Hey, it's been much too long since we've last chat with one another! I hope life is treating you well! :-) It's no rush or anything, but I found a strange issue involving an edit filter. Do you mind taking a look when you have a few moments? Thanks - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:28, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-35
editLatest 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
Template authors can now use additional CSS properties, since the CSS sanitizer used by TemplateStyles was updated. For example: width: fit-content;ruby-align; relative units such aslh; and custom strings inlist-style-type. These improvements are a Community Wishlist wish. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]- On large wikis, the default time period to display edits from, within the Special:RecentChanges page, has been changed from 7 days to 1 day. This is part of a performance improvement project. This should have no user-facing impact due to the quantity of edits on these wikis. [11]
- Administrators can now access the Special:BlockedExternalDomains page from the Special:CommunityConfiguration list page. This makes it easier to find. [12]
- Wikimedia Commons videos were not shown in the Videos tab in Google Search. The problem was investigated and reported to Google who have now fixed the issue. [13][14]
- One new wiki has been created: a Wiktionary in Betawi (
wikt:bew:) [15] 
View all 39 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Updates for technical contributors
- Two fields of the recentchanges database table are being removed.
rc_newandrc_typeare being removed in favor ofrc_source. Queries to these older fields will start to fail starting this week and developers should userc_sourceinstead. These older fields were deprecated over 10 years ago and should not be in use. This is part of work to improve the performance and stability of queries to the recentchanges table. [16] - Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
In depth
- The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: support for new languages in MediaWiki and translatewiki; the start of the Language Onboarding and Development project to help support the growth of new and small wikis; updates on research projects; and more.
Meetings and events
- The next Language Community Meeting is happening soon, August 29th at 15:00 UTC. This week's meeting will cover: the Avro keyboard developers from Wikimedia Bangladesh, who were recently awarded a national award for their contributions to this keyboard; and other topics.

central auth
editHello. A couple of days ago, I realised at Special:CentralAuth now there are two numbers of total edits "Total edit count", and "Sum of local edit counts". Whats the difference? —usernamekiran (talk) 18:40, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- apparently, it is not visible for every account. but it is visible here. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:01, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- There's a bug in CentralAuth with global edit counts, and I guess this is a bandage, so to speak. It's interesting that it shows up for MusikBot II! I have asked about that. — MusikAnimal talk 22:14, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks! —usernamekiran (talk) 20:50, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
