it stronger. Regarding the timeline, this consultation is open for two weeks. You can post your feedback on Meta (in your preferred language) or in response below. For this year’s cycle, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#timeline|we plan]] to have the wish submission period in late October/early November and the triage process completed by late November. To respect the end-of-year holiday season, voting would happen in early to mid January. This first voting cycle is meant as a first step to try out a new process, and there will be more opportunities to provide feedback along the way, so that we can figure out the best process for future years together.

Previously, users could get confused when the top search suggestions did not match exactly what they had typed. The new redirect notice clarifies that these suggestions are not random, but related to the search. The suggested pages may be redirects to the most relevant destination articles being searched for. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T303013] * Logged-out Wikipedia users on mobile web will begin to see a bookmark button for saving articles to their [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|reading lists]] instead of the current Watchstar button. When clicked, the bookmark button prompts users to log in or create an account to save an article for later. An earlier experiment found that the bookmark icon was four times more likely than the Watchstar button to encourage logged-out users to create an account. This change is part of efforts to encourage more readers to become account holders and use features that help them save and return to content. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T438769] * An experiment will begin on September 29 on Spanish, Arabic, English, and French Wikipedias to simplify the experience users encounter immediately after account creation.

My account has very few edits here, which I assume is the reason. The content is my own biography and the links point only to my own website and public profiles (my Wikidata item is Q141517141). Could an administrator tell me what the filter objects to, or add the text on my behalf? I am also happy to contribute to Wikisource. Thank you.

There are no awards, no media coverage and no external links; the only cross-references are to my Wikidata account and item. The text is copied below so it can be checked in one place. Two questions: once the account has some history, would a single link to my personal website be acceptable on the page, and is there a good starting point you would suggest for Indian legal or bilingual government texts on this site? I will start with proofreading in the meantime. <div style="margin-left:2em; border:1px solid #a2a9b1; background:#f8f9fa; padding:0.5em 1em;"> '''Ravi Kumar Daparthi''' (also written Ravi Daparthi) is a technology entrepreneur based in Hyderabad, India. I edit Wikidata as Daparthiravi; my Wikidata item is Q141517141. (Babel: English 4, Telugu native, Hindi 2.) '''Background.''' I have spent more than twenty years building software: first in enterprise delivery at Publicis Sapient, then in HR and recruitment technology at CEIPAL and at Oorwin, which I co-founded, and now as co-founder and CEO of LawVyn, a case management platform for Indian advocates and law firms. I also co-founded Signitives, an AI product engineering firm. I trained as an electronics engineer, studied project management at the Indian Institute of Science and IIM Bangalore, and I am doing doctoral research at the Swiss School of Business and Management, Geneva, on how large organisations adopt AI. '''Mentoring and community.''' Outside the companies, I give time to people who are starting out. I have been a startup mentor at T-Hub, Hyderabad since 2023, working with early-stage founders on product, go-to-market, customer acquisition and fundraising and opening doors to investors and customers. Through the International Startup Foundation's Junicorn100K initiative I mentor rural youth across India, helping them turn ideas into working prototypes and connect with global markets, in line with the Bharat 2047 vision. I also mentor at E-Cell IIT Bombay's Eureka! business-model competition, and I speak to students on campuses when invited, including IIM Sambalpur and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Chennai, on the road from engineering to entrepreneurship. I volunteer with The Akshaya Patra Foundation, and the causes I care about are children, education, the environment and access to science and technology. Free access to knowledge is part of the same commitment, and it is what brings me to Wikisource. '''What I can help with.''' * Indian legal documents: I work with advocates every day and know how Indian legislation, judgments and gazette notifications are structured and published. * Proofreading in Telugu and English, and reading Hindi. * Tooling: OCR, text clean-up and scripting for document work. * Structured data: linking works and authors to Wikidata. '''What I plan to work on.''' * Indian legislation, court judgments and official gazette notifications, which Indian copyright law allows to be reproduced freely. * Bilingual Indian government publications (Hindi and English, Telugu and English), which suit Multilingual Wikisource. * Public-domain Telugu works on Telugu Wikisource. '''How I edit.''' Scan-backed, faithful transcription with no modernising of the text; a copyright check before anything is uploaded; small edits first and questions on talk pages before any bulk work. Disclosure: I run a commercial legal software company. I do not use Wikisource to promote it and I keep my contributions to public-domain material. Messages are welcome on my talk page. </div> :[[User:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|Ravi Kumar Daparthi]] ([[User talk:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|talk]]) 11:17, 29 September 2026 (UTC) ::Thanks for asking. I personally have no objection to linking to your own webpage and that's a common thing to happen on a user page: if you want to direct someone to a different part of the Web to learn more about you, I think that's fine. As for when you can add links, I can never remember the specifics, but it's after <var>x</var> days and <var>y</var> edits. The exact numbers are small and they vary from wiki to wiki, so that's why it's difficult for me to remember on any given one. I recommend that you just make constructive edits for a bit and then you'll notice that the change will happen spontaneously. As for your second question, I am not terribly familiar with Indian government documents, so nothing immediately comes to mind. You could try asking editors are more active sites that have material in Indian languages, e.g. at [[:hi:]] or <em>maybe</em> even those who participated in [[:m:Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon 2020]]?

'''Updates for editors''' * Editors using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor|visual editor]] will now see a warning when they paste text that is likely to have initially been copied from one of five external generative AI chatbots into Wikipedia. This feature is known as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check|LLM Paste Check]]. It is a type of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check|Edit Check]] that is community configurable. The check looks for markers in the copied HTML and is not using content watermark detection. Edits will also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check#Edit tags|be tagged]] so that patrollers can review them more closely. The feature helps newcomers add content that respects Wikipedia’s policies and makes it easier for experienced editors to identify problematic edits. Communities with local policies about LLM usage can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check#Configuration|adjust the wording and policy that is linked]]. The team [[listarchive:list/translators-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/EVHKWJ4IERZELMPIWNH3XUVUSQV5KOO4/|apologizes]] that this was rolled out without a delay for translations. * Editors can now easily [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Future of Editing on the Mobile Apps|access the web visual editor directly from the iOS and Android apps]]. When opening the editor, users will be given a choice between visual editing and source editing. If they choose visual editing, they will be sent to a mobile web window in their phone's browser. After completing their edit, a banner will give them the option to return to the app. This enables readers to make quick contributions while casually reading. * Users of the Wikipedia Android and iOS apps will now see a one-time account creation prompt after they have used the app for two consecutive weeks. This prompt explains the benefits of having an account. It is intended to help more casual readers become logged-in users who return to the apps regularly.

Previously, there were two versions of how the Watchlist is shown to mobile web users: the list view, where editors could see watched articles in a list format, and the changelog view, where editors could see changes to watched articles in a log format, controlled by a user's Advanced Mobile Control settings. This has created issues for code-base maintenance: two different displays means two sets of code to manage. By defaulting to the changelog view, we are simplifying the codebase and avoiding the likelihood of missing bugs. * The Wikipedia Android app is testing a way to listen to article introductions in the “For you” feed.

[[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.

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 :') ).

(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.

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.

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.

[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]].

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>.

'''Updates for editors''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reader/Reader Experience|Reader Experience team]] has incorporated community feedback around the placement of watchstar and watchlist buttons for the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|Reading Lists beta feature]], which would allow for saving articles for later reading – a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/W102|wishlist item]] to bring the functionality to web. Editors are invited to enable the beta feature to test it out and [[phab:T426453|share their thoughts]]. * [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Suggestion Mode|Suggestion Mode]] offers edit suggestions within the VisualEditor for improving Wikipedia articles. [[Special:EditChecks|All suggestions]] are [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Suggestion mode#For administrators – local customization|community-configurable]]. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/TextMatch|TextMatch]] feature is a way for volunteers to create custom local suggestions. The feature searches in articles for strings of text, and now includes support for regular expressions. This gives volunteers greater precision and flexibility over the kinds of local suggestions they can create. Note: Suggestions [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Configuration#:~:text=maximumEditcount|can be targeted]] based on the edit count of the person editing as well as other aspects of the page. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Suggestion mode#Create custom local types of Suggestions|find examples from other communities]] for inspiration, including TextMatches that detect: typos, grammar-errors, potential advertisements, clichés, incorrect dash or hyphen usage, non-specific time keywords, outdated names, and more.

Overall, in the last quarter from April – June 2026 about 337 community tasks were resolved by the Wikimedia Foundation. '''Updates for technical contributors''' * On Parsoid-enabled wikis, Parsoid now renders a maximum of 1,250 images per page. A new tracking category, "media-limit-reached", will be soon made available to identify pages where this limit is reached, making it easier to find content whose media output may have been restricted during rendering.

'''Updates for editors''' * [[File:Maki-gift-15.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/ContentTranslation|Content Translation]] now supports dark mode, fulfilling a [[m:Community Wishlist/W544|Community Wishlist request]]. This brings the tool in line with the accessibility features available in the Vector 2022 and Minerva skins, helping reduce visual fatigue for users translating content. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367077] * DiscussionTools' source mode and the 2017 wikitext editor will now offer autocomplete for links (<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>[[</nowiki></code></bdi>), templates (<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki></code></bdi>), HTML and parser tags (<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki><</nowiki></code></bdi>), and magic words (<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>__</nowiki></code></bdi>), making it quicker and easier to insert links, templates, and other wiki markup while editing. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T432400] * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Growth/Mobile page previews|Readers Growth team]] has concluded its experiment with mobile page previews and will not roll out the feature. Page Previews are a pop-up bottom sheet that appears when readers tap a blue link, showing a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and an option to open the article. The experiment showed flat retention and negative indicator metrics, suggesting that mobile web readers preferred navigating directly to linked articles rather than using page previews. * The Reader Experience team has seen encouraging early results from the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists feature]], with 93% of participating users reporting that it was useful. Reading Lists help active readers save articles for future reading and support their learning goals on Wikimedia projects. The team plans further improvements before expanding the feature to more users. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Explore Feed Refresh|Explore Feed Refresh]] initiative was tested with new and casual Wikipedia app readers. The refreshed feed helps readers discover new and relevant content. After a 10.5% increase in engagement with the feed, Wikimedia Apps team has decided to scale the Home Feed redesign to iOS with the learnings from the Android release applied. * [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

Subject names will now follow the correct capitalization rules for the language. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T427201] '''Updates for technical contributors''' * After running several [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments|Account Creation Experiments]] to improve registration completion rates, a new version of the username field on [[Special:CreateAccount|Create Account]] has been rolled out. It includes [[:c:File:Create account - July 2026 updates.png|a popover summarizing the username policy]] to provide clearer guidance during account creation. As part of this change, the messages <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>createacct-helpusername</nowiki></code></bdi> and <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>createacct-username-help</nowiki></code></bdi> that several communities have configured will no longer be used.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T430604] * Later this week, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror syntax highlighter]] will offer [[w:en:Theme (computing)|themes]]. The themes can be picked from a dropdown menu in the full [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror#CodeMirror preferences|CodeMirror preferences]] dialog. For wikitext, available themes are default, colorblind-friendly (previously the colorblind preference option on [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing]]) and no-highlighting. For code languages (i.e., CSS/JavaScript/JSON/Vue/Lua), there are several themes available. These same themes will eventually be available for wikitext, too.

I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier. If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation. There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki. To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]]. <section end="announcement-content" /> [[mw:User:MSantos (WMF)|Content Transform Team]] 16:31, 3 August 2026 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:MSantos (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Distribution_list/Global_message_delivery/Wikisource&oldid=28221043 --> == Tech News: 2026-32 == <section begin="technews-2026-W32"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

The feature supports reading and learning goals on Wikipedia. * Next week, the table of contents on Wikimedia Commons file pages will be improved by consolidating the file page table of contents with the page table of contents.

'''Updates for editors''' * The [[Special:CreateAccount|Special:CreateAccount]] page has been simplified as part of ongoing work to modernize the account creation experience. The panel showing project statistics no longer appears next to the form on desktop and mobile web. Multiple account creation experiments show that a simpler form helps newcomers complete registration. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T433783] * In order to improve page performance, images now load when they are viewed. This means images lower down an article will not load if a reader never scrolls to that part of the page, which may affect some image-related metrics.

Now, it's possible to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CheckUser#User_Info_card_in_page_content|place it in the page content]] as well, using the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>{{#uic:}}</nowiki></code></bdi> parser function. It can be particularly useful in templates like [[:en:Template:Userlinks|<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>{{Userlinks}}</nowiki></code></bdi>]] (or their specialized variants), as it will make it easier to see the context about a user on various noticeboard pages. The card will be displayed only to users who have it enabled in their [[Special:Preferences#mw-input-wpcheckuser-userinfocard-enable|preferences]].

This new process plans to improve how wishes are triaged, voted on, and prioritized in a way that is transparent and balanced across project families and language editions. This consultation is open for two weeks. '''Updates for editors''' * The latest release of the Wikipedia Android app includes updates to the Saved feature, bringing the app’s saving experience closer to iOS and Web. The update redesigns the Saved tab with an “All articles” view, removes the default “Saved” reading list, renames reading lists to “Collections,” and modernizes the article-saving experience. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T420788] * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|Reading Lists]] feature was enabled for all logged-in users on Bengali, Chinese, Czech and Vietnamese Wikipedias on August 25, after several months as a beta feature. Reading Lists will be available to all logged-in users on Arabic, French and Indonesian Wikipedias on September 1, followed by English Wikipedia on September 14, and all other Wikipedia wikis on September 28. * At the end of the month, some logged-out readers on Bengali, Czech, Persian, English, and Polish Wikipedias using the Minerva skin on mobile will see an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Growth/Minimal_Minerva|updated navigation bar]] in an [[w:A/B test|A/B test]]. The test will compare the current navigation bar with a new version designed to make it easier to find information more quickly. The goal is to determine whether these changes encourage readers to return more often. This experiment will not change the experience for logged-in readers and/or editors. * Editors who maintain redirects, templates, and categories used on redirect pages now have improved ways for finding and curating redirects. Previously, redirects pages could not be searched. Two new search keywords, <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>onlyredirects:</nowiki></code></bdi> and <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>withredirects:</nowiki></code></bdi>, now allow redirects to be searched directly and can be combined with existing keywords such as <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>incategory:</nowiki></code></bdi>, <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>intitle:</nowiki></code></bdi>, and <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>insource:</nowiki></code></bdi>.

The old URLs will continue to work for the foreseeable future but MediaWiki will advertise the new domain instead. URLs to other types of media such as original files, videos and transcodes will still be served from upload.wikimedia.org.

As you may know, the [[m:Community_Wishlist|Community Wishlist]] started out as an annual process through which Wikimedia contributors submit and vote on technical improvements they would like the Wikimedia Foundation to work on. The main goal of it is and has been to improve the editing experience by making changes and features the community asks for specifically. In recent years, the process behind the wishlist has changed, and we’ve heard from many of you that it no longer meets many community members’ needs. So now, the Foundation is designing a new process with the community to improve how wishes are triaged, voted on, and prioritized in a way that is transparent, balanced across project families and language editions, and takes into account what the Foundation can deliver. I would like to get community input specifically on these three stages of the Wishlist process: * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#triage|'''triage stage''']], meaning how wishes are fleshed out, organized and filtered prior to voting ** We recommend to have a working group, including volunteers from various wikis and Wikimedia Foundation staff to work through this together * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#vote|'''voting stage''']], including who may vote and how votes are structured * The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#postvote|'''post-vote stage''']], including how to bring equity into what work is prioritized ** One way to do this is to rank wishes within 3 categories: Large Wikipedias or covering all wikis, small and medium-sized Wikipedias, and '''sister projects''', so that top-voted wishes from smaller projects also get attention This message is an abstract of the full proposed process. As you [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027|read the proposed ideas on Meta]] (available in your language), please speak up about whether you think this will work well or if there are ways to make it stronger. Regarding the timeline, this consultation is open for two weeks. You can post your feedback on Meta (in your preferred language) or in response below. For this year’s cycle, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Community_Wishlist_2027#timeline|we plan]] to have the wish submission period in late October/early November and the triage process completed by late November. To respect the end-of-year holiday season, voting would happen in early to mid January. This first voting cycle is meant as a first step to try out a new process, and there will be more opportunities to provide feedback along the way, so that we can figure out the best process for future years together.

'''Updates for editors''' * [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Add_a_link|Add a Link]] has been upgraded for English Wikipedia users with improved detection of links that have different capitalization. This will help reduce ambiguous suggestions caused by differences in capitalization in article titles, including articles about cultural goods. A second phase of improvements is planned, which will also prepare the feature for release in other languages.

Junior editors with 0 to 99 edits will automatically see the feature when they click a red link or use the "[[:tr:Vikipedi:Madde_sihirbazı|Madde oluşturto]]" option on Turkish Wikipedia to create a new article. The change is intended to help junior editors create higher-quality articles that meet each Wikipedia’s standards. [[phab:maniphest/query/z3tcTjmLMxk5/#R|Additional improvements]] will continue based on the experiment results and community feedback. * The [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org Pageviews Analysis] tool which allows users to compare pageviews across multiple pages, turns 10 years old this year and several new features have been added. They include [[toolforge:wikinav|WikiNav]] which provides insights into how readers of Wikipedia explore the content, editing stats in [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/siteviews?range=latest-30&sites=en.wikipedia.org Siteviews], the ability to [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/massviews?source=wikiproject&project=en.wikipedia.org lookup articles belonging to a WikiProject], and support for dark mode. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378549] * A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Growth/Minimal_Minerva|visually simplified Minerva]] navigation bar is being tested for logged-out readers using mobile web on the Bengali, Czech, English, Farsi, and Polish Wikipedias. The experiment aims to determine whether simplifying the navigation improves reader retention. The test will run from August 31 to September 28, and no action is required from users. * [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WMDE Technical Wishes|WMDE Technical Wishes]] is working on improving [[:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Named references|auto-generated reference names in VisualEditor]]. Editors will only notice a slight change starting this week. When adding automatic reference names the numbering will start at <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>:1</nowiki></code></bdi> instead of <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>:0</nowiki></code></bdi>.

The experiment is to test whether this notice makes visitors come back to Wikipedia more often. Preferred Sources feature lets users choose websites they trust so Google can highlight content from those sources more prominently in Search and AI experiences. We are interested in testing this on other languages that Google supports and would welcome assistance with starting conversations on other wikis. If interested, please reach out to Future Audiences on the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Future Audiences/Preferred sources|talk page]]. '''Updates for editors''' * The chat platform Discord is releasing a new self-service framework that websites can use to specify how their links should look when shared on Discord. The Future Audiences team is planning to start using this new framework to improve how Wikipedia links look when shared on Discord, giving better attribution and credit to contributors. The link appearance and behavior won't change in the first phase of this project as we want to first collect some baseline data to assess the impact of future changes. However, if community members who are active on Discord spot any issues, they can reach out on [[phab:tag/future-audiences/|Phabricator]] or [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Future Audiences|Metawiki]]. * The Reader Growth team will be running an experiment to test whether [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Growth/Compact Lead|compacting article lead sections on mobiles]] with the addition of a "read more" button improves reader retention.

We are currently exploring to make a change in the volume and the type of Wikidata edits that appear in these pages, and '''we need your feedback''' to help us ensure this is a positive change for the Wikis and won’t disrupt your workflows.<br/> Language links are also known as sitelinks or interlanguage links and describe when a Wikidata item is connected to a Wiki, adding it to the language dropdown tool for other connected Wikis. [[File:Types of Lang Link changes.png|x350px|frame|A variety of "Language Link" edits as seen in the Recent Changes feed]] The request for feedback is whether you support the removal of these language link edits from the Recent Changes and Watchlist feed, or would you oppose such a change and if so, why?

This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, [[wikitech:Special:MyLanguage/Deployments/Yearly calendar|which happen twice a year]]. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.

Previously, users could get confused when the top search suggestions did not match exactly what they had typed. The new redirect notice clarifies that these suggestions are not random, but related to the search. The suggested pages may be redirects to the most relevant destination articles being searched for. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T303013] * Logged-out Wikipedia users on mobile web will begin to see a bookmark button for saving articles to their [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/Reading lists|reading lists]] instead of the current Watchstar button. When clicked, the bookmark button prompts users to log in or create an account to save an article for later. An earlier experiment found that the bookmark icon was four times more likely than the Watchstar button to encourage logged-out users to create an account. This change is part of efforts to encourage more readers to become account holders and use features that help them save and return to content. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T438769] * An experiment will begin on September 29 on Spanish, Arabic, English, and French Wikipedias to simplify the experience users encounter immediately after account creation.

[[diffblog:2025/03/12/hear-that-the-wikis-go-silent-twice-a-year/|The equinox exercise]] revealed capacity issues, preventing the switch of all services to the other datacenter. The process has been paused, prioritizing investigating that issue, to ensure that we continue to be able to serve our users reliably. A new exercise will be scheduled. Meanwhile, all traffic and edits continue to work as usual. * On September 23, a power loss briefly affected all wikis, creating intermittent issues on both reading and editing modes.

I am Ravi Kumar Daparthi (I also edit Wikidata as Daparthiravi; both accounts are mine). I have prepared an expanded biography for my user page, User:Ravi Kumar Daparthi, drawn from my own website and LinkedIn profile, but every attempt to publish it is disallowed by the Antispam filter, even a version with no external links at all. My account has very few edits here, which I assume is the reason. The content is my own biography and the links point only to my own website and public profiles (my Wikidata item is Q141517141). Could an administrator tell me what the filter objects to, or add the text on my behalf? I am also happy to contribute to Wikisource. Thank you.

I have rewritten [[User:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|my user page]] as a contributor introduction: who I am in a few lines, the languages I work in, what I can help with here (Indian legal texts, Telugu and English proofreading, some tooling), the public-domain material I plan to work on, how I approach editing, and a disclosure that I work in commercial legal software. There are no awards, no media coverage and no external links; the only cross-references are to my Wikidata account and item. The text is copied below so it can be checked in one place. Two questions: once the account has some history, would a single link to my personal website be acceptable on the page, and is there a good starting point you would suggest for Indian legal or bilingual government texts on this site? I will start with proofreading in the meantime. <div style="margin-left:2em; border:1px solid #a2a9b1; background:#f8f9fa; padding:0.5em 1em;"> '''Ravi Kumar Daparthi''' (also written Ravi Daparthi) is a technology entrepreneur based in Hyderabad, India. I edit Wikidata as Daparthiravi; my Wikidata item is Q141517141. (Babel: English 4, Telugu native, Hindi 2.) '''Background.''' I have spent more than twenty years building software: first in enterprise delivery at Publicis Sapient, then in HR and recruitment technology at CEIPAL and at Oorwin, which I co-founded, and now as co-founder and CEO of LawVyn, a case management platform for Indian advocates and law firms. I also co-founded Signitives, an AI product engineering firm. I trained as an electronics engineer, studied project management at the Indian Institute of Science and IIM Bangalore, and I am doing doctoral research at the Swiss School of Business and Management, Geneva, on how large organisations adopt AI. '''Mentoring and community.''' Outside the companies, I give time to people who are starting out. I have been a startup mentor at T-Hub, Hyderabad since 2023, working with early-stage founders on product, go-to-market, customer acquisition and fundraising and opening doors to investors and customers. Through the International Startup Foundation's Junicorn100K initiative I mentor rural youth across India, helping them turn ideas into working prototypes and connect with global markets, in line with the Bharat 2047 vision. I also mentor at E-Cell IIT Bombay's Eureka! business-model competition, and I speak to students on campuses when invited, including IIM Sambalpur and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Chennai, on the road from engineering to entrepreneurship. I volunteer with The Akshaya Patra Foundation, and the causes I care about are children, education, the environment and access to science and technology. Free access to knowledge is part of the same commitment, and it is what brings me to Wikisource. '''What I can help with.''' * Indian legal documents: I work with advocates every day and know how Indian legislation, judgments and gazette notifications are structured and published. * Proofreading in Telugu and English, and reading Hindi. * Tooling: OCR, text clean-up and scripting for document work. * Structured data: linking works and authors to Wikidata. '''What I plan to work on.''' * Indian legislation, court judgments and official gazette notifications, which Indian copyright law allows to be reproduced freely. * Bilingual Indian government publications (Hindi and English, Telugu and English), which suit Multilingual Wikisource. * Public-domain Telugu works on Telugu Wikisource. '''How I edit.''' Scan-backed, faithful transcription with no modernising of the text; a copyright check before anything is uploaded; small edits first and questions on talk pages before any bulk work. Disclosure: I run a commercial legal software company. I do not use Wikisource to promote it and I keep my contributions to public-domain material. Messages are welcome on my talk page. </div> :[[User:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|Ravi Kumar Daparthi]] ([[User talk:Ravi Kumar Daparthi|talk]]) 11:17, 29 September 2026 (UTC) ::Thanks for asking. I personally have no objection to linking to your own webpage and that's a common thing to happen on a user page: if you want to direct someone to a different part of the Web to learn more about you, I think that's fine. As for when you can add links, I can never remember the specifics, but it's after <var>x</var> days and <var>y</var> edits. The exact numbers are small and they vary from wiki to wiki, so that's why it's difficult for me to remember on any given one. I recommend that you just make constructive edits for a bit and then you'll notice that the change will happen spontaneously. As for your second question, I am not terribly familiar with Indian government documents, so nothing immediately comes to mind. You could try asking editors are more active sites that have material in Indian languages, e.g. at [[:hi:]] or <em>maybe</em> even those who participated in [[:m:Indic Wikisource Proofreadthon 2020]]? Looking at [[:c:Category:Multilingual text]], I see that [[:File:ਪਰਮ-ਅਖਰੀ ਕਿ ਪੈਂਤੀ ਅਖਰੀ.pdf]] is an English/Punjabi text that you could add here, but it is not related to Indian law and politics.

'''Updates for editors''' * Editors using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor|visual editor]] will now see a warning when they paste text that is likely to have initially been copied from one of five external generative AI chatbots into Wikipedia. This feature is known as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check|LLM Paste Check]]. It is a type of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check|Edit Check]] that is community configurable. The check looks for markers in the copied HTML and is not using content watermark detection. Edits will also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check#Edit tags|be tagged]] so that patrollers can review them more closely. The feature helps newcomers add content that respects Wikipedia’s policies and makes it easier for experienced editors to identify problematic edits. Communities with local policies about LLM usage can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/LLM Paste Check#Configuration|adjust the wording and policy that is linked]]. The team [[listarchive:list/translators-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/EVHKWJ4IERZELMPIWNH3XUVUSQV5KOO4/|apologizes]] that this was rolled out without a delay for translations. * Editors can now easily [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Future of Editing on the Mobile Apps|access the web visual editor directly from the iOS and Android apps]]. When opening the editor, users will be given a choice between visual editing and source editing. If they choose visual editing, they will be sent to a mobile web window in their phone's browser. After completing their edit, a banner will give them the option to return to the app. This enables readers to make quick contributions while casually reading. * Users of the Wikipedia Android and iOS apps will now see a one-time account creation prompt after they have used the app for two consecutive weeks. This prompt explains the benefits of having an account. It is intended to help more casual readers become logged-in users who return to the apps regularly.

Both versions will be callable for all existing APIs, but the new structure will be the preferred path for newly created API modules. This change will be non-breaking for most users. The existing pathways will remain available for all existing endpoint requests. However, some endpoints may return URLs following the new pattern in response bodies.

'''Weekly highlight''' * Starting October 13, wikis can change the default pattern for [[:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Named references|auto-generated reference names in VisualEditor]] (currently <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline><ref name=":1" /></syntaxhighlight>). They will be able to use human-readable, content-based reference names that are more helpful to contributors using the source editor (e.g. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline><ref name="Miller2026-1" /></syntaxhighlight>). VisualEditor reference name patterns can be defined using MediaWiki system messages, JSON, templates and modules ([[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Cite/VisualEditor reference names|more information]]). Admins can enable these changes via [[Special:CommunityConfiguration/Cite-VisualEditor-Autonames|community configuration]].

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T440243][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T440304] '''Updates for editors''' * [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator Tools|Moderator Tools]] will be removing the list view of the Watchlist and defaulting everyone to the changelog view. Previously, there were two versions of how the Watchlist is shown to mobile web users: the list view, where editors could see watched articles in a list format, and the changelog view, where editors could see changes to watched articles in a log format, controlled by a user's Advanced Mobile Control settings. This has created issues for code-base maintenance: two different displays means two sets of code to manage. By defaulting to the changelog view, we are simplifying the codebase and avoiding the likelihood of missing bugs. * The Wikipedia Android app is testing a way to listen to article introductions in the “For you” feed. A text-to-speech model reads the existing article text aloud without rewriting it or adding any content. The 30-day experiment will begin in the Wikipedia Beta app during the third week of September, then move to the regular Wikipedia Android app in October for a limited group of eligible users. A small portion of app users (those with English feeds and at least one topic interest) will have access to the feature. This experiment is part of broader efforts to give app readers options in how they consume content in order to deepen engagement and user retention.

As no adverse effects have been observed, the [[m:Wikidata_For_Wikimedia_Projects|Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects]] plans to roll out this change globally to all Wikipedias. This is scheduled for October 13 at 07:00 UTC, after which editors will no longer see when a link to ''another'' language version of a page is added, removed, or changed in its Wikidata item.

Ale widok taki będzie monotonnym, jeżeli w okolicy niema choćby kępki drzew, choć gaiku brzozowego. Drzewa w polu szukamy dla cieniu i chłodu, pod drzewem i podróżny, i żniwiarz, i pastuszek lubią spocząć i szukać odpoczynku dla znużonych członków. O ile jednak przyjemniej jest spoczywać nie pod samotnem drzewem, lecz w lasku pośród szemrzących liści, brzęczących owadów i śpiewu ptasząt leśnych! Ogarnia nas wtedy dziwny spokój — i ciało i dusza poddają się tym szeptom i głosom, czujemy, że drzewa mogą nas ukołysać, jak niemowlę w kołysce. O wiele silniej jednak działa na nas wielki szumiący bór sosnowy, tworzący w górze zielone sklepienie, przeplatane grubemi konarami drzew stuletnich. Potężne drzewa, świadkowie minionych stuleci, przemawiają do nas poszumem swych niebotycznych wierzchołków, naginają myśl naszą do czasów dalekich a pięknych, kojarzą w duszy dziwne obrazy, pobudzają do nowych pragnień, wywołują uczucia szlachetne i piękne. Co nam mogą mówić drzewa? Wiele, bardzo wiele mogą nam powiedzieć stare bory; wiekowe dębyi sosny świadkowie ubiegłych wieków, przeszłych smutków i radości. Trzeba jednak te drzewa rozumieć, trzeba umieć gawędzić z sosną i dębem. Ci wielcy świadkowie historji naszej przeszłości mówią nam, że pod ich konarami odbywały się najpierwsze zebrana rodów starych, dających zaczątek późniejszej władzy; pod dachem zielonym drzew odbywały się zebrania i wiece ludu praojców naszych, którzy Państwo Polskie utworzyli; w cieniu gajów szumiących były świątynie i ołtarze ofiarne pogańskich przodków ; bory dawały przytułek mnogiej zwie-<noinclude>{{f|align=right|prawy=1em|3}}</noinclude> t51bjp7m7mwbb3k7g8g8rd8ue4zztif 104 459861 1367675 2026-10-28T12:44:36Z Ankry 20441 /* Przepisana */ 1367675 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Ankry" /></noinclude>rzynie , oraz pierwszym osadom ludów leśnych: w borach czyniono zasieki i zasadzki na wrogów, w nich się [...] ludność przed niebezpiecznemi najazdami, w nich miała [...]cie, dach nad głową i przytułek w chwilach krytycznych. Tyle mogą nam powiedzieć drzewa leśne, ale czy to wszystko? Kto się w borach uchował, ten sosnę uważa za druha i powiernika, a czy przyjaciele szczerzy mają przed sobą sekrety? <br> {{c|'''I. O puszczach i puszczakach.'''}} Nie brakowało nam w Polsce ani pojedyńczo rosnącej drzewiny, ani też lasów mieszanych, borów iglastych i puszcz ciemnych. Puszcze te, czyli niezgłębione okiem ludzkiem, ręką i siekierą nietknięte bory odwieczne, zajmowały w kraju naszym wielkie przestrzenie i nadawały okolicom niektórym specjalnie leśny charakter puszczański. W puszczach rosły potężne sosny, jodły, świerki, buki i dęby, przeplatane gęstą krzewiną liściastą lub jałowcem. Kto nie zna borów, ten puszczy sobie wcale wyobrazić nie potrafi, kto jednak gęste lasy dzisiejsze zna, niech sobie wyobrazi, że drzewa, które w lasach naszych stoją, powinny być 3—5 razy grubsze, 2—3 razy wyższe, rosnące gęściej, z mnóstwem krzaków, przejście tamujących i wierzchołkami drzew tak splątanemi, że słońce przez taki parasol nie zawsze się przedrze. Drzew w borach takich nikt nie rznie, ani rąbie, rosną one dokąd chcą i jak chcą, żyją swobodnie aż do samej śmierci, t.&nbsp;j. dopóki burza nie wypadnie i sztuk zgrzybiałych lub słabych nie powywraca z {{Korekta|korzeniami|korzeniami.}} Tak zwalone pnie leżą po burzy pokotem, schną na gromadzie, butwieją i gniją, tworząc warstwę rodzajnej próchnicy. Taki dopiero bór — to ''puszcza''. Puszcze takie dawały schronisko wszelakiej zwierzynie drobnej, z grubszej zaś mieszkańcami kniei leśnych były: wilki, dziki, niedźwiedzie, jelenie, sarny, łosie i żubry. <nowiki/><noinclude>{{f|lewy=1em|4}}</noinclude> 0eq2yoa4qcolrflxwkrat8fn8t6dytj 104 459862 1367676 2026-10-28T12:52:42Z Ankry 20441 /* Not proofread */ auto summary: New page created (no summary given) 1367676 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Ankry" /></noinclude>Do ważniejszych puszcz, na ziemiach polskich leżących, zaliczano: Niepołomicką w ziemi Krakowskiej, Świętokrzyską w górach Świętokrzyskich, Kozieniecką w Radomskiem, Kampinoską w ziemi Warszawskiej, Białowieską w Grodzieńskiem, Kurpiowską, składającą się z puszcz: Zielonej (nad Narwią) i Białej (nad Bugiem). Były jeszcze puszcze: Augustowskie w Suwalskiem, Mazurskie w Prusach polskich, Tucholskie bliżej Baltyku i&nbsp;t.&nbsp;d., noszące nazwy swoje od miejscowości i okolic, gdzie się znajdowały. Z tych wszystkich wielu innych pozostała do dziś tylko jedna puszcza Białowieska, mocno już przetrzebiona. Inne to albo już tylko nędzne szczątki, albo bory, które zachowały dawne swe nazwy, świadczące o ich wielkości i przeminionej sławie puszczańskiej. Ze zwierząt błąkają się w borach naszych tylko nieliczne resztki sarn, dzików i jeleni, grubsza zaś zwierzyna jest tylko w Grodzieńskiem i Pińszczyźnie dawnych obszarach Rzeczypospolitej. Puszcze, zarosłe i niedostępne, nie posiadały dróg ani gościńców, prócz ścieżek, wydeptanych przez stada zwierząt, chodzących gromadnie do źródeł leśnych lub rzek i jezior pobliskich, które służyły im za miejsce wodopoju. Rzeki te jednocześnie były gościńcami do wnętrza okolic puszczańskich, tędy wędrowały rodziny i pojedyńczy osadnicy, płynąc na czółnach i tratwach. Ciche polany leśne w pobliżu wody służyły im za miejsca osadnicze, a ścieżki, wydeptane przez zwierzęta były gościńcami do wnętrza borów gdzie się ludność zagłębiała, w celu poszukiwania miodu dzikiego, jagód i zwierzyny. I spyta może niejeden, poco ci ludzie przyszli w tak głuche bory, czy nie lepiej im siedzieć po miastach, lub w miejscach przestronych i handlowych dla rolnictwa zdatnych. Otóż było z tem rozmaicie. Przedewszystkiem w borach było bezpieczniej i swobodniej, bo choć sąsiadować trzeba było z wilkiem drapieżnym, albo niedźwiedziem kudłatym, to jednak człowiek mniej ich się nieraz bał od dra-<noinclude>{{f|align=right|prawy=1em|5}}</noinclude> dg3b5ymp8yrycuj3rl8rhwyui31al2a 104 459863 1367677 2026-10-28T12:59:56Z Ankry 20441 /* Przepisana */ 1367677 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Ankry" /></noinclude>pieżnych sąsiadów. Polska była przedmiotem napaści różnych dzikich hord i ludów dalszych, barbarzyńskich. Napady nie pozwalały ani zagospodarować się dobrze, ani siedzib i miast trwałych budować. Kto więc wlazł do boru i w bezpieczeństwie swem zasmakował, to już go i wilcy z puszcz nie wykurzyli. Siedział i rzadko kiedy nos z boru wychylał. Druga przyczyna osiedlania się w borach leży już w samej naturze ludzkiej. Wiadomo jest, że człek do człeka nigdy nie jest jednakowo podobny, zawsze ich coś różni, czy to z włosów, czy z oczu, czy z nosa lub twarzy. Otóż, jak to podobieństwo zewnętrzne , tak i natury i usposobienia ludzkie są rozmaite. Jednym z naszych przodków podobały się góry wysokie, poszli więc w te góry; zżyli się w nich z różnemi przepaściami, skałami i krętemi ścieżkami; stosownie do okolicy zaczęli się też ubierać i budować, nabrali zgrabnych ruchów i zwinności — są to ''górale''. Inni poszli nad morze zajmować się rybactwem i żeglarstwem, drudzy znów na żyznych równinach jęli się rolnictwa i hodowli bydła. A jeszcze inni zamknęli się w puszczach leśnych i żyli z polowania na zwierzynę i ptactwo, z hodowli pszczół dzikich i zbierania płodów leśnych: owoców, jagód, grzybów i orzechów. Ludzie ci, mieszkając w ciągłem niebezpieczeństwie i polując na zwierzynę, musieli umieć polować i słynęli z odwagi; musieli też odbywać duże piesze podróże, przeto nabrali wytrwałości i lekkości w chodzeniu pieszo. Potrafili też łazić po drzewach za pszczołami i ptakami, przebywać jeziora i bagna, przedzierać się przez gąszcze leśne, tropić zwierza i radzić sobie w każdej potrzebie. Lud ten to ''puszczaki'' — mieszkańcy borów i puszcz dawnych. Puszczaki to naród wesoły i swobodny, zdolny i spostrzegawczy, ale często obok tego milczący i zawzięty. Z natury swej puszczak kocha bór i ma przeważnie do czynienia z drzewem; z drzewa buduje on swą chatę, czółno, sprzęty gospodarskie i nawet naczynia domowe. Lud puszczański zdolny jest do budownictwa i rzemiosł, obrabiających drzewo, potrafi też uprawiać przemysł z drzewem związany,<noinclude>{{f|lewy=1em|6}}</noinclude> dou917fa5mmbq6hwnzzrdepmhkhknpr 106 459864 1367678 2026-10-28T13:21:27Z Ankry 20441 auto summary: New page created (no summary given) 1367678 sanitized-css text/css ol { margin-left:1em } af33n0px8mo9p8z9qhg659zimwtrad7 1367679 1367678 2026-10-28T13:23:14Z Ankry 20441 1367679 sanitized-css text/css ol { margin-left:2em } j8hfx3939lpnrry71qgnr0ikxnvelq0 104 459865 1367680 2026-10-28T13:23:41Z Ankry 20441 /* Not proofread */ auto summary: New page created (no summary given) 1367680 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Ankry" /></noinclude>puszczańska (kościół drewniany).
