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期技術新聞
維基媒體技術社群現在發佈最新的技術新聞。請告知其他使用者這些變更；不是所有的變更都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的譯文版本。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 本週新增了兩個解析器函數。
{{#interwikilink}}用於加入跨維基連結、{{#interlanguagelink}}用於加入跨語言連結。這兩個解析器函數可以在命名空間與跨維基前綴相衝突時使用。例如，英語維基百科上以MOS:開頭的連結與莫西語維基百科的mos語言代碼前綴相衝突。 - 從本週開始，維基媒體維基不再支援使用舊式RSA型HTTPS憑證的連線，具體來說是RSA-2048。此舉旨在提高所有使用者的安全性。部分較舊、不受支援的瀏覽器或智能流動裝置將無法連線；反之，它們會顯示連線錯誤。詳情請參閱HTTPS瀏覽器建議頁面。所有現代作業系統和瀏覽器始終能夠存取維基媒體維基。 [1]
- 12月16日開始，部分維基的結構式討論頁將自動存檔並設為唯讀模式，這些維基包括：arwiki、cawiki、frwiki、mediawikiwiki、orwiki、wawiki、wawiktionary、wikidatawiki、zhwiki。這是結構式討論棄用作業的一部分。如果您需要任何協助來預先存檔您的討論頁，請聯絡Trizek (WMF)。 [2]
- 本月，Chart圖表擴充功能已部署至生產環境，目前可在共享資源和測試維基使用。隨着安全審查的完成，維基試行部署預計於12月第1週開始。您可以在測試維基查看工作版本，並閱讀11月的專案更新了解更多。
- 查看上週解決的共23個社群提交工單。 例如，「下載為PDF」系統的錯誤現已修復。 [3]
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 明年2月下旬，臨時帳號將在至少10個大型維基推出。這項部署將對由社群維護的程式碼產生重大影響，影響包括Toolforge工具、機械人、小工具，以及使用IP位址資料或可供未登入使用者使用的使用者腳本。信任與安全產品團隊希望找出這些程式碼、監控它們，並在部署前協助更新，以盡量減少對工作流程的干擾。團隊懇請技術編輯者和志願開發者們協助找出此類工具，將它們加入此清單。此外，請查閱更新後的說明文件，了解如何調整此類工具。歡迎到專案討論頁或維基媒體社群Discord伺服器（英文）的專門討論區參與討論，尋求支援並分享意見。
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.

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期技術新聞
維基媒體技術社群現在發佈最新的技術新聞。請告知其他使用者這些變更；不是所有的變更都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的譯文版本。
本週要聞
- MediaWiki.org文件中心更新，技術文件貢獻者現在可由此取得最新資源，並了解與社群及維基媒體技術文件團隊的新聯繫方式。該頁面提供以下連結：文件編寫與改進資源、libera.chat上的新IRC頻道#wikimedia-techdocs、過去和即將舉辦的文件相關活動清單、請求文件諮詢或審查的方法。如果您對文件生態系統有任何想法或改進意見，請聯絡技術文件團隊。
近況更新 - 面向編輯者
- 本週稍晚，桌面版的編輯檢查框將移至側邊欄。編輯檢查功能旨在協助新手編輯者遵循方針與指引。這項版面調整騰出的空間，讓編輯者在輸入文字時，能同時看到新的檢查項目。初步結果顯示，新手在遇到編輯檢查框後，成功發佈包含參考資料且未被回退的新內容編輯的可能性提高了2.2倍。
- 資料視覺化工具——Chart圖表擴充功能已順利部署至MediaWiki.org和3個試辦維基（意大利語、瑞典語、希伯來語維基百科）。您可以在測試維基查看範例，並閱讀11月的專案更新了解更多。
- 在提供行動版內容翻譯的維基中，翻譯者現在可以從條目建議功能中的「所有收藏」分類中探索他們感興趣的維基專題活動條目。維基專題的活動籌辦人員可以使用此功能，透過將
<page-collection> </page-collection>標籤加入至元維基上的活動條目列表頁面，幫助翻譯者探索感興趣的條目。這將提高這些條目在內容翻譯工具中的能見度。關於如何使用該工具和標籤的詳情，請參閱逐步指南。 [4] - 「大量刪除」（Nuke）功能現在有了可多選的命名空間篩選。這使得使用者在提取要刪除的頁面時，能夠選擇多個特定的命名空間，而不是僅選擇一個或全部。
- 此外，在待刪除頁面進入佇列後，大量刪除功能現在會提供以下連結：遭刪除頁面的建立者的使用者頁面，以及其未被選擇刪除的頁面。這使得管理員能更容易進行後續管理操作。感謝Chlod和Moderator Tools團隊所做的這兩項改進。 [5]
- 編輯團隊正在努力讓自動填入引用產生器——Citoid更容易從archive.org填入引用。團隊要求社群在每個使用Citoid的引用模板的TemplateData中預先加入兩個參數
archiveUrl和archiveDate。參見模板變更範例，以及所有相關模板的清單。 [6] - 一個新的維基已建立： 印尼語維基導遊 (
voy:id:) [7] - 上週，所有維基網站經歷了持續30至45分鐘的服務中斷，無法順利提供網頁給已登入及部分未登入使用者。此事件起因於資料庫異常，調查仍在進行中。 [8]
查看上週解決的共19個社群提交工單。 例如，新增連結功能的錯誤現已修復。之前，在某些情況下，從新增連結功能排除的章節清單會被部分忽略。 [9][10]
近況更新 - 面向技術貢獻者
- 維基媒體設計系統——Codex現在有一個早期階段的PHP實作。它可透過Composer在MediaWiki擴充功能與Toolforge應用程式供一般使用，並即將用於MediaWiki核心。更多詳情請參閱說明文件。感謝Doğu的靈感以及對函式庫的諸多貢獻。 [11]
- Wikimedia REST API使用者，如機械人操作者和工具維護者，可能會受到正在進行的升級更新的影響。12月4日，MediaWiki介面團隊着手將測試維基上的頁面及修訂版本的metadata、渲染後的HTML內容等端點，從RESTbase重編路由至相似的MediaWiki REST API端點。團隊鼓勵這些端點的活躍使用者在測試維基驗證其工具的行為，並於年底前將任何疑慮提交至相關的Phabricator工單，團隊打算於1月初在所有維基媒體專案實施相同的變更。這是取代過時的RESTBase系統的作業的一部分。
- 邀請維基媒體開發者社群填寫2024年開發者滿意度調查。如果您在維基媒體生態系統的軟件開發中佔有一角，請填寫此問卷調查。調查開放填寫至2025年1月3日，並請參閱相關私隱聲明。
- 本週沒有MediaWiki的新版本。 [12]
會議與活動
- 維基媒體基金會與維基共享資源社群的討論系列的下一次會議將於12月12日的8:00 UTC和16:00 UTC舉行。本次通話會議的主題是新媒體和新貢獻者。歡迎所有維基的貢獻者參加。

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

Development
- Wikibase REST API: We prototyped search support for the REST API and would like your feedback on it.
- Property Suggestions: We updated the underlying data so you should have more up-to-date suggestions again when making new statements.
- EntitySchemas: We continued the work on making it possible to search for EntitySchemas by their label and aliases when linking to them in a statement.
- Query Service: We are investigating if we can do something about the issue where not all edgeLabels are shown on a graph visualisation (phab:T381857) and if there are any alternatives to the library used for the graph builder in the Query Service (phab:T381764)
- Under the hood: We are optimizing the server setup for the term store to accommodate its growth (phab:T351802)
