<section begin="technews-2026-W28"/><div class="plainlinks">
Latest '''tech news ↗''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations ↗ are available.
'''Updates for editors'''
- 12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item ↗ View all {{formatnum:34}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:34|task|tasks}} that were resolved last week ↗. For example, an issue where the search bar results on Wikidata, showed English results instead of using the correct language fallback for users of language variants, has now been fixed. Search suggestions will now follow the expected language fallback chain. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T429769 ↗
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
- In preparation for Celebrate Women campaign ↗ planned for March 2027, the Wikimedia Foundation’s Content Enablement team ↗ has launched a 22-question survey to better understand technical contributions by women+ (anyone who identifies as a woman) across Wikimedia projects. The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete and will remain open until 20 July 2026. The questions ↗ are also available on-wiki for review in advance.
- The Score extension ↗ now supports rendering music scores as SVG images in addition to PNG, addressing a long-standing feature request ↗ and resolving historical image quality issues. Both formats are now provided to clients, with PNG in the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>src</nowiki></code></bdi> attribute and SVG in the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>srcset</nowiki></code></bdi> attribute.
- The new Parsoid ↗ parser continues to be deployed to additional wikis ↗, making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. It was enabled on French Wikipedia, bringing total progress to covering 78.9% of Wikipedia page views. Rollout to English Wikipedia desktop will progress through this week.
- 12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item ↗ Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki ↗
'''In depth'''
- The Wikimedia Hackathon 2026 recap blog post ↗ is now live. It highlights the projects, sessions, and social activities from this year’s event, and shares initial plans for the 2027 Wikimedia Hackathon.

Question about The Complete Peanuts
@Rich Farmbrough I wonder if you can help me with a question.
Back in December 2025, I posted on the Talk page for The Complete Peanuts: Talk:The Complete Peanuts#Official website ↗.
I was going to make a few edits, but I do not know how to edit entries that depend on Wikidata or Wikimedia. Can you help, please? Thanks for considering!
I'm asking you because I notice that you edited this talk page a long time ago, back in 2015, and you might be willing to come back and help me to answer my questions there, please. Thanks again! MDW333 (talk) 02:23, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Template:Hooks change request
Hello, and ThanQ for creating Template:Hooks ↗. I'd like to make a change to match the singular Template:Hook ↗, but thought I'd check first to be sure, as I had questions.
Basically, I'd like to add the Wikipedia:Encyclopedic style ↗ link to T:Hooks to match the T:Hook verbiage. If I were to do it myself, do I simply edit the Ambox at T:Hooks? Here's what I would change:
- From: <code>| fix = <existing verbiage>... in an encyclopaedic tone.</code> <---also note the British English spelling
- To: <code>| fix = <existing verbiage>... in an encyclopedic style ↗.</code> <-- adds link & changes to American English
I'd also like to add <code>| removalnotice = yes</code> to T:Hooks.
Two more curiosities that I wondered about during experimentation:
- T:Hooks already has <code>| date = <nowiki>{{{date|}}}</nowiki></code> but it does not show the ''(July 2026)'' text in the Ambox Preview like it does in T:Hook, and likewise,
- Adding <code>| talk = <nowiki>{{{talk|}}}</nowiki></code> to T:Hooks does not show the sentence that T:Hook has: "Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page ↗."
So for the first two bullets above, should I effect the change myself? Do I ''have'' to Sanbox/Test it first? Or would you prefer to do the change? ThanQ IA ~<}:^> GreyElf (talk) 10:40, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
:As far as I am concerned you can go for it. Others might prefer you use a sandbox, and even though there are very few transclusions it might be useful as a learning experience if you haven't before. But I leave it to you. All the best: ''Rich Farmbrough''<small> 15:06, 9 July 2026 (UTC).<br /></small>
:Oh, I doubt that there are many, if indeed any, talk page discussions about {{Tlx| Hooks}} or {{Tlx|Hook}}. But no objection to adding the param. All the best: ''Rich Farmbrough''<small> 15:10, 9 July 2026 (UTC).<br /></small>
::OK...I added <code>encyclopedic style ↗</code> and <code>| removalnotice = yes</code>
::About <code>| talk = <nowiki>{{{talk|}}}</nowiki></code> ... my understanding is, the Talk page to which the user is directed is not the Talk for the Template, but the Talk for the Article on which the template is placed, so that article improvement can be discussed. For instance, I added T:Hooks to NCIS: Los Angeles season 3 ↗ and if anyone wanted to Talk about it, the link would open the Talk:NCIS: Los Angeles season 3 ↗ page.
::However, adding <code>| talk = <nowiki>{{{talk|}}}</nowiki></code> to T:Hooks currently does not show the sentence that T:Hook has: "Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page ↗."
::Any ideas on why it doesn't show? ThanQ again. ~<}:^> GreyElf (talk) 21:21, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
:::You need to set the parameter in the article to the name of the talk page section. I have done this on the page in question. All the best: ''Rich Farmbrough''<small> 15:53, 10 July 2026 (UTC).<br /></small>
::::OK. ThanQ 4 the lesson. Cheers! ~<}:^> GreyElf (talk) 18:32, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
