PHP 7 now available and usable in CI
by Legoktm 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Hi! PHP 7.0 is now available and usable in CI. As a small starter, we have added a job that runs "composer test" using PHP 7.0 for all repositories that run some form of MediaWiki or unit tests or composer tests. It's not enabled by default, so you'll need to run "check experimental" on a patch to see if it passes (thought I doubt there will be a lot of issues). You can follow [1] for progress on enabling those jobs by default, and [2] for the next step of running MediaWiki unit tests under PHP 7. Thank you to ops and the CI team for all of their help and work on this :) [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T144961 [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T144962 -- Legoktm

Wikipedia gets Map links and Geoshapes service
by Yuri Astrakhan 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Dear community, this week we enabled <maplink> support on all Wikipedia and sister projects. This means that now an article can have a link to a map, and that map may contain highlighted regions and popups with information. [1],[3] Our next step is to add an informational sidebar to the map, similar to what is being shown on the "geohack" page (map link in the upper right corner of most location articles). Check out proposed screenshots [2] We now also have a geoshapes service. So if Open Street Maps community has defined a region and assigned it a Wikidata ID, you can draw it on the map with that ID. Or you can use Wikidata Query Service (via SPARQL language), to query for those IDs and draw them on the map, coloring them and adding popup information. [3] Geoshapes can also be used for the graphs. [4] [1] Maps docs: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer [2] sidebar prototype: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131907#2616275 [3] US Governors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yurik/maplink#/maplink/0 [4] Graph geoshapes https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Graph:Country_with_regions_and_capi…

Let's say that we had to pick only one of these questions to answer at WikiDev17. Which would you choose? * how do we make manipulating the information on our websites easier and more useful? (both for humans and computers) * how can we better distribute the information on our websites? * how can we help our software development community be more inclusive and productive (and attract many more people)? * how can we improve the quality of our software, and pay down the technical debt we've accumulated over the years? * how can we make our websites better learning environments? * how can we make our websites better support languages other than English (and character sets other than Latin)?
