Templat:FlagIOC sunting
Hello! My solution the Templat:FlagIOC is simple maybe try to do something with the module and maybe use English naming that is not all bad. And also to add a documentation page for the FlagIOC template in your own language with the names code, games, athletes etc. It is not the transcluding which is wrong. See what you can do about that and maybe contact the Indonesian user Medelam for help. Yours sincerely, Sondre 88.88.4.178 14:51, 12 Oktober 2022 (UTC)
Templat:FlagIOC2 sunting
Hello! Is it possible to translate the Template:FlagIOC and FlagIOC2 to your language. Both year and games and all the other fields as well. The flags should be right according to the module. It isn't transcluding which is wrong. I think it is possible to translate the usage section and the documentation page. And also translate code, games and athletes. See to the Indonesian template and see what they have done there. Yours sincerely, Sondre 88.88.4.178 09:40, 16 Oktober 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, it's possible but a bit complicated. I'll look on the Indonesian template. Thanks for reminding and suggestions.- CyberTroopers bincang/sumbangan 15:44, 16 Oktober 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot. This has been a issue for a long time now. I think a bit of the problem that you use the old flag templates Country flag IOC alias and Country IOC alias which is not existent on the English page. I don't think they have Template:Infobox Country Olympics on the English page anymore.

You can switch around the parameters. The module Country alias uses unnamed parameters. You can change the template to use games, code, athletes instead of the English customs. You can change the template that is invoking the module. You use the same modules. You can use Sukan Olimpik Musim Panas 1924 for example or the 1954 Asian Games for Canada and Hong Kong and also the others as well. Yours sincerely, Sondre 88.88.4.178 13:08, 24 Oktober 2022 (UTC)

Recent changes
- A new preference, “Enable limited width mode”, has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also available as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. It allows for increasing the width of the page for logged-out and logged-in users. [28]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 November. It will be on all wikis from 1 December (calendar).
- Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on 29 November at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis) and on 1 December at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis).
- Mathematical formulas shown in SVG image format will no longer have PNG fall-backs for browsers that don't support them. This is part of work to modernise the generation system. Showing only PNG versions was the default option until in February 2018. [29][30][31]
- 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 user. [32]
Future changes
- How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will change early next week 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. There are details on what code to check, how to update the code, and where to report any related problems. [33]

Recent changes
- The Wikisources use a tool called ProofreadPage. ProofreadPage uses OpenSeadragon which is an open source tool. The OpenSeadragon JavaScript API has been significantly re-written to support dynamically loading images. The functionality provided by the older version of the API should still work but it is no longer supported. User scripts and gadgets should migrate over to the newer version of the API. The functionality provided by the newer version of the API is documented on MediaWiki. [34][35]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 December. It will be on all wikis from 8 December (calendar).

Tech News
- Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2023.
Recent changes
- On a user's contributions page, you can filter it for edits with a tag like 'reverted'. Now, you can also filter for all edits that are not tagged like that. This was part of a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [39]
- A new function has been used for gadget developers to add content underneath the title on article pages. This is considered a stable API that should work across all skins. Documentation is available. [40]
- One of our test wikis is now being served from a new infrastructure powered by Kubernetes (read more). More Wikis will switch to this new infrastructure in early 2023. Please test and let us know of any issues. [41]
Problems
- Last week, all wikis had no edit access for 9 minutes. This was caused by a database problem. [42]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
- The word "Balas" is very short in some languages, such as Arabic ("ردّ"). This makes the Alat perbincangan button on talk pages difficult to use. An arrow icon will be added to those languages. This will only be visible to editors who have the Beta Feature turned on. [43] [44]
Future changes
- Edits can be automatically "tagged" by the system software or the Pengurusan penapis salah guna system. Those tags link to a help page about the tags. Soon they will also link to Recent Changes to let you see other edits tagged this way. This was a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [45]
- The Trust & Safety tools team have shared new plans for building the Private Incident Reporting System. The system will make it easier for editors to ask for help if they are harassed or abused.
- Realtime Preview for Wikitext is coming out of beta as an enabled feature for every user of the 2010 Wikitext editor in the week of January 9, 2023. It will be available to use via the toolbar in the 2010 Wikitext editor. The feature was the 4th most popular wish of the Community Wishlist Survey 2021.
Events
- You can now register for the Wikimedia Hackathon 2023, taking place on May 19–21 in Athens, Greece. You can also apply for a scholarship until January 14th.
