The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Storm Filomena was an extratropical cyclone in early January 2021 that was most notable for bringing unusually heavy snowfall to parts of Spain, with Madrid recording its heaviest snowfall in over a century, and with Portugal being hit less severely. The eighth named storm of the 2020–21 European windstorm season, Filomena formed over the Atlantic Ocean close to the Canary Islands on 7 January, subsequently taking a slow track north-eastwards towards the Iberian Peninsula and then eastwards across the Mediterranean Sea.

2024年第49期技术新闻
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
- 本周新增了两个解析器函数。
{{#interwikilink}}用于加入跨维基链接、{{#interlanguagelink}}用于加入跨语言链接。这两个解析器函数可以在命名空间与跨维基前缀相冲突时使用。例如，英语维基百科上以MOS:开头的链接与莫西语维基百科的mos语言代码前缀相冲突。 - 从本周开始，维基媒体维基不再支持使用旧式RSA型HTTPS凭证的连接，具体来说是RSA-2048。此举旨在提高所有使用者的安全性。部分较旧、不受支持的浏览器或智慧型行动装置将无法连接；反之，它们会显示连接错误。详情请参阅HTTPS浏览器建议页面。所有现代作业系统和浏览器始终能够访问维基媒体维基。 [1]
- 12月16日开始，部分维基的结构式讨论页将自动存档并设为唯读模式，这些维基包括：arwiki、cawiki、frwiki、mediawikiwiki、orwiki、wawiki、wawiktionary、wikidatawiki、zhwiki。这是结构式讨论弃用作业的一部分。如果您需要任何协助来预先存档您的讨论页，请联络Trizek (WMF)。 [2]
- 本月，Chart图表扩展已部署至生产环境，目前可在共享资源和测试维基使用。随著安全审查的完成，维基试行部署预计于12月第1周开始。您可以在测试维基查看工作版本，并阅读11月的项目更新了解更多。
- 查看上周解决的共23个社群提交工单。 例如，“下载为PDF”系统的错误现已修复。 [3]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 明年2月下旬，临时帐号将在至少10个大型维基推出。这项部署将对由社群维护的代码产生重大影响，影响包括Toolforge工具、机器人、小工具，以及使用IP位址数据或可供未登录用户使用的用户脚本。信任与安全产品团队希望找出这些代码、监控它们，并在部署前协助更新，以尽量减少对工作流程的干扰。团队恳请技术编辑者和志愿开发者们协助找出此类工具，将它们加入此清单。此外，请查阅更新后的文档，了解如何调整此类工具。欢迎到项目讨论页或维基媒体社群Discord伺服器（英文）的专门讨论区参与讨论，寻求支持并分享意见。
Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-50
The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!
Syrian literature is modern fiction written or orally performed in Arabic by writers from Syria since the independence of the Syrian Arab Republic in 1946. It is part of the historically and geographically wider Arabic literature. The modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel as well as the Palestinian autonomous areas only came into being in the mid-20th century. Therefore, Syrian literature has since been referred to by literary scholarship as the national literature of the Syrian Arab Republic, as well as the works created in Arabic by Syrian writers in the diaspora. This literature has been influenced by the country's political history, the literature of other Arabic-speaking countries and, especially in its early days, by French literature.

Events
- Past: Amical Wikimedia, the Catalan-language and culture focused thematic Wikimedia Organization organized the Celebrem Wikidata (Let's celebrate Wikidata) project to celebrate Wikidata's 12th anniversary, from November 10 - 30. This included a Wikidata introduction workshop to equip participants with the editing skills to tackle the project's main aim. This was presented as a game to delete duplicate info on Wikidata and Catalan Viquipèdia infoboxes, in three areas: protected buildings, officers' positions and data related to sports teams players. At the end of the event, ~200 Wikidata-fed infoboxes and Wikidata items were improved and many Wikipedia editors edited Wikidata for the first time!

2024年第50期技术新闻
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。
本周要闻
- MediaWiki.org文档中心更新，技术文档贡献者现在可由此取得最新资源，并了解与社群及维基媒体技术文件团队的新联系方式。该页面提供以下连结：文档编写与改进资源、libera.chat上的新IRC频道#wikimedia-techdocs、过去和即将举办的文档相关活动清单、请求文档谘询或审查的方法。如果您对文档生态系统有任何想法或改进意见，请联络技术文档团队。
近况更新 - 面向编辑者
- 本周稍晚，桌面版的编辑检查框将移至侧边栏。编辑检查功能旨在协助新手编辑者遵循方针与指引。这项版面调整腾出的空间，让编辑者在输入文字时，能同时看到新的检查项目。初步结果显示，新手在遇到编辑检查框后，成功发布包含参考资料且未被回退的新内容编辑的可能性提高了2.2倍。
- 数据可视化工具——Chart图表扩展已顺利部署至MediaWiki.org和3个试办维基（义大利语、瑞典语、希伯来语维基百科）。您可以在测试维基查看范例，并阅读11月的项目更新了解更多。
- 在提供移动版内容翻译的维基中，翻译者现在可以从条目建议功能中的“所有收藏”分类中探索他们感兴趣的维基专题活动条目。维基专题的活动筹办人员可以使用此功能，透过将
<page-collection> </page-collection>标签加入至元维基上的活动条目列表页面，帮助翻译者探索感兴趣的条目。这将提高这些条目在内容翻译工具中的能见度。关于如何使用该工具和标签的详情，请参阅逐步指南。 [4] - “大量删除”（Nuke）功能现在有了可多选的命名空间筛选。这使得用户在提取要删除的页面时，能够选择多个特定的命名空间，而不是仅选择一个或全部。
- 此外，在待删除页面进入队列后，大量删除功能现在会提供以下连结：遭删除页面的创建者的用户页，以及其未被选择删除的页面。这使得管理员能更容易进行后续管理操作。感谢Chlod和Moderator Tools团队所做的这两项改进。 [5]
- 编辑团队正在努力让自动填入引用产生器——Citoid更容易从archive.org填入引用。团队要求社群在每个使用Citoid的引用模板的TemplateData中预先加入两个参数
archiveUrl和archiveDate。参见模板变更范例，以及所有相关模板的清单。 [6] - 一个新的维基已创建： 印尼语维基导游 (
voy:id:) [7] - 上周，所有维基网站经历了持续30至45分钟的服务中断，无法顺利提供网页给已登录及部分未登录用户。此事件起因于资料库异常，调查仍在进行中。 [8]
查看上周解决的共19个社群提交工单。 例如，添加链接功能的错误现已修复。之前，在某些情况下，从添加链接功能排除的章节清单会被部分忽略。 [9][10]
近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者
- 维基媒体设计系统——Codex现在有一个早期阶段的PHP实现。它可透过Composer在MediaWiki扩展与Toolforge应用程式供一般使用，并即将用于MediaWiki核心。更多详情请参阅文档。感谢Doğu的灵感以及对函式库的诸多贡献。 [11]
- Wikimedia REST API用户，如机器人操作者和工具维护者，可能会受到正在进行的升级更新的影响。12月4日，MediaWiki介面团队著手将测试维基上的页面及修订版本的metadata、渲染后的HTML内容等端点，从RESTbase重编路由至相似的MediaWiki REST API端点。团队鼓励这些端点的活跃用户在测试维基验证其工具的行为，并于年底前将任何疑虑提交至相关的Phabricator工单，团队打算于1月初在所有维基媒体项目实施相同的变更。这是取代过时的RESTBase系统的作业的一部分。
- 邀请维基媒体开发者社群填写2024年开发者满意度调查。如果您在维基媒体生态系统的软体开发中占有一角，请填写此问卷调查。调查开放填写至2025年1月3日，并请参阅相关隐私声明。
- 本周没有MediaWiki的新版本。 [12]
会议与活动
- 维基媒体基金会与维基共享资源社群的讨论系列的下一次会议将于12月12日的8:00 UTC和16:00 UTC举行。本次通话会议的主题是新媒体和新贡献者。欢迎所有维基的贡献者参加。

Please be bold and help translate this article!
The Mars ocean theory states that nearly a third of the surface of Mars was covered by an ocean of liquid water early in the planet's geologic history. This primordial ocean, dubbed Paleo-Ocean or Oceanus Borealis (/oʊˈsiːənəs ˌbɒriˈælɪs/ oh-SEE-ə-nəs BORR-ee-AL-iss), would have filled the basin Vastitas Borealis in the northern hemisphere, a region that lies 4–5 km (2.5–3 miles) below the mean planetary elevation, at a time period of approximately 4.1–3.8 billion years ago. Evidence for this ocean includes geographic features resembling ancient shorelines, and the chemical properties of the Martian soil and atmosphere
