Hi,
we had a great Google Code-in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Code-in contest this year. Of the 28 multimedia-related tasks https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/DYHxaKZei.pe/#R we had, 23 were closed, thanks to three very talented students, Danny (unicodesnowman), Geoffrey (Sn1per) and Mateusz (m4tx). Thanks all for participating and improving MediaWiki, it was a pleasure to work with you! I was continuously impressed by the high quality of the patches.
The full list of improvements/fixes:
- Media Viewer now handles custom attributions (T67445 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T67445) and the {{multiple image}} template (T85354 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85354), displays copy-pastable file names (T76680 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76680), uses the alt text if available (T66519 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66519, T75923 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75923), and some small UX/DX/metrics issues have been fixed (T71233 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71233, T77272 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T77272, T68329 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T68329, T76923 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76923, T75962 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75962).
