I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of you just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing project] noting your general perception about the idea.

You can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Learning Clinic %E2%80%93 Understanding and Navigating Conflict in Wikimedia Projects (Part_1)\|register now]] to attend. * [[File:Octicons-sync.svg\|12px\|link=\|alt=\|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.38/wmf.22\|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg\|2022-02-15\|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg\|2022-02-16\|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg\|2022-02-17\|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.38/Roadmap\|calendar]]). * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Hackathon 2025\|2025 Wikimedia Hackathon]], which brings the global technical community together to connect, brainstorm, and hack existing projects, will take place from May 2 to 4th, 2025, at Istanbul, Turkey. * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg\|15px\|link=\|Advanced item]] In the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter\|AbuseFilter]] extension, the <code dir=ltr>rmspecials()</code> function has been updated so that it does not remove the "space" character. Wikis are advised to wrap all the uses of <code dir=ltr>rmspecials()</code> with <code dir=ltr>rmwhitespace()</code> wherever necessary to keep filters' behavior unchanged. You can use the search function on [[Special:AbuseFilter]] to locate its usage.

'''~~Recent~~Weekly ~~changes~~highlight''' * The Wikimedia Foundation has shared the latest draft update to their [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026\|annual plan]] for next year (July 2025–June 2026). This includes an [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026\|executive summary]] (also on [[diffblog:2025/04/25/sharing-the-wikimedia-foundations-2025-2026-draft-annual-plan/\|Diff]]), details about the three main [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals\|goals]] ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Product & Technology OKRs\|Infrastructure]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals/Volunteer Support\|Volunteer Support]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Goals/Effectiveness\|Effectiveness]]), [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Global Trends\|global trends]], and the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Budget Overview\|budget]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Financial Model\|financial model]]. Feedback and questions are welcome on the [[m:Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026\|talk page]] until the end of May. * [[Special:Nuke\|Special:Nuke]] will now provide the standard deletion reasons (editable at <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown]]</bdi>) to use when mass-deleting pages. This was [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Admins and patrollers/Mass-delete to offer drop-down of standard reasons, or templated reasons.\|a request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T25020] * At Wikipedias, all new accounts now get the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature_summary\|Growth features]] by default when creating an account. Communities are encouraged to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Account_creation\|update their help resources]]. Previously, only 80% of new accounts would get the Growth features. A few Wikipedias remain unaffected by this change. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T301820] * You can now prevent specific images that are used in a page from appearing in other locations, such as within PagePreviews or Search results. This is done with the markup <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>class=notpageimage</nowiki></code></bdi>. For example, <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.png\|class=notpageimage]]</nowiki></code>. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T301588] * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg\|15px\|link=\|alt=\|Advanced item]] There has been a change to the HTML of Special:Contributions, Special:MergeHistory, and History pages, to support the grouping of changes by date in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Minerva_Neue\|the mobile skin]]. While unlikely, this may affect gadgets and user scripts. A [[phab:T298638\|list of all the HTML changes]] is on Phabricator. '''~~Events~~Updates for editors''' * For wikis that have the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status\|CampaignEvents extension enabled]], two new feature improvements have been released: * [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Results\|Community Wishlist Survey results]] have been published. The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Updates/2022 results#leaderboard\|ranking of prioritized proposals]] is also available. Admins can now choose which namespaces are permitted for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration\|Event Registration]] via [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration\|Community Configuration]] ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Permitted namespaces\|documentation]]). The default setup is for event registration to be permitted in the Event namespace, but other namespaces (such as the project namespace or WikiProject namespace) can now be added. With this change, communities like WikiProjects can now more easily use Event Registration for their collaborative activities. Editors can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Transclusion\|transclude]] the Collaboration List on a wiki page ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration list/Transclusion\|documentation]]). The Collaboration List is an automated list of events and WikiProjects on the wikis, accessed via {{#special:AllEvents}} ([[w:en:Special:AllEvents\|example]]). Now, the Collaboration List can be added to all sorts of wiki pages, such as: a wiki mainpage, a WikiProject page, an affiliate page, an event page, or even a user page. * [[File:Octicons-sync.svg\|12px\|link=\|class=skin-invert\|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:27}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:27\|task\|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks\|resolved last week]]. '''~~Changes~~Updates ~~later~~for ~~this~~technical ~~week~~contributors''' * Developers who use the <code dir=ltr>moment</code> library in gadgets and user scripts should revise their code to use alternatives like the <code dir=ltr>Intl</code> library or the new <code dir=ltr>mediawiki.DateFormatter</code> library. The <code dir=ltr>moment</code> library has been deprecated and will begin to log messages in the developer console. You can see a global search for current uses, and [[phab:T392532\|ask related questions in this Phabricator task]]. * [[File:Octicons-sync.svg\|12px\|link=\|alt=\|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.38/wmf.23\|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg\|2022-02-22\|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg\|2022-02-23\|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg\|2022-02-24\|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.38/Roadmap\|calendar]]). * Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikidata term store tables (<code dir=ltr style="white-space: nowrap;">wbt_</code>) need to update their code to connect to a separate database cluster. These tables are being split into a separate database cluster. Tools that query those tables via the wiki replicas must be adapted to connect to the new cluster instead. [[wikitech:News/2025 Wikidata term store database split\|Documentation and related links are available]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390954] [[File:Octicons-sync.svg\|12px\|link=\|class=skin-invert\|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.44/wmf.28\|MediaWiki]] '''~~Future~~In ~~changes~~depth''' * The latest [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates\|Chart Project newsletter]] is available. It includes updates on preparing to expand the deployment to additional wikis as soon as this week (starting May 6) and scaling up over the following weeks, plus exploring filtering and transforming source data. * The software to play videos and audio files on pages will change soon on all wikis. The old player will be removed. Some audio players will become wider after this change. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:TimedMediaHandler/VideoJS_Player\|The new player]] has been a beta feature for over four years. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100106][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T248418] * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg\|15px\|link=\|alt=\|Advanced item]] Toolforge's underlying operating system is being updated. If you maintain any tools there, there are two options for migrating your tools into the new system. There are [[wikitech:News/Toolforge Stretch deprecation\|details, deadlines, and instructions]] on Wikitech. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/cloud-announce@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EPJFISC52T7OOEFH5YYMZNL57O4VGSPR/] * Administrators will soon have [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2021/(Un)delete associated talk page\|the option to delete/undelete]] the associated "talk" page when they are deleting a given page. An API endpoint with this option will also be available. This was [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Admins and patrollers/(Un)delete associated talk page\|a request from the 2021 Wishlist Survey]].
