 | Es gibt Dinge, über die ich nicht mehr diskutieren möchte:
Zu meiner Vorgehensweise: Best practice (deutsch). Und es sei erwähnt, dass ich gleichartige und eher langweilige Änderungen mit einem Bot erledige. So manche in den Augen des Betrachters sinnlose Änderung einfacher Natur wird automatisch irgendwann wieder rückgängig gemacht, sinnvoll erscheinende oder immer wieder durch Dritte aus meiner Sicht eher unwichtige Änderungen werden von mir im Bot aufgenommen, so dass alle meine Bilder davon profitieren. |

Tech News: 2026-13
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- Wikimedia site users can now log in without a password using passkeys. This is a secure method supported by fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN. With this change, all users who opt for passwordless login will find it easier, faster, and more secure to log in to their accounts using any device. The new passkey login option currently appears as an autofill suggestion in the username field. An additional "Log in with passkey" button will soon be available for users who have already registered a passkey. This update will improve security and user experience. The screen recording demonstrates the passwordless login process step by step.
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday, 25 March 2026 at 15:00 UTC. This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, which happen twice a year. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies.
Updates for editors
- Wikimedia site users can now export their notifications older than 5 years using a new Toolforge tool. This will ensure that users retain their important notifications and avoid them being lost based on the planned change to delete notifications older than 5 years, as previously announced.
- Wikipedia editors in Indonesian, Thai, Turkish, and Simple English now have access to Special:PersonalDashboard. This is an early version of an experience that introduces newer editors to patrolling workflows, making it easier for them to move from making edits to participating in more advanced moderation work on their project.
- The Special:Block now has two minor interface changes. Administrators can now easily perform indefinite blocks through a dedicated radio button in the expiry section. Also, choosing an indefinite expiry provides a different set of common reasons to select from, which can be changed at: MediaWiki:Ipbreason-indef-dropdown.
- Mobile editors at several wikis can now see an improved logged-out edit warning, thanks to the recent updates from the Growth team. These changes released last week are part of ongoing efforts and tests to enhance account creation experience on mobile and then increase participation.
View all 36 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the bug that prevented mobile web users from seeing the block information when affected by multiple blocks has been fixed. They can now see messages of all the blocks currently affecting them when they access Wikipedia.
Updates for technical contributors
- Images built using Toolforge will soon get the upgraded buildpacks version, bringing support for newer language versions and other upstream improvements and fixes. If you use Toolforge Build Service, review the recent cloud-announce email and update your build configuration as necessary to ensure your tools are compatible.
- The API Portal documentation wiki will shut down in June 2026. API keys created on the API Portal will continue to work normally. api.wikimedia.org endpoints will be deprecated gradually starting in July 2026. Documentation on the API Portal is moving to mediawiki.org. Learn more on the project page.
- Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
In depth
- WMDE Technical Wishes is considering improvements to automatically generated reference names in VisualEditor. Please check out the proposed solutions and participate in the request for comment.

Tech News: 2026-14
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- The Beta version of Abstract Wikipedia a new Wikimedia project which is language-independent, was launched last week. The project allows communities to build Wikipedia articles in their native language, which can be readily accessed by other users in their own languages. The wiki is powered by instructions from Wikifunctions and also based on structured content from Wikidata. Read more.
Updates for editors
- The Growth team is running an A/B test to evaluate a clearer, more user-friendly message that promotes account creation on wikis. Currently when logged-out mobile users begin editing, they see a jarring warning message that can feel abrupt and discouraging. This also presents temporary account editing as the default rather than encouraging account creation. The test is running on ten Wikipedias, including Arabic, French, Spanish and German. Read more.
- The Wikimedia Apps team is inviting feedback on how editing should work on the Wikipedia mobile apps. The discussion focuses on improving how users access editing tools when they tap "Edit". This is part of a broader effort to convert readers who develop an interest in editing, to access a more user-friendly pathway to start contributing.
- View all 45 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where citation fetching from the large newspaper archive Newspapers.com was no longer working, due to a block in Citoid requests, has now been fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
- Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

User:XRay/Templates/Notes/Common/Howto
While I appreciate that you're trying to give readers some information on photography, having this template appear on all of the file pages for your photos is causing some problems with search - all of the text is indexed, causing your photos to all appear as results for searches like "long exposure" or "limbic system", even though the photos are not related to those keywords.
Would you mind adding class="navigation-not-searchable" to the information boxes you use on your file pages? This will exclude the text of those elements from MediaWiki search. Omphalographer (talk) 23:24, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- I wasn't familiar with that CSS class. It seems like a good idea to me. Thanks for the tip. I'll add it. BTW: Not all of my pages include these notes—only about a third. That doesn't help with the minor indexing issue. -- XRay 💬 04:32, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
- Done. :-) -- XRay 💬 04:37, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Sunrises by year has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you! |

Why? Pleaes see what this tag says and what given category actually contains. Any text can be inscribed and depicted on images in this category. None of the images in this category contains text "Epitaphs" in particular, as claimed in this header template. ~2026-95803-6 (talk) 07:49, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- Dear Unknown, the category is assigned to the text categories (for example text with 8 letters), and the suffix also matches the text categories. However, the content does not necessarily fit the category. -- XRay 💬 08:00, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- I understand this template is appropriate in some other categories with the same suffix, e.g. in Category:Hello (text) where images truely depict text "Hello". In case of Category:Epitaphs (text) however the "(text)" suffix is there for regular disambigution purpose, meaning this category is for epitaphs that are (inscribed) texts, and not for different kinds of epitaphs that are sculptural works. See also category description in category header. The content in this category fits this description as far as I can see. Disambigution text in brackets probably can be something else, too. But then again I doubt that "text" is really reserved only for {{Text cat}} categories, and you should still always check what the category actually contains before adding any such template. ~2026-95803-6 (talk) 08:37, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- I realize there are some inconsistencies. But removing the template {{Text cat}} won't solve the problem. Content, descriptions, templates, and categories should be kept separate to resolve the issue properly. Feel free to do that. -- XRay 💬 08:44, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- What unresolved problem there will be if template is removed? As said, this category never was meant for images depicting eight-letter word "Epitaphs", and regular disambiguation in brackets alone doesn't indicate that category should be used for this specific purpose. No such images that you say this category should be used for even exist. This is about common sense at the end. ~2026-95803-6 (talk) 09:49, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- Perhaps I should start with a personal note: I really don’t like replying to anonymous users. I never know if the message—which takes some effort on my part—will actually reach them. As for the inconsistencies, let’s consider two things:
- According to the categorization, Category Category:Epitaphs is an “Inscription”, meaning it’s already a text. At the same time, it is also a sculpture. That doesn’t quite fit. According to Wikidata epitaph (Q13578361), it is a tomb, i.e., a sculpture.
- Category Category:Epitaphs (text) is, according to the naming scheme and categorization, a text in the English language: Category:Images by English text. It is not just any text, but specifically “Epitaphs.” Hence the categorization in Category:Text with 8 letters. The Wikidata mapping epitaph (Q1772), on the other hand, refers to the actual text of the epitaph.
- So what should be done? The Wikidata entries, category names, and categorization must be clearly separated into sculpture and text (inscription). The category Category:Epitaphs (text) is reserved for photos containing the text “Epitaphs.” If none exist, it is superfluous. Unfortunately, I’m not particularly skilled in English, but I would split it into Category:Epitaphs and Category:Epitaph inscriptions (which fits with Category:Inscriptions by dedication). The categorization would then need to be adjusted accordingly. -- XRay 💬 14:15, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-15
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- The CampaignEvents extension now includes a new group goal-setting feature, enabling organizers to set and track event goals such as the number of articles created and participating contributors in real time. Similarly, participants can work toward shared targets and see their collective impact as the event unfolds. The feature is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Learn more in the documentation.
The new watchlist labels feature (announced in Tech News 2026-07) is now available via VisualEditor, the source editor, and the 'watchstar' (or watch link, for skins that don't have a star icon). Previously it was only possible to assign labels via EditWatchlist. In all three places it is a new field following the expiry field.- View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue where talk pages on mobile with Parsoid are unusable after empty section headers, has now been fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
- The sub-referencing feature, which lets editors add details to an existing reference without duplicating it, will be gradually rolled out to more wikis later this year. Wikis using the Reference Tooltips gadget are encouraged to update their version (typically at MediaWiki:Gadget-ReferenceTooltips.js as shown here) to ensure compatibility. Other reference-related gadgets may also be affected.
- All Wikinews editions will be closed and switched to read-only mode on 4 May 2026. Content will remain accessible, but no new edits or articles can be added. This closure was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation following extended discussions. Read more.
- The Action API has had several formats for requested output. One of them,
format=php, is being removed soon. Please ensure your scripts or bots use the JSON format. This removal should affect very few scripts and bots. - The Special:NamespaceInfo page now includes namespace aliases. For example "WP" for the "Project" ("Wikipedia") namespace on the German Wikipedia.
- Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
