Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026

Hello! I noticed you're a bot operator, so I thought you might be interested in a hackathon we're organizing: the Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026, on 13–14 March in Arnhem, Netherlands.

It's a two-day, technically oriented hackathon bringing together Wikimedians from the region. Whether you want to work on bot frameworks, tools, or other technical projects, this could be a great opportunity to collaborate with fellow developers. Registration closes mid-January or when full. Let me know if there are any questions. Hope to see you there! Daanvr (talk) 09:13, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-03

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• The Wikimedia Foundation has shared some guiding questions for the July 2026–June 2027 Annual Plan on Meta and Diff. These focus on global trends, faster and healthier experimentation, better support for newcomers, strengthening editors and advanced users, improving collaboration across projects, and growing and retaining readership. Feedback and ideas are welcome on the talk page.

Updates for editors

• As part of the current work of Community Tech team on the Multiple watchlists project, the display of EditWatchlist will be updated as a first step towards multiple watchlists. Additionally, the pagination on Search will be updated too, as a part of the work on the Revamp pagination / page navigation wish. [1]
• The Global Watchlist is a MediaWiki extension that lets you see your watchlists from different wikis on the same page. It was recently updated to look more like the regular Watchlist, such as preparing it for temporary accounts in IP masking (including rerouting user links to contributions pages), making page titles bold, and opening links in edit summaries and tags in new browser tabs. [2][3][4][5]
• View all 28 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue where global blocks did not have the option to disable sending emails, has now been fixed, and will be available for use in the week of January 13. [6]

Updates for technical contributors

• The VisualEditor citation tool and Reference Previews now support "map" as a reference type. [7]
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki/MediaWiki

Panoramabild?

Hallo User:XRay, Du scheinst Dich ja mit Fotos auszukennen. Deshalb kannst Du mir bestimmt erklären, warum dieses Bild ein Panorama-Bild sein soll. Gem. der Definition bei Commons ist ein Panoramabild "ein Bild, das einen großen Betrachtungswinkel abdeckt". Das kann ich hier nicht erkennen. Es ist aus meiner laien Sicht ein normales Fotos. Kläre mich gerne auf. --Berlinschneid (talk) 17:24, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

@Berlinschneid: Gerne antworte ich dir. Zuerst einmal habe ich allerdings deine Frage auf meine Talkpage verschoben. Dieser Weg ist hier üblich. Ich antworte auch nicht auf den Filetalkpages. Das ist unübersichtlich und verwirrt nur. Eine Panoramabild entsteht entweder durch die Panoramafunktion der Kamera oder wird aus mehreren Aufnahmen per Stitching zusammengesetzt. Es gibt auch spezielle Panoramakameras, aber die sind selten. Meist ist die Auflösung des Bilds größer als die der Kamera (der vage formulierte Betrachtungswinkel, der übrigens von Wikidata und nicht von Commons kommt). Obwohl jedes Bildformat möglich ist, sind viele Panoramabilder horizontal. Aber das ist nicht zwingend. Hier bei Commons gibt es Kategorien für horizontale und vertikale Panoramabilder. Für Bilder, die per Software zusammengesetzt sind - Stitching -, gibt es ebenso eine Kategorie. -- XRay 💬 17:54, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Ach ja, bei deiner Löschaktion hast du übersehen, dass es mehrere Kategorien mit Bezug zum Panoramabild gibt und auch das Template {{Panorama}} gesetzt ist. -- XRay 💬 17:58, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-04

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

• The tray shown on Special:Diff in mobile view has been redesigned. It is now collapsed by default, and incorporates a link to undo the edit being viewed, making it easier for mobile editors and reviewers to take action while keeping the interface uncluttered. [8]
• The Global Watchlist lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The extension continues to improve — it now automatically determines the text direction (ensuring correct display of sites with unusual domain names) and shows detailed descriptions for log actions. Later this week, a new permanent link for page creations and CSS classes for each entry element will be added. [9][10][11][12]
• View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the previously observed issue in Vector 2022, where anchor link targets were obscured by the sticky header, has now been addressed. [13]

Updates for technical contributors

• As mentioned in the October 2025 deprecation announcement, MediaWiki Interfaces team will begin sunsetting all transform endpoints containing a trailing slash from the MediaWiki REST API the week of January 26. Changes are expected to roll out to all wikis on or before January 30th. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found, compared, and tested using the REST Sandbox. If you have questions or encounter any problems, please file a ticket in Phabricator to the #MW-Interfaces-Team board.
• Interactive reference documentation for the Wikimedia REST API has moved. Requests to API docs previously hosted through RESTBase (e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/) are now redirected to the REST Sandbox.
• The WMF Wikidata Platform team (WDP) has published its January 2026 newsletter. It includes updates on the legacy full-graph endpoint decommissioning, the User-Agent policy change, the monthly Blazegraph migration office hours, and efforts to reduce regressions caused by the legacy endpoint shutdown. As a reminder, you can subscribe to the WDP newsletter!
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• The Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026 will take place on 13-14 March 2026 in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Applications opened mid-December and will close soon or when capacity is reached. It's a two-day, technically oriented hackathon bringing together Wikimedians from the region. Hope to see you there!

Category:Seattle (text)

How is it useful to place Category:Seattle (text) on File:Seattle (WA, USA), Pike Street, E-Scooter -- 2022 -- 1460.jpg? Yes, if I go on a hunt I can find the word there (it's on the labels just below the handlebars of the scooters) but it is less prominent than many features not called out by categories: that there is a Subway sandwich shop in the background, that this is a sidewalk, that there is a bus stop, that there are pedestrians. Not that I'm saying any of those deserve categories, just that this is adding a category for an incidental detail, and that I cannot imagine looking in that category for content finding this a useful image. (If I was going to add anything, it would be the Hertz office.) - Jmabel ! talk 20:34, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

The reason is that a long time ago, I thought it would be a good idea to set existing text categories automatically. Shortly afterwards, I realized that it was actually a rather stupid idea. So the automatic function was removed again. I also removed many of the categories that had been set in this way. Since this was done manually, mistakes were made and some categories remained. Like here. -- XRay 💬 20:39, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Good to hear. FWIW, that addition by your bot appears to have happened today, so if it is something you think you removed, that's a bit odd. - Jmabel ! talk 00:19, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Another mistake. I'll check this. -- XRay 💬 06:20, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

You were right. Thank you very much for pointing that out. I found another instance. Now it's definitely been removed. (The configuration in question is ancient, but “Seattle” was still in there.) Thank you very much for bringing that to my attention. -- XRay 💬 06:29, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
