[[File:Wikiversity Bots.svg|230px|right]]
'''Robots''' or '''bots''' are semi-automatic or automatic [[w:process (computing)|processes]] that interact with Wikiversity as though they were a human editor. They are used to manage systematic or boring tasks. Please read the guidelines below before designing and implementing any bot on Wikiversity.

== Summary ==
{{Administering Wikiversity}}
A bot does repetitive tasks in a predictable fashion, and it can be done in such a way as to be healthy for the community.

== Expectations ==
The operation of a bot requires approval. Any user can submit a request at [[Wikiversity:Bots/Status]] to obtain bot status, which prevents cluttering [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]]. Bot status is given by [[m:Bureaucrat|Bureaucrats]] about seven days after the request has been made, provided there has been no objection to the request by another user. The decision lies with the bureaucrats.

The bot flag ''may'' be removed after 2 or more years of bot inactivity. The bot operator will be notified on their talk page and the flag will be re-granted if the operator expresses an interest in resuming bot activity.

The burden of proof is on the bot-maker to demonstrate that the bot:
* is harmless
* is useful
* is not a server hog
* has been approved

'''Bot operators ''must'':'''
# create a separate account for bot operation.
# indicate on their bot's user page:
#* which program / language is used. ([[meta:Using the python wikipediabot|Pywikipedia]], Ruby, JavaScript...)
#* who the owner is.
# discuss with other Wikiversity editors before running their bot. Any bot request has to reach consensus to be fulfilled.
# log in with their own user account when talking to other users.

'''Bot operators ''should'':'''
* choose a name containing the word &quot;bot&quot; so that editors realize they are dealing with an [[w:automaton|automaton]].

'''Bot operators ''may'':'''
* run their bot without the bot status '''only''' during its request for approval '''and''' if asked so by another editor to check how the bot works. When testing, bot operators must delay 60 seconds between edits.

'''Bot operators are ''encouraged'' to:'''
* Release their bot's source code.
* Program their bot to stop editing if someone leaves a message on its talk page. This can be checked by looking for the &quot;You have new messages...&quot; banner in the HTML for the edit form.
* Program their bot to stop editing if they detect that they have logged out. This can be checked by looking for bot's name in the HTML for the edit form. If the bot is not logged in, then the bot's name won't be listed in the HTML. Bots running anonymously may be blocked.

== Edit rate guidelines ==
Bots running without a bot flag should edit at intervals of over 1 minute. Once they have been authorised and appropriately flagged, they should operate at an absolute minimum interval of 5 seconds (12 edits per minute). Bots should try to avoid running during the busiest hours, as they rapidly use server resources that should be reserved for human readers and editors. During these hours, they should operate at intervals of 20 seconds (3 edits per minute) to conserve resources.

Bots' editing speeds can be automatically adjusted based on server load (slave database server lag) by appending an extra parameter to the query string of each requested URL; see [[mw:Manual:Maxlag parameter]].

== Bot functionalities ==
Although a bot can be assigned a sysop flag, these requests are discouraged. The Curator flag may be assigned to a bot operated by a Custodian.

We have three featured projects, both outside the [[Wikiversity:Namespaces|namespace]] of this resource.

*'''[[Linear algebra (Osnabrück 2024-2025)/Part I]]'''

*'''[[Linear algebra (Osnabrück 2024-2025)/Part II]]'''

*'''[[Mathematics for Applied Sciences (Osnabrück 2023-2024)/Part I]]''' is a mathematical course for beginners at the University of Osnabrück. It covers logical foundation, sets, mappings, algebraic structures like fields and polynomials, the basics of analysis like sequences, continuity, differentiability, primitive functions and the basics of linear algebra like vector spaces, bases, linear maps, eigenvalues. While course has been taught many times, this is a textbook -- not an online course.

[[File:Spacetime lattice analogy.svg|thumb|340px|[[w:Ricci_calculus|Ricci calculus]] is hard to learn, but it will bend your mind!]]
*'''[[Tensors]]''' employs the &quot;unorthodox&quot; approach of using the covariant and contravariant forms associated with [[w:Ricci calculus|Ricci calculus]]. But keep in mind that this approach is vastly superior. It is required for [[w:Einstein field equations|General Relativity]], and is the most powerful way to do vectors and tensors. 

::''[[Tensors|Contents:]]&amp;nbsp;•&amp;nbsp;[[Tensors/Definitions|Tensors/Definitions]] •&amp;nbsp;[[Tensors/Bases, components, and dual spaces|Tensors/Bases]] •&amp;nbsp;[[Tensors/Calculations with index notation|Tensors/Calculations with index notation]] •&amp;nbsp;[[Tensors/Transformation rule under a change of basis|Tensors/Transformation rule under a change of basis]]''

===Other projects===
*'''[[/Introductory definitions/]]''' is a short and simple introduction to linear algebra. The best part is the three links to three Youtube videos:
::# [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFApWAl3NJw Element-wise Matrix Operations]
::# [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYlOjyPyX3g Matrix multiplication]
::# [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j5Ic2V7wq4 Gaussian Elimination]

*'''[[/Linear equations/]]''' is a beginners guide to equations like the famous ''y=mx+b.'' In the US, this material is typically introduced in late middle school or early high school.
*'''[[/Determinant quiz/]]''' is a 3-question quiz on finding the determinants of square matrices. We need more quizzes on linear algebra. Teachers are encouraged to task students with writing and publishing quizzes on Wikiversity (see the [[#Call_for_contributions|Call for contributions]] below.)
*'''[[Orthogonal matrix]]''' attempts to visualize orthogonality and rotational transformations in non-rigorous fashion.
*'''[[/Linear maps/]]''' Defines the linearity relevant to this algebra in [[wikt:recondite|recondite]] mathematical language.
*'''[[/Convex combination/]]'''. In [[w:en:convex geometry|convex geometry]], a ''convex combination'' is a [[w:en:linear combination|linear combination]] of [[w:en:point (geometry)|points]] (which can be [[w:en:vector (geometric)|vector]]s, [[w:en:scalar (mathematics)|scalars]], or more generally points in an [[w:en:affine space|affine space]]) where all [[w:en:coefficients|coefficients]] are [[w:en:non-negative|non-negative]] and sum to 1.tion/]].
*'''[[/Cramer's rule/]]''' attempts to simplify what can be found in Wikipedia's ''[[w:Cramer's rule]]'', while the attempt is successful, the Wikipedia article is fairly readable. In the US, the rule is typically taught soon after a student completes a year of college-level calculus.

*'''[[Tensors]]''' employs the &quot;unorthodox&quot; approach of using the covariant and contravariant forms associated with [[w:Ricci calculus|Ricci calculus]]. But keep in mind that this approach is vastly superior. It is required for [[w:Einstein field equations|General Relativity]], and is the most powerful way to do vectors and tensors.

===Other projects===
*'''[[/Introductory definitions/]]''' is a short and simple introduction to linear algebra. The best part is the three links to three Youtube videos:

::# [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYlOjyPyX3g Matrix multiplication]
::# [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j5Ic2V7wq4 Gaussian Elimination]

*'''[[/Linear equations/]]''' is a beginners guide to equations like the famous ''y=mx+b.'' In the US, this material is typically introduced in late middle school or early high school.
*'''[[/Determinant quiz/]]''' is a 3-question quiz on finding the determinants of square matrices. We need more quizzes on linear algebra. Teachers are encouraged to task students with writing and publishing quizzes on Wikiversity (see the [[#Call_for_contributions|Call for contributions]] below.)
*'''[[Orthogonal matrix]]''' attempts to visualize orthogonality and rotational transformations in non-rigorous fashion.
*'''[[/Linear maps/]]''' Defines the linearity relevant to this algebra in [[wikt:recondite|recondite]] mathematical language.
*'''[[/Convex combination/]]'''. In [[w:en:convex geometry|convex geometry]], a ''convex combination'' is a [[w:en:linear combination|linear combination]] of [[w:en:point (geometry)|points]] (which can be [[w:en:vector (geometric)|vector]]s, [[w:en:scalar (mathematics)|scalars]], or more generally points in an [[w:en:affine space|affine space]]) where all [[w:en:coefficients|coefficients]] are [[w:en:non-negative|non-negative]] and sum to 1.tion/]].
*'''[[/Cramer's rule/]]''' attempts to simplify what can be found in Wikipedia's ''[[w:Cramer's rule]]'', while the attempt is successful, the Wikipedia article is fairly readable. In the US, the rule is typically taught soon after a student completes a year of college-level calculus.

The '''integers''' are a very fundamental mathematical set on which arithmetic is based.  They are the familiar &quot;whole numbers&quot;; that is, they do not include fractional quantities.  They include zero and negative whole numbers&amp;mdash;the [[natural number]]s are the set that includes only positive whole numbers.  That is, the integers are the set &lt;math&gt;\dots -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, \dots&lt;/math&gt;.

Mathematicians denote the set of integers with an ornate capital letter: &lt;math&gt;\mathbb{I}&lt;/math&gt;.  They are the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; item in this hierarchy of types of [[number]]s:

*The &quot;[[natural number]]s&quot;&amp;mdash;&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{N}&lt;/math&gt;, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
*The &quot;integers&quot;&amp;mdash;&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{I}&lt;/math&gt;, positive, negative, and zero
*The &quot;[[rational number]]s&quot;&amp;mdash;&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{Q}&lt;/math&gt;, or [[fraction]]s, like 355/113
*The &quot;[[real number]]s&quot;&amp;mdash;&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{R}&lt;/math&gt;, including irrational numbers
*The &quot;[[complex number]]s&quot;&amp;mdash;&lt;math&gt;\mathbb{C}&lt;/math&gt;, which give solutions to polynomial equations

__TOC__
==Definition of the integers==
Integer represents a set of signed numbers namely Negative numbers , Zero and Positive numbers . Integer is denoted as '''I''' . So Negative number is '''-I''' and Positive number is '''+I'''

:&lt;math&gt;I = {-I,0,+I}&lt;/math&gt;

Where
: &lt;math&gt;I&lt;/math&gt; . Integer 
: &lt;math&gt;-I&lt;/math&gt; . Negative integer
: &lt;math&gt;+I&lt;/math&gt; . Positive integer


Negative number is defined as a number has value less than zero
:&lt;math&gt;-I &lt; 0&lt;/math&gt;

Positive number is defined as a number has value greater zero
:&lt;math&gt;+I &gt; 0&lt;/math&gt;

Example
Integers of octal base
:&lt;math&gt;I = {-9,-8,-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3,+4,+5,+6,+7,+8,+9}&lt;/math&gt;

==Mathematical operations==
===Differfent integers===
:&lt;math&gt;(-I) + 0 = -I&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;(+I) + 0 = +I&lt;/math&gt;
: &lt;math&gt;(+I) + (-I) = 0&lt;/math&gt;
: &lt;math&gt;(-I) + (+I) = 0&lt;/math&gt;

===Like positive integer===
:&lt;math&gt;(+I) + (+I) = +2I&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;(+I) - (+I) = 0&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;(+I) \times (+I) = I^2&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;(+I) / (+I) = 1&lt;/math&gt;

===Like negative integer===
:&lt;math&gt;(-I) + (-I) = -2I&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;(-I) - (-I) = 0&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;(-I) \times (-I) = I^2&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;(-I) / (-I) = 1&lt;/math&gt;

==Addition==
For all positive x and y, we extend addition to all integers as follows.  The value of x+(-y) depends on which is larger, x or y.
::If &lt;math&gt;x &gt; y&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;x+(-y) = x-y&lt;/math&gt;
::If &lt;math&gt;x &lt; y&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;x+(-y) = -(y-x)&lt;/math&gt;
:Also, &lt;math&gt;(-y)+x&lt;/math&gt; = &lt;math&gt;x+(-y)&lt;/math&gt;, and &lt;math&gt;(-x)+(-y) = -(x+y)&lt;/math&gt;
:Finally, &lt;math&gt;x+0 = 0+x = x&lt;/math&gt; for all x, positive, negative, or zero.

==Negation==
This operator, written &quot;-x&quot;, has already been defined for positive numbers.  For negative numbers, we define
: &lt;math&gt; -(-x) = x&lt;/math&gt;.  Also, &lt;math&gt;-0 = 0&lt;/math&gt;.

==Subtraction==
We define subtraction for all numbers, positive, negative, or zero, in terms of negation and addition
:  &lt;math&gt;x-y = x+(-y)&lt;/math&gt;

==Multiplication==
For negative numbers, we define
:&lt;math&gt;x \times (-y) = -(x \times y)&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;(-x)\times y = -(x \times y)&lt;/math&gt;
:&lt;math&gt;0 \times x = x \times 0 = 0&lt;/math&gt;

*Ordering:  If x and y are both positive numbers:
::&lt;math&gt;-x &lt; -y&lt;/math&gt; if and only if &lt;math&gt;x &gt; y&lt;/math&gt;
::&lt;math&gt;-x &lt; 0&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;-x &lt; y&lt;/math&gt;
::&lt;math&gt;0 &gt; -y&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math&gt;x &gt; -y&lt;/math&gt;
:In all cases, 
::&lt;math&gt;x&lt;y&lt;/math&gt; means x&amp;ne;y and y &gt; x

From these definitions, we can then prove all the various commutativity, associativity, and distributivity properties, and the trichotomy law.  This is left as an exercise.

==Group and ring properties==
The integers, with their property of addition, constitute a [[Group (mathematics)|group]].  Groups are extremely important objects in mathematics.  A group requires a set (the integers), an operation (addition), an &quot;inverse&quot; operation (negation&amp;mdash;the natural numbers don't have this, so they are not a group), and an &quot;identity&quot; operation (zero).  To be a group, the operation must be associative, a property which the integers satisfy.  Also, since addition

Furthermore, the integers have a multiplication operator, satisfying the distributive law, and having a multiplicative identity (1).  This makes the integers a [[ring]].

: Thanks for compiling this list. I just want to point out that this is solely based on contributions verifiable on-wiki. It does not take into the account of off-wiki activities (e.g. Kelee Pacion has been arranging for meetings well into May 2022 and Jack Nunn voiced his opinion of an article in the mailing list in August 2022, yet their contributions based from on-wiki history would not reveal this aspect). [[User:OhanaUnited|&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000FF;&quot;&gt;OhanaUnited&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;]][[User talk:OhanaUnited|&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: green;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;Talk page&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;]] 15:18, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
:: That's a good and valid point! I've only attended one or maybe two meetings away from Wikiversity but I do appreciate the efforts those attending these meetings have been making! I've kept Kelee and Jack as active participants even though there are few Wikiversity edits toward WikiJournals. If there are any I've listed as inactive that also are active such as at these meetings feel free to change them to active. --[[User:Marshallsumter|Marshallsumter]] ([[User talk:Marshallsumter|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Marshallsumter|contribs]]) 01:55, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

==Recent reviews received for posting on Discussion pages==

Here is my review:

Jens Staal presents a nice short overview about the evolution of CARD-CC protein family and the function of these proteins in health and disease. My only comment is that references can be slightly updated (e.g. for CARD11 PMIDs 39743591, 30170123).

Here is an additional critique:

With respect to &quot;CARD-CC family&quot; by Jens Staal,

As far as my knowledge goes this submission is factually correct, but little more than an ennumeration of items, smothered under an avalanche of acronyms (some of which are acronyms of acronyms). If the coiled-coil part of the proteins mediates oligomerization, why are the proteins shown as monomers in Figure 1? I know that the structures in Figure 1 are AlphaFold models taken from AlphaFold-DB, but their helices are too far apart to form coiled coils in the monomeric state. They would form coiled coils if their structure was computed at the correct oligomer state.

: Thanks for compiling this list. I just want to point out that this is solely based on contributions verifiable on-wiki. It does not take into the account of off-wiki activities (e.g. Kelee Pacion has been arranging for meetings well into May 2022 and Jack Nunn voiced his opinion of an article in the mailing list in August 2022, yet their contributions based from on-wiki history would not reveal this aspect).

:: That's a good and valid point! I've only attended one or maybe two meetings away from Wikiversity but I do appreciate the efforts those attending these meetings have been making! I've kept Kelee and Jack as active participants even though there are few Wikiversity edits toward WikiJournals. If there are any I've listed as inactive that also are active such as at these meetings feel free to change them to active. --[[User:Marshallsumter|Marshallsumter]] ([[User talk:Marshallsumter|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Marshallsumter|contribs]]) 01:55, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

==Recent reviews received for posting on Discussion pages==

Here is my review:

Jens Staal presents a nice short overview about the evolution of CARD-CC protein family and the function of these proteins in health and disease. My only comment is that references can be slightly updated (e.g. for CARD11 PMIDs 39743591, 30170123).

Here is an additional critique:

With respect to &quot;CARD-CC family&quot; by Jens Staal,

As far as my knowledge goes this submission is factually correct, but little more than an ennumeration of items, smothered under an avalanche of acronyms (some of which are acronyms of acronyms). If the coiled-coil part of the proteins mediates oligomerization, why are the proteins shown as monomers in Figure 1? I know that the structures in Figure 1 are AlphaFold models taken from AlphaFold-DB, but their helices are too far apart to form coiled coils in the monomeric state. They would form coiled coils if their structure was computed at the correct oligomer state.

# Extensions for [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment|assessment]] exercises will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. Progress on the assessment items is expected throughout the teaching period. Early communication of problems is strongly advised.
# Extensions will not be granted for:
## Workload (e.g., study load and/or paid or voluntary work)—such problems should be anticipated
## Technical problems (e.g., lost/corrupted/damaged storage media, software/internet access problems, and viruses)—keep multiple and regular backups
## Undocumented issues
# Submit extension requests via the online &quot;Extension application form&quot; available in the {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} site. Include documentary evidence that covers the length of requested extension.
# Submit a separate request for each assessment item for which extension is sought
# The unit convener will consider the request and advise the outcome. If approved, the new due date will appear in {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}.
# For further information about extension requests, see:

==Basics==

===Multiplication by zero===

'''Theorem:''' 0 ⋅ ''a'' = ''a'' ⋅ 0 = 0

{{hidden
|(Click &quot;show&quot; at right to see the proof of this theorem or &quot;hide&quot; to hide it.)
|2= 

0 ⋅ ''a'' = (0 + 0) ⋅ ''a'' = (0 ⋅ ''a'') + (0 ⋅ ''a'')

By subtracting (i.e. adding the additive inverse of) 0 ⋅ ''a'' on both sides of the equation, we get the desired result. The proof that ''a'' ⋅ 0 = 0 is similar.}}

===Trivial ring===
'''Theorem:''' A ring (''R'', +, ⋅) is trivial (that is, consists of precisely one element) if and only if 0 = 1.

{{hidden
|(Click &quot;show&quot; at right to see the proof of this theorem or &quot;hide&quot; to hide it.)
|2=

Suppose 1 = 0. Let ''a'' be any element in ''R''; then ''a'' = ''a'' ⋅ 1 = ''a'' ⋅ 0 = 0. Therefore, (''R'', +, ⋅) is the trivial ring. Conversely, if (''R'', +, ⋅) is trivial, it must contain precisely one element. Therefore, 0 and 1 is the same element, i.e. 0=1.}}

===Multiplication by negative one===

'''Theorem:''' (&amp;minus;1)''a'' = &amp;minus;''a''

{{hidden
|(Click &quot;show&quot; at right to see the proof of this theorem or &quot;hide&quot; to hide it.)
|2=

(-1)· ''a'' + ''a'' = (-1)· ''a'' + 1 · ''a'' = ((-1) + 1) · ''a'' = 0 · ''a'' = 0

Therefore (-1) · ''a'' = (&amp;minus;1)''a'' + 0 = (&amp;minus;1) · ''a'' + (''a'' + (&amp;minus;''a''))= ((&amp;minus;1) · ''a'' + ''a'') + (&amp;minus;''a'') = 0 + (&amp;minus;''a'') = (&amp;minus;''a'').}}

===Multiplication by additive inverse===
'''Theorem 3''': (&amp;minus;''a'') ⋅ ''b'' = ''a'' ⋅ (&amp;minus;''b'') = &amp;minus;(''ab'')

{{hidden
|(Click &quot;show&quot; at right to see the proof of this theorem or &quot;hide&quot; to hide it.)
|2=

==Basics==

===Multiplication by zero===

'''Theorem:''' 0 ⋅ ''a'' = ''a'' ⋅ 0 = 0

{{hidden
|(Click &quot;show&quot; at right to see the proof of this theorem or &quot;hide&quot; to hide it.)
|2= 

0 ⋅ ''a'' = (0 + 0) ⋅ ''a'' = (0 ⋅ ''a'') + (0 ⋅ ''a'')

By subtracting (i.e. adding the additive inverse of) 0 ⋅ ''a'' on both sides of the equation, we get the desired result. The proof that ''a'' ⋅ 0 = 0 is similar.}}

===Trivial ring===
'''Theorem:''' A ring (''R'', +, ⋅) is trivial (that is, consists of precisely one element) if and only if 0 = 1.

{{hidden
|(Click &quot;show&quot; at right to see the proof of this theorem or &quot;hide&quot; to hide it.)
|2=

Suppose 1 = 0. Let ''a'' be any element in ''R''; then ''a'' = ''a'' ⋅ 1 = ''a'' ⋅ 0 = 0. Therefore, (''R'', +, ⋅) is the trivial ring. Conversely, if (''R'', +, ⋅) is trivial, it must contain precisely one element. Therefore, 0 and 1 is the same element, i.e. 0=1.}}

===Multiplication by negative one===

'''Theorem:''' (&amp;minus;1)''a'' = &amp;minus;''a''

{{hidden
|(Click &quot;show&quot; at right to see the proof of this theorem or &quot;hide&quot; to hide it.)
|2=

(-1)· ''a'' + ''a'' = (-1)· ''a'' + 1 · ''a'' = ((-1) + 1) · ''a'' = 0 · ''a'' = 0

Therefore (-1) · ''a'' = (&amp;minus;1)''a'' + 0 = (&amp;minus;1) · ''a'' + (''a'' + (&amp;minus;''a''))= ((&amp;minus;1) · ''a'' + ''a'') + (&amp;minus;''a'') = 0 + (&amp;minus;''a'') = (&amp;minus;''a'').}}

===Multiplication by additive inverse===
'''Theorem 3''': (&amp;minus;''a'') ⋅ ''b'' = ''a'' ⋅ (&amp;minus;''b'') = &amp;minus;(''ab'')

{{hidden
|(Click &quot;show&quot; at right to see the proof of this theorem or &quot;hide&quot; to hide it.)
|2=

To prove that the first expression equals the second one,
(&amp;minus;''a'') ⋅ ''b'' = ((-1)⋅''a'') ⋅ ''b''=  (''a''⋅ (-1)) ⋅ ''b'' = ''a''⋅ ((-1) ⋅ ''b'') = ''a''(&amp;minus;''b'').

To prove that the first expression equals the third one,
(&amp;minus;''a'') ⋅ ''b'' = ((-1)⋅''a'') ⋅ ''b'' = (-1) ⋅ (''a'' ⋅ ''b'').

A [[pseudo-ring]] does not necessarily have a multiplicative identity element. 
To prove that the first expression equals the third one without assuming the 
existence of a multiplicative identity, we show that (&amp;minus;''a'') ⋅ ''b'' is
indeed the inverse of (''a'' ⋅ ''b'') by showing that adding them up results in
the additive identity element,
(''a'' ⋅ ''b'') + (&amp;minus;''a'') ⋅ ''b'' = (''a'' &amp;minus; ''a'') ⋅ ''b'' = 0 ⋅ ''b'' = 0.

'''Recent changes'''
* You can use tags to filter edits in the recent changes feed or on your watchlist. You can now use tags to filter out edits you don't want to see. Previously you could only use tags to focus on the edits with those tags. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174349]
* [[Special:WhatLinksHere|Special:WhatLinksHere]] shows all pages that link to a specific page. There is now a [https://wlh.toolforge.org prototype] for how to sort those pages alphabetically. You can see the discussion in the [[phab:T4306|Phabricator ticket]].
* You can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Thanks|thanks]] function on your watchlist and the user contribution page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T51541]
* A wiki page can be moved to give it a new name. You can now get a dropdown menu with common reasons when you move a page. This is so you don't have to write the explanation every time. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T325257]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Matrix.org|Matrix]] is a chat tool. You can now use &lt;code&gt;matrix:&lt;/code&gt; to create Matrix links on wiki pages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326021]
* You can filter out translations when you look at the recent changes on multilingual wikis. This didn't hide translation pages. You can now also hide subpages which are translation pages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T233493]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Real Time Preview for Wikitext|Realtime preview for wikitext]] is a tool which lets editors preview the page when they edit wikitext. It will be enabled for all users of the 2010 wikitext editor. You will find it in the editor toolbar.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on {{#time:j xg|2023-01-10|en}} at 07:00 UTC ([https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s5.dblist targeted wikis]) and on {{#time:j xg|2023-01-12|en}} at 07:00 UTC ([https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s6.dblist targeted wikis]).
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.40/wmf.18|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2023-01-10|en}}.

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] Wikis that use localized numbering schemes for references need to add new CSS. This will help to show citation numbers the same way in all reading and editing modes. If your wiki would prefer to do it yourselves, please see the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Cite CSS|details and example CSS to copy from]], and also add your wiki to the list. Otherwise, the developers will directly help out starting the week of February 5.

* For three days last month, some Wikipedia pages edited with VisualEditor or DiscussionTools had an unintended &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__TOC__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; (or its localized form) added during an edit. There is [[mw:Parsoid/Deployments/T336101_followup|a listing of affected pages sorted by wiki]], that may still need to be fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T336101]

In the meantime, those wishing to edit the default sortkey of a page are advised to switch to source editing. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337398]

&lt;section begin=&quot;technews-2023-W28&quot;/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;plainlinks&quot;&gt;
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2023/28|Translations]] are available.

'''Recent changes'''
* The [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured Data Across Wikimedia/Section-level Image Suggestions|Section-level Image Suggestions feature]] has been deployed on seven Wikipedias (Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Catalan, Hungarian, Finnish and Norwegian Bokmål). The feature recommends images for articles on contributors' watchlists that are a good match for individual sections of those articles.
* [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global AbuseFilter|Global abuse filters]] have been enabled on all Wikimedia projects, except English and Japanese Wikipedias (who opted out). This change was made following a [[:m:Requests for comment/Make global abuse filters opt-out|global request for comments]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341159]
* [[{{#special:BlockedExternalDomains}}]] is a new tool for administrators to help fight spam. It provides a clearer interface for blocking plain domains (and their subdomains), is more easily searchable, and is faster for the software to process for each edit on the wiki. It does not support regex (for complex cases), nor URL path-matching, nor the [[MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist|MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist]], but otherwise it replaces most of the functionalities of the existing [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist|MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]]. There is a Python script to help migrate all simple domains into this tool, and more feature details, within [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:BlockedExternalDomains|the tool's documentation]]. It is available at all wikis except for Meta-wiki, Commons, and Wikidata. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337431]
* The WikiEditor extension was updated. It includes some of the most frequently used features of wikitext editing. In the past, many of its messages could only be translated by administrators, but now all regular translators on translatewiki can translate them. Please check [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:MessageGroupStats?group=ext-wikieditor&amp;messages=&amp;x=D#sortable:0=asc the state of WikiEditor localization into your language], and if the &quot;Completion&quot; for your language shows anything less than 100%, please complete the translation. See [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-ambassadors@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/D4YELU2DXMZ75PGELUOKXXMFF3FH45XA/ a more detailed explanation].

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.41/wmf.17|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2023-07-11|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2023-07-12|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2023-07-13|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.41/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* The default protocol of [[{{#special:LinkSearch}}]] and API counterparts has changed from http to both http and https. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14810]
* [[{{#special:LinkSearch}}]] and its API counterparts will now search for all of the URL provided in the query. It used to be only the first 60 characters. This feature was requested fifteen years ago. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T17218]

'''Future changes'''
* There is an experiment with a [[:w:en:ChatGPT|ChatGPT]] plugin. This is to show users where the information is coming from when they read information from Wikipedia. It has been tested by Wikimedia Foundation staff and other Wikimedians. Soon all ChatGPT plugin users can use the Wikipedia plugin. This is the same plugin which was mentioned in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2023/20|Tech News 2023/20]]. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Draft/Future_Audiences#FA2.2_Conversational_AI]
* There is an ongoing discussion on a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Third-party resources policy|proposed Third-party resources policy]]. The proposal will impact the use of third-party resources in gadgets and userscripts. Based on the ideas received so far, policy includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, some best practices and exemption requirements such as code transparency and inspectability. Your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on [[m:Talk:Third-party resources policy|on the policy talk page]].

'''Recent changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] We are now serving 1% of all global user traffic from [[w:en:Kubernetes|Kubernetes]] (you can [[wikitech:MediaWiki On Kubernetes|read more technical details]]). We are planning to increment this percentage regularly. You can [[phab:T290536|follow the progress of this work]]. 

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.41/wmf.18|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2023-07-18|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2023-07-19|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2023-07-20|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.41/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] MediaWiki [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:System_message|system messages]] will now look for available local fallbacks, instead of always using the default fallback defined by software. This means wikis no longer need to override each language on the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Language#Fallback_languages|fallback chain]] separately. For example, English Wikipedia doesn't have to create &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;en-ca&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;en-gb&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; subpages with a transclusion of the base pages anymore. This makes it easier to maintain local overrides. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T229992]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;action=growthsetmentorstatus&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; API will be deprecated with the new MediaWiki version. Bots or scripts calling that API should use the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;action=growthmanagementorlist&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; API now.

'''Recent changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Wishlist item]] As part of the changes for the [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Better diff handling of paragraph splits|better diff handling of paragraph splits]], improved detection of splits is being rolled out. Over the last two weeks, we deployed this support to [[wikitech:Deployments/Train#Groups|group0]] and group1 wikis. This week it will be deployed to group2 wikis. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341754]
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Wishlist item]] All [[{{#special:Contributions}}]] pages now show the user's local edit count and the account's creation date. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T324166]
* Wikisource users can now use the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;prpbengalicurrency&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; label to denote Bengali currency characters as page numbers inside the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;pagelist&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; tag.  [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268932]
* Two preferences have been relocated. The preference &quot;{{int:visualeditor-preference-visualeditor}}&quot; is now shown on the [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|&quot;{{int:prefs-editing}}&quot; tab]] at all wikis. Previously it was shown on the &quot;{{int:prefs-betafeatures}}&quot; tab at some wikis. The preference &quot;{{int:visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-enable}}&quot; is now also shown on the &quot;{{int:prefs-editing}}&quot; tab at all wikis, instead of the &quot;{{int:prefs-betafeatures}}&quot; tab. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T335056][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T344158]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.41/wmf.24|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2023-08-29|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2023-08-30|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2023-08-31|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.41/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] New signups for a Wikimedia developer account will start being pushed towards &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[https://idm.wikimedia.org/ idm.wikimedia.org]&lt;/bdi&gt;, rather than going via Wikitech. [[wikitech:IDM|Further information about the new system is available]].
* All right-to-left language wikis, plus Korean, Armenian, Ukrainian, Russian, and Bulgarian Wikipedias, will have a link in the sidebar that provides a short URL of that page, using the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia URL Shortener|Wikimedia URL Shortener]]. This feature will come to more wikis in future weeks. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T267921]

'''Future changes'''
* The removal of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:DoubleWiki|DoubleWiki extension]] is being discussed. This extension currently allows Wikisource users to view articles from multiple language versions side by side when the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;=&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; symbol next to a specific language edition is selected. Comments on this are welcomed at [[phab:T344544|the phabricator task]].
* A proposal has been made to merge the second hidden-categories list (which appears below the wikitext editing form) with the main list of categories (which is further down the page). [[phab:T340606|More information is available on Phabricator]]; feedback is welcome!

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T342115]
* When you are logged in on one Wikimedia wiki and visit a different Wikimedia wiki, the system tries to log you in there automatically. This has been unreliable for a long time. You can now visit the login page to make the system try extra hard. If you feel that made logging in better or worse than it used to be, your feedback is appreciated.

* Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a [[:w:en:International Components for Unicode|library]]. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is.

There are [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Features/Loading Vector 2010 scripts|more technical details]] available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia.

[[File:Talk_pages_default_look_(April_2023).jpg|thumb|alt=Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages|Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.]]
* The appearance of talk pages changed for the following wikis: {{int:project-localized-name-azwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-dewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-fawiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hiwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-idwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kowiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-nlwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-ptwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-rowiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-thwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-ukwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-viwiki/en}}. These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design, for one year. As this test [[Mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Usability/Analysis|gave positive results]], the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is possible to opt-out these changes [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|in user preferences]] (&quot;{{int:discussiontools-preference-visualenhancements}}&quot;). The deployment will happen at all wikis in the coming weeks. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341491]
* Seven new wikis have been created: 
** a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia}} in [[d:Q33014|Betawi]] ([[w:bew:|&lt;code&gt;w:bew:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T357866]

Initially, this feature will notify you of added or deleted messages in these groups. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T348501]
* Dark mode is now available on all wikis, on mobile web for logged-in users who opt into the [[Special:MobileOptions|advanced mode]]. This is the early release of the feature. Technical editors are invited to [https://night-mode-checker.wmcloud.org/ check for accessibility issues on wikis]. See [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|more detailed guidelines]].

'''Problems'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Kartographer|Kartographer]] maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;mapstyle=&quot;osm&quot;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;. This wasn't working in previews, creating the wrong impression that it wasn't supported. This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T362531]

'''Changes later this week'''

'''Recent changes'''
* On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T344214]
* If you use the [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|user-preference]] &quot;{{int:tog-uselivepreview}}&quot;, then the template-page feature &quot;{{int:Templatesandbox-editform-legend}}&quot; will now also work without reloading the page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T136907]
* [[mw:Special:Mylanguage/Extension:Kartographer|Kartographer]] maps can now specify an alternative text via the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;alt=&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute. This is identical in usage to the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;alt=&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Images#Syntax|image and gallery syntax]]. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328137]
* The old [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GuidedTour|Guided Tour]] for the &quot;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit Review Improvements/New filters for edit review|New Filters for Edit Review]]&quot; feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T217451]

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The [[{{#special:search}}]] results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T320295]

'''Future changes'''
* In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates|Learn more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T357706]

In your existing SQL queries:
*# Replace &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;JOIN pagelinks&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;JOIN linktarget&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;pl_&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;lt_&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; in the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;ON&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; statement

It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and [[phab:T13555|report any related problems]] so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a [[phab:T337286|Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles]] if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration.

* The software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265549]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The HTML used to render all headings [[mw:Heading HTML changes|is being changed to improve accessibility]]. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and [[phab:T13555|report any related problems]] so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a [[phab:T337286|Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles]] if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The HTML markup used for citations by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid|Parsoid]] changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mw-reference-text&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; class, Parsoid now also adds the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;reference-text&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; class for better compatibility with the legacy parser.

* Starting June 18, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#ref|Reference Edit Check]] will be deployed to [[phab:T361843|a new set of Wikipedias]]. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check#Reference_Check_A/B_Test|a test at 11 wikis]], the number of citations added [https://diff.wikimedia.org/?p=127553 more than doubled] when Reference Check was shown to people.

'''Recent changes'''
* Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading|on the project talkpage]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T361717]
* The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366515]

'''Problems'''
* You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools#Talk pages permalinking|copy permanent links to talk page comments]] by clicking on a comment's timestamp. [[mw:Talk pages project/Permalinks|This feature]] did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T356196]

'''Recent changes'''
* Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2023/Reading/Dark_mode|top-requested community wishes]], and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366364]
* Logged-in users can now set [[m:Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering-skin-skin-prefs|global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode]], thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341278] 
* If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new [[d:Q46441|CSS]] features and to send less code to all readers.

* Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]]. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature_summary|Growth features]] on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366458]
* Editors interested in language issues that are related to [[w:en:Unicode|Unicode standards]], can now discuss those topics at [[mw:Talk:WMF membership with Unicode Consortium|a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org]]. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/WMF membership with Unicode Consortium|member of the Unicode Consortium]], and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia}} in [[d:Q2891049|Mandailing]] ([[w:btm:|&lt;code&gt;w:btm:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368038]

* Thank you to [[mw:MediaWiki Product Insights/Contributor retention and growth/Celebration|all of the authors]] who have contributed to MediaWiki Core. As a result of these contributions, the [[mw:MediaWiki Product Insights/Contributor retention and growth|percentage of authors contributing more than 5 patches has increased by 25% since last year]], which helps ensure the sustainability of the platform for the Wikimedia projects.

'''Problems'''

&lt;section begin=&quot;technews-2024-W29&quot;/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;plainlinks&quot;&gt;
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/29|Translations]] are available.

'''Tech News survey'''
* Please [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/758713?lang=en help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey]. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 3 more days. The survey is covered by [https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal:Tech_News_Survey_2024_Privacy_Statement this privacy statement]. Some translations are available.

'''Recent changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Gerrit|Gerrit]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]], due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the [[mw:GitLab/Migration status|Migration status]] page.
* The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Proposal|Product and Technology Advisory Council]] (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Proposal#Joining the PTAC as a technical volunteer|Please apply here by August 10]].
* Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Anti Vandalism|Edit Patrol]] features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android#Contact us|you can contact the team]]. You can [[diffblog:2024/07/10/ِaddressing-vandalism-with-a-tap-the-journey-of-introducing-the-patrolling-feature-in-the-mobile-app/|read more about this project on Diff blog]].
* Editors who have access to [[m:Special:MyLanguage/The_Wikipedia_Library|The Wikipedia Library]] can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation [[phab:T368865|contacted]] them to restore access. You can read more about [[m:Tech/News/Recently_resolved_community_tasks|this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week]]. 

'''Changes later this week'''
* This week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-07 deployments|dark mode will be available on a number of Wikipedias]], both desktop and mobile, for logged-in and logged-out users. Interface admins and user script maintainers are encouraged to check gadgets and user scripts in the dark mode, to find any hard-coded colors and fix them. There are some [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Recommendations for night mode compatibility on Wikimedia wikis|recommendations for dark mode compatibility]] to help.

'''Future changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|share your opinions and questions on the project talk page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T348895]
* Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Cross-wiki upload|Commons:Cross-wiki upload]] and [[c:Commons:Village pump/Proposals#Deactivate cross-wiki uploads for new users|discussion at Commons:Village Pump]].

&lt;section begin=&quot;technews-2024-W30&quot;/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;plainlinks&quot;&gt;
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/30|Translations]] are available.

'''Feature News'''
* Stewards can now [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global_blocks|globally block]] accounts. Before [[phab:T17294|the change]] only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global_locks|Global locks]] (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|Temporary Accounts]] project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
* Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:FlaggedRevs|FlaggedRevs]] (also known as &quot;Pending Changes&quot;) is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Wikimedia's design system]]. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:MinervaNeue|Minerva skin]] was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Codex]] by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191156]
*  Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via [[m:Special:GlobalVanishRequest|GlobalVanishRequest]]. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367329]
* Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/10/%d9%90addressing-vandalism-with-a-tap-the-journey-of-introducing-the-patrolling-feature-in-the-mobile-app/ A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App] highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone. 
* Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the [https://doc.wikimedia.org/generated-data-platform/aqs/analytics-api/reference/commons.html Commons Impact Metrics] analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/19/commons-impact-metrics-now-available-via-data-dumps-and-api/]

'''Project Updates'''
*  Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist|Community Wishlist]]. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.

* Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/building-towards-a-robust-multilingual-knowledge-ecosystem-for-the-wikimedia-movement/ Diff]. 
* How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/ blog post] by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the [[m:Future Audiences#Objectives and Key Results|WMF Future Audience initiative]], where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a [[m:Future_Audiences/Experiments: conversational/generative AI|ChatGPT plugin]] and [[m:Future_Audiences/Experiment:Add a Fact|Add a Fact]], to help take Wikimedia into the future.

'''Feature news'''
* Editors using the Visual Editor in languages that use non-Latin characters for numbers, such as Hindi, Manipuri and Eastern Arabic, may notice some changes in the formatting of reference numbers. This is a side effect of preparing a new sub-referencing feature, and will also allow fixing some general numbering issues in Visual Editor. If you notice any related problems on your wiki, please share details at the [[m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|project talkpage]].

'''Bugs status'''
* Some logged-in editors were briefly unable to edit or load pages last week. [[phab:T370304|These errors]] were mainly due to the addition of new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Linter|linter]] rules which led to caching problems. Fixes have been applied and investigations are continuing.
* Editors can use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Information tool]] to get information about IP addresses. This tool is available as a Beta Feature in your preferences. The tool was not available for a few days last week, but is now working again. Thank you to Shizhao for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks#2024-07-25|28 other community-submitted tasks]] that were resolved last week.

'''Project updates'''
* There are new features and improvements to Phabricator from the Release Engineering and Collaboration Services teams, and some volunteers, including: the search systems, the new task creation system, the login systems, the translation setup which has resulted in support for more languages (thanks to Pppery), and fixes for many edge-case errors. You can [[phab:phame/post/view/316/iterative_improvements/|read details about these and other improvements in this summary]].
* There is an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|update on the Charts project]]. The team has decided which visualization library to use, which chart types to start focusing on, and where to store chart definitions.
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikivoyage}} in [[d:Q9056|Czech]] ([[voy:cs:|&lt;code&gt;voy:cs:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370905]

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Two new parser functions will be available this week: &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic_words#dir|#dir]]&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic_words#bcp47|#bcp47]]&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. These will reduce the need for &lt;code&gt;Template:Dir&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;Template:BCP47&lt;/code&gt; on Commons and allow us to [[phab:T343131|drop 100 million rows]] from the &quot;what links here&quot; database. Editors at any wiki that use these templates, can help by replacing the templates with these new functions. The templates at Commons will be updated during the Hackathon at Wikimania. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T359761][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366623]
* Communities can request the activation of the visual editor on entire namespaces where discussions sometimes happen (for instance ''Wikipedia:'' or ''Wikisource:'' namespaces) if they understand the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/FAQ#WPNS|known limitations]]. For discussions, users can already use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools|DiscussionTools]] in these namespaces.
* The tracking category &quot;Pages using Timeline&quot; has been renamed to &quot;Pages using the EasyTimeline extension&quot; [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translations?message=MediaWiki%3ATimeline-tracking-category&amp;namespace=8 in TranslateWiki]. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.

'''Project updates'''
* Editors who help to organize WikiProjects and similar on-wiki collaborations, are invited to share ideas and examples of successful collaborations with the Campaigns and Programs teams. You can fill out [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Campaigns/WikiProjects|a brief survey]] or share your thoughts [[m:Talk:Campaigns/WikiProjects|on the talkpage]]. The teams are particularly looking for details about successful collaborations on non-English wikis.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The new parser is being rolled out on {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikivoyage}} wikis over the next few months. The {{int:project-localized-name-enwikivoyage}} and {{int:project-localized-name-hewikivoyage}} were [[phab:T365367|switched]] to Parsoid last week.

'''Bugs status'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Your help is needed to check if any pages need to be moved or deleted. A maintenance script was run to clean up unreachable pages (due to Unicode issues or introduction of new namespaces/namespace aliases). The script tried to find appropriate names for the pages (e.g. by following the Unicode changes or by moving pages whose titles on Wikipedia start with &lt;code&gt;Talk:WP:&lt;/code&gt; so that their titles start with &lt;code&gt;Wikipedia talk:&lt;/code&gt;), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/]]&lt;/bdi&gt; instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed. A full log (including pages for which appropriate names could be found) is available in [[phab:P67388]].
* Editors who volunteer as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Mentorship|mentors]] to newcomers on their wiki are once again able to access lists of potential mentees who they can connect with to offer help and guidance. This functionality was restored thanks to [[phab:T372164|a bug fix]]. Thank you to Mbch331 for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 18 other community-submitted tasks that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Feature news'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Administrators can now test the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] feature on test2wiki. This was done to allow cross-wiki testing of temporary accounts, for when temporary accounts switch between projects. The feature was enabled on testwiki a few weeks ago. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Temporary Accounts is a project to create a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors which are no longer made public. Please [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|share your opinions and questions on the project talk page]].
* Later this week, editors at wikis that use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:FlaggedRevs|FlaggedRevs]] (also known as &quot;Pending Changes&quot;) may notice that the indicators at the top of articles have changed. This change makes the system more consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191156]

'''Bugs status'''
* Editors who use the 2010 wikitext editor, and use the Character Insert buttons, will [[phab:T361465|no longer]] experience problems with the buttons adding content into the edit-summary instead of the edit-window. You can read more about that, and 26 other community-submitted tasks that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Project updates'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Please review and vote on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/Focus areas|Focus Areas]], which are groups of wishes that share a problem. Focus Areas were created for the newly reopened Community Wishlist, which is now open year-round for submissions. The first batch of focus areas are specific to moderator workflows, around welcoming newcomers, minimizing repetitive tasks, and prioritizing tasks. Once volunteers have reviewed and voted on focus areas, the Foundation will then review and select focus areas for prioritization.
* Do you have a project and are willing to provide a three (3) month mentorship for an intern? [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Outreachy|Outreachy]] is a twice a year program for people to participate in a paid internship that will start in December 2024 and end in early March 2025, and they need mentors and projects to work on. Projects can be focused on coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, research). See the Outreachy page for more details, and a list of past projects since 2013.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Editors and volunteer developers interested in data visualisation can now test the new software for charts. Its early version is available on beta Commons and beta Wikipedia. This is an important milestone before making charts available on regular wikis. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|read more about this project update]] and help to test the charts.

'''Feature news'''
* Editors who use the [[{{#special:Unusedtemplates}}]] page can now filter out pages which are expected to be there permanently, such as sandboxes, test-cases, and templates that are always substituted. Editors can add the new magic word [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE|&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;]] to a template page to hide it from the listing. Thanks to Sophivorus and DannyS712 for these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184633]
* Editors who use the New Topic tool on discussion pages, will [[phab:T334163|now be reminded]] to add a section header, which should help reduce the quantity of newcomers who add sections without a header. You can read more about that, and {{formatnum:28}} other community-submitted tasks that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].
* Last week, some Toolforge tools had occasional connection problems. The cause is still being investigated, but the problems have been resolved for now. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373243]
* Translation administrators at multilingual wikis, when editing multiple translation units, can now easily mark which changes require updates to the translation. This is possible with the [[phab:T298852#10087288|new dropdown menu]].

'''Project updates'''
* A new draft text of a policy discussing the use of Wikimedia's APIs [[m:Special:MyLanguage/API Policy Update 2024|has been published on Meta-Wiki]]. The draft text does not reflect a change in policy around the APIs; instead, it is an attempt to codify existing API rules. Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on [[m:Talk:API Policy Update 2024|the proposed update’s talk page]] until September 13 or until those discussions have concluded.

* Starting this week, the standard [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|syntax highlighter]] will receive new colors that make them compatible in dark mode. This is the first of many changes to come as part of a major upgrade to syntax highlighting. You can learn more about what's to come on the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|help page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T365311][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259059]
* Editors of wikis using Wikidata will now be notified of only relevant Wikidata changes in their watchlist. This is because the Lua functions &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;entity:getSitelink()&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid)&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; will have their logic unified for tracking different aspects of sitelinks to reduce junk notifications from [[m:Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects/Projects/Watchlist Wikidata Sitelinks Tracking|inconsistent sitelinks tracking]].

'''Project updates'''
*  Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370962]
* Contributors of [[phab:T363538#10123348|11 Wikipedias]], including English will have a new &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;MOS&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; namespace added to their Wikipedias. This improvement ensures that links beginning with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;MOS:&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; (usually shortcuts to the [[w:en:Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]) are not broken by [[w:en:Mooré|Mooré]] Wikipedia (language code &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mos&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;).

'''Improvements and Maintenance'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Editors interested in templates can help by reading the latest Wishlist focus area, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/Focus areas/Template recall and discovery|Template recall and discovery]], and share your feedback on the talkpage. This input helps the Community Tech team to decide the right technical approach to build. Everyone is also encouraged to continue adding [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist|new wishes]].
* The new automated [[{{#special:NamespaceInfo}}]] page helps editors understand which [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespaces|namespaces]] exist on each wiki, and some details about how they are configured. Thanks to DannyS712 for these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263513]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Reference check|References Check]] is a feature that encourages editors to add a citation when they add a new paragraph to a Wikipedia article. For a short time, the corresponding tag &quot;Edit Check (references) activated&quot; was erroneously being applied to some edits outside of the main namespace. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373692]
* It is now possible for a wiki community to change the order in which a page’s categories are displayed on their wiki. By default, categories are displayed in the order they appear in the wikitext. Now, wikis with a consensus to do so can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Requesting wiki configuration changes|request]] a configuration change to display them in alphabetical order. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373480]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Tool authors can now access ToolsDB's [[wikitech:Portal:Data Services#ToolsDB|public databases]] from both [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Quarry|Quarry]] and [[wikitech:Superset|Superset]]. Those databases have always been accessible to every [[wikitech:Portal:Toolforge|Toolforge]] user, but they are now more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account. In addition, Quarry's internal database can now be [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Quarry#Querying Quarry's own database|queried from Quarry itself]]. This database contains information about all queries that are being run and starred by users in Quarry. This information was already public through the web interface, but you can now query it using SQL. You can read more about that, and {{formatnum:20}} other community-submitted tasks that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].
* Any pages or tools that still use the very old CSS classes &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mw-message-box&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; need to be updated. These old classes will be removed next week or soon afterwards. Editors can use a [https://global-search.toolforge.org/?q=mw-message-box&amp;regex=1&amp;namespaces=&amp;title= global-search] to determine what needs to be changed. It is possible to use the newer &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;cdx-message&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; group of classes as a replacement (see [https://doc.wikimedia.org/codex/latest/components/demos/message.html#css-only-version the relevant Codex documentation], and [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tech/Header&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=27449042 an example update]), but using locally defined onwiki classes would be best. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374499]

'''Technical project updates'''
* Next week, all Wikimedia wikis will be read-only for a few minutes. This will start on September 25 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1727276400 15:00 UTC]. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|This maintenance process also targets other services.]] The previous switchover took 3 minutes, and the Site Reliability Engineering teams use many tools to make sure that this essential maintenance work happens as quickly as possible.

* All wikis will be [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|read-only]] for a few minutes on Wednesday September 25 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1727276400 15:00 UTC]. Reading the wikis will not be interrupted, but editing will be paused. These twice-yearly processes allow WMF's site reliability engineering teams to remain prepared to keep the wikis functioning even in the event of a major interruption to one of our data centers.

'''Updates for editors'''
[[File:Add alt text from a halfsheet, with the article behind.png|thumb|A screenshot of the interface for the Alt Text suggested-edit feature]]
* Editors who use the iOS Wikipedia app in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Chinese, may see the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits project/Alt Text Experiment|Alt Text suggested-edit experiment]] after editing an article, or completing a suggested edit using &quot;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits project#Hypothesis 2 Add an Image Suggested Edit|Add an image]]&quot;. Alt-text helps people with visual impairments to read Wikipedia articles. The team aims to learn if adding alt-text to images is a task that editors can be successful with. Please share any feedback on [[mw:Talk:Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits project/Alt Text Experiment|the discussion page]].
* The Codex color palette has been updated with new and revised colors for the MediaWiki user interfaces. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Design System Team/Color/Design documentation#Updates|most noticeable changes]] for editors include updates for: dark mode colors for Links and for quiet Buttons (progressive and destructive), visited Link colors for both light and dark modes, and background colors for system-messages in both light and dark modes.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] It is now possible to include clickable wikilinks and external links inside code blocks. This includes links that are used within &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;syntaxhighlight&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tags and on code pages (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto and Sanitized CSS). Uses of template syntax &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{…}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; are also linked to the template page. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368166]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] From [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Enterprise|Wikimedia Enterprise]]: 
** The API now enables 5,000 on-demand API requests per month and twice-monthly HTML snapshots freely (gratis and libre). More information on the updates and also improvements to the software development kits (SDK) are explained on [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/enhanced-free-api/ the project's blog post]. While Wikimedia Enterprise APIs are designed for high-volume commercial reusers, this change enables many more community use-cases to be built on the service too.
** The Snapshot API (html dumps) have added beta Structured Contents endpoints ([https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/structured-contents-snapshot-api/ blog post on that]) as well as released two beta datasets (English and French Wikipedia) from that endpoint to Hugging Face for public use and feedback ([https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/hugging-face-dataset/ blog post on that]). These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.

'''In depth'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) is used to get answers to questions using the Wikidata data set. As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split|WDQS Graph Split project]], we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the &quot;[https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org scholarly]&quot; and &quot;[https://query-main.wikidata.org main]&quot; subgraphs of Wikidata. The [http://query.wikidata.org query.wikidata.org endpoint] will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph. For more information, please see [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS backend update/September 2024 scaling update|the announcement on Wikidata]].

&lt;section begin=&quot;technews-2024-W40&quot;/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;plainlinks&quot;&gt;
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/40|Translations]] are available.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Readers of [[phab:T375401|42 more wikis]] can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the [https://night-mode-checker.wmcloud.org/ night-mode-checker tool] if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Recommendations for night mode compatibility on Wikimedia wikis|recommendations page]] provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month.
* Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;?veaction=editsource&lt;/code&gt; to the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in [[Special:Preferences#mw-input-wpvisualeditor-newwikitext|your preferences]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T239796]
* For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the &quot;donate&quot; link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to &quot;Create an account&quot;. This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin. [[mw:Readers/2024 Reader and Donor Experiences#Donor Experiences (Key Result WE 3.2 and the related hypotheses)|Learn more]] about the changes related to donor experiences. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373585]
* The CampaignEvents extension provides tools for organizers to more easily manage events, communicate with participants, and promote their events on the wikis. The extension has been [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|enabled]] on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki. [[w:zh:Wikipedia:互助客栈/其他#引進CampaignEvents擴充功能|Chinese Wikipedia has decided]] to enable the extension, and discussions on the extension are in progress [[w:es:Wikipedia:Votaciones/2024/Sobre la política de Organizadores de Eventos|on Spanish Wikipedia]] and [[d:Wikidata:Project chat#Enabling the CampaignEvents Extention on Wikidata|on Wikidata]]. To learn how to enable the extension on your wiki, you can visit [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents|the CampaignEvents page on Meta-Wiki]].
* View all {{formatnum:22}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:22|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should [[wikitech:Wikitech/SUL-migration|check if any action is required]] for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis.

'''In depth'''
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|server switch]] was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of [[wikitech:Switch Datacenter#Past Switches|only 2 minutes 46 seconds]]. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes.

'''Meetings and events'''
* October 4–6: [[m:Special:MyLanguage/WikiIndaba conference 2024|WikiIndaba Conference's Hackathon]] in Johannesburg, South Africa
* November 4–6: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024|MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024]] in Vienna, Austria

Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T40932]
* Customized copyright footer messages on all wikis will be updated. The new versions will use wikitext markup instead of requiring editing raw HTML. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T375789]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Later this month, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] will be rolled out on several pilot wikis. The final list of the wikis will be published in the second half of the month. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on [[phab:T376499|these 11 wikis]], and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|Guidance on how to update the code is available]].
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Rate limiting has been enabled for the code review tools [[Wikitech:Gerrit|Gerrit]] and [[Wikitech:GitLab|GitLab]] to address ongoing issues caused by malicious traffic and scraping.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools|DiscussionTools]], which is used on any regular talk page. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured Discussions/Deprecation#Deprecation timeline|A first set of wikis]] are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Structured_Discussions/Deprecation][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370722]
* WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A [[phab:T332342|change last week]] on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;''hastemplate''&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;''incategory''&lt;/bdi&gt; keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Editors who use the Toolforge tool [[toolforge:copyvios|Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector]] will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the &quot;search engine&quot; option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Authentication_is_now_required_for_search_engine_checks_on_Earwig's_Copyvio_Tool]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator|Phabricator]] users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator/Help#Using email|Sending email to Phabricator]] has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T356077]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;bdi&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Stable interface policy/Frontend#What is not stable?|not recommended]] and might break at any time.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Mobile Apps team has released an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Navigation Refresh#Phase 1: Creating a user Profile Menu (T373714)|update]] to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the &quot;Donate&quot; button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Navigation Refresh|navigation refresh]] to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.
[[File:IOS App Navigation refresh first phase 05.png|thumb|iOS Wikipedia App's profile menu and contents]]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments|Content Discovery Experiments page]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Newsletter:Web team's projects|subscribe to their newsletter]].
* Later this month, logged-out editors of [[phab:T376499|these 12 wikis]] will start to have [[mw:Special:Mylanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/User account types|type of user account]]. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|Guidance on how to update the code is available]].

* It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new [[f:Z6005|Wikidata lexeme type]] launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2024-10-17#Function of the Week: select representation from lexeme|the latest Wikifunctions newsletter]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;{{[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##timef|#timef]]:…}}&lt;/code&gt; parser function. For example, &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#timef:now|date|en}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; will show as &quot;&lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;{{#timef:now|date|en}}&lt;/bdi&gt;&quot;. Previously, &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#time:…}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;#timef&lt;/code&gt; (or &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;#timefl&lt;/code&gt; for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta.

The Guided Tours extension now works with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Dark mode|dark mode]]. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set &lt;code&gt;emitTransitionOnStep&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt; to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag &lt;code&gt;allowAutomaticBack&lt;/code&gt; to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73927#10241528]

* Stewards can now make [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global blocks|global account blocks]] cause global [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblocks]]. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|Temporary Accounts]] project. You can read more about the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|progress on key features for temporary accounts]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368949]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Two new parser functions were added this week. The &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#interwikilink|#interwikilink]]&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; function adds an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links#Interwiki links|interwiki link]] and the &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#interlanguagelink|#interlanguagelink]]&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; function adds an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links#Interlanguage links|interlanguage link]]. These parser functions are useful on wikis where namespaces conflict with interwiki prefixes. For example, links beginning with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;MOS:&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; on English Wikipedia [[phab:T363538|conflict with the &lt;code&gt;mos&lt;/code&gt; language code prefix of Mooré Wikipedia]].
* Starting this week, Wikimedia wikis no longer support connections using old RSA-based HTTPS certificates, specifically rsa-2048. This change is to improve security for all users. Some older, unsupported browser or smartphone devices will be unable to connect; Instead, they will display a connectivity error. See the [[wikitech:HTTPS/Browser_Recommendations|HTTPS Browser Recommendations page]] for more-detailed information.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* In late February, temporary accounts will be rolled out on at least 10 large wikis. This deployment will have a significant effect on the community-maintained code. This is about Toolforge tools, bots, gadgets, and user scripts that use IP address data or that are available for logged-out users. The Trust and Safety Product team wants to identify this code, monitor it, and assist in updating it ahead of the deployment to minimize disruption to workflows. The team asks technical editors and volunteer developers to help identify such tools by adding them to [[mw:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers/Impacted tools|this list]]. In addition, review the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|updated documentation]] to learn how to adjust the tools.

* Technical documentation contributors can find updated resources, and new ways to connect with each other and the Wikimedia Technical Documentation Team, at the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Documentation|Documentation hub]] on MediaWiki.org. This page links to: resources for writing and improving documentation, a new &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;#wikimedia-techdocs&lt;/bdi&gt; IRC channel on libera.chat, a listing of past and upcoming documentation events, and ways to request a documentation consultation or review. If you have any feedback or ideas for improvements to the documentation ecosystem, please [[mw:Wikimedia Technical Documentation Team#Contact us|contact the Technical Documentation Team]].

'''Updates for editors'''
[[File:Edit Check on Desktop.png|thumb|Layout change for the Edit Check feature]]
* Later this week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check|Edit Check]] will be relocated to a sidebar on desktop. Edit check is the feature for new editors to help them follow policies and guidelines. This layout change creates space to present people with [[mw:Edit check#1 November 2024|new Checks]] that appear ''while'' they are typing. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check#Reference Check A/B Test|initial results]] show newcomers encountering Edit Check are 2.2 times more likely to publish a new content edit that includes a reference and is not reverted.
* The Chart extension, which enables editors to create data visualizations, was successfully made available on MediaWiki.org and three pilot wikis (Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedias). You can see a working examples [[testwiki:Charts|on Testwiki]] and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|the November project update]] for more details.
* Translators in wikis where the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation/Section translation#Try the tool|mobile experience of Content Translation is available]], can now discover articles in Wikiproject campaigns of their interest from the &quot;[https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ContentTranslation&amp;campaign=specialcx&amp;filter-type=automatic&amp;filter-id=collections&amp;active-list=suggestions&amp;from=es&amp;to=en All collection]&quot; category in the articles suggestion feature. Wikiproject Campaign organizers can use this feature, to help translators to discover articles of interest, by adding the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;page-collection&gt; &lt;/page-collection&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tag to their campaign article list page on Meta-wiki. This will make those articles discoverable in the Content Translation tool. For more detailed information on how to use the tool and tag, please refer to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Translation suggestions: Topic-based &amp; Community-defined lists/How to use the features|the step-by-step guide]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378958]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Nuke|Nuke]] feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, now has a [[phab:T376379#10310998|multiselect filter for namespace selection]]. This enables users to select multiple specific namespaces, instead of only one or all, when fetching pages for deletion.
* The Nuke feature also now [[phab:T364225#10371365|provides links]] to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions. Thanks to Chlod and the Moderator Tools team for both of these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T364225#10371365]
* The Editing Team is working on making it easier to populate citations from archive.org using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|Citoid]] tool, the auto-filled citation generator. They are asking communities to add two parameters preemptively, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;archiveUrl&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;archiveDate&lt;/code&gt;, within the TemplateData for each citation template using Citoid. You can see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACite_web%2Fdoc&amp;diff=1261320172&amp;oldid=1260788022 example of a change in a template], and a [https://global-search.toolforge.org/?namespaces=10&amp;q=%5C%22citoid%5C%22%3A%20%5C%7B&amp;regex=1&amp;title= list of all relevant templates]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374831]
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikivoyage}} in [[d:Q9240|Indonesian]] ([[voy:id:|&lt;code&gt;voy:id:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380726]
* Last week, all wikis had problems serving pages to logged-in users and some logged-out users for 30–45 minutes. This was caused by a database problem, and investigation is ongoing. [https://www.wikimediastatus.net/incidents/3g2ckc7bp6l9]

For example, a bug in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Add a link|Add Link]] feature has been fixed. Previously, the list of sections which are excluded from Add Link was partially ignored in certain cases. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380455][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380329]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Codex]], the design system for Wikimedia, now has an early-stage [[git:design/codex-php|implementation in PHP]]. It is available for general use in MediaWiki extensions and Toolforge apps through [https://packagist.org/packages/wikimedia/codex Composer], with use in MediaWiki core coming soon. More information is available in [[wmdoc:design-codex-php/main/index.html|the documentation]]. Thanks to Doğu for the inspiration and many contributions to the library. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379662]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/ Wikimedia REST API] users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. On December 4, the MediaWiki Interfaces team began rerouting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content endpoints on [[testwiki:|testwiki]] from RESTbase to comparable MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The team encourages active users of these endpoints to verify their tool's behavior on testwiki and raise any concerns on the related [[phab:T374683|Phabricator ticket]] before the end of the year, as they intend to roll out the same change across all Wikimedia projects in early January. These changes are part of the work to replace the outdated [[mw:RESTBase/deprecation|RESTBase]] system.
* The [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/986172 2024 Developer Satisfaction Survey] is seeking the opinions of the Wikimedia developer community. Please take the survey if you have any role in developing software for the Wikimedia ecosystem. The survey is open until 3 January 2025, and has an associated [[foundation:Legal:Developer Satisfaction Survey 2024 Privacy Statement|privacy statement]].
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar]

'''Meetings and events'''
* The next meeting in the series of [[c:Commons:WMF support for Commons/Commons community calls|Wikimedia Foundation discussions with the Wikimedia Commons community]] will take place on [[m:Event:Commons community discussion - 12 December 2024 08:00 UTC|December 12 at 8:00 UTC]] and [[m:Event:Commons community discussion - 12_December 2024 16:00 UTC|at 16:00 UTC]].

The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] offers organizers features like event registration management, event/wikiproject promotion, finding potential participants, and more - all directly on-wiki. If you are an organizer or think your community would benefit from this extension, start a discussion to enable it on your wiki today. To learn more about how to enable this extension on your wiki, visit the [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment status#How to Request the CampaignEvents Extension for your wiki|deployment status page]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* Users of the iOS Wikipedia App in Italy and Mexico on the Italian, Spanish, and English Wikipedias, can see a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review|personalized Year in Review]] with insights based on their reading and editing history.
* Users of the Android Wikipedia App in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia can see the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Rabbit Holes|Rabbit Holes]] feature. This feature shows a suggested search term in the Search bar based on the current article being viewed, and a suggested reading list generated from the user’s last two visited articles.
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|global reminder bot]] is now active and running on nearly 800 wikis. This service reminds most users holding temporary rights when they are about to expire, so that they can renew should they want to. See [[m:Global reminder bot/Technical details|the technical details page]] for more information.
* The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 13 January 2025 because of the end of year holidays. Thank you to all of the translators, and people who submitted content or feedback, this year.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:27}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:27|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a bug was [[phab:T374988|fixed]] in the Android Wikipedia App which had caused translatable SVG images to show the wrong language when they were tapped.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3#Deployment|the SUL3 project page]] for more details and a timeline.

'''Updates for editors'''
* On wikis with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:PageAssessments|PageAssessments]] installed, you can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:PageAssessments#Search|filter search results]] to pages in a given WikiProject by using the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;inproject:&lt;/code&gt; keyword.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting [[phab:T374683|some page content endpoints]] from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the [[phab:project/view/6931/|MediaWiki Interfaces Team]] in Phabricator if they arise.
* Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. [[wikitech:Wikimedia Cloud Services team/EnhancementProposals/Toolforge UI|Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI]]. 
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/For Developers#Identifying the user|OAuth 1]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/For Developers#Identifying the user 2|OAuth 2]] returned a JSON object with an integer in its &lt;code&gt;sub&lt;/code&gt; field, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T382139]
* Many wikis currently use [[:mw:Parsoid/Parser Unification/Cite CSS|Cite CSS]] to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to ''not'' clean up your &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Common.css]]&lt;/bdi&gt; until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370027]

'''Meetings and events'''

'''Updates for editors'''
* Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Nuke|Extension:Nuke]]. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380846]
* On [[phab:P72148|wikis that use]] the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Patrolled edits|Patrolled edits]] feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as &quot;manually patrolled&quot; instead of &quot;autopatrolled&quot;, which is more accurate. Some editors that use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:New filters for edit review/Filtering|filters]] on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings.

* iOS Wikipedia App users worldwide can now access a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review/How your data is used|personalized Year in Review]] feature, which provides insights based on their reading and editing history on Wikipedia. This project is part of a broader effort to help welcome new readers as they discover and interact with encyclopedic content.
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Edit patrollers now have a new feature available that can highlight potentially problematic new pages. When a page is created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted, a tag ('Recreated') will now be added, which users can filter for in [[{{#special:RecentChanges}}]] and [[{{#special:NewPages}}]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T56145]
* Later this week, there will be a new warning for editors if they attempt to create a redirect that links to another redirect (a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Redirects#Double redirects|double redirect]]). The feature will recommend that they link directly to the second redirect's target page. Thanks to the user SomeRandomDeveloper for this improvement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326056]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia wikis allow [[w:en:WebAuthn|WebAuthn]]-based second factor checks (such as hardware tokens) during login, but the feature is [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Miscellaneous/Fix security key (WebAuthn) support|fragile]] and has very few users.

There will also be one field rename: in the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mediawiki_user_history&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; dump, the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;anonymous&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; field will be renamed to &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;is_anonymous&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;. The changes will take effect with the next release of the dumps in February. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/LKMFDS62TXGDN6L56F4ABXYLN7CSCQDI/]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Editors who use the &quot;Special characters&quot; editing-toolbar menu can now see the 32 special characters you have used most recently, across editing sessions on that wiki. This change should help make it easier to find the characters you use most often. The feature is in both the 2010 wikitext editor and VisualEditor. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110722]
* Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor can now create sublists with correct indentation by selecting the line(s) you want to indent and then clicking the toolbar buttons.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380438] You can now also insert &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tags using a new toolbar button.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383010] Thanks to user stjn for these improvements.
* Help is needed to ensure the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]] works properly on each wiki.
** (1) Administrators should update the local versions of the page &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json&lt;/code&gt; to include entries for &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;preprint&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;standard&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;dataset&lt;/code&gt;; Here are example diffs to replicate [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACitoid-template-type-map.json&amp;diff=1189164774&amp;oldid=1165783565 for 'preprint'] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACitoid-template-type-map.json&amp;diff=1270832208&amp;oldid=1270828390 for 'standard' and 'dataset'].
** (2.1) If the citoid map in the citation template used for these types of references is missing, [[mediawikiwiki:Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki#Step 2.a: Create a 'citoid' maps value for each citation template|one will need to be added]]. (2.2) If the citoid map does exist, the TemplateData will need to be updated to include new field names. Here are example updates [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACitation%2Fdoc&amp;diff=1270829051&amp;oldid=1262470053 for 'preprint'] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACitation%2Fdoc&amp;diff=1270831369&amp;oldid=1270829480 for 'standard' and 'dataset']. The new fields that may need to be supported are &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;archiveID&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;identifier&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;repository&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;organization&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;repositoryLocation&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;committee&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;versionNumber&lt;/code&gt;. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383666]
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia/en}} in [[d:Q15637215|Central Kanuri]] ([[w:knc:|&lt;code&gt;w:knc:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T385181]

'''Weekly highlight'''

* The Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) has published [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/February 2025 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|a draft of their recommendations]] for the Wikimedia Foundation's Product and Technology department. They have recommended focusing on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/February 2025 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback/Mobile experiences|mobile experiences]], particularly contributions. They request community [[m:Talk:Product and Technology Advisory Council/February 2025 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|feedback at the talk page]] by 21 February.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The &quot;Special pages&quot; portlet link will be moved from the &quot;Toolbox&quot; into the &quot;Navigation&quot; section of the main menu's sidebar by default. This change is because the Toolbox is intended for tools relating to the current page, not tools relating to the site, so the link will be more logically and consistently located. To modify this behavior and update CSS styling, administrators can follow the instructions at [[phab:T385346|T385346]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333211]
* As part of this year's work around improving the ways readers discover content on the wikis, the Web team will be running an experiment with a small number of readers that displays some suggestions for related or interesting articles within the search bar. Please check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments#Experiment 1: Display article recommendations in more prominent locations, search|the project page]] for more information.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Template editors who use TemplateStyles can now customize output for users with specific accessibility needs by using accessibility related media queries (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion prefers-reduced-motion]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-transparency prefers-reduced-transparency]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-contrast prefers-contrast]&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/forced-colors forced-colors]&lt;/code&gt;).

For example, the global blocks log will now be shown directly on the {{#special:CentralAuth}} page, similarly to global locks, to simplify the workflows for stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377024]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Wikidata [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Default values for labels and aliases|now supports a special language as a &quot;default for all languages&quot;]] for labels and aliases. This is to avoid excessive duplication of the same information across many languages. If your Wikidata queries use labels, you may need to update them as some existing labels are getting removed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T312511]
* The function &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;getDescription&lt;/code&gt; was invoked on every Wiki page read and accounts for ~2.5% of a page's total load time. The calculated value will now be cached, reducing load on Wikimedia servers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383660]
* As part of the RESTBase deprecation [[mw:RESTBase/deprecation|effort]], the &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;/page/related&lt;/code&gt; endpoint has been blocked as of February 6, 2025, and will be removed soon. This timeline was chosen to align with the deprecation schedules for older Android and iOS versions. The stable alternative is the &quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;morelike&lt;/code&gt;&quot; action API in MediaWiki, and [[gerrit:c/mediawiki/services/mobileapps/+/982154/13/pagelib/src/transform/FooterReadMore.js|a migration example]] is available. The MediaWiki Interfaces team [[phab:T376297|can be contacted]] for any questions.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Communities using growth tools can now showcase one event on the &lt;code&gt;{{#special:Homepage}}&lt;/code&gt; for newcomers. This feature will help newcomers to be informed about editing activities they can participate in. Administrators can create a new event to showcase at &lt;code&gt;{{#special:CommunityConfiguration}}&lt;/code&gt;. To learn more about this feature, please read [[diffblog:2025/02/12/community-updates-module-connecting-newcomers-to-your-initiatives/|the Diff post]], have a look [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Community updates module|at the documentation]], or contact [[mw:Talk:Growth|the Growth team]].

'''Updates for editors'''
[[File:Page Frame Features on desktop.png|thumb|Highlighted talk pages improvements]]
* Starting next week, talk pages at these wikis – {{int:project-localized-name-eswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-frwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-itwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-jawiki/en}} – will get [[diffblog:2024/05/02/making-talk-pages-better-for-everyone/|a new design]]. This change was extensively tested as a Beta feature and is the last step of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Feature summary|talk pages improvements]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379102]
* You can now navigate to view a redirect page directly from its action pages, such as the history page. Previously, you were forced to first go to the redirect target. This change should help editors who work with redirects a lot. Thanks to user stjn for this improvement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T5324]
* When a Cite reference is reused many times, wikis currently show either numbers like &quot;1.23&quot; or localized alphabetic markers like &quot;a b c&quot; in the reference list. Previously, if there were so many reuses that the alphabetic markers were all used, [[MediaWiki:Cite error references no backlink label|an error message]] was displayed.  As part of the work to [[phab:T383036|modernize Cite customization]], these errors will no longer be shown and instead the backlinks will fall back to showing numeric markers like &quot;1.23&quot; once the alphabetic markers are all used.
* The log entries for each change to an editor's user-groups are now clearer by specifying exactly what has changed, instead of the plain before and after listings. Translators can [[phab:T369466|help to update the localized versions]]. Thanks to user Msz2001 for these improvements.
* A new filter has been added to the [[{{#special:Nuke}}]] tool, which allows administrators to mass delete pages, to enable users to filter for pages in a range of page sizes (in bytes). This allows, for example, deleting pages only of a certain size or below. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378488]
* Non-administrators can now check which pages are able to be deleted using the [[{{#special:Nuke}}]] tool. Thanks to user MolecularPilot for this and the previous improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T376378]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:25}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:25|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a bug was fixed in the configuration for the AV1 video file format, which enables these files to play again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T382193]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Parsoid Read Views is going to be rolling out to most Wiktionaries over the next few weeks, following the successful transition of Wikivoyage to Parsoid Read Views last year. For more information, see the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parsoid/Parser Unification]] project page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T385923][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T371640]
* Developers of tools that run on-wiki should note that &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.Uri&lt;/code&gt; is deprecated. Tools requiring &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.Uri&lt;/code&gt; must explicitly declare &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mediawiki.Uri&lt;/code&gt; as a ResourceLoader dependency, and should migrate to the browser native &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;URL&lt;/code&gt; API soon.

* Administrators can now customize how the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/User language|Babel feature]] creates categories using [[{{#special:CommunityConfiguration/Babel}}]]. They can rename language categories, choose whether they should be auto-created, and adjust other settings. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374348]
* The &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[https://www.wikimedia.org/ wikimedia.org]&lt;/bdi&gt; portal has been updated – and is receiving some ongoing improvements – to modernize and improve the accessibility of our portal pages. It now has better support for mobile layouts, updated wording and links, and better language support. Additionally, all of the Wikimedia project portals, such as &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[https://wikibooks.org wikibooks.org]&lt;/bdi&gt;, now support dark mode when a reader is using that system setting. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373204][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368221][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Project_portals]
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wiktionary/en}} in [[d:Q33965|Santali]] ([[wikt:sat:|&lt;code&gt;wikt:sat:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386619]

'''Updates for editors'''
* All logged-in editors using the mobile view can now edit a full page. The &quot;{{int:Minerva-page-actions-editfull}}&quot; link is accessible from the &quot;{{int:minerva-page-actions-overflow}}&quot; menu in the toolbar. This was previously only available to editors using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Advanced mobile contributions|Advanced mobile contributions]] setting. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T387180]
* Interface administrators can now help to remove the deprecated Cite CSS code matching &quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;mw-ref&lt;/code&gt;&quot; from their local &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Common.css]]&lt;/bdi&gt;. The list of wikis in need of cleanup, and the code to remove, [https://global-search.toolforge.org/?q=mw-ref%5B%5E-a-z%5D&amp;regex=1&amp;namespaces=8&amp;title=.*css can be found with this global search] and in [https://ace.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&amp;oldid=145662#L-139--L-144 this example], and you can learn more about how to help on the [[mw:Parsoid/Parser Unification/Cite CSS|CSS migration project page]]. The Cite footnote markers (&quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[1]&lt;/code&gt;&quot;) are now rendered by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid|Parsoid]], and the deprecated CSS is no longer needed. The CSS for backlinks (&quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;mw:referencedBy&lt;/code&gt;&quot;) should remain in place for now. This cleanup is expected to cause no visible changes for readers. Please help to remove this code before March 20, after which the development team will do it for you.
* When editors embed a file (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[File:MediaWiki.png]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;) on a page that is protected with cascading protection, the software will no longer restrict edits to the file description page, only to new file uploads.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T24521] In contrast, transcluding a file description page (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{:File:MediaWiki.png}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;) will now restrict edits to the page.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T62109]
* When editors revert a file to an earlier version it will now require the same permissions as ordinarily uploading a new version of the file. The software now checks for 'reupload' or 'reupload-own' rights,[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T304474] and respects cascading protection.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140010]
* When administrators are listing pages for deletion with the Nuke tool, they can now also list associated talk pages and redirects for deletion, alongside pages created by the target, rather than needing to manually delete these pages afterwards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95797]
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/03|previously noted]] update to Single User Login, which will accommodate browser restrictions on cross-domain cookies by moving login and account creation to a central domain, will now roll out to all users during March and April. The team plans to enable it for all new account creation on [[wikitech:Deployments/Train#Tuesday|Group0]] wikis this week. See [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3#Deployment|the SUL3 project page]] for more details and an updated timeline.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Editors who use password managers at multiple wikis may notice changes in the future. The way that our wikis provide information to password managers about reusing passwords across domains has recently been updated, so some password managers might now offer you login credentials that you saved for a different Wikimedia site. Some password managers already did this, and are now doing it for more Wikimedia domains. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|SUL3 project]] which aims to improve how our unified login works, and to keep it compatible with ongoing changes to the web-browsers we use. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T385520][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384844]
* The Wikipedia Apps Team is inviting interested users to help improve Wikipedia’s offline and limited internet use. After discussions in [[m:Afrika Baraza|Afrika Baraza]] and the last [[m:Special:MyLanguage/ESEAP Hub/Meetings|ESEAP call]], key challenges like search, editing, and offline access are being explored, with upcoming focus groups to dive deeper into these topics. All languages are welcome, and interpretation will be available. Want to share your thoughts? [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Improving Wikipedia Mobile Apps for Offline &amp; Limited Internet Use|Join the discussion]] or email &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;aramadan@wikimedia.org&lt;/bdi&gt;!
* All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 19. This is planned at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1742392800 14:00 UTC]. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks.

* The latest quarterly [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Newsletters/33|Growth newsletter]] is available. It includes: the launch of the Community Updates module, the most recent changes in Community Configuration, and the upcoming test of in-article suggestions for first-time editors.
* An old API that was previously used in the Android Wikipedia app is being removed at the end of March. There are no current software uses, but users of the app with a version that is older than 6 months by the time of removal (2025-03-31), will no longer have access to the Suggested Edits feature, until they update their app. You can [[diffblog:2025/02/24/sunset-of-wikimedia-recommendation-api/|read more details about this change]].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Twice a year, around the equinoxes, the Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team performs [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|a datacenter server switchover]], redirecting all traffic from one primary server to its backup. This provides reliability in case of a crisis, as we can always fall back on the other datacenter. [http://listen.hatnote.com/ Thanks to the Listen to Wikipedia] tool, you can hear the switchover take place: Before it begins, you'll hear the steady stream of edits; Then, as the system enters a brief read-only phase, the sound stops for a couple of minutes, before resuming after the switchover. You can [[diffblog:2025/03/12/hear-that-the-wikis-go-silent-twice-a-year/|read more about the background and details of this process on the Diff blog]]. If you want to keep an ear out for the next server switchover, listen to the wikis on [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1742392800 March 19 at 14:00 UTC].

'''Updates for editors'''

* The [https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ContentTranslation&amp;filter-type=automatic&amp;filter-id=previous-edits&amp;active-list=suggestions&amp;from=en&amp;to=es improved Content Translation tool dashboard] is now available in [[phab:T387820|10 Wikipedias]] and will be available for all Wikipedias [[phab:T387821|soon]]. With [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation#Improved translation experience|the unified dashboard]], desktop users can now: Translate new sections of an article; Discover and access topic-based [https://ig.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ContentTranslation&amp;active-list=suggestions&amp;from=en&amp;to=ig&amp;filter-type=automatic&amp;filter-id=previous-edits article suggestion filters] (initially available only for mobile device users); Discover and access the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Translation suggestions: Topic-based &amp; Community-defined lists|Community-defined lists]] filter, also known as &quot;Collections&quot;, from wiki-projects and campaigns.
* On Wikimedia Commons, a [[c:Commons:WMF support for Commons/Upload Wizard Improvements#Improve category selection|new system to select the appropriate file categories]] has been introduced: if a category has one or more subcategories, users will be able to click on an arrow that will open the subcategories directly within the form, and choose the correct one. The parent category name will always be shown on top, and it will always be possible to come back to it. This should decrease the amount of work for volunteers in fixing/creating new categories. The change is also available on mobile. These changes are part of planned improvements to the UploadWizard.
* The Community Tech team is seeking wikis to join a pilot for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|Multiblocks]] feature and a refreshed Special:Block page in late March. Multiblocks enables administrators to impose multiple different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. If you are an admin or steward and would like us to discuss joining the pilot with your community, please leave a message on the [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|project talk page]].
* Starting March 25, the Editing team will test a new feature for Edit Check at [[phab:T384372|12 Wikipedias]]: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Multi-check|Multi-Check]]. Half of the newcomers on these wikis will see all [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#ref|Reference Checks]] during their edit session, while the other half will continue seeing only one. The goal of this test is to see if users are confused or discouraged when shown multiple Reference Checks (when relevant) within a single editing session. At these wikis, the tags used on edits that show References Check will be simplified, as multiple tags could be shown within a single edit. Changes to the tags are documented [[phab:T373949|on Phabricator]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379131]
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|Global reminder bot]], which is a service for notifying users that their temporary user-rights are about to expire, now supports using the localized name of the user-rights group in the message heading. Translators can see the [[m:Global reminder bot/Translation|listing of existing translations and documentation]] to check if their language needs updating or creation.
* The [[Special:GlobalPreferences|GlobalPreferences]] gender setting, which is used for how the software should refer to you in interface messages, now works as expected by overriding the local defaults. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386584]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Later this week, the way that Codex styles are loaded will be changing. There is a small risk that this may result in unstyled interface message boxes on certain pages. User generated content (e.g. templates) is not impacted. Gadgets may be impacted. If you see any issues [[phab:T388847|please report them]]. See the linked task for details, screenshots, and documentation on how to fix any affected gadgets.

Please share your feedback on the talkpage, in any language, ideally before the end of April.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] will be released to multiple wikis (see [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status#Global Deployment Plan|deployment plan]] for details) in April 2025, and the team has begun the process of engaging communities on the identified wikis. The extension provides tools to organize, manage, and promote collaborative activities (like events, edit-a-thons, and WikiProjects) on the wikis. The extension has three tools: [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaboration list|Collaboration List]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Invitation list|Invitation Lists]]. It is currently on 13 Wikipedias, including English Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, and Spanish Wikipedia, as well as Wikidata. Questions or requests can be directed to the [[mw:Help talk:Extension:CampaignEvents|extension talk page]] or in Phabricator (with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;#campaigns-product-team&lt;/bdi&gt; tag).
* Starting the week of March 31st, wikis will be able to set which user groups can view private registrants in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]], as part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents]] extension. By default, event organizers and the local wiki admins will be able to see private registrants. This is a change from the current behavior, in which only event organizers can see private registrants. Wikis can change the default setup by [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Requesting wiki configuration changes|requesting a configuration change]] in Phabricator (and adding the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;#campaigns-product-team&lt;/bdi&gt; tag). Participants of past events can cancel their registration at any time.
* Administrators at wikis that have a customized &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]&lt;/bdi&gt; should check that it contains an entry for the {{int:specialpages}} listing. If it does not, they should add it using &lt;code dir=ltr style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;* specialpages-url|specialpages&lt;/code&gt;. Wikis with a default sidebar will see the link moved from the page toolbox into the sidebar menu in April. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T388927]
* The Minerva skin (mobile web) combines both Notice and Alert notifications within the bell icon ([[File:OOjs UI icon bell.svg|16px|link=|class=skin-invert]]). There was a long-standing bug where an indication for new notifications was only shown if you had unseen Alerts. This bug is now fixed. In the future, Minerva users will notice a counter atop the bell icon when you have 1 or more unseen Notices and/or Alerts. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T344029]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* VisualEditor has introduced a [[mw:VisualEditor/Hooks|new client-side hook]] for developers to use when integrating with the VisualEditor target lifecycle. This hook should replace the existing lifecycle-related hooks, and be more consistent between different platforms. In addition, the new hook will apply to uses of VisualEditor outside of just full article editing, allowing gadgets to interact with the editor in DiscussionTools as well. The Editing Team intends to deprecate and eventually remove the old lifecycle hooks, so any use cases that this new hook does not cover would be of interest to them and can be [[phab:T355555|shared in the task]].
* Developers who use the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.Api&lt;/code&gt; JavaScript library, can now identify the tool using it with the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;userAgent&lt;/code&gt; parameter: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;var api = new mw.Api( { userAgent: 'GadgetNameHere/1.0.1' } );&lt;/code&gt;. If you maintain a gadget or user script, please set a user agent, because it helps with library and server maintenance and with differentiating between legitimate and illegitimate traffic.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Editing team is working on a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit Check|Edit check]]: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check#26 March 2025|Peacock check]]. This check's goal is to identify non-neutral terms while a user is editing a wikipage, so that they can be informed that their edit should perhaps be changed before they publish it. This project is at the early stages, and the team is looking for communities' input: [[phab:T389445|in this Phabricator task]], they are gathering on-wiki policies, templates used to tag non-neutral articles, and the terms (jargon and keywords) used in edit summaries for the languages they are currently researching. You can participate by editing the table on Phabricator, commenting on the task, or directly messaging [[m:user:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek (WMF)]].
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|Single User Login]] has now been updated on all wikis to move login and account creation to a central domain. This makes user login compatible with browser restrictions on cross-domain cookies, which have prevented users of some browsers from staying logged in.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting on March 31st, the MediaWiki Interfaces team will begin a limited release of generated OpenAPI specs and a SwaggerUI-based sandbox experience for [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:REST API|MediaWiki REST APIs]]. They invite developers from a limited group of non-English Wikipedia communities (Arabic, German, French, Hebrew, Interlingua, Dutch, Chinese) to review the documentation and experiment with the sandbox in their preferred language. In addition to these specific Wikipedia projects, the sandbox and OpenAPI spec will be available on the [[testwiki:Special:RestSandbox|on the test wiki REST Sandbox special page]] for developers with English as their preferred language. During the preview period, the MediaWiki Interfaces Team also invites developers to [[mw:MediaWiki Interfaces Team/Feature Feedback/REST Sandbox|share feedback about your experience]]. The preview will last for approximately 2 weeks, after which the sandbox and OpenAPI specs will be made available across all wiki projects.

'''In depth'''
* Sometimes a small, [[gerrit:c/operations/cookbooks/+/1129184|one line code change]] can have great significance: in this case, it means that for the first time in years we're able to run all of the stack serving &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[http://maps.wikimedia.org/ maps.wikimedia.org]&lt;/bdi&gt; - a host dedicated to serving our wikis and their multi-lingual maps needs - from a single core datacenter, something we test every time we perform a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|datacenter switchover]]. This is important because it means that in case one of our datacenters is affected by a catastrophe, we'll still be able to serve the site. This change is the result of [[phab:T216826|extensive work]] by two developers on porting the last component of the maps stack over to [[w:en:Kubernetes|kubernetes]], where we can allocate resources more efficiently than before, thus we're able to withstand more traffic in a single datacenter. This work involved a lot of complicated steps because this software, and the software libraries it uses, required many long overdue upgrades. This type of work makes the Wikimedia infrastructure more sustainable.

'''Meetings and events'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop Spring 2025|MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop Spring 2025]] is happening in Sandusky, USA, and online, from 14–16 May 2025. The workshop will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users. Registration and presentation signup is now available at the workshop's website.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Later this week, the default thumbnail size will be increased from 220px to 250px. This changes how pages are shown in all wikis and has been requested by some communities for many years, but wasn't previously possible due to technical limitations. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T355914]
* File thumbnails are now stored in discrete sizes. If a page specifies a thumbnail size that's not among the standard sizes (20, 40, 60, 120, 250, 330, 500, 960), then MediaWiki will pick the closest larger thumbnail size but will tell the browser to downscale it to the requested size. In these cases, nothing will change visually but users might load slightly larger images. If it doesn't matter which thumbnail size is used in a page, please pick one of the standard sizes to avoid the extra in-browser down-scaling step.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation are working on a system called [[m:Edge Uniques|Edge Uniques]] which will enable [[:w:en:A/B testing|A/B testing]], help protect against [[:w:en:Denial-of-service attack|Distributed denial-of-service attacks]] (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is so that they can more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for.
* To improve security for users, a small percentage of logins will now require that the account owner input a one-time password [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:EmailAuth|emailed to their account]]. It is recommended that you [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal-email|check]] that the email address on your account is set correctly, and that it has been confirmed, and that you have an email set for this purpose. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390662]
* &quot;Are you interested in taking a short survey to improve tools used for reviewing or reverting edits on your Wiki?&quot; This question will be [[phab:T389401|asked at 7 wikis starting next week]], on Recent Changes and Watchlist pages. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator Tools|Moderator Tools team]] wants to know more about activities that involve looking at new edits made to your Wikimedia project, and determining whether they adhere to your project's policies.
* On April 15, the full Wikidata graph will no longer be supported on &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[https://query.wikidata.org/ query.wikidata.org]&lt;/bdi&gt;. After this date, scholarly articles will be available through &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;white-space:nowrap;&quot;&gt;[https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org/ query-scholarly.wikidata.org]&lt;/bdi&gt;, while the rest of the data hosted on Wikidata will be available through the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[https://query.wikidata.org/ query.wikidata.org]&lt;/bdi&gt; endpoint. This is part of the scheduled split of the Wikidata Graph, which was [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS backend update/September 2024 scaling update|announced in September 2024]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Main Page|Wikifunctions]] is now integrated with [[w:dag:Solɔɣu|Dagbani Wikipedia]] since April 15. It is the first project that will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in articles. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template. [https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status_updates/2025-04-16]

'''Updates for editors'''
* For wikis that have the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|CampaignEvents extension enabled]], two new feature improvements have been released:
** Admins can now choose which namespaces are permitted for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] via [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]] ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Permitted namespaces|documentation]]). The default setup is for event registration to be permitted in the Event namespace, but other namespaces (such as the project namespace or WikiProject namespace) can now be added. With this change, communities like WikiProjects can now more easily use Event Registration for their collaborative activities.
** Editors can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Transclusion|transclude]] the Collaboration List on a wiki page ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration list/Transclusion|documentation]]). The Collaboration List is an automated list of events and WikiProjects on the wikis, accessed via {{#special:AllEvents}} ([[w:en:Special:AllEvents|example]]). Now, the Collaboration List can be added to all sorts of wiki pages, such as: a wiki mainpage, a WikiProject page, an affiliate page, an event page, or even a user page.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Developers who use the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library in gadgets and user scripts should revise their code to use alternatives like the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;Intl&lt;/code&gt; library or the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mediawiki.DateFormatter&lt;/code&gt; library. The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library has been deprecated and will begin to log messages in the developer console. You can see a global search for current uses, and [[phab:T392532|ask related questions in this Phabricator task]].
* Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikidata term store tables (&lt;code dir=ltr style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;wbt_*&lt;/code&gt;) need to update their code to connect to a separate database cluster. These tables are being split into a separate database cluster. Tools that query those tables via the wiki replicas must be adapted to connect to the new cluster instead. [[wikitech:News/2025 Wikidata term store database split|Documentation and related links are available]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390954]

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check|Peacock check]]. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Peacock language model for the following languages: Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Japanese. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check/model test|invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org]]. The deadline to sign up is on May 23, which will be the start date of the test.

'''Updates for editors'''

* From May 20, 2025, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|oversighters]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:CheckUsers|checkusers]] will need to have their accounts secured with two-factor authentication (2FA) to be able to use their advanced rights. All users who belong to these two groups and do not have 2FA enabled have been informed. In the future, this requirement may be extended to other users with advanced rights. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|Learn more]].
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]]  [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|Multiblocks]] will begin mass deployment by the end of the month: all non-Wikipedia projects plus Catalan Wikipedia will adopt Multiblocks in the week of May 26, while all other Wikipedias will adopt it in the week of June 2. Please [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|contact the team]] if you have concerns. Administrators can test the new user interface now on your own wiki by browsing to [{{fullurl:Special:Block|usecodex=1}} {{#special:Block}}?usecodex=1], and can test the full multiblocks functionality [[testwiki:Special:Block|on testwiki]]. Multiblocks is the feature that makes it possible for administrators to impose different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|help page]] for more information. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377121]
* Later this week, the [[{{#special:SpecialPages}}]] listing of almost all special pages will be updated with a new design. This page has been [[phab:T219543|redesigned]] to improve the user experience in a few ways, including: The ability to search for names and aliases of the special pages, sorting, more visible marking of restricted special pages, and a more mobile-friendly look. The new version can be [https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages previewed] at Beta Cluster now, and feedback shared in the task. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219543]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is being enabled on more wikis. For a detailed list of when the extension will be enabled on your wiki, please read the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|deployment timeline]].
* [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Main Page|Wikifunctions]] will be deployed on May 27 on five Wiktionaries: [[wikt:ha:|Hausa]], [[wikt:ig:|Igbo]], [[wikt:bn:|Bengali]], [[wikt:ml:|Malayalam]], and [[wikt:dv:|Dhivehi/Maldivian]]. This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template.
* Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for [[diffblog:2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/|experiments]]. This is to showcase and get user feedback on product experiments. The experiments help the Wikimedia movement [[diffblog:2023/07/13/exploring-paths-for-the-future-of-free-knowledge-new-wikipedia-chatgpt-plugin-leveraging-rich-media-social-apps-and-other-experiments/|understand new users]], how they interact with the internet and how it could affect the Wikimedia movement. Some examples are [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Future Audiences/Generated Video|generated video]], the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Future Audiences/Roblox game|Wikipedia Roblox speedrun game]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Future Audiences/Discord bot|the Discord bot]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Gadgets and user scripts that interact with [[{{#special:Block}}]] may need to be updated to work with the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|manage blocks interface]]. Please review the [[mw:Help:Manage blocks/Developers|developer guide]] for more information. If you need help or are unable to adapt your script to the new interface, please let the team know on the [[mw:Help talk:Manage blocks/Developers|talk page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377121]
* The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.title&lt;/code&gt; object allows you to get information about a specific wiki page in the [[w:en:Wikipedia:Lua|Lua]] programming language. Starting this week, a new property will be added to the object, named &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;isDisambiguationPage&lt;/code&gt;. This property allows you to check if a page is a disambiguation page, without the need to write a custom function. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71441]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] User script developers can use a [[toolforge:gitlab-content|new reverse proxy tool]] to load javascript and css from [[gitlab:|gitlab.wikimedia.org]] with &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.loader.load&lt;/code&gt;. The tool's author hopes this will enable collaborative development workflows for user scripts including linting, unit tests, code generation, and code review on &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;gitlab.wikimedia.org&lt;/bdi&gt; without a separate copy-and-paste step to publish scripts to a Wikimedia wiki for integration and acceptance testing. See [[wikitech:Tool:Gitlab-content|Tool:Gitlab-content on Wikitech]] for more information.

'''Meetings and events'''
* The 12th edition of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wiki Workshop 2025|Wiki Workshop 2025]], a forum that brings together researchers that explore all aspects of Wikimedia projects, will be held virtually on 21-22 May. Researchers can [https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/wikiworkshop2025/ register now].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]] is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]], and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Since last week, on all wikis except [[phab:T388604|the largest 20]], people using the mobile visual editor will have [[phab:T385851|additional tools in the menu bar]], accessed using the new &lt;code&gt;+&lt;/code&gt; toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]&lt;/code&gt; parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019]
* This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future.
* Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]].
* Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393844]

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;_default&lt;/code&gt; key in the local &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]&lt;/bdi&gt; page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384709]

* Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=clientlogin&lt;/code&gt; will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205]
* From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;async&lt;/code&gt;/&lt;code&gt;await&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381537]

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest.

This feature was requested by stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386492]
* This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-afwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cywiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hawwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-iswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-simplewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/26|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to the third and last batch of Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-azwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-lawiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-mkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-mlwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-mrwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-nnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-pawiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-swwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-tewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-tlwiki/en}}. The rollout will continue in the coming weeks to include [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|the rest of the Wikipedias in this project]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T391964]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Last week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] were rolled out on Czech, Korean, and Turkish Wikipedias. This and next week, deployments on larger Wikipedias will follow. [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|Share your thoughts]] about the project. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T340001]
* Later this week, the Editing team will release [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Multi check|Multi Check]] to all Wikipedias (except English Wikipedia). This feature shows multiple [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Reference check|Reference checks]] within the editing experience. This encourages users to add citations when they add multiple new paragraphs to a Wikipedia article. This feature was previously available as an A/B test. [https://analytics.wikimedia.org/published/reports/editing/multi_check_ab_test_report_final.html#summary-of-results The test shows] that users who are shown multiple checks are 1.3 times more likely to add a reference to their edit, and their edit is less likely to be reverted (-34.7%). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395519]
* A few pages need to be renamed due to software updates and to match more recent Unicode standards. All of these changes are related to title-casing changes. Approximately 71 pages and 3 files will be renamed, across 15 wikis; the complete list is in [[phab:T396903|the task]]. The developers will rename these pages next week, and they will fix redirects and embedded file links a few minutes later via a system settings update.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:24}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:24|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a bug was fixed that had caused pages to scroll upwards when text near the top was selected. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T364023]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Editors can now use Lua modules to filter and transform tabular data for use with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Extension:Chart]]. This can be used for things like selecting a subset of rows or columns from the source data, converting between units, statistical processing, and many other useful transformations. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Transforms|Information on how to use transforms is available]]. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates]
* The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;all_links&lt;/code&gt; variable in [[Special:AbuseFilter|AbuseFilter]] is now renamed to &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;new_links&lt;/code&gt; for consistency with other variables. Old usages will still continue to work. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T391811]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.7|MediaWiki]]

'''In depth'''
* The latest quarterly [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Newsletters/34|Growth newsletter]] is available. It includes: the recent updates for the &quot;Add a Link&quot; Task, two new Newcomer Engagement Features, and updates to Community Configuration.

===Computer simulations and automata theory applications in life sciences, theoretical biophysics, medicine and mathematical medicine===

The applications of [[../SupercomputerArchitercture/|computers]] to biological and biomedical problem solving go back to the very beginnings of computer science, [[../LQG2/|automata theory]], and mathematical biology. With the advent of more versatile and powerful computers, biological and biomedical applications of computers have proliferated so rapidly that it would be virtually impossible to compile a comprehensive review of all developments in this [[../CosmologicalConstant2/|field]]. Limitations of computer simulations in biology have also come under close scrutiny, and claims have been made that biological [[../SimilarityAndAnalogousSystemsDynamicAdjointnessAndTopologicalEquivalence/|systems]] have limited information processing [[../Power/|power]] [3]. Such general conjectures do not, however, deter biologists and biomedical researchers from developing new computer applications in biology and medicine. 

Microprocessors are being widely employed in biological laboratories both for automatic data acquisition/processing and modeling; one particular area, which is of great biomedical interest, involves fast digital image processing and is already established for routine clinical examinations in radiological and [[../Cyclotron/|Nuclear Medicine]] centers. Powerful techniques for biological research are routinely employing dedicated, on-line microprocessors or array processors; among such techniques are: Fourier-transform
[[../NuclearMagneticResonancePrinciple/|nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)]], [[../MolecularOrbitals/|NMR]] imaging (or [[../Cyclotron/|tomography]]), [[../FluorescenceCrossCorrelationSpectroscopy/|X-ray]] tomography, [[../LaserProducedPlasma/|X-ray diffraction]], high performance liquid chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry and [[../CosmologicalConstant/|mass]] spectrometry. Networking of laboratory microprocessors linked to a central, large memory computer is the next logical step in laboratory automation. 

Previously unapproachable problems, such as [[../CurrentDensityInPlasma/|molecular dynamics]] of solutions, many-body interaction calculations and [[../ThermodynamicLaws/|statistical mechanics]] of biological processes are all likely to benefit from the increasing access to the new generation of &quot;[[../SupercomputerArchitercture/|supercomputers]]&quot;. In view of the large number, diversity and [[../Complexity/|complexity]] of computer applications in biology and medicine, we could not review in any degree of detail all computer applications in these fields; instead, we shall be selective and focus our discussion on suggestive computer models of biological systems and those fundamental aspects of computer applications that are likely to continue to make an impact on biological and biomedical research. Thus, we shall consider unifying trends in mathematics, mathematical logics and computer science that are relevant to computer modeling of biological and biomedical systems. 

The latter are pitched at a more formal, abstract level than the applications and, therefore, encompass a number of [[../PreciseIdea/|concepts]] drawn from the abstract theory of sets and [[../Bijective/|relations]], network theory, automata theory, Boolean and n-valued logics, [[../PAdicMeasure/|abstract algebra]], topology and [[../TrivialGroupoid/|category theory]]. The present analysis of [[../RSystemsCategory/|Relational Theories]] in biology and computer simulation has also inspired a number of new results which are presented here as &quot;Conjectures&quot; since their proofs are too lengthy and too technical to be included in this review. In order to maintain a self-contained presentation-the definitions of the main concepts are given, with the exception of a minimum of simple mathematical concepts. 

The purpose of these theoretical [[../IsomorphicObjectsUnderAnIsomorphism/|sections]] is to provide the basis for approaching a number of basic biological questions: 

(1) What are the essential characteristics of a biological organism as opposed to an [[../CategoriesOfQuantumAutomataAndQuantumComputers/|automaton]]? 

(2) Are biological systems recursively computable? 

(3) What is the structure of the simplest (primordial) organism? 

(4) What are the basic structures of neural and [[../GeneNetDigraph/|genetic networks]]? 

(5) What are the common properties of classes of biological organisms? 

(6) Which system [[../CategoricalGroupRepresentation/|representations]] are adequate for biodynamics? 

(7) What is the optimal strategy for modifying an organism through genetic engineering? 

(8) What is the optimal simulation of a biological system with a digital or analog computer? 

(9) What is life?

'''Tech News'''
* Because of the [[w:en:Christmas and holiday season|holidays]] the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 11 January 2021.

'''Recent changes'''
* The &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{citation needed}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; template shows when a statement in a Wikipedia article needs a source. If you click on it when you edit with the visual editor there is a popup that explains this. Now it can also show the reason and when it was added. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T270107]

'''Changes later this week'''
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.

'''Future changes'''
* You can [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Geoinformation/Ideas|propose and discuss]] what technical improvements should be done for geographic information. This could be coordinates, maps or other related things.
* Some wikis use [[mw:Writing systems/LanguageConverter|LanguageConverter]] to switch between writing systems or variants of a language. This can only be done for the entire page. There will be a &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;langconvert&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tag that can convert a piece of text on a page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263082]

'''Recent changes'''
* You can choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the [[:w:en:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHA]]. This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T12729]
* You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T269761]
* Admins can use the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter|abuse filter tool]] to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
** The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T187686]
** [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Oversighters|Oversighters]] can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on [[Special:AbuseLog]]. This is how the usual revision deletion works. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T260904]
** When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is &quot;throttled&quot;. The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this &quot;throttle&quot;.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] There is a new tool to [https://skins.wmflabs.org/?#/add build new skins]. You can also [https://skins.wmflabs.org/?#/ see] existing [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Skins|skins]]. You can [[mw:User talk:Jdlrobson|give feedback]]. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-December/094130.html]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the &lt;code&gt;watchlist&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;watch&lt;/code&gt; will still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T258108]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto|Scribunto's]] [[:mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#File metadata|file metadata]] now includes length. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T209679]

You can use wikilinks like [[:w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js#L-50]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T29531]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] There was a [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.25|new version]] of MediaWiki last week. You can read [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.25/Changelog|a detailed log]] of all 763 changes. Most of them are very small and will not affect you.

'''Future changes'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth|Growth team]] plans to add features to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Personalized first day/Newcomer tasks/Experiment analysis, November 2020|get more visitors to edit]] to more Wikipedias. You can help [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&amp;group=ext-growthexperiments&amp;language=&amp;filter=&amp;action=translate translating the interface].
* You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for a short time on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210126T07 {{#time:j xg|2021-01-26|en}} at 07:00 (UTC)]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T271791]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/MassMessage|MassMessage]] posts could be automatically timestamped in the future. This is because MassMessage senders can now send pages using MassMessage. Pages are more difficult to sign. If there are times when a MassMessage post should not be timestamped you can [[phab:T270435|let the developers know]].

'''Problems'''
* [[:w:en:IPv6|IPv6 addresses]] were written in lowercase letters in diffs. This caused dead links since [[Special:Contributions|Special:Contributions]] only accepted uppercase letters for the IPs. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T272225]

'''Changes later this week'''
* You can soon use Wikidata to link to pages on the multilingual Wikisource. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138332]
* Often editors use a &quot;non-breaking space&quot; to make a gap between two items when reading but still show them together. This can be used to avoid a line break. You will now be able to add new ones via the special character tool in the 2010, 2017, and visual editors. The character will be shown in the visual editor as a space with a grey background. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70429][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T96666]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=| Advanced item]] Wikis use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter|abuse filters]] to stop bad edits being made. Filter maintainers can now use syntax like &lt;code&gt;1.2.3.4 - 1.2.3.55&lt;/code&gt; as well as the &lt;code&gt;1.2.3.4/27&lt;/code&gt; syntax for IP ranges.

'''Future changes'''
* [[mw:Skin:Minerva Neue|Minerva]] is the skin Wikimedia wikis use for mobile traffic. When a page is protected and you can't edit it you can normally read the source wikicode. This doesn't work on Minerva on mobile devices. This is being fixed. Some text might overlap. This is because your community needs to update [[MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext|MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext]] to work on mobile. You can [[phab:T208827|read more]].

* You can see edits to chosen pages on [[Special:Watchlist|Special:Watchlist]]. You can add pages to your watchlist on every wiki you like. The [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|GlobalWatchlist]] extension will come to Meta on 11 February. There you can see entries on watched pages on different wikis on the same page.

'''Recent changes'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation/Section translation|Section translation]] now works on Bengali Wikipedia. It helps mobile editors translate sections of articles. It will come to more wikis later. The first focus is active wikis with a smaller number of articles. You can [https://sx.wmflabs.org/index.php/Main_Page test it] and [[mw:Talk:Content translation/Section translation|leave feedback]].
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:FlaggedRevs|Flagged revisions]] now give admins the review right. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275293]

'''Problems'''
* Many graphs have [[:w:en:JavaScript|JavaScript]] errors. Graph editors can check their graphs in their browser's developer console after editing. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275833]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.34|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-03-09|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2021-03-10|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2021-03-11|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* The [[mw:Talk pages project/New discussion|New Discussion]] tool will soon be a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:DiscussionTools|discussion tools]] beta feature for on most Wikipedias. The goal is to make it easier to start new discussions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275257]

'''Future changes'''
* There will be a number of changes to make it easier to work with templates. Some will come to the first wikis in March. Other changes will come to the first wikis in June. This is both for those who use templates and those who create or maintain them. You can [[:m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Templates|read more]].
* [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/ReferencePreviews|Reference Previews]] will become a default feature on some wikis on 17 March. They will share a setting with [[mw:Page Previews|Page Previews]]. If you prefer the Reference Tooltips or Navigation-Popups gadget you can keep using them. If so Reference Previews won't be shown. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T271206][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WMDE_Technical_Wishes/ReferencePreviews]
* New JavaScript-based functions will not work in [[:w:en:Internet Explorer 11|Internet Explorer 11]]. This is because Internet Explorer is an old browser that doesn't work with how JavaScript is written today. Everything that works in Internet Explorer 11 today will continue working in Internet Explorer for now. You can [[mw:Compatibility/IE11|read more]].

'''Recent changes'''
* Wikis that are part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements|desktop improvements]] project can now use a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Features/Search|search function]]. The desktop improvements and the new search will come to more wikis later. You can also [[mw:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements#Deployment plan and timeline|test it early]].

'''Problems'''
* Due to [[phab:T276968|database issues]] the [https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org Wikimedia Beta Cluster] was read-only for over a day.

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.34|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-03-16|en}}.

'''Future changes'''
* You can add a [[:w:en:Newline|newline]] or [[:w:en:Carriage return|carriage return]] character to a custom signature if you use a template. There is a proposal to not allow them in the future. This is because they can cause formatting problems. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_requirements_for_user_signatures#Additional_proposal_(2021)][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T272322]
* You will be able to read but not edit [[phab:T276899|12 wikis]] for a short period of time on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210323T06 {{#time:j xg|2021-03-23|en}} at 06:00 (UTC)]. This could take 30 minutes but will probably be much faster.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] You can use [https://quarry.wmflabs.org/ Quarry] for [[:w:en:SQL|SQL]] queries to the [[wikitech:Wiki replicas|Wiki Replicas]]. Cross-database &lt;code&gt;JOINS&lt;/code&gt; will no longer work from 23 March. There will be a new field to specify the database to connect to.

'''Recent changes'''
* There is a [[mw:Wikipedia for KaiOS|Wikipedia app]] for [[:w:en:KaiOS|KaiOS]] phones. They don't have a touch screen so readers navigate with the phone keys. There is now a [https://wikimedia.github.io/wikipedia-kaios/sim.html simulator] so you can see what it looks like.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Replying|reply tool]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/New discussion|new discussion tool]] are now available as the &quot;{{int:discussiontools-preference-label}}&quot; [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]] in almost all wikis except German Wikipedia.

'''Problems'''

* [[:w:en:Syntax highlighting|Syntax highlighting]] colours will change to be easier to read. This will soon come to the [[phab:T276346|first wikis]]. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Improved_Color_Scheme_of_Syntax_Highlighting]

'''Future changes'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:FlaggedRevs|Flagged revisions]] will no longer have multiple tags like &quot;tone&quot; or &quot;depth&quot;. It will also only have one tier. This was changed because very few wikis used these features and they make the tool difficult to maintain. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185664][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T277883]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Gadgets and user scripts can access variables about the current page in JavaScript.

* Some very old [[:w:en:Web browser|web browsers]] [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Compatibility|don’t work]] well with the Wikimedia wikis. Some old code for browsers that used to be supported is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T277803]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] [[:m:IRC/Channels#Raw_feeds|IRC recent changes feeds]] have been moved to a new server. Make sure all tools automatically reconnect to &lt;code&gt;irc.wikimedia.org&lt;/code&gt; and not to the name of any specific server. Users should also consider switching to the more modern [[:wikitech:Event Platform/EventStreams|EventStreams]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224579]

'''Problems'''
* When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split. It might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a [[:w:en:Job queue|job queue]] problem. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T278350]
* Some translatable pages on Meta could not be edited. This was because of a bug in the translation tool. The new MediaWiki version was delayed because of problems like this. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T278429][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T274940]

'''Recent changes'''
* [[w:en:Wikipedia:Twinkle|Twinkle]] is a gadget on English Wikipedia. It can help with maintenance and patrolling. It can [[m:Grants:Project/Rapid/SD0001/Twinkle localisation/Report|now be used on other wikis]]. You can get Twinkle on your wiki using the [https://github.com/wikimedia-gadgets/twinkle-starter twinkle-starter] GitHub repository.

'''Problems'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation|content translation tool]] did not work for many articles for a little while. This was because of a bug. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281346]
* Some things will not work for about a minute on 5 May. This will happen [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210505T0600 around 06:00 UTC]. This will affect the content translation tool and notifications among other things. This is because of an upgrade to avoid crashes. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281212]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Reference Previews|Reference Previews]] will become a default feature on a number of wikis on 5 May. This is later than planned because of some changes. You can use it without using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Page Previews|Page Previews]] if you want to. The earlier plan was to have the preference to use both or none.

The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/IRC/Group_Contacts|Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts]] have [[m:Special:Diff/21476411|decided]] to move to the new [[:w:en:Libera Chat|Libera Chat]] network instead.

* The Wikimedia movement uses [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator|Phabricator]] for technical tasks. This is where we collect technical suggestions, bugs and what developers are working on. The company behind Phabricator will stop working on it. This will not change anything for the Wikimedia movement now. It could lead to changes in the future.

* Searching on Wikipedia will find more results in some languages. This is mainly true for when those who search do not use the correct [[:w:en:Diacritic|diacritics]] because they are not seen as necessary in that language. For example searching for &lt;code&gt;Bedusz&lt;/code&gt; doesn't find &lt;code&gt;Będusz&lt;/code&gt; on German Wikipedia. The character &lt;code&gt;ę&lt;/code&gt; isn't used in German so many would write &lt;code&gt;e&lt;/code&gt; instead. This will work better in the future in some languages.

* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.37/wmf.12|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-06-29|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2021-06-30|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2021-07-01|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.37/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* &lt;code&gt;Threshold for stub link formatting&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;thumbnail size&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;auto-number headings&lt;/code&gt; can be set in preferences. They are expensive to maintain and few editors use them. The developers are planning to remove them. Removing them will make pages load faster. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/User:SKim (WMF)/Performance Dependent User Preferences|read more and give feedback]].
* A toolbar will be added to the [[mw:Talk pages project/Replying|Reply tool]]'s wikitext source mode. This will make it easier to link to pages and to ping other users. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T276609][https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_project/Replying#Status_updates]

'''Tech News'''
* The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 19 July.

'''Recent changes'''
* [[:wikidata:Q4063270|AutoWikiBrowser]] is a tool to make repetitive tasks easier. It now uses [[:w:en:JSON|JSON]]. &lt;code&gt;Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage&lt;/code&gt; has moved to &lt;code&gt;Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Config&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;code&gt;Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version&lt;/code&gt; has moved to &lt;code&gt;Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/VersionJSON&lt;/code&gt;. The tool will eventually be configured on the wiki so that you don't have to wait until the new version to add templates or regular expression fixes. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T241196]

'''Problems'''
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/InternetArchiveBot|InternetArchiveBot]] helps saving online sources on some wikis. It adds them to [[:w:en:Wayback Machine|Wayback Machine]] and links to them there. This is so they don't disappear if the page that was linked to is removed. It currently has a problem with linking to the wrong date when it moves pages from &lt;code&gt;archive.is&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;web.archive.org&lt;/code&gt;. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T283432]

'''Changes later this week'''
* The tool to [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Finding and inserting templates|find, add and remove templates]] will be updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It will come to the first wikis on 7 July. It will come to more wikis later this year. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Removing_a_template_from_a_page_using_the_VisualEditor][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284553]
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

'''Future changes'''
* Some Wikimedia wikis use [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Flagged Revisions|Flagged Revisions]] or pending changes. It hides edits from new and unregistered accounts for readers until they have been patrolled. The auto review action in Flagged Revisions will no longer be logged. All old logs of auto-review will be removed. This is because it creates a lot of logs that are not very useful. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T285608]

* [[Special:UnconnectedPages|Special:UnconnectedPages]] lists pages that are not connected to Wikidata. This helps you find pages that can be connected to Wikidata items. Some pages should not be connected to Wikidata. You can use the magic word &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; on pages that should not be listed on the special page.

'''Future changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] How media is structured in the [[:w:en:Parsing|parser's]] HTML output will soon change.

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The parameters for how you obtain [[mw:API:Tokens|tokens]] in the MediaWiki API were changed in 2014. The old way will no longer work from 1 September. Scripts, bots and tools that use the parameters from before the 2014 change need to be updated. You can [[phab:T280806#7215377|read more]].

'''Recent changes'''
* A [[mw:MediaWiki 1.37/wmf.14|new version]] of MediaWiki came to the Wikimedia wikis the week before last week. This was not in Tech News because there was no newsletter that week. 

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.37/wmf.16|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-07-27|en}}.

'''Future changes'''
* If you use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:MonoBook|Monobook skin]] you can choose to switch off [[:w:en:Responsive web design|responsive design]] on mobile. This will now work for more skins. If &lt;code&gt;{{int:monobook-responsive-label}}&lt;/code&gt; is unticked you need to also untick the new [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|preference]] &lt;code&gt;{{int:prefs-skin-responsive}}&lt;/code&gt;.

'''Recent changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] If your wiki uses markup like &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; or &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-content-rtl&quot;&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; without the required &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;dir&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute, then these will no longer work in 2 weeks. There is a short-term fix that can be added to your local wiki's Common.css page, which is explained at [[phab:T287701|T287701]]. From now on, all usages should include the full attributes, for example: &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; lang=&quot;en&quot;&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; or &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mw-content-rtl&quot; dir=&quot;rtl&quot; lang=&quot;he&quot;&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;. This also applies to some other HTML tags, such as &lt;code&gt;span&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;code&lt;/code&gt;. You can find existing examples on your wiki that need to be updated, using the instructions at [[phab:T287701|T287701]].
* Reminder: Wikimedia has [[m:Special:MyLanguage/IRC/Migrating to Libera Chat|migrated to the Libera Chat IRC network]], from the old Freenode network. Local documentation should be updated.

'''Problems'''
* Last week, all wikis had slow access or no access for 30 minutes. There was a problem with generating dynamic lists of articles on the Russian Wikinews, due to the bulk import of 200,000+ new articles over 3 days, which led to database problems. The problematic feature has been disabled on that wiki and developers are discussing if it can be fixed properly. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287380][https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/2021-07-26_ruwikinews_DynamicPageList]

'''Changes later this week'''
* When adding links to a page using [[mw:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]] or the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2017 wikitext editor|2017 wikitext editor]], [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Disambiguator|disambiguation pages]] will now only appear at the bottom of search results. This is because users do not often want to link to disambiguation pages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T285510]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.37/wmf.17|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-08-03|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2021-08-04|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2021-08-05|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.37/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* The [[mw:Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android|team of the Wikipedia app for Android]] is working on communication in the app. The developers are working on how to talk to other editors and get notifications. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Communication|read more]]. They are looking for users who want to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Communication/UsertestingJuly2021|test the plans]]. Any editor who has an Android phone and is willing to download the app can do this.
* The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|Beta Feature]] for {{int:discussiontools-preference-label}} will be updated in the coming weeks.  You will be able to [[mw:Talk pages project/Notifications|subscribe to individual sections]] on a talk page at more wikis.  You can test this now by adding &lt;code&gt;?dtenable=1&lt;/code&gt; to the end of the talk page's URL ([https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta_talk:Sandbox?dtenable=1 example]).

* A [[mw:Help:Tags|revision tag]] will soon be added to edits that add links to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Disambiguator|disambiguation pages]].

Features will be available for newcomers starting on 20 September 2021.
* MediaWiki had a feature that would highlight local links to short articles in a different style. Each user could pick the size at which &quot;stubs&quot; would be highlighted. This feature was very bad for performance, and following a consultation, has been removed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284917]
* A technical change was made to the MonoBook skin to allow for easier maintenance and upkeep. This has resulted in some minor changes to HTML that make MonoBook's HTML consistent with other skins. Efforts have been made to minimize the impact on editors, but please ping [[m:User:Jon (WMF)|Jon (WMF)]] on wiki or in [[phab:T290888|phabricator]] if any problems are reported.

However, the recently developed [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature_summary|Growth features]] provide a better onboarding experience. Since the vast majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features, GettingStarted will be deactivated starting on 4 October. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235752]

They will also have problems with many other websites. Users who have updated their software in the last five years are unlikely to have problems.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T25020]
* At Wikipedias, all new accounts now get the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature_summary|Growth features]] by default when creating an account.

A few Wikipedias remain unaffected by this change. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T301820]
* You can now prevent specific images that are used in a page from appearing in other locations, such as within PagePreviews or Search results. This is done with the markup &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;class=notpageimage&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt;.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100106][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T248418]

'''Recent changes'''
* When searching for edits by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tags|change tags]], e.g. in page history or user contributions, there is now a dropdown list of possible tags.

* Mentors using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Mentor_dashboard|Growth Mentor dashboard]] will now see newcomers assigned to them who have made at least one edit, up to 200 edits. Previously, all newcomers assigned to the mentor were visible on the dashboard, even ones without any edit or ones who made hundred of edits. Mentors can still change these values using the filters on their dashboard. Also, the last choice of filters will now be saved. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T301268][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T294460]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The user group &lt;code&gt;oversight&lt;/code&gt; was renamed &lt;code&gt;suppress&lt;/code&gt;. This is for [[phab:T109327|technical reasons]].

'''Future changes'''
* Working with templates will become easier. [[m:WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Templates|Several improvements]] are planned for March 9 on most wikis and on March 16 on English Wikipedia. The improvements include: Bracket matching, syntax highlighting colors, finding and inserting templates, and related visual editor features.
* If you are a template developer or an interface administrator, and you are intentionally overriding or using the default CSS styles of user feedback boxes (the classes: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;successbox, messagebox, errorbox, warningbox&lt;/code&gt;), please note that these classes and associated CSS will soon be removed from MediaWiki core. This is to prevent problems when the same class-names are also used on a wiki. Please let us know by commenting at [[phab:T300314]] if you think you might be affected.

* The Community Wishlist Survey 2023 edition has been concluded. Community Tech has [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Results|published the results]] of the survey and will provide an update on what is next in April 2023.
* On wikis which use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Writing_systems|LanguageConverter]] to handle multiple writing systems, articles which used custom conversion rules in the wikitext (primarily on Chinese Wikipedia) would have these rules applied inconsistently in the table of contents, especially in the Vector 2022 skin.

'''Recent changes'''
* The system for automatically creating categories for the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Babel|Babel]] extension has had several important changes and fixes.

* Some older [[w:en:Web browser|Web browsers]] will stop being able to use [[w:en:JavaScript|JavaScript]] on Wikimedia wikis from this week. This mainly affects users of Internet Explorer 11. If you have an old web browser on your computer you can try to upgrade to a newer version. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178356]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The deprecated &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;jquery.hoverIntent&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; module has been removed. This module could be used by gadgets and user scripts, to create an artificial delay in how JavaScript responds to a hover event. Gadgets and user scripts should now use jQuery &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;hover()&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; or &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;on()&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; instead.

'''Future changes'''
* The Vega software that creates data visualizations in pages, such as graphs, will be upgraded to the newest version in the future. Graphs that still use the very old version 1.5 syntax may stop working properly. Most existing uses have been found and updated, but you can help to check, and to update any local documentation.

'''Problems'''
* For three days last month, some Wikipedia pages edited with VisualEditor or DiscussionTools had an unintended &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__TOC__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; (or its localized form) added during an edit. There is [[mw:Parsoid/Deployments/T336101_followup|a listing of affected pages sorted by wiki]], that may still need to be fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T336101]
* Currently, the &quot;{{int:Visualeditor-dialog-meta-categories-defaultsort-label}}&quot; feature in VisualEditor is broken. Existing &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{DEFAULTSORT:...}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; keywords incorrectly appear as missing templates in VisualEditor. Developers are exploring how to fix this. In the meantime, those wishing to edit the default sortkey of a page are advised to switch to source editing. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337398]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] Last week, an update to the delete form may have broken some gadgets or user scripts.

Changing this default using the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;|targets=&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; parameter is also deprecated and should not be used. You should make gadgets work on mobile or disable them based on the skin (with the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;|skins=&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; parameter in &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition&lt;/bdi&gt;) rather than whether the user uses the mobile or the desktop website. Popular gadgets that create errors on mobile will be disabled by developers on the Minerva skin as a temporary solution. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T127268]
* All namespace tabs now have the same browser [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Keyboard_shortcuts|access key]] by default. Previously, custom and extension-defined namespaces would have to have their access keys set manually on-wiki, but that is no longer necessary. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T22126]

'''Recent changes'''
* The [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured Data Across Wikimedia/Section-level Image Suggestions|Section-level Image Suggestions feature]] has been deployed on seven Wikipedias (Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Catalan, Hungarian, Finnish and Norwegian Bokmål). The feature recommends images for articles on contributors' watchlists that are a good match for individual sections of those articles.
* [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global AbuseFilter|Global abuse filters]] have been enabled on all Wikimedia projects, except English and Japanese Wikipedias (who opted out). This change was made following a [[:m:Requests for comment/Make global abuse filters opt-out|global request for comments]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341159]
* [[{{#special:BlockedExternalDomains}}]] is a new tool for administrators to help fight spam. It provides a clearer interface for blocking plain domains (and their subdomains), is more easily searchable, and is faster for the software to process for each edit on the wiki. It does not support regex (for complex cases), nor URL path-matching, nor the [[MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist|MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist]], but otherwise it replaces most of the functionalities of the existing [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist|MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]]. There is a Python script to help migrate all simple domains into this tool, and more feature details, within [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:BlockedExternalDomains|the tool's documentation]]. It is available at all wikis except for Meta-wiki, Commons, and Wikidata. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337431]
* The WikiEditor extension was updated. It includes some of the most frequently used features of wikitext editing. In the past, many of its messages could only be translated by administrators, but now all regular translators on translatewiki can translate them. Please check [https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:MessageGroupStats?group=ext-wikieditor&amp;messages=&amp;x=D#sortable:0=asc the state of WikiEditor localization into your language], and if the &quot;Completion&quot; for your language shows anything less than 100%, please complete the translation.

'''Future changes'''
* There is an experiment with a [[:w:en:ChatGPT|ChatGPT]] plugin. This is to show users where the information is coming from when they read information from Wikipedia. It has been tested by Wikimedia Foundation staff and other Wikimedians. Soon all ChatGPT plugin users can use the Wikipedia plugin.

* There is an ongoing discussion on a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Third-party resources policy|proposed Third-party resources policy]]. The proposal will impact the use of third-party resources in gadgets and userscripts.

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] We are now serving 1% of all global user traffic from [[w:en:Kubernetes|Kubernetes]] (you can [[wikitech:MediaWiki On Kubernetes|read more technical details]]). We are planning to increment this percentage regularly. You can [[phab:T290536|follow the progress of this work]]. 

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.41/wmf.18|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2023-07-18|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2023-07-19|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2023-07-20|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.41/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] MediaWiki [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:System_message|system messages]] will now look for available local fallbacks, instead of always using the default fallback defined by software. This means wikis no longer need to override each language on the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Language#Fallback_languages|fallback chain]] separately. For example, English Wikipedia doesn't have to create &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;en-ca&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;en-gb&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; subpages with a transclusion of the base pages anymore. This makes it easier to maintain local overrides. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T229992]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;action=growthsetmentorstatus&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; API will be deprecated with the new MediaWiki version. Bots or scripts calling that API should use the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;action=growthmanagementorlist&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; API now.

'''Future changes'''
* The removal of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:DoubleWiki|DoubleWiki extension]] is being discussed. This extension currently allows Wikisource users to view articles from multiple language versions side by side when the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;=&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; symbol next to a specific language edition is selected. Comments on this are welcomed at [[phab:T344544|the phabricator task]].
* A proposal has been made to merge the second hidden-categories list (which appears below the wikitext editing form) with the main list of categories (which is further down the page). [[phab:T340606|More information is available on Phabricator]]; feedback is welcome!

* Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a [[:w:en:International Components for Unicode|library]]. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library.

'''Recent changes'''
*The mobile site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to [[phab:T353388|the phabricator task]].
*On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity.

'''Recent changes'''
* On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T344214]
* If you use the [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|user-preference]] &quot;{{int:tog-uselivepreview}}&quot;, then the template-page feature &quot;{{int:Templatesandbox-editform-legend}}&quot; will now also work without reloading the page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T136907]
* [[mw:Special:Mylanguage/Extension:Kartographer|Kartographer]] maps can now specify an alternative text via the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;alt=&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute. This is identical in usage to the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;alt=&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; attribute in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Images#Syntax|image and gallery syntax]]. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328137]
* The old [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GuidedTour|Guided Tour]] for the &quot;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit Review Improvements/New filters for edit review|New Filters for Edit Review]]&quot; feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T217451]

If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T320295]

'''Future changes'''
* In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates|Learn more]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T357706]

In your existing SQL queries:
*# Replace &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;JOIN pagelinks&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;JOIN linktarget&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;pl_&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;lt_&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; in the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;ON&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; statement

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration.

It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-12|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-13|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.43/Roadmap|calendar]]). [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train][https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid|Parsoid]] will now generate a &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-cite-backlink&quot;&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. [[mw:Specs/HTML/2.8.0/Extensions/Cite/Announcement|More details are available]]. [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1035809] 
* On multilingual wikis that use the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Requesting wiki configuration changes|requests it]].

'''Recent changes'''
* People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check#11_June_2024|Edit check]] for more details. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366751]
* The new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CommunityConfiguration|Community Configuration extension]] is available [[testwiki:Special:CommunityConfiguration|on Test Wikipedia]]. This extension allows communities to customize specific features to meet their local needs. Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community_configuration#Use_cases|Community Configuration use cases]] in the future. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T323811][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T360954]
* The dark mode [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]] is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility_for_reading|project talk page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366370]

'''Problems'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incidents/2024-06-11_WMCS_Ceph]
* Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, [[phab:T367463|report them here]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367480]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.43/wmf.10|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-18|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-19|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-20|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.43/Roadmap|calendar]]). [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train][https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar]
* Starting June 18, the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#ref|Reference Edit Check]] will be deployed to [[phab:T361843|a new set of Wikipedias]]. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit_check#Reference_Check_A/B_Test|a test at 11 wikis]], the number of citations added [https://diff.wikimedia.org/?p=127553 more than doubled] when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check/Configuration|community configurable]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T361843]&lt;!-- NOTE: THE DIFF BLOG WILL BE PUBLISHED ON MONDAY --&gt;
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mailing_lists|Mailing lists]] will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367521]

'''Recent changes'''
* Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions [[mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading|on the project talkpage]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T361717]
* The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366515]

'''Problems'''
* You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools#Talk pages permalinking|copy permanent links to talk page comments]] by clicking on a comment's timestamp. [[mw:Talk pages project/Permalinks|This feature]] did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T356196]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.43/wmf.11|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-25|en}}.

[https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train][https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar]
* Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this feature [[DiffBlog:/2024/01/29/talk-page-permalinks-dont-lose-your-threads/|on Diff]] or [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools#Talk pages permalinking|on Mediawiki.org]].

'''Recent changes'''
* Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2023/Reading/Dark_mode|top-requested community wishes]], and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility_for_reading/Updates#June_2024:_Typography_and_dark_mode_deployments,_new_global_preferences|the latest Web team update]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366364]
* Logged-in users can now set [[m:Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering-skin-skin-prefs|global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode]], thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341278] 
* If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new [[d:Q46441|CSS]] features and to send less code to all readers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288287][https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:How_to_make_a_MediaWiki_skin#Using_CSS_variables_for_supporting_different_themes_e.g._dark_mode]
* Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]]. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature_summary|Growth features]] on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T366458]
* Editors interested in language issues that are related to [[w:en:Unicode|Unicode standards]], can now discuss those topics at [[mw:Talk:WMF membership with Unicode Consortium|a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org]]. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/WMF membership with Unicode Consortium|member of the Unicode Consortium]], and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia}} in [[d:Q2891049|Mandailing]] ([[w:btm:|&lt;code&gt;w:btm:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368038] 

'''Problems'''
* Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368119]

'''Future changes'''
* Please [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/758713?lang=en help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey]. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 2 weeks.

'''Recent changes'''
* At the Wikimedia Foundation a new task force was formed to replace the disabled Graph with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project|more secure, easy to use, and extensible Chart]]. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Newsletter:Chart Project|subscribe to the newsletter]] to get notified about new project updates and other news about Chart.
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents]] extension is now available on Meta-wiki, Igbo Wikipedia, and Swahili Wikipedia, and can be requested on your wiki. This extension helps in managing and making events more visible, giving Event organizers the ability to use tools like the Event registration tool. To learn more about the deployment status and how to request this extension for your wiki, visit the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment_status|CampaignEvents page on Meta-wiki]]. 
* Editors using the iOS Wikipedia app who have more than 50 edits can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits#Add an image|Add an Image]] feature. This feature presents opportunities for small but useful contributions to Wikipedia.
* Thank you to [[mw:MediaWiki Product Insights/Contributor retention and growth/Celebration|all of the authors]] who have contributed to MediaWiki Core. As a result of these contributions, the [[mw:MediaWiki Product Insights/Contributor retention and growth|percentage of authors contributing more than 5 patches has increased by 25% since last year]], which helps ensure the sustainability of the platform for the Wikimedia projects.

'''Problems'''
* A problem with the color of the talkpage tabs always showing as blue, even for non-existent pages which should have been red, affecting the Vector 2022 skin, [[phab:T367982|has been fixed]]. 

'''Future changes'''
* The Trust and Safety Product team wants to introduce [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] with as little disruption to tools and workflows as possible. Volunteer developers, including gadget and user-script maintainers, are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts.

'''Recent changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Gerrit|Gerrit]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/GitLab|GitLab]], due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the [[mw:GitLab/Migration status|Migration status]] page.
* The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Proposal|Product and Technology Advisory Council]] (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/Proposal#Joining the PTAC as a technical volunteer|Please apply here by August 10]].
* Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Anti Vandalism|Edit Patrol]] features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android#Contact us|you can contact the team]]. You can [[diffblog:2024/07/10/ِaddressing-vandalism-with-a-tap-the-journey-of-introducing-the-patrolling-feature-in-the-mobile-app/|read more about this project on Diff blog]].
* Editors who have access to [[m:Special:MyLanguage/The_Wikipedia_Library|The Wikipedia Library]] can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation [[phab:T368865|contacted]] them to restore access. You can read more about [[m:Tech/News/Recently_resolved_community_tasks|this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week]]. 

'''Changes later this week'''
* This week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-07 deployments|dark mode will be available on a number of Wikipedias]], both desktop and mobile, for logged-in and logged-out users. Interface admins and user script maintainers are encouraged to check gadgets and user scripts in the dark mode, to find any hard-coded colors and fix them. There are some [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Recommendations for night mode compatibility on Wikimedia wikis|recommendations for dark mode compatibility]] to help.

'''Future changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|share your opinions and questions on the project talk page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T348895]
* Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Cross-wiki upload|Commons:Cross-wiki upload]] and [[c:Commons:Village pump/Proposals#Deactivate cross-wiki uploads for new users|discussion at Commons:Village Pump]].

'''Feature News'''
* Stewards can now [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global_blocks|globally block]] accounts. Before [[phab:T17294|the change]] only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Global_locks|Global locks]] (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|Temporary Accounts]] project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
* Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:FlaggedRevs|FlaggedRevs]] (also known as &quot;Pending Changes&quot;) is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Wikimedia's design system]]. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:MinervaNeue|Minerva skin]] was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Codex]] by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers.

* Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/building-towards-a-robust-multilingual-knowledge-ecosystem-for-the-wikimedia-movement/ Diff]. 
* How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/ blog post] by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the [[m:Future Audiences#Objectives and Key Results|WMF Future Audience initiative]], where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a [[m:Future_Audiences/Experiments: conversational/generative AI|ChatGPT plugin]] and [[m:Future_Audiences/Experiment:Add a Fact|Add a Fact]], to help take Wikimedia into the future.

'''Feature news'''
* Editors using the Visual Editor in languages that use non-Latin characters for numbers, such as Hindi, Manipuri and Eastern Arabic, may notice some changes in the formatting of reference numbers. This is a side effect of preparing a new sub-referencing feature, and will also allow fixing some general numbering issues in Visual Editor. If you notice any related problems on your wiki, please share details at the [[m:Talk:WMDE Technical Wishes/Sub-referencing|project talkpage]].

'''Bugs status'''
* Some logged-in editors were briefly unable to edit or load pages last week. [[phab:T370304|These errors]] were mainly due to the addition of new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Linter|linter]] rules which led to caching problems. Fixes have been applied and investigations are continuing.
* Editors can use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Information tool]] to get information about IP addresses. This tool is available as a Beta Feature in your preferences. The tool was not available for a few days last week, but is now working again. Thank you to Shizhao for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks#2024-07-25|28 other community-submitted tasks]] that were resolved last week.

'''Project updates'''
* There are new features and improvements to Phabricator from the Release Engineering and Collaboration Services teams, and some volunteers, including: the search systems, the new task creation system, the login systems, the translation setup which has resulted in support for more languages (thanks to Pppery), and fixes for many edge-case errors. You can [[phab:phame/post/view/316/iterative_improvements/|read details about these and other improvements in this summary]].

'''Bugs status'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Your help is needed to check if any pages need to be moved or deleted. A maintenance script was run to clean up unreachable pages (due to Unicode issues or introduction of new namespaces/namespace aliases). The script tried to find appropriate names for the pages (e.g. by following the Unicode changes or by moving pages whose titles on Wikipedia start with &lt;code&gt;Talk:WP:&lt;/code&gt; so that their titles start with &lt;code&gt;Wikipedia talk:&lt;/code&gt;), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/]]&lt;/bdi&gt; instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed. A full log (including pages for which appropriate names could be found) is available in [[phab:P67388]].
* Editors who volunteer as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Mentorship|mentors]] to newcomers on their wiki are once again able to access lists of potential mentees who they can connect with to offer help and guidance. This functionality was restored thanks to [[phab:T372164|a bug fix]]. Thank you to Mbch331 for filing the bug report.

You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|read more about this project update]] and help to test the charts.

'''Feature news'''
* Editors who use the [[{{#special:Unusedtemplates}}]] page can now filter out pages which are expected to be there permanently, such as sandboxes, test-cases, and templates that are always substituted. Editors can add the new magic word [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE|&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;]] to a template page to hide it from the listing. Thanks to Sophivorus and DannyS712 for these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184633]
* Editors who use the New Topic tool on discussion pages, will [[phab:T334163|now be reminded]] to add a section header, which should help reduce the quantity of newcomers who add sections without a header. You can read more about that, and {{formatnum:28}} other community-submitted tasks that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].
* Last week, some Toolforge tools had occasional connection problems. The cause is still being investigated, but the problems have been resolved for now. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373243]
* Translation administrators at multilingual wikis, when editing multiple translation units, can now easily mark which changes require updates to the translation. This is possible with the [[phab:T298852#10087288|new dropdown menu]].

'''Project updates'''
* A new draft text of a policy discussing the use of Wikimedia's APIs [[m:Special:MyLanguage/API Policy Update 2024|has been published on Meta-Wiki]]. The draft text does not reflect a change in policy around the APIs; instead, it is an attempt to codify existing API rules. Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on [[m:Talk:API Policy Update 2024|the proposed update’s talk page]] until September 13 or until those discussions have concluded.

* Starting this week, the standard [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|syntax highlighter]] will receive new colors that make them compatible in dark mode. This is the first of many changes to come as part of a major upgrade to syntax highlighting. You can learn more about what's to come on the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|help page]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T365311][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259059]
* Editors of wikis using Wikidata will now be notified of only relevant Wikidata changes in their watchlist. This is because the Lua functions &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;entity:getSitelink()&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid)&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; will have their logic unified for tracking different aspects of sitelinks to reduce junk notifications from [[m:Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects/Projects/Watchlist Wikidata Sitelinks Tracking|inconsistent sitelinks tracking]].

'''Project updates'''
*  Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370962]
* Contributors of [[phab:T363538#10123348|11 Wikipedias]], including English will have a new &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;MOS&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; namespace added to their Wikipedias.

'''Improvements and Maintenance'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Editors interested in templates can help by reading the latest Wishlist focus area, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/Focus areas/Template recall and discovery|Template recall and discovery]], and share your feedback on the talkpage. This input helps the Community Tech team to decide the right technical approach to build. Everyone is also encouraged to continue adding [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist|new wishes]].
* The new automated [[{{#special:NamespaceInfo}}]] page helps editors understand which [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespaces|namespaces]] exist on each wiki, and some details about how they are configured. Thanks to DannyS712 for these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263513]
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Reference check|References Check]] is a feature that encourages editors to add a citation when they add a new paragraph to a Wikipedia article. For a short time, the corresponding tag &quot;Edit Check (references) activated&quot; was erroneously being applied to some edits outside of the main namespace. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373692]
* It is now possible for a wiki community to change the order in which a page’s categories are displayed on their wiki. By default, categories are displayed in the order they appear in the wikitext. Now, wikis with a consensus to do so can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Requesting wiki configuration changes|request]] a configuration change to display them in alphabetical order. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373480]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Tool authors can now access ToolsDB's [[wikitech:Portal:Data Services#ToolsDB|public databases]] from both [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Quarry|Quarry]] and [[wikitech:Superset|Superset]]. Those databases have always been accessible to every [[wikitech:Portal:Toolforge|Toolforge]] user, but they are now more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account. In addition, Quarry's internal database can now be [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Quarry#Querying Quarry's own database|queried from Quarry itself]]. This database contains information about all queries that are being run and starred by users in Quarry. This information was already public through the web interface, but you can now query it using SQL. You can read more about that, and {{formatnum:20}} other community-submitted tasks that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].
* Any pages or tools that still use the very old CSS classes &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;mw-message-box&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; need to be updated. These old classes will be removed next week or soon afterwards. Editors can use a [https://global-search.toolforge.org/?q=mw-message-box&amp;regex=1&amp;namespaces=&amp;title= global-search] to determine what needs to be changed. It is possible to use the newer &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;cdx-message&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; group of classes as a replacement (see [https://doc.wikimedia.org/codex/latest/components/demos/message.html#css-only-version the relevant Codex documentation], and [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tech/Header&amp;diff=prev&amp;oldid=27449042 an example update]), but using locally defined onwiki classes would be best. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374499]

'''Technical project updates'''
* Next week, all Wikimedia wikis will be read-only for a few minutes. This will start on September 25 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1727276400 15:00 UTC]. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|This maintenance process also targets other services.]] The previous switchover took 3 minutes, and the Site Reliability Engineering teams use many tools to make sure that this essential maintenance work happens as quickly as possible.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* All wikis will be [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|read-only]] for a few minutes on Wednesday September 25 at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1727276400 15:00 UTC]. Reading the wikis will not be interrupted, but editing will be paused. These twice-yearly processes allow WMF's site reliability engineering teams to remain prepared to keep the wikis functioning even in the event of a major interruption to one of our data centers.

'''Updates for editors'''
[[File:Add alt text from a halfsheet, with the article behind.png|thumb|A screenshot of the interface for the Alt Text suggested-edit feature]]
* Editors who use the iOS Wikipedia app in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Chinese, may see the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits project/Alt Text Experiment|Alt Text suggested-edit experiment]] after editing an article, or completing a suggested edit using &quot;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits project#Hypothesis 2 Add an Image Suggested Edit|Add an image]]&quot;. Alt-text helps people with visual impairments to read Wikipedia articles. The team aims to learn if adding alt-text to images is a task that editors can be successful with. Please share any feedback on [[mw:Talk:Wikimedia Apps/iOS Suggested edits project/Alt Text Experiment|the discussion page]].
* The Codex color palette has been updated with new and revised colors for the MediaWiki user interfaces. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Design System Team/Color/Design documentation#Updates|most noticeable changes]] for editors include updates for: dark mode colors for Links and for quiet Buttons (progressive and destructive), visited Link colors for both light and dark modes, and background colors for system-messages in both light and dark modes.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] It is now possible to include clickable wikilinks and external links inside code blocks. This includes links that are used within &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;syntaxhighlight&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tags and on code pages (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto and Sanitized CSS). Uses of template syntax &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{…}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; are also linked to the template page. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368166]
* Two bugs were fixed in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Account vanishing|GlobalVanishRequest]] system by improving the logging and by removing an incorrect placeholder message. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370595][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T372223]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] From [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Enterprise|Wikimedia Enterprise]]: 
** The API now enables 5,000 on-demand API requests per month and twice-monthly HTML snapshots freely (gratis and libre). More information on the updates and also improvements to the software development kits (SDK) are explained on [https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/enhanced-free-api/ the project's blog post]. While Wikimedia Enterprise APIs are designed for high-volume commercial reusers, this change enables many more community use-cases to be built on the service too.
** The Snapshot API (html dumps) have added beta Structured Contents endpoints ([https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/structured-contents-snapshot-api/ blog post on that]) as well as released two beta datasets (English and French Wikipedia) from that endpoint to Hugging Face for public use and feedback ([https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/hugging-face-dataset/ blog post on that]). These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.

'''In depth'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) is used to get answers to questions using the Wikidata data set. As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split|WDQS Graph Split project]], we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the &quot;[https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org scholarly]&quot; and &quot;[https://query-main.wikidata.org main]&quot; subgraphs of Wikidata. The [http://query.wikidata.org query.wikidata.org endpoint] will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph. For more information, please see [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS backend update/September 2024 scaling update|the announcement on Wikidata]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* Readers of [[phab:T375401|42 more wikis]] can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the [https://night-mode-checker.wmcloud.org/ night-mode-checker tool] if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Recommendations for night mode compatibility on Wikimedia wikis|recommendations page]] provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month.
* Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;?veaction=editsource&lt;/code&gt; to the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in [[Special:Preferences#mw-input-wpvisualeditor-newwikitext|your preferences]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T239796]
* For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the &quot;donate&quot; link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to &quot;Create an account&quot;. This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373585]
* The CampaignEvents extension provides tools for organizers to more easily manage events, communicate with participants, and promote their events on the wikis. The extension has been [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|enabled]] on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should [[wikitech:Wikitech/SUL-migration|check if any action is required]] for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis.

'''In depth'''
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|server switch]] was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of [[wikitech:Switch Datacenter#Past Switches|only 2 minutes 46 seconds]]. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools|DiscussionTools]], which is used on any regular talk page. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured Discussions/Deprecation#Deprecation timeline|A first set of wikis]] are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Structured_Discussions/Deprecation][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370722]
* WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A [[phab:T332342|change last week]] on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;''hastemplate''&lt;/bdi&gt; and &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;''incategory''&lt;/bdi&gt; keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:TJones_%28WMF%29/Notes/Language_Analyzer_Harmonization_Notes#ASCII-folding/ICU-folding_%28T332342%29]
* View all {{formatnum:20}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:20|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check|EditCheck]] was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Editors who use the Toolforge tool [[toolforge:copyvios|Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector]] will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the &quot;search engine&quot; option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Authentication_is_now_required_for_search_engine_checks_on_Earwig's_Copyvio_Tool]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator|Phabricator]] users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Phabricator/Help#Using email|Sending email to Phabricator]] has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T356077]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;bdi&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Stable interface policy/Frontend#What is not stable?|not recommended]] and might break at any time. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T375975]

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Mobile Apps team has released an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Navigation Refresh#Phase 1: Creating a user Profile Menu (T373714)|update]] to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the &quot;Donate&quot; button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Navigation Refresh|navigation refresh]] to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.
[[File:IOS App Navigation refresh first phase 05.png|thumb|iOS Wikipedia App's profile menu and contents]]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments|Content Discovery Experiments page]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Newsletter:Web team's projects|subscribe to their newsletter]].
* Later this month, logged-out editors of [[phab:T376499|these 12 wikis]] will start to have [[mw:Special:Mylanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/User account types|type of user account]]. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|Guidance on how to update the code is available]]. Read more about the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|deployment plan across all wikis]].
* View all {{formatnum:33}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:33|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, the [[w:nr:Main Page|South Ndebele]], [[w:rsk:Главни бок|Pannonian Rusyn]], [[w:ann:Uwu|Obolo]], [[w:iba:Lambar Keterubah|Iban]] and [[w:tdd:ᥞᥨᥝᥴ ᥘᥣᥲ ᥖᥥᥰ|Tai Nüa]] Wikipedia languages were created last week. [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36785][https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q35660][https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36614][https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q33424][https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36556]
* It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new [[f:Z6005|Wikidata lexeme type]] launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2024-10-17#Function of the Week: select representation from lexeme|the latest Wikifunctions newsletter]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;{{[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##timef|#timef]]:…}}&lt;/code&gt; parser function. For example, &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#timef:now|date|en}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; will show as &quot;&lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;{{#timef:now|date|en}}&lt;/bdi&gt;&quot;. Previously, &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#time:…}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;#timef&lt;/code&gt; (or &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;#timefl&lt;/code&gt; for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223772][https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##timef]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Commons and Meta users can now efficiently [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#Localization|retrieve the user's language]] using &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{USERLANGUAGE}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; instead of using &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{int:lang}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T4085]
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council|Product and Tech Advisory Council]] (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the [[Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Initiatives/Technology Council|Movement Strategy's Technology Council]] initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy/Initiatives/Technology_Council]

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] In &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[mw:MediaWiki_1.44/wmf.2|1.44.0-wmf-2]]&lt;/code&gt;, the logic of Wikibase function &lt;code&gt;getAllStatements&lt;/code&gt; changed to behave like &lt;code&gt;getBestStatements&lt;/code&gt;. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T270851]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/ Wikimedia REST API] users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:REST API|MediaWiki REST API]] endpoints. The [[phab:T374683|impacted endpoints]] include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related [[phab:T374683|Phabricator ticket]].

'''In depth'''
* Admins and users of the Wikimedia projects [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator_Tools/Automoderator#Usage|where Automoderator is enabled]] can now monitor and evaluate important metrics related to Automoderator's actions. [https://superset.wmcloud.org/superset/dashboard/unified-automoderator-activity-dashboard/ This Superset dashboard] calculates and aggregates metrics about Automoderator's behaviour on the projects in which it is deployed.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Two new parser functions were added this week. The &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#interwikilink|#interwikilink]]&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; function adds an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links#Interwiki links|interwiki link]] and the &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#interlanguagelink|#interlanguagelink]]&lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; function adds an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links#Interlanguage links|interlanguage link]]. These parser functions are useful on wikis where namespaces conflict with interwiki prefixes. For example, links beginning with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;MOS:&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; on English Wikipedia [[phab:T363538|conflict with the &lt;code&gt;mos&lt;/code&gt; language code prefix of Mooré Wikipedia]].
* Starting this week, Wikimedia wikis no longer support connections using old RSA-based HTTPS certificates, specifically rsa-2048. This change is to improve security for all users. Some older, unsupported browser or smartphone devices will be unable to connect; Instead, they will display a connectivity error. See the [[wikitech:HTTPS/Browser_Recommendations|HTTPS Browser Recommendations page]] for more-detailed information. All modern operating systems and browsers are always able to reach Wikimedia projects. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/CTYEHVNSXUD3NFAAMG3BLZVTVQWJXJAH/]
* Starting December 16, Flow/Structured Discussions pages will be automatically archived and set to read-only at the following wikis: &lt;bdi&gt;arwiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;cawiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;frwiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;mediawikiwiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;orwiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;wawiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;wawiktionary&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;wikidatawiki&lt;/bdi&gt;{{int:comma-separator/en}}&lt;bdi&gt;zhwiki&lt;/bdi&gt;.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* In late February, temporary accounts will be rolled out on at least 10 large wikis. This deployment will have a significant effect on the community-maintained code. This is about Toolforge tools, bots, gadgets, and user scripts that use IP address data or that are available for logged-out users. The Trust and Safety Product team wants to identify this code, monitor it, and assist in updating it ahead of the deployment to minimize disruption to workflows. The team asks technical editors and volunteer developers to help identify such tools by adding them to [[mw:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers/Impacted tools|this list]]. In addition, review the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|updated documentation]] to learn how to adjust the tools. Join the discussions on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|project talk page]] or in the [[discord:channels/221049808784326656/1227616742340034722|dedicated thread]] on the [[w:Wikipedia:Discord|Wikimedia Community Discord server (in English)]] for support and to share feedback.

* Technical documentation contributors can find updated resources, and new ways to connect with each other and the Wikimedia Technical Documentation Team, at the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Documentation|Documentation hub]] on MediaWiki.org. This page links to: resources for writing and improving documentation, a new &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;#wikimedia-techdocs&lt;/bdi&gt; IRC channel on libera.chat, a listing of past and upcoming documentation events, and ways to request a documentation consultation or review. If you have any feedback or ideas for improvements to the documentation ecosystem, please [[mw:Wikimedia Technical Documentation Team#Contact us|contact the Technical Documentation Team]].

'''Updates for editors'''
[[File:Edit Check on Desktop.png|thumb|Layout change for the Edit Check feature]]
* Later this week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check|Edit Check]] will be relocated to a sidebar on desktop. Edit check is the feature for new editors to help them follow policies and guidelines. This layout change creates space to present people with [[mw:Edit check#1 November 2024|new Checks]] that appear ''while'' they are typing. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check#Reference Check A/B Test|initial results]] show newcomers encountering Edit Check are 2.2 times more likely to publish a new content edit that includes a reference and is not reverted.
* The Chart extension, which enables editors to create data visualizations, was successfully made available on MediaWiki.org and three pilot wikis (Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedias). You can see a working examples [[testwiki:Charts|on Testwiki]] and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|the November project update]] for more details.
* Translators in wikis where the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation/Section translation#Try the tool|mobile experience of Content Translation is available]], can now discover articles in Wikiproject campaigns of their interest from the &quot;[https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ContentTranslation&amp;campaign=specialcx&amp;filter-type=automatic&amp;filter-id=collections&amp;active-list=suggestions&amp;from=es&amp;to=en All collection]&quot; category in the articles suggestion feature. Wikiproject Campaign organizers can use this feature, to help translators to discover articles of interest, by adding the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;page-collection&gt; &lt;/page-collection&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tag to their campaign article list page on Meta-wiki. This will make those articles discoverable in the Content Translation tool. For more detailed information on how to use the tool and tag, please refer to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Translation suggestions: Topic-based &amp; Community-defined lists/How to use the features|the step-by-step guide]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378958]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Nuke|Nuke]] feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, now has a [[phab:T376379#10310998|multiselect filter for namespace selection]]. This enables users to select multiple specific namespaces, instead of only one or all, when fetching pages for deletion.
* The Nuke feature also now [[phab:T364225#10371365|provides links]] to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions. Thanks to Chlod and the Moderator Tools team for both of these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T364225#10371365]
* The Editing Team is working on making it easier to populate citations from archive.org using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|Citoid]] tool, the auto-filled citation generator. They are asking communities to add two parameters preemptively, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;archiveUrl&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;archiveDate&lt;/code&gt;, within the TemplateData for each citation template using Citoid. You can see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACite_web%2Fdoc&amp;diff=1261320172&amp;oldid=1260788022 example of a change in a template], and a [https://global-search.toolforge.org/?namespaces=10&amp;q=%5C%22citoid%5C%22%3A%20%5C%7B&amp;regex=1&amp;title= list of all relevant templates].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Codex]], the design system for Wikimedia, now has an early-stage [[git:design/codex-php|implementation in PHP]]. It is available for general use in MediaWiki extensions and Toolforge apps through [https://packagist.org/packages/wikimedia/codex Composer], with use in MediaWiki core coming soon. More information is available in [[wmdoc:design-codex-php/main/index.html|the documentation]]. Thanks to Doğu for the inspiration and many contributions to the library. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379662]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/ Wikimedia REST API] users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. On December 4, the MediaWiki Interfaces team began rerouting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content endpoints on [[testwiki:|testwiki]] from RESTbase to comparable MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The team encourages active users of these endpoints to verify their tool's behavior on testwiki and raise any concerns on the related [[phab:T374683|Phabricator ticket]] before the end of the year, as they intend to roll out the same change across all Wikimedia projects in early January. These changes are part of the work to replace the outdated [[mw:RESTBase/deprecation|RESTBase]] system.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Users of the iOS Wikipedia App in Italy and Mexico on the Italian, Spanish, and English Wikipedias, can see a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review|personalized Year in Review]] with insights based on their reading and editing history.
* Users of the Android Wikipedia App in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia can see the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Rabbit Holes|Rabbit Holes]] feature. This feature shows a suggested search term in the Search bar based on the current article being viewed, and a suggested reading list generated from the user’s last two visited articles.
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|global reminder bot]] is now active and running on nearly 800 wikis. This service reminds most users holding temporary rights when they are about to expire, so that they can renew should they want to. See [[m:Global reminder bot/Technical details|the technical details page]] for more information.
* The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 13 January 2025 because of the end of year holidays. Thank you to all of the translators, and people who submitted content or feedback, this year.

* The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3#Deployment|the SUL3 project page]] for more details and a timeline.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting [[phab:T374683|some page content endpoints]] from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the [[phab:project/view/6931/|MediaWiki Interfaces Team]] in Phabricator if they arise.
* Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. [[wikitech:Wikimedia Cloud Services team/EnhancementProposals/Toolforge UI|Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI]]. 
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/For Developers#Identifying the user|OAuth 1]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/For Developers#Identifying the user 2|OAuth 2]] returned a JSON object with an integer in its &lt;code&gt;sub&lt;/code&gt; field, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T382139]
* Many wikis currently use [[:mw:Parsoid/Parser Unification/Cite CSS|Cite CSS]] to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to ''not'' clean up your &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Common.css]]&lt;/bdi&gt; until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370027]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Nuke|Extension:Nuke]]. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380846]
* On [[phab:P72148|wikis that use]] the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Patrolled edits|Patrolled edits]] feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as &quot;manually patrolled&quot; instead of &quot;autopatrolled&quot;, which is more accurate. Some editors that use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:New filters for edit review/Filtering|filters]] on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings.

* iOS Wikipedia App users worldwide can now access a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/Personalized Wikipedia Year in Review/How your data is used|personalized Year in Review]] feature, which provides insights based on their reading and editing history on Wikipedia. This project is part of a broader effort to help welcome new readers as they discover and interact with encyclopedic content.
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Edit patrollers now have a new feature available that can highlight potentially problematic new pages. When a page is created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted, a tag ('Recreated') will now be added, which users can filter for in [[{{#special:RecentChanges}}]] and [[{{#special:NewPages}}]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T56145]
* Later this week, there will be a new warning for editors if they attempt to create a redirect that links to another redirect (a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Redirects#Double redirects|double redirect]]). The feature will recommend that they link directly to the second redirect's target page. Thanks to the user SomeRandomDeveloper for this improvement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326056]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Wikimedia wikis allow [[w:en:WebAuthn|WebAuthn]]-based second factor checks (such as hardware tokens) during login, but the feature is [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Miscellaneous/Fix security key (WebAuthn) support|fragile]] and has very few users. The MediaWiki Platform team is temporarily disabling adding new WebAuthn keys, to avoid interfering with the rollout of [[mw:MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|SUL3]] (single user login version 3). Existing keys are unaffected. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378402]

* For developers that use the [[wikitech:Data Platform/Data Lake/Edits/MediaWiki history dumps|MediaWiki History dumps]]: The Data Platform Engineering team has added a couple of new fields to these dumps, to support the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|Temporary Accounts]] initiative. If you maintain software that reads those dumps, please review your code and the updated documentation, since the order of the fields in the row will change.

* Editors who use the &quot;Special characters&quot; editing-toolbar menu can now see the 32 special characters you have used most recently, across editing sessions on that wiki. This change should help make it easier to find the characters you use most often. The feature is in both the 2010 wikitext editor and VisualEditor. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110722]

* Help is needed to ensure the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]] works properly on each wiki.
** (1) Administrators should update the local versions of the page &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json&lt;/code&gt; to include entries for &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;preprint&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;standard&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;dataset&lt;/code&gt;; Here are example diffs to replicate [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACitoid-template-type-map.json&amp;diff=1189164774&amp;oldid=1165783565 for 'preprint'] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACitoid-template-type-map.json&amp;diff=1270832208&amp;oldid=1270828390 for 'standard' and 'dataset'].

They have recommended focusing on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Product and Technology Advisory Council/February 2025 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback/Mobile experiences|mobile experiences]], particularly contributions. They request community [[m:Talk:Product and Technology Advisory Council/February 2025 draft PTAC recommendation for feedback|feedback at the talk page]] by 21 February.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The &quot;Special pages&quot; portlet link will be moved from the &quot;Toolbox&quot; into the &quot;Navigation&quot; section of the main menu's sidebar by default. This change is because the Toolbox is intended for tools relating to the current page, not tools relating to the site, so the link will be more logically and consistently located. To modify this behavior and update CSS styling, administrators can follow the instructions at [[phab:T385346|T385346]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333211]
* As part of this year's work around improving the ways readers discover content on the wikis, the Web team will be running an experiment with a small number of readers that displays some suggestions for related or interesting articles within the search bar. Please check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments#Experiment 1: Display article recommendations in more prominent locations, search|the project page]] for more information.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Template editors who use TemplateStyles can now customize output for users with specific accessibility needs by using accessibility related media queries (&lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion prefers-reduced-motion]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-transparency prefers-reduced-transparency]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-contrast prefers-contrast]&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/forced-colors forced-colors]&lt;/code&gt;).

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Wikidata [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Default values for labels and aliases|now supports a special language as a &quot;default for all languages&quot;]] for labels and aliases. This is to avoid excessive duplication of the same information across many languages. If your Wikidata queries use labels, you may need to update them as some existing labels are getting removed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T312511]
* The function &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;getDescription&lt;/code&gt; was invoked on every Wiki page read and accounts for ~2.5% of a page's total load time. The calculated value will now be cached, reducing load on Wikimedia servers. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383660]
* As part of the RESTBase deprecation [[mw:RESTBase/deprecation|effort]], the &lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;/page/related&lt;/code&gt; endpoint has been blocked as of February 6, 2025, and will be removed soon. This timeline was chosen to align with the deprecation schedules for older Android and iOS versions. The stable alternative is the &quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;morelike&lt;/code&gt;&quot; action API in MediaWiki, and [[gerrit:c/mediawiki/services/mobileapps/+/982154/13/pagelib/src/transform/FooterReadMore.js|a migration example]] is available.

* Communities using growth tools can now showcase one event on the &lt;code&gt;{{#special:Homepage}}&lt;/code&gt; for newcomers. This feature will help newcomers to be informed about editing activities they can participate in. Administrators can create a new event to showcase at &lt;code&gt;{{#special:CommunityConfiguration}}&lt;/code&gt;. To learn more about this feature, please read [[diffblog:2025/02/12/community-updates-module-connecting-newcomers-to-your-initiatives/|the Diff post]], have a look [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Community updates module|at the documentation]], or contact [[mw:Talk:Growth|the Growth team]].

'''Updates for editors'''
[[File:Page Frame Features on desktop.png|thumb|Highlighted talk pages improvements]]
* Starting next week, talk pages at these wikis – {{int:project-localized-name-eswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-frwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-itwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-jawiki/en}} – will get [[diffblog:2024/05/02/making-talk-pages-better-for-everyone/|a new design]]. This change was extensively tested as a Beta feature and is the last step of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Feature summary|talk pages improvements]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379102]
* You can now navigate to view a redirect page directly from its action pages, such as the history page. Previously, you were forced to first go to the redirect target. This change should help editors who work with redirects a lot. Thanks to user stjn for this improvement. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T5324]
* When a Cite reference is reused many times, wikis currently show either numbers like &quot;1.23&quot; or localized alphabetic markers like &quot;a b c&quot; in the reference list. Previously, if there were so many reuses that the alphabetic markers were all used, [[MediaWiki:Cite error references no backlink label|an error message]] was displayed.  As part of the work to [[phab:T383036|modernize Cite customization]], these errors will no longer be shown and instead the backlinks will fall back to showing numeric markers like &quot;1.23&quot; once the alphabetic markers are all used.
* The log entries for each change to an editor's user-groups are now clearer by specifying exactly what has changed, instead of the plain before and after listings. Translators can [[phab:T369466|help to update the localized versions]]. Thanks to user Msz2001 for these improvements.
* A new filter has been added to the [[{{#special:Nuke}}]] tool, which allows administrators to mass delete pages, to enable users to filter for pages in a range of page sizes (in bytes). This allows, for example, deleting pages only of a certain size or below. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378488]
* Non-administrators can now check which pages are able to be deleted using the [[{{#special:Nuke}}]] tool. Thanks to user MolecularPilot for this and the previous improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T376378]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:25}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:25|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a bug was fixed in the configuration for the AV1 video file format, which enables these files to play again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T382193]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Parsoid Read Views is going to be rolling out to most Wiktionaries over the next few weeks, following the successful transition of Wikivoyage to Parsoid Read Views last year. For more information, see the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parsoid/Parser Unification]] project page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T385923][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T371640]
* Developers of tools that run on-wiki should note that &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.Uri&lt;/code&gt; is deprecated. Tools requiring &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.Uri&lt;/code&gt; must explicitly declare &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mediawiki.Uri&lt;/code&gt; as a ResourceLoader dependency, and should migrate to the browser native &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;URL&lt;/code&gt; API soon.

* Administrators can now customize how the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/User language|Babel feature]] creates categories using [[{{#special:CommunityConfiguration/Babel}}]]. They can rename language categories, choose whether they should be auto-created, and adjust other settings. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374348]

Additionally, all of the Wikimedia project portals, such as &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[https://wikibooks.org wikibooks.org]&lt;/bdi&gt;, now support dark mode when a reader is using that system setting. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373204][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368221][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Project_portals]

* All logged-in editors using the mobile view can now edit a full page.

The Cite footnote markers (&quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[1]&lt;/code&gt;&quot;) are now rendered by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid|Parsoid]], and the deprecated CSS is no longer needed. The CSS for backlinks (&quot;&lt;code dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;mw:referencedBy&lt;/code&gt;&quot;) should remain in place for now. This cleanup is expected to cause no visible changes for readers. Please help to remove this code before March 20, after which the development team will do it for you.
* When editors embed a file (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[File:MediaWiki.png]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;) on a page that is protected with cascading protection, the software will no longer restrict edits to the file description page, only to new file uploads.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T24521] In contrast, transcluding a file description page (e.g. &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{:File:MediaWiki.png}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;) will now restrict edits to the page.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T62109]
* When editors revert a file to an earlier version it will now require the same permissions as ordinarily uploading a new version of the file. The software now checks for 'reupload' or 'reupload-own' rights,[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T304474] and respects cascading protection.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140010]
* When administrators are listing pages for deletion with the Nuke tool, they can now also list associated talk pages and redirects for deletion, alongside pages created by the target, rather than needing to manually delete these pages afterwards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95797]
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/03|previously noted]] update to Single User Login, which will accommodate browser restrictions on cross-domain cookies by moving login and account creation to a central domain, will now roll out to all users during March and April. The team plans to enable it for all new account creation on [[wikitech:Deployments/Train#Tuesday|Group0]] wikis this week. See [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3#Deployment|the SUL3 project page]] for more details and an updated timeline.
* Since last week there has been a bug that shows some interface icons as black squares until the page has fully loaded. It will be fixed this week. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T387351]
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia/en}} in [[d:Q2044560|Sylheti]] ([[w:syl:|&lt;code&gt;w:syl:&lt;/code&gt;]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386441]

'''Updates for editors'''
* Editors who use password managers at multiple wikis may notice changes in the future. The way that our wikis provide information to password managers about reusing passwords across domains has recently been updated, so some password managers might now offer you login credentials that you saved for a different Wikimedia site. Some password managers already did this, and are now doing it for more Wikimedia domains. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|SUL3 project]] which aims to improve how our unified login works, and to keep it compatible with ongoing changes to the web-browsers we use. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T385520][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384844]
* The Wikipedia Apps Team is inviting interested users to help improve Wikipedia’s offline and limited internet use. After discussions in [[m:Afrika Baraza|Afrika Baraza]] and the last [[m:Special:MyLanguage/ESEAP Hub/Meetings|ESEAP call]], key challenges like search, editing, and offline access are being explored, with upcoming focus groups to dive deeper into these topics.

* Twice a year, around the equinoxes, the Wikimedia Foundation's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team performs [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|a datacenter server switchover]], redirecting all traffic from one primary server to its backup. This provides reliability in case of a crisis, as we can always fall back on the other datacenter.

* On Wikimedia Commons, a [[c:Commons:WMF support for Commons/Upload Wizard Improvements#Improve category selection|new system to select the appropriate file categories]] has been introduced: if a category has one or more subcategories, users will be able to click on an arrow that will open the subcategories directly within the form, and choose the correct one. The parent category name will always be shown on top, and it will always be possible to come back to it. This should decrease the amount of work for volunteers in fixing/creating new categories. The change is also available on mobile. These changes are part of planned improvements to the UploadWizard.
* The Community Tech team is seeking wikis to join a pilot for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|Multiblocks]] feature and a refreshed Special:Block page in late March. Multiblocks enables administrators to impose multiple different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. If you are an admin or steward and would like us to discuss joining the pilot with your community, please leave a message on the [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|project talk page]].
* Starting March 25, the Editing team will test a new feature for Edit Check at [[phab:T384372|12 Wikipedias]]: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Multi-check|Multi-Check]]. Half of the newcomers on these wikis will see all [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#ref|Reference Checks]] during their edit session, while the other half will continue seeing only one. The goal of this test is to see if users are confused or discouraged when shown multiple Reference Checks (when relevant) within a single editing session. At these wikis, the tags used on edits that show References Check will be simplified, as multiple tags could be shown within a single edit. Changes to the tags are documented [[phab:T373949|on Phabricator]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379131]
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global reminder bot|Global reminder bot]], which is a service for notifying users that their temporary user-rights are about to expire, now supports using the localized name of the user-rights group in the message heading. Translators can see the [[m:Global reminder bot/Translation|listing of existing translations and documentation]] to check if their language needs updating or creation.
* The [[Special:GlobalPreferences|GlobalPreferences]] gender setting, which is used for how the software should refer to you in interface messages, now works as expected by overriding the local defaults. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386584]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Later this week, the way that Codex styles are loaded will be changing. There is a small risk that this may result in unstyled interface message boxes on certain pages. User generated content (e.g. templates) is not impacted. Gadgets may be impacted. If you see any issues [[phab:T388847|please report them]]. See the linked task for details, screenshots, and documentation on how to fix any affected gadgets.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking your feedback on the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Product &amp; Technology OKRs|drafts of the objectives and key results that will shape the Foundation's Product and Technology priorities]] for the next fiscal year (starting in July). The objectives are broad high-level areas, and the key-results are measurable ways to track the success of their objectives. Please share your feedback on the talkpage, in any language, ideally before the end of April.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] will be released to multiple wikis (see [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status#Global Deployment Plan|deployment plan]] for details) in April 2025, and the team has begun the process of engaging communities on the identified wikis. The extension provides tools to organize, manage, and promote collaborative activities (like events, edit-a-thons, and WikiProjects) on the wikis. The extension has three tools: [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]], [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaboration list|Collaboration List]], and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Invitation list|Invitation Lists]]. It is currently on 13 Wikipedias, including English Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, and Spanish Wikipedia, as well as Wikidata. Questions or requests can be directed to the [[mw:Help talk:Extension:CampaignEvents|extension talk page]] or in Phabricator (with &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;#campaigns-product-team&lt;/bdi&gt; tag).
* Starting the week of March 31st, wikis will be able to set which user groups can view private registrants in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]], as part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents]] extension. By default, event organizers and the local wiki admins will be able to see private registrants. This is a change from the current behavior, in which only event organizers can see private registrants. Wikis can change the default setup by [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Requesting wiki configuration changes|requesting a configuration change]] in Phabricator (and adding the &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;#campaigns-product-team&lt;/bdi&gt; tag). Participants of past events can cancel their registration at any time.
* Administrators at wikis that have a customized &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]&lt;/bdi&gt; should check that it contains an entry for the {{int:specialpages}} listing. If it does not, they should add it using &lt;code dir=ltr style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;* specialpages-url|specialpages&lt;/code&gt;. Wikis with a default sidebar will see the link moved from the page toolbox into the sidebar menu in April. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T388927]
* The Minerva skin (mobile web) combines both Notice and Alert notifications within the bell icon ([[File:OOjs UI icon bell.svg|16px|link=|class=skin-invert]]). There was a long-standing bug where an indication for new notifications was only shown if you had unseen Alerts. This bug is now fixed. In the future, Minerva users will notice a counter atop the bell icon when you have 1 or more unseen Notices and/or Alerts. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T344029]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* VisualEditor has introduced a [[mw:VisualEditor/Hooks|new client-side hook]] for developers to use when integrating with the VisualEditor target lifecycle. This hook should replace the existing lifecycle-related hooks, and be more consistent between different platforms. In addition, the new hook will apply to uses of VisualEditor outside of just full article editing, allowing gadgets to interact with the editor in DiscussionTools as well. The Editing Team intends to deprecate and eventually remove the old lifecycle hooks, so any use cases that this new hook does not cover would be of interest to them and can be [[phab:T355555|shared in the task]].
* Developers who use the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.Api&lt;/code&gt; JavaScript library, can now identify the tool using it with the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;userAgent&lt;/code&gt; parameter: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;var api = new mw.Api( { userAgent: 'GadgetNameHere/1.0.1' } );&lt;/code&gt;. If you maintain a gadget or user script, please set a user agent, because it helps with library and server maintenance and with differentiating between legitimate and illegitimate traffic.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Editing team is working on a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit Check|Edit check]]: [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check#26 March 2025|Peacock check]]. This check's goal is to identify non-neutral terms while a user is editing a wikipage, so that they can be informed that their edit should perhaps be changed before they publish it. This project is at the early stages, and the team is looking for communities' input: [[phab:T389445|in this Phabricator task]], they are gathering on-wiki policies, templates used to tag non-neutral articles, and the terms (jargon and keywords) used in edit summaries for the languages they are currently researching. You can participate by editing the table on Phabricator, commenting on the task, or directly messaging [[m:user:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek (WMF)]].
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Platform Team/SUL3|Single User Login]] has now been updated on all wikis to move login and account creation to a central domain. This makes user login compatible with browser restrictions on cross-domain cookies, which have prevented users of some browsers from staying logged in.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting on March 31st, the MediaWiki Interfaces team will begin a limited release of generated OpenAPI specs and a SwaggerUI-based sandbox experience for [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:REST API|MediaWiki REST APIs]]. They invite developers from a limited group of non-English Wikipedia communities (Arabic, German, French, Hebrew, Interlingua, Dutch, Chinese) to review the documentation and experiment with the sandbox in their preferred language. In addition to these specific Wikipedia projects, the sandbox and OpenAPI spec will be available on the [[testwiki:Special:RestSandbox|on the test wiki REST Sandbox special page]] for developers with English as their preferred language. During the preview period, the MediaWiki Interfaces Team also invites developers to [[mw:MediaWiki Interfaces Team/Feature Feedback/REST Sandbox|share feedback about your experience]]. The preview will last for approximately 2 weeks, after which the sandbox and OpenAPI specs will be made available across all wiki projects.

'''In depth'''
* Sometimes a small, [[gerrit:c/operations/cookbooks/+/1129184|one line code change]] can have great significance: in this case, it means that for the first time in years we're able to run all of the stack serving &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[http://maps.wikimedia.org/ maps.wikimedia.org]&lt;/bdi&gt; - a host dedicated to serving our wikis and their multi-lingual maps needs - from a single core datacenter, something we test every time we perform a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch|datacenter switchover]]. This is important because it means that in case one of our datacenters is affected by a catastrophe, we'll still be able to serve the site. This change is the result of [[phab:T216826|extensive work]] by two developers on porting the last component of the maps stack over to [[w:en:Kubernetes|kubernetes]], where we can allocate resources more efficiently than before, thus we're able to withstand more traffic in a single datacenter. This work involved a lot of complicated steps because this software, and the software libraries it uses, required many long overdue upgrades. This type of work makes the Wikimedia infrastructure more sustainable.

'''Meetings and events'''
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop Spring 2025|MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop Spring 2025]] is happening in Sandusky, USA, and online, from 14–16 May 2025. The workshop will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users. Registration and presentation signup is now available at the workshop's website.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* Later this week, the default thumbnail size will be increased from 220px to 250px. This changes how pages are shown in all wikis and has been requested by some communities for many years, but wasn't previously possible due to technical limitations. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T355914]
* File thumbnails are now stored in discrete sizes. If a page specifies a thumbnail size that's not among the standard sizes (20, 40, 60, 120, 250, 330, 500, 960), then MediaWiki will pick the closest larger thumbnail size but will tell the browser to downscale it to the requested size. In these cases, nothing will change visually but users might load slightly larger images. If it doesn't matter which thumbnail size is used in a page, please pick one of the standard sizes to avoid the extra in-browser down-scaling step.

This is so that they can more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for.
* To improve security for users, a small percentage of logins will now require that the account owner input a one-time password [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:EmailAuth|emailed to their account]]. It is recommended that you [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal-email|check]] that the email address on your account is set correctly, and that it has been confirmed, and that you have an email set for this purpose. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390662]
* &quot;Are you interested in taking a short survey to improve tools used for reviewing or reverting edits on your Wiki?&quot; This question will be [[phab:T389401|asked at 7 wikis starting next week]], on Recent Changes and Watchlist pages. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Moderator Tools|Moderator Tools team]] wants to know more about activities that involve looking at new edits made to your Wikimedia project, and determining whether they adhere to your project's policies.

* [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Main Page|Wikifunctions]] is now integrated with [[w:dag:Solɔɣu|Dagbani Wikipedia]] since April 15. It is the first project that will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in articles. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template.

'''Updates for editors'''
* For wikis that have the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|CampaignEvents extension enabled]], two new feature improvements have been released:
** Admins can now choose which namespaces are permitted for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] via [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]] ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Permitted namespaces|documentation]]). The default setup is for event registration to be permitted in the Event namespace, but other namespaces (such as the project namespace or WikiProject namespace) can now be added. With this change, communities like WikiProjects can now more easily use Event Registration for their collaborative activities.
** Editors can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Transclusion|transclude]] the Collaboration List on a wiki page ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration list/Transclusion|documentation]]). The Collaboration List is an automated list of events and WikiProjects on the wikis, accessed via {{#special:AllEvents}} ([[w:en:Special:AllEvents|example]]). Now, the Collaboration List can be added to all sorts of wiki pages, such as: a wiki mainpage, a WikiProject page, an affiliate page, an event page, or even a user page.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Developers who use the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library in gadgets and user scripts should revise their code to use alternatives like the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;Intl&lt;/code&gt; library or the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mediawiki.DateFormatter&lt;/code&gt; library. The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;moment&lt;/code&gt; library has been deprecated and will begin to log messages in the developer console. You can see a global search for current uses, and [[phab:T392532|ask related questions in this Phabricator task]].
* Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikidata term store tables (&lt;code dir=ltr style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;wbt_*&lt;/code&gt;) need to update their code to connect to a separate database cluster. These tables are being split into a separate database cluster. Tools that query those tables via the wiki replicas must be adapted to connect to the new cluster instead. [[wikitech:News/2025 Wikidata term store database split|Documentation and related links are available]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390954]

* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia URL Shortener|&quot;Get shortened URL&quot;]] link on the sidebar now includes a [[phab:T393309|QR code]]. Wikimedia site users can now use it by scanning or downloading it to quickly share and access shared content from Wikimedia sites, conveniently.

'''Updates for editors'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation is working on a system called [[m:Edge Uniques|Edge Uniques]], which will enable [[w:en:A/B testing|A/B testing]], help protect against [[w:en:Denial-of-service attack|distributed denial-of-service attacks]] (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is to help more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. Tech News has [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/16|previously written about this]]. The deployment will be gradual. Some might see the Edge Uniques cookie the week of 19 May. You can discuss this on the [[m:Talk:Edge Uniques|talk page]].
* Starting May 19, 2025, Event organisers in wikis with the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] enabled can use [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] in the project namespace (e.g., Wikipedia namespace, Wikidata namespace). With this change, communities don't need admins to use the feature. However, wikis that don't want this change can remove and add the permitted namespaces at [[Special:CommunityConfiguration/CampaignEvents]].
* The Wikipedia project now has a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia/en}} in [[d:Q36720|Nupe]] ([[w:nup:|&lt;code&gt;w:nup:&lt;/code&gt;]]). This is a language primarily spoken in the North Central region of Nigeria. Speakers of this language are invited to contribute to [[w:nup:Tatacin feregi|new Wikipedia]].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The Editing Team and the Machine Learning Team are working on a new check for newcomers: [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check|Peacock check]]. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits, using artificial intelligence. We invite volunteers to review the first version of the Peacock language model for the following languages: Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Japanese. Users from these wikis interested in reviewing this model are [[mw:Edit check/Peacock check/model test|invited to sign up at MediaWiki.org]]. The deadline to sign up is on May 23, which will be the start date of the test.

'''Updates for editors'''

* From May 20, 2025, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|oversighters]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:CheckUsers|checkusers]] will need to have their accounts secured with two-factor authentication (2FA) to be able to use their advanced rights. All users who belong to these two groups and do not have 2FA enabled have been informed. In the future, this requirement may be extended to other users with advanced rights. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|Learn more]].
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]]  [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|Multiblocks]] will begin mass deployment by the end of the month: all non-Wikipedia projects plus Catalan Wikipedia will adopt Multiblocks in the week of May 26, while all other Wikipedias will adopt it in the week of June 2. Please [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks|contact the team]] if you have concerns. Administrators can test the new user interface now on your own wiki by browsing to [{{fullurl:Special:Block|usecodex=1}} {{#special:Block}}?usecodex=1], and can test the full multiblocks functionality [[testwiki:Special:Block|on testwiki]]. Multiblocks is the feature that makes it possible for administrators to impose different types of blocks on the same user at the same time. See the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manage blocks|help page]] for more information. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T377121]
* Later this week, the [[{{#special:SpecialPages}}]] listing of almost all special pages will be updated with a new design. This page has been [[phab:T219543|redesigned]] to improve the user experience in a few ways, including: The ability to search for names and aliases of the special pages, sorting, more visible marking of restricted special pages, and a more mobile-friendly look. The new version can be [https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages previewed] at Beta Cluster now, and feedback shared in the task. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219543]

* [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Main Page|Wikifunctions]] will be deployed on May 27 on five Wiktionaries: [[wikt:ha:|Hausa]], [[wikt:ig:|Igbo]], [[wikt:bn:|Bengali]], [[wikt:ml:|Malayalam]], and [[wikt:dv:|Dhivehi/Maldivian]]. This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template.
* Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for [[diffblog:2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/|experiments]].

* The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;mw.title&lt;/code&gt; object allows you to get information about a specific wiki page in the [[w:en:Wikipedia:Lua|Lua]] programming language. Starting this week, a new property will be added to the object, named &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;isDisambiguationPage&lt;/code&gt;. This property allows you to check if a page is a disambiguation page, without the need to write a custom function. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71441]

&lt;section begin=&quot;technews-2025-W22&quot;/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;plainlinks&quot;&gt;
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/22|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]] is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]], and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Since last week, on all wikis except [[phab:T388604|the largest 20]], people using the mobile visual editor will have [[phab:T385851|additional tools in the menu bar]], accessed using the new &lt;code&gt;+&lt;/code&gt; toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]&lt;/code&gt; parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019]
* This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future.
* Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]].
* Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393844]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:32}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:32|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]].

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* The previously deprecated &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Ipblocks table|ipblocks]]&lt;/code&gt; views in [[wikitech:Help:Wiki Replicas|Wiki Replicas]] will be removed in the beginning of June. Users are encouraged to query the new &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block table|block]]&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block target table|block_target]]&lt;/code&gt; views instead.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.3|MediaWiki]]

'''Meetings and events'''
* [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects|Wikidata and Sister Projects]] is a multi-day online event that will focus on how Wikidata is integrated to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. The event runs from May 29 – June 1. You can [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects#Sessions|read the Program schedule]] and [[d:Special:RegisterForEvent/1291|register]].

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;_default&lt;/code&gt; key in the local &lt;bdi lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]&lt;/bdi&gt; page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384709]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=clientlogin&lt;/code&gt; will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;action=login&lt;/code&gt; without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205]
* From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is &lt;bdi lang=&quot;zxx&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;async&lt;/code&gt;/&lt;code&gt;await&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/bdi&gt; syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381537]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.4|MediaWiki]]

'''Meetings and events'''
* Scholarship applications to participate in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/GLAM Wiki 2025|GLAM Wiki Conference 2025]] are now open. The conference will take place from 30 October to 1 November, in Lisbon, Portugal. GLAM contributors who lack the means to support their participation can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/GLAM Wiki 2025/Scholarships|apply here]]. Scholarship applications close on June 7th.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]]. If you have any comments or questions, write on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|talk page]], and [[m:Event:CEE Catch up Nr. 10 (June 2025)|join a CEE Catch Up]] this Tuesday.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist expiry|watchlist expiry]] feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist-pageswatchlist|preferences]] also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265716]
[[File:Talk pages default look (April 2023).jpg|thumb|alt=Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages|Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.]]
* The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/19|some]] have already received this design change, [[phab:T379264|a few]] will get these changes later). You can read details about the changes [[diffblog:2024/05/02/making-talk-pages-better-for-everyone/|on ''Diff'']].

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T319146][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T392121]
* Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts [[phab:T358853|revealed automatically]] during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386492]
* This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-afwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cywiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hawwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-iswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-simplewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T340001]
* Later this week, the Editing team will release [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Multi check|Multi Check]] to all Wikipedias (except English Wikipedia). This feature shows multiple [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check#Reference check|Reference checks]] within the editing experience. This encourages users to add citations when they add multiple new paragraphs to a Wikipedia article. This feature was previously available as an A/B test. [https://analytics.wikimedia.org/published/reports/editing/multi_check_ab_test_report_final.html#summary-of-results The test shows] that users who are shown multiple checks are 1.3 times more likely to add a reference to their edit, and their edit is less likely to be reverted (-34.7%). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395519]
* A few pages need to be renamed due to software updates and to match more recent Unicode standards. All of these changes are related to title-casing changes. Approximately 71 pages and 3 files will be renamed, across 15 wikis; the complete list is in [[phab:T396903|the task]]. The developers will rename these pages next week, and they will fix redirects and embedded file links a few minutes later via a system settings update.

Julia Stonor, Marquise of Hautpoul, sister, and brother the Hon. Julian Stonor attended the ball as Else and Lohengrin from an early 1890s production of the opera in Paris. This production, the first production leading to an actual run of the opera in Paris, [[Social Victorians/Timeline/1891#September 1891|opened at the Palais Garnier on 16 September 1891]], with Ernest Van Dyck as Lohengrin and Rose Caron as Else.[[File:Julia-Caroline-ne-Stonor-Marquise-dHautpoul-de-Seyre-as-Elsa-from-Lohengrin.jpg|thumb|left|alt=Black-and-white photograph of a standing woman richly dressed in an historical costume|Julia, Marquise d'Hautpoul de Seyre as Elsa from ''Lohengrin''. ©National Portrait Gallery, London.]][[File:Rose Caron Lohengrin.jpeg|thumb|alt=Black-and-white photograph of a standing woman in a medieval-style dress and crown|Opera soprano Rose Caron wearing the 1891 original of the costume worn by Julia, Marquise d'Hautpoul]]

Hon. Harry Julian Stonor came dressed as Lohengrin.

Lafayette's portrait (left) of &quot;Sir Harry Stonor as Lohengrin&quot; in costume is #170 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt; The printing on the portrait says, &quot;The Hon.

National Portrait Gallery https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw158533/Sir-Harry-Stonor-as-Lohengrin.&lt;/ref&gt;

Ernest Van Dyck starred as Lohengrin (both photographs, right) in what seem to have been the same performances as Mme. Rose Caron that Julia Stonor's costume was copied from. The color photograph is from a color photogravure originally published in a book in 1895&lt;ref&gt;Fanny Morris Smith, H. E. Krehbiel and H. S. Howard. ''The Music of the Modern World : Illustrated in the Lives and Works of the Greatest Modern Musicians''. Vol. 1. Anton Seidl, ed. D. Appleton and Co., 1895. Colored typogravure plate.&lt;/ref&gt; and gives a feel for how the costume's colors worked; the black-and-white photograph shows the shield the singer carried.

== Overview ==

=== Algernon Bourke ===
Although the Hon. Algernon Henry Bourke was born in Dublin in 1854 and came from a family whose title is in the Peerage of Ireland,&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot;&gt;1911 England Census.&lt;/ref&gt; he seems to have spent much of his adult life generally in England and especially in London. He was &quot;a noted fisherman.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;London Correspondence.&quot; ''Freeman's Journal'' 21 December 1897, Tuesday: 5 [of 8], Col. 5c [of 9]. ''British Newspaper Archive'' https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000056/18971221/027/0005. Same print title, n.p.&lt;/ref&gt;

Because he was the son of the [[Social Victorians/People/Mayo|Earl of Mayo]], perhaps, or perhaps because he was so involved in projects that got reported on, he was mentioned a great deal in the newspapers, but after his bankruptcy, he seems to have receded in prominence, in part because he was living outside of the U.K., and apparently separately from his wife, Gwendolen Bourke.

Bourke ran as the Conservative candidate for Parliament from Clapham (population, c. 70,000) in 1885, a race he did not win. As a candidate he is described like this:&lt;blockquote&gt;Acted as a newspaper correspondent during the Zulu war.

&quot;Algy&quot; Bourke was &quot;Man of the Day&quot; (No. DCCII [522) for ''Vanity Fair'' in 1898, caricatured by Leslie Ward (above right):&lt;blockquote&gt;Son of the great and murdered Lord Mayo, he is contemporary with the outbreak of the Crimean War, he is a Member of the London Stock Exchange, he has a beautiful wife and a daughter, and, being a very fashionable young man, he was once refused as their Member by the worthy electors of Clapham. He was an Eton boy, of course: and less naturally he went to Cambridge; where he was made President of the Beefsteak, the Amateur Dramatic, the Athenaeum, the True Blue, and the Hibernian Clubs. When he came down he tried journalism and went to Zululand as a ''Daily Telegraph'' ‘‘special”; after which he was improved into an Inspector of Workhouses [2, Col. 2c – 3, Col. 1a] in Ireland: which may account for his proficiency as a caterer. For seven years he worked under the late Mr. Chinnery on ''The Times'': being popularly supposed to look after that journal's morals. He is a good man of business, and a great organiser who has made White's Club pay even if it be less “smart&quot; than it was. He has done much for Willis’s since he took it in hand; he did well with his Battersea venture, and he thinks that he only failed with the Summer Club in Kensington Gardens because people would not go to the wrong side of the Park. Moreover, he runs a Club at Brighton, and he is Chairman of the Grand Hotel at Monte Carlo: whither he once organised a cheap trip. Altogether he is a veritable Clubman, and a very successful arranger of amusements, associations, and restaurants.

He is a popular fellow who is known to all of us; and though he is a little inclined to be quarrelsome, no one can get much the better of him. He is also a quick grasper of facts and a good talker. His favourite sports are fishing and the organising of associations for the introduction of salmon to the Thames. By way of being an art critic, he has made an interesting collection of engravings of the members of White’s Club from its foundation; but his friends say that he is not a well-dressed man. He has also written a history of White’s, and he is now writing one of Brooks's Club. He is a genial person, who looks as if the world agreed with him well.

He is an aquisition [sic] to a house party; and they call him “Algy.”&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Men of the Day.&quot; — No. DCCII [522]. The Hon. Algernon Henry Bourke.&quot; ''Vanity Fair'' 20 January 1898, Thursday: 2 [of 4], Col. 2c – 3, Col. 3a.

She was a sponsor of Irish art needlework as well. Unlike her husband's, Gwendolen's social status seems to have risen as time passed, and she appears in stories associated with the Princess of Wales, and then later with Queen Alexandra.

=== The Sloane-Stanley Family ===
Gwendolen's family consisted of a younger brother, Cyril Sloane-Stanley, as well as her parents, Hans Sloane-Stanley and Emilie Edwards Sloane-Stanley. Exactly one year after she and Algernon Bourke married, Hans Sloane-Stanley died (in 1888), leaving an estate worth £33,704 7s. 5d.&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot;&gt;Principal Probate Registry; London, England; ''Calendar of the Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration made in the Probate Registries of the High Court of Justice in England''.

Shortly after his death ''Truth'' described Gwendolen and Cyril's father Hans Sloane-Stanley:&lt;blockquote&gt;The death of Mr. Sloane Stanley, of Paultons Park, is much regretted in South Hants, as he was one of the most popular landlords in the county, and was greatly esteemed. Mr. Sloane Stanley was well known in yachting circles, and for many years he was Commodore of the Royal Southern Yacht Club, and owned the schooner ''Star of the West''. He was one of the very few owners who continued to keep up the old custom of giving his crew a laying-up supper at the close of each season. There were great festivities at Paultons only a few months ago, when Miss Sloane Stanley was married to Mr. Algernon Bourke.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Entre Nous.&quot; ''Truth'' 27 December 1888, Thursday: 6 [of 48], Col. 2b [of 2].

Same print title, p. 1136.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;When he died in 1944, Cyril Sloane-Stanley's estate was quite a bit larger than his father's had been 50 years before. The probate was divided between what was limited to &quot;settled land&quot; and what was &quot;save and except settled land.&quot; What was not settled land totalled £356,114 12s. 10d. and went to John Everett, company director; the Hon. Elwyn Villiers Rhys, captain, H.M. army; and William Adam de Geijer, retired captain, H.M. army.&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot; /&gt; (1944, 430) His daughter Lavender was married to John Everett, and Diane was married to Elwyn Villiers Rhys. What was settled land totalled £168,975 and went to William Adam de Geijer, retired captain, H.M. army, and George Lawrence Stewart, solicitor.&lt;ref name=&quot;:17&quot; /&gt; (1944, 430)

The Sloane-Stanleys descend from Hans Sloane (1660–1753), whose 71,000-item collections &quot;provid[ed] the foundation of the British Museum, the British Library, and the Natural History Museum, London.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:19&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2025-01-07|title=Hans Sloane|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Sloane|journal=Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Sloane|language=en|via=}}&lt;/ref&gt; Much of this Hans Sloane's wealth came from his medical practice in Jamaica, where he went as physician to the Governor General of Jamaica, the 2nd Duke of Albemarle, and where he married &quot;a wealthy heiress of sugar plantations&quot; worked by enslaved Jamaicans.&lt;ref name=&quot;:19&quot; /&gt; His great-nephew, Hans Sloane, inherited Paultons, near Romsey, &quot;and in recognition of this he adopted the additional surname of Stanley in 1821.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2023-10-06|title=Hans Sloane (MP)|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Sloane_(MP)|journal=Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Sloane_(MP)|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;

(From the ''World''.)

The marriage of &quot;Mr. Manton&quot; was the surprise as well the sensation of last week. Although some wise people noticed a certain amount of youthful ardour in the attentions paid by Mr. Marcus Henry Milner to Caroline Duchess of Montrose at '''Mrs. Oppenheim's ball''', nobody was prepared for the sudden ''dénouement''; '''and it''' were not for the accidental and unseen presence [[Social Victorians/People/Mildmay|a well-known musical amateur]] who had received permission to practice on the organ, the ceremony performed at half-past nine on Thursday morning at St. Andrew's, Fulham, by the Rev. Mr. Propert, would possibly have remained a secret for some time to come. Although the evergreen Duchess attains this year the limit of age prescribed the Psalmist, the bridegroom was only born in 1864. Mr. &quot;Harry&quot; Milner (familiarly known in the City as &quot;Millions&quot;) was one of the zealous assistants of that well-known firm of stockbrokers, Messrs. Bourke and Sandys, and Mr. Algernon Bourke, the head of the house (who, of course, takes a fatherly interest in the match) went down to Fulham to give away the Duchess. The ceremony was followed by a ''partie carrée'' luncheon at the Bristol, and the honeymoon began with a visit to the Jockey Club box at Sandown. Mr. Milner and the Duchess of Montrose have now gone to Newmarket. The marriage causes a curious reshuffling of the cards of affinity. Mr. Milner is now the stepfather of the [[Social Victorians/People/Montrose|Duke of Montrose]], his senior by twelve years; he is also the father-in-law of [[Social Victorians/People/Lady Violet Greville|Lord Greville]], Mr. Murray of Polnaise, and [[Social Victorians/People/Breadalbane|Lord Breadalbane]].&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot; /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Li Hung Chang has five native cooks in his retinue, and the greatest good fellowship exists between them and their English ''confreres'', although considerable difficulty is experienced in conversation in understanding one another's meaning. There are between 40 and and 50 to cater for daily, besides a staff about 30; that Mr Lemaire finds his time fully occupied. The dishes for his Excellency are varied and miscellaneous, and from 14 to 20 courses are served at each meal. The bills of fare contain such items as bird's-nest soup, pigs' kidneys stewed in cream, boiled ducks and green ginger, sharks' fins, shrimps and prawns stewed with leeks and muscatel grapes, fat pork saute with peas and kidney beans. The meal usually winds with fruit and sponge cake, and freshly-picked green tea as liqueur.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Li Hung Chang's Diet.&quot; ''Edinburgh Evening News'' 19 August 1896, Wednesday: 3 [of 4], Col. 8b [of 8].

'''1896 December 4, Friday''', the Orleans Club at Brighton was robbed:&lt;blockquote&gt;The old building of the Orleans Club at Brighton, which opens its new club house at 33, Brunswick-terrace to-day, was the scene of a very ingenious burglary during the small hours of yesterday morning. The greater portion of the club property had already been removed to the new premises, but Mr Algernon Bourke, his private secretary, and some of the officials of the club, still occupied bed-rooms at the house in the King’s-road. The corner shop of the street front is occupied by Mr. Marx, a jeweller in a large way of business, and upon his manager arriving at nine o'clock he discovered that the place had been entered through hole in the ceiling, and a great part of a very valuable stock of jewelry extracted. An examination of the morning rooms of the club, which runs over Mr. Marx's establishment reveal a singularly neat  specimen of the burglar's art. A piece of the flooring about 15in square had been removed by a series of holes bored side by side with a centre-bit, at a spot where access to the lofty shop was rendered easy by a tall showcase which stood convemently near. A massive iron girder had been avoided by a quarter of an inch, and this circumstance and the general finish of the operation point to an artist in his profession, who had acquired an intimate knowledge of the premises. The club doors were all found locked yesterday morning, and the means of egress adopted by the thief are at present a mystery.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Burglary at Brighton.&quot; ''Daily Telegraph &amp; Courier'' (London) 05 December 1896, Saturday: 5 [of 12], Col. 7a [of 7].

He is a good-looking man who used to be known as Buttons Bourke, and he married well, as his wife was the rich and pretty Miss Guendolen Sloane Stanley. He may be described as a &quot;Jack of all trades,&quot; but it is not I who will say that he is a master of none. He was once in the Stock Exchange, then he took White's Club in hand and restored it to much of its former prestige. After that he dabbled in smart hotels and restaurants, and the last thing I heard of him was that he kept a curiosity shop at Venice.&lt;ref&gt;Candida. &quot;The Searchlight in Society.

==== Commentary ====

*

==== Salammbô ====
Salammbô is the fictitious protagonist in Gustave Flaubert's 1862 novel ''Salammbô'', set during the Roman war against Carthage.&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2024-04-29|title=Salammbô|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salammb%C3%B4&amp;oldid=1221352216|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salammb%C3%B4.&lt;/ref&gt; Salammbô is a Carthaginian priestess of the lunar goddess Tanit. Matho, a Roman mercenary, breaks into Tanit's temple and steals her sacred veil — the spiritual guardian of Carthage. Salammbô sneaks into the enemy encampment to steal the veil back. She meets Matho in his tent, and &quot;believing each other to be divine apparitions,&quot; they make love,&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt; although it is also a defilement. Salammbô succceds in getting the veil back, but Matho is tortured and executed, which causes her to die of shock, the effect of both having touched the veil.

What Gwendolen Bourke saw as representative of herself in Salammbo is difficult to see, unless her costume contains references to particular images or productions. Her costume and her social life as reported in the newspapers do not suggest that she was a big risk-taker like, for example, the eccentric Countess Castiglione, who also appeared at a ball in a Salammbo costume. In 1889, the ''Edinburgh Evening News'' says,&lt;blockquote&gt;The late Countess Castiglione, whose death in Paris is recorded yesterday, made her first appearance at the Imperial Court in 1866, where her extraordinary beauty made a great impression on Napoleon III., and eventually led to the Empress Eugenie’s undertaking an unexpected and much-talked-of visit to Scotland. The Countess had a face and complexion which would have enchanted Rubens, and her lovely golden hair touched her feet. Even at the present day Paris has not forgotten her costume, or rather absence of costume as Salammbo, in which character she figured at a certain memorable ball at the Tuileries, wearing her hair, her jewels, and very little else. The Empress Eugenie, when she was presented to her thus lightly arrayed, declared that she must be cold, and insisted upon her there and then donning a mantle. Mme. de Castiglione was never again invited to an entertainment over which the Empress Eugenie presided.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;A Countess’ Queer Ball Costume.&quot; ''Edinburgh Evening News'' 2 December 1899, Saturday: 2 [of 6], Col. 7b [of 9]. ''British Newspaper Archive'' https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000452/18991202/024/0002. Same print title and p.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Gwendolen Bourke was developing relationships with people like the Princess of Wales, and what Countess Castigiolone did does not sound at all like her.

Salammbo figured in paintings, sculptures and illustrations of editions of Flaubert's novel before Ernest Reyer's 1890 opera. She is often depicted as nude and highly sexual or sexualized (kissing a huge snake, for example, that she holds aloft). 

Ernest Reyer's opera ''Salammbô'' was based on Flaubert's novel and published in Paris in 1890, opening at the Paris Opéra on 16 May 1892,&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2024-04-11|title=Ernest Reyer|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ernest_Reyer&amp;oldid=1218353215|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Reyer.&lt;/ref&gt; starring Madame Rose Caron, with Mademoiselle Lucienne Bréval as her understudy.&lt;ref&gt;Jullienn, Adolphe. &quot;Mademoiselle Lucienne Bréval de L'Académie Nationale de Musique [or de l'Opéra in the Table of Contents].&quot; ''Le Théatre'' April 1898 (No. 4). Google Books https://www.google.com/books/edition/_/_oxRAQAAMAAJ. Pp. 8–10.&lt;/ref&gt; (8, Col. 2c) (A headshot of Bréval in costume is here: https://books.google.com/books/content?id=_oxRAQAAMAAJ&amp;pg=RA3-PP7&amp;img=1&amp;zoom=3&amp;hl=en&amp;bul=1&amp;sig=ACfU3U2Gv8Os_rEmx2gM9SakJkYLJ9hW7g&amp;ci=6%2C1%2C988%2C1371&amp;edge=0.) This production was widely reviewed and discussed in the papers in the UK, and its production design seems to have been notable, especially the sets and the very scale of the production. The ''Louth and North Lincolnshire Advertiser'' says,&lt;blockquote&gt;

In Reyer's opera of &quot;Salammbo,&quot; lately produced at the Grand Opera in Paris, there were 1,400 persons on the stage in the last act.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Facts and Fancies.&quot; ''Louth and North Lincolnshire Advertiser'' 9 July 1892, Saturday: 3 [of 8], Col. 6c [of 6].

Rose Caron's productions were influential, including for the costumes she wore. The 1892 ''Lohengrin'' she starred in was the source of the costumes worn by [[Social Victorians/People/Stonor#Julia Caroline Stonor, Marquise of Hautpoul|Julia Stonor, Marquise of Hautpoul]] and her brother, [[Social Victorians/People/Stonor#Hon. Harry Stonor|Hon. Harry Stonor]].

Both Modest Mussorgsky and Sergei Rachmaninoff had attempted but not completed operas based on the novel as well.&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt; Alfons Mucha's 1896 lithograph of Salammbô (above left) was published the year before the ball.

Reyer's opera was first produced in 1890 in Brussels.

This portrait is amazing and unusual: Algernon Bourke is not using a photographer's set with theatrical flats and props, certainly not one used by anyone else at the ball itself. Isaak Walton (baptised 21 September 1593 – 15 December 1683) wrote ''The Compleat Angler''.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2021-09-15|title=Izaak Walton|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Izaak_Walton&amp;oldid=1044447858|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izaak_Walton.&lt;/ref&gt; A cottage Walton lived in and willed to the people of Stafford was photographed in 1888, suggesting that its relationship to Walton was known in 1897, raising a question about whether Bourke could have used the fireplace in the cottage for his portrait. (This same cottage still exists, as the [https://www.staffordbc.gov.uk/izaak-waltons-cottage Isaak Walton Cottage] museum.)

A caricature portrait (right) of the Hon. Algernon Bourke, called &quot;Algy,&quot; by Leslie Ward (&quot;Spy&quot;) was published in the 20 January 1898 issue of ''Vanity Fair'' as Number 702 in its &quot;Men of the Day&quot; series,&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2024-01-14|title=List of Vanity Fair (British magazine) caricatures (1895–1899)|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Vanity_Fair_(British_magazine)_caricatures_(1895%E2%80%931899)&amp;oldid=1195518024|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Vanity_Fair_(British_magazine)_caricatures_(1895%E2%80%931899).&lt;/ref&gt; giving an indication of what he looked like out of costume.

The ''Times'' made a distinction between the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. A. Bourke and Mr. and Mrs. Bourke, including both in the article.&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt; Occasionally this same article mentions the same people more than once in different contexts and parts of the article, so they may be the same couple.

== Notes and Questions ==
#The portrait of Algernon Bourke in costume as Isaac Walton is really an amazing portrait with a very interesting setting, far more specific than any of the other Lafayette portraits of these people in their costumes. Where was it shot? Lafayette is given credit, but it's not one of his usual backdrops. If this portrait was taken the night of the ball, then this fireplace was in Devonshire House; if not, then whose fireplace is it?
#The ''Times'' lists Hon. A. Bourke (at 325) and Hon. Mrs. A. Bourke (at 236) as members of a the &quot;Oriental&quot; procession, Mr. and Mrs. A. Bourke (in the general list of attendees), and then a small distance down Mr. and Mrs. Bourke (now at 511 and 512, respectively). This last couple with no honorifics is also mentioned in the report in the London ''Evening Standard'', which means the Hon. Mrs. A. Bourke, so the ''Times'' may have repeated the Bourkes, who otherwise are not obviously anyone recognizable. If they are not the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. A. Bourke, then they are unidentified. It seems likely that they are the same, however, as the newspapers were not perfectly consistent in naming people with their honorifics, even in a single story, especially a very long and detailed one in which people could be named more than once.
#Three slightly difficult-to-identify men were among the Suite of Men in the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball/Quadrilles Courts#&quot;Oriental&quot; Procession|&quot;Oriental&quot; procession]]: [[Social Victorians/People/Halifax|Gordon Wood]], [[Social Victorians/People/Portman|Arthur B. Portman]] and [[Social Victorians/People/Sarah Spencer-Churchill Wilson|Wilfred Wilson]]. The identification of Gordon Wood and Wilfred Wilson is high because of contemporary newspaper accounts. The Hon. Algernon Bourke, who was also in the Suite of Men, is not difficult to identify at all. Arthur Portman appears in a number of similar newspaper accounts, but none of them mentions his family of origin.
#[http://thepeerage.com The Peerage] has no other Algernon Bourkes.
#The Hon Algernon Bourke is #235 on the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball#List of People Who Attended|list of people who were present]]; the Hon. Guendoline Bourke is #236; a Mr. Bourke is #703; a Mrs. Bourke is #704.
#Hans Stanley-Sloane's estate was £33,704 7s. 5d. in the final probate in December 1889,&lt;ref&gt;Principal Probate Registry; London, England; ''Calendar of the Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration made in the Probate Registries of the High Court of Justice in England''.

== Barristers and Solicitors ==
The men in the courtroom arguing the cases are barristers, the elite of their class and profession. They went to what we could call &quot;prep&quot; schools together, or with boys just like them. One might hire a solicitor, or have a solicitor on retainer, for regular, normal legal advice, as for weddings and wills, taxes and finances, real estate, and so on.

== Bathing Machines ==
Bathing machines were little wooden shacks or houses, usually on wheels, which allowed modest people a place to change to their swimming costumes and get into the water without being seen. The houses were lined up on the beach, and the users would go to their house, or the one they had rented, and enter it through a door facing the water. Inside were hooks for hanging clothing on and benches attached to the walls to sit on. When the users had changed and hung their clothing up on the hooks out of the reach of the water, the house could be rolled into the surf far enough that the users could swim out the front door and play in the water without having to stand, visible, in their swimming suits.

For much of the century women used the bathing machines and men swam nude, or at least it was common enough for men to swim nude that it would not have been shocking. There were swimming costumes for both men and women, however, which were knee-length dresses and shorts for the women, and a sleeveless top and shorts for the men. Likely to have been made of wool, they were heavy and bulky and probably itchy as well, but they covered much of the body and still were a great deal less cloth and structure than people's normal clothing.

In an email he wrote on this subject to the discussion list Savoynet, Larry Simons says, &quot;Finally, it's worthy of mention that in the 1997 film Mrs Brown (also called Her Majesty, Mrs Brown in the USA), there is one scene in which Queen Victoria (played by Dame Judi Dench) goes for a swim and actually USES a bathing machine (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0119280)&quot; (Simons &quot;More on bathing machines&quot;).
Lewis Carroll mentions a bathing machine in &quot;The Hunting of the Snark&quot; and in ''Alice's Adventures Underground'', in the chapter called &quot;Pool of Tears&quot;:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;In that case, I can go back by railway.&quot; (Alice had been to the seaside once in her life, and had come to the general conclusion that, wherever you go to on the English coast, you find a number of bathing-machines in the sea, some children digging in the sand with wooden spades, then a row of lodging houses, and behind them, a railway station).&lt;/blockquote&gt;

In a posting to Savoynet from the bathing-machine thread, J. L. Speranza points out these citations and says, &quot;For more on bathing-machines, see Chapter 2, Note 6, of ''Alice's Adventures Underground'' in ''The Annotated Alice''; and ''The English Seaside'' by H. G. Stokes, 1947, pages 17-25&quot; (Speranza &quot;something between a large bathing-machine&quot;).

In Gilbert and Sullivan's ''Iolanthe'', the Lord Chancellor describes something as being in size &quot;'something between a large bathing-machine / and a very small second-class carriage.&quot;

== Cartes des Visites, Visiting and Calls ==

=== Cartes des Visites ===
From Victoriana.com Study Center, &quot;Fashions in Calling Cards (for Gentlemen) from Harper's Bazaar (C.1868)&quot;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&quot;Visiting cards for the coming season are of unglazed card board, large and almost square. Tinted cards, especially buff, are fashionable. The lettering is in old English text, or in script. The expense of fifty cards is $3.50.

One corner of the card is turned down to denote the object of the visit. In different cities a different signification is attached to these broken cards. We give the custom of New York society. On the left hand upper corner the word Visite is engraved on the reverse side. This corner is turned downed, displaying the word on the front of the card to signify that an ordinary call is made. On the right hand corner is Felicitation, to be used when making a visit of congratulation on some happy event, such as a marriage, or the birth of a child. On the left lower side is Conge, or Good-by. The remaining corner is marked Condolence.&quot; (http://www.victoriana.com/library/ccard.html)
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

E-bay had some silver cases, with chain handle, for carrying visiting cards.

=== Visiting and Calls ===
Judge Brack's early calls on the Tesmans in ''Hedda Gabler'' are daring and aggressive. According to Sally Mitchell, &quot;morning calls&quot; occurred between 3:00 and 5:00 P.M. &quot;Morning,&quot; used in an expression like morning dress or morning coat, meant something like &quot;daytime,&quot; the opposite of evening. Unless the calls were to acknowledge some event like a wedding, when they were likely to be no more than fifteen minutes, calls typically ran twenty minutes to half an hour. Judge Brack arrives early in the morning, as early as 7:30, even after a death in the family, which seems clearly indecent.

Food was not likely to be served.

'''???''' says it is proper to make morning calls no earlier than 11:00 A.M., though for many morning calls properly began at noon.

Mrs. Beeton discusses calls, as well.

Daniel Poole says,&lt;blockquote&gt;If you were not well acquainted with the callee, you made your call between three and four o'clock. If you were somewhat better acquainted, between four and five, and a good friend received you between five and six. ... Certainly, no one but a great intimate would presume to actually call in the ''real'' morning, i.e., before one o'clock. (68-69)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

==== The 9th Edition ====
Here is a copy of the 9th edition at the ''Internet Archive'': [[iarchive:encyclopaedia-britannica-9ed-1875/I|https://archive.org/details/encyclopaedia-britannica-9ed-1875/]].

If the people who attended the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 fancy-dress ball]] did any research on the figures from the past or from art or mythology or the arts, the 9th edition of the Britannica offers an example of what kinds of information would have been available to them. (The idea of them doing personal research like this is unlikely — more likely might be that they or their costumier studied what art and portraits were available at the galleries they frequented.) In a sense, the Britannica represents higher level popular knowledge.

The 9th edition of the Britannica (1875–1889) — the &quot;Scholar's Edition&quot; — was the first edition written by men (almost exclusively) who were experts in their field and who could write well.&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt; [[Social Victorians/People/George Bernard Shaw|George Bernard Shaw]] said he read the 9th edition except for the articles about science.&lt;ref&gt;Kogan, Herman.

The 25 volumes had&lt;blockquote&gt;thick boards and high-quality leather bindings, premier paper, and a production which took full advantage of the technological advances in printing in the years between the 1850s and 1870s. Great use was made of the new ability to print large graphic illustrations on the same pages as the text, as opposed to limiting illustrations to separate copperplates. Although this technology had first been used in a primitive fashion the 7th edition, and to a much lesser extent in the 8th, in the 9th edition there were thousands of quality illustrations set into the text pages, in addition to the plates.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Ninth edition, 1875–1889.&quot; {{Cite journal|date=2022-11-10|title=History of the Encyclopædia Britannica|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_the_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica&amp;oldid=1121066541|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}}  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Encyclopædia_Britannica#Ninth edition, 1875–1889.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The 11th edition (1911) continued the tradition of recruiting writers who had expertise and is also known for the quality of the writing.&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt;

Perhaps 500,000 pirated copies of this edition — &quot;10,000 sets sold by Britannica and 45,000 authorized sets made in the US by Little, Brown in Boston and Schribners' Sons in NY&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2023-01-08|title=Encyclopædia Britannica|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica&amp;oldid=1132316500|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} [[wikipedia:Encyclopædia_Britannica|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica#Edition summary]].&lt;/ref&gt; — were made in the US.

==== The 10th Edition ====
The 10th edition (1902–1903) was the first managed and owned by Americans. It is &quot;an eleven-volume supplement (including one each of maps and an index) to the 9th, numbered as volumes 25–35.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2023-01-08|title=Encyclopædia Britannica|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica&amp;oldid=1132316500|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} [[wikipedia:Encyclopædia_Britannica|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica#1901–1973]].&lt;/ref&gt; The supplement revised the articles to be more current at the beginning of the 20th century, may have increased the coverage of North America in deference to its American readers.

John Muir wrote the article on Yosemite for the 10th edition.

== Drugs ==
Depending upon when, of course, drugs that were not regulated and products that were generally available that would not be now:

*Arsenic
*Laudanum
*Cocaine
*Coca wine
*Heroin

According to [[Social Victorians/People/Waite|A. E. Waite]], [[Social Victorians/People/Less-Famous People Involved in Spiritualism#Walter Moseley|Walter Moseley]]'s &quot;health had been seriously damaged by the use of drugs for occult purposes&quot; (Howe 85 39, n. 3). Possibly [[Social Victorians/People/William Butler Yeats|W. B. Yeats]] had injections of ground-up &quot;monkey glands&quot; in order to increase his masculinity (is this true?).

Baring-Gould speaks of Sherlock Holmes, as always, as if he were a biographical rather than fictional character:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Dr. Kohki Naganuma has questioned (&quot;Sherlock Holmes and Cocaine&quot;) Holmes' use of cocaine by hypodermic injection at this time since &quot;Karl Ludwig Schleich, of Berlin, [was] the first surgeon to use cocaine solution in hypodermic injection [in 1891].] But Dr. Julian Wolff has replied (&quot;A Narcotic Monograph&quot;) that &quot;although Schleich is usually given credit for priority in the use of cocaine by injection, actually the credit should go to a great American surgeon. The first such use of cocaine was not in 1891 by Schleich, as is generally supposed, but in 1884, by Dr. William S. Halsted. … 1884 was early enough so that it was no anachronism for Holmes to be taking cocaine injections when Watson said he was.&quot;

It should be pointed out that, at this time, there was no popular prejudice against drug-takers. As Mr. Michael Harrison has written (In the Footsteps of Sherlock Homes): &quot;In Holmes' day, not only was the purchase of most 'Schedule IV' drugs legal; Madeleine Smith and Mrs. Maybrick bought their arsenic; De Quincey and Dickens and Robert Louis Stevenson, their laudanum; with no more trouble than that with which they purchased their tooth-powder. No 'Dangerous Drug Act' had been passed, in its original form when Holmes bought and took his cocaine in doses that Watson's description of the typical cocaine-addition syndromes indicate to have been heavy ones. (Holmes probably purchased his supplies from either John Taylor, Chemist, at the corner of George Street and Baker Street — east side — or of Curtis and Company, No. 44, on the west side) ….&quot; (Baring-Gould I 610, n. 1; all editorial marks are ''sic).''
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== Popular Medicinal Products ===
[[File:Bayer Heroin bottle.jpg|thumb|Bottle of heroin produced by Friedr. Bayer &amp; Co.]]
==== Beecham's Pills ====
The 1909 ''Secret Remedies: What They Cost and What They Contain'' says that a box of Beecham's Pills, &quot;advertised to be worth a guinea, is sold for 1s. 1 1/2 d., and the prime cost of the ingredients of the 56 pills it contains is about half a farthing. ... The pills had an average weight of 11/4 grains, and analysis showed them to consist of aloes, ginger and soap ; no other medicinal ingredient was found.&quot; It lists the ingredients for each pill thus:
:Aloes... ... ... ... ... 0.5 grain.
:Powdered ginger... ..... 0.55 &quot;
:Powdered soap... ... ... 0.18 &quot;
Liz Calvert Smith says that &quot;aloes are 'a bitter purgative drug, condensed from the juice of the leaves of various species of Aloes'&quot; (Smith 2003).

==== Coca wine ====

Although C. R.

== Electricity and Gas ==

=== 1840s–1850s ===
The &quot;moniker&quot; ''city of light''&lt;blockquote&gt;had taken on new meaning in the 1840s and ’50s when the boulevards were lit up at night and the city flourished, as Charles Baudelaire wrote, “in the light of the gas lamps, illuminated . . . and as if drunk on it.” Gaslight allowed for the emergence of a truly nocturnal city. At sunset, twenty thousand lampposts ignited automatically, fed from fuel lines connected to subterranean gas mains. Scores of lamplighters lit another three thousand streetlights manually. These new lights could illuminate a far larger area than before — a boon to safety that also transformed Parisians’ sense of their city’s potential, enhancing the culture of spectacle for which it was already famous, and leaving giddy visitors with an impression of ineffable modernity. The capital, wrote Joachim Schloer, became “like an island of light against the surrounding darkness.”&lt;ref name=&quot;:10&quot;&gt;Smee, Sebastian. ''Paris in Ruins: Love, War, and the Birth of Impressionism''. W. W. Norton, 2024.&lt;/ref&gt; (33–34 of 667)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== 1870s ===
Under Bismarck's seige of Paris 1870–1871, in late November and December of 1870,&lt;blockquote&gt;Supplies of gas had been summarily cut off. The light that had illuminated Second Empire Paris, transforming social life in the process, had been in short supply for over a month. Earlier in the siege, Thomas Gibson Bowles, the founding editor of ''Vanity Fair'', had noticed the “astonishing” effect that halving the supply of gas to the streetlamps had had on the atmosphere. “It has changed the aspect of the town,” he wrote, “and no less striking is the influence it exerts in driving people home at an early hour. ... [/] Temperatures were now consistently below freezing. After two heavy snowfalls, the city was blanketed in snow from December 12 until early January.

With Christmas approaching, Paris was still resisting, but the optimism of autumn had guttered out. Hungry, sapped of its glamour and pride, the city was bracing for a winter that would prove the coldest in living memory.&lt;ref name=&quot;:10&quot; /&gt; (276–278 of 667)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== 1880s ===
Electricity&lt;blockquote&gt;would have been theoretically possible [in England] at any time after 1880 but in practice it was most unlikely, for the original legislation was most restrictive and the first supply companies found it practically impossible to function. Only later in the eighties / were the restrictions removed. (Baring-Gould II 566–67, n. 19)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== 1894s ===
Electricity was available in Hampstead (Baring-Gould II 567, n. 19).

The newspapers reported as people had electricity installed in their houses. Richard D'Oyly Carte is said to have had the first house in London to have electricity and an elevator, and the Savoy Theatre, which he built, was the first public building to be lit only with electricity. The Savoy Hotel was the first to be lit with electricity and the first to have electric elevators.

Electric lights were used for the coronation of King Edward VII; Queen Consort Alexandra's coronation dress had silver threads in the weft, making it quite a statement under the electric lights in Westminster Abbey.

== Food ==

=== Punch ===
Punch was a drink served cold or at room temperature in glasses, often colored or flavored by the citrus fruits currently in season. In 1889, Mrs. Beeton says of punch,
&lt;blockquote&gt;Punch is a beverage made of various spirituous liquors or wine, hot water, the acid juice of fruits, and sugar. It is considered to be very intoxicating; but this is probably because the spirit being partly sheathed by the mucilaginous juice and the sugar, its strength does not appear to the taste so great as it really is. Punch, which was almost universally drunk among the middle classes about fifty or sixty years ago, has almost disappeared from our domestic tables, being superseded by wine. There are many different varieties of punch. It is sometimes kept cold in bottles, and makes a most agreeable summer drink. In Scotland, instead of the Madeira or sherry generally used in its manufacture, whiskey is substituted, and then its insiduous properties are more than usually felt. Where fresh lemons cannot be had for punch or similar beverages, crystallised citric acid and a few drops of the essence of lemon will be very nearly the same thing. In the composition of &quot;Regent's punch,&quot; champagne, brandy and veritable Martinique are required; &quot;Norfolk punch&quot; requires Seville oranges; &quot;milk punch&quot; may be extemporised by adding a little hot milk to lemonade, and then straining it through a jelly-bag. Then there are &quot;Wine punch,&quot; Tea-punch&quot; [sic] and &quot;French punch,&quot; made with lemons, spirits, tea and wine, in fantastic proportions. But of all the compounds of these materials, perhaps for a summer drink, the North-American &quot;mint julep&quot; is the most inviting. Captain Marryat gives the following recipe for its preparation: — &quot;Put into a tumbler about a dozen sprigs of the tender shoots of mint; upon them put a spoonful of white sugar, and equal proportions of peach and common brandy, so as to fill up one third, or, perhaps, a little less; then take rasped or pounded ice, and fill up the tumbler. Epicures rub the lips of the tumbler with a piece of fresh pineapple; and the tumbler itself if very often encrusted outside with stalactites of ice. As the ice melts, you drink.&quot; The Virginians, says Captain Marryat, claim the merit of having invented this superb compound; but, from a passage in the &quot;Comus&quot; of Milton, he claims it for his own country. (Beeton 1889 1220-21)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== Biscuits ===
Mrs. Beeton covers biscuits in her ''Book of Household Management'' and provides a page of illustrations (1109). Biscuits are both sweet and savory, depending on the recipe, what Americans might call both cookies and crackers.

=== Doily ===
A simple and well-supported etymology traces the ''doily'' to &quot;a 17th-century London draper&quot; whose &quot;cheap and genteel&quot; &quot;woolen stuff&quot; was eventually used for &quot;'a small ornamental napkin used at dessert', known as a 'doily-napkin.'&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2025-01-11|title=Doily|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Doily&amp;oldid=1268677585|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;

On 22 January 1895, the New Zealand ''Bruce Herald'' reprinted this folk etymology from the ''New York Recorder''. It is useful for its recording of the variant spelling, versions of which appear in British newspaper at the end of the 19th century as well.&lt;blockquote&gt;The word doyley, now a familiar one with ladies, is derived from the name of Robert D'Oyley, one of the followers of William the Norman. He received a grant of valuable lands on the condition of a yearly tender of a tablecloth of three shillings' value at the feast of St. Michael. Agreeably to the fashion of the time the ladies of the D'Oyley household were accustomed to embroider and ornament the quit-rent tablecloths; hence these cloths, becoming curiosities and accumulating in the course of years, were at length brought into use as napkins at the royal table and called doyleys.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Origin of the Word Doyley.&quot; ''Bruce Herald'', Volume XXVI, Issue 2617, 22 January 1895, p. 3.  https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/BH18950122.2.20.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Lady Helen Stewart received several &quot;d'Oyleys&quot; on her [[Social Victorians/Stewart-Stavordale Wedding 1902-01-25|1902 wedding to Lord Stavordale]]. 

=== Vitrine ===
A vitrine or vitrine case is a display case made of glass. According to the ''Oxford English Dictionary''&lt;blockquote&gt;OED's earliest evidence for ''vitrine'' is from 1880, in the writing of Charlotte Schreiber, translator, businesswoman, and collector.&lt;ref&gt;“Vitrine, N.” ''Oxford English Dictionary'', Oxford UP, December 2024, &lt;nowiki&gt;https://doi.org/10.1093/OED/1091506473&lt;/nowiki&gt;.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Lady Helen Stewart received 2 vitrines plus a vitrine table for her [[Social Victorians/Stewart-Stavordale Wedding 1902-01-25|1902 wedding to Lord Stavordale]].

It is far more likely that Watson lived across Praed Street, in Spring Street or London Street or even in Norfolk Square, which is separated from Praed Street only by a block of houses. He would thus be near neough to the Station to be known to the staff, which sufficiently removed from the traffic of Praed Street to enjoy a certain amount of quiet. His rent would have been (for a three-storeyed house in, say Spring Street) about £60 [$300] per annum; a four-storeyed house in nearby Norfolk Square would have been about £80 [$400]; both figures exclusive of rates.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Baring-Gould II.&lt;/ref&gt;{{rp|153-54, n. 2}} [quoting Michael Harrison; ellipsis mine, interpolations his]&lt;/blockquote&gt;Resources for understanding Victorian finances

== Ostrich Plumes and Prince of Wales's Feathers ==
For much of the late 18th and 19th centuries, white ostrich plumes were central to fashion at court, and '''at a certain point in the 19th century''' they became required for women being presented to the monarch and for their sponsors.

Separately, a secondary heraldic emblem of the Prince of Wales has been a specific arrangement of 3 ostrich feathers in a gold coronet&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2022-11-07|title=Prince of Wales's feathers|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prince_of_Wales%27s_feathers&amp;oldid=1120556015|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Wales's_feathers.&lt;/ref&gt; since King Edward III (1312–1377&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2022-12-14|title=Edward III of England|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_III_of_England&amp;oldid=1127343221|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_III_of_England.&lt;/ref&gt;). Although they were both called Prince of Wales's feathers, the fashionable plumes worn at court by women and this official part of the Prince of Wales's heraldry have a complex relationship, especially in the 18th century. 
  
In her &quot;'Falling into Feathers': Jews and the Trans-Atlantic Ostrich Feather Trade,&quot; Sarah Abrevaya Stein says that the ostrich-feather industry&lt;blockquote&gt;
was shaped by — and in turn influenced — imperial policy and social realities in the Russian and British empires; the complex social and economic constitution of colonial Africa; the growing importance of global, trans-Atlantic, and colonial trade; and the whims and politics of women's fashion. And it was fostered primarily by Jews, who were instrumental in nurturing the popularity and exchange of this commodity over oceans, political boundaries, and cultural and linguistic divides.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot;&gt;Stein, Sarah Abrevaya. &quot;'Falling into Feathers': Jews and the Trans-Atlantic Ostrich Feather Trade.&quot; ''The Journal of Modern History'' December 2007 (Vol. 79, No. 4): 772–812. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1086/521065 (accessed December 2022). Stable url: https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/521065.&lt;/ref&gt; (774)&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It appears that the fashion for wearing plumes in headdresses was imported from France in the last half of the 18th century, before the French revolution, when so much of what people wore signified political allegiance. Miriam Handley refers to an image from 1786 of George, Prince of Wales and &quot;eight well-known aristocratic ladies, seven of whom wear the feather .... The image alludes to Gay’s ''The Beggar’s Opera'', III. xvii and uses the feather to imply the sexual relationship between the Prince and the women.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot;&gt;Handley, Miriam. &quot;Flying the Feather: George, Prince of Wales and the Performance of Masculinity on the Late-Eighteenth-Century Stage.&quot; ''European Drama and Performance Studies'', n° 10, 2018 – 1, ''Masculinité et théâtre'': 29–49. DOI: [https://classiques-garnier.com/european-drama-and-performance-studies-2018-1-n-10-masculinite-et-theatre-flying-the-feather.html 10.15122/isbn.978-2-406-07790-9.p.0029].&lt;/ref&gt; (30, n. 4) One link, then, between the Prince of Wales and aristocratic women is the implication that women who wore the feather were &quot;his.&quot; The ostrich plume was eventually used in political cartoons and comic theatre in the 18th century to associate the Prince of Wales and fashionable women with complexities in the performance of masculinity, appropriation by women for social status, power and political opposition, and freedom and enslavement. Handley says, &quot;as the image of [a double-gendered] Chevalier suggests, the feather in the late 1770s was seen as the crowning touch to an extravagant head-dress. Plays and caricatures derived much comedy from these head-dresses, which were worn ﬁrst by Macaronis returning from their European Grand Tours, ... and subsequently by fashionable aristocratic women in the early 1770s.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot; /&gt; (35)


The &quot;popular women's fashion&quot; of white ostrich plumes spread widely among the fashionable in Europe and North America:&lt;blockquote&gt;A variety of feathers, including those of the ostrich, adorned the hats and clothes of elite European and American women from at least the second half of the eighteenth century, when Marie Antoinette introduced a minor ostrich feather craze among elite women by wearing towering plumes atop her hats. The thirst for feathers endured among members of the aristocracy throughout the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. But ostrich feathers were not widely employed by the fashion world until the 1880s. This was a decade in which women were gaining ever more opportunity and desire to consume ....&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; (778)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== Late 18th and Early 19th Centuries ===
Women wore plumes at the court of Charlotte, Queen Consort of George III. The January 1810 ''La Belle Assemblée'' reports that the Duchess of Leeds headdress was a &quot;Caledonian cap of crimson velvet, diamonds, and ostrich feathers.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Qtd. in Rachel Knowles. &quot;Drawing Room Presentations — A Regency History Guide.&quot; ''Regency History'' 27 October 2021&lt;nowiki/&gt;https://www.regencyhistory.net/2021/10/drawing-room-presentations-regency.html (accessed November 2022).&lt;/ref&gt; Charles Lamb's 1809 ''Book Explaining the Ranks and Dignities of British Society''. says, &quot;Feathers are not reckoned a necessary part of a court dress; but young ladies very seldom go without them, and they are supposed to be under dressed if they do.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;

The ''Lady’s Magazine'' mentions the headdress worn by the Countess of Carlisle in January 1809: &quot;Head-dress, ruby turban, jewels, and feathers.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot;&gt;Candice Hern. &quot;Court Dresses, Overview.&quot; ''Regency World'' https://candicehern.com/regencyworld/court-dresses-overview/ (accessed November 2022).&lt;/ref&gt; Every illustration on &quot;Court Dresses, Overview&quot; in Candice Hern's blog ''Regency World'' — and they are all tinted fashion plates — shows a woman wearing plumes. Most of the plumes on this page are white, but one plate from March 1806 shows plumes dyed to match the dress, and most of the drawings show a few feathers (perhaps 3) but one plate from July 1820 has a positive efflorescence of plumes in the headdress.&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;

=== Victorian Era ===
The three white plumes so like the Prince of Wales's feathers were not universal in early June 1853 at the first Queen's drawing room of the year.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Her Majesty's Drawing-Room.&quot; ''The Court Journal'' 4 June 1853, Saturday: 354, Col. 1a – 363, Col. 3c; 366, Col. 2a – 372, Col. 1a. ''Google Books'' [https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Court_Journal/JKhUGEnNVTwC?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=three+white+ostrich+plumes+at+court&amp;pg=PA371&amp;printsec=frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Court_Journal/JKhUGEnNVTwC] (accessed December 2022).&lt;/ref&gt; Many but not all of the women present did wear white plumes, and not all the plumes were white.


What was first fashionable and then de rigeur at court evolved and then reified by the end of the 19th century. First published in 1893, Lady Colin Campbell's ''Manners and Rules of Good Society'' (1911 edition) says that&lt;blockquote&gt; 

It was compulsory for both Married and Unmarried Ladies to Wear Plumes. The married lady’s Court plume consisted of three white feathers. An unmarried lady’s of two white feathers. The three white feathers should be mounted as a Prince of Wales plume and worn towards the left hand side of the head. Colored feathers may not be worn. In deep mourning, white feathers must be worn, black feathers are inadmissible.

White veils or lace lappets must be worn with the feathers. The veils should not be longer than 45 inches.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.edwardianpromenade.com/etiquette/the-court-presentation/|title=The Court Presentation|last=Holl|first=Evangeline|date=2007-12-07|website=Edwardian Promenade|language=en-US|access-date=2022-12-18}} https://www.edwardianpromenade.com/etiquette/the-court-presentation/.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

In ''Plumes: Ostrich Feathers, Jews, and a Lost World of Global Commerce'', Sarah Abrevaya Stein says, &quot;Ostrich feathers were valuable commodities at the beginning of the twentieth century, their value per pound almost equal to that of diamonds.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot;&gt;Qtd in {{Cite web|url=https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/history-and-heritage/london-metropolitan-archives/collections/cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/history-and-heritage/london-metropolitan-archives/collections/ostrich-feather-trade|title=Ostrich feather trade|website=City of London|language=en|access-date=2022-12-22}} https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/history-and-heritage/london-metropolitan-archives/collections/ostrich-feather-trade.&lt;/ref&gt; Stein says, &quot;Ostrich feathers could be found wherever there were arbiters of style: a consignment of £20,000 worth of the plumes was even lost&quot; when ''Titanic'' sank.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; (780) When ostrich feathers first became popular in the west, the birds were hunted and killed for their plumage, but by the end of the 19th century they were farmed and the plumes plucked. 

The labor force was in some cases highly skilled and specialized: &lt;blockquote&gt;London acquired the monopoly on European ostrich feather auctions in 1876, just as the feather market — and London's merchant house economy — was expanding. ... At about the same time, London was absorbing roughly 15,000 Eastern European Jewish immigrants: men, women, girls, and boys who furnished a bountiful labor market to the feather trade. ... Due in great part to this influx of immigrants, Jews quickly proved well represented in all tiers of the supply side of Britain's feather industry. Jewish girls and women were the principal unskilled, semiskilled, and skilled workers to staff the hundreds of feather manufactories that dotted London's East End, and Jewish men were well represented among ostrich feather dealers and manufacturers in the British capital, constituting, in 1883, 57 percent and 43 percent of these occupational niches, respectively.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;

The labor force associated with ostrich plumes was largely &quot;immigrant Jewish women and girls who had experience in the needle trades. Workers suffered poor wages and were often subject to the abuse of their rights by employers.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt; Before the 20th century, this industry was &quot;concentrated in a one-mile radius from the City of London into the East End. In particular, around the Barbican, Aldersgate, London Wall, Jewin Street, Cripplegate, Bartholomew Close, and the Fenchurch Street area.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;

=== Post-Edwardian Era ===


Besides people working in the ostrich-feather industry itself, milliners also needed the skills for working with the plumes. From the immediately post-Edwardian era, this book addresses not the plumes worn at court but attached to the hats of the fashionable:&lt;blockquote&gt;Prince of Wales feathers ... consist of three small ostrich feathers, one placed high in the center and the other two placed just below, so that the flues of the two lowest feathers will cover the stem of the one at the top. They are frequently referred to as the Prince de Galles. The Prince of Wales tips are used for trimming hats for the mature woman and are quite frequently separated and used to encircle the crown of a wide-brimmed hat for a younger woman. In case they are used in this manner the wire items should be cut off and the back of the feather sewed firmly to the hat. Small feathers that are attached to the side crown of the hat should be sewed on with silk floss matching the feather in color. Sew over the stem but not through it, so that, / after the entire hat is trimmed, each feather may be twisted and turned to its proper position.&lt;ref&gt;Cné, Orna. &quot;Flowers and Feathers.&quot; &quot;Natural and Man-Made Feathers.&quot; Children and Misses' {{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ak08AQAAMAAJ&amp;newbks=0&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;pg=RA5-PA28&amp;dq=Prince+of+Wales+plumes+women+headdress&amp;hl=en|title=Woman's Institute Reference Library ...

=== The Crash ===
The market for ostrich plumes rose and fell several times: two years in which the plumes were not fashionable were 1885 and 1913.&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/history-and-heritage/london-metropolitan-archives/collections/cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/history-and-heritage/london-metropolitan-archives/collections/ostrich-feather-trade|title=Ostrich feather trade|website=City of London|language=en|access-date=2022-12-22}} https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/history-and-heritage/london-metropolitan-archives/collections/ostrich-feather-trade,&lt;/ref&gt; The fashion for prior years had used plumes and feathers of other birds to &quot;excess,&quot; as the 6 January 1886 ''Pall Mall Gazette'' put it.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt; The Plumage League was founded in 1885, &quot;a predecessor of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;

Stein says,&lt;blockquote&gt;1913 proved a peak year for feather sales, but their popularity was not to endure long: feathers would soon be rejected by consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. This shift in taste ws at one aesthetic, political, and economic. It was prompted by several related factors: the success of the antiplumage and bird protection movement; an emerging sense of austerity in women's fashion catalyzed, in part, by the outbreak of the First World War; and the extensive oversupply of ostrich plumes.&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; (802)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

# At some point, did the court style of the feathered headdress became associated with the Prince of Wales' heraldic badge of the three ostrich-feather plumes?

=== Edouard Henry Dreyfous ===
A &quot;retailer of fine antique furniture and objets d’art with establishments in London (Mayfair), Paris and New York[, Dreyfous] was active in the late 19th century, from 1880, through early in the 20th century.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:9&quot;&gt;&quot;A Very Fine and Rare french 19th Century Louis XV Style Etched Glass, Ormolu and Porcelain (Probably by Sèvres) Encrier Inkwell by E''douard Henry Dreyfous''.&quot; Jan's &amp; Co., Inc.: Fine French Antiques &amp; Ojects d'Art. 17 June 2025 https://www.jansantiques.com/Lot/jac2520.php.&lt;/ref&gt; Born in France, &quot;Dreyfous called London his home and sold fine furnishings and objets d'art.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:9&quot; /&gt; He held a Royal Warrant (in the early 20th century at least), and his &quot;main clientele were some of the richest, most affluent and influential people from around the world, including Royalty,&quot; like Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary.&lt;ref name=&quot;:9&quot; /&gt;

Three gifts identified as having come from Dreyfous were given to [[Social Victorians/Stewart-Stavordale Wedding 1902-01-25|Lady Helen Stewart at her 1902 marriage to Lord Stavordale]], a green leather blotter apparently bought from Dreyfous as well as 2 trays.

== Sequins and Spangles ==
Sequins have holes in the center and spangles at the top; paillettes are large and flat.

Sequins themselves have a long history and were probably mass-produced by the end of the 19th century. The silver ones like the ones used in the Duchess of Devonshire's costume in 1897 were useful in garments worn only once because they would have tarnished, turning black and dull.

Sequins in one form or another have been used to decorate clothing, especially for the elite, for millennia (dating back to the Egyptians, discovered during and popularized by the opening of King Tutenkhamen's tomb in 1922&lt;ref&gt;Spivack, Emily. &quot;A History of Sequins from King Tut to the King of Pop.&quot; ''Smithsonian Magazine'' 28 December 2012. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/a-history-of-sequins-from-king-tut-to-the-king-of-pop-8035/ (accessed December 2022).&lt;/ref&gt;). 

== Servants and Household Staff ==

Sally Mitchell says that &quot;The most typical middle-class urban household had three female servants: cook, housemaid, and nursemaid. The cook was in charge&quot; (Mitchell 52). &lt;blockquote&gt;When there were only two or three servants, the cook cleaned the kitchen and dining room and swept the outside steps; she might also look after children for part of the day. ...

Housemaids swept, dusted, and cleaned. If there were no menservants, the housemaids carried coal and tended fires; even if there were menservants, housemaids would be responsible for the fires in the bedrooms used by women and children. They also carried water upstairs, saw to baths, emptied slops, and looked after lamps. (Mitchell 54)

The standard outfit for female servants consisted of a washable cotton dress (usually of striped or printed material) with a full-length apron and a white cap, which was worn in the morning while cleaning. Servants who might be visible during the afternoons wore a black dress with a fancier cap and apron. (Mitchell 56) &lt;/blockquote&gt;In England, &quot;servants made up 16% of the national workforce in 1891&quot; (Poole 1993 220).

At the end of the 1890s, in a household in the Paddington district in London, the staff might have been paid the following:
*cook £30 a year 
*house parlormaid between £18 to £15 a year 
*tweeny between £10 to £15 a year 
(Baring-Gould II 225, n. 3, quoting M. Harrison) 

== Telephone and Telegraph ==
&quot;The telegram rate to France of twopence a word was introduced in 1889 and continued until 1920, when it changed to twopence halfpenny; the rate to Switzerland at the time was threepence a word (it dropped to twopence halfpenny in 1909 but reverted to threepence in 1926).&quot; (Baring-Gould II 658, n. 6, quoting Kaser).

In 1892 the ''Louth and North Lincolnshire Advertiser'' says,&lt;blockquote&gt;It is now possible to cable to New York and obtain an answer back in four minutes.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Facts and Fancies.&quot; ''Louth and North Lincolnshire Advertiser'' 9 July 1892, Saturday: 3 [of 8], Col. 6c [of 6].

=== Electrophone ===
On Monday, 11 May 1896,&lt;blockquote&gt;An electrophone has been installed at Marlborough House, whereby the Prince of Wales and family on Monday listened to the Drury Lane opera and selections from other pieces in various London theatres.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Latest Home News by the 'Carthage.'&quot; ''Civil &amp; Military Gazette'' (Lahore) 12 May 1896, Tuesday: 4 [of 18], Col. 1b [of 4].

=== Writers and Their Typewriters ===

==== [[Social Victorians/People/William Butler Yeats|W. B. Yeats]] ====
Yeats wrote &quot;The Second Coming&quot; on a typewriter? In these comments, a ''typewriter'' is a person, not a machine:
*letter WBY to Lady Gregory, 10 April 1902, from 18 Woburn Bldgs: &quot;I am working at my novel — dictating to a typewriter. I dictated 2000 words in an hour and ten minutes yesterday — and go on again tomorrow. This dictation is really a discovery&quot; (Wade 370).
*letter WBY to Lady Gregory, 3 April 1905, from 8 Cavendish Row, Dublin: &quot;You will be sorry to hear that I have just dictated a rough draft of a new Grania second act to Moore's typewriter&quot; (Wade 368).

==== Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes ====
*&quot;I think of writing another little monograph some of these days on the typewriter and its relation to crime. It is a subject to which I have devoted some little attention. I have here four letters which purport to come from the missing man. They are all typewritten. In each case, not only are the 'e's' slurred and the 'r's' tailless, but you will observe, if you care to use my magnifying lens, that the fourteen other characteristics to which I have alluded are there as well&quot; (in &quot;A Case of Identity,&quot; Baring-Gould I 414). 
*&quot;'And now I will show you what is really a very interesting study, Mr. Windibank,' Homes continued. 'I think of writing another little monograph some of these days on the typewriter and its relation to crime. It is a subject to which I have devoted some little attention. I have here four letters which purport to come from the missing man. They are all typewritten. In each case, not only are the &quot;e's&quot; slurred and the &quot;r's&quot; tailless, but you will observe, if you care to use my magnifying lens, that the fourteen other characteristics to which I have alluded are there as well.'&quot; (Baring-Gould I 414) [September 1891]
*G. Lestrade sends Holmes a typescript of a statement dictated to the police, &quot;taken down, just as he made it, by our shorthand man. We had three copies typewritten, one of which I enclose&quot; (in &quot;The Cardboard Box,&quot; January 1893, in Baring-Gould II 204). 
*Laura Lyons in Arthur Conan Doyle's 1902 &quot;The Hound of the Baskervilles&quot; has &quot;a typewriting business,&quot; and when Watson visits her, she is &quot;sitting before a Remington typewriter&quot; (Baring-Gould II 74). 
&quot;'In … the ''Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology'' (November-December, 1947) there appears a review of an article in the Police Journal, the title of which is &quot;Identification of Typewriting,&quot; reputedly by one George McLean,' Mr. Archibald Hart wrote in 'The Effects of Trades Upon Hands.' 'Is it not apparent that some hoarder of the only existent copies of all of Holmes' brochures is now releasing them one by one under false authorships? 'McLean' urges us to note the peculiarities of each typed character, the vertical and horizontal alignment, the side impressions of each character, and the shortening of the serifs in P, D, B, and H, and the diacritic in the letter T.'&quot; (Baring-Gould I 415, n. 28).

==== Teddy Roosevelt ====
Teddy Roosevelt was the first U.S. President to use a typewriter.

      <text bytes="6884" sha1="i5ogbxmqdlc2ijzcvod36rgmd31ttth" xml:space="preserve">A number of seemingly credible sources are describing an increase in political polarization worldwide. [[w:Maria Ressa|Maria Ressa]] describes how [[w:Rodrigo Duterte|Rodrigo Duterte]], former President of the [[w:Philippines|Philippines]] &quot;started ... with five hundred volunteers&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 147-8).&lt;/ref&gt; (1) creating “sock puppets,” or fake accounts that attack or praise; (2) “mass reporting,” or organizing to negatively impact a targeted account; and (3) “astroturfing,” or fake posts or lies designed to look like grassroots support or interest.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3).&lt;/ref&gt; These actions tricked the algorithms of social media companies like Facebook and Twitter into amplifying fraudulent messages including incitements to violence and criminal prosecutions based on trumped up charges. The results easily overwhelmed honest media. [[w:Leila de Lima|Leila de Lima]], a Senator and former Secretary of Justice of the Philippines, spent years  in pretrial detention before the charges were dropped for lack of evidence.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, p. 158ff) and Wikipedia, &quot;[[w:Leila de Lima|Leila de Lima]]&quot;, accessed 2024-07-22.&lt;/ref&gt; Ressa's news organization, [[w:Rappler|Rappler]].com, was ordered to close. Ressa herself was convicted on questionable charges. Both continued operating while the legal procedures against them were appealed.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3) and Wikipedia, &quot;[[w:Maria Ressa|Maria Ressa]]&quot;, accessed 2024-07-22.&lt;/ref&gt; Ressa says similar procedures are making major contributions to the rise of fascism and far-right nationalist populists in the US, Europe, Turkey, India, Russia, and elsewhere.&lt;ref&gt;Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3).&lt;/ref&gt; [[w:H. R. McMaster|H. R. McMaster]], former President Trump's second National Security advisor, said that &quot;The internet and social media thus provided [Russia] with a low-cost, easy way to divide and weaken America from within.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;McMaster (2020, pp. 47-48).&lt;/ref&gt; The [[w:2021 Facebook leak|2021 Facebook leak]] documented how executives of [[w:Facebook|Facebook]] and [[w:Meta Platforms|Meta]] knowingly prioritized profits over action to limit incitements to violence, even facilitating the [[w:Rohingya genocide|Rohingya genocide]] in [[w:Myanmar|Myanmar]], because doing otherwise would have reduced their revenue.

== Being There ==
People in the emotionally reactive stage ignore, misunderstand, or react destructively to the essential and universal signals provided by [[Emotional Competency|emotions]]. Living life to its fullest requires experiencing and enjoying the full range of human [[Emotional Competency|emotions]]. Yet people in the reactive stage are uncomfortable with emotions; they don’t [[Recognizing Emotions|recognize]] what they are, what they are telling us, how they can be helpful, or the choices we have in how to respond to them. People in the reactive stage may have been taught to ignore, suppress, diminish, or deny their own subtle feelings and vivid passions. Do you know how you feel? What emotions can you [[Recognizing Emotions|recognize]] and describe?  People in the emotionally reactive stage may have mistakenly learned to overreact to various negative emotions while suppressing positive ones. They may be overly dramatic, seek attention or excitement, or exaggerate emotional expression. Unfortunately some are prisoners of [[Resolving Anger|anger]], [[Overcoming Hate|hate]], [[w:Guilt_(emotion)|guilt]], [[w:Sadness|sadness]], [[w:Fear|fear]], [[w:Anxiety|anxiety]], [[w:Shame|shame]], [[w:Humiliation|humiliation]], [[w:Envy|envy]], pain, and [[w:Violence|violence]] without understanding what has consumed so much of their lives. Others endure a lonely and sterile existence without experiencing genuine feelings or passionate emotions.

These two podcasts, adapted from the book ''[http://www.wisdompage.com/ebooksinfo.html Toward Wisdom]'', may help you better understand and begin to move beyond reactivity:

* [http://www.wisdompage.com/TWPP/TWPPepisode9.mp3 Dealing with Reactivity, Part 2], by Copthorne Macdonald

== Getting There ==
You may be reactive if you were not skillfully raised in a caring family by emotionally competent parents. Do your best to progress toward [[Emotional Competency|emotional competency]].

== Moving On ==
Reactive people are at the ''[[w:Four_stages_of_competence#Stages|unconscious incompetence]]'' learning level.  The emotionally reactive stage is difficult, destructive, and unpleasant for all. Work toward [[The Wise Path/Emotionally Competent|emotional competency]]. The substantial effort this is likely to require will certainly be worth it.

This is the English version of the material (lecture notes, exercises) of a mathematical course taught at the University of Osnabrück. So this is not an online course, only the material for a real university course. The material is organized in a modular way (e.g., facts, proofs, examples, and exercises are in separate files) so that it can also be used in other courses. The mathematical material is quite standard for a university beginners class, and the course has been taught several times. The English version is a direct translation. Suggestions are welcome.

Mental health continues to be a critically relevant topic as the island nation has experienced decades of [[w:Black_July|violent ethnic conflict]], terrorist attacks, war crimes, and economic disruptions. Sri Lanka has only recently exited the climaxes of a [[w:Sri_Lankan_economic_crisis_(2019–2024)|severe economic crisis in 2022]], a [[w:Sri_Lankan_civil_war|nearly 30-year civil war ending in 2009]], a [[w:2019_Sri_Lanka_Easter_bombings|2019 terrorist attack]], and continues to face the ripple effects of the [[w:2004_Boxing_Day_tsunami|2004 Boxing Day tsunami]]. The exact effect these major events have had on mental health in the country is &quot;unknown&quot;, but the statistics remain alarming despite a declining trend. 

Suicide rates in the country during the mid-1990s were the second-highest in the world with ingesting toxic products being the main suicide method. Despite the decline in suicide numbers since then—possibly attributed to Sri Lanka's ban on toxic products—evidence from a 2023 study reports an upward trend in suicide through hanging from 2016 to 2021—independent of the [[w:COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sri_Lanka|COVID-19 pandemic]]. Several risk factors for suicide, such as poverty and economic instability, are still prevalent and even increasing in the country to this day&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakse|first=Thilini|last2=Silva|first2=Tharuka|last3=Hettiarachchi|first3=Nirosha Madhuwanthi|last4=Gunnell|first4=David|last5=Metcalfe|first5=Chris|last6=Spittal|first6=Matthew J.|last7=Knipe|first7=Duleeka|date=2023-01-19|title=The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdowns on Self-Poisoning and Suicide in Sri Lanka: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9914278/|journal=International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health|volume=20|issue=3|pages=1833|doi=10.3390/ijerph20031833|issn=1660-4601|pmc=9914278|pmid=36767200}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

==Historical Development of Mental Health Services==

In the 1800s, established care for mental health began shifting from indigenous practices, mainly derived from [[w:Ayurveda|Ayurveda medicine]], to a Western model&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Gambheera, H. (2011). [https://www.saarcpsychiatry.com/viewText?chapter=c6 The evolution of psychiatric services in Sri Lanka]. South Asian Journal of Psychiatry, 2(1), 25–27.&lt;/ref&gt;. 

=== Adoption of a Western-based mental healthcare model and issuances of ordinances ===
In 1839, [[w:James_Alexander_Stewart-Mackenzie|James Alexander Stewart-Mackenzie]], the 7th Governor of British Ceylon, released the Lunacy Ordinance, authorizing municipal authorities to create lunatic asylums for the mentally ill in the country&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=6&amp;Itemid=125&amp;lang=en|title=History - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-10}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The ordinance was concerned with the legal frameworks of detaining individuals considered dangerous to others or individuals falsely presenting themselves as mentally ill, and not on medical treatments to alleviate the conditions of detained individuals. UK psychiatrist [[w:Edward_Mapother|Edward Mapother]] critiqued the ordinance during his 1937 inspection of British Ceylon's mental health institutions in a series of reports titled ''A Disgrace to a Civilised Community'', remarking that the ordinance &quot;[did] not seem to have contemplated treatment as a contingency to be considered&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot;&gt;{{Cite book|title=Permeable walls: historical perspectives on hospital and asylum visiting|date=2009|publisher=Rodopi|isbn=978-90-420-2599-8|editor-last=Mooney|editor-first=Graham|series=Clio medica|location=Amsterdam New York, NY|editor-last2=Reinarz|editor-first2=Jonathan}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

In 1840, the 1839 Ordinance was repealed and replaced by the 1840 Ordinance. The 1839 Ordinance was almost identical to the 1840 Ordinance, except the removal of two previous requirements: the requirement for official medical diagnoses of the mentally insane and the mandate to maintain adequate staff-to-patient ratios within lunatic asylums&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Alwis|first=L. A. P. de|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V. L.|last3=Mendis|first3=T. S. S.|last4=Abhayanayaka|first4=C.|date=2024-12-31|title=The development of laws related to the disposal of forensic patients in Sri Lanka: A historical review|url=https://sljpsyc.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/sljpsyc.v15i2.8569|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Psychiatry|language=en-US|volume=15|issue=2|doi=10.4038/sljpsyc.v15i2.8569|issn=2012-6883}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

In 1873, a third Ordinance was released. It included linguistic changes, where the term, &quot;insane&quot;, was replaced with &quot;of unsound mind&quot;. The Ordinance also gave more power to medical professionals in determining insanity diagnoses, and more power to detainees in appealing their commitment to the mental asylum. Despite this Ordinance being the most comprehensive outlook on mental healthcare in the country by that point, the legal frameworks behind the detainment of the criminally insane were left identical to previous ordinances&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;.

=== Development of mental asylums ===
At the time the 1839 ordinance was released, mentally ill patients were placed either in prisons throughout the country or leprosy hospitals, such as the [[w:Hendala_Leprosy_Hospital|Hendala Leprosy Hospital]] in the Gampaha district&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;. After the creation of the first mental asylum in Borella in 1846, patients from the Hendala Leprosy Hospital were transferred to the institute in Borella. Overcrowding soon became an issue and patients institutionalized at the Borella mental asylum were sent to prisons across the country. [[File:Edward Mapother.jpg|thumb|A portrait taken of Edward Mapother during his time working at [[w:Maudsley_Hospital|Maudsley Hospital]] in London.
]]

As medical institutions were being made to house the mentally insane, another mental asylum was created in the [[w:Cinnamon_Gardens|Cinnamon Gardens]] area of Colombo in 1884, though this mental asylum faced overcrowding in just one year&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;. Treatment in these asylums was limited to occupational and protection therapy, failing to provide treatment for the root causes of the mental disorders.

In 1926, the Angoda Mental Hospital was established, scantily alleviating the severe overcrowding issues that were plaguing the preceding mental asylums. Despite an expansion in physical setting to 1,700 beds, treatment was still vastly limited and the patients were left in significantly poor conditions. 

=== Edward Mapother's 1937 inspection of British Ceylon ===
Edward Mapother was born in Dublin, Ireland, on July 12, 1881 and moved to London when he was 7 years old&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=Madness to mental illness: a history of the Royal College of Psychiatrists|last=Bewley|first=Thomas|date=2008|publisher=RCPsych Publications ; Distributed in North America by Balogh International|isbn=978-1-904671-35-0|location=London : [S.l.]}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Mapother attained his M.D. in 1908. While Mapother was the Medical Superintendent of Maudsley Hospital in London, England, he was invited to inspect British Ceylon's mental health institutions by Dr S. T. Gunasekara, the first Medical Director of British Ceylon&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;.

In Mapother's visit, he commented that the Angoda Mental Hospital had the atmosphere of &quot;a prison that is neglected and dilapidated&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. Overcrowding was still a major issue, with the institute hosting 3,000 patients—more than double the intended capacity. Patients were sleeping on mats and were clearly out of reach of adequate treatment. Mapother also noted that only 4% of public health expenditure in the country was being set for hospitals, drawing a stark comparison to London's 25%&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. Mapother offered a vivid and grim account of the hospital in his reports:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
The floor, roof and walls of each cell consist alike of drab cement without any attempt at colouring or decoration. High up in one wall is a small window with stout iron bars. In the floor is a large hole into which the patient may pass his motion and urine. These cells are incompletely divided from one another by a partition which does not reach the roof so that the noise and stink from any one cell may reach at least all the others of the same row. Into these empty cells I was informed that the most noisy and troublesome patients in the hospital; were turned at night completely naked. The doors of the cell contain no observation window, and considering the violent character of many of these patients there is every ground for believing that the doors are rarely opened in the night by the solitary attendant on duty. It needs little imagination to picture the suffering of any patient in an early stage of bodily illness passing a night under such conditions, a situation which must frequently arise. I am told that the noise proceeding from this building is like that on a bad night in a menagerie&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Mapother proposed a series of reinforcements to the legal, institutional, and medical frameworks of mental health care in British Ceylon. This included the decentralization of the psychiatric services, a reworking of the Lunacy Ordinance to incorporate treatment into the legal framework, and the establishment of a separate service of medical professionals dedicated to psychiatry. Mapother's recommendations led to several of the best local medical professionals to be sent to London for extensive training in psychiatry, while nurses from England were sent to British Ceylon to supervise hospital operations and train local staff&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;.

On August 25, 1938, the Executive Committee of Health approved the strategies proposed by Mapother, though the Government was unable to fully implement all of Mapother's interventions due to the 'heavy cost'. In fact, the Government decided to forego one of his proposals, which was the suggestion of a &quot;Visiting Committee&quot;. This committee was tasked to &quot;meet at the hospital, carry out inspections, and make recommendations&quot; to the Executive Committee of Health&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. The Government realized that deficiencies in their mental healthcare system could prove to be &quot;costly&quot; for their reputation. Mapother was reportedly enraged when he found out. Mapother intended to contact the Secretary of State regarding the &quot;distortion&quot; of his plans, but was interrupted by events preluding to [[w:World_War_II|World War II]]&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. Mapother passed away on March 20, 1940, without materializing his follow-up plans.

=== Post-Mapother developments and further innovations ===
[[File:Sri Lanka districts Colombo.svg|thumb|A map of Sri Lanka highlighting the Colombo District, where the capital is located. 
|right|250px]]Mapother's insights on the mental healthcare structure in British Ceylon proved to be the catalyst of massive renovations. In 1939, the first outpatient clinic was established in the [[w:National_Hospital_of_Sri_Lanka|National Hospital of Sri Lanka]] in Colombo. The first trained Ceylonese psychiatrists began practice in the 1940s, leading to the establishment of the first neuropsychiatric clinic in Colombo in 1943. Treatments for the mentally ill improved dramatically, as protectional therapy expanded to [[w:insulin_shock_therapy|insulin shock therapy]] and [[w:Electroconvulsive_therapy|cardiazol convulsive therapy]]&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Kathriarachchi|first=Samudra T.|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V. Lakmi|last3=Amarakoon|first3=Luckshika|date=2019-06|title=Development of Mental Health Care in Sri Lanka: Lessons Learned|url=https://journals.lww.com/tpsy/fulltext/2019/33020/development_of_mental_health_care_in_sri_lanka_.1.aspx|journal=Taiwanese Journal of Psychiatry|language=en-US|volume=33|issue=2|pages=55|doi=10.4103/TPSY.TPSY_15_19|issn=1028-3684}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Mapother's advocation for the decentralization of services were further honored through the 1947 establishment of a first child guidance clinic in Colombo General Hospital&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;. 

In 1948, British Ceylon was granted independence from the British after the [[w:Sri_Lankan_independence_movement|Sri Lankan independence movement]]. Changes in the mental healthcare structure were not immediate following independence, but rapid expensions of mental healthcare services were still ongoing. 

The following decades saw positive institutional developments, such as the creation of a second hospital in [[w:Mulleriyawa|Mulleriyawa]] in 1957, and the creation of a psychiatric inpatient unit in Colombo General Hospital in 1967—effectively granting the city of Colombo the luxury of hosting the top psychiatric care in the country&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot;&gt;{{Cite book|url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|title=Mental Health System Development in Sri Lanka|last=Minas|first=Harry|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Hall|first3=Teresa|date=2017|publisher=Springer US|isbn=978-1-4899-7997-1|editor-last=Minas|editor-first=Harry|location=Boston, MA|pages=59–77|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|editor-last2=Lewis|editor-first2=Milton}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The 1950s was also the start of psychopharmacological innovations, with the introduction of [[w:Lithium_(medication)|lithium]] and long-acting injectable antipsychotics ([[w:Depot_injection|depot]] [[w:Antipsychotic|neuroleptics]]) in the succeeding years&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt;. Additionally, the number of public psychiatrist positions increased by 400% from 1953 to 1967&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;.

After 1960, mental health services began to disperse from the capital of Colombo to other cities in the country&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;.

In 1980, the [[w:Postgraduate_Institute_of_Medicine|Postgraduate Institute of Medicine]] began a program where students would enroll in a 5-year medical course and attain an MD in psychiatry, curbing the need for Sri Lankan medical students to be sent abroad to complete their training. Many of the medical students sent abroad for training never returned to Sri Lanka to practice, resulting in a &quot;1:500,000 to 1000,000&quot; ratio of psychiatrists to patients on &quot;most occasions&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;.

=== Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956 ===
In 1956, the 1873 Ordinance was revised a second time and renamed the &quot;Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Hapangama|first=Aruni|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Kuruppuarachchi|first3=K. a.

Another linguistic development is seen with the new revision as &quot;lunancy&quot; was replaced with &quot;mental disease&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot; /&gt;. The Ordinance paved the way for community-based services to be delivered to patients closer to their residences rather than solely allocating services to just hospitals. This led to the creation of a [[w:WHO|WHO]]-backed community clinic near the [[w:University_of_Colombo|University of Colombo]] in the 1970s, where the focus was to eventually ease patients in the Angoda Mental Hospital back into the general population&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;.

=== Developments from the 1990s ===
The 1990s and onwards saw further positive developments in framing the mental healthcare system, including the establishment of the [https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=featured&amp;Itemid=101&amp;lang=en Directorate of Mental Health] in 1998. The Directorate of Mental Health is a part of the [[w:Ministry_of_Health_(Sri_Lanka)|Ministry of Health]] who is responsible for the monitoring and implementation of mental health programs across the country&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?lang=en|title=Home - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-12}}&lt;/ref&gt;.  As of 2025, the current director of the Directorate of Mental Health is Dr. Chithramalee de Silva&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;.

On November 11, 2005, the Mental Health Policy was approved by the Government of Sri Lanka, advocating for establishments of more de-centralized, community-based mental health services across the country beyond the capital (Colombo). The policy aimed to concisely define the rigorous standards needed to be completed for each respected medical professional, including psychiatrists and clinical psychologists&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakshe|first=Onali Bimalka Wickramaseckara|last2=Mohan|first2=Mohapradeep|last3=Singh|first3=Swaran Preet|date=2023-05|title=Development of adolescent mental health services in Sri Lanka|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10895478/|journal=BJPsych international|volume=20|issue=2|pages=41–43|doi=10.1192/bji.2022.32|issn=2056-4740|pmc=10895478|pmid=38414998}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The policy also included a new position, the &quot;Medical Officer of Mental Health&quot;, who oversees and assists in the implementation of community-based mental health services&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;. This same year, the Sri Lankan government began implementing psychological services in state institutions, such as the military&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot; /&gt;.  

In 2007, the National Mental Health Advisory Council (NMHAC) was created to serve as an 'advisory' board for the Ministry of Health on what actions should be executed by the Directorate of Mental Health&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=9&amp;Itemid=220&amp;lang=en|title=Introduction - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-12}}&lt;/ref&gt;. 

In 2008, the Angoda Mental Hospital was restructured as the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt;. 

=== Modern-day Sri Lanka ===
[[File:Feeding Children in Sri Lanka.jpg|left|thumb|Despite the noteworthy improvements in mental healthcare services in recent decades, mental health remains a significant issue due to rising poverty. ]]
As of 2025, the Mental Health Act (mental health legislation) has been undergoing development since 2005 and is currently awaiting to be considered for the final stage of approval. This is expected to replace the 1956 Mental Health Ordinance&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt;.

Currently, there are 7 tertiary care hospitals, 61 adult patient units, 3 child inpatient units, and 1 forensic unit. The [[w:Lady_Ridgeway_Hospital_for_Children|Lady Ridgeway Hospital]] in Colombo and the Sirimavo Bandaranayke Specialized Children Hospital in Kandy are tailored towards alleviating children with [[w:Learning_disability|SLD]], [[w:ADHD|ADHD]], [[w:Autism_Spectrum_Disorder|ASD]] and family support for diagnosed children. As of 2017, 22 rehabilitation centers exist through the country, including 7 alcohol rehab centers&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt;. Despite the impressive advancements in mental healthcare in the last couple of decades, Sri Lanka still suffers significant mental health issues due to increasing poverty levels in the country. The [[w:World_Bank|World Bank]] reported that [https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/04/08/eesc-a08.html the poverty levels in Sri Lanka increased from 11% in 2019 to 26% in 2024], with 60% of Sri Lankan households facing &quot;decreased incomes&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Lakhtakia, Shruti, Atapattu Mudiyanselage, Udahiruni Shashadari Atapat, Walker, Richard Ancrum.

Washington, D.C.: World Bank Group. &lt;nowiki&gt;http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099634104012434919&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;. This was churned by Sri Lanka's excessive foreign debt, economic troubles stemming from [[w:Gotabaya_Rajapaksa|Gotabaya Rajapaksa]]'s presidential term, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the [[w:Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine|ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia (2022)]].  

According to [[w:NYU|New York University]] graduate student [https://gc-cuny.academia.edu/NadiaAugustyniak Nadia Augustyniak] in her 2025 overview of Sri Lanka's public mental healthcare system, poverty-induced financial precarity remains a major obstacle to receiving access to mental healthcare services. Even though trauma from adverse weather and conflict is deleterious to mental health, issues originating from every-day struggles, especially struggles related to poverty, could arguably play a more significant role&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Augustyniak|first=Nadia|date=2025-06-01|title=Public mental healthcare and economic vulnerability in Sri Lanka|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2666560324000926|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100387|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2024.100387|issn=2666-5603}}&lt;/ref&gt;.  

== Impact of Conflict &amp; Disaster ==

=== Sri Lankan Civil War ===
The '''Sri Lankan Civil War''' was a domestic conflict that took place between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (abbreviated as the ''LTTE),'' a militant group formed in the 1970s as a result of rising tensions between the majority Sinhalese and minority Tamil population. The group is considered a terrorist organization&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.start.umd.edu/baad/database/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-ltte-1998.html|title=BAAD - Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) - 1998 {{!}} START.umd.edu|website=www.start.umd.edu|access-date=2025-06-09}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-aka-tamil-tigers-sri-lanka-separatists|title=Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (aka Tamil Tigers) (Sri Lanka, separatists) {{!}} Council on Foreign Relations|last=Bhattacharji|first=Preeti|website=www.cfr.org|language=en|access-date=2025-06-09}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Through brutal massacres, assassinations, and suicide bombings, the LTTE waged decades of terror which led to civilian displacement, infrastructure collapse, and the reduction of mental health services available in the northern region.

The civil war mainly affected the northeastern portion of the country, including the [[w:Vanni_(Sri_Lanka)|Vanni region]]. The conflict caused mass destruction to local mental healthcare facilities. Local residents described the conflict with the phrase ''varthayal varnicca mudiyathavai'', roughly translating into English as 'beyond description by words'&lt;ref name=&quot;:9&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Somasundaram|first=Daya|date=2010-07-28|title=Collective trauma in the Vanni- a qualitative inquiry into the mental health of the internally displaced due to the civil war in Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/1752-4458-4-22|journal=International Journal of Mental Health Systems|language=en|volume=4|issue=1|pages=22|doi=10.1186/1752-4458-4-22|issn=1752-4458|pmc=2923106|pmid=20667090}}&lt;/ref&gt;. In 2003, only two psychiatrists were found in the region, operating on extremely limited resources and further deepening long-term trauma and mental health deterioration in the population&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;. 

In 2002, the humanitarian organization [https://www.msf.org/ Médecins Sans Frontières] (MSF) performed an investigation of mental health needs in the [[w:Vavuniya|Vavuniya]] area (which was the site of intense conflict during the war, including the [[w:1985_Vavuniya_massacre|1985 Vavuniya massacre]]) and found that many of the residents suffered from high suicide rates, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, grief, and a &quot;sense of ‘learnt helplessness’&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;. A team from the University of Konstanz in Germany found that 92% of grade school children in the region were exposed to &quot;combat, shelling, and witnessing the death of loved ones&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:9&quot; /&gt;.

Alongside the oppression by the Sri Lankan military, the Vanni population also endured the brutal theatrics of the LTTE, which recruited men, women, and even children with minimal training, effectively rendering them cannon fodder. 

Over 200,000 Tamil civilians were moved into [[w:Internally_displaced_persons_in_Sri_Lanka|designated displacement camps during the war]], where conditions were abysmal&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Dissanayake|first=Lasith|last2=Jabir|first2=Sameeha|last3=Shepherd|first3=Thomas|last4=Helliwell|first4=Toby|last5=Selvaratnam|first5=Lavan|last6=Jayaweera|first6=Kaushalya|last7=Abeysinghe|first7=Nihal|last8=Mallen|first8=Christian|last9=Sumathipala|first9=Athula|date=2023-08-31|title=The aftermath of war; mental health, substance use and their correlates with social support and resilience among adolescents in a post-conflict region of Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/s13034-023-00648-1|journal=Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health|language=en|volume=17|issue=1|pages=101|doi=10.1186/s13034-023-00648-1|issn=1753-2000}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The suicide rate in these displacement camps were three times the community-level (2002), with a ratio of 103.5 per 10,000 compared to the Sri Lankan general population's rate of 37.5 per 10,000. Almost all suicide attempts involved poisonous substances. Other forms of violence included domestic violence and child abuse. Local health officials in Vavuniya admitted that mental health concerns were a major problem, but were unable to address these concerns due to a lack of resources and support from the government. During the [[wikipedia:Sri_Lankan_civil_war#2002_peace_process_(2002%E2%80%932006)|brief 2002 ceasefire]], the MSF implemented a &quot;community-based programme&quot; which included &quot;increasing awareness, community strengthening, reinforcing coping-strategies for longterm war-affected communities, and counselling&quot;. The MSF also advocated for restrictions of poisonous substances due to the suicide attempts, and stressed that &quot;much more [than resettlement]&quot; would need to be done to help alleviate the psychological pain the northern population had faced&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=de Jong|first=Kaz|last2=Mulhern|first2=Maureen|last3=Ford|first3=Nathan|last4=Simpson|first4=Isabel|last5=Swan|first5=Alison|last6=van der Kam|first6=Saskia|date=2002-04|title=Psychological trauma of the civil war in Sri Lanka|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0140673602084209|journal=The Lancet|language=en|volume=359|issue=9316|pages=1517–1518|doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(02)08420-9}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

Mental health continues to be a critically relevant topic as the island nation has experienced decades of [[w:Black_July|violent ethnic conflict]], terrorist attacks, war crimes, and economic disruptions. Sri Lanka has only recently exited the climaxes of a [[w:Sri_Lankan_economic_crisis_(2019–2024)|severe economic crisis in 2022]], a [[w:Sri_Lankan_civil_war|nearly 30-year civil war ending in 2009]], a [[w:2019_Sri_Lanka_Easter_bombings|2019 terrorist attack]], and continues to face the ripple effects of the [[w:2004_Boxing_Day_tsunami|2004 Boxing Day tsunami]]. The exact effect these major events have had on mental health in the country is &quot;unknown&quot;, but the statistics remain alarming despite a declining trend. 

Suicide rates in the country during the mid-1990s were the second-highest in the world with ingesting toxic products being the main suicide method. Despite the decline in suicide numbers since then—possibly attributed to Sri Lanka's ban on toxic products—evidence from a 2023 study reports an upward trend in suicide through hanging from 2016 to 2021—independent of the [[w:COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sri_Lanka|COVID-19 pandemic]]. Several risk factors for suicide, such as poverty and economic instability, are still prevalent and even increasing in the country to this day&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakse|first=Thilini|last2=Silva|first2=Tharuka|last3=Hettiarachchi|first3=Nirosha Madhuwanthi|last4=Gunnell|first4=David|last5=Metcalfe|first5=Chris|last6=Spittal|first6=Matthew J.|last7=Knipe|first7=Duleeka|date=2023-01-19|title=The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdowns on Self-Poisoning and Suicide in Sri Lanka: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9914278/|journal=International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health|volume=20|issue=3|pages=1833|doi=10.3390/ijerph20031833|issn=1660-4601|pmc=9914278|pmid=36767200}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

==Historical Development of Mental Health Services==

In the 1800s, established care for mental health began shifting from indigenous practices, mainly derived from [[w:Ayurveda|Ayurveda medicine]], to a Western model&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Gambheera, H. (2011). [https://www.saarcpsychiatry.com/viewText?chapter=c6 The evolution of psychiatric services in Sri Lanka]. South Asian Journal of Psychiatry, 2(1), 25–27.&lt;/ref&gt;. 

=== Adoption of a Western-based mental healthcare model and issuances of ordinances ===
In 1839, [[w:James_Alexander_Stewart-Mackenzie|James Alexander Stewart-Mackenzie]], the 7th Governor of British Ceylon, released the Lunacy Ordinance, authorizing municipal authorities to create lunatic asylums for the mentally ill in the country&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=6&amp;Itemid=125&amp;lang=en|title=History - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-10}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The ordinance was concerned with the legal frameworks of detaining individuals considered dangerous to others or individuals falsely presenting themselves as mentally ill, and not on medical treatments to alleviate the conditions of detained individuals. UK psychiatrist [[w:Edward_Mapother|Edward Mapother]] critiqued the ordinance during his 1937 inspection of British Ceylon's mental health institutions in a series of reports titled ''A Disgrace to a Civilised Community'', remarking that the ordinance &quot;[did] not seem to have contemplated treatment as a contingency to be considered&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot;&gt;{{Cite book|title=Permeable walls: historical perspectives on hospital and asylum visiting|date=2009|publisher=Rodopi|isbn=978-90-420-2599-8|editor-last=Mooney|editor-first=Graham|series=Clio medica|location=Amsterdam New York, NY|editor-last2=Reinarz|editor-first2=Jonathan}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

In 1840, the 1839 Ordinance was repealed and replaced by the 1840 Ordinance. The 1839 Ordinance was almost identical to the 1840 Ordinance, except the removal of two previous requirements: the requirement for official medical diagnoses of the mentally insane and the mandate to maintain adequate staff-to-patient ratios within lunatic asylums&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Alwis|first=L.

S.|last4=Abhayanayaka|first4=C.|date=2024-12-31|title=The development of laws related to the disposal of forensic patients in Sri Lanka: A historical review|url=https://sljpsyc.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/sljpsyc.v15i2.8569|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Psychiatry|language=en-US|volume=15|issue=2|doi=10.4038/sljpsyc.v15i2.8569|issn=2012-6883}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

In 1873, a third Ordinance was released. It included linguistic changes, where the term, &quot;insane&quot;, was replaced with &quot;of unsound mind&quot;. The Ordinance also gave more power to medical professionals in determining insanity diagnoses, and more power to detainees in appealing their commitment to the mental asylum. Despite this Ordinance being the most comprehensive outlook on mental healthcare in the country by that point, the legal frameworks behind the detainment of the criminally insane were left identical to previous ordinances&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;.

=== Development of mental asylums ===
At the time the 1839 ordinance was released, mentally ill patients were placed either in prisons throughout the country or leprosy hospitals, such as the [[w:Hendala_Leprosy_Hospital|Hendala Leprosy Hospital]] in the Gampaha district&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;. After the creation of the first mental asylum in Borella in 1846, patients from the Hendala Leprosy Hospital were transferred to the institute in Borella. Overcrowding soon became an issue and patients institutionalized at the Borella mental asylum were sent to prisons across the country. [[File:Edward Mapother.jpg|thumb|A portrait taken of Edward Mapother during his time working at [[w:Maudsley_Hospital|Maudsley Hospital]] in London.
]]

As medical institutions were being made to house the mentally insane, another mental asylum was created in the [[w:Cinnamon_Gardens|Cinnamon Gardens]] area of Colombo in 1884, though this mental asylum faced overcrowding in just one year&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;. Treatment in these asylums was limited to occupational and protection therapy, failing to provide treatment for the root causes of the mental disorders.

In 1926, the Angoda Mental Hospital was established, scantily alleviating the severe overcrowding issues that were plaguing the preceding mental asylums. Despite an expansion in physical setting to 1,700 beds, treatment was still vastly limited and the patients were left in significantly poor conditions. 

=== Edward Mapother's 1937 inspection of British Ceylon ===
Edward Mapother was born in Dublin, Ireland, on July 12, 1881 and moved to London when he was 7 years old&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=Madness to mental illness: a history of the Royal College of Psychiatrists|last=Bewley|first=Thomas|date=2008|publisher=RCPsych Publications ; Distributed in North America by Balogh International|isbn=978-1-904671-35-0|location=London : [S.l.]}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Mapother attained his M.D. in 1908. While Mapother was the Medical Superintendent of Maudsley Hospital in London, England, he was invited to inspect British Ceylon's mental health institutions by Dr S. T. Gunasekara, the first Medical Director of British Ceylon&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;.

In Mapother's visit, he commented that the Angoda Mental Hospital had the atmosphere of &quot;a prison that is neglected and dilapidated&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. Overcrowding was still a major issue, with the institute hosting 3,000 patients—more than double the intended capacity. Patients were sleeping on mats and were clearly out of reach of adequate treatment. Mapother also noted that only 4% of public health expenditure in the country was being set for hospitals, drawing a stark comparison to London's 25%&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. Mapother offered a vivid and grim account of the hospital in his reports:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
The floor, roof and walls of each cell consist alike of drab cement without any attempt at colouring or decoration. High up in one wall is a small window with stout iron bars. In the floor is a large hole into which the patient may pass his motion and urine. These cells are incompletely divided from one another by a partition which does not reach the roof so that the noise and stink from any one cell may reach at least all the others of the same row. Into these empty cells I was informed that the most noisy and troublesome patients in the hospital; were turned at night completely naked. The doors of the cell contain no observation window, and considering the violent character of many of these patients there is every ground for believing that the doors are rarely opened in the night by the solitary attendant on duty. It needs little imagination to picture the suffering of any patient in an early stage of bodily illness passing a night under such conditions, a situation which must frequently arise. I am told that the noise proceeding from this building is like that on a bad night in a menagerie&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Mapother proposed a series of reinforcements to the legal, institutional, and medical frameworks of mental health care in British Ceylon. This included the decentralization of the psychiatric services, a reworking of the Lunacy Ordinance to incorporate treatment into the legal framework, and the establishment of a separate service of medical professionals dedicated to psychiatry. Mapother's recommendations led to several of the best local medical professionals to be sent to London for extensive training in psychiatry, while nurses from England were sent to British Ceylon to supervise hospital operations and train local staff&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;.

On August 25, 1938, the Executive Committee of Health approved the strategies proposed by Mapother, though the Government was unable to fully implement all of Mapother's interventions due to the 'heavy cost'. In fact, the Government decided to forego one of his proposals, which was the suggestion of a &quot;Visiting Committee&quot;. This committee was tasked to &quot;meet at the hospital, carry out inspections, and make recommendations&quot; to the Executive Committee of Health&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. The Government realized that deficiencies in their mental healthcare system could prove to be &quot;costly&quot; for their reputation. Mapother was reportedly enraged when he found out. Mapother intended to contact the Secretary of State regarding the &quot;distortion&quot; of his plans, but was interrupted by events preluding to [[w:World_War_II|World War II]]&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;. Mapother passed away on March 20, 1940, without materializing his follow-up plans.

=== Post-Mapother developments and further innovations ===
[[File:Sri Lanka districts Colombo.svg|thumb|A map of Sri Lanka highlighting the Colombo District, where the capital is located. 
|right|250px]]Mapother's insights on the mental healthcare structure in British Ceylon proved to be the catalyst of massive renovations. In 1939, the first outpatient clinic was established in the [[w:National_Hospital_of_Sri_Lanka|National Hospital of Sri Lanka]] in Colombo. The first trained Ceylonese psychiatrists began practice in the 1940s, leading to the establishment of the first neuropsychiatric clinic in Colombo in 1943. Treatments for the mentally ill improved dramatically, as protectional therapy expanded to [[w:insulin_shock_therapy|insulin shock therapy]] and [[w:Electroconvulsive_therapy|cardiazol convulsive therapy]]&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Kathriarachchi|first=Samudra T.|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V. Lakmi|last3=Amarakoon|first3=Luckshika|date=2019-06|title=Development of Mental Health Care in Sri Lanka: Lessons Learned|url=https://journals.lww.com/tpsy/fulltext/2019/33020/development_of_mental_health_care_in_sri_lanka_.1.aspx|journal=Taiwanese Journal of Psychiatry|language=en-US|volume=33|issue=2|pages=55|doi=10.4103/TPSY.TPSY_15_19|issn=1028-3684}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Mapother's advocation for the decentralization of services were further honored through the 1947 establishment of a first child guidance clinic in Colombo General Hospital&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;. 

In 1948, British Ceylon was granted independence from the British after the [[w:Sri_Lankan_independence_movement|Sri Lankan independence movement]]. Changes in the mental healthcare structure were not immediate following independence, but rapid expensions of mental healthcare services were still ongoing. 

The following decades saw positive institutional developments, such as the creation of a second hospital in [[w:Mulleriyawa|Mulleriyawa]] in 1957, and the creation of a psychiatric inpatient unit in Colombo General Hospital in 1967—effectively granting the city of Colombo the luxury of hosting the top psychiatric care in the country&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot;&gt;{{Cite book|url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|title=Mental Health System Development in Sri Lanka|last=Minas|first=Harry|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Hall|first3=Teresa|date=2017|publisher=Springer US|isbn=978-1-4899-7997-1|editor-last=Minas|editor-first=Harry|location=Boston, MA|pages=59–77|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|editor-last2=Lewis|editor-first2=Milton}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The 1950s was also the start of psychopharmacological innovations, with the introduction of [[w:Lithium_(medication)|lithium]] and long-acting injectable antipsychotics ([[w:Depot_injection|depot]] [[w:Antipsychotic|neuroleptics]]) in the succeeding years&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt;. Additionally, the number of public psychiatrist positions increased by 400% from 1953 to 1967&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;.

After 1960, mental health services began to disperse from the capital of Colombo to other cities in the country&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;.

In 1980, the [[w:Postgraduate_Institute_of_Medicine|Postgraduate Institute of Medicine]] began a program where students would enroll in a 5-year medical course and attain an MD in psychiatry, curbing the need for Sri Lankan medical students to be sent abroad to complete their training. Many of the medical students sent abroad for training never returned to Sri Lanka to practice, resulting in a &quot;1:500,000 to 1000,000&quot; ratio of psychiatrists to patients on &quot;most occasions&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;.

=== Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956 ===
In 1956, the 1873 Ordinance was revised a second time and renamed the &quot;Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Hapangama|first=Aruni|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Kuruppuarachchi|first3=K. a.

Another linguistic development is seen with the new revision as &quot;lunancy&quot; was replaced with &quot;mental disease&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:6&quot; /&gt;. The Ordinance paved the way for community-based services to be delivered to patients closer to their residences rather than solely allocating services to just hospitals. This led to the creation of a [[w:WHO|WHO]]-backed community clinic near the [[w:University_of_Colombo|University of Colombo]] in the 1970s, where the focus was to eventually ease patients in the Angoda Mental Hospital back into the general population&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;.

=== Developments from the 1990s ===
The 1990s and onwards saw further positive developments in framing the mental healthcare system, including the establishment of the [https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=featured&amp;Itemid=101&amp;lang=en Directorate of Mental Health] in 1998. The Directorate of Mental Health is a part of the [[w:Ministry_of_Health_(Sri_Lanka)|Ministry of Health]] who is responsible for the monitoring and implementation of mental health programs across the country&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?lang=en|title=Home - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-12}}&lt;/ref&gt;.  As of 2025, the current director of the Directorate of Mental Health is Dr. Chithramalee de Silva&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;.

On November 11, 2005, the Mental Health Policy was approved by the Government of Sri Lanka, advocating for establishments of more de-centralized, community-based mental health services across the country beyond the capital (Colombo). The policy aimed to concisely define the rigorous standards needed to be completed for each respected medical professional, including psychiatrists and clinical psychologists&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakshe|first=Onali Bimalka Wickramaseckara|last2=Mohan|first2=Mohapradeep|last3=Singh|first3=Swaran Preet|date=2023-05|title=Development of adolescent mental health services in Sri Lanka|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10895478/|journal=BJPsych international|volume=20|issue=2|pages=41–43|doi=10.1192/bji.2022.32|issn=2056-4740|pmc=10895478|pmid=38414998}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The policy also included a new position, the &quot;Medical Officer of Mental Health&quot;, who oversees and assists in the implementation of community-based mental health services&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;. This same year, the Sri Lankan government began implementing psychological services in state institutions, such as the military&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot; /&gt;.  

In 2007, the National Mental Health Advisory Council (NMHAC) was created to serve as an 'advisory' board for the Ministry of Health on what actions should be executed by the Directorate of Mental Health&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=9&amp;Itemid=220&amp;lang=en|title=Introduction - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-12}}&lt;/ref&gt;. 

In 2008, the Angoda Mental Hospital was restructured as the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt;. 

=== Modern-day Sri Lanka ===
[[File:Feeding Children in Sri Lanka.jpg|left|thumb|Despite the noteworthy improvements in mental healthcare services in recent decades, mental health remains a significant issue due to rising poverty. ]]
As of 2025, the Mental Health Act (mental health legislation) has been undergoing development since 2005 and is currently awaiting to be considered for the final stage of approval. This is expected to replace the 1956 Mental Health Ordinance&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt;.

Currently, there are 7 tertiary care hospitals, 61 adult patient units, 3 child inpatient units, and 1 forensic unit. The [[w:Lady_Ridgeway_Hospital_for_Children|Lady Ridgeway Hospital]] in Colombo and the Sirimavo Bandaranayke Specialized Children Hospital in Kandy are tailored towards alleviating children with [[w:Learning_disability|SLD]], [[w:ADHD|ADHD]], [[w:Autism_Spectrum_Disorder|ASD]] and family support for diagnosed children. As of 2017, 22 rehabilitation centers exist through the country, including 7 alcohol rehab centers&lt;ref name=&quot;:7&quot; /&gt;. Despite the impressive advancements in mental healthcare in the last couple of decades, Sri Lanka still suffers significant mental health issues due to increasing poverty levels in the country. The [[w:World_Bank|World Bank]] reported that [https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/04/08/eesc-a08.html the poverty levels in Sri Lanka increased from 11% in 2019 to 26% in 2024], with 60% of Sri Lankan households facing &quot;decreased incomes&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Lakhtakia, Shruti, Atapattu Mudiyanselage, Udahiruni Shashadari Atapat, Walker, Richard Ancrum.

Washington, D.C.: World Bank Group. &lt;nowiki&gt;http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099634104012434919&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/ref&gt;. This was churned by Sri Lanka's excessive foreign debt, economic troubles stemming from [[w:Gotabaya_Rajapaksa|Gotabaya Rajapaksa]]'s presidential term, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the [[w:Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine|ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia (2022)]].  

According to [[w:NYU|New York University]] graduate student [https://gc-cuny.academia.edu/NadiaAugustyniak Nadia Augustyniak] in her 2025 overview of Sri Lanka's public mental healthcare system, poverty-induced financial precarity remains a major obstacle to receiving access to mental healthcare services. Even though trauma from adverse weather and conflict is deleterious to mental health, issues originating from every-day struggles, especially struggles related to poverty, could arguably play a more significant role&lt;ref name=&quot;:8&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Augustyniak|first=Nadia|date=2025-06-01|title=Public mental healthcare and economic vulnerability in Sri Lanka|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2666560324000926|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100387|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2024.100387|issn=2666-5603}}&lt;/ref&gt;.  

== Impact of Conflict &amp; Disaster ==

=== Sri Lankan Civil War ===
The '''Sri Lankan Civil War''' was a domestic conflict that took place between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (abbreviated as the ''LTTE),'' a militant group formed in the 1970s as a result of rising tensions between the majority Sinhalese and minority Tamil population. The group is considered a terrorist organization&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.start.umd.edu/baad/database/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-ltte-1998.html|title=BAAD - Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) - 1998 {{!}} START.umd.edu|website=www.start.umd.edu|access-date=2025-06-09}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-aka-tamil-tigers-sri-lanka-separatists|title=Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (aka Tamil Tigers) (Sri Lanka, separatists) {{!}} Council on Foreign Relations|last=Bhattacharji|first=Preeti|website=www.cfr.org|language=en|access-date=2025-06-09}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Through brutal massacres, assassinations, and suicide bombings, the LTTE waged decades of terror which led to civilian displacement, infrastructure collapse, and the reduction of mental health services available in the northern region.

The civil war mainly affected the northeastern portion of the country, including the [[w:Vanni_(Sri_Lanka)|Vanni region]]. The conflict caused mass destruction to local mental healthcare facilities. Local residents described the conflict with the phrase ''varthayal varnicca mudiyathavai'', roughly translating into English as 'beyond description by words'&lt;ref name=&quot;:9&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Somasundaram|first=Daya|date=2010-07-28|title=Collective trauma in the Vanni- a qualitative inquiry into the mental health of the internally displaced due to the civil war in Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/1752-4458-4-22|journal=International Journal of Mental Health Systems|language=en|volume=4|issue=1|pages=22|doi=10.1186/1752-4458-4-22|issn=1752-4458|pmc=2923106|pmid=20667090}}&lt;/ref&gt;. In 2003, only two psychiatrists were found in the region, operating on extremely limited resources and further deepening long-term trauma and mental health deterioration in the population&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;. 

In 2002, the humanitarian organization [https://www.msf.org/ Médecins Sans Frontières] (MSF) performed an investigation of mental health needs in the [[w:Vavuniya|Vavuniya]] area (which was the site of intense conflict during the war, including the [[w:1985_Vavuniya_massacre|1985 Vavuniya massacre]]) and found that many of the residents suffered from high suicide rates, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, grief, and a &quot;sense of ‘learnt helplessness’&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt;. A team from the University of Konstanz in Germany found that 92% of grade school children in the region were exposed to &quot;combat, shelling, and witnessing the death of loved ones&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:9&quot; /&gt;.

[[w:War_crimes_during_the_final_stages_of_the_Sri_Lankan_civil_war|Extensive war crimes committed by the Sri Lankan government]] are not a mystery to be unraveled and are generally known to the public, despite the government's attempts to surpress any [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_p1TfTguW0 mentions] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vtm54Y9USEg investigations] of it&lt;ref&gt;See also [[w:Sexual violence in the Sri Lankan civil war]].&lt;/ref&gt;. A 2009 HRW report stated that the Sri Lankan government assumed native Tamil population residing in war zones to be &quot;siding with the LTTE and [therefore, were] treated as combatants&quot;, leading to indiscriminate shellings and massacres of civilians&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|date=2009-02-19|title=War on the Displaced|url=https://www.hrw.org/report/2009/02/19/war-displaced/sri-lankan-army-and-ltte-abuses-against-civilians-vanni|journal=Human Rights Watch|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;. Alongside the oppression by the Sri Lankan military, the Vanni population also endured the brutal theatrics of the LTTE, which recruited men, women, and even children with minimal training, effectively rendering them cannon fodder. 

Over 200,000 Tamil civilians were moved into [[w:Internally_displaced_persons_in_Sri_Lanka|designated displacement camps during the war]], where conditions were abysmal&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Dissanayake|first=Lasith|last2=Jabir|first2=Sameeha|last3=Shepherd|first3=Thomas|last4=Helliwell|first4=Toby|last5=Selvaratnam|first5=Lavan|last6=Jayaweera|first6=Kaushalya|last7=Abeysinghe|first7=Nihal|last8=Mallen|first8=Christian|last9=Sumathipala|first9=Athula|date=2023-08-31|title=The aftermath of war; mental health, substance use and their correlates with social support and resilience among adolescents in a post-conflict region of Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/s13034-023-00648-1|journal=Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health|language=en|volume=17|issue=1|pages=101|doi=10.1186/s13034-023-00648-1|issn=1753-2000}}&lt;/ref&gt;. The suicide rate in these displacement camps were three times the community-level (2002), with a ratio of 103.5 per 10,000 compared to the Sri Lankan general population's rate of 37.5 per 10,000. Almost all suicide attempts involved poisonous substances. Other forms of violence included domestic violence and child abuse. Local health officials in Vavuniya admitted that mental health concerns were a major problem, but were unable to address these concerns due to a lack of resources and support from the government. During the [[wikipedia:Sri_Lankan_civil_war#2002_peace_process_(2002%E2%80%932006)|brief 2002 ceasefire]], the MSF implemented a &quot;community-based programme&quot; which included &quot;increasing awareness, community strengthening, reinforcing coping-strategies for longterm war-affected communities, and counselling&quot;. The MSF also advocated for restrictions of poisonous substances due to the suicide attempts, and stressed that &quot;much more [than resettlement]&quot; would need to be done to help alleviate the psychological pain the northern population had faced&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=de Jong|first=Kaz|last2=Mulhern|first2=Maureen|last3=Ford|first3=Nathan|last4=Simpson|first4=Isabel|last5=Swan|first5=Alison|last6=van der Kam|first6=Saskia|date=2002-04|title=Psychological trauma of the civil war in Sri Lanka|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0140673602084209|journal=The Lancet|language=en|volume=359|issue=9316|pages=1517–1518|doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(02)08420-9}}&lt;/ref&gt;.

== 1 What is an &quot;AI workbench&quot; and why do we need it ==
An &quot;AI workbench&quot; empowers users to leverage LLMs locally and via API for inference, fine-tuning and other usage. 

We need this tool to promote individual management of LLM resources.

Multi-faceted diversity in the development of AI

Community AI / Development

== 4 LLM interfaces ==
With the main goal of the AIX Workbench, there were a few points of considerations that needed to be met. We needed the LLM Interface to be able to be modified so it satisfies the following characteristics: 

* Secure
* Responsible
* Replicable
* Shareable/Collaborative 
* Deployable


The most commonly used &quot;AI&quot; by far are the cloud-based ones. Although, they have beginner friendly ease-of-access, the issue with most cloud-based LLM is that they are run and operated by the provider's machine. In addition, the limited customizability and data privacy concerns makes them a questionable use for the AIX Workbench. The limited customizability doesn't allow the user to modify parameters. The major data privacy concerns is that the provider could use the user's chats &amp; documents to train its models, which means sensitive information could be exposed.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.datacamp.com/blog/the-pros-and-cons-of-using-llm-in-the-cloud-versus-running-llm-locally|title=The Pros and Cons of Using Large Language Models (LLMs) in the Cloud vs. Running LLMs Locally: Which Is Right for You?|last=Ali Awan|first=Abid|date=May 23, 2023|website=datacamp.com}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Local LLM Interfaces such as Open WebUI, GPT4ALL and LMStudio are run locally on your computer. This tackles the main issue of cloud-based LLM's which is customizability and data privacy.

== 4 LLM interfaces ==
With the main goal of the AIX Workbench, there were a few points of considerations that needed to be met. We needed the LLM Interface to be able to be modified so it satisfies the following characteristics: 

* Secure
* Responsible
* Replicable
* Shareable/Collaborative 
* Deployable


The most commonly used &quot;AI&quot; by far are the cloud-based ones. Although, they have beginner friendly ease-of-access, the issue with most cloud-based LLM is that they are run and operated by the provider's machine. In addition, the limited customizability and data privacy concerns makes them a questionable use for the AIX Workbench. The limited customizability doesn't allow the user to modify parameters. The major data privacy concerns is that the provider could use the user's chats &amp; documents to train its models, which means sensitive information could be exposed.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.datacamp.com/blog/the-pros-and-cons-of-using-llm-in-the-cloud-versus-running-llm-locally|title=The Pros and Cons of Using Large Language Models (LLMs) in the Cloud vs. Running LLMs Locally: Which Is Right for You?|last=Ali Awan|first=Abid|date=May 23, 2023|website=datacamp.com}}&lt;/ref&gt;

The major data privacy concerns is that the provider could use the user's chats &amp; documents to train its models, which means sensitive information could be exposed.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.datacamp.com/blog/the-pros-and-cons-of-using-llm-in-the-cloud-versus-running-llm-locally|title=The Pros and Cons of Using Large Language Models (LLMs) in the Cloud vs. Running LLMs Locally: Which Is Right for You?|last=Ali Awan|first=Abid|date=May 23, 2023|website=datacamp.com}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== '''5.1 Purpose – Overview of Geological Clues and Planetary Growth''' ===

This chapter investigates how geological evidence from Earth and other celestial bodies may support or challenge current models of planetary formation and evolution. While mainstream geology relies primarily on '''plate tectonics''' and '''mantle convection''' to explain surface dynamics, several independent researchers have proposed alternative models that suggest a long-term increase in '''planetary mass''' and '''volume'''—sometimes referred to as '''planetary growth''' or '''Earth expansion'''.

The primary purpose of this chapter is to bring these perspectives together and evaluate them against empirical geological data such as:

* The distribution and age of the oceanic crust  
* Paleomagnetic records and continent reconstruction  
* Fossil alignment and paleoclimate indicators  
* Historical variations in daylength (ΔT)  
* Seafloor spreading rates and mid-ocean ridge activity  
* Geophysical measurements of planetary radius and density

These geological clues may offer insight into fundamental planetary processes that are often interpreted differently in mainstream and non-mainstream frameworks. For example, the '''Expanding Earth hypothesis''' and '''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' both propose mechanisms for mass increase over geological time, which may manifest as tectonic, rotational, or geophysical changes observable today.

This chapter aims to:
* Establish a comparative overview of planetary growth theories  
* Analyze how well each model explains geological patterns  
* Explore the possible connection between '''cosmological influx''' and '''geological evolution'''  
* Provide a structured evaluation based on transparent scientific criteria

By grounding these discussions in observable geological data, we hope to assess whether an increase in planetary size or mass is a speculative hypothesis or a testable scientific proposition.


=== '''5.2 Scope – Mainstream and Non-mainstream Theories''' ===

This subsection defines the scope of theories considered in the context of geological clues and planetary growth. It includes both mainstream models accepted by the scientific establishment and non-mainstream models developed by independent researchers who interpret the same geological data through different theoretical lenses.

==== '''Mainstream Scope''' ====
Mainstream geology is largely built upon:
* '''Plate Tectonics Theory''', which explains crustal movement through subduction and seafloor spreading  
* '''Mantle Convection Models''', which describe heat-driven flow within Earth's mantle as the engine for tectonic activity  
* '''Isostasy and Crustal Recycling''', emphasizing a relatively stable Earth radius over time  
* '''Radiometric Dating and Stratigraphy''', to measure geologic time and crustal evolution  

These frameworks assume a '''conservation of planetary mass and volume''', viewing geological processes as surface rearrangements on a constant-radius Earth.

==== '''Non-mainstream Scope''' ====
Alternative theories challenge the assumption of constant mass and radius. These include:

* '''Expanding Earth Theories''' – initiated by Hilgenberg, later developed by Maxlow, Scalera, and others. They propose that Earth’s radius has increased over time, supported by paleomagnetic reconstructions and crustal age patterns.  
* '''Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics (WEDD)''' – developed by J. Marvin Herndon, positing that Earth initially formed as a Jupiter-like gas giant and expanded after losing its primordial envelope.  
* '''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' – proposing a directional influx of energy or matter that increases planetary mass-energy over time, potentially accounting for observed geological and geodynamic evolution.  
* '''Growing Earth Hypotheses''' – broadly describing frameworks in which mass accumulation (e.g., via influx, particle capture, or internal generation) drives long-term planetary expansion.  

==== '''Scope Limitations''' ====
This chapter will not cover speculative or purely metaphysical models unless they provide testable geological implications. The focus remains on theories that aim to explain '''observable crustal, magnetic, or structural features''' of planetary evolution.

By setting this balanced scope, we aim to compare how each theory engages with the same geological evidence and whether it offers a plausible, internally consistent explanation for planetary growth.


=== '''5.3 – How to Contribute a Theory''' ===

Researchers and contributors are welcome to propose additional theories of geological evolution and planetary growth. Submissions may include observational insights, mathematical models, conceptual frameworks, or hybrid approaches.

You can contribute in either of the following ways:

* Post directly on the '''Talk page''' of this chapter  
* Or email your proposal to: '''aitheroymapping@gmail.com'''

All submitted theories will be added to the mapping and evaluated using the shared criteria defined in '''Chapter 1.3: Evaluation Criteria'''. We encourage both mainstream and non-mainstream contributors to join this open effort to compare and improve our understanding of '''Geological Clues and Planetary Growth'''.


=== '''5.4 – Theory Mapping Table''' ===

The table below presents an overview of both mainstream and non-mainstream theories related to geological clues and planetary growth. Each theory is listed with its original proponent(s), approximate year of introduction, scientific status, and a summary of testable predictions. This mapping serves as a foundation for further evaluation in subsequent sections.

=== '''5.5 – Evaluation Criteria and Comparative Table''' ===

The geological and planetary growth theories presented in this chapter will be evaluated using the shared set of criteria defined in '''Chapter 1.3: List of Evaluation Criteria'''. These criteria support transparent comparison between mainstream and non-mainstream approaches, and help assess each theory’s contribution to understanding Earth's geological evolution and planetary dynamics.

The following seven criteria will be applied:

* '''Empirical Adequacy''' – alignment with geological data (e.g., crustal age maps, paleomagnetism, daylength records, tectonic features)
* '''Internal Consistency''' – logical coherence, mathematical soundness, and absence of internal contradictions
* '''Explanatory Power''' – ability to account for observed phenomena such as seafloor spreading, subduction, magnetic reversals, or radius change
* '''Predictive Strength''' – capacity to generate testable predictions about geological or planetary changes (e.g., ΔT curves, expansion pulses, mass-radius relations)
* '''Simplicity''' – parsimony in assumptions, reliance on known physical mechanisms where possible
* '''Compatibility with Cosmology''' – alignment or integration with broader theories of planetary formation, solar system evolution, and mass-energy frameworks
* '''Philosophical and Foundational Clarity''' – transparency of starting assumptions and ontological grounding of the model

These criteria offer a structured and balanced framework to evaluate the scientific value and coherence of diverse geological theories. The results of this comparative evaluation are summarized in the table below and explored in more detail in the next subsection ('''5.6 – AI Evaluation Based on Shared Criteria''').


=== '''5.6 – AI Evaluation Based on Shared Criteria''' ===

This subsection presents an AI-assisted comparative evaluation of geological and planetary growth theories based on the shared set of criteria defined in Chapter 1.3. The goal is to identify patterns, strengths, and limitations in how each theory aligns with geological evidence and broader physical frameworks. Each criterion is discussed in its own section to highlight how different models address (or fail to address) key aspects of geological evolution.

This qualitative synthesis draws from published literature, observational datasets, and conceptual consistency across theories.

==== '''Empirical Adequacy''' ====
'''Plate Tectonics''' shows strong alignment with surface features, paleomagnetic striping, and GPS-based motion.  
'''Scalera’s Model''', '''Expanding Earth''', and '''CIT''' provide reconstructions consistent with seafloor age data and ΔT daylength trends, though they are not widely integrated in mainstream datasets.  
'''WEDD''' and the '''Growing Earth Hypothesis''' partially align with crustal expansion indicators but lack full empirical coverage.  
'''Plasma Core''' and '''Pulse Expansion''' theories have low empirical foundation at present.

==== '''Internal Consistency''' ====
'''Plate Tectonics''' and the '''Geochemical Core Model''' are internally robust within standard physics.  
'''CIT''' displays strong internal logic, especially in combining influx-driven mass growth with observable rotational and structural consequences.  
'''Scalera’s reconstruction''' is consistent within its own geometric framework.  
'''WEDD''' and '''Pulse Expansion''' models require assumptions that remain unverified.  
'''Plasma Core''' models lack formal mathematical structure.

==== '''Explanatory Power''' ====
'''Plate Tectonics''' excels in explaining seafloor spreading, mountain formation, and subduction.  
'''CIT''' adds explanatory strength by accounting for ΔT, mass increase, and crustal evolution.  
'''Expanding Earth''' models unify fossil distribution and seafloor geometry but struggle with subduction absence.  
'''WEDD''' provides a bold narrative but lacks detailed explanation for observed crustal segmentation.  
'''Plasma Core''' and '''Pulse Expansion''' remain too speculative to evaluate fully.

==== '''Predictive Strength''' ====
'''CIT''' makes several testable predictions: preferred planetary radii, orbital periods, and ΔT trends.  
'''Plate Tectonics''' makes strong regional predictions (e.g., fault activity), though it assumes constant planetary volume.  
'''Scalera’s Model''' predicts asymmetric expansion signatures in paleomagnetic maps.  
'''WEDD''' and '''Growing Earth''' models do not consistently yield unique predictive outcomes.  
'''Pulse Expansion''' suggests episodic changes but lacks precise timing predictions.

==== '''Simplicity''' ====
'''Geochemical Core Formation''' and '''Plate Tectonics''' are relatively parsimonious within accepted physical theory.  
'''CIT''' uses a unifying influx mechanism rather than complex mantle cycles, offering simplicity at the foundational level.  
'''WEDD''' and '''Plasma Core''' involve complex and speculative internal dynamics.  
'''Expanding Earth''' models vary in complexity depending on geometric assumptions.

==== '''Compatibility with Cosmology''' ====
'''CIT''' explicitly integrates cosmological influx and aligns with universal mass-energy considerations.  
'''Plate Tectonics''' is agnostic toward cosmology, focusing on geophysical processes.  
'''Expanding Earth''', '''WEDD''', and '''Pulse Expansion''' lack direct ties to cosmological models, though some propose external triggers (e.g., loss of atmosphere, orbital shifts).  
'''Plasma Core''' remains disconnected from broader physics frameworks.

==== '''Philosophical and Foundational Clarity''' ====
'''CIT''' is transparent in its foundational assumptions: directional influx, non-conservation of planetary mass, and ontological realism.  
'''Plate Tectonics''' assumes mass conservation and passive mantle behavior.  
'''WEDD''' introduces assumptions about planetary origin that are difficult to validate.  
'''Pulse Expansion''' and '''Plasma Core''' are underdefined and raise open questions about mechanism and ontology.

In summary, this AI-assisted evaluation reveals a diverse landscape of geological theories with varying strengths. While mainstream models such as Plate Tectonics show strong empirical grounding and institutional support, emerging frameworks like the Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT) offer alternative interpretations that integrate geological, rotational, and cosmological observations. Several non-mainstream theories demonstrate internal coherence and partial explanatory overlap, but often lack predictive clarity or cosmological linkage. These differences will be further contextualized in the next subsection ('''5.7 – Helicopter View – Scientific Reception and Emerging Tensions''').


=== '''5.7 – Helicopter View – Scientific Reception and Emerging Tensions''' ===

The field of geological and planetary growth theories reflects a complex interplay between long-standing institutional consensus and a growing body of alternative interpretations. Mainstream geology—centered around Plate Tectonics and mantle convection—has dominated textbooks, academic curricula, and funding structures since the mid-20th century. These models are widely supported by seismic, geodetic, and oceanic crustal data, and have been reinforced by satellite-based GPS measurements.

However, the assumption of a constant Earth radius and conserved planetary mass has increasingly been questioned by independent researchers, especially in light of paleomagnetic reconstructions, crustal age symmetry, and ΔT daylength data. Theories such as the '''Expanding Earth model''', '''Scalera’s asymmetric reconstructions''', '''WEDD''', and the '''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' propose dynamic planetary evolution, suggesting a potential increase in planetary mass and/or volume over geological time.

These proposals have often met with institutional resistance or dismissal. Alternative models are frequently labeled as “non-scientific” or “fringe,” not necessarily because of a lack of internal coherence or observational support, but due to their incompatibility with foundational assumptions in current geological frameworks. In particular, models that question subduction or posit mass accretion are seen as challenging the core structure of mainstream tectonics.

Nonetheless, there are signs of growing interest in re-evaluating some of these assumptions. Peer-reviewed publications by researchers such as Scalera, Herndon, and Maxlow have brought new visibility to expansion-based models. Online academic platforms (e.g., ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Zenodo) have enabled independent researchers to circulate testable hypotheses outside of traditional peer-review bottlenecks.

The '''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''', in particular, offers a potentially unifying framework by linking geological evolution to cosmological energy influx. Its integration of ΔT measurements, crustal spreading observations, and mass-radius correlations allows it to make both local and systemic predictions—bridging Earth science and astrophysics.

Scientific reception remains polarized. While mainstream geophysics continues to emphasize plate mechanics within a closed mass system, the increasing availability of open data and simulation tools has enabled a new generation of researchers to explore models once considered out of bounds.

This epistemic tension reflects a broader issue in the philosophy of science: whether consensus and institutional stability should take precedence over open theoretical competition. As this chapter has shown, some alternative theories demonstrate sufficient internal logic and empirical grounding to warrant renewed attention and evaluation.

'''This evolving landscape underscores the importance of maintaining an open, evidence-based dialogue as new data and frameworks challenge established geological paradigms.'''


=== '''5.8 – Next Steps''' ===

This chapter has provided a structured comparison of geological and planetary growth theories, ranging from well-established models such as Plate Tectonics to emerging frameworks like the Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT). By applying consistent evaluation criteria, we aimed to highlight both the strengths and open questions associated with each theory.

Future work may proceed along several complementary paths:

* '''Data Re-evaluation and Re-analysis''' – Using modern crustal age maps, paleomagnetic reconstructions, and ΔT daylength datasets to test claims made by both mainstream and non-mainstream theories.

* '''Simulation and Modeling''' – Developing open-source tools or visual reconstructions to compare predictions of radius growth, seafloor spreading patterns, and tectonic dynamics under different theoretical assumptions.

* '''Interdisciplinary Integration''' – Encouraging collaboration between geophysicists, cosmologists, and planetary scientists to explore whether planetary mass evolution can be coherently linked with astrophysical influx, orbital behavior, or thermodynamic energy flows.

* '''Theory Contributions and Dialogue''' – Welcoming new contributions via the Talk page or email (see 5.3), including refined versions of existing theories or hybrid proposals that draw from multiple traditions.

* '''Educational Use and Critical Inquiry''' – Making this chapter a foundation for open discussion, coursework, or critical reading groups focused on understanding the evidence and assumptions underlying planetary evolution.

While institutional resistance to expansion-based or influx-driven models may persist, open-access publishing and AI-assisted review now allow for broader scrutiny and comparison. We encourage readers to explore the models presented here with a critical yet open mind and to consider how future geological discoveries may challenge prevailing frameworks.

This concludes Chapter 5. The next chapter will shift focus to biological and paleontological evidence for planetary evolution.

== 6.1 Purpose – Biological and Paleontological Clues ==

The purpose of this chapter is to explore how biological and paleontological evidence—traditionally associated with evolutionary biology and Earth history—can also provide valuable insights for evaluating cosmological theories. While most cosmological models are constructed from astronomical observations and physical laws, the long-term patterns of life on Earth may reflect deeper planetary and cosmic influences.

Life does not evolve in isolation. It depends on planetary conditions shaped by cosmological processes: the stability of Earth’s orbit, solar radiation levels, planetary mass and gravity, atmospheric composition, and even plate tectonics. Likewise, fossil records reveal striking transitions—such as mass extinctions and bursts of biodiversity—that may correspond to larger planetary or cosmic events.

This chapter invites contributors to examine how such clues may support or challenge competing cosmological frameworks. For example:
* The theory of Earth Expansion suggests a changing planetary radius that could influence evolution and extinction patterns.
* Mainstream astrophysics connects biological timelines to solar evolution and asteroid impacts.
* Non-mainstream theories—such as Cosmic Influx Theory—propose directional energy flows that might influence planetary life indirectly through geophysical changes.

By including biological and fossil-based data, we broaden the evidential base for cosmological inquiry and invite interdisciplinary reflection on the origins, transformations, and long-term stability of life in a cosmic context.


== 6.2 Scope – Mainstream and Non-mainstream Theories ==

This chapter includes both mainstream and non-mainstream theories that offer explanations linking biological and paleontological clues to broader cosmological processes.

Mainstream scientific perspectives generally accept that life on Earth is deeply influenced by astronomical and planetary factors:
* **Astrophysical models** explain how solar evolution affects planetary climates and habitability zones.
* **Impact theories** (e.g., Chicxulub asteroid) connect mass extinctions to cosmic events.
* **Plate tectonics and continental drift** shape ecosystems, evolution, and extinction patterns over geological time.

However, growing evidence—including rapid climate shifts, tectonic anomalies, and sudden biodiversity changes—has also stimulated interest in alternative frameworks that integrate Earth’s biological history into larger cosmic dynamics.

This chapter therefore also considers non-mainstream perspectives such as:
* **Earth Expansion Theories**, which posit that changes in Earth’s size and gravity could affect species evolution and extinction timing.
* **Directed Panspermia**, which explores whether life arrived from or was influenced by external cosmic agents.
* **Spiral Cosmology**, which links galactic motion to cycles of evolution and extinction.
* **Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)**, which proposes a continuous directional influx of energy or particles from space. In CIT, this influx contributes not only to gravity but also to increasing planetary mass and internal energy—potentially influencing geological activity and, indirectly, evolutionary pressures and extinction events.

The scope of this chapter is thus interdisciplinary and inclusive. It encourages readers and contributors to explore the potential interplay between life’s history on Earth and the larger processes governing planetary and cosmic evolution. All theories must propose a link—direct or indirect—between biological/paleontological patterns and cosmological mechanisms.


== 6.3 How to Contribute a Theory ==

Researchers and contributors are welcome to propose additional theories that relate biological evolution and fossil records to planetary or cosmological models. Submissions may include observational insights, mathematical models, conceptual frameworks, or hybrid approaches.

You can contribute in either of the following ways:

* Post directly on the Talk page of this chapter  
* Or email your proposal to: aitheroymapping@gmail.com  

All submitted theories will be added to the mapping and evaluated using the shared criteria defined in Chapter 1.3: Evaluation Criteria. We encourage both mainstream and non-mainstream contributors to join this open effort to compare and improve our understanding of Biological and Paleontological Clues in relation to cosmological theories.


== 6.4 Theory Mapping Table ==

This table presents a comparative overview of theories that attempt to link biological and paleontological clues to planetary or cosmological models. Both mainstream and non-mainstream approaches are included. Each theory is followed by a reference line shaded identically to the theory row, maintaining visual pairing for clarity.

== 6.5 Evaluation Criteria and Comparative Overview ==

The biological and paleontological theories presented in this chapter will be evaluated using the shared set of criteria defined in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_1:_Introduction_and_Evaluation_Criteria#1.3:_List_of_Evaluation_Criteria|Chapter 1.3: List of Evaluation Criteria]]. These criteria include:

* '''Empirical Adequacy''' – alignment with fossil records, evolutionary timelines, and observed extinction patterns  
* '''Internal Consistency''' – logical structure, coherence between biological and cosmological mechanisms  
* '''Explanatory Power''' – ability to account for major paleontological events (e.g., mass extinctions, biodiversity surges)  
* '''Predictive Power''' – capacity to forecast or retrospectively predict biological transitions based on planetary or cosmic dynamics  
* '''Simplicity and Elegance''' – clarity, parsimony, and avoidance of unnecessary complexity  
* '''Compatibility with Other Theories''' – integration potential with broader cosmological, geological, and planetary models  
* '''Falsifiability and Openness to Testing''' – presence of testable claims or future research possibilities  

The paragraphs below summarize how each theory relates to these criteria. A more detailed AI-supported analysis follows in Section 6.6.

'''Darwinian Evolution''' is a well-established theory with high empirical adequacy, supported by extensive fossil data and genetic evidence. It offers strong internal consistency and elegant simplicity. However, its explanatory and predictive power regarding abrupt mass extinctions and global biodiversity cycles is limited unless supplemented by external triggers (e.g., asteroid impacts or climate change). It is highly compatible with geophysical and astronomical models and remains broadly falsifiable through comparative biology and paleogenetics.

'''Earth Expansion Theory''' offers an alternative geodynamic explanation for biogeographic shifts, gigantism in ancient fauna, and habitat fragmentation. While empirical support remains debated, the theory has explanatory value when applied to fossil distribution and morphological adaptation. Its internal consistency depends on the assumption of mass gain, making it partially speculative. It complements Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT) and is somewhat testable through reconstructions of paleogravity and crustal data.

'''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' introduces a novel cosmological mechanism — a directional influx of energy — that affects planetary mass, heat, and internal dynamics. CIT links this influx to tectonic activity, atmospheric development, and by extension, biological evolution and extinction. It is internally coherent and parsimonious. While its empirical adequacy in biology is still exploratory, it gains relevance by aligning with geological events that coincide with biodiversity shifts. CIT is falsifiable through the study of planetary heat flow, expansion rates, and biosphere-geosphere interactions.

'''Punctuated Equilibrium''' addresses the pattern of evolutionary stasis interrupted by rapid change, aligning well with fossil records. Its internal logic is clear and supported by empirical evidence. However, its cosmological connection is undefined — it typically assumes geological or environmental causes for the &quot;punctuations.&quot; It is conceptually simple and integrates smoothly with mainstream evolutionary models but offers limited predictive power and testability beyond fossil pattern analysis.

'''Milankovitch Cycles''' explain periodic biodiversity changes driven by orbital variations affecting Earth’s climate. This model is highly empirical and predictive, with clear astronomical foundations. It successfully accounts for ice-age-driven migration and extinctions and integrates seamlessly with evolutionary and geological theories. Its simplicity and testability make it a strong framework for understanding Quaternary biological trends.

'''Galactic Biodiversity Cycle''' suggests that long-term biodiversity fluctuations follow the solar system’s motion through the galactic plane. This hypothesis explains a proposed 62-million-year cycle in biodiversity. While intriguing, it depends on still-developing evidence for galactic timing and mechanisms. It has strong explanatory potential and could align with Spiral Cosmology or CIT but is moderately testable at present.

'''Directed Panspermia''' proposes an extraterrestrial or engineered origin of life. It offers high explanatory power for the early appearance of complex life but lacks predictive capability for later evolutionary stages. It is logically consistent within its scope but remains speculative and difficult to falsify. Its compatibility with other cosmologies is open but indirect.

'''Spiral Cosmology''' integrates biological cycles with large-scale cosmic dynamics, including structured waves or fields. It proposes that life evolves in harmony with rhythmic cosmological flows. While its biological component remains conceptual, it shows high internal coherence and explanatory power for periodic extinction and renewal. It is compatible with Earth Expansion and CIT and may become testable through alignment with geological and extinction data.

'''Geomagnetic Reversal Hypothesis''' links mass extinctions to changes in Earth’s magnetic field, affecting radiation exposure and ecological stability. It has some empirical support from fossil and magnetic records. Its internal logic is moderate, with some speculative assumptions about causality. It offers a testable framework through paleomagnetic data and extinction timing.

'''Plasma Cosmology (Biological Interpretation)''' connects early biological change with electromagnetic events in space. Its biological basis relies heavily on reinterpretation of myths, catastrophism, and visual sky phenomena. While internally consistent within its symbolic logic, it lacks strong empirical adequacy in biology. It is difficult to test in scientific terms, but it provides an unconventional framework for interpreting rapid biocultural shifts.

'''Anthropic Cosmology''' does not propose specific biological mechanisms but offers a philosophical reflection on why life-friendly constants and conditions exist. It is internally coherent but non-predictive and non-falsifiable. While compatible with nearly all theories, it operates more as a boundary condition than as a biological explanation.


=== '''6.6 – AI Evaluation Based on Shared Criteria''' ===

This subsection presents an AI-assisted comparative evaluation of biological and paleontological theories based on the shared set of criteria defined in Chapter 1.3. The goal is to identify strengths and limitations in how each theory addresses the evolutionary record, extinction patterns, and their possible connection to planetary or cosmic processes.

This qualitative synthesis draws from published literature, fossil evidence, planetary models, and conceptual consistency across theories.

==== '''Empirical Adequacy''' ====
'''Darwinian Evolution''' shows strong alignment with the fossil record, genetic data, and observed biodiversity transitions.  
'''Milankovitch Cycles''' are well-supported by paleoclimatic and faunal data from glacial-interglacial periods.  
'''Punctuated Equilibrium''' matches well with fossil evidence showing evolutionary stasis and sudden speciation.  
'''Galactic Biodiversity Cycle''' has partial support from observed periodicity in biodiversity but needs further verification.  
'''Earth Expansion''' and '''CIT''' align moderately with size trends in fossils, tectonic records, and timing of major shifts, though not yet widely accepted.  
'''Spiral Cosmology''' and '''Geomagnetic Reversal''' are consistent with episodic extinction records but require more correlation with fossil timing.  
'''Plasma Cosmology''' and '''Directed Panspermia''' lack direct empirical support in paleontology.  
'''Anthropic Cosmology''' is philosophical and does not engage with fossil data.

==== '''Internal Consistency''' ====
'''Darwinian Evolution''', '''Milankovitch Cycles''', and '''Punctuated Equilibrium''' are logically structured and widely accepted.

== 6.7 Helicopter View – Scientific Reception and Emerging Tensions ==

Theories that link biological and paleontological data to cosmological or planetary dynamics operate at the intersection of multiple scientific domains. This multidisciplinary position creates both opportunities and tensions within the broader scientific landscape.

Mainstream theories such as '''Darwinian Evolution''', '''Punctuated Equilibrium''', and '''Milankovitch Cycles''' are firmly embedded in the academic consensus. They benefit from robust empirical datasets, widespread institutional support, and established explanatory frameworks. However, they often remain siloed within evolutionary biology or climate science and rarely engage with cosmological perspectives. This creates a blind spot in linking planetary evolution to long-term cosmic cycles.

Alternative models such as the '''Galactic Biodiversity Cycle''', '''Spiral Cosmology''', and '''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' attempt to bridge that gap by embedding biological evolution within larger cosmic structures or energy dynamics. These frameworks challenge conventional timelines and causality, often facing skepticism due to their speculative or integrative nature. While not rejected outright, they are typically excluded from mainstream research funding and journals unless framed cautiously.

Theories like '''Earth Expansion''' and '''Plasma Cosmology''' face more pronounced resistance. Despite offering explanatory models for fossil distribution and extinction patterns, they challenge core geophysical assumptions and are often dismissed as fringe. Nonetheless, recent geological data and renewed interest in Earth’s deep-time history have created space for limited re-evaluation of such ideas.

Finally, conceptual frameworks like '''Directed Panspermia''' and '''Anthropic Cosmology''' are received with ambivalence. They do not easily integrate into empirical research programs but continue to provoke philosophical and theoretical interest—especially regarding life’s origins and the conditions necessary for biological complexity.

In summary, there is an increasing recognition that life on Earth cannot be fully understood in isolation from the planet’s geodynamic context and possibly even from its cosmic environment. However, the institutional and disciplinary boundaries of science still limit serious engagement with non-mainstream models. Tensions persist between the desire for interdisciplinary synthesis and the need to protect methodological rigor. The challenge is to maintain open inquiry while demanding conceptual clarity and empirical grounding.


== 6.8 Next Steps ==

This chapter has outlined a wide range of theories that attempt to connect biological and paleontological clues to planetary and cosmological processes. The mapping and evaluation provide a foundation for interdisciplinary dialogue, bridging evolutionary biology, geology, and cosmology.

Future contributions may include additional theories, updated datasets (e.g., biodiversity cycles, extinction timelines), or new interdisciplinary models. Researchers are encouraged to refine existing frameworks or introduce novel mechanisms that link life’s history on Earth to cosmic dynamics.

We invite further participation through the Talk page or by email submission. All contributions will be evaluated using the shared criteria defined in Chapter 1.3 to ensure clarity and comparability across chapters.

=== '''7.1 – Purpose – Overview Cosmological Parameters and Universal Constants''' ===

This subsection introduces the key cosmological parameters and universal constants that underpin modern models of the universe. These values are foundational for describing the large-scale structure, expansion history, and composition of the cosmos. By defining and constraining these constants, researchers are able to test, compare, and refine competing cosmological theories.

The most widely used parameters include:

'''Hubble Constant (H₀)''' – The current rate of cosmic expansion, typically expressed in km/s/Mpc. It plays a central role in determining the age and scale of the universe.

'''Matter Density Parameter (Ωₘ)''' – The fraction of the critical density contributed by all forms of matter (baryonic and dark matter).

'''Dark Energy Density Parameter (Ω_Λ)''' – The fraction of the critical density attributed to dark energy, often associated with the cosmological constant (Λ).

'''Spectral Index (nₛ)''' – Characterizes the scale dependence of primordial density fluctuations.

'''Amplitude of Scalar Fluctuations (Aₛ)''' – Sets the overall level of fluctuations in the early universe, which seeded the formation of galaxies and clusters.

'''Optical Depth (τ)''' – Relates to the reionization history of the universe, affecting how the cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons have been scattered.

'''σ₈''' – A measure of the clustering strength of matter on scales of 8 h⁻¹ Mpc, used in large-scale structure studies.

These parameters are complemented by a set of universal physical constants that appear across all physical theories:

'''Gravitational Constant (G)'''

'''Speed of Light (c)'''

'''Planck’s Constant (h)'''

'''Boltzmann Constant (k_B)'''

'''Cosmological Constant (Λ)''' – interpreted as vacuum energy or dark energy density

'''Fine-Structure Constant (α)'''

Together, these parameters serve as the empirical backbone for cosmological models, allowing them to be calibrated against observational data. Most mainstream models—such as the ΛCDM model—use a minimal set of six to seven parameters, yet tensions persist between different measurement techniques. For example, the value of H₀ inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) differs significantly from values measured using Type Ia supernovae, leading to the well-known '''Hubble tension'''. Similarly, discrepancies in measurements of σ₈ suggest the possibility of unknown physical processes or the need for alternative frameworks.

This chapter evaluates how different cosmological theories define, derive, or reinterpret these parameters. It also considers whether a theory proposes a new universal constant, modifies existing ones, or offers an explanation for observed tensions. The role of these constants in the internal logic and predictive success of a theory is an essential component of the comparative evaluation.

=== '''7.2 – Scope – Mainstream and Non-mainstream Theories''' ===

This subsection outlines the scope of Chapter 7 in terms of the cosmological theories being considered, with specific attention to how each theory engages with cosmological parameters and universal constants. Both mainstream and non-mainstream theories are included in the evaluation to ensure a broad, inclusive, and critically informed comparison.

==== '''Mainstream Cosmological Frameworks''' ====

Mainstream cosmological models are those widely accepted within the current scientific consensus and supported by large-scale observational programs such as the Planck satellite, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The primary framework is the:

'''ΛCDM Model (Lambda Cold Dark Matter)'''
This model is based on general relativity and assumes a universe dominated by cold dark matter (CDM) and a cosmological constant (Λ) representing dark energy. It uses a standard set of six parameters to fit observational data:
– H₀ (Hubble constant)
– Ωₘ (matter density)
– Ω_Λ (dark energy density)
– nₛ (spectral index)
– Aₛ (amplitude of fluctuations)
– τ (optical depth)

ΛCDM has achieved notable empirical success, including accurate fits to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum and the large-scale distribution of galaxies. However, it faces unresolved tensions such as the disparity in H₀ values derived from early- and late-universe measurements, and differences in predicted versus observed values of σ₈ (matter clustering amplitude).

Other general relativity–based extensions or modifications, such as quintessence models (dynamic dark energy), modified gravity (e.g., f(R) theories), or models invoking additional neutrino species, are sometimes treated as extensions of ΛCDM rather than fundamentally separate theories.

==== '''Non-Mainstream and Emerging Theories''' ====

This chapter also includes theories that are not currently part of mainstream consensus but that offer new approaches to cosmological constants or parameter derivation. These may include:

'''Alternative Gravity Theories''' – including MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics), TeVeS, conformal gravity, and entropic gravity. These models often aim to explain galactic rotation curves or cosmological structure without invoking dark matter.

'''Emergent and Flow-based Models''' – including theories where cosmic structure arises from energy influxes or universal flows (e.g., Cosmic Influx Theory, Spiral Cosmology). These models may propose new constants (such as influx-based scaling parameters) or reinterpret standard ones.

'''Continuous Creation or Steady-State Frameworks''' – These posit a continuous generation of matter or energy, potentially affecting the interpretation of Hubble expansion, cosmic microwave background, and the age of the universe.

'''Topological or Geometric Reinterpretations''' – Some proposals modify the dimensionality or topology of space-time itself, redefining how constants such as G or c emerge from underlying structures.

==== '''Comparative Perspective''' ====

By evaluating both mainstream and non-mainstream approaches on equal terms, this chapter aims to provide a comparative framework grounded in empirical adequacy, predictive capacity, and internal coherence. The inclusion of non-standard models is not intended to imply equivalence of scientific status, but rather to highlight the diversity of ideas that reinterpret or challenge conventional uses of cosmological parameters.

The theories evaluated here must define how they handle:

The derivation or reinterpretation of cosmological parameters

The role and meaning of universal constants in their framework

Their position relative to known tensions (e.g., Hubble tension, σ₈ tension)

This scope ensures that all models are critically evaluated using the same criteria, while allowing room for genuinely novel approaches to cosmology.

== '''7.3 How to Contribute a Theory ''' ==

Researchers and contributors are welcome to propose additional theories that relate biological evolution and fossil records to planetary or cosmological models. Submissions may include observational insights, mathematical models, conceptual frameworks, or hybrid approaches.

=== '''7.4 – Theory Mapping Table''' ===

This table presents a structured comparison of diverse cosmological theories based on how they define or reinterpret key cosmological parameters and universal constants. The table includes both mainstream and non-mainstream paradigms, encouraging open comparative analysis grounded in scientific rigor.

=== '''7.5 Evaluation Criteria and Comparative Overview''' ===

The cosmological theories presented in this chapter are evaluated using the shared set of criteria defined in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_1:_Introduction_and_Evaluation_Criteria#1.3:_List_of_Evaluation_Criteria|Chapter 1.3: List of Evaluation Criteria]]. These criteria are here specifically applied to how each theory handles cosmological parameters and universal constants.

'''Empirical Adequacy''' – alignment with observed values of key parameters (H₀, Ωₘ, Λ, σ₈, etc.) and data from CMB, supernovae, BAO, and large-scale structure

'''Internal Consistency''' – logical and mathematical coherence in the derivation or treatment of constants

'''Explanatory Power''' – ability to explain why constants have their observed values, not just fit them

'''Predictive Power''' – capacity to forecast future or unmeasured parameter values or resolve current tensions (e.g., Hubble tension)

'''Simplicity and Elegance''' – conceptual parsimony and avoidance of unnecessary parameters or fine-tuning

'''Compatibility with Other Theories''' – ability to integrate with broader physical theories and cosmological observations

'''Falsifiability and Openness to Testing''' – presence of testable predictions or measurable consequences

The paragraphs below summarize how each theory relates to these criteria. A more detailed AI-supported analysis follows in Section 7.6.

'''ΛCDM (Standard Model)''' is strongly supported by observational data and has high empirical adequacy. Its internal consistency and predictive power are well-established, especially in modeling the CMB and galaxy distributions. However, it treats many constants as fitted parameters without deeper explanation. The model faces known tensions in H₀ and σ₈, which challenge its completeness. It is conceptually simple and highly compatible with general relativity and particle physics, and its parameters are open to observational testing.

'''Modified Gravity (f(R))''' introduces geometric generalizations of Einstein's equations, potentially explaining dark energy and dark matter effects through curvature. While it can match observational data under certain models, its parameter space is broad, and empirical adequacy depends heavily on specific formulations. It offers improved explanatory potential over ΛCDM in some cases, but at the cost of increased mathematical complexity. Some forms are testable via gravitational lensing, structure formation, and precision cosmology.

'''MOND / TeVeS''' modifies Newtonian dynamics to eliminate the need for dark matter at galactic scales. It reproduces galactic rotation curves successfully but struggles at cosmological scales. Its internal logic is consistent within its regime of applicability, and it introduces the acceleration scale a₀ as a new constant. Predictive power is good for galaxies but limited for early-universe physics. MOND-type theories are testable but not easily reconciled with CMB data or structure formation.

'''Emergent Gravity (Verlinde)''' reinterprets gravity as an emergent entropic force arising from information-theoretic principles. It provides an elegant and conceptually innovative explanation of dark energy and inertia, but its empirical adequacy is still under investigation. It offers strong explanatory power in principle but lacks complete predictive frameworks for all cosmological parameters. The theory is testable in principle through deviations from Newtonian gravity in specific regimes, though experimental confirmation remains elusive.

'''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' derives the Hubble constant from influx-based relationships involving VRMS and the relativistic factor (γ−1), matching Planck-derived values. While some standard parameters (e.g., Ω values) are not explicitly defined, CIT offers strong internal consistency and explanatory power for G and H₀ via fundamental influx mechanisms. Its simplicity and dimensional coherence are strengths, though full cosmological compatibility and falsifiability require further development. It aligns with observed tensions and provides a novel conceptual bridge between gravity, expansion, and mass generation.

'''Spiral Cosmology''' explains cosmic structure and evolution through geometrically spiraling flows of energy and matter. It reinterprets constants as emergent from dynamic motion patterns rather than fixed inputs. Its empirical alignment is currently qualitative, but it provides strong explanatory power for structure formation and symmetry. Its conceptual elegance appeals to analogies in electromagnetic and wave theory. Predictive models and testable consequences remain a work in progress, but the theory is logically consistent within its internal framework.

'''Topological Field Framework (Hall)''' proposes that fundamental constants emerge from field topology in higher-dimensional configurations. It offers potential explanations for G, c, and Λ as emergent from geometry rather than fixed inputs. While still under development, it has strong internal logic and high explanatory ambition. Its empirical adequacy depends on deriving measurable predictions. Its compatibility with both general relativity and quantum geometry gives it interdisciplinary appeal, though full falsifiability is pending.

'''Conformal Gravity (Mannheim–Kazanas)''' eliminates the need for dark matter by modifying gravitational equations with conformal symmetry. It fits galactic rotation curves and some lensing observations without introducing new particles. Its predictive power is good at galactic scales, and it offers a deep geometric motivation for its equations. However, it faces challenges matching CMB and early-universe data. The theory is testable and internally consistent, but its cosmological compatibility is debated.

'''Quasi-Steady State Cosmology (QSSC)''' offers a cyclic, matter-generating model that modifies standard expansion assumptions. It reproduces redshift data through a non-Big Bang framework and introduces a creation field (C) as a new constant. Its empirical adequacy is mixed, and its compatibility with observed element abundances and CMB is questioned. However, its explanatory ambition and falsifiability through periodic structure and matter creation make it a valuable alternative perspective.

'''Dynamic Universe (Tuomo Suntola)''' proposes a zero-energy balance model in which cosmic parameters evolve from a unified dynamic geometry. It predicts H₀ and other constants from time-dependent curvature rather than fixed values. The theory is internally consistent, compact, and provides strong explanatory value for the origin of physical laws. Its compatibility with relativity is nonstandard but mathematically consistent. Observational tests are possible through detailed cosmological reconstructions and time-scaling relationships.

=== '''7.6 – AI Evaluation Based on Shared Criteria''' ===

This subsection presents an AI-assisted comparative evaluation of cosmological theories, based on the shared criteria defined in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_1:_Introduction_and_Evaluation_Criteria#1.3:_List_of_Evaluation_Criteria|Chapter 1.3: List of Evaluation Criteria]]. The goal is to clarify how each theory treats the fundamental cosmological parameters and universal constants discussed in this chapter. The evaluation highlights internal coherence, empirical alignment, explanatory ambition, and potential testability.

No star ratings are assigned here. Instead, each theory is qualitatively assessed across the criteria through short descriptive paragraphs.

'''ΛCDM (Standard Model)''' offers strong empirical alignment with CMB, supernova, and large-scale structure data. Its internal structure is based on general relativity and well-developed mathematical models, making it logically robust. However, it provides limited explanation for the specific values of constants such as H₀ or Λ, which are treated as empirical inputs. Despite this, it demonstrates predictive success across multiple observations. The model is conceptually economical, relying on a minimal parameter set, and is deeply integrated into the broader framework of modern physics. Known tensions (e.g., H₀ discrepancy) invite refinement or reinterpretation but do not undermine its overall compatibility with data. It remains broadly testable through increasingly precise cosmological measurements.

'''Modified Gravity (f(R))''' theories attempt to explain dark energy and acceleration through extensions of the Einstein-Hilbert action. They offer a reinterpretation of cosmic parameters in terms of curvature dynamics rather than exotic energy components. These models vary widely in structure and observational fit, depending on the chosen function f(R), but many reproduce key cosmological features. Their mathematical framework is internally consistent, and they contribute meaningfully to the debate on the nature of gravity. While their explanatory power is promising, some formulations require additional parameters or fine-tuning. Compatibility with structure formation data and gravitational lensing tests remains an important area for empirical evaluation.

'''MOND / TeVeS''' seeks to account for galactic rotation curves without invoking dark matter, introducing a critical acceleration scale as a new constant. It performs very well at galactic scales, offering a direct fit to rotation data. However, it faces challenges when applied to cosmological phenomena such as the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure. The theory’s internal dynamics are logically constructed and mathematically consistent within their range of application. Its predictive capacity is constrained to specific regimes, and it introduces conceptual simplicity with minimal new constants. Empirical tensions with high-redshift data suggest the need for further development or hybrid models.

'''Emergent Gravity (Verlinde)''' offers an innovative theoretical framework in which gravity and inertia emerge from entropic and information-theoretic principles. This model reframes fundamental constants as emergent properties of underlying entropy distributions. While its internal structure is elegant and conceptually coherent, empirical validation remains limited. It has provided tentative fits to certain lensing effects, but full cosmological modeling is still in development. The theory’s explanatory reach is broad, particularly in redefining Λ and inertia, though specific quantitative predictions are still rare. It is testable in principle, and future observational probes could refine or challenge its foundational assumptions.

'''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' proposes that the gravitational constant and Hubble parameter derive from a continuous influx of energy into matter. It uses the relativistic factor (γ−1) and a universal root mean square velocity (VRMS) to derive G and H₀, aligning with Planck observations without parameter fitting. The theory is internally consistent and offers strong explanatory coherence for the emergence of constants. Although it does not define all standard cosmological parameters, its introduction of scaling constants (κ and κ_CIT) provides a novel interpretation of structure and mass-energy evolution. The theory is open to falsification through predictions on orbital dynamics and preferred planetary distances, and invites new observational research.

'''Spiral Cosmology''' describes the evolution of the universe through organized spiraling flows of energy and matter. It offers a dynamic interpretation of cosmic structure and attempts to derive constants from the geometry of spiral motion. Its explanatory framework is creative and unified, though primarily qualitative at this stage. Observational alignment is still under development, and quantitative predictions remain limited. The model maintains internal coherence and offers potential compatibility with both geometric and wave-based models of the universe. It presents a unique lens on cosmic evolution and may be tested through pattern recognition in galactic distributions and background structure.

'''Topological Field Framework (Hall)''' attempts to explain the emergence of physical constants and structure from the topology of underlying fields. It replaces fixed constants with dynamic relationships determined by higher-dimensional field configurations. This theory is conceptually ambitious and mathematically coherent within its proposed framework. While it currently lacks detailed empirical predictions, it offers a strong explanatory model for the origin of constants such as G and c. The framework’s future success depends on its ability to generate testable consequences and interface with observational cosmology.

'''Conformal Gravity (Mannheim–Kazanas)''' modifies general relativity using conformal symmetry and has had success fitting galactic rotation curves without dark matter. It interprets cosmic acceleration and gravitational potentials without requiring Λ or exotic matter components. The theory’s structure is mathematically rigorous and geometrically elegant. While it fits some astrophysical data well, its compatibility with the CMB and early universe remains under scrutiny. It provides a deeper explanation for gravitational behavior, but requires additional work to extend to full cosmological predictions. It is empirically testable and offers a valuable challenge to conventional dark matter models.

'''Quasi-Steady State Cosmology (QSSC)''' revives and modifies the steady-state model by introducing a continuous creation field (C-field) and cyclic cosmological evolution. It offers an alternative interpretation of redshift and cosmic expansion that challenges the Big Bang model. The theory aligns with some observational patterns but struggles to reproduce others, such as the CMB spectrum and light element abundances. Its internal logic is self-consistent within its paradigm and introduces an original approach to matter generation and cosmic cycles. QSSC provides testable ideas, particularly related to periodicity and structural evolution, but remains outside the mainstream due to its divergence from accepted data interpretations.

'''Dynamic Universe (Tuomo Suntola)''' introduces a zero-energy cosmological model in which space, time, and matter evolve from a dynamically balanced 4-sphere geometry. This framework offers a coherent mathematical structure with an explicit derivation of H₀ and other constants from curvature and motion, rather than treating them as empirical inputs. It avoids the need for inflation, dark energy, or dark matter by reinterpreting cosmic expansion. The model’s internal consistency is strong, and its elegance lies in its unified geometric logic. Testable consequences emerge through its time-scaling formulations and reconstruction of historical cosmic dynamics, providing a fertile ground for further research.

=== '''7.7 – Helicopter View – Scientific Reception and Emerging Tensions''' ===

This subsection offers a broader reflection on how the theories presented in Chapter 7 are received within the scientific community, and how ongoing observational tensions and theoretical gaps have shaped the landscape of cosmological research. While the '''ΛCDM model''' remains the dominant paradigm, persistent anomalies and the rise of innovative frameworks have stimulated growing interest in alternatives that offer novel interpretations of cosmological parameters and universal constants.

The '''ΛCDM model''' has achieved widespread acceptance due to its empirical success in matching high-precision data from the Planck satellite, baryon acoustic oscillations, and Type Ia supernovae. Its internal consistency and predictive utility are widely recognized. However, the model also leaves several foundational questions unresolved. Chief among these is the origin and nature of the '''cosmological constant (Λ)''', which contributes over 68% of the energy density of the universe and yet remains theoretically unexplained. Furthermore, the persistent disparity between early-universe (CMB-derived) and late-universe (distance ladder) measurements of the '''Hubble constant (H₀)''' has become known as the '''&quot;Hubble tension&quot;'''. Similar discrepancies related to the amplitude of matter clustering ('''σ₈''') have raised additional concerns about potential missing physics.

These tensions have opened a window for the exploration of '''non-mainstream cosmologies'''. '''Modified gravity models''' such as '''f(R)''' and '''conformal gravity''' offer geometric alternatives that attempt to reproduce cosmic acceleration and structure formation without invoking dark energy or dark matter. While these models often require additional functions or parameters, they are gaining attention for their potential to resolve observational anomalies through new mathematical structures.

Theories such as '''MOND''', '''TeVeS''', and '''emergent gravity''' have had mixed receptions. '''MOND''' has provided compelling fits to galactic rotation curves but lacks a fully developed cosmological extension. '''Emergent gravity''' introduces a radically different ontology—treating gravity and inertia as statistical phenomena—which appeals to theorists seeking deeper unifying principles. Nonetheless, these theories face strong skepticism from mainstream cosmologists due to limited empirical validation and difficulties in reproducing CMB anisotropies and structure growth data.

The inclusion of conceptual models such as '''Spiral Cosmology''', '''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''', and the '''Dynamic Universe''' represents a growing movement within the scientific periphery to explore frameworks that derive cosmological constants from deeper principles—be they geometric, energetic, or topological. These models often operate outside the dominant institutional research programs, yet they reflect a longstanding scientific aspiration: to understand not only how the universe behaves, but why the constants that govern its behavior take the values they do.

Institutional acceptance of these models varies widely. Peer-reviewed publications remain limited for some, while others circulate primarily via academic repositories, conferences, or platforms such as '''Zenodo''', '''ResearchGate''', or '''Wikiversity'''. This reflects a broader tension in the scientific ecosystem: while mainstream paradigms are highly productive and empirically successful, they may not fully accommodate unconventional but potentially insightful hypotheses.

In this context, the '''AI-assisted comparative framework''' applied in this chapter aims to foster transparent, criteria-based evaluation of both accepted and emerging theories. By focusing on '''empirical adequacy''', '''internal logic''', and '''explanatory potential'''—rather than academic consensus alone—this approach supports a more inclusive and methodologically consistent cosmological discourse. 

=== '''7.8 – Next Steps''' ===

This final subsection outlines recommended next steps for researchers, contributors, and interested readers following the comparative evaluation of cosmological parameters and universal constants in Chapter 7.

First, contributors are encouraged to refine or expand the theory entries presented here by improving clarity, adding new references, or providing updated observational data. As ongoing missions such as the '''James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)''', '''Euclid''', and the '''Vera Rubin Observatory''' generate increasingly precise cosmological measurements, all models—mainstream and alternative—will face new opportunities for testing and validation. Particular attention should be paid to how each theory addresses current tensions, including the '''Hubble tension''', the '''σ₈ clustering discrepancy''', and the unexplained nature of '''Λ (dark energy)'''.

Second, AI-assisted comparative tools may be developed further to support large-scale cross-analysis of parameter predictions and internal consistencies. This could include algorithmic comparison of theory-derived parameter sets against datasets from Planck, SDSS, DESI, or gravitational wave observatories. Readers or institutions with expertise in computational cosmology are invited to explore these possibilities and report outcomes.

Third, alternative frameworks that derive constants from first principles—whether geometric, entropic, influx-based, or topological—may benefit from collaborative dialogue. Theories such as '''CIT''', '''Spiral Cosmology''', and the '''Dynamic Universe''' propose unorthodox but structured ways to reinterpret physical constants. These models can be further explored, modified, or combined in search of converging predictions.

=== '''7.1 – Purpose – Overview Cosmological Parameters and Universal Constants''' ===

This subsection introduces the key cosmological parameters and universal constants that underpin modern models of the universe. These values are foundational for describing the large-scale structure, expansion history, and composition of the cosmos. By defining and constraining these constants, researchers are able to test, compare, and refine competing cosmological theories.

The most widely used parameters include:

'''Hubble Constant (H₀)''' – The current rate of cosmic expansion, typically expressed in km/s/Mpc. It plays a central role in determining the age and scale of the universe.

'''Matter Density Parameter (Ωₘ)''' – The fraction of the critical density contributed by all forms of matter (baryonic and dark matter).

'''Dark Energy Density Parameter (Ω_Λ)''' – The fraction of the critical density attributed to dark energy, often associated with the cosmological constant (Λ).

'''Spectral Index (nₛ)''' – Characterizes the scale dependence of primordial density fluctuations.

'''Amplitude of Scalar Fluctuations (Aₛ)''' – Sets the overall level of fluctuations in the early universe, which seeded the formation of galaxies and clusters.

'''Optical Depth (τ)''' – Relates to the reionization history of the universe, affecting how the cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons have been scattered.

'''σ₈''' – A measure of the clustering strength of matter on scales of 8 h⁻¹ Mpc, used in large-scale structure studies.

These parameters are complemented by a set of universal physical constants that appear across all physical theories:

'''Gravitational Constant (G)'''

'''Speed of Light (c)'''

'''Planck’s Constant (h)'''

'''Boltzmann Constant (k_B)'''

'''Cosmological Constant (Λ)''' – interpreted as vacuum energy or dark energy density

'''Fine-Structure Constant (α)'''

Together, these parameters serve as the empirical backbone for cosmological models, allowing them to be calibrated against observational data. Most mainstream models—such as the ΛCDM model—use a minimal set of six to seven parameters, yet tensions persist between different measurement techniques. For example, the value of H₀ inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) differs significantly from values measured using Type Ia supernovae, leading to the well-known '''Hubble tension'''. Similarly, discrepancies in measurements of σ₈ suggest the possibility of unknown physical processes or the need for alternative frameworks.

This chapter evaluates how different cosmological theories define, derive, or reinterpret these parameters. It also considers whether a theory proposes a new universal constant, modifies existing ones, or offers an explanation for observed tensions. The role of these constants in the internal logic and predictive success of a theory is an essential component of the comparative evaluation.

=== '''7.2 – Scope – Mainstream and Non-mainstream Theories''' ===

This subsection outlines the scope of Chapter 7 in terms of the cosmological theories being considered, with specific attention to how each theory engages with cosmological parameters and universal constants. Both mainstream and non-mainstream theories are included in the evaluation to ensure a broad, inclusive, and critically informed comparison.

==== '''Mainstream Cosmological Frameworks''' ====

Mainstream cosmological models are those widely accepted within the current scientific consensus and supported by large-scale observational programs such as the Planck satellite, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The primary framework is the:

'''ΛCDM Model (Lambda Cold Dark Matter)'''
This model is based on general relativity and assumes a universe dominated by cold dark matter (CDM) and a cosmological constant (Λ) representing dark energy. It uses a standard set of six parameters to fit observational data:
– H₀ (Hubble constant)
– Ωₘ (matter density)
– Ω_Λ (dark energy density)
– nₛ (spectral index)
– Aₛ (amplitude of fluctuations)
– τ (optical depth)

ΛCDM has achieved notable empirical success, including accurate fits to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum and the large-scale distribution of galaxies. However, it faces unresolved tensions such as the disparity in H₀ values derived from early- and late-universe measurements, and differences in predicted versus observed values of σ₈ (matter clustering amplitude).

Other general relativity–based extensions or modifications, such as quintessence models (dynamic dark energy), modified gravity (e.g., f(R) theories), or models invoking additional neutrino species, are sometimes treated as extensions of ΛCDM rather than fundamentally separate theories.

==== '''Non-Mainstream and Emerging Theories''' ====

This chapter also includes theories that are not currently part of mainstream consensus but that offer new approaches to cosmological constants or parameter derivation. These may include:

'''Alternative Gravity Theories''' – including MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics), TeVeS, conformal gravity, and entropic gravity. These models often aim to explain galactic rotation curves or cosmological structure without invoking dark matter.

'''Emergent and Flow-based Models''' – including theories where cosmic structure arises from energy influxes or universal flows (e.g., Cosmic Influx Theory, Spiral Cosmology). These models may propose new constants (such as influx-based scaling parameters) or reinterpret standard ones.

'''Continuous Creation or Steady-State Frameworks''' – These posit a continuous generation of matter or energy, potentially affecting the interpretation of Hubble expansion, cosmic microwave background, and the age of the universe.

'''Topological or Geometric Reinterpretations''' – Some proposals modify the dimensionality or topology of space-time itself, redefining how constants such as G or c emerge from underlying structures.

==== '''Comparative Perspective''' ====

By evaluating both mainstream and non-mainstream approaches on equal terms, this chapter aims to provide a comparative framework grounded in empirical adequacy, predictive capacity, and internal coherence. The inclusion of non-standard models is not intended to imply equivalence of scientific status, but rather to highlight the diversity of ideas that reinterpret or challenge conventional uses of cosmological parameters.

The theories evaluated here must define how they handle:

The derivation or reinterpretation of cosmological parameters

The role and meaning of universal constants in their framework

Their position relative to known tensions (e.g., Hubble tension, σ₈ tension)

This scope ensures that all models are critically evaluated using the same criteria, while allowing room for genuinely novel approaches to cosmology.

=== '''7.5 Evaluation Criteria and Comparative Overview''' ===

The cosmological theories presented in this chapter are evaluated using the shared set of criteria defined in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_1:_Introduction_and_Evaluation_Criteria#1.3:_List_of_Evaluation_Criteria|Chapter 1.3: List of Evaluation Criteria]]. These criteria are here specifically applied to how each theory handles cosmological parameters and universal constants.

'''Empirical Adequacy''' – alignment with observed values of key parameters (H₀, Ωₘ, Λ, σ₈, etc.) and data from CMB, supernovae, BAO, and large-scale structure

'''Internal Consistency''' – logical and mathematical coherence in the derivation or treatment of constants

'''Explanatory Power''' – ability to explain why constants have their observed values, not just fit them

'''Predictive Power''' – capacity to forecast future or unmeasured parameter values or resolve current tensions (e.g., Hubble tension)

'''Simplicity and Elegance''' – conceptual parsimony and avoidance of unnecessary parameters or fine-tuning

'''Compatibility with Other Theories''' – ability to integrate with broader physical theories and cosmological observations

'''Falsifiability and Openness to Testing''' – presence of testable predictions or measurable consequences

The paragraphs below summarize how each theory relates to these criteria. A more detailed AI-supported analysis follows in Section 7.6.

'''ΛCDM (Standard Model)''' is strongly supported by observational data and has high empirical adequacy. Its internal consistency and predictive power are well-established, especially in modeling the CMB and galaxy distributions. However, it treats many constants as fitted parameters without deeper explanation. The model faces known tensions in H₀ and σ₈, which challenge its completeness. It is conceptually simple and highly compatible with general relativity and particle physics, and its parameters are open to observational testing.

'''Modified Gravity (f(R))''' introduces geometric generalizations of Einstein's equations, potentially explaining dark energy and dark matter effects through curvature. While it can match observational data under certain models, its parameter space is broad, and empirical adequacy depends heavily on specific formulations. It offers improved explanatory potential over ΛCDM in some cases, but at the cost of increased mathematical complexity. Some forms are testable via gravitational lensing, structure formation, and precision cosmology.

'''MOND / TeVeS''' modifies Newtonian dynamics to eliminate the need for dark matter at galactic scales. It reproduces galactic rotation curves successfully but struggles at cosmological scales. Its internal logic is consistent within its regime of applicability, and it introduces the acceleration scale a₀ as a new constant. Predictive power is good for galaxies but limited for early-universe physics. MOND-type theories are testable but not easily reconciled with CMB data or structure formation.

'''Emergent Gravity (Verlinde)''' reinterprets gravity as an emergent entropic force arising from information-theoretic principles. It provides an elegant and conceptually innovative explanation of dark energy and inertia, but its empirical adequacy is still under investigation. It offers strong explanatory power in principle but lacks complete predictive frameworks for all cosmological parameters. The theory is testable in principle through deviations from Newtonian gravity in specific regimes, though experimental confirmation remains elusive.

'''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' derives the Hubble constant from influx-based relationships involving VRMS and the relativistic factor (γ−1), matching Planck-derived values. While some standard parameters (e.g., Ω values) are not explicitly defined, CIT offers strong internal consistency and explanatory power for G and H₀ via fundamental influx mechanisms. Its simplicity and dimensional coherence are strengths, though full cosmological compatibility and falsifiability require further development. It aligns with observed tensions and provides a novel conceptual bridge between gravity, expansion, and mass generation.

'''Spiral Cosmology''' explains cosmic structure and evolution through geometrically spiraling flows of energy and matter. It reinterprets constants as emergent from dynamic motion patterns rather than fixed inputs. Its empirical alignment is currently qualitative, but it provides strong explanatory power for structure formation and symmetry. Its conceptual elegance appeals to analogies in electromagnetic and wave theory. Predictive models and testable consequences remain a work in progress, but the theory is logically consistent within its internal framework.

'''Topological Field Framework (Hall)''' proposes that fundamental constants emerge from field topology in higher-dimensional configurations. It offers potential explanations for G, c, and Λ as emergent from geometry rather than fixed inputs. While still under development, it has strong internal logic and high explanatory ambition. Its empirical adequacy depends on deriving measurable predictions. Its compatibility with both general relativity and quantum geometry gives it interdisciplinary appeal, though full falsifiability is pending.

'''Conformal Gravity (Mannheim–Kazanas)''' eliminates the need for dark matter by modifying gravitational equations with conformal symmetry. It fits galactic rotation curves and some lensing observations without introducing new particles. Its predictive power is good at galactic scales, and it offers a deep geometric motivation for its equations. However, it faces challenges matching CMB and early-universe data. The theory is testable and internally consistent, but its cosmological compatibility is debated.

'''Quasi-Steady State Cosmology (QSSC)''' offers a cyclic, matter-generating model that modifies standard expansion assumptions. It reproduces redshift data through a non-Big Bang framework and introduces a creation field (C) as a new constant. Its empirical adequacy is mixed, and its compatibility with observed element abundances and CMB is questioned. However, its explanatory ambition and falsifiability through periodic structure and matter creation make it a valuable alternative perspective.

'''Dynamic Universe (Tuomo Suntola)''' proposes a zero-energy balance model in which cosmic parameters evolve from a unified dynamic geometry. It predicts H₀ and other constants from time-dependent curvature rather than fixed values. The theory is internally consistent, compact, and provides strong explanatory value for the origin of physical laws. Its compatibility with relativity is nonstandard but mathematically consistent. Observational tests are possible through detailed cosmological reconstructions and time-scaling relationships.

=== '''7.6 – AI Evaluation Based on Shared Criteria''' ===

This subsection presents an AI-assisted comparative evaluation of cosmological theories, based on the shared criteria defined in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_1:_Introduction_and_Evaluation_Criteria#1.3:_List_of_Evaluation_Criteria|Chapter 1.3: List of Evaluation Criteria]]. The goal is to clarify how each theory treats the fundamental cosmological parameters and universal constants discussed in this chapter. The evaluation highlights internal coherence, empirical alignment, explanatory ambition, and potential testability.

No star ratings are assigned here. Instead, each theory is qualitatively assessed across the criteria through short descriptive paragraphs.

'''ΛCDM (Standard Model)''' offers strong empirical alignment with CMB, supernova, and large-scale structure data. Its internal structure is based on general relativity and well-developed mathematical models, making it logically robust. However, it provides limited explanation for the specific values of constants such as H₀ or Λ, which are treated as empirical inputs. Despite this, it demonstrates predictive success across multiple observations. The model is conceptually economical, relying on a minimal parameter set, and is deeply integrated into the broader framework of modern physics. Known tensions (e.g., H₀ discrepancy) invite refinement or reinterpretation but do not undermine its overall compatibility with data. It remains broadly testable through increasingly precise cosmological measurements.

'''Modified Gravity (f(R))''' theories attempt to explain dark energy and acceleration through extensions of the Einstein-Hilbert action. They offer a reinterpretation of cosmic parameters in terms of curvature dynamics rather than exotic energy components. These models vary widely in structure and observational fit, depending on the chosen function f(R), but many reproduce key cosmological features. Their mathematical framework is internally consistent, and they contribute meaningfully to the debate on the nature of gravity. While their explanatory power is promising, some formulations require additional parameters or fine-tuning. Compatibility with structure formation data and gravitational lensing tests remains an important area for empirical evaluation.

'''MOND / TeVeS''' seeks to account for galactic rotation curves without invoking dark matter, introducing a critical acceleration scale as a new constant. It performs very well at galactic scales, offering a direct fit to rotation data. However, it faces challenges when applied to cosmological phenomena such as the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure. The theory’s internal dynamics are logically constructed and mathematically consistent within their range of application. Its predictive capacity is constrained to specific regimes, and it introduces conceptual simplicity with minimal new constants. Empirical tensions with high-redshift data suggest the need for further development or hybrid models.

'''Emergent Gravity (Verlinde)''' offers an innovative theoretical framework in which gravity and inertia emerge from entropic and information-theoretic principles. This model reframes fundamental constants as emergent properties of underlying entropy distributions. While its internal structure is elegant and conceptually coherent, empirical validation remains limited. It has provided tentative fits to certain lensing effects, but full cosmological modeling is still in development. The theory’s explanatory reach is broad, particularly in redefining Λ and inertia, though specific quantitative predictions are still rare. It is testable in principle, and future observational probes could refine or challenge its foundational assumptions.

'''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' proposes that the gravitational constant and Hubble parameter derive from a continuous influx of energy into matter. It uses the relativistic factor (γ−1) and a universal root mean square velocity (VRMS) to derive G and H₀, aligning with Planck observations without parameter fitting. The theory is internally consistent and offers strong explanatory coherence for the emergence of constants. Although it does not define all standard cosmological parameters, its introduction of scaling constants (κ and κ_CIT) provides a novel interpretation of structure and mass-energy evolution. The theory is open to falsification through predictions on orbital dynamics and preferred planetary distances, and invites new observational research.

'''Spiral Cosmology''' describes the evolution of the universe through organized spiraling flows of energy and matter. It offers a dynamic interpretation of cosmic structure and attempts to derive constants from the geometry of spiral motion. Its explanatory framework is creative and unified, though primarily qualitative at this stage. Observational alignment is still under development, and quantitative predictions remain limited. The model maintains internal coherence and offers potential compatibility with both geometric and wave-based models of the universe. It presents a unique lens on cosmic evolution and may be tested through pattern recognition in galactic distributions and background structure.

'''Topological Field Framework (Hall)''' attempts to explain the emergence of physical constants and structure from the topology of underlying fields. It replaces fixed constants with dynamic relationships determined by higher-dimensional field configurations. This theory is conceptually ambitious and mathematically coherent within its proposed framework. While it currently lacks detailed empirical predictions, it offers a strong explanatory model for the origin of constants such as G and c. The framework’s future success depends on its ability to generate testable consequences and interface with observational cosmology.

'''Conformal Gravity (Mannheim–Kazanas)''' modifies general relativity using conformal symmetry and has had success fitting galactic rotation curves without dark matter. It interprets cosmic acceleration and gravitational potentials without requiring Λ or exotic matter components. The theory’s structure is mathematically rigorous and geometrically elegant. While it fits some astrophysical data well, its compatibility with the CMB and early universe remains under scrutiny. It provides a deeper explanation for gravitational behavior, but requires additional work to extend to full cosmological predictions. It is empirically testable and offers a valuable challenge to conventional dark matter models.

'''Quasi-Steady State Cosmology (QSSC)''' revives and modifies the steady-state model by introducing a continuous creation field (C-field) and cyclic cosmological evolution. It offers an alternative interpretation of redshift and cosmic expansion that challenges the Big Bang model. The theory aligns with some observational patterns but struggles to reproduce others, such as the CMB spectrum and light element abundances. Its internal logic is self-consistent within its paradigm and introduces an original approach to matter generation and cosmic cycles. QSSC provides testable ideas, particularly related to periodicity and structural evolution, but remains outside the mainstream due to its divergence from accepted data interpretations.

'''Dynamic Universe (Tuomo Suntola)''' introduces a zero-energy cosmological model in which space, time, and matter evolve from a dynamically balanced 4-sphere geometry. This framework offers a coherent mathematical structure with an explicit derivation of H₀ and other constants from curvature and motion, rather than treating them as empirical inputs. It avoids the need for inflation, dark energy, or dark matter by reinterpreting cosmic expansion. The model’s internal consistency is strong, and its elegance lies in its unified geometric logic. Testable consequences emerge through its time-scaling formulations and reconstruction of historical cosmic dynamics, providing a fertile ground for further research.

=== '''7.7 – Helicopter View – Scientific Reception and Emerging Tensions''' ===

This subsection offers a broader reflection on how the theories presented in Chapter 7 are received within the scientific community, and how ongoing observational tensions and theoretical gaps have shaped the landscape of cosmological research. While the '''ΛCDM model''' remains the dominant paradigm, persistent anomalies and the rise of innovative frameworks have stimulated growing interest in alternatives that offer novel interpretations of cosmological parameters and universal constants.

The '''ΛCDM model''' has achieved widespread acceptance due to its empirical success in matching high-precision data from the Planck satellite, baryon acoustic oscillations, and Type Ia supernovae. Its internal consistency and predictive utility are widely recognized. However, the model also leaves several foundational questions unresolved. Chief among these is the origin and nature of the '''cosmological constant (Λ)''', which contributes over 68% of the energy density of the universe and yet remains theoretically unexplained. Furthermore, the persistent disparity between early-universe (CMB-derived) and late-universe (distance ladder) measurements of the '''Hubble constant (H₀)''' has become known as the '''&quot;Hubble tension&quot;'''. Similar discrepancies related to the amplitude of matter clustering ('''σ₈''') have raised additional concerns about potential missing physics.

These tensions have opened a window for the exploration of '''non-mainstream cosmologies'''. '''Modified gravity models''' such as '''f(R)''' and '''conformal gravity''' offer geometric alternatives that attempt to reproduce cosmic acceleration and structure formation without invoking dark energy or dark matter. While these models often require additional functions or parameters, they are gaining attention for their potential to resolve observational anomalies through new mathematical structures.

Theories such as '''MOND''', '''TeVeS''', and '''emergent gravity''' have had mixed receptions. '''MOND''' has provided compelling fits to galactic rotation curves but lacks a fully developed cosmological extension. '''Emergent gravity''' introduces a radically different ontology—treating gravity and inertia as statistical phenomena—which appeals to theorists seeking deeper unifying principles. Nonetheless, these theories face strong skepticism from mainstream cosmologists due to limited empirical validation and difficulties in reproducing CMB anisotropies and structure growth data.

The inclusion of conceptual models such as '''Spiral Cosmology''', '''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''', and the '''Dynamic Universe''' represents a growing movement within the scientific periphery to explore frameworks that derive cosmological constants from deeper principles—be they geometric, energetic, or topological. These models often operate outside the dominant institutional research programs, yet they reflect a longstanding scientific aspiration: to understand not only how the universe behaves, but why the constants that govern its behavior take the values they do.

Institutional acceptance of these models varies widely. Peer-reviewed publications remain limited for some, while others circulate primarily via academic repositories, conferences, or platforms such as '''Zenodo''', '''ResearchGate''', or '''Wikiversity'''. This reflects a broader tension in the scientific ecosystem: while mainstream paradigms are highly productive and empirically successful, they may not fully accommodate unconventional but potentially insightful hypotheses.

In this context, the '''AI-assisted comparative framework''' applied in this chapter aims to foster transparent, criteria-based evaluation of both accepted and emerging theories. By focusing on '''empirical adequacy''', '''internal logic''', and '''explanatory potential'''—rather than academic consensus alone—this approach supports a more inclusive and methodologically consistent cosmological discourse. 

=== '''7.8 – Next Steps''' ===

This final subsection outlines recommended next steps for researchers, contributors, and interested readers following the comparative evaluation of cosmological parameters and universal constants in Chapter 7.

First, contributors are encouraged to refine or expand the theory entries presented here by improving clarity, adding new references, or providing updated observational data. As ongoing missions such as the '''James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)''', '''Euclid''', and the '''Vera Rubin Observatory''' generate increasingly precise cosmological measurements, all models—mainstream and alternative—will face new opportunities for testing and validation. Particular attention should be paid to how each theory addresses current tensions, including the '''Hubble tension''', the '''σ₈ clustering discrepancy''', and the unexplained nature of '''Λ (dark energy)'''.

Second, AI-assisted comparative tools may be developed further to support large-scale cross-analysis of parameter predictions and internal consistencies. This could include algorithmic comparison of theory-derived parameter sets against datasets from Planck, SDSS, DESI, or gravitational wave observatories. Readers or institutions with expertise in computational cosmology are invited to explore these possibilities and report outcomes.

Third, alternative frameworks that derive constants from first principles—whether geometric, entropic, influx-based, or topological—may benefit from collaborative dialogue. Theories such as '''CIT''', '''Spiral Cosmology''', and the '''Dynamic Universe''' propose unorthodox but structured ways to reinterpret physical constants. These models can be further explored, modified, or combined in search of converging predictions.

Finally, this chapter should remain a living document. As the boundaries of cosmology continue to evolve, Wikiversity provides an open-access platform for iterative updates, interdisciplinary integration, and transparent evaluation. Contributors from all scientific backgrounds are welcome to propose revisions, submit new models, or refine the criteria used here. The comparative structure established in Chapter 7 will also serve as a foundation for deeper synthesis in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_8:_Critical_Evaluation_and_Future_Research_Paths|Chapter 8]], where star ratings, meta-evaluations, and future research priorities will be formally proposed.

=== '''7.1 – Purpose – Overview Cosmological Parameters and Universal Constants''' ===

This subsection introduces the key cosmological parameters and universal constants that underpin modern models of the universe. These values are foundational for describing the large-scale structure, expansion history, and composition of the cosmos. By defining and constraining these constants, researchers are able to test, compare, and refine competing cosmological theories.

The most widely used parameters include:

'''Hubble Constant (H₀)''' – The current rate of cosmic expansion, typically expressed in km/s/Mpc. It plays a central role in determining the age and scale of the universe.

'''Matter Density Parameter (Ωₘ)''' – The fraction of the critical density contributed by all forms of matter (baryonic and dark matter).

'''Dark Energy Density Parameter (Ω_Λ)''' – The fraction of the critical density attributed to dark energy, often associated with the cosmological constant (Λ).

'''Spectral Index (nₛ)''' – Characterizes the scale dependence of primordial density fluctuations.

'''Amplitude of Scalar Fluctuations (Aₛ)''' – Sets the overall level of fluctuations in the early universe, which seeded the formation of galaxies and clusters.

'''Optical Depth (τ)''' – Relates to the reionization history of the universe, affecting how the cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons have been scattered.

'''σ₈''' – A measure of the clustering strength of matter on scales of 8 h⁻¹ Mpc, used in large-scale structure studies.

These parameters are complemented by a set of universal physical constants that appear across all physical theories:

'''Gravitational Constant (G)'''

'''Speed of Light (c)'''

'''Planck’s Constant (h)'''

'''Boltzmann Constant (k_B)'''

'''Cosmological Constant (Λ)''' – interpreted as vacuum energy or dark energy density

'''Fine-Structure Constant (α)'''

Together, these parameters serve as the empirical backbone for cosmological models, allowing them to be calibrated against observational data. Most mainstream models—such as the ΛCDM model—use a minimal set of six to seven parameters, yet tensions persist between different measurement techniques. For example, the value of H₀ inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) differs significantly from values measured using Type Ia supernovae, leading to the well-known '''Hubble tension'''. Similarly, discrepancies in measurements of σ₈ suggest the possibility of unknown physical processes or the need for alternative frameworks.

This chapter evaluates how different cosmological theories define, derive, or reinterpret these parameters. It also considers whether a theory proposes a new universal constant, modifies existing ones, or offers an explanation for observed tensions. The role of these constants in the internal logic and predictive success of a theory is an essential component of the comparative evaluation.

=== '''7.2 – Scope – Mainstream and Non-mainstream Theories''' ===

This subsection outlines the scope of Chapter 7 in terms of the cosmological theories being considered, with specific attention to how each theory engages with cosmological parameters and universal constants. Both mainstream and non-mainstream theories are included in the evaluation to ensure a broad, inclusive, and critically informed comparison.

==== '''Mainstream Cosmological Frameworks''' ====

Mainstream cosmological models are those widely accepted within the current scientific consensus and supported by large-scale observational programs such as the Planck satellite, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The primary framework is the:

'''ΛCDM Model (Lambda Cold Dark Matter)'''
This model is based on general relativity and assumes a universe dominated by cold dark matter (CDM) and a cosmological constant (Λ) representing dark energy. It uses a standard set of six parameters to fit observational data:
– H₀ (Hubble constant)
– Ωₘ (matter density)
– Ω_Λ (dark energy density)
– nₛ (spectral index)
– Aₛ (amplitude of fluctuations)
– τ (optical depth)

ΛCDM has achieved notable empirical success, including accurate fits to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum and the large-scale distribution of galaxies. However, it faces unresolved tensions such as the disparity in H₀ values derived from early- and late-universe measurements, and differences in predicted versus observed values of σ₈ (matter clustering amplitude).

Other general relativity–based extensions or modifications, such as quintessence models (dynamic dark energy), modified gravity (e.g., f(R) theories), or models invoking additional neutrino species, are sometimes treated as extensions of ΛCDM rather than fundamentally separate theories.

==== '''Non-Mainstream and Emerging Theories''' ====

This chapter also includes theories that are not currently part of mainstream consensus but that offer new approaches to cosmological constants or parameter derivation. These may include:

'''Alternative Gravity Theories''' – including MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics), TeVeS, conformal gravity, and entropic gravity. These models often aim to explain galactic rotation curves or cosmological structure without invoking dark matter.

'''Emergent and Flow-based Models''' – including theories where cosmic structure arises from energy influxes or universal flows (e.g., Cosmic Influx Theory, Spiral Cosmology). These models may propose new constants (such as influx-based scaling parameters) or reinterpret standard ones.

'''Continuous Creation or Steady-State Frameworks''' – These posit a continuous generation of matter or energy, potentially affecting the interpretation of Hubble expansion, cosmic microwave background, and the age of the universe.

'''Topological or Geometric Reinterpretations''' – Some proposals modify the dimensionality or topology of space-time itself, redefining how constants such as G or c emerge from underlying structures.

==== '''Comparative Perspective''' ====

By evaluating both mainstream and non-mainstream approaches on equal terms, this chapter aims to provide a comparative framework grounded in empirical adequacy, predictive capacity, and internal coherence. The inclusion of non-standard models is not intended to imply equivalence of scientific status, but rather to highlight the diversity of ideas that reinterpret or challenge conventional uses of cosmological parameters.

The theories evaluated here must define how they handle:

The derivation or reinterpretation of cosmological parameters

The role and meaning of universal constants in their framework

Their position relative to known tensions (e.g., Hubble tension, σ₈ tension)

This scope ensures that all models are critically evaluated using the same criteria, while allowing room for genuinely novel approaches to cosmology.

== '''7.3 How to Contribute a Theory ''' ==

Researchers and contributors are welcome to propose additional theories that relate biological evolution and fossil records to planetary or cosmological models. Submissions may include observational insights, mathematical models, conceptual frameworks, or hybrid approaches.

=== '''7.4 – Theory Mapping Table''' ===

This table presents a structured comparison of diverse cosmological theories based on how they define or reinterpret key cosmological parameters and universal constants. The table includes both mainstream and non-mainstream paradigms, encouraging open comparative analysis grounded in scientific rigor.

=== '''7.5 Evaluation Criteria and Comparative Overview''' ===

The cosmological theories presented in this chapter are evaluated using the shared set of criteria defined in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_1:_Introduction_and_Evaluation_Criteria#1.3:_List_of_Evaluation_Criteria|Chapter 1.3: List of Evaluation Criteria]]. These criteria are here specifically applied to how each theory handles cosmological parameters and universal constants.

'''Empirical Adequacy''' – alignment with observed values of key parameters (H₀, Ωₘ, Λ, σ₈, etc.) and data from CMB, supernovae, BAO, and large-scale structure

'''Internal Consistency''' – logical and mathematical coherence in the derivation or treatment of constants

'''Explanatory Power''' – ability to explain why constants have their observed values, not just fit them

'''Predictive Power''' – capacity to forecast future or unmeasured parameter values or resolve current tensions (e.g., Hubble tension)

'''Simplicity and Elegance''' – conceptual parsimony and avoidance of unnecessary parameters or fine-tuning

'''Compatibility with Other Theories''' – ability to integrate with broader physical theories and cosmological observations

'''Falsifiability and Openness to Testing''' – presence of testable predictions or measurable consequences

The paragraphs below summarize how each theory relates to these criteria. A more detailed AI-supported analysis follows in Section 7.6.

'''ΛCDM (Standard Model)''' is strongly supported by observational data and has high empirical adequacy. Its internal consistency and predictive power are well-established, especially in modeling the CMB and galaxy distributions. However, it treats many constants as fitted parameters without deeper explanation. The model faces known tensions in H₀ and σ₈, which challenge its completeness. It is conceptually simple and highly compatible with general relativity and particle physics, and its parameters are open to observational testing.

'''Modified Gravity (f(R))''' introduces geometric generalizations of Einstein's equations, potentially explaining dark energy and dark matter effects through curvature. While it can match observational data under certain models, its parameter space is broad, and empirical adequacy depends heavily on specific formulations. It offers improved explanatory potential over ΛCDM in some cases, but at the cost of increased mathematical complexity. Some forms are testable via gravitational lensing, structure formation, and precision cosmology.

'''MOND / TeVeS''' modifies Newtonian dynamics to eliminate the need for dark matter at galactic scales. It reproduces galactic rotation curves successfully but struggles at cosmological scales. Its internal logic is consistent within its regime of applicability, and it introduces the acceleration scale a₀ as a new constant. Predictive power is good for galaxies but limited for early-universe physics. MOND-type theories are testable but not easily reconciled with CMB data or structure formation.

'''Emergent Gravity (Verlinde)''' reinterprets gravity as an emergent entropic force arising from information-theoretic principles. It provides an elegant and conceptually innovative explanation of dark energy and inertia, but its empirical adequacy is still under investigation. It offers strong explanatory power in principle but lacks complete predictive frameworks for all cosmological parameters. The theory is testable in principle through deviations from Newtonian gravity in specific regimes, though experimental confirmation remains elusive.

'''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' derives the Hubble constant from influx-based relationships involving VRMS and the relativistic factor (γ−1), matching Planck-derived values. While some standard parameters (e.g., Ω values) are not explicitly defined, CIT offers strong internal consistency and explanatory power for G and H₀ via fundamental influx mechanisms. Its simplicity and dimensional coherence are strengths, though full cosmological compatibility and falsifiability require further development. It aligns with observed tensions and provides a novel conceptual bridge between gravity, expansion, and mass generation.

'''Spiral Cosmology''' explains cosmic structure and evolution through geometrically spiraling flows of energy and matter. It reinterprets constants as emergent from dynamic motion patterns rather than fixed inputs. Its empirical alignment is currently qualitative, but it provides strong explanatory power for structure formation and symmetry. Its conceptual elegance appeals to analogies in electromagnetic and wave theory. Predictive models and testable consequences remain a work in progress, but the theory is logically consistent within its internal framework.

'''Topological Field Framework (Hall)''' proposes that fundamental constants emerge from field topology in higher-dimensional configurations. It offers potential explanations for G, c, and Λ as emergent from geometry rather than fixed inputs. While still under development, it has strong internal logic and high explanatory ambition. Its empirical adequacy depends on deriving measurable predictions. Its compatibility with both general relativity and quantum geometry gives it interdisciplinary appeal, though full falsifiability is pending.

'''Conformal Gravity (Mannheim–Kazanas)''' eliminates the need for dark matter by modifying gravitational equations with conformal symmetry. It fits galactic rotation curves and some lensing observations without introducing new particles. Its predictive power is good at galactic scales, and it offers a deep geometric motivation for its equations. However, it faces challenges matching CMB and early-universe data. The theory is testable and internally consistent, but its cosmological compatibility is debated.

'''Quasi-Steady State Cosmology (QSSC)''' offers a cyclic, matter-generating model that modifies standard expansion assumptions. It reproduces redshift data through a non-Big Bang framework and introduces a creation field (C) as a new constant. Its empirical adequacy is mixed, and its compatibility with observed element abundances and CMB is questioned. However, its explanatory ambition and falsifiability through periodic structure and matter creation make it a valuable alternative perspective.

'''Dynamic Universe (Tuomo Suntola)''' proposes a zero-energy balance model in which cosmic parameters evolve from a unified dynamic geometry. It predicts H₀ and other constants from time-dependent curvature rather than fixed values. The theory is internally consistent, compact, and provides strong explanatory value for the origin of physical laws. Its compatibility with relativity is nonstandard but mathematically consistent. Observational tests are possible through detailed cosmological reconstructions and time-scaling relationships.

=== '''7.6 – AI Evaluation Based on Shared Criteria''' ===

This subsection presents an AI-assisted comparative evaluation of cosmological theories, based on the shared criteria defined in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_1:_Introduction_and_Evaluation_Criteria#1.3:_List_of_Evaluation_Criteria|Chapter 1.3: List of Evaluation Criteria]]. The goal is to clarify how each theory treats the fundamental cosmological parameters and universal constants discussed in this chapter. The evaluation highlights internal coherence, empirical alignment, explanatory ambition, and potential testability.

No star ratings are assigned here. Instead, each theory is qualitatively assessed across the criteria through short descriptive paragraphs.

'''ΛCDM (Standard Model)''' offers strong empirical alignment with CMB, supernova, and large-scale structure data. Its internal structure is based on general relativity and well-developed mathematical models, making it logically robust. However, it provides limited explanation for the specific values of constants such as H₀ or Λ, which are treated as empirical inputs. Despite this, it demonstrates predictive success across multiple observations. The model is conceptually economical, relying on a minimal parameter set, and is deeply integrated into the broader framework of modern physics. Known tensions (e.g., H₀ discrepancy) invite refinement or reinterpretation but do not undermine its overall compatibility with data. It remains broadly testable through increasingly precise cosmological measurements.

'''Modified Gravity (f(R))''' theories attempt to explain dark energy and acceleration through extensions of the Einstein-Hilbert action. They offer a reinterpretation of cosmic parameters in terms of curvature dynamics rather than exotic energy components. These models vary widely in structure and observational fit, depending on the chosen function f(R), but many reproduce key cosmological features. Their mathematical framework is internally consistent, and they contribute meaningfully to the debate on the nature of gravity. While their explanatory power is promising, some formulations require additional parameters or fine-tuning. Compatibility with structure formation data and gravitational lensing tests remains an important area for empirical evaluation.

'''MOND / TeVeS''' seeks to account for galactic rotation curves without invoking dark matter, introducing a critical acceleration scale as a new constant. It performs very well at galactic scales, offering a direct fit to rotation data. However, it faces challenges when applied to cosmological phenomena such as the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure. The theory’s internal dynamics are logically constructed and mathematically consistent within their range of application. Its predictive capacity is constrained to specific regimes, and it introduces conceptual simplicity with minimal new constants. Empirical tensions with high-redshift data suggest the need for further development or hybrid models.

'''Emergent Gravity (Verlinde)''' offers an innovative theoretical framework in which gravity and inertia emerge from entropic and information-theoretic principles. This model reframes fundamental constants as emergent properties of underlying entropy distributions. While its internal structure is elegant and conceptually coherent, empirical validation remains limited. It has provided tentative fits to certain lensing effects, but full cosmological modeling is still in development. The theory’s explanatory reach is broad, particularly in redefining Λ and inertia, though specific quantitative predictions are still rare. It is testable in principle, and future observational probes could refine or challenge its foundational assumptions.

'''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' proposes that the gravitational constant and Hubble parameter derive from a continuous influx of energy into matter. It uses the relativistic factor (γ−1) and a universal root mean square velocity (VRMS) to derive G and H₀, aligning with Planck observations without parameter fitting. The theory is internally consistent and offers strong explanatory coherence for the emergence of constants. Although it does not define all standard cosmological parameters, its introduction of scaling constants (κ and κ_CIT) provides a novel interpretation of structure and mass-energy evolution. The theory is open to falsification through predictions on orbital dynamics and preferred planetary distances, and invites new observational research.

'''Spiral Cosmology''' describes the evolution of the universe through organized spiraling flows of energy and matter. It offers a dynamic interpretation of cosmic structure and attempts to derive constants from the geometry of spiral motion. Its explanatory framework is creative and unified, though primarily qualitative at this stage. Observational alignment is still under development, and quantitative predictions remain limited. The model maintains internal coherence and offers potential compatibility with both geometric and wave-based models of the universe. It presents a unique lens on cosmic evolution and may be tested through pattern recognition in galactic distributions and background structure.

'''Topological Field Framework (Hall)''' attempts to explain the emergence of physical constants and structure from the topology of underlying fields. It replaces fixed constants with dynamic relationships determined by higher-dimensional field configurations. This theory is conceptually ambitious and mathematically coherent within its proposed framework. While it currently lacks detailed empirical predictions, it offers a strong explanatory model for the origin of constants such as G and c. The framework’s future success depends on its ability to generate testable consequences and interface with observational cosmology.

'''Conformal Gravity (Mannheim–Kazanas)''' modifies general relativity using conformal symmetry and has had success fitting galactic rotation curves without dark matter. It interprets cosmic acceleration and gravitational potentials without requiring Λ or exotic matter components. The theory’s structure is mathematically rigorous and geometrically elegant. While it fits some astrophysical data well, its compatibility with the CMB and early universe remains under scrutiny. It provides a deeper explanation for gravitational behavior, but requires additional work to extend to full cosmological predictions. It is empirically testable and offers a valuable challenge to conventional dark matter models.

'''Quasi-Steady State Cosmology (QSSC)''' revives and modifies the steady-state model by introducing a continuous creation field (C-field) and cyclic cosmological evolution. It offers an alternative interpretation of redshift and cosmic expansion that challenges the Big Bang model. The theory aligns with some observational patterns but struggles to reproduce others, such as the CMB spectrum and light element abundances. Its internal logic is self-consistent within its paradigm and introduces an original approach to matter generation and cosmic cycles. QSSC provides testable ideas, particularly related to periodicity and structural evolution, but remains outside the mainstream due to its divergence from accepted data interpretations.

'''Dynamic Universe (Tuomo Suntola)''' introduces a zero-energy cosmological model in which space, time, and matter evolve from a dynamically balanced 4-sphere geometry. This framework offers a coherent mathematical structure with an explicit derivation of H₀ and other constants from curvature and motion, rather than treating them as empirical inputs. It avoids the need for inflation, dark energy, or dark matter by reinterpreting cosmic expansion. The model’s internal consistency is strong, and its elegance lies in its unified geometric logic. Testable consequences emerge through its time-scaling formulations and reconstruction of historical cosmic dynamics, providing a fertile ground for further research.

=== '''7.7 – Helicopter View – Scientific Reception and Emerging Tensions''' ===

This subsection offers a broader reflection on how the theories presented in Chapter 7 are received within the scientific community, and how ongoing observational tensions and theoretical gaps have shaped the landscape of cosmological research. While the '''ΛCDM model''' remains the dominant paradigm, persistent anomalies and the rise of innovative frameworks have stimulated growing interest in alternatives that offer novel interpretations of cosmological parameters and universal constants.

The '''ΛCDM model''' has achieved widespread acceptance due to its empirical success in matching high-precision data from the Planck satellite, baryon acoustic oscillations, and Type Ia supernovae. Its internal consistency and predictive utility are widely recognized. However, the model also leaves several foundational questions unresolved. Chief among these is the origin and nature of the '''cosmological constant (Λ)''', which contributes over 68% of the energy density of the universe and yet remains theoretically unexplained. Furthermore, the persistent disparity between early-universe (CMB-derived) and late-universe (distance ladder) measurements of the '''Hubble constant (H₀)''' has become known as the '''&quot;Hubble tension&quot;'''. Similar discrepancies related to the amplitude of matter clustering ('''σ₈''') have raised additional concerns about potential missing physics.

These tensions have opened a window for the exploration of '''non-mainstream cosmologies'''. '''Modified gravity models''' such as '''f(R)''' and '''conformal gravity''' offer geometric alternatives that attempt to reproduce cosmic acceleration and structure formation without invoking dark energy or dark matter. While these models often require additional functions or parameters, they are gaining attention for their potential to resolve observational anomalies through new mathematical structures.

Theories such as '''MOND''', '''TeVeS''', and '''emergent gravity''' have had mixed receptions. '''MOND''' has provided compelling fits to galactic rotation curves but lacks a fully developed cosmological extension. '''Emergent gravity''' introduces a radically different ontology—treating gravity and inertia as statistical phenomena—which appeals to theorists seeking deeper unifying principles. Nonetheless, these theories face strong skepticism from mainstream cosmologists due to limited empirical validation and difficulties in reproducing CMB anisotropies and structure growth data.

The inclusion of conceptual models such as '''Spiral Cosmology''', '''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''', and the '''Dynamic Universe''' represents a growing movement within the scientific periphery to explore frameworks that derive cosmological constants from deeper principles—be they geometric, energetic, or topological. These models often operate outside the dominant institutional research programs, yet they reflect a longstanding scientific aspiration: to understand not only how the universe behaves, but why the constants that govern its behavior take the values they do.

Institutional acceptance of these models varies widely. Peer-reviewed publications remain limited for some, while others circulate primarily via academic repositories, conferences, or platforms such as '''Zenodo''', '''ResearchGate''', or '''Wikiversity'''. This reflects a broader tension in the scientific ecosystem: while mainstream paradigms are highly productive and empirically successful, they may not fully accommodate unconventional but potentially insightful hypotheses.

In this context, the '''AI-assisted comparative framework''' applied in this chapter aims to foster transparent, criteria-based evaluation of both accepted and emerging theories. By focusing on '''empirical adequacy''', '''internal logic''', and '''explanatory potential'''—rather than academic consensus alone—this approach supports a more inclusive and methodologically consistent cosmological discourse. 

=== '''7.8 – Next Steps''' ===

This final subsection outlines recommended next steps for researchers, contributors, and interested readers following the comparative evaluation of cosmological parameters and universal constants in Chapter 7.

First, contributors are encouraged to refine or expand the theory entries presented here by improving clarity, adding new references, or providing updated observational data. As ongoing missions such as the '''James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)''', '''Euclid''', and the '''Vera Rubin Observatory''' generate increasingly precise cosmological measurements, all models—mainstream and alternative—will face new opportunities for testing and validation. Particular attention should be paid to how each theory addresses current tensions, including the '''Hubble tension''', the '''σ₈ clustering discrepancy''', and the unexplained nature of '''Λ (dark energy)'''.

Second, AI-assisted comparative tools may be developed further to support large-scale cross-analysis of parameter predictions and internal consistencies. This could include algorithmic comparison of theory-derived parameter sets against datasets from Planck, SDSS, DESI, or gravitational wave observatories. Readers or institutions with expertise in computational cosmology are invited to explore these possibilities and report outcomes.

Third, alternative frameworks that derive constants from first principles—whether geometric, entropic, influx-based, or topological—may benefit from collaborative dialogue. Theories such as '''CIT''', '''Spiral Cosmology''', and the '''Dynamic Universe''' propose unorthodox but structured ways to reinterpret physical constants. These models can be further explored, modified, or combined in search of converging predictions.

Finally, this chapter should remain a living document. As the boundaries of cosmology continue to evolve, Wikiversity provides an open-access platform for iterative updates, interdisciplinary integration, and transparent evaluation. Contributors from all scientific backgrounds are welcome to propose revisions, submit new models, or refine the criteria used here. The comparative structure established in Chapter 7 will also serve as a foundation for deeper synthesis in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_8:_Critical_Evaluation_and_Future_Research_Paths|Chapter 8]], where star ratings, meta-evaluations, and future research priorities will be formally proposed.

=== '''7.1 – Purpose – Overview Cosmological Parameters and Universal Constants''' ===

This subsection introduces the key cosmological parameters and universal constants that underpin modern models of the universe. These values are foundational for describing the large-scale structure, expansion history, and composition of the cosmos. By defining and constraining these constants, researchers are able to test, compare, and refine competing cosmological theories.

The most widely used parameters include:

'''Hubble Constant (H₀)''' – The current rate of cosmic expansion, typically expressed in km/s/Mpc. It plays a central role in determining the age and scale of the universe.

'''Matter Density Parameter (Ωₘ)''' – The fraction of the critical density contributed by all forms of matter (baryonic and dark matter).

'''Dark Energy Density Parameter (Ω_Λ)''' – The fraction of the critical density attributed to dark energy, often associated with the cosmological constant (Λ).

'''Spectral Index (nₛ)''' – Characterizes the scale dependence of primordial density fluctuations.

'''Amplitude of Scalar Fluctuations (Aₛ)''' – Sets the overall level of fluctuations in the early universe, which seeded the formation of galaxies and clusters.

'''Optical Depth (τ)''' – Relates to the reionization history of the universe, affecting how the cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons have been scattered.

'''σ₈''' – A measure of the clustering strength of matter on scales of 8 h⁻¹ Mpc, used in large-scale structure studies.

These parameters are complemented by a set of universal physical constants that appear across all physical theories:

'''Gravitational Constant (G)'''

'''Speed of Light (c)'''

'''Planck’s Constant (h)'''

'''Boltzmann Constant (k_B)'''

'''Cosmological Constant (Λ)''' – interpreted as vacuum energy or dark energy density

'''Fine-Structure Constant (α)'''

Together, these parameters serve as the empirical backbone for cosmological models, allowing them to be calibrated against observational data. Most mainstream models—such as the ΛCDM model—use a minimal set of six to seven parameters, yet tensions persist between different measurement techniques. For example, the value of H₀ inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) differs significantly from values measured using Type Ia supernovae, leading to the well-known '''Hubble tension'''. Similarly, discrepancies in measurements of σ₈ suggest the possibility of unknown physical processes or the need for alternative frameworks.

This chapter evaluates how different cosmological theories define, derive, or reinterpret these parameters. It also considers whether a theory proposes a new universal constant, modifies existing ones, or offers an explanation for observed tensions. The role of these constants in the internal logic and predictive success of a theory is an essential component of the comparative evaluation.

=== '''7.2 – Scope – Mainstream and Non-mainstream Theories''' ===

This subsection outlines the scope of Chapter 7 in terms of the cosmological theories being considered, with specific attention to how each theory engages with cosmological parameters and universal constants. Both mainstream and non-mainstream theories are included in the evaluation to ensure a broad, inclusive, and critically informed comparison.

==== '''Mainstream Cosmological Frameworks''' ====

Mainstream cosmological models are those widely accepted within the current scientific consensus and supported by large-scale observational programs such as the Planck satellite, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The primary framework is the:

'''ΛCDM Model (Lambda Cold Dark Matter)'''
This model is based on general relativity and assumes a universe dominated by cold dark matter (CDM) and a cosmological constant (Λ) representing dark energy. It uses a standard set of six parameters to fit observational data:
– H₀ (Hubble constant)
– Ωₘ (matter density)
– Ω_Λ (dark energy density)
– nₛ (spectral index)
– Aₛ (amplitude of fluctuations)
– τ (optical depth)

ΛCDM has achieved notable empirical success, including accurate fits to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum and the large-scale distribution of galaxies. However, it faces unresolved tensions such as the disparity in H₀ values derived from early- and late-universe measurements, and differences in predicted versus observed values of σ₈ (matter clustering amplitude).

Other general relativity–based extensions or modifications, such as quintessence models (dynamic dark energy), modified gravity (e.g., f(R) theories), or models invoking additional neutrino species, are sometimes treated as extensions of ΛCDM rather than fundamentally separate theories.

==== '''Non-Mainstream and Emerging Theories''' ====

This chapter also includes theories that are not currently part of mainstream consensus but that offer new approaches to cosmological constants or parameter derivation. These may include:

'''Alternative Gravity Theories''' – including MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics), TeVeS, conformal gravity, and entropic gravity. These models often aim to explain galactic rotation curves or cosmological structure without invoking dark matter.

'''Emergent and Flow-based Models''' – including theories where cosmic structure arises from energy influxes or universal flows (e.g., Cosmic Influx Theory, Spiral Cosmology). These models may propose new constants (such as influx-based scaling parameters) or reinterpret standard ones.

'''Continuous Creation or Steady-State Frameworks''' – These posit a continuous generation of matter or energy, potentially affecting the interpretation of Hubble expansion, cosmic microwave background, and the age of the universe.

'''Topological or Geometric Reinterpretations''' – Some proposals modify the dimensionality or topology of space-time itself, redefining how constants such as G or c emerge from underlying structures.

==== '''Comparative Perspective''' ====

By evaluating both mainstream and non-mainstream approaches on equal terms, this chapter aims to provide a comparative framework grounded in empirical adequacy, predictive capacity, and internal coherence. The inclusion of non-standard models is not intended to imply equivalence of scientific status, but rather to highlight the diversity of ideas that reinterpret or challenge conventional uses of cosmological parameters.

The theories evaluated here must define how they handle:

The derivation or reinterpretation of cosmological parameters

The role and meaning of universal constants in their framework

Their position relative to known tensions (e.g., Hubble tension, σ₈ tension)

This scope ensures that all models are critically evaluated using the same criteria, while allowing room for genuinely novel approaches to cosmology.

=== '''7.5 Evaluation Criteria and Comparative Overview''' ===

The cosmological theories presented in this chapter are evaluated using the shared set of criteria defined in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_1:_Introduction_and_Evaluation_Criteria#1.3:_List_of_Evaluation_Criteria|Chapter 1.3: List of Evaluation Criteria]]. These criteria are here specifically applied to how each theory handles cosmological parameters and universal constants.

'''Empirical Adequacy''' – alignment with observed values of key parameters (H₀, Ωₘ, Λ, σ₈, etc.) and data from CMB, supernovae, BAO, and large-scale structure

'''Internal Consistency''' – logical and mathematical coherence in the derivation or treatment of constants

'''Explanatory Power''' – ability to explain why constants have their observed values, not just fit them

'''Predictive Power''' – capacity to forecast future or unmeasured parameter values or resolve current tensions (e.g., Hubble tension)

'''Simplicity and Elegance''' – conceptual parsimony and avoidance of unnecessary parameters or fine-tuning

'''Compatibility with Other Theories''' – ability to integrate with broader physical theories and cosmological observations

'''Falsifiability and Openness to Testing''' – presence of testable predictions or measurable consequences

The paragraphs below summarize how each theory relates to these criteria. A more detailed AI-supported analysis follows in Section 7.6.

'''ΛCDM (Standard Model)''' is strongly supported by observational data and has high empirical adequacy. Its internal consistency and predictive power are well-established, especially in modeling the CMB and galaxy distributions. However, it treats many constants as fitted parameters without deeper explanation. The model faces known tensions in H₀ and σ₈, which challenge its completeness. It is conceptually simple and highly compatible with general relativity and particle physics, and its parameters are open to observational testing.

'''Modified Gravity (f(R))''' introduces geometric generalizations of Einstein's equations, potentially explaining dark energy and dark matter effects through curvature. While it can match observational data under certain models, its parameter space is broad, and empirical adequacy depends heavily on specific formulations. It offers improved explanatory potential over ΛCDM in some cases, but at the cost of increased mathematical complexity. Some forms are testable via gravitational lensing, structure formation, and precision cosmology.

'''MOND / TeVeS''' modifies Newtonian dynamics to eliminate the need for dark matter at galactic scales. It reproduces galactic rotation curves successfully but struggles at cosmological scales. Its internal logic is consistent within its regime of applicability, and it introduces the acceleration scale a₀ as a new constant. Predictive power is good for galaxies but limited for early-universe physics. MOND-type theories are testable but not easily reconciled with CMB data or structure formation.

'''Emergent Gravity (Verlinde)''' reinterprets gravity as an emergent entropic force arising from information-theoretic principles. It provides an elegant and conceptually innovative explanation of dark energy and inertia, but its empirical adequacy is still under investigation. It offers strong explanatory power in principle but lacks complete predictive frameworks for all cosmological parameters. The theory is testable in principle through deviations from Newtonian gravity in specific regimes, though experimental confirmation remains elusive.

'''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' derives the Hubble constant from influx-based relationships involving VRMS and the relativistic factor (γ−1), matching Planck-derived values. While some standard parameters (e.g., Ω values) are not explicitly defined, CIT offers strong internal consistency and explanatory power for G and H₀ via fundamental influx mechanisms. Its simplicity and dimensional coherence are strengths, though full cosmological compatibility and falsifiability require further development. It aligns with observed tensions and provides a novel conceptual bridge between gravity, expansion, and mass generation.

'''Spiral Cosmology''' explains cosmic structure and evolution through geometrically spiraling flows of energy and matter. It reinterprets constants as emergent from dynamic motion patterns rather than fixed inputs. Its empirical alignment is currently qualitative, but it provides strong explanatory power for structure formation and symmetry. Its conceptual elegance appeals to analogies in electromagnetic and wave theory. Predictive models and testable consequences remain a work in progress, but the theory is logically consistent within its internal framework.

'''Topological Field Framework (Hall)''' proposes that fundamental constants emerge from field topology in higher-dimensional configurations. It offers potential explanations for G, c, and Λ as emergent from geometry rather than fixed inputs. While still under development, it has strong internal logic and high explanatory ambition. Its empirical adequacy depends on deriving measurable predictions. Its compatibility with both general relativity and quantum geometry gives it interdisciplinary appeal, though full falsifiability is pending.

'''Conformal Gravity (Mannheim–Kazanas)''' eliminates the need for dark matter by modifying gravitational equations with conformal symmetry. It fits galactic rotation curves and some lensing observations without introducing new particles. Its predictive power is good at galactic scales, and it offers a deep geometric motivation for its equations. However, it faces challenges matching CMB and early-universe data. The theory is testable and internally consistent, but its cosmological compatibility is debated.

'''Quasi-Steady State Cosmology (QSSC)''' offers a cyclic, matter-generating model that modifies standard expansion assumptions. It reproduces redshift data through a non-Big Bang framework and introduces a creation field (C) as a new constant. Its empirical adequacy is mixed, and its compatibility with observed element abundances and CMB is questioned. However, its explanatory ambition and falsifiability through periodic structure and matter creation make it a valuable alternative perspective.

'''Dynamic Universe (Tuomo Suntola)''' proposes a zero-energy balance model in which cosmic parameters evolve from a unified dynamic geometry. It predicts H₀ and other constants from time-dependent curvature rather than fixed values. The theory is internally consistent, compact, and provides strong explanatory value for the origin of physical laws. Its compatibility with relativity is nonstandard but mathematically consistent. Observational tests are possible through detailed cosmological reconstructions and time-scaling relationships.

=== '''7.6 – AI Evaluation Based on Shared Criteria''' ===

This subsection presents an AI-assisted comparative evaluation of cosmological theories, based on the shared criteria defined in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_1:_Introduction_and_Evaluation_Criteria#1.3:_List_of_Evaluation_Criteria|Chapter 1.3: List of Evaluation Criteria]]. The goal is to clarify how each theory treats the fundamental cosmological parameters and universal constants discussed in this chapter. The evaluation highlights internal coherence, empirical alignment, explanatory ambition, and potential testability.

No star ratings are assigned here. Instead, each theory is qualitatively assessed across the criteria through short descriptive paragraphs.

'''ΛCDM (Standard Model)''' offers strong empirical alignment with CMB, supernova, and large-scale structure data. Its internal structure is based on general relativity and well-developed mathematical models, making it logically robust. However, it provides limited explanation for the specific values of constants such as H₀ or Λ, which are treated as empirical inputs. Despite this, it demonstrates predictive success across multiple observations. The model is conceptually economical, relying on a minimal parameter set, and is deeply integrated into the broader framework of modern physics. Known tensions (e.g., H₀ discrepancy) invite refinement or reinterpretation but do not undermine its overall compatibility with data. It remains broadly testable through increasingly precise cosmological measurements.

'''Modified Gravity (f(R))''' theories attempt to explain dark energy and acceleration through extensions of the Einstein-Hilbert action. They offer a reinterpretation of cosmic parameters in terms of curvature dynamics rather than exotic energy components. These models vary widely in structure and observational fit, depending on the chosen function f(R), but many reproduce key cosmological features. Their mathematical framework is internally consistent, and they contribute meaningfully to the debate on the nature of gravity. While their explanatory power is promising, some formulations require additional parameters or fine-tuning. Compatibility with structure formation data and gravitational lensing tests remains an important area for empirical evaluation.

'''MOND / TeVeS''' seeks to account for galactic rotation curves without invoking dark matter, introducing a critical acceleration scale as a new constant. It performs very well at galactic scales, offering a direct fit to rotation data. However, it faces challenges when applied to cosmological phenomena such as the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure. The theory’s internal dynamics are logically constructed and mathematically consistent within their range of application. Its predictive capacity is constrained to specific regimes, and it introduces conceptual simplicity with minimal new constants. Empirical tensions with high-redshift data suggest the need for further development or hybrid models.

'''Emergent Gravity (Verlinde)''' offers an innovative theoretical framework in which gravity and inertia emerge from entropic and information-theoretic principles. This model reframes fundamental constants as emergent properties of underlying entropy distributions. While its internal structure is elegant and conceptually coherent, empirical validation remains limited. It has provided tentative fits to certain lensing effects, but full cosmological modeling is still in development. The theory’s explanatory reach is broad, particularly in redefining Λ and inertia, though specific quantitative predictions are still rare. It is testable in principle, and future observational probes could refine or challenge its foundational assumptions.

'''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''' proposes that the gravitational constant and Hubble parameter derive from a continuous influx of energy into matter. It uses the relativistic factor (γ−1) and a universal root mean square velocity (VRMS) to derive G and H₀, aligning with Planck observations without parameter fitting. The theory is internally consistent and offers strong explanatory coherence for the emergence of constants. Although it does not define all standard cosmological parameters, its introduction of scaling constants (κ and κ_CIT) provides a novel interpretation of structure and mass-energy evolution. The theory is open to falsification through predictions on orbital dynamics and preferred planetary distances, and invites new observational research.

'''Spiral Cosmology''' describes the evolution of the universe through organized spiraling flows of energy and matter. It offers a dynamic interpretation of cosmic structure and attempts to derive constants from the geometry of spiral motion. Its explanatory framework is creative and unified, though primarily qualitative at this stage. Observational alignment is still under development, and quantitative predictions remain limited. The model maintains internal coherence and offers potential compatibility with both geometric and wave-based models of the universe. It presents a unique lens on cosmic evolution and may be tested through pattern recognition in galactic distributions and background structure.

'''Topological Field Framework (Hall)''' attempts to explain the emergence of physical constants and structure from the topology of underlying fields. It replaces fixed constants with dynamic relationships determined by higher-dimensional field configurations. This theory is conceptually ambitious and mathematically coherent within its proposed framework. While it currently lacks detailed empirical predictions, it offers a strong explanatory model for the origin of constants such as G and c. The framework’s future success depends on its ability to generate testable consequences and interface with observational cosmology.

'''Conformal Gravity (Mannheim–Kazanas)''' modifies general relativity using conformal symmetry and has had success fitting galactic rotation curves without dark matter. It interprets cosmic acceleration and gravitational potentials without requiring Λ or exotic matter components. The theory’s structure is mathematically rigorous and geometrically elegant. While it fits some astrophysical data well, its compatibility with the CMB and early universe remains under scrutiny. It provides a deeper explanation for gravitational behavior, but requires additional work to extend to full cosmological predictions. It is empirically testable and offers a valuable challenge to conventional dark matter models.

'''Quasi-Steady State Cosmology (QSSC)''' revives and modifies the steady-state model by introducing a continuous creation field (C-field) and cyclic cosmological evolution. It offers an alternative interpretation of redshift and cosmic expansion that challenges the Big Bang model. The theory aligns with some observational patterns but struggles to reproduce others, such as the CMB spectrum and light element abundances. Its internal logic is self-consistent within its paradigm and introduces an original approach to matter generation and cosmic cycles. QSSC provides testable ideas, particularly related to periodicity and structural evolution, but remains outside the mainstream due to its divergence from accepted data interpretations.

'''Dynamic Universe (Tuomo Suntola)''' introduces a zero-energy cosmological model in which space, time, and matter evolve from a dynamically balanced 4-sphere geometry. This framework offers a coherent mathematical structure with an explicit derivation of H₀ and other constants from curvature and motion, rather than treating them as empirical inputs. It avoids the need for inflation, dark energy, or dark matter by reinterpreting cosmic expansion. The model’s internal consistency is strong, and its elegance lies in its unified geometric logic. Testable consequences emerge through its time-scaling formulations and reconstruction of historical cosmic dynamics, providing a fertile ground for further research.

=== '''7.7 – Helicopter View – Scientific Reception and Emerging Tensions''' ===

This subsection offers a broader reflection on how the theories presented in Chapter 7 are received within the scientific community, and how ongoing observational tensions and theoretical gaps have shaped the landscape of cosmological research. While the '''ΛCDM model''' remains the dominant paradigm, persistent anomalies and the rise of innovative frameworks have stimulated growing interest in alternatives that offer novel interpretations of cosmological parameters and universal constants.

The '''ΛCDM model''' has achieved widespread acceptance due to its empirical success in matching high-precision data from the Planck satellite, baryon acoustic oscillations, and Type Ia supernovae. Its internal consistency and predictive utility are widely recognized. However, the model also leaves several foundational questions unresolved. Chief among these is the origin and nature of the '''cosmological constant (Λ)''', which contributes over 68% of the energy density of the universe and yet remains theoretically unexplained. Furthermore, the persistent disparity between early-universe (CMB-derived) and late-universe (distance ladder) measurements of the '''Hubble constant (H₀)''' has become known as the '''&quot;Hubble tension&quot;'''. Similar discrepancies related to the amplitude of matter clustering ('''σ₈''') have raised additional concerns about potential missing physics.

These tensions have opened a window for the exploration of '''non-mainstream cosmologies'''. '''Modified gravity models''' such as '''f(R)''' and '''conformal gravity''' offer geometric alternatives that attempt to reproduce cosmic acceleration and structure formation without invoking dark energy or dark matter. While these models often require additional functions or parameters, they are gaining attention for their potential to resolve observational anomalies through new mathematical structures.

Theories such as '''MOND''', '''TeVeS''', and '''emergent gravity''' have had mixed receptions. '''MOND''' has provided compelling fits to galactic rotation curves but lacks a fully developed cosmological extension. '''Emergent gravity''' introduces a radically different ontology—treating gravity and inertia as statistical phenomena—which appeals to theorists seeking deeper unifying principles. Nonetheless, these theories face strong skepticism from mainstream cosmologists due to limited empirical validation and difficulties in reproducing CMB anisotropies and structure growth data.

The inclusion of conceptual models such as '''Spiral Cosmology''', '''Cosmic Influx Theory (CIT)''', and the '''Dynamic Universe''' represents a growing movement within the scientific periphery to explore frameworks that derive cosmological constants from deeper principles—be they geometric, energetic, or topological. These models often operate outside the dominant institutional research programs, yet they reflect a longstanding scientific aspiration: to understand not only how the universe behaves, but why the constants that govern its behavior take the values they do.

Institutional acceptance of these models varies widely. Peer-reviewed publications remain limited for some, while others circulate primarily via academic repositories, conferences, or platforms such as '''Zenodo''', '''ResearchGate''', or '''Wikiversity'''. This reflects a broader tension in the scientific ecosystem: while mainstream paradigms are highly productive and empirically successful, they may not fully accommodate unconventional but potentially insightful hypotheses.

In this context, the '''AI-assisted comparative framework''' applied in this chapter aims to foster transparent, criteria-based evaluation of both accepted and emerging theories. By focusing on '''empirical adequacy''', '''internal logic''', and '''explanatory potential'''—rather than academic consensus alone—this approach supports a more inclusive and methodologically consistent cosmological discourse. 

=== '''7.8 – Next Steps''' ===

This final subsection outlines recommended next steps for researchers, contributors, and interested readers following the comparative evaluation of cosmological parameters and universal constants in Chapter 7.

First, contributors are encouraged to refine or expand the theory entries presented here by improving clarity, adding new references, or providing updated observational data. As ongoing missions such as the '''James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)''', '''Euclid''', and the '''Vera Rubin Observatory''' generate increasingly precise cosmological measurements, all models—mainstream and alternative—will face new opportunities for testing and validation. Particular attention should be paid to how each theory addresses current tensions, including the '''Hubble tension''', the '''σ₈ clustering discrepancy''', and the unexplained nature of '''Λ (dark energy)'''.

Second, AI-assisted comparative tools may be developed further to support large-scale cross-analysis of parameter predictions and internal consistencies. This could include algorithmic comparison of theory-derived parameter sets against datasets from Planck, SDSS, DESI, or gravitational wave observatories. Readers or institutions with expertise in computational cosmology are invited to explore these possibilities and report outcomes.

Third, alternative frameworks that derive constants from first principles—whether geometric, entropic, influx-based, or topological—may benefit from collaborative dialogue. Theories such as '''CIT''', '''Spiral Cosmology''', and the '''Dynamic Universe''' propose unorthodox but structured ways to reinterpret physical constants. These models can be further explored, modified, or combined in search of converging predictions.

Finally, this chapter should remain a living document. As the boundaries of cosmology continue to evolve, Wikiversity provides an open-access platform for iterative updates, interdisciplinary integration, and transparent evaluation. Contributors from all scientific backgrounds are welcome to propose revisions, submit new models, or refine the criteria used here. The comparative structure established in Chapter 7 will also serve as a foundation for deeper synthesis in [[AI-Assisted_Evaluation_of_Cosmological_Theories/Chapter_8:_Critical_Evaluation_and_Future_Research_Paths|Chapter 8]], where star ratings, meta-evaluations, and future research priorities will be formally proposed.

This page presents an educational overview of the NKT Law — a proposed theoretical framework that explores the interaction between position and varying inertia in physical systems. The formulation aims to extend traditional Newtonian dynamics by incorporating the possibility that inertia (mass) may not be constant, but can vary with position and time.

This page is intended for academic discussion, exploration, and critique within the spirit of open scientific learning.

== Theoretical Formulation ==

The NKT Law is based on two fundamental interaction terms:

:'''S₁ = x ⋅ p'''  
:'''S₂ = ṁ ⋅ p'''

Where:
- '''x''' is position,
- '''p''' is momentum,
- '''ṁ''' is the time derivative of mass (i.e., varying inertia),
- The dot (⋅) denotes scalar multiplication.

These two multiplicative interactions are proposed to represent:
- **S₁**: The classical coupling between position and momentum, echoing Hamiltonian intuition.
- **S₂**: A new term that models how changes in inertia might interact with momentum, a concept not found in Newtonian mechanics.

The total action-like expression is a sum of both interactions:  
:'''S = S₁ + S₂ = x⋅p + ṁ⋅p'''

This formulation is intentionally minimalistic, focusing on clarity and testability.

== Physical Motivation ==

Conventional physics assumes that mass (inertia) is constant in most cases. However, in scenarios like:
- **Rocket propulsion** (variable mass),
- **Gravitational collapse** (mass-energy distribution),
- **Cosmic expansion** (large-scale structure evolution),

mass may be effectively dynamic. The NKT Law hypothesizes that position-dependent inertia might lead to observable corrections in motion equations.

== Example Applications ==

Several hypothetical contexts where the NKT Law could be tested include:

* **Simple Harmonic Oscillator** – analyzing how variable inertia modifies periodic motion.
* **Rocket motion** – standard variable mass mechanics might gain additional terms.
* **Planetary orbits near dense gravity wells** – considering inertia influenced by position.

(Full numerical models are under development in future versions of this page.)

== Discussion and Critique ==

The NKT Law is a speculative proposal and has not yet been peer-reviewed. It is offered here as an open idea to explore extensions of classical dynamics. Constructive criticism and alternative formulations are encouraged.

Readers are invited to:
- Test the implications of the law in classical and relativistic scenarios,
- Examine the mathematical consistency,
- Explore possible experimental verifications.

|A student of physics sticks with a percentage of {{mathl|term= 50 \% |pm=}} to physics, changes with a percentage of {{mathl|term= 30 \% |pm=}} to mathematics, and takes with a percentage of {{mathl|term= 20 \% |pm=}} a  semester off.  
|Someone who takes a semester off sticks with a percentage of {{mathl|term= 40 \% |pm=}} to this, and changes with a percentage of {{mat|term= 20 \% |pm=}} to either mathematics, philosophy, or physics.

{{
Enumeration3
|Establish a stochastic matrix representing these movements.

      <text bytes="976" sha1="d2ufwedpchf8gwrj3my3lil1fh8x5x0" xml:space="preserve">In 1683 [[w:E_(mathematical_constant)#Compound_interest|Jacob Bernoulli considered the following problem]]: &lt;blockquote&gt;An account starts with $1.00 and pays 100 percent interest per year. If the interest is credited once, at the end of the year, the value of the account at year-end will be $2.00. What happens if the interest is computed and credited more frequently during the year?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Calculate the year-end value of the account if the interest in credited twice per year.
* Once per month?
* Once per week?
* Once per day?
* Every hour?
* Continuously?

Do you recognize that number? 

== Answer: ==
If there are ''n'' compounding intervals, the interest for each interval will be 100%/''n'' and the value at the end of the year will be $1.00 × (1 + 1/''n'')&lt;sup&gt;n&lt;/sup&gt;

For continuous compounding the formula becomes:  

&lt;math display= block&gt;\lim_{n\to \infty}\left(1+\frac 1n\right)^n&lt;/math&gt;

University of British Columbia history professor Heidi J.S. Tworek&lt;ref name=Tworek/&gt; discusses her research on the impact of the media on politics in Germany focusing especially in 1900 through 1945 and its implications for today as documented in her prize-winning (2019) book, ''News from Germany: The Competition to Control World Communications, 1900–1945'' and other work. 

== Tworek bio== 

Tworek&lt;ref name=Tworek/&gt;  is the Canada Research Chair and Director of the Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions at the [[w:University of British Columbia|University of British Columbia]]. Her work focuses on how new media technology and policy have impacted democracy. She is also a senior fellow at the [[w:Centre for International Governance Innovation|Centre for International Governance Innovation]] in [[w:Waterloo, Ontario|Waterloo, Ontario]] as well as a non-resident fellow at the [[w:German Marshall Fund|German Marshall Fund]] of the United States and the [[w:Canadian Global Affairs Institute|Canadian Global Affairs Institute]]. She has co-edited four volumes and currently co-edits the [[w:Journal of Global History|''Journal of Global History'']] in addition to having published or forthcoming over 45 book chapters and journal articles&lt;ref name=Tworek/&gt; in addition to numerous publications and appearances in more popular outlets like [[w:The Washington Post|''The Washington Post'']], [[w:The New York Times|''The New York Times'']], and [[w:CBS|CBS]].&lt;ref name=Tworek/&gt;

== The need for media reform to improve democracy == 

This article is part of [[:category:Media reform to improve democracy]]. We describe here briefly the motivation for this series.

[[Great American Paradox|One major contributor to the dominant position of the US in the international political economy]] today may have been the [[w:Postal Service Act|US Postal Service Act of 1792]]. Under that act, newspapers were delivered up to 100 miles for a penny when first class postage was between 6 and 25 cents. [[w:Alexis de Tocqueville|Alexis de Tocqueville]], who visited the relatively young United States of America in 1831, wrote, “There is scarcely a hamlet that does not have its own newspaper.”&lt;ref&gt;Tocqueville (1835, p. 93).&lt;/ref&gt; McChesney and Nichols estimated that these newspaper subsidies were roughly 0.21 percent of national income (Gross Domestic Project, GDP) in 1841.&lt;ref&gt;McChesney and Nichols (2010, pp. 310-311, note 88).&lt;/ref&gt;

At that time, the US probably led the world by far in the number of independent newspaper publishers per capita or per million population. This encouraged literacy and limited political corruption, both of which contributed to making the US a leader in the rate of growth in average annual income (Gross Domestic Product, GDP, per capita). Corruption was also limited by the inability of a small number of publishers to dominate political discourse.

That began to change in the 1850s and 1860s with the introduction of high speed rotary presses, which increased the capital required to start a newspaper.&lt;ref&gt;John and Silberstein-Loeb (2015, p. 80).&lt;/ref&gt;

In 1887 [[w:William Randolph Hearst|William Randolph Hearst]] took over management of his father’s ''[[w:San Francisco Examiner|San Francisco Examiner]]''. His success there gave him an appetite for building a newspaper chain. His 1895 purchase of the ''[[w:New York Morning Journal|New York Morning Journal]]'' gave him a second newspaper. By the mid-1920s, he owned 28 newspapers. Consolidation of ownership of the media became easier with the introduction of broadcasting and even easier with the Internet.&lt;ref&gt;John and Silberstein-Loeb (2015). See also Wikiversity, “[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]” and “[[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]]“.&lt;/ref&gt; [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|This consolidation seems to be increasing political polarization and violence worldwide]], threatening democracy itself.

=== The threat from loss of newspapers ===

A previous ''Media &amp; Democracy'' interview with Arizona State University accounting professor Roger White on &quot;[[Local newspapers limit malfeasance]]&quot; describes problems that increase as the quality and quantity of news declines and ownership and control of the media become more highly concentrated: Major media too often deflect the public's attention from political corruption enabled by poor media. This too often contributes to other problems like [[w:Scapegoating|scapegoating]] [[w:Immigration|immigrants]] and attacking [[w:Diversity, equity, and inclusion|Diversity, equity, and inclusion]] (DEI) while also facilitating increases in pollution, the cost of borrowing, political polarization and violence, and decreases in workplace safety. More on this is included in other interviews in this ''Media &amp; Democracy'' series available on Wikiversity under [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy]].

An important quantitative analysis of the problems associated with deficiencies in news is Neff and Pickard (2024). They analyzed data on media funding and democracy in 33 countries. The US has been rated as a &quot;flawed democracy&quot; according to the [[w:Economist Democracy Index|Economist Democracy Index]] and spends substantially less per capita on media compared to the world's leading democracies in Scandinavia and Commonweath countries. They note that commercial media focus primarily on people with money, while publicly-funded media try harder to serve everyone. Public funding is more strongly correlated with democracy than private funding. This recommends increasing public funding for media as a means of strengthening democracy. See also &quot;[[Information is a public good: Designing experiments to improve government]]&quot;.

      <text bytes="25732" sha1="aewun79zupdgpvd6ydey5dqbok7qqlz" xml:space="preserve">Medical emergencies occur anywhere, at any time, in any country irrespective of whether it is a developed, developing or an underdeveloped country. These emergencies occur by the hour, consuming a lot of resources and sometimes, without even achieving the desired results, i.e., to save lives. Medical emergencies have been around since the start of the human civilization, however, they gained recognition as a specialty only around 30 years ago (Chung, 2001). An emergency medical system’s goal should be to provide universal and integrative emergency care right from the time it receives information from an emergency user (Dykstra, E. H, 1997). Further, in a country like India, the seventh largest country, and with the second highest population in the world (David, S. S., &amp; Vasnaik, M,  2007) and high income disparity, the implementation and context of the emergency medical system should be in a way to increase health equity and not worsen the current health disparities (David, S. S., &amp; Vasnaik, M,  2007). This challenge faced by India and similar developing nations can be attended to by promoting systematic development of an evidence-based emergency medical system that is more cost effective than those in developed countries like the USA, Canada and certain European countries where there is lesser income disparity. To design an effective emergency medical system, there is need to address questions such as how it would integrate with the current health-care infrastructure, local communities as well as their values, and the financial resources that would be needed to augment the services step by step (Gupta, M. Das, &amp; Rani, M. 2004).  In India, the public sector accounts for less than 20 percent of the total healthcare expenditure, which is the lowest in the world, and is less than 1% of the country’s GDP (KPMG, 2005). Around 94% of the amount of private expenditure is from out of the pockets of citizens, and the remaining 6% is the provision’s expenditure (Development Bank A, 2015).  The way forward for the government to address this challenging situation is to consider the Public Private Partnerships (PPP) model in the emergency healthcare sector in India. The emergence v of PPP in India has provided a viable solution wherein the government-led public sector forms a synergetic partnership with the technically advanced and innovative private sector (Raman, A.V et al., 2008).  In emergency medical services, the government set-up 108 partnerships in 2005 (Besley, T., &amp; Ghatak, M. 2017) with private organizations, such as GVK, Ziqitza Health Care Ltd., to deal with fatal emergencies, for example, dealing with the medical emergency during the Fani cyclone1 at Odisha in 2019. However, the emergency services are fragmented in India (Subhan, I., &amp; Jain, A. 2010), with many private services having entered the arena without regulation. Though this may look to be a good social and altruistic sign, in the long run, it would hamper the progress of emergency services across the country. These questions will be well-addressed in this study when the rationality of promoting the emergency service systems is evaluated from the financing point of view. Further, in this study, we model the PPP contracts in accordance with the government’s plan to integrate emergency services inclusive of fire and police with emergency health services under a common emergency telephone number, 112. Evidence is available to show that several roles, strategies, rules, and pay-offs govern procedures in the partnerships between the public sector and private firms (Bettignies, J.-E. de, &amp; Ross, T. W, 2004). Thus, modeling them as complex games can help to better understand the failures and difficulties in such partnerships (Scharle, 2002). In this context, the researchers are implementing Nash bargain solutions in their research works to understand financial renegotiations (De Brux, J. 2010). However, there are very few studies to understand why financial renegotiation between government and service provider fails in a PPP contract. Through this study, we hope to provide a solid foundation to the integrated emergency medical services, which in turn, would provide Indian citizens the same equity, access, and quality of services which have been enjoyed by the people in the developing countries for decades.  1Fani cyclone hit many parts of Odisha in April- May of 2019, article by Vishwa Mohan (May 4, 2019), Times of India. vi In the first essay, we have modeled funding mechanisms for Profit-based (Corporate) service providers to provide emergency medical services in PPP during natural disasters such as  cyclones and tsunamis or pandemic-like situations such as Covid-19 when there is an unprecedented increase in demand of this service provision. In the second situation, that is, pandemic-like situations, we have considered modeling conditions when the service provider is successful in renegotiating with the government as well as when renegotiation is unsuccessful and investor goes ahead with the funding under government intervention.. Insights from the study indicate that government underinvests during regular situations, whereas during situations which require unprecedented rise in demand, it needs to monitor the service providers to prevent moral hazards. In the second essay, we have modeled funding mechanisms for non-profit-based (NGO) service providers under similar conditions as in the first essay. Further, in case of an unprecedented rise of demand, we have restricted to modeling in renegotiation, as the case of renegotiation failure does not occur in case of non-profit-based service providers. Insights from the study show that the government has preference for investing in non-profit service providers as their pay-off increases with the payoff of the non-profit service provider (SP). In the final essay, we have modeled advertising as a signal to convey the type of service provider (profit/non-profit) to the citizens (/Users/Patients); and also help the service providers decide their service provision. The study reveals that in regular situations, the advertisement strategy may aid to serve the patients when they require the emergency services. Further, the government may prefer either of the SPs (Profit-Oriented or Non-Profit-Oriented) to provide better payoffs in the PPP contractual relationship.  We find that the government needs to incentivize service providers to attain demand /service realization. Alternatively, it can penalize service providers by formulating policies if the effort vii decreases with an increase in investment, as in few scenarios. Further, in all scenarios the government needs to formulate policies that aid investment in insurance companies so that citizens have to make less “out of pockets payments” that are quite expensive in emerging economies like India.  Though insurance schemes have been launched by the central government in the past few years, various states that have been in PPP -based contracts for emergency health services need to coordinate with the centre to launch more innovative insurance schemes to reduce “out of pocket&quot; expenses” thereby, improving citizen’s welfare. viii{{Article info
