Subject: [Wikitech-l] BREAKING CHANGE: schema update, xml dumps
To: Wikipedia Xmldatadumps-l <Xmldatadumps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>,
Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
We plan to move to the new schema for xml dumps for the February 1, 2020
run. Update your scripts and apps accordingly!
The new schema contains an entry for each 'slot' of content. This means
that, for example, the commonswiki dump will contain MediaInfo information
as well as the usual wikitext. See
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/core/+/master/docs…
for the schema and
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Schema_update_for_multi…
for further explanation and example outputs.
Phabricator task for the update: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T238972
PLEASE FORWARD to other lists as you deem appropriate. Thanks!
Ariel Glenn

Hi all,
The group from my computer science class is hoping to contribute to enhancing accessibility (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Accessibility_guide_for_developers). Our first thought is to write a script related to checking and updating the alt attribute on images. A few questions:
- Is this valuable to the community?
- Can user created scripts become part of the official code base?
- I don't see any current features related to accessibility, but I'm a n00b. Am I missing something that's already there?
Thanks!
Accessibility guide for developers - MediaWiki<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Accessibility_guide_for_developers>
Accessibility is important for our users and we can improve it if we take into account a few basic ideas and rules. Accessibility is difficult insofar as there are no fixed and universally accepted technical standards that actually work consistently and for all users.
