Updates for editors

• Later in November, the Charts extension will be deployed to the test wikis in order to help identify and fix any issue. A security review is underway to then enable deployment to pilot wikis for broader testing. You can read the October project update and see the latest documentation and examples on Beta Wikipedia.
• View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, Pediapress.com, an external service that creates books from Wikipedia, can now use Wikimedia Maps to include existing pre-rendered infobox map images in their printed books on Wikipedia.

Updates for technical contributors

• Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want.
• Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier.

Weekly highlight

• The Mobile Apps team has released an update to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the "Donate" button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned navigation refresh to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.

Updates for editors

• Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's Content Discovery Experiments page and subscribe to their newsletter.
• Later this month, logged-out editors of these 12 wikis will start to have temporary accounts created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new type of user account. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available. Read more about the deployment plan across all wikis.
• View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the South Ndebele, Pannonian Rusyn, Obolo, Iban and Tai Nüa Wikipedia languages were created last week.
• It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new Wikidata lexeme type launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in the latest Wikifunctions newsletter.

Updates for technical contributors

• Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new {{#timef:…}} parser function. For example, {{#timef:now|date|en}} will show as "21 October 2024". Previously, {{#time:…}} could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. #timef (or #timefl for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta.
• Commons and Meta users can now efficiently retrieve the user's language using {{USERLANGUAGE}} instead of using {{int:lang}}.
• The Product and Tech Advisory Council (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the Movement Strategy's Technology Council initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform.

In depth

• The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: an upcoming Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module, new Community Configuration options, and details on new projects.
• The Wikimedia Foundation is now an official partner of the CVE program, which is an international effort to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This partnership will allow the Security Team to instantly publish common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) records that are affecting MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, along with any other code the Foundation is a steward of.
• The Community Wishlist is now testing machine translations for Wishlist content. Volunteers can now read machine-translated versions of wishes and dive into discussions even before translators arrive to translate content.

Meetings and events

• 24 October - Wiki Education Speaker Series Webinar - Open Source Tech: Building the Wiki Education Dashboard, featuring Wikimedia interns and a Web developer in the panel.
• 20–22 December 2024 - Indic Wikimedia Hackathon Bhubaneswar 2024 in Odisha, India. A hackathon for community members, including developers, designers and content editors, to build technical solutions that improve contributors' experiences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsta%27s_Paradise_(album) https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/coolio/gangstas-paradise/

Any idea why the number of tracks are so different?

one is an album, the other is a single?

Q130359520 Did i do it correctly? Havent made a album release item in a long time

pretty much 👍I fixed a few minor details but nothing major.

https://musicbrainz.org/recording/d7691306-4174-4430-be9e-356d83e4710d

"other vocals [scream]:"

Any idea how to model this specific role? I tried to do so on Q130457949

You could perhaps have found a way to re-use the existing screaming instead of creating a new item just for this one band, but that's nit picking. Looks okay to me 👍

Offizielle Deutsche Charts song ID (P8524)

Am i wrong in assuming this identifier is actually about music tracks and not single releases?

Clicking on the first example it looks to be about a single.

Nothing is supposed to be p31 = song by the way. It's either a single, a track, or a work(composition).

EDIT: After looking a little closer, it does indeed seem similar to the Swiss Hitparade - the developers are apparently not making a clear distinction between track and single. Not good :(

Where do you see the website listing tracks?

click on any album and look at a track that wasn't released as a single.

It looks like the website does not actually use the word song (or lied), but rather "Titel" (title) with a release type "single"?

"Nothing is supposed to be p31 = song by the way." We might ought to stop using "song" in the name of identifiers not meant to be used for songs

We can't really control what third parties choose to do, i.e. Allmusic use "song" for tracks and "album" for singles 🤷‍♂️

Wikidata is not a third party

You mean re-naming <Third party song ID> to "third party track ID" on our side to better fit our model? I see your point, but I'm personally not a fan, I would rather use Property:P2559 to document things like that.

Any idea how to bring attention to the music identifier proposals now that ping wont work?

I noted your changes to BABYMETAL DEATH" (Q130457949). Shouldnt there be a constraint if we are not supposed to use composer (P86) or lyricist (P676) on tracks?

if it's a common mistake that people make, then sure. composer/lyricist credits belong on the work/composition item.

I asked about constraints

Anyways how would you feel about the creation of an "unofficial title" property? I wanted to make items for the songs in The Sims series but unfortunately a lot of the songs never got any streaming release (and therefore no official title)

The only title these songs have comes from fan uploads on YT

In that case, why not use the "nickname" property? That's what we use for things like "The Black Album" where fans have given nicknames to otherwise eponymous albums in order to tell them apart.

As a bonus, there's also P1638 (working title) for project names.

How do i model the different purposes that the tracks were created for? "Dance Hauled" is part of the "Hip Hop" radio station, "Sim Builder" plays during "Build" mode, "The Sims 2 theme" plays while in the Neighborhood screen. Needless to say i dont need to explain when the tracks "The Sims 2 Loading Screen" and "Credits" play.

Then there are albums like "Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion - OST" where different tracks plays during different game overs or enemy chases. And "WORLD OF HORROR Soundtrack" where different tracks are assigned to different locations and one of two different modes (Combat/Investigation)

Do we need a new property for this modeling?

Maybe it's better to ask Project Video games about that? I'm usually happy if I can tie a composition to the main work it was created for, and a soundtrack release to the game or film, it feels too far out of my wheelhouse to atomically model "cue used in first part of second scene for Movie NN".

Alr. Will "has quality" be the best placeholder property? Or should i just use "object/subject has role" instead?

Rough draft for now

• Q130524650
• Q130524678

Tho you already made Q108224320 so this type of granularity doesn't look entirely like unfamiliar territory for you

Don't see what that has to do with what you're trying to achieve, Q108224320 is an attempt to capture how genres and instrumentation used to be printed onto the decals of records back in the 78RPM shellac days.

I think has quality/characteristic is a good placeholder, it will make it easier to query and easier to spot when/if dedicated critical mass is reached and dedicated modelling worth exploring 👍

Question about musicbrainz: Are singles and remix singles (both with 1 track each) supposed to share the same release group?

It's a judgment call by MusicBrainz editors I think. If they're released years apart, maybe by different labels, it might be natural to have two different release groups. If it's a "regular" single and a remix single as part of the same release cycle then it might be more natural to group them. There might also be a written policy somewhere on the Musicbrainz site that I'm not aware of, so don't take my word for it.

What should we do about Rate Your Music release ID (P8392)? I have noticed several times where the site created singles for songs that never received any single releases. Same thing for video game soundtrack releases

I was thinking of a rule where releases from RYM have to be supported by secondary sources from other sites but i dont know if the Wikiproject would be willing to that

If you post some examples on the P8392 talk page I can ask around.

Oh, the talk page. Didn't read that. Done now

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/unauth/%E9%88%B4%E6%9C%A8%E6%85%B6%E4%B8%80-%E7%94%B0%E4%B8%AD%E5%AE%8F%E5%92%8C/mother2-%E3%82%AE%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B0%E3%81%AE%E9%80%86%E8%A5%B2-earthbound/ (track names comes from the YT video and seems to be nicknames) (album item have since been deleted from WD) (the fact that the supposed album cover is just the cover for the game doesnt help) (same applies to release date)

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/doja-cat/4-morant-better-luck-next-time/) Q130305423 (This is a SoundCloud-only song. Not a release)

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/lemon-demon/the-ultimate-showdown-of-ultimate-destiny/

Cannot find any evidence for this single release. The only identifier attached is a YT video which shows the cover of a compilation album

Looking at Q130332572 . I don't understand: if you don't think it's a legitimate single, why did you create it in the first place? It does not feel like a good use of anyone's time to be inventing problems by deliberatly creating edge cases when we have so much to do with what is already in WD.

I didn't realize that RYM were making false entries until yesterday and i could not find any guidelines on what to do since there doesnt appear to be any way to tag identifiers for such issues

Something else, do you think there is any thing such as a "literary work soundtrack"? I found a componist who released a soundtrack album for one of this novels

never heard that term, sounds like a bit of a stretch to me? If they insist it's a soundtrack, and not a companion cd or playlist, then I would just call it a "soundtrack album" and reference the source where that claim was made I think.

Alr. Examples now posted on the talk page of P8392

Wikidata:WikiProject_Music#Track_Identifiers

If you ever got time you might wanna take a look to ensure that all identifiers listed here are actually supposed to be used for tracks. I am feeling in doubht about the inclusion of Bait La Zemer Ha-Ivri song ID, Les Enfoirés song ID (archived), Pizmonet ID, Tab4u artist ID, Todotango.com work ID and Zemereshet song ID

Updates for editors

• The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode.
• WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available.
• View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.

Updates for technical contributors

• Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements.
• Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed.
• Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a <bdi> element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time.

In depth

• The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes: updates on Wikimedia's authentication system, research to simplify feature development in the MediaWiki platform, updates on Parser Unification and MathML rollout, and more.

Weekly highlight

• Communities can now request installation of Automoderator on their wiki. Automoderator is an automated anti-vandalism tool that reverts bad edits based on scores from the new "Revert Risk" machine learning model. You can read details about the necessary steps for installation and configuration.

Updates for editors

• Translators in wikis where the mobile experience of Content Translation is available, can now customize their articles suggestion list from 41 filtering options when using the tool. This topic-based article suggestion feature makes it easy for translators to self-discover relevant articles based on their area of interest and translate them. You can try it with your mobile device.
• View all 12 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• It is now possible for <syntaxhighlight> code blocks to offer readers a "Copy" button if the copy=1 attribute is set on the tag. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements.
• Customized copyright footer messages on all wikis will be updated. The new versions will use wikitext markup instead of requiring editing raw HTML.
• Later this month, temporary accounts will be rolled out on several pilot wikis. The final list of the wikis will be published in the second half of the month. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 11 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available.
• Rate limiting has been enabled for the code review tools Gerrit and GitLab to address ongoing issues caused by malicious traffic and scraping. Clients that open too many concurrent connections will be restricted for a few minutes. This rate limiting is managed through nftables firewall rules. For more details, see Wikitech's pages on Firewall, GitLab limits and Gerrit operations.
• Five new wikis have been created:
  • a Wikipedia in Komering (w:kge:)
  • a Wikipedia in Mooré (m:mos:)
  • a Wiktionary in Madurese (wikt:mad:)
  • a Wikiquote in Gorontalo (q:gor:)

Updates for editors

• Readers of 42 more wikis can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the night-mode-checker tool if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The recommendations page provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month.
• Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding ?veaction=editsource to the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in your preferences.
• For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the "donate" link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to "Create an account". This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin. Learn more about the changes related to donor experiences.
• The CampaignEvents extension provides tools for organizers to more easily manage events, communicate with participants, and promote their events on the wikis. The extension has been enabled on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki. Chinese Wikipedia has decided to enable the extension, and discussions on the extension are in progress on Spanish Wikipedia and on Wikidata. To learn how to enable the extension on your wiki, you can visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-Wiki.
• View all 22 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should check if any action is required for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis.

In depth

• The server switch was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of only 2 minutes 46 seconds. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes.

Meetings and events

• October 4–6: WikiIndaba Conference's Hackathon in Johannesburg, South Africa
• November 4–6: MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 in Vienna, Austria

Why are you removing labels and descriptions from various languages?

I'm not removing descriptions am I? With the new "mul" (multiple) language code we don't need to keep repeating the same label for every language wiith the same script anymore, but "mul" descriptions aren't supported yet.

Maybe not with descriptions, but the labels aren't there anymore. Also, I can't reach multiple languages (MUL) when choosing languages.

I'm using the labelLister gadget to reach add the "mul" code, there should be a checkbox to enable it under "Preferences" in the top site menu?

I think they're planning to remove duplicate labels en masse for all kinds of items before too long, so probably good to get used to it. Apparently it's one of the things that contribute greatly to slowing down all of Wikidata now that we have gotten so big.

Oh, I forgot to say: I can hold on doing anything with existing items going forward if that helps, we just need to be prepared for automatic removal that is likely to occur in the not too distant future :)

Weekly highlight

• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday September 25 at 15:00 UTC. Reading the wikis will not be interrupted, but editing will be paused. These twice-yearly processes allow WMF's site reliability engineering teams to remain prepared to keep the wikis functioning even in the event of a major interruption to one of our data centers.

Updates for editors

A screenshot of the interface for the Alt Text suggested-edit feature

• Editors who use the iOS Wikipedia app in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Chinese, may see the Alt Text suggested-edit experiment after editing an article, or completing a suggested edit using "Add an image". Alt-text helps people with visual impairments to read Wikipedia articles. The team aims to learn if adding alt-text to images is a task that editors can be successful with. Please share any feedback on the discussion page.
• The Codex color palette has been updated with new and revised colors for the MediaWiki user interfaces. The most noticeable changes for editors include updates for: dark mode colors for Links and for quiet Buttons (progressive and destructive), visited Link colors for both light and dark modes, and background colors for system-messages in both light and dark modes.
• It is now possible to include clickable wikilinks and external links inside code blocks. This includes links that are used within <syntaxhighlight> tags and on code pages (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto and Sanitized CSS). Uses of template syntax {{…}} are also linked to the template page. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements.
• Two bugs were fixed in the GlobalVanishRequest system by improving the logging and by removing an incorrect placeholder message.
• View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• From Wikimedia Enterprise:
  • The API now enables 5,000 on-demand API requests per month and twice-monthly HTML snapshots freely (gratis and libre). More information on the updates and also improvements to the software development kits (SDK) are explained on the project's blog post. While Wikimedia Enterprise APIs are designed for high-volume commercial reusers, this change enables many more community use-cases to be built on the service too.
  • The Snapshot API (html dumps) have added beta Structured Contents endpoints (blog post on that) as well as released two beta datasets (English and French Wikipedia) from that endpoint to Hugging Face for public use and feedback (blog post on that). These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.

In depth

• The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) is used to get answers to questions using the Wikidata data set. As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the WDQS Graph Split project, we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the "scholarly" and "main" subgraphs of Wikidata. The query.wikidata.org endpoint will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph. For more information, please see the announcement on Wikidata.

Improvements and Maintenance

• Editors interested in templates can help by reading the latest Wishlist focus area, Template recall and discovery, and share your feedback on the talkpage. This input helps the Community Tech team to decide the right technical approach to build. Everyone is also encouraged to continue adding new wishes.
• The new automated Special:NamespaceInfo page helps editors understand which namespaces exist on each wiki, and some details about how they are configured. Thanks to DannyS712 for these improvements.
• References Check is a feature that encourages editors to add a citation when they add a new paragraph to a Wikipedia article. For a short time, the corresponding tag "Edit Check (references) activated" was erroneously being applied to some edits outside of the main namespace. This has been fixed.
• It is now possible for a wiki community to change the order in which a page’s categories are displayed on their wiki. By default, categories are displayed in the order they appear in the wikitext. Now, wikis with a consensus to do so can request a configuration change to display them in alphabetical order.
• Tool authors can now access ToolsDB's public databases from both Quarry and Superset. Those databases have always been accessible to every Toolforge user, but they are now more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account. In addition, Quarry's internal database can now be queried from Quarry itself. This database contains information about all queries that are being run and starred by users in Quarry. This information was already public through the web interface, but you can now query it using SQL. You can read more about that, and 20 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
• Any pages or tools that still use the very old CSS classes mw-message-box need to be updated. These old classes will be removed next week or soon afterwards. Editors can use a global-search to determine what needs to be changed. It is possible to use the newer cdx-message group of classes as a replacement (see the relevant Codex documentation, and an example update), but using locally defined onwiki classes would be best.

Technical project updates

• Next week, all Wikimedia wikis will be read-only for a few minutes. This will start on September 25 at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. This maintenance process also targets other services. The previous switchover took 3 minutes, and the Site Reliability Engineering teams use many tools to make sure that this essential maintenance work happens as quickly as possible.

Tech in depth

• The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes details about: research about hook handlers to help simplify development, research about performance improvements, work to improve the REST API for end-users, and more.
• To learn more about the technology behind the Wikimedia projects, you can now watch sessions from the technology track at Wikimania 2024 on Commons. This week, check out:
  • Hackathon Showcase (45 mins) - 19 short presentations by some of the Hackathon participants, describing some of the projects they worked on, such as automated testing of maintenance scripts, a video-cutting command line tool, and interface improvements for various tools. There are more details and links available in the Phabricator task.
  • Co-Creating a Sustainable Future for the Toolforge Ecosystem (40 mins) - a roundtable discussion for tool-maintainers, users, and supporters of Toolforge about how to make the platform sustainable and how to evaluate the tools available there.

If a group of people perofrm a song together during a baptism, wedding, funeral service or other memory ceremony (like this Q130288582), how should this be classicied as P175? Should I create "funeral attendants of Tager Erlander" or something, since I wouldn't classify them even as a temporary music group.

Good question! Maybe try to make it a little more generic than "funeral attendants of Tager Erlander" to facilitate re-use? "unnamed event attendedants" or something like that, make it a "special purpose" performer?

In Tage Erlander's case, I added Q97326947 if that's OK?

I think that's wrong, it's an occupation, so the translation is probably more "begravningsbyråassistent" than "begravningsgäst"

A person attending a funeral is called a mourner in English: Q17139718 , a group of people is Q16334295 . So a combination of those two?

A mourner can be both a funeral guest and someone who mourns the decrased person. A funeral guest (just google, the word is around in English) is restricted to those attending the funeral.

Meanwhile, I used Q16334295.

sure!
