Recent changes
- The Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving UploadWizard on Commons, made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work (T347590), as well as to the licensing step for own work (T347756).
- The Design Systems team has released version 1.0.0 of Codex, the new design system for Wikimedia. See the full announcement about the release of Codex 1.0.0.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
- Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [3][4]
- Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [5]
Future changes
- There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
- The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.

JarektBot was misbehaving[edit]
Hi Jarekt, I reverted the edit of your misbehaving bot. How do I get rid of all the wrong infos?. Regards Oursana (talk) 15:06, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oursana, I was using my bot account because I was editing at a fast pace, but those edits from 5 years ago were quite manual. When the file File:Davidis-Teniers - After Raphael.jpg was uploaded 7 yeatrs ago by User:Jane023 it was connected to a wrong wikidata item: Naked Young Woman in Front of the Mirror (Q3766167), based on that some years latter I added digital representation of (P6243). I would use SQL query to capture wikidata items artworks were connected to, create QuickStatements from them and add those to the files. The wrong info was in the file before my edits. We could look at the Jane023 other uploads from that time to see how often did issue happen, but other than that I do not know how to detect other "wrong infos". --Jarekt (talk) 00:51, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you Jarekt, sorry I did not see the starting mistake, I was afraid, your bot was misbehaving. My problem is still to get rid of this wrong Qnumber's info, as deletion was not sufficient to eliminate this Wikidata connection. You certainly can help. Thanks--Oursana (talk) 01:08, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oursana, I cleared the wrong qnumber. --Jarekt (talk) 01:19, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Again thanks and stupid, that I did not realize the impact of these statements. I hope to remember..--Oursana (talk) 01:27, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for all your work on wikidata-Commons synchronization for artworks, Jarekt! This set of images (old scans of 1660s engravings made after paintings or miniature copies by Teniers that were in the Archducal collection at Antwerp in 1650) still needs to be fully indexed, but I still have trouble with the data modelling approach for popular engravings such as these. Especially when not all of the miniatures survive and not even all the originals survive. Jane023 (talk) 10:00, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, my gut feeling is that we shouldn't have multiple copies of engravings on Wikidata, but I guess it depends on the age of the engravings. woodcuts involve more work and have fewer copies than the 1660 set, but 1660 is early enough that I won't merge multiple copies if someone adds them. Jane023 (talk) 14:23, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Jane023, I ran into some engraving modeling issues when working on w:List of woodcuts by Albrecht Dürer some years back. My issues were mostly related to different copies of a single woodcut being in the many museums and different museums having different metadata like year, size, etc. I ended up using one item per woodcut, as opposed to one item per copy. The modeling was tricky at a time. --Jarekt (talk) 13:07, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
