Latest '''tech news โ''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations โ are available.
'''Updates for editors'''
- As part of the Account Creation Experiments โ, the Growth team tested adding a user account icon in the mobile web header for logged-out users, providing direct access to "Create account" and "Log in" actions. The experiment increased account creation by about 20% without negatively affecting edit quality or constructive edit rates. The feature will now be rolled out to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on mobile web in the first week of July. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428220 โ
- After a successful experiment โ, logged-in users who did not confirm their email address โ when their account was created see a new banner asking them to complete that process. This helps reduce the risk that users get locked out of their account, and makes account email addresses overall more reliable. This is part of the Account Security โ project. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T428292 โ
- An update to Search โ is refining how the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>-prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> behaves when used to exclude results. Previously, using <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>-prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> with negation could unintentionally broaden search results by adding the namespaces included in the search scope, leading to confusing behavior for users expecting a straightforward exclusion filter. With the update, <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>-prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> will now strictly exclude matching page titles as intended and may display a warning if the relevant namespace has not been explicitly selected. The behavior of <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> without negation however remains unchanged. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T427443 โ
- 12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item โ View all {{formatnum:33}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:33|task|tasks}} that were resolved last week โ. For example, an issue where reviewers using the Page Curation toolbar were not automatically subscribed to talk page discussions they started has now been fixed. Reviewers will now receive notifications when someone replies to those discussions. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T329346 โ
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
- Starting June 29th, automated downloads from the dumps.wikimedia.org website will be subject to the user-agent policy โ. Automated requests that provide a generic or empty user-agent will be blocked. Access to dumps through Wikimedia Cloud Services remains unaffected. This is a follow up to the announcement made in the 2026/25 issue of Tech News โ.

Question from Pgraham9999 (22:54, 29 June 2026)
At the time Innerline was active, I, as an employee of Dynamic Data, I was responsible for the software that was Innerline and did most of the day-to-day operation.
My edit of thie page was undone without reason. How do I verify that the cange I mae is correct. --Pgraham9999 (talk) 22:54, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:@Pgraham9999, welcome to Wikipedia! Do you have a reliable source โ which supports Dynamic Data's involvement? If not, then we cannot include that information on Wikipedia. I'd also ask that you take a look at our conflict of interest guideline โ, which is relevant even if you are no longer at Dynamic Data. Let me know if you have questions!

Venkateswara and Legend of Tirumala
The problem was I couldn't find anything remotely resembling the paraphrased text even limiting it to the cited pages and a few either way - allowing for IA's tendency to not match page numbers with paper books. If I can't find it to compare I can't RD1 it. Now you've given me the original text I can see it and I'll take another look at both articles. Nthep (talk) 18:29, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

You're invited to the Mentorship noticeboard
Hi, Vermont. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard โ. I get the impression sometimes that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole or hamster wheel, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to share and learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Please take the {{slink|WP:MNB|Survey|nopage=yes}} when you get there! Mathglot (talk) 00:39, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
- In preparation for Celebrate Women campaign โ planned for March 2027, the Wikimedia Foundationโs Content Enablement team โ 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 15โ20 minutes to complete and will remain open until 20 July 2026. The questions โ are also available on-wiki for review in advance.
- The Score extension โ now supports rendering music scores as SVG images in addition to PNG, addressing a long-standing feature request โ 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 โ parser continues to be deployed to additional wikis โ, 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.
