Another way to circumvent the bot
Could you look at Special:Undelete/File:Bnelite.pdf, Special:Undelete/File:Untitledhassn.pdf and Special:Undelete/File:Unhahatitled.pdf? These PDFs contain embedded data, most likely Flash videos. Strangely, the bot has not found anything in the first two. --jdx Re: 06:26, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

- Is this PDF encrypted? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 17:25, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

- They should get tagged by the pdfminer middleware --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 22:56, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- There is no flood of such files, so let's see what future brings. Even if not tagged by the bot, these files are rather easy to catch thanks to Abuse Filter's rule #166 because of their unusually big size. IMO easier way would be to set up an AF's rule which would just reject huge PDFs (let's say bigger than 200 MiB) uploaded from fresh accounts (let's say 2 hours old). BTW, another one: Special:Undelete/File:Untitled,j.pdf. This one has been tagged by the bot. --jdx Re: 05:53, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- Some pages, edits and users disappeared for a short while after the server switch. Missing content and users was fixed within a day. Some preferences and other things might take a few more days to fix. [1]
- Wikis are updated with new and updated translations from translatewiki.net again. This will happen once a week. The developers are working on fixing the problem so we can have translation updates more often again. [2]
Changes later this week
- When you create an abuse filter that prevents edits you can now write a specific error message for it. Before this all abuse filters that prevented edits had the same error message. [3]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 October. It will be on all wikis from 18 October (calendar).
Meetings
- There will be no more meetings with the Editing team. This is because not enough Wikimedians were interested. To tell developers which bugs you think are the most important you can use Phabricator as normal. [4]
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 17 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Der Bot hat deswegen das Size auf der Flickr-Quelle nicht gefunden, erstens habe ich das Bild gedreht und zweitens etwas weggeschnitten damit die Fresken genau mittig sind.--Ricardalovesmonuments (talk) 07:50, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
- I don't speak German (and Google Translation doesn't seem to make sense). The file looks ARR on Flickr. @Steinsplitter: Could you explain to them? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:29, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Nein ich habe das Bild nicht auf Flickr veröffentlicht, sondern wie @Zhuyifei1999 erwähnte Theuerkauf.--Ricardalovesmonuments (talk) 16:55, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
- In dem Fall kann nur Herr Theuerkauf selbst eine freie Lizenz vergeben, und du hättest das hier gar nicht erst hochladen dürfen – gedreht oder nicht. "Frei herunterladbar" ohne ausdrückliche Lizenz heisst eben nicht, dass alle damit machen dürfen, was sie wollen, sondern es erlaubt höchstens den Privatgebrauch solcher Bilder. Ich habe die Datei hier daher gelöscht. @Zhuyifei1999: I deleted the file as a copyvio. De728631 (talk) 21:56, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

- The wikis now have a content security policy report. This means that you might get a warning in your javascript console when you load external resources in your user scripts. For security reasons it is recommended that you don't do this. It might not be possible to load external resources in your scripts in the future. [5]

Page Module talk:User:Zhuyifei1999/sandbox is in the Category:Pages with script errors. Occasionally I try to clean up that category (as most entries have something to do with my edits to Lua Modules) and I always check that page. I have no idea why it is a Pages with script errors, do you? Maybe we can either fix the errors or remove something so it does not show. --Jarekt (talk) 12:56, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Looking at the JS
mw.config.get('ScribuntoErrors')
it shows<p>Script error: The function \"ISOdate\" does not exist.</p><p>No further details are available.</p>
. No idea why the red "script error" message doesn't show like usual. I blanked the page. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 14:47, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Recent changes
- You can now use TemplateWizard to edit templates. This works only with the 2010 wikitext editor and not in the visual editor or the 2017 wikitext editor. If you click on you can enter the information in a pop-up. You can turn on TemplateWizard in your beta feature preferences. [9]
Changes later this week
- You can choose to see edit conflicts in a two-column view. This is a beta feature. You can find it in your preferences. The interface for the two-column edit conflict will change. You can read more.
- When you edit with the visual editor you can use the "Automatic" citation tab. This helps you generate citations. You will now be able to write plain text citations or the title of a journal article or a book in this tab. This will search the Crossref and WorldCat databases and add the top result. [10]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 November. It will be on all wikis from 8 November (calendar).

Recent changes
- Some old mobile browsers can use the watchlist again. This has not worked for a while. These browsers are called grade C browsers. This helps for example Windows Phone 8.1 with Internet Explorer and Lumia 535 with Windows 10. [11]
Problems

Future changes
- You can use the content translation tool to translate articles. The developers are working on a new version. One of the changes will be a maintenance category. Articles where users add a lot of text from machine translation without changing it will be in that category. This is so the community can review it. The users will also have been warned before they publish the article that it has a lot of unchanged text from machine translations. [15]

data. This is to make it easier to find the right information with a search engine. This changes the metadata for a wiki page. It doesn't change how the page looks. [48]

Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 21 November at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The Wikimedia wikis use templates to show readers there are problems with the content on some pages. For example if there are no sources or the page needs to be rewritten. The mobile website will soon show more information when you use these templates. Some templates may need to be updated. [49]
- The Education Program extension was removed from all Wikimedia projects. The database tables used by the extension will be archived. This will happen in a month. If you want the information on your wiki you should move it to a normal wiki page. [50]
