Wikidata weekly summary #239[rediger kildetekst]
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of User:Coyau. He was a very active editor on Wikidata and the other Wikimedia projects. He will be deeply missed by his friends and family but his great work on open culture will stay. Feel free to browse and share his work. Thanks Guillaume for this message.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- Users who have Yahoo email addresses could not use Special:EmailUser to send emails. This has now been fixed. Emails will now come from a @wikimedia.org address. Users who get an email from you will still reply to your email address and be able to see it. [1]
- You can now see how many categories and pages there are in the categories in Special:TrackingCategories. This is to help you find pages that could need attention. [2]
- Markup colours for reviewed and pending revisions in the page history and recent changes and logs now match Wikimedia standard colours. The "You have a new message on your talk page" notification will have a slightly different colour. [3]
Problems
- Because of work on cross-wiki watchlists global renaming is not working. The plan is to turn it on again on 16 December. Global renaming was turned off for a while in late November and early December as well. [4]
Changes this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 December. It will be on all wikis from 15 December (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on December 13 at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Nysgerrighed[rediger kildetekst]
Hej Palnatoke. Jeg har et lidt ligegyldigt spørgsmål, men jeg har undret mig over dette siden jeg startede på Wikipedia. Hvad står forkortelsen SDBS for ifht. sletning (i.e WP:SDBS? Jeg går ud fra at SD står for SletningsDiskussion, men hvad står BS for? God jul! Mvh. InsaneHacker (💬) 15. dec 2016, 14:41 (CET)
- Det må stå et sted i historikken, men "sider der bør slettes". --Palnatoke (diskussion) 15. dec 2016, 14:44 (CET)
- I see. Jeg prøvede at se i historikken af WP:SDBS, men kunne ikke finde det :) Mvh. InsaneHacker (💬) 15. dec 2016, 14:48 (CET)
Wiki Chat[rediger kildetekst]
Kommer du ikke snart på Wikichatten? - Det kunne være hyggeligt at have dig på! :-) --SimmeD (diskussion, bidrag) 12. dec 2016, 15:47 (CET)
- @SimmeD: Jeg har været der, og jeg ser ikke irc-kanalen som specielt nyttig. Tværtimod ser jeg en risiko for at den bruges til at underminere Wikipedias åbenhed. --Palnatoke (diskussion) 19. dec 2016, 00:18 (CET)
- Det er da også bare i orden. Hvis du får lyst, er du mere end velkommen ;-) --SimmeD (diskussion, bidrag) 19. dec 2016, 00:20 (CET)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Tech News
- Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2017.
- The writers of the technical newsletter are asking for your opinion. Did you get the information you wanted this year? Did we miss important technical news in 2016? What kind of information was too late? Please tell us! You can write in your language. Thank you!
Recent changes
- Administrators and translation administrators can now use Special:PageLanguage on wikis with the Translate extension. This means you can say what language a page is in. The Translate extension will use that language as the source language when you translate. Previously this was always the wiki's default language. This was usually English. [5]
Wikis connected to Wikidata can now use the parser function {{#statements: }}to get formatted data. You can also use{{#property: }}to get raw data. You can see the difference between the two statements. There are also similar new functions in Lua. [6]
Problems
- Some abuse filters for uploaded files have not worked as they should. We don't know exactly which filters didn't work yet. This means some files that filters should have prevented from being uploaded were uploaded to the wikis. MediaWiki.org and Testwiki have been affected since 13 October. Commons and Meta have been affected since 17 October. Other wikis have been affected since 17 November. [7]
Changes this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either.
Meetings
- The next meeting with the VisualEditor team will be on 3 January at 20:00 (UTC). During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. See how to join.
Future changes
- The 2016 Community Wishlist Survey is done. It decides what the Community Tech team will work on during 2017. You can see the results.
