There are were a few that still need replacing from a glance at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7800756#sitelinks-wikipedia
I've fixed them now. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

@Soda Hi! Thank you for adding this to Tech News. We've tweaked the wording slightly, and added a reference link for the docs that are linked in the Description above.

The only core aspect that I immediately notice is missing from your notes above, is which wikis have access to the <translate> system (mw.o and meta).
For Wikitech: I think it's totally reasonable for SRE/infra/etc docs to not be translated/able (for a variety of reasons), and arguably it's reasonable for some of the other stuff that is there.
But for anything with a non-English-only-audience, it really ought to live on meta or mw.o. (Or, we ought to enable/configure that extension on wikitech, which is T100313 (and has good notes on the complexities therein))

(With IANAD (I am not a dev) disclaimer)
I think we're ok to completely ignore test-items on beta-cluster, unless they're actually going to cause problems. E.g. here are many of the automated tests at enwiki-beta: https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?userExpLevel=newcomer&hidenewpages=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&hidelog=1&hidenewuserlog=1&limit=50&days=7&enhanced=1&title=Special:RecentChanges&urlversion=2 and AFAIK those don't get deleted.
I think that is similar to what you are discussing here? Perhaps check with James or Elena.

Thanks, both! I'm a bit hesitant about such a broad announcement, given that the meta-wiki version won't immediately be open to widespread testing, and the meeting will presumably only be in English. I wonder if a more targeted message to specific pages/mailinglists/etc might be preferable?

2 comments about the icon:

• I agree with Iniquity's comment and proposed alternative-icon above at T319449#8405057 - I think re-using the "full-screen" icon is non-optimal and potentially confusing.
• I wonder if the icon could have an opaque background, so that if it does overlap with other content (perhaps due to someone using User.css to further adjust the widths), then that content doesn't show through from behind. E.g. Because of my condensed-whitespace user.css, I see this:
  

Draft tweaked heavily. I've used:

On some wikis that use flagged revisions, a new checkbox will be added to Special:Contributions that enables you to see only the pending changes by a particular user. [1]

@Daimona Good questions! My thoughts/questions:
It was mentioned in Tech/News/2022/45 3 weeks ago as being on the testwikis.
We do try to keep entries limited to those that are of interest to a very large number of readers/projects. (Rough inclusion criteria here)
We do also informally try to avoid too many repetitions of news about a specific thing. 1 or 2 is ideal, limiting any more to only major new changes.

@matmarex Re: Tech News - What wording would you suggest as the content, and When should it be included? Thanks! (I believe this is related to the prior announcement in "Future changes" but I'm not sure how exactly.)

Draft Tech News entry, please suggest any amendments/improvements:

On some wikis that use flagged revisions, a new checkbox will be added to Special:Contributions that enables you to see only the pending changes by a particular user. Here is a screenshot. [ 1 ]

@Tacsipacsi Thank you! I've made a paste of the 44 at P40224. We can link that in the Tech News entry, if desired (& if accurate).
(44 because ptwiki isn't included in flaggedrevs.dblist. Possibly this means it ought to be removed from that InitialiseSettings instance?)
P.s. there's a less browser-intensive (plaintext) version at https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt :-)

@Urbanecm Thanks for the context, appreciated! In the future Tech News entry, is there something useful we can link to?
E.g. An onwiki copy of that image, or other documentation for this new feature? and a list of which exact wikis will be affected?
(At minimum, if we just have the Phab link when this entry goes out, then it would be good to put the screenshot at the top of the task-Description, so that it's the first thing people see here and they can deduce the rest from the Tech News entry text.)

@ppelberg Appreciated!
I should note that an editor was confused by the initial language we drafted above, so after discussion on the talkpage they helped to clarify the final version that was sent. :-)

This issue of "UI elements move the block I'm typing in" has frustrated me before, too. The warnings can be helpful, especially in long blocks of text, but the way they appear/disappear can cause problems with mis-clicking on the $tvar variables and Discard changes button, as well as the Publish button.
I think either of the proposed changes/solutions in the Description would be great.

Sounds good, I agree that centralizing it all would be best. Thanks!
I've marked the existing FAQ content for translation (including leaving the localizable parameters like center available for translation (not tvar'd), which I'm relatively sure I've gotten correct).

Added to next week's Tech News in the "Future changes" section. Please edit within ~22 hours if any tweaks are needed.

Added to next week's Tech News with the explanation

"There will be a new link to directly Manage TemplateData from the output that is shown on Template pages."

It will be frozen for translation in ~24 hours, so please edit directly if tweaks are needed. (P.s. Suggested wording is always appreciated, when tagging a task with User-notice !)

@IKhitron For (1), I think the existing image in that page, and the link within the text to Help:Badges, might be enough? If not, then it's probably best to re-ask on the talkpage there.
For (2) I've asked at the talkpage if it's ready.

@Arlolra Makes sense, thanks!

@Ladsgroup Quick reply to a few details, with Enwiki examples:

• 23px = flags (e.g. main, and additional) - Also: documentation on that size (so unlikely to be happily changed)
• 20px and 40px = Seem to be highly used for most small and large icons in templates, e.g. {{expand section}}, and {{ambox}}

I checked the Codex Docs site, and current Enwiki (with vector-2022) and both now work as I expected (in Linux). I.e. Ctrl+Arrows jump from between word-breaks, Ctrl+Shift+Arrows selects words, and Home/End keys jump to the start/end of the text. Thanks!

We're encountering this again, with Tech News. (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2022/45). Notes:

• Usually, clicking Translate this page will send us to the (previously described) "Recent Additions" group.
• Sometimes, it starts to load the correct page, but shows the (previously described) error Invalid value for parameter mcgroup
• Sometimes, especially after a purge (?), it will successfully show the interface, but if we click a text-chunk then in the Suggestions sidebar it shows Failed to load translation aids: Title does not correspond to a translatable message
• I also notice now (after many reloads and purges) that it is not showing the <languages/> bar on the page itself. But if I reload the tab, it reappears.
  • In case this is relevant, I opened the HTML and I see that the mw-pt-languages div isn't included. (I don't know if any of the green text is relevant, but it was right there, so I included it)

• Finally, after ~45 mins, it appears to be working smoothly again.

Now added to Tech News in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2022/45 (after some direct discussion with @ifried about wording and links). I'll mark it as "ready for translation" in ~4 hours, so tweaks are welcome before then. :)

I've discussed with Arlo. Summary:
The current plan is a Tech News entry in the week of Nov 14, in the "Future changes" section. (Followup to the 2021 entry)
The related next steps of deployment will happen the following week (group1), and 1 or 2 weeks later (group2).
Before then, I will attempt some tweaks/clarifications to the FAQ page and mark it for translation.
The draft Tech News entry is (currently, tweaks welcome):

How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will soon change at group1 wikis (but not Wikimedia Commons or Meta-Wiki). This change improves the accessibility of content, and makes it easier to write related CSS. You may need to update your site-CSS, or userscripts and gadgets, if they depend on either the CSS class "image" or the media option |class=. There are details on what code to check, how to update the code, and where to report any related problems.

Re: Tech News - I've bumped the entry to the following week's edition (to be sent on November 7), in case that gives more time for clarity / documentation / etc.
In particular, it would be great to have a link to some translatable onwiki documentation. Please edit that entry, or let me know, if such becomes available. (Or if that isn't feasible / done in time, maybe just adding some screenshots in the Description above, would be sufficient for many non-English-readers to understand the general workflow? But onwiki docs would be best!)

p.s. I accidentally made a "channel" instead of a "group" at first. I've left it, but I was hesitant to click the "stop and block bot" button, So the bot is now alone in a channel with the prior ID (1001734683643). Remove it if you can!

Hey! For Tech News, What wording would you suggest as the content? and When should it be included? (what week, and what section - "Recent Changes" or "Later this week" - I believe it's for this week, and within "Later this week" i.e. riding the train?)
I'd imagine something like:

• In {{#special:RecentChanges}}, you can now hide the log entries for new user creations with the filter for "{{int:rcfilters-filter-newuserlogactions-label}}"

Thanks!

@Jdforrester-WMF Regarding the legal texts, does this mean that the mobile version will only have the link https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ CC BY-SA 3.0 without any supporting text?

I'm also puzzled by the different legal texts (for the same view) between desktop and mobile web. If something (shorter!) is valid for mobile web why isn't that the case for desktop? Just a thought, happy to trust the legal team on this one :)

That seems good to me! Thanks.
What about the timing? (cf. #2 in T312309#8323341 above)

I helped 2 people with this bug, just now. Adding ?action=purge solved it in both cases. I'm just noting here/now in case there's anything in recent logs that helps with diagnosis. The pages were one and two.

Hi. Re: Tech News (User-notice) - What wording would you suggest as the content? and When should it be included? Thanks!
