Did you know?
Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?
250px
Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff.  This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.
If you enable the Beta Feature for "", you will have a new option.  It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page.  This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.
200px
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.
In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted.  Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.
250px
This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff.  The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator.  You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings.  Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.

**Recent changes**
The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices.  It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools.  The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments.  They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing.  The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January.  Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor.  Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits.  More information will be posted at mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
*The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor.  It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor.  When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs.  You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs".  The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges.  
*Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. 
*The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates.  It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up.  Your wiki can have this service.  Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.

**Let's work together**
The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
*Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors.  If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
*The  block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens.  This makes footnotes easier to read.  You can  request multi-column support for your wiki. 
*If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or  contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation.

**Important: No editing between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June**
.
Hi everyone, sorry for writing in English. This is just to tell you that your wiki will be read-only between 06:00 UTC and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. This means that everyone will be able to read it, but you can’t edit. This is because of a server problem that needs to be fixed. You can see the list of affected wikis on Phabricator.
If you have any questions, feel free to write on my talk page on Meta. /Johan (WMF) (คุย) 19:51, 5 มิถุนายน 2561 (ICT)

**Citations regarding Ginggaew Lorsoongnern?**
Hi! I started an English article on :en:Ginggaew Lorsoongnern, a Thai woman executed in 1979.
Does anyone have access to the archives of the Bangkok Post or other English language newspapers covering this incident? There are a lot of missing details... I couldn't find the name of the victim.
Thanks,

**Consultation on the creation of a separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS**
()
Hi all,
I'm preparing a change in who can edit sitewide CSS/JS pages. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which are executed in the browser of all readers and editors.) Currently all administrators are able to edit these pages, which poses a serious and unnecessary security risk. Soon, a dedicated, smaller user group will take over this task. Your community will be able to decide who belongs in this group, so this should mean very little change for you. You can find out more and provide feedback at the consultation page on Meta. If you are involved in maintaining CSS/JS code, or policymaking around adminship requests, please give it a look!
Thanks!

**New user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS**
()
Hi all!
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.)
A new user group, interface-admin, has been created.
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage).
You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats).
This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).
Thanks!

**Thai numerals **
Hello.
I would like to know why aren't Thai numerals (๑๒๓๔๕๖๗๘๙๐) being used on Thai Wikipedia pages? Farsi and Burmese pages use their language's numerals, so why not Thai?
P.S. 
I do not speak Thai but I love the language.

**Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now**
()
Hi all,
as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin () group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.
Thanks!

**Read-only mode for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October**
Read this message in another language  •  
The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre.  This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.  To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems. 
They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 12 September 2018.
On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.  
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch.  We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future. 
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
*You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at  14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October). 
*If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message.  We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it.  If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal.  Then you should be able to save your edit.  But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
*Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
*There will be code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018.  Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary.  You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.  There will be more notifications about this.  Please share this information with your community. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

**Feedback wanted on mobile web contribution prototype**
Feedback wanted on mobile web contribution prototype
The Readers web team is working on improving the contribution features on the mobile website. The team is working on showing pages that are currently unavailable on mobile. We are starting by designing improvements to the mobile navigation. We want your feedback on the latest navigation prototype.   
Earlier this year, we collected feedback on a previous version of our mobile navigation design in a set of 30 interviews at Wikimania. We worked with the results of the interviews and now have a new version of our prototype.  
We would like your feedback on the latest version! In particular, we are curious for your thoughts on the layout of the mobile navigation as well as on the larger number  of links available. We appreciate any and all comments.
Right now, we’re researching the navigation for the new feature set. We want to focus on making it feel more familiar and useful for contributors than the current mobile menu. We want it to include pages that contributors are likely to navigate to and will find useful. Please visit the project page and try out the demo on your mobile device. Then help answer a few questions about your experience.

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Example of improvements
Hello,
In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.
What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.
For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.
If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or  file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.

**Hello is my article OK i just think its very high importance**
The controversy on English wikipedia fixed and I think its high importance so I autotranslated it, is it OK? E.3 (คุย) 21:29, 17 มกราคม 2562 (ICT)
 Thai language has a different structure than English, so machine translation is not likely to work. If you are referring to the issue in Digital media use and mental health, I find it read more like a research topic (that said, reading like a research may overlap with the "No Original Research" policy and the content could be written in the sister project.
 Although you claimed that there are dispute with the article title (in which your alleged M.D. credential may cause you to believe that the term you coined for the article title is appropriate), the AfD does not really resolve the issue, since it ends with the nominator withdrawal of the request, and the issue in there should still be addressed.
 While I concur that the topic may warrant its own page due to alleged importance, it should be noted here that Thai Wikipedia don't even have the article of the issue the mental health spun off it (Social media addiction), so even though the article is important, there should  have been a primary topic before gearing up for the specific topic like this. --2001:44C8:4444:423E:1:2:E89D:13E7 13:40, 18 มกราคม 2562 (ICT)

**Talk to us about talking**
120px
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:  
# First, sign up your group here.  
# Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group.  This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.  
# Then ask people what they think about communication processes.  We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki.  Please consider asking these five questions:
## When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
## What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
## What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
## What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
## What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
# Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group.  Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.

Hi everyone, a short notice. On  19 March 15:00 UTC your wiki will briefly be in read-only mode. That means that you’ll be able to read it, but not edit. This is because of network maintenance. It will last up to 15 minutes, but probably shorter. You can read more on Phabricator (phab:T217441, phab:T187960), or write on my talk page if you’ve got any questions. /Johan (WMF) (คุย) 21:48, 5 มีนาคม 2562 (ICT)

**Section editing in the visual editor on the mobile site**


The Editing team has been working on two things for people who use the visual editor on the mobile site:- mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Section editing:  It should make it easy to make small changes to long articles.  - a loading overlay:  to tell people that the editor is still loading.  (Sometimes, if the editor is slow to start, then people think it crashed.)  
Some editors here can see these changes now.  Others will see them later.  If you find problems, please leave a note on my talk page, so I can help you contact the team.  Thank you, and happy editing!  Whatamidoing (WMF) (คุย) 11:12, 1 เมษายน 2562 (ICT)

**Read-only mode for up to 30 minutes on 11 April**
You will not be able to edit most Wikimedia wikis for up to 30 minutes on  11 April 05:00 UTC. This is because of a hardware problem. You can still read the wikis. You can see which wikis are affected. The time you can not edit might be shorter than 30 minutes. /Johan (WMF) 17:56, 8 เมษายน 2562 (ICT)

**Mobile visual editor test**
.
Hello all,
The mw:Editing team has been improving the mw:Mobile visual editor.  They would like to test it here. The purpose of the test is to learn which editor is better for new contributors. This is a great opportunity for your wiki to learn the same.  This is an easy test that requires no work from you.  You can read more about it at mw:VisualEditor on mobile/VE mobile default.  
What?  The test compares the mobile visual editor and the mobile wikitext editor, for newer registered editors (

Hello all,
Many language versions of Wikipedia use the content of Wikidata, the centralized knowledge base, to fill out the content of infoboxes. The data is stored in Wikidata and displayed, partially or completely, in the Wikipedia’s language, on the articles.
This feature is used by many template editors, but brought several issues that were raised by communities in various places: not being able to edit the data directly from Wikipedia was one of them.
This is the reason why the Wikidata Bridge project started, with the goal of offering a way to Wikipedia editors to edit Wikidata’s data more easily. This will be achieved by an interface, connected to the infobox, that users can access directly from their local wiki. 
The project is now at an early stage of development. A lot of user research has been done, and will continue to be done through the different phases of the project. The next steps of development will be achieved by the development team working at Wikimedia Deutschland, starting now until the end of 2019.
In order to make sure that we’re building a tool that is answering editors’ needs, we’re using agile methods in our development process. We don’t start with a fixed idea of the tool we want to deliver: we will build it together with the editors, based on feedback loops that we will regularly organize. The first version will not necessarily have all of the features you want, but it will keep evolving.
Here’s the planned timeline:- From June to August, we will build the setup and technical groundwork. - From September to November 2019, we will develop the first version of the feature and publish a test system so you can try it and give feedback. - Later on, we will test the feature on a few projects, in collaboration with the communities. 
** We will first focus on early adopters communities who already implemented a shortcut from their infoboxes to edit Wikidata (for example Russian, Catalan, Basque Wikipedias)
** but we also welcome also communities who volunteer to be part of the first test round. 
** Then we will reach some of the big Wikipedias (French, German, English) in order to see if the project scales and to address their potentially different needs. 
** Even later, we can consider enabling the feature on all the other projects. 
In any case, no deployment or big change will be enforced on the projects without talking to the communities first, and helping the template builders to prepare for the changes they will have to do on the infoboxes’ code.
If you want to get involved, there are several ways to help:- Read and help translating the documentation pages- Follow the updates and participate in the first feedback loop- Talk about it with your local community
More ideas will be added on this page along the way
If you have any questions for the development team, feel free to ask them on the main talk page. You can also ask under this message, but if you expect an answer from me, please make sure to ping me.

**Update on the consultation about office actions**
Hello all, 
Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta. 
This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.
For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.
Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask. 
Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 15:03, 16 สิงหาคม 2562 (+07)

**New tools and IP masking**
Hey everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.
We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.
You can post in your language if you can't write in English.

**The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started**
Hello, 
In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluate or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".
Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October. 
How can you help?- Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);- Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or- Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.
We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

**Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project**
. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects. 
We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups.  So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.  
We would like individual feedback on the following:- Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered- Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know- Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far
We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building. 
When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:- Make it easier for readers to focus on the content- Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)- Put things in logical and useful places- Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps- Eliminate clutter- Plan for future growth
As well as the following constraints:- Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves- Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain- No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors
Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements 
After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.

**Beta feature "Reference Previews"**

A new beta feature will soon be deployed to your wiki: Reference Previews. As you might guess from the name, this feature gives you a preview of references in the article text. That means, you can look up a reference without jumping down to the bottom of the page.
Reference Previews have already been a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia since April. Now they will become available on more wikis. Deployment is planned for October 24. More information can be found on the project page.
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test Reference Previews, please activate the beta feature in your user preferences and let us know what you think. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. We hope the feature will serve you well in your work. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

**Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages**
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.

**Help**
What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else?  Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!  
Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page.  Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project.  The team wants your examples.  These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

**Talk pages project**
The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools.  The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page. 
The team needs and wants your help at this early stage.  They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

**Mobile visual editor**
The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices.  The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

**Edit Cards**
What happens when you click on a link.  The new Edit Card is bigger and has more options for editing links.- On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.- There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links.  There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.- Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.

**Toolbar**
Tell the team what you think about the new toolbar.- In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar.  Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
** One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar.  Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
**New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
**Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.- Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.

**Wikimania**
The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden.  They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project.  They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors.  You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

**Looking ahead**
 Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes.  The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.- Testing the mobile visual editor as the default:  The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.- Measuring the impact of Edit Cards:  This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations.  The Editing team hopes to share results in November.  The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.
