This change should be communicated on wiktionary village pump

Also remember to inform the Meta administrators on this talk page so they can decommission the system of modules that notifies them when the Wiktionary portal template needs to be updated.

Change 786963 had a related patch set uploaded (by Ladsgroup; author: Amir Sarabadani):

[wikimedia/portals@master] Switch wiktionary to the new build

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/786963

Can't say this work or not ^ I don't have npm installed (and won't install it). If I can get it to work with fresh, I'll give it a try.

Tested it locally:

Comparing to the current one:

The languages around the logo don't match that much but it can be due to geo location and other new features the new thing has.

One other thing I couldn't see to work is the search, https://www.wiktionary.org/search-redirect.php?family=Wiktionary&language=en&search=abc&language=en&go=Go goes to Wikipedia

Looking at docroot/wwwportal/w/search-redirect.php the family name needs to be lowercase otherwise it just uses wikipedia.

I think the languages on the upper circle of the portal can be adjusted over time? For example, the Chinese Wiktionary has over 1.2M entries nowadays, which is quite a lot, but it is not on the upper circle of the portal.

The current change doesn't make it worse as it's currently the outdated version but yeah, it needs fixing.

Nuts. Unfortunately I spotted an issue with the wiktionary.org portal before deployment today.

It looks like the URLs that should be pointing to
https://www.wiktionary.org/portal/wiktionary.org/assets/img/Wiktionary-logo-tiles_1x.png
are pointing to
https://en.wiktionary.org/portal/wiktionary.org/assets/img/Wiktionary-logo-tiles_1x.png
(en.wiktionary.org instead of www.wiktionary.org) and causing 404's, at least on our debug servers, so looks like we'll have to verify the apache config before we deploy this.

That would fix it, it'll take half an hour to roll out.

Reminder of this action-item.

Will this be [automatically?] updated soon? I think it would be best to announce this update in Tech News/etc, after this issue is resolved.
(Or, is it already fixed, and I just don't have Zhwikt listed in the circle due to my geo-location etc?)

Trizek-WMF moved this task to Announce in next Tech/News on the User-notice board.

I'm writing an entry in Tech News - Is there a short-term plan for updating the other portals?
I.e. Should I just write

• The www.wiktionary.org portal page has been improved to use an automated update system.

Or can/should I write:

• The www.wiktionary.org portal page has been improved to use an automated update system. Other project portals will be updated over the next few months.

(Any suggested wording tweaks, are appreciated. Drafts always help!)

I made the comment in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Www.wiktionary.org_template and now it's archived.

That's a good question. I'm hoping to get to the rest soon but I don't know how much work it is. It might take a week, might take months but it's in my todo list.

Hello, it is said that the new page is updated automatically.
If so, how are chosen the languages of the Wiktionaries that are displayed at the bottom? For example, if I am not wrong, the Tacawit Wiktionary (shy.wiktionary.org) that has about 3500 entries currently is not listed.

It is the same as the @Quiddity's comment above; I still do not see the Chinese Wiktionary in the top circle.

Hasn't seen Chinese Wiktionary yet.
