Problems

  • A problem with the color of the talkpage tabs always showing as blue, even for non-existent pages which should have been red, affecting the Vector 2022 skin, has been fixed.

Future changes

  • The Trust and Safety Product team wants to introduce temporary accounts with as little disruption to tools and workflows as possible. Volunteer developers, including gadget and user-script maintainers, are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. The team has created documentation explaining how to do the update. Learn more.

Tech News survey

Recent changes

  • Advanced item Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both Gerrit and GitLab, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the Migration status page.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
  • Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
  • Editors who have access to The Wikipedia Library can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation contacted them to restore access. You can read more about this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week.

Changes later this week

Future changes

  • Advanced item Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the temporary accounts feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page. [1]
  • Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.

Happy First Edit Day!

[edit]

July 2024

[edit]

Information icon Hi Vestrian24Bio! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Trailblazer101 (talk) 18:31, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JSON coding

[edit]

Hi! I have a JSON coding from XTools which is supposed to generate a table; Is there any possible way to add the coding to wikitext. I currently have the coding here. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 15:04, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can write a lua module (if this is only for you, put it in <module name> sub spage of Module:Sandbox/Vestrian24Bio/). Use a Sribunto JSON function to get the data from JSON into a Lua table (mw.loadJsonData(), mw.text.jsonDecode()). Use the html library functions to create an html table from the Lua table.

Created a module here; but it prints this error message... Can someone please help me fix it. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A modified module here; but same error message... Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:22, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Trappist the monk after your change; the JSON you added appears; but, how do I add a custom JSON do I have to change it in the module directly??? Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 18:14, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is why I added the comment: IRL this could be replaced or the real JSON could be kept in this module's doc page. Were it me, I would put the JSON in the ~/doc page or perhaps a subpage of the module (with nothing else) and then have the module fetch the content of the your chosen page. Of course, the simpler way is to just put your 'real' JSON in the module in place of the test JSON.
—Trappist the monk (talk) 18:23, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 18:25, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One other possibility, you might could leave the JSON where it is and wrap it with the invoke so that the JSON is the first positional parameter:
{{#invoke:Sandbox/Vestrian24Bio/JSON table 2|jsonToHtmlTable|<JSON goes here>|}} – the extra trailing pipe may not be needed; I didn't test for that condition
Then change the module to fetch jsonTable from the frame:
local jsonTable = mw.text.jsonDecode (frame.args[1]);
—Trappist the monk (talk) 18:38, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
tried now; but gives an error Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 18:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because frame is out of scope there. If we are going to continue this conversation it would probably be better to have it on your talk page.
—Trappist the monk (talk) 18:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the discussion to my talk page now. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 18:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
