問題

• 防濫用過濾器存在問題導致了太多次編輯。現已修復。 [226]

本周更新

• MediaWiki的新版本將於10月25日部署於測試維基及MediaWiki.org。它將於10月26日部署至非維基百科wiki和部分維基百科，並將於10月27日部署至所有wiki，參見日曆。
• 搜索框中的「搜索」文本將顯示項目名稱。例如在維基百科上會顯示「搜索維基百科」。 [227]
• 12個wiki現已在分類中按數字排序。如果您的wiki希望在分類中按數字排序，您可以請求它。 [228]
• 部分希望在分類中按數字排序的wiki也可請求使用UCA排序分類。最大的不同是帶附加符號的字符會被整理到一起。例如絕大多數語言中Ä會緊跟A排序，而不是在字母最後。但這對於Ä作為其字母表之一字符的語言來說並不正確。使用UCA的wiki現已列舉於元維基。可以使用UCA的語言也已列舉於MediaWiki.org。您可以測試它。

Tech News: 2016-51

最新技術新聞來自維基媒體技術社群。請將這些變化轉告其他用戶。不是所有的變化都將影響您。翻譯亦已提供。

技術新聞

• 因受節日影響，下期技術新聞將於2017年1月9日發布。
• 技術新聞的作者正在徵求您的意見。您在今年獲得了需要的信息麼？在2016年內，我們是否忽略了重要的技術性消息？哪種信息發布太晚了？請告訴我們！您可以使用您的語言撰寫。謝謝！

最近更新

• 管理員和翻譯管理員現在可以在安裝了翻譯擴展的wiki上使用Special:PageLanguage。這意味著您可以指明某頁面使用什麼語言。當您翻譯時，翻譯擴展將使用該語言作為源語言。之前這總是wiki的默認語言，而這基本上是英語。 [266]
• 連接了維基數據的Wiki現在可以使用解析器函數{{#statements: }}獲取格式化數據。您也可以使用{{#property: }}獲取原始數據。您可以查看兩個聲明之間的不同。Lua中也有類似的新功能。 [267]

問題

• 一些用於上傳文件的防濫用過濾器無法像描述那樣工作。我們無法準確得知哪些過濾器不能工作。這意味著過濾器應該阻止上傳的一些文件在wiki上被上傳。MediaWiki.org和測試維基已從10月13日以來受到影響，共享資源和元維基則從10月17日以來受影響，其他wiki也於11月17日受到影響。 [268]

本周更新

• 本周沒有新MediaWiki版本。下周也將不會有新MediaWiki版本。

會議

• 下周可視化編輯器團隊會議將於1月3日 20:00 (UTC)開始。在會議中您可以告知開發人員哪些問題是最重要的。參見如何加入。

將來更新

• 2016年社群願望清單調查已完成。這決定了社群技術團隊將在2017年從事的工作。您可以查看結果。
