2025年第22期技術新聞
維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。
本週要聞
- 目前，社群正在元維基上就抽象維基百科開發中的一個棘手議題展開討論：透過維基函數的函數與維基數據的數據開發的抽象內容，應該儲存在何處？討論位於「抽象維基百科/抽象內容的位置」，將持續開放至6月12日，歡迎各位提出各種意見。基金會將於諮詢期結束後做出決定並公布。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 從上週開始，除前20大維基外，所有維基的編輯者皆可在行動版視覺化編輯器中，從新的
+選單下使用更多工具。新選單初步將包含下列選項：參考文獻、象形文字和程式碼區塊。其餘維基預定於6月進行部署。 
#ifexist解析器函數將不再暫存其目標頁面的連結。先前，Special:WantedPages會計入該函數的目標頁面，而無法發揮其真正效用。這項變更將提高Special:WantedPages的實用性，其最終目標為只列出實際的紅色連結所指向的頁面。這項變更會隨著來源頁面的更新而逐漸發生。 [1]- 本週，內容維護工具團隊將推出新的近期變更篩選器，從印尼語維基百科開始。這個新的篩選器會醒目標示可能會被回退的編輯。該篩選器旨在幫助近期變更巡查員識別可能有問題的編輯。該篩選器將於日後部署至其他維基。
- 點擊空白搜尋列後，未登入使用者將會看到延伸閱讀條目建議。這項功能將同時在桌面版與行動版推出。加泰蘭語、希伯來語、義大利語維基百科及部分其他專案的讀者將於5月21日至6月中旬之間獲得這項變更。其他維基的讀者將稍後才會獲得這項變更。這項功能旨在鼓勵使用者多閱讀維基。了解更多。
- Android版維基百科App的部分使用者可以使用一項面向讀者的新功能——WikiGames，以真實歷史事件為基礎的每日小遊戲。該遊戲已開始進行A/B測試，提供給下列語言的50%使用者：中文、英語、法語、葡萄牙語、俄語、西班牙語、阿拉伯語和土耳其語。
- MediaWiki.org的Newsletter擴充功能用於為全域使用者建立各種電子報。現在，該擴充功能發布的新期通知可以連結至既有頁面的特定章節，無需為每一期電子報另建新頁面。 [2]
上週有32件社群提交的工單得到解決。
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 先前在Wiki Replicas中棄用的
ipblocks檢視表將於6月初被移除。建議使用者改用新的block和block_target檢視表。 - 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki

2025年第23期技術新聞
維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。
本週要聞
- Chart擴充功能現在可以在所有維基媒體維基上使用。編輯者可以使用這個新的擴充功能來建立互動式的視覺化資料，例如柱狀圖、折線圖、面積圖和圓餅圖。Chart圖表旨在取代舊版Graph圖表擴充功能的許多用途。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 管理員現在可以更容易地在本地維基中，為視覺化編輯器的引用產生器配置自動引用功能。管理員現在可以在本地的
MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json頁面中，使用 _default鍵來設定預設模板（差異範例）。設定此預設值有助於將來新增項目類型時，確保現有配置不會過時。您仍可以為個別項目類型設定模板，這些模板會優先於預設模板。 [3] - 上週有20件社群提交的工單得到解決。
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 6月2日當週開始，以
action=login或action=clientlogin登入的機器人將更常登入失敗。這是因為我們增強了針對可疑登入行為的防護措施。使用機器人密碼或者使用免登入驗證方法（如OAuth）的機器人不受影響。如果您的機器人並非上句所述類型，請更新您的機器人；使用action=login且沒有機器人密碼的方法已於2016年棄用。這項變更對大多數機器人而言，僅需變更其所使用的密碼即可。 [4] - 本週開始，維基媒體維基將可以使用JavaScript ES2017功能，無論是在MediaWiki內部、小工具或個人腳本中。ES2017的一大特色是讓程式碼更易讀的
async/await語法。本週以前，平台僅允許使用ES2016以下的功能，而數月前，僅允許使用ES2015以下的功能。 [5] - 本週軟體更新細節： MediaWiki
會議與活動
- 2025年館聯維基媒體會議現正開放獎助金申請。會議將於10月30日至11月1日在葡萄牙里斯本舉行。無法負擔參與費用的館聯人可考慮申請獎助金，申請開放至6月7日止。

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。
本週要聞
- 臨時帳號將於本月下半在大型維基百科推出，信任與安全產品團隊正在完成部署所需的最後工作。團隊已與監管員及其他高階權限者合作，預測並應對大型維基上可能出現的各種用例，以利社群成員能繼續有效地管理及巡查臨時帳號。這是三個部署階段中的第二階段，最後階段最早將於9月展開。更多關於專案近期發展的資訊，請參閱更新資訊。如有任何意見或疑問，請在討論頁提出，並參加本週二的CEE Catch Up。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
監視清單效期功能可讓使用者在特定期間內監視指定頁面。期限過後，頁面會自動從監視清單移除。本週開始，您可以設定預設的頁面監視期限。在偏好設定中，您還可以為編輯、建立和回退操作分別設定不同預設監視期限。 [6]
.jpg)
- 幾乎所有維基百科的討論頁外觀將變更為新設計（部分維基已採用新設計，少數將稍後獲得更新）。您可以在Diff閱讀此變更的詳細資訊。使用者可以在偏好設定中選擇停用此變更（「显示讨论活动」）。 [7][8]
- 特定高階權限者（包括管理員、行政員、用戶查核員、監督員、監管員）現在可以在需要對抗高速帳號跳轉的破壞行為時，於有限期間內自動揭示所有臨時帳號的IP位址。此功能為監管員所要求。 [9]
- 本週，內容維護工具團隊和機器學習團隊將繼續推出近期變更的新篩選器，將其部署至更多維基百科。該篩選器利用研究團隊所建立的「回退風險模型」（Revert Risk model），醒目標示可能會被回退的編輯，協助近期變更巡查員識別可能有問題的貢獻。該功能將在以下維基百科推出：南非语维基百科、白俄罗斯语维基百科、孟加拉语维基百科、威尔士语维基百科、夏威夷语维基百科、冰岛语维基百科、哈萨克语维基百科、简单英语维基百科、土耳其语维基百科。未來幾週內，該功能將繼續在本專案涵蓋的其餘維基百科推出。 [10]
