Tech News: 2024-09
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/2024/09> are
available.
*Recent changes*
- The mobile visual editor
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor_on_mobile>
is
now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group
of wikis. Research
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor_on_mobile/VE_mobile_default#A/B_test_results>shows
that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the
edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted
edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop
will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as
well. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T352127>
- The mw.config
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/ResourceLoader/Core_modules#mw.config>
value wgGlobalGroups now only contains groups that are active in the
wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the
wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is: if
(/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups"))). [2]

*Changes later this week*
- The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/wmf.20> of
MediaWiki will be on test wikis and
MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will
be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be
on all wikis from 29 February (calendar
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/Roadmap>). [3]

*Future changes*
- The right to change edit tags
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Tags> (
changetags) will be removed from users in Wikimedia sites, keeping it by
default for admins and bots only. Your community can ask to retain the old
configuration on your wiki before this change happens. Please
indicate in this
ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T355639> to keep it for your
community before the end of March 2024.
