Growth チームのニュースレター第26号をお届けします! 翻訳をお手伝いください
おすすめ編集が1百万件に[編集]
おすすめ編集は4月後半に、1百万件のマイルストーン(里程)に達しました。
- おすすめ編集機能(別名「新規参加者のタスク」)により初学者の活動は最大12%の伸びを見せ、定着率の向上に結びついています。(情報源)
- おすすめ編集機能は、編集初学者が活動開始から2週間に始めた編集の完了率を引き上げ、また差し戻し率は比較的、低くなりました(情報源)。
- このおすすめ編集機能は、ウィキペディアの全言語版に展開済みです。
- リンクの追加や画像の追加はおすすめ編集のうち、まだすべてのウィキに導入していないのですが、構造化したタスクとして、新規参加者が最初の編集を完成させる可能性を高めるものと期待されます。(source)。
肯定的な動機づけモジュール[編集]
肯定的な動機づけは新規参加者が私たちのホームページを訪れたとき、編集を続ける役に立つGrowth 機能です。
- 2022年12月に新しい影響度モジュールを Growth 先行ウィキに展開済みで、さらにウィキ10件への展開を準備しています。 [1]
- レベルアップ機能を先行ウィキ(パイロットウィキ)に展開しました。
- 個別の賞賛機能は5月24日に先行ウィキに導入しました。導入先の指導役(メンター)は毎週「賞賛に値する」初学者がいると通知を受け取るようになります。メンターは通知設定の構成をしたり、通知を無効にしたりできます。
画像の追加[編集]
- 見出しごとに「画像を追加」するタスク応用形を作成中です。提案が適切かどうか試験をしたところで、この新タスク開発は今のところ順調です。 [2]
その他の更新[編集]
- リンクを追加機能は段階的により多くのウィキに展開中です。 [3]
- 「感謝」ボタンを「最近の編集」「ウォッチリスト」「特別:投稿記録」に追加してから感謝機能の使用率を各ウィキで調べました。このボタンのあるページを増やしたせいで感謝が増えたかどうか、実証できませんでした。
- 2023年コミュニティ要望調査に関してコードレビューを支援、「利用者ページが編集されたら通知を受け取る」という提案が一覧に載りました。 [4]
- コミュニティ主催のイベントにも出席し、Growthチームのコミュニティ主催イベント報告にまとめを述べました。
Growthチームの次の課題は?[編集]
- Growth チームの年次計画案は概要を公開し、提案としてコミュニティとの協議を始めています。皆さんもぜひ、これらアイデアに感想やご指摘をお寄せください。

Growth チームのニュースレター第27号をお届けします! 翻訳をお手伝いください
Growthチームの年次計画[編集]
2023年7月 - 2024年6月期の当チームの年次計画を公開しました。
年度最初のプロジェクトとしてCommunity configuration 2.0(コミュニティ設定)に着手、拡張権限を預かる編集者がオンウィキの重要な機能を透過的に簡単に設定できるようにします。
このコミュニティ設定機能 2.0 が完了したら、以下のプロジェクトのいずれか1件の受け入れができるよう望んでいます。
- 記事作成:このプロジェクトの趣旨は、新人編集者を対象に記事の新規立項に関してガイダンスとガードレールを改善すること、それによって新規ページの査読をする人たちの負担を軽減したいと意図しています。
- 編集以外の参加※:このプロジェクトでは読者がウィキペディアに参加できるようにしつつ、リスクを下げた方法の創出を扱い、その趣旨は読者をウィキメディア運動に貢献する方向へ導くためです。("※"=Non-editing participation)
これらのプロジェクトに関するご意見はそれぞれのトークページに投稿するか、Growthチーム年次計画のトークページにお寄せください。
おすすめ編集[編集]
新規に見出し単位で「画像を追加」する構造化タスクを早期導入ウィキに展開しました。(アラビア語版、ベンガル語版、チェコ語版、スペイン語版。) このタスクの上位にウィキペディアを横断する構造化データのプロジェクトがありました。編集実態の巡回を続けつつ、コミュニティからのフィードバックをお待ちしています。
おすすめ編集は新規機能のLanguage-Agnostic Topic Classificationを経由し、話題の予測ができるようになりました。影響範囲は英語版以外のウィキペディア群です。新規参加者に対して、より多様なタスクをおすすめできるようになる予定です。以前は、この機能を試験運用し、主題の選択は英語版ウィキペディアに基づいていました。改変は徐々に進行させ、おすすめする主題の一覧が空になるたびに補充します。調査研究チームは2、3ヵ月後に影響評価を行う予定です。 [5]
8月1日付で「リンクを追加」機能を展開するウィキがあります:ジョージア語版ウィキペディア、カラカルパク語版ウィキペディア、カビル語版ウィキペディア、カバルド語版ウィキペディア、カビエ語版ウィキペディア、キクユ語版ウィキペディア、カザフ語版ウィキペディア、クメール語版ウィキペディア、カンナダ語版ウィキペディア、カシミール語版ウィキペディア、ケルン語版ウィキペディア、クルド語版ウィキペディア、コーンウォール語版ウィキペディア、コーンウォール語版ウィキペディア。
メンター制度(指導役)[編集]
Growth チームは新規参加者向けメンターシップ制度確立に役立つ専用の機能を提供します。すべての新人にボランティアのメンターが付き、励ましたり質問に答えたりします。コミュニティの皆さんはこちらのページを開いてメンター制度を導入するか、ご自身でメンターになってみませんか。それぞれのコミュニティに合わせて調節するには、設定をご参照ください。
メンター制度を導入したコミュニティが増えました。財団のデータ専門家により、この制度の影響分析を実施する計画です。対象はスペイン語版と英語版のウィキペディアの予定です[6]。
またウィキマニア2023(シンガポール)に出講、Mentoring new editors on Wikipedia(ウィキペディアで新規参加者のメンターをするには)というセッションを行います。ワークショップ形式ですので、現状の制度をどう改善するか、参加者の皆さんもブレーンストームで発言願います。
肯定的な動機づけ[編集]
肯定的な強化プロジェクトの3要素すべてを主題に、間もなく完全版に近い実験の分析を共有できる予定です。現時点で新しい機能の影響モジュール、レベルアップ、個別の賞賛の3件はまだ当チームの初期導入ウィキ(パイロット)A/Bテスト中です。
この期間には、個別の賞賛の目立った指標プロジェクト初期案を公表しました。まだサンプルとしては小さいのですが、結果は健全に見えます。メンターは実際に通知を受け取っている点、順にクリックして賞賛したくなる相手がいるか閲覧している点が読み取れます。
Growth、IP 編集の移入を補う[編集]
当 Growth チームでは現在、IP 編集:個人情報保護強化と悪用の軽減に集中しています。これはウィキメディア財団の様々な部署、チームに波及するプロジェクトです。当チームでは、次の重点2点を主眼に暫定アカウントに焦点を当てる予定です。
- ユーザ体験のうち、ログアウトした利用者を暫定のアカウントに転送する。
- Growth が管理する拡張機能と機能を改変、暫定アカウントでも予測された作業をさせる。 [7]
Community Configuration 2.0[編集]
コミュニティ設計 2.0プロジェクト※は以下のとおり、まだ計画検討の初期段階を進んでいます。(※=Community Configuration 2.0 project)
- コミュニティから寄せられたフィードバックと並行して、ウィキメディ財団内部のチームからニーズを募っています。 [8]
- 設計改善に関して、詳細の検討に取り掛かりました。 [9]
- その他の製品が採用する類似のツールについても評価中です。 [10]

Growth チームのニュースレター第28号をお届けします! 翻訳をお手伝いください
Community configuration 2.0[編集]
- Community Configuration 2.0 is a feature that will enable Wikimedia communities to easily customize and configure features to meet their unique needs. This approach provides non-technical moderators with more independence and control over enabling/disabling and customizing features for their communities.
- Technical approach and associated tasks are detailed in this Epic task on Phabricator.
- Initial designs are drafted for two different approaches (see images). We will soon demo interactive prototypes to interested admins, stewards, and experienced editors (T346109). Please let us know if you have feedback on the design approach, or want to participate in prototype testing.
IP Masking[編集]
- The Growth team has been working on several updates to ensure Growth maintained features will be compatible with future IP Masking changes. This work has included code changes to: Recent Changes (T343322), Echo notifications (T333531), the Thanks extension (T345679) and Mentorship (T341390).
- Before December, the Growth team will initiate community discussions with the goal of migrating communities from Flow to DiscussionTools. This move aims to minimize the necessity for additional engineering work to make Flow compatible with IP Masking. (T346108)
メンター制度[編集]
- We assembled some resources for mentors at Mediawiki wiki. This resource page is translatable and will be linked from the mentor dashboard.
- We are working to resolve a bug related to mentors properly returning after being marked as "Away". (T347024)
- Half of newcomers at English Wikipedia get a mentor assigned to them. To ensure every newcomer receives mentorship, we need additional volunteer mentors at English Wikipedia to achieve a 100% coverage rate. We also encourage experienced users from other wikis to help newcomers at their own community.
Scaling Growth features[編集]
- We continue the deployment of the structured task "add a link" to all Wikipedias. We plan to scale the task to all Wikipedias that have link suggestions available by the end of 2023.
- We plan to scale the new Impact Module to all Wikipedias soon, but first we are investigating a bug with the job that refreshes the Impact Module data. (T344428)
- At some wikis, newcomers have access to the "add an image" structured task. This task suggests images that may be relevant to add to unillustrated articles. Newcomers at these wikis can now add images to unillustrated articles sections. (T345940) The wikis that have this task are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table.
その他のニュース[編集]
- We disabled the “add an image” task temporarily (T345188) because there was a failure in the image suggestions pipeline (T345141). This is now fixed.
- You can read a report about the Growth team’s representation at Wikimania in Singapore here. Growth team members presented two sessions at Wikimania Singapore.
After a 2.5 years-long collaboration with Bangala Wikipedia, we have decided to start a collaboration with another wiki. Swahili Wikipedia is now a pilot wiki for Growth experiments.

Growth team newsletter #29[編集]
Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
Community Conversations[編集]
The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.
This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.
Impact Module[編集]
At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [11]
Add a Link[編集]
We released “add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [12] [13]
We have a few Wikipedias remaining:
- German and English Wikipedia will be contacted at the beginning of January 2024.
- There are a few small wikis that will not receive the task until they have enough articles for the algorithm to work properly.
Community Configuration[編集]
- We shared Community Configuration 2.0 plans with technical stakeholders. [14] 🖂
- Initial Community Configuration design ideas have been shared and discussed with community members.
- A basic Community Configuration 2.0 demo is released on ToolForge.
- Developers can find some initial proof of concept code shared on gitlab.
Mentorship[編集]
When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [15]
We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [16]
We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [17]
It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [18]

Growth News, April 2024[編集]
The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.
If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.
Community Configuration[編集]
Growth features are currently configurable at Special:EditGrowthConfig
. This quarter we are working on making Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.
An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.
In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.
Experiment Results[編集]
Add a Image experiment analysis results
The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:
- The likelihood that mobile web newcomers make their first article edit (+17.0% over baseline)
- The likelihood that they are retained as newcomers (+24.3% over baseline)
- The number of edits they make during their first two weeks on the wiki (+21.8% over baseline)
- A lower probability of the newcomers' edits will be reverted (-3.3% over baseline).
Personalized praise experiment results
This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. (T361763)
English donors encouraged to try editing
As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation (example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. (T352900)
Future work[編集]
Annual Plan
The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. (T361657)
Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module
We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

Welcome to the 600th Wikidata Weekly Summary![編集]
- Welcome to the 600th Weekly Summary!
Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ --Mohammed
- Item #600 Ichiro Suzuki; Property #600 is Wine AppDB ID; and Lexeme #600 is the Japanese conjugation だから
- 600 in the multiverse: as a year (another year), a number, a category, a track gauge, a jet, an asteroid, an auto race, a genetic element, a death, a birth, a TV serie, a car, a galaxy, a sport discipline, a radio telescope, an engine, a polygon, a film, a GPU, a photolithography, and many more…
- Timeline of places when they had a population of exactly 600
- Map of things at an altitude of 600 m
- List of items with an external ID equal to 600
- Wikidata was 600 days old on Wednesday 11 June 2014. It will be 600 weeks old on Monday 9 August 2027
- WikidataCon happened over the weekend
- Birthday wishes from the community, and a special note from the Wikidata development team at Wikimedia Deutschland below:
Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉
Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all.
And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me.

- We have implemented the endpoints for PATCH /entities/items/{item_id}/aliases (phab:T337371), PATCH /entities/properties/{property_id}/aliases (phab:T342982) and PATCH /entities/properties/{property_id}/labels (phab:T342980)

- Language codes:
- We made Special:NewLexeme more likely to guess the spelling variant for you by changing the Property we use to get the language code. Now you will see the spelling variant input pop up less often. (phab:T349652)
- We started work towards allowing many more languages by default for Wikibase Lexeme and monolingual text statements. This will remove the need for a lot of requests for new language codes to be added. (phab:T341409)
- Query Service UI: We’ve fixed a small issue in the Query Service UI that was introduced when updating CSS variables. Content of selected cells in the query result should be readable again. (phab:T350153)

- Tool of the week
- Cersei - is a tool designed for importing or scraping data from various third-party sources, using source-specific Python code. It can use a "headless browser" to scrape complicated websites that rely on eg JavaScript to navigate. It can therefore access data sources that can not be accessed via eg Mix'n'match. The data from sources can be updated regularly, either for everything, or just changed entries (if the source has a "recent changes" equivalent).
- Wikidata:Zotero/Cita - is a Wikidata addon for Zotero that adds citations (i.e., what other items an item cites) metadata support to this open source reference management software, using cites work (P2860) information available from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data.

Wikidata weekly summary #611[編集]
Discussions
- New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)
- Upcoming: The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 17th January 2024 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group. The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the development team presents what they have been working on over the past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss important issues related to the development of Wikidata and Wikibase.

- MediaViewer経由で画像を表示した際、ブラウザバックを行うと直前に表示していたWikiページに戻るようになりました。この機能は、2023年コミュニティ要望調査の投票で65位でした。 [19]
- SyntaxHighlight 拡張機能は、言語の選択肢として
wikitext
(ウィキ構文)をサポートしました。旧来ウィキ構文の強調表示の代用として使われていたhtml5
、moin
、html+handlebars
を置き換えることができます。 [20] - 新規ページまたは節にテキストをプリロードするとき、翻訳済みの MediaWiki インタフェース メッセージを読み込むことが可能になりました。一例として チェコ語版ウィキペディア では
preload=MediaWiki:July
を使っています。 [21]
問題点
- Graph Extensionの更新: 財団の開発者は、視覚化ソフトウェアをVega5にアップグレードしました。コミュニティが使用する既存のVega2準拠のグラフとは互換性ありません。ローカルのグラフやテンプレート、luaモジュールを更新する必要があります。Vegaの移行ガイドではVega2からの移行に関する最も包括的な詳細を説明しています。移行の例も参考にしてください。現在、Vega5 はテスト環境を提供する目的から、mediawiki.orgで既に有効化されています。 [22]

- MediaWiki system messages will now look for available local fallbacks, instead of always using the default fallback defined by software. This means wikis no longer need to override each language on the fallback chain separately. For example, English Wikipedia doesn't have to create
en-ca
anden-gb
subpages with a transclusion of the base pages anymore. This makes it easier to maintain local overrides. [69] -
action=growthsetmentorstatus
APIは新しいMediaWikiのバージョンから非推奨になります。このAPIを呼び出しているBotやスクリプトはaction=growthmanagementorlist
APIを使用する必要があります。 [70]

- CHAPTCHA の改善が行われ、ボットやスクリプトによるスパムを回避しやすくなりました。この変更に関するフィードバックがある場合はタスクへのコメントをお願いします。スタッフは CAPTCHA に関するメトリクスのみならず、アカウント作成や編集回数などの副次的なメトリクスのモニタリングも行っています。
今週の更新
- 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは1月30日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは1月31日に、その他のウィキには2月1日に展開されます(工程表はこちら)。 [173][174]

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
- The mobile visual editor is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis. Research shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as well. [198]
- The mw.config value
wgGlobalGroups
now only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is:if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups")))
. [199]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be on all wikis from 29 February (calendar). [200][201]
Future changes
- The right to change edit tags (
changetags
) will be removed from users in Wikimedia sites, keeping it by default for admins and bots only. Your community can ask to retain the old configuration on your wiki before this change happens. Please indicate in this ticket to keep it for your community before the end of March 2024.

- ガジェットはインターフェース管理者がCSSとJavaScriptを使用してカスタム機能を作成できるようにするものです。
Gadget
およびGadget_definition
名前空間と利用者権限gadgets-definition-edit
は、2015年に実験的に予約名として登録されましたが、実際に使用されることはありませんでした。これは Special:Search と Special:ListGroupRights で見ることができます。未使用の名前空間と権限はこのたび削除されます。ページの移動は行われず、変更は必要ありません。 [203] - Wikipediaの「引用」ワークフローが改善しました。挿入ボタンがポップアップのヘッダー部分へと移動されました。 [204]
今週の更新
- 新しいバージョンのMediaWikiソフトウェアが稼働します。テストウィキとMediaWiki.orgは3月5日に、ウィキペディア以外のプロジェクトと一部のウィキペディアは3月6日に、その他のウィキには3月7日に展開されます(工程表はこちら)。 [205][206]

- Minervaの選択リンク色が変更され、他のプラットフォームとの一貫性が向上します。 [211]
- Structured data on Commons will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost. [212]

最近の更新
- ウェブブラウザには拡張機能と呼ばれるツールを使用することができます。Citation Neededと呼ばれるChrome拡張機能があります。これを使用することでウィキペディアの記事がオンライン上の意見を支持しているかどうかを確認することができます。これはウィキペディアをこのような方法で検証できるかどうかの小規模な実験です。小規模な実験を目的としているため、拡張機能はChrome用の英語版しかありません。
- すべてのウィキに編集の復旧機能が追加されました。個人設定から有効にすることができます。機能を有効にしていた場合、編集内容がウェブブラウザに保存され、編集画面を誤って閉じたり、ブラウザやコンピュータがクラッシュした際に、未保存のテキストを復旧するよう促されます。この機能についてプロジェクトのトークページにフィードバックをお願いします。この機能は2023年のコミュニティ要望調査で8番目に挙がっていた項目でした。

Tech News: 2024-16[編集]
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "差し戻し済み" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [237][238]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [239][240]
- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [241]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_age
will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [242]
Future changes
- Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
- Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the
abuse_filter
andabuse_filter_history
tables. Some queries might need to be updated. [243]

Please be bold and help translate this article! Bhagavata Mela is a classical Indian dance that is performed in Tamil Nadu, particularly the Thanjavur area. It is choreographed as an annual Vaishnavism tradition in Melattur and nearby regions, and celebrated as a dance-drama performance art.
