2025年第4期技术新闻

最新留言：在9天前发布1条留言1人参与讨论

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。

近况更新 - 面向编辑者

管理员可以用大量删除（Nuke）功能大量删除由特定用户或IP地址建立的页面。先前，该功能只能删除过去30天内建立的页面。现在，针对特定用户或IP地址，该功能可以删除过去90天内建立的页面。 [1]
在启用编辑巡查功能的维基上，当使用回退功能复原未经巡查的页面修订时，系统现在会将其标记为更准确的“手动巡查”，而非“自动巡查”。在最近更改中设有筛选条件的编者可能需要更新。 [2]
上周有31个社群提交的工单得到解决。例如，先前可视化编辑器的“插入链接”功能，当输入时偶尔不会正确显示建议的现有页面，现已修正此问题。

近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者

结构式讨论扩展（又称Flow）正逐步弃用。该扩展未经维护且造成问题。结构式讨论将被讨论工具（DiscussionTools）取代，其用于任何一般讨论页。我们即将联络最后一批维基（加泰罗尼亚语维基语录、芬兰维基媒体协会、果阿孔卡尼语维基百科、卡拜尔语维基百科、葡萄牙语维基教科书、瑞典维基媒体协会）。如果您对弃用流程有任何疑问，请在您的维基上提及（ping）Trizek (WMF)。 [3]
季刊技术社群电子报新期数发布。本期内容包括：来自资料平台工程团队的服务近况更新；来自设计系统团队的Codex资讯更新；等等。
