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/2023/37 are available.

*Recent changes*

- ORES https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/ORES, the revision evaluation service, is now using a new open-source infrastructure on all wikis except for English Wikipedia and Wikidata. These two will follow this week. If you notice any unusual results from the Recent Changes filters that are related to ORES (for example, "Contribution quality predictions" and "User intent predictions"), please report them https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Machine_Learning. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T342115 - When you are logged in on one Wikimedia wiki and visit a different Wikimedia wiki, the system tries to log you in there automatically. This has been unreliable for a long time. You can now visit the login page to make the system try extra hard. If you feel that made logging in better or worse than it used to be, your feedback is appreciated. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326281

*Changes later this week*

- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.41/wmf.26 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 September. It will be on all wikis from 14 September (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.41/Roadmap). - The Technical Decision-Making Forum Retrospective https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Technical_decision_making team invites anyone involved in the technical field of Wikimedia projects to signup to and join one of their listening sessions https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_decision_making/Listening_Sessions on 13 September. Another date will be scheduled later. The goal is to improve the technical decision-making processes. - As part of the changes for the Better diff handling of paragraph splits https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2022/Better_diff_handling_of_paragraph_splits wishlist proposal, the inline switch widget in diff pages is being rolled out this week to all wikis. The inline switch will allow viewers to toggle between a unified inline or two-column diff wikitext format. [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T336716

*Future changes*

- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 20 September. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server_switch More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [4] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T345263 - The Enterprise API is launching a new feature called "breaking news http://breakingnews-beta.enterprise.wikimedia.com/". Currently in BETA, this attempts to identify likely "newsworthy" topics as they are currently being written about in any Wikipedia. Your help is requested to improve the accuracy of its detection model, especially on smaller language editions, by recommending templates or identifiable editing patterns.
