Tech News: 2024-15
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/2024/15> are
available.
*Recent changes*
- Web browsers can use tools called extensions
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Browser_extension>. There is now a
Chrome extension called Citation Needed
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Future_Audiences/Experiment:Citation_Needed>
which
you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia
article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this
way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in
English.
- A new Edit Recovery
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit_Recovery>
feature
has been added to all wikis, available as a user preference
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing>.
Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web
browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or
computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text.
Please leave any feedback on the project talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Community_Wishlist_Survey_2023/Edit-recovery_feature>.
This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.
- Initial results of Edit check
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check>
experiments have been published
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check#4_April_2024>.
Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested
it <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T342930#9538364>. Let us know
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Edit_check> if you want your wiki
to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [1]
