## Rollout of the new audio and video player

<div lang="en" dir="ltr">  
Hello,  
Over the next months we will gradually change the audio and video player of Wikis from Kultura to Video.js and with that, the old player won’t be accessible anymore. The new player has been active as a beta feature since May 2017.  
The new player has many advantages, including better design, consistent look with the rest of our interface, better compatibility with browsers, ability to work on mobile which means our multimedia will be properly accessible on iPhone, better accessibility and many more.  
The old player has been unmaintained for eight years now and is home-brewn (unlike the new player which is a widely used open source project) and uses deprecated and abandoned frameworks such as jQuery UI. Removing the old player’s code also improves performance of the Wikis for anyone visiting any page (by significantly reducing complexity of the dependency graph of our ResourceLoader modules. See this blog post.). The old player has many open bugs that we will be able to close as resolved after this migration.  
The new player will solve a lot of old and outstanding issues but also it will have its own bugs. All important ones have been fixed but there will be some small ones to tackle in the future and after the rollout.  
What we are asking now is to turn on the beta feature for the new player and let us know about any issues.  
You can track the work in T100106  
Thank you, Amir 17:59, 17 பெப்ரவரி 2022 (UTC)

Latest **tech news** from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.  
**Recent changes**
- Special:Nuke will now provide the standard deletion reasons (editable at <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown</bdi>) to use when mass-deleting pages. This was a request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey.
- At Wikipedias, all new accounts now get the Growth features by default when creating an account. Communities are encouraged to update their help resources. Previously, only 80% of new accounts would get the Growth features. A few Wikipedias remain unaffected by this change.
- You can now prevent specific images that are used in a page from appearing in other locations, such as within PagePreviews or Search results. This is done with the markup <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code></code></bdi>. For example, <code></code>.
- There has been a change to the HTML of Special:Contributions, Special:MergeHistory, and History pages, to support the grouping of changes by date in the mobile skin. While unlikely, this may affect gadgets and user scripts. A list of all the HTML changes is on Phabricator.  
**Events**
- Community Wishlist Survey results have been published. The ranking of prioritized proposals is also available.  
**Changes later this week**
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from . It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from . It will be on all wikis from (calendar).  
**Future changes**
- The software to play videos and audio files on pages will change soon on all wikis. The old player will be removed. Some audio players will become wider after this change. The new player has been a beta feature for over four years.
- Toolforge's underlying operating system is being updated. If you maintain any tools there, there are two options for migrating your tools into the new system. There are details, deadlines, and instructions on Wikitech.
- Administrators will soon have the option to delete/undelete the associated "talk" page when they are deleting a given page. An API endpoint with this option will also be available. This was a request from the 2021 Wishlist Survey.

Latest **tech news** from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.  
**Recent changes**
- When searching for edits by change tags, e.g. in page history or user contributions, there is now a dropdown list of possible tags. This was a request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey.
- Mentors using the Growth Mentor dashboard will now see newcomers assigned to them who have made at least one edit, up to 200 edits. Previously, all newcomers assigned to the mentor were visible on the dashboard, even ones without any edit or ones who made hundred of edits. Mentors can still change these values using the filters on their dashboard. Also, the last choice of filters will now be saved.
- The user group <code>oversight</code> was renamed <code>suppress</code>. This is for technical reasons. You may need to update any local references to the old name, e.g. gadgets, links to Special:Listusers, or uses of NUMBERINGROUP.  
**Problems**
- The recent change to the HTML of tracking changes pages caused some problems for screenreaders. This is being fixed.  
**Changes later this week**
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from . It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from . It will be on all wikis from (calendar).  
**Future changes**
- Working with templates will become easier. Several improvements are planned for March 9 on most wikis and on March 16 on English Wikipedia. The improvements include: Bracket matching, syntax highlighting colors, finding and inserting templates, and related visual editor features.
- If you are a template developer or an interface administrator, and you are intentionally overriding or using the default CSS styles of user feedback boxes (the classes: <code dir=ltr>successbox, messagebox, errorbox, warningbox</code>), please note that these classes and associated CSS will soon be removed from MediaWiki core. This is to prevent problems when the same class-names are also used on a wiki. Please let us know by commenting at phab:T300314 if you think you might be affected.

## விக்கிமூலம் - மீடியாவிக்கி ஏபிஐ வழியே நூல் ஒன்றின் பக்கங்களை அறிய இயலுமா?

விக்கிமூலத்தில் 1750 நூல்களுக்கும் அதிகமான படவடிவ நூல்கள் எழுத்து வடிவமாக்கப்பட வேண்டிய நிலையுள்ளது. மேலும், பல அரிய நூல்கள் கூட்டுப்பணியால் மின்னூலாக்கம் செய்யப்பட்டு வருகின்றன. கல்லூரி பரப்புரைகளின் போது, பக்கயெண்ணிக்கை அடிப்படையில் நூற்தொகுப்பினையும் நூல்களைக் கேட்கின்றனர். இதற்கு மீடியாவிக்கி ஏபிஐ உதவும் என நம்புகிறேன். அந்த ஏபிஐ இணைப்பினை, இதில் அனுபவம் உள்ளவர் தருக. தந்தால், உரிய கட்டற்ற மென்பொருள் நிரலரிடம், இதற்குரிய நிரலை எழுதி வாங்க இயலும். நிரலர் ஏபிஐ செயற்படுவதால், தொடர் வளர்ச்சியை விக்கிமூலத்திற்காக அடைய இயலும்.--<font>**த<font color = "red">♥</font>உழவன்**</font><sup><big><font> **(உரை)** </font></big></sup> 05:36, 25 மே 2022 (UTC)
