"The paper outlines the collaboration between the National Library of the Czech Republic and Wikimedia since 2006, focusing on linking authority records with Wikipedia articles and training librarians and users. By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata. This partnership has enhanced their cooperation for mutual benefit, identifying key factors for their successful long-term collaboration."

The Wikidata Gender Diversity project (WiGeDi) timeline highlights the significant changes influenced by external historical events and the community's increased understanding of gender complexity."

2025年第3期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。

本周要闻

• 单一用户登录（SUL）系统将在今后几个月中进行更新。借由这个系统，用户只需在一个维基媒体网站上填入账号密码，即可于所有其他维基媒体网站上登入。由于浏览器对跨网域cookie的限制日趋严格，因此需要更新。为了配合这些限制，登入和账号建立页面将移至中央网域，但以用户的视角来看仍像是在原本的维基站点上。此更新将于本周在测试维基上推出。此变更计划于2月和3月向所有用户推出。请参阅SUL3项目页面以了解更多细节和时间表。

近况更新 - 面向编辑者

• 在安装有PageAssessments的维基上，用户现在可以用inproject:前缀，按维基专题筛选搜寻结果。这些维基包括：阿拉伯语维基百科、​英语维基百科、​英语维基导游、​法语维基百科、​匈牙利语维基百科、​尼泊尔语维基百科、​土耳其语维基百科、​中文维基百科。 [1]
• 已新建一个维基： 提格雷语维基百科 (w:tig:) [2]
• 上周有35个社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，先前回退所产生的编辑未正确计入用户的编辑次数，此问题现已修复。 [3]

近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者

• Wikimedia REST API用户，如机器人操作者和工具维护者，可能会受到正在进行的升级更新的影响。从1月13日当周开始，我们将着手将部分页面内容端点从RESTbase重新路由至较新的MediaWiki REST API端点，这项变更适用于所有维基站点。这项变更先前已在测试维基上施行，应不会影响现有功能；如果相关端点的活跃用户发现任何问题，可以直接在Phabricator中向MediaWiki界面团队回报。
• 诚邀Toolforge工具维护者分享他们对Toolforge UI的意见回馈。Toolforge UI是一项提供Web平台的计划，让工具维护者能透过图形界面来创建和管理Toolforge工具，以补足现有的命令列工作流程。Toolforge UI旨在简化活跃维护者的工作，并让新工具创建者更容易进行注册和部署流程。这项计划仍处于非常早期的阶段，Cloud Services团队正在收集Toolforge社群的意见回馈，以协助塑造满足其需求的解决方案。阅读更多并分享您对Toolforge UI的看法。
• 使用OAuth系统的工具和函数库开发者请留意：先前，用于OAuth 1和OAuth 2的身份端点会返回一个JSON对象，其sub字段为整数——这是不正确的，该字段应始终为字串。此问题已修复，并将于1月13日当周部署至维基媒体维基。 [4]
• 目前，许多维基使用Cite CSS在Parsoid输出中呈现自订脚注标记（脚注编号）。从1月20日开始，这些规则将被停用，但开发人员强烈建议您不要在2月20日之前清理MediaWiki:Common.css，以免迁移过程中发生问题。您的维基在可视化编辑器中和使用实验性Parsoid阅读模式时，可能会遇到脚注标记的一些小变更；即使有变更，其所渲染出的应与旧版解析器的输出一致。 [5]

会议与活动

• 维基媒体基金会与维基共享资源社群的对话系列的下一次会议将于1月15日的8:00 UTC和16:00 UTC举行。本次通话会议的主题是决定共享资源工具投资的优先级。欢迎所有维基的贡献者参加，尤其是维护共享资源工具的用户。

技术新闻由技术新闻编者准备，并由机器人送达 • 贡献 • 翻译 • 获取帮助 • 提供反馈 • 订阅或退订。

2025年第4期技术新闻

维基媒体技术社群现在发布最新的技术新闻。请告知其他用户这些更改；不是所有的更改都会对您造成影响。技术新闻提供其他语言的翻译版本。

近况更新 - 面向编辑者

• 管理员可以用大量删除（Nuke）功能大量删除由特定用户或IP地址建立的页面。先前，该功能只能删除过去30天内建立的页面。现在，针对特定用户或IP地址，该功能可以删除过去90天内建立的页面。 [6]
• 在启用编辑巡查功能的维基上，当使用回退功能复原未经巡查的页面修订时，系统现在会将其标记为更准确的“手动巡查”，而非“自动巡查”。在最近更改中设有筛选条件的编者可能需要更新。 [7]
• 上周有31个社群提交的工单得到解决。 例如，先前可视化编辑器的“插入链接”功能，当输入时偶尔不会正确显示建议的现有页面，现已修正此问题。

近况更新 - 面向技术贡献者

• 结构式讨论扩展（又称Flow）正逐步弃用。该扩展未经维护且造成问题。结构式讨论将被讨论工具（DiscussionTools）取代，其用于任何一般讨论页。我们即将联络最后一批维基（加泰罗尼亚语维基语录、​芬兰维基媒体协会、​果阿孔卡尼语维基百科、​卡拜尔语维基百科、​葡萄牙语维基教科书、​瑞典维基媒体协会）。如果您对弃用流程有任何疑问，请在您的维基上提及（ping）Trizek (WMF)。 [8]
• 季刊技术社群电子报新期数发布。本期内容包括：来自资料平台工程团队的服务近况更新；来自设计系统团队的Codex资讯更新；等等。
