Hi,

The latest technical newsletter is now available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2016/09%3E. Thanks to Benoît (Trizek) for writing the issue this week, as I was unavailable. Below is the English version.

You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you can add it to the next newsletter at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next%3E.

More information on how to contribute is available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute%3E. You can also contact me directly.

As always, feedback (on- or off-list) is appreciated and encouraged.

Latest *tech news https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News* from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2016/09 are available.

*Recent changes*

- Thanks to the Graph extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph and Pageview API https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/PageviewAPI, we now have {{Graph:PageViews}} https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/template:Graph:PageViews templates that can show pageviews for any wiki page for any of the wikis. See the examples https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Pageview_stats_tool#Graph_extension . - The Capiunto https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Capiunto extension is installed on test wiki https://test.wikipedia.org/. Capiunto provides flexible infobox functionality for Scribunto https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto and generates HTML for infobox features such as headers and rows. It is designed for clean and modern infoboxes that are driven by data from Wikidata, easily usable across different language versions, and easily extensible. - The visual editor now follows the TemplateData format setting announced in November. When you edit or add a use of a template, the wikitext will be laid out in one of the two ways. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111674[2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T104599 - The order of parameters and format defined in a template's TemplateData will be now respected. [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T104599[4] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111674

*Changes this week*

- On wikis where the visual editor is available in single edit tab mode, red links may open the visual editor instead of the wikitext editor, depending on user preferences. [5] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T55441 - Anonymous editor warning is now displayed as a warningbox for consistency in both the visual editor and the wikitext editor. [6] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T127403 - Parsoid https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid has been updated to fit some HTML 5 specifications. [7] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108134

*Meetings*

- Resigning executive director Lila Tretikov is taking questions at Knowledge Engine FAQ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_Engine/FAQ regarding the much talked about project. [8] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2016-February/082470.html - [image: Octicons-sync.svg] You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 March at 20:00 (UTC) http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=20&min=00&sec=0&day=01&month=03&year=2016.
