Updates for editors
Later in November, the Charts extension will be deployed to the test wikis in order to help identify and fix any issue. A security review is underway to then enable deployment to pilot wikis for broader testing. You can read
the October project update
and see the
latest documentation and examples on Beta Wikipedia
View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were
resolved last week
. For example,
Pediapress.com
, an external service that creates books from Wikipedia, can now use
Wikimedia Maps
to include existing pre-rendered infobox map images in their printed books on Wikipedia.

Updates for technical contributors
Wikis can use
the Guided Tour extension
to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with
dark mode
. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set
emitTransitionOnStep
to
true
to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag
allowAutomaticBack
to avoid back-buttons they don't want.

Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the
Nuke Extension
will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier.
