Tech News: 2021-50

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

Recent changes

• There are now default short aliases for the "Project:" namespace on most wikis. E.g. On Wikibooks wikis, [[WB:]] will go to the local language default for the [[Project:]] namespace. This change is intended to help the smaller communities have easy access to this feature. Additional local aliases can still be requested via the usual process. [৩]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 December. It will be on all wikis from 16 December (calendar).

উইকিমিডিয়ার কারিগরি সম্প্রদায় থেকে প্রকাশিত সাম্প্রতিক প্রযুক্তি সংবাদ। অনুগ্রহ করে এই পরিবর্তনগুলি সম্পর্কে অন্য ব্যবহারকারীদের জানান। সকল পরিবর্তন আপনাকে প্রভাবিত করবে না। আরও অনুবাদ উপলব্ধ রয়েছে।

সাম্প্রতিক পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• নির্দিষ্ট সরঞ্জামদ্বারা করা পরিবর্তনগুলি সনাক্ত করতে অপব্যবহার ছাঁকুনিতে একটি oauth_consumer মান যুক্ত করা হয়েছে। [৬]
• গ্যাজেটগুলি চাইলে এখন সরাসরি জেসন পাতাগুলোর মাধ্যমে লোড হতে পারবে। এর অর্থ কিছু গ্যাজেট এখন ইন্টারফেস প্রশাসক অনুমতির প্রয়োজন ছাড়াই প্রশাসকদের মাধ্যমে পরিবর্তন করা যেতে পারে, যেমন জিওনোটিশ গ্যাজেট। [৭]
• Gadgets can now specify page actions on which they are available. For example, |actions=edit,history will load a gadget only while editing and on history pages. [৮]
• Gadgets can now be loaded on demand with the withgadget URL parameter. This can be used to replace an earlier snippet that typically looks like withJS or withCSS. [৯]
• যেই উইকিতে মেন্টরশিপ ব্যবস্থা প্রয়োজন অনুসারে পরিবর্তন করা হয়েছে, সেখানে আপনি এখন একজন পরামর্শদাতার পরামর্শগ্ৰহীতার তালিকা পেতে অ্যাকশন এপিআই ব্যবহার করতে পারেন। [১০]
• লগ-ইন ব্যবহারকারীদের জন্য MediaWiki:Mainpage-title-loggedin এবং লগ-আউট ব্যবহারকারীদের জন্য MediaWiki:Mainpage-title ব্যবহার করে এখন প্রধান পাতার শিরোনামটি পরিবর্তন করা যেতে পারে। শিরোনামটি লুকানোর জন্য পূর্বে ব্যবহৃত যে কোনও সিএসএস অপসারণ করা উচিত। [১১] [১২]
• Four special pages (and their API counterparts) now have a maximum database query execution time of 30 seconds. These special pages are: RecentChanges, Watchlist, Contributions, and Log. This change will help with site performance and stability. You can read more details about this change including some possible solutions if this affects your workflows. [১৩]
• The sticky header has been deployed for 50% of logged-in users on more than 10 wikis. This is part of the Desktop Improvements. See how to take part in the project.

এই সপ্তাহের পরের পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• মিডিয়াউইকির নতুন সংস্করণ টেস্ট উইকি এবং MediaWiki.org সাইটে ১১ জানুয়ারি থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। অ-উইকিপিডিয়া ও কিছু উইকিপিডিয়ায় এটি ১২ জানুয়ারি থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। সকল উইকিতে এটি ১৩ জানুয়ারি থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে (পঞ্জিকা)।

ঘটনা

• Community Wishlist Survey 2022 begins. All contributors to the Wikimedia projects can propose for tools and platform improvements. The proposal phase takes place from 10 January 18:00 UTC to 23 January 18:00 UTC. Learn more.

সাম্প্রতিক পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• When using WikiEditor (also known as the 2010 wikitext editor), people will now see a warning if they link to disambiguation pages.

• When asked to create a new page or talk page section, input fields can be "preloaded" with some text. This feature is now limited to wikitext pages.

Tech News: 2022-08

উইকিমিডিয়ার কারিগরি সম্প্রদায় থেকে প্রকাশিত সাম্প্রতিক প্রযুক্তি সংবাদ। অনুগ্রহ করে এই পরিবর্তনগুলি সম্পর্কে অন্য ব্যবহারকারীদের জানান। সকল পরিবর্তন আপনাকে প্রভাবিত করবে না। অনুবাদ উপলব্ধ রয়েছে।

সাম্প্রতিক পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• Special:Nuke will now provide the standard deletion reasons (editable at MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown) to use when mass-deleting pages. This was a request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. [২০]
• At Wikipedias, all new accounts now get the Growth features by default when creating an account. Communities are encouraged to update their help resources. Previously, only 80% of new accounts would get the Growth features. A few Wikipedias remain unaffected by this change. [২১]
• 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 class=notpageimage. For example, [[File:Example.png|class=notpageimage]]. [২২]
• There has been a change to the HTML of Special:Contributions, Special:MergeHistory, and History pages, to support the grouping of changes by date in the mobile skin. While unlikely, this may affect gadgets and user scripts. A list of all the HTML changes is on Phabricator.

ঘটনা

• সম্প্রদায়ের ইচ্ছেতালিকা জরিপের ফলাফল প্রকাশিত হয়েছে। প্রস্তাবনার ফলাফল গুলো ক্রমানুসারে উপলব্ধ‌ রয়েছে।

এই সপ্তাহের পরের পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• মিডিয়াউইকির নতুন সংস্করণ টেস্ট উইকি এবং MediaWiki.org সাইটে ২২ ফেব্রুয়ারি থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। অ-উইকিপিডিয়া ও কিছু উইকিপিডিয়ায় এটি ২৩ ফেব্রুয়ারি থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। সকল উইকিতে এটি ২৪ ফেব্রুয়ারি থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে (পঞ্জিকা)।

ভবিষ্যতের পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• The software to play videos and audio files on pages will change soon on all wikis. The old player will be removed. Some audio players will become wider after this change. The new player has been a beta feature for over four years. [২৩][২৪]
• Toolforge's underlying operating system is being updated. If you maintain any tools there, there are two options for migrating your tools into the new system. There are details, deadlines, and instructions on Wikitech. [২৫]
• Administrators will soon have the option to delete/undelete the associated "talk" page when they are deleting a given page. An API endpoint with this option will also be available. This was a request from the 2021 Wishlist Survey.

প্রযুক্তি সংবাদ লেখক দ্বারা প্রস্তুতকৃত ও বট দ্বারা প্রকাশিত প্রযুক্তি সংবাদ • অবদান রাখুন • অনুবাদ করুন • সাহায্য পান • মতামত জানান • গ্রাহকত্ব পরিচালনা করুন।

Tech News: 2022-09

উইকিমিডিয়ার কারিগরি সম্প্রদায় থেকে প্রকাশিত সাম্প্রতিক প্রযুক্তি সংবাদ। অনুগ্রহ করে এই পরিবর্তনগুলি সম্পর্কে অন্য ব্যবহারকারীদের জানান। সকল পরিবর্তন আপনাকে প্রভাবিত করবে না। আরও অনুবাদ উপলব্ধ রয়েছে।

সাম্প্রতিক পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• সম্পাদনা ট্যাগ দ্বারা সম্পাদনা অনুসন্ধান করার সময়, যেমন পৃষ্ঠার ইতিহাস বা ব্যবহারকারীর অবদানে, এখন সম্ভাব্য ট্যাগের একটি ড্রপডাউন তালিকা রয়েছে। এটি ছিল ২০২২ কমিউনিটি উইশলিস্ট সার্ভেতে। [২৬]
• গ্রোথ পরামর্শদাতা ড্যাশবোর্ড ব্যবহারকারী পরামর্শদাতারা এখন তাদের জন্য নিয়োগ করা নতুনদের দেখতে পাবেন যারা কমপক্ষে একটি এবং সর্বোচ্চ ২০০টি পর্যন্ত সম্পাদনা করেছেন। পূর্বে, পরামর্শদাতাকে নিয়োগ দেওয়া সব নবাগতদেরই ড্যাশবোর্ডে দেখানো হতো, এমনকি কোনো সম্পাদনা ছাড়াই বা যারা শত শত সম্পাদনা করেছে। পরামর্শদাতারা এখনও তাদের ড্যাশবোর্ডে ফিল্টার ব্যবহার করে এই মানগুলি পরিবর্তন করতে পারেন। এছাড়াও, ফিল্টারগুলির শেষ পছন্দটি এখন সংরক্ষণ করা হবে। [২৭][২৮]
• ব্যবহারকারী গ্রুপ oversight এর নাম পরিবর্তন করে করা হয়েছে supress। এটি প্রযুক্তিগত কারণে। আপনাকে পুরানো নামের কোনো স্থানীয় রেফারেন্স আপডেট করতে হতে পারে, যেমন গ্যাজেট,Special:Listusers, বা NUMBERINGROUP এর ব্যবহারগুলোতে।

সমস্যাগুলি

• পরিবর্তন ট্র্যাকিং পৃষ্ঠাগুলির এইচটিএমএল-এ সাম্প্রতিক পরিবর্তন স্ক্রিনরিডারদের জন্য কিছু সমস্যা সৃষ্টি করেছে। এটা ঠিক করা হচ্ছে। [২৯]

এই সপ্তাহের পরের পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• মিডিয়াউইকির নতুন সংস্করণ টেস্ট উইকি এবং MediaWiki.org সাইটে ১ মার্চ থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। অ-উইকিপিডিয়া ও কিছু উইকিপিডিয়ায় এটি ২ মার্চ থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। সকল উইকিতে এটি ৩ মার্চ থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে (পঞ্জিকা)।

ভবিষ্যতের পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• টেমপ্লেটের সাথে কাজ করা সহজ হবে। কিছু উন্নতি বেশিরভাগ উইকিতে ৯ মার্চ এবং ইংরেজি উইকিপিডিয়ায় ১৬ মার্চের জন্য পরিকল্পনা করা হয়েছে। উন্নতির মধ্যে রয়েছে: বন্ধনী ম্যাচিং, সিনট্যাক্স হাইলাইট করা রং, টেমপ্লেট খুঁজে বের করা ও সন্নিবেশ করা এবং সম্পর্কিত ভিজ্যুয়াল এডিটর বৈশিষ্ট্য।
• আপনি যদি একজন টেমপ্লেট ডেভেলপার বা ইন্টারফেস অ্যাডমিনিস্ট্রেটর হন, এবং আপনি ইচ্ছাকৃতভাবে ব্যবহারকারীর প্রতিক্রিয়া বাক্সের ডিফল্ট সিএসএস শৈলীগুলিকে ওভাররাইড করছেন বা ব্যবহার করছেন (ক্লাসগুলি: successbox, messagebox, errorbox, warningbox), দয়া করে মনে রাখবেন যে এই ক্লাসগুলি এবং সংশ্লিষ্ট সিএসএসগুলি শীঘ্রই মিডিয়াউইকি কোর থেকে সরিয়ে দেওয়া হবে। এটি সমস্যা প্রতিরোধ করার জন্য যখন একই ক্লাস-নামগুলি উইকিতে ব্যবহার করা হয়। আপনি যদি মনে করেন আপনি প্রভাবিত হতে পারেন তাহলে অনুগ্রহ করে phab:T300314-এ মন্তব্য করে আমাদের জানান।

সমস্যাগুলি

• There was a problem with the collection of some page-view data from June 2021 to January 2022 on all wikis. This means the statistics are incomplete. To help calculate which projects and regions were most affected, relevant datasets are being retained for 30 extra days. You can read more on Meta-wiki.
• ১০ মার্চ ডাটাবেসগুলির সাথে একটি সমস্যা ছিল৷ সমস্ত উইকি ১২ মিনিটের জন্য লগ ইন করা ব্যবহারকারীদের জন্য অগম্য ছিল৷ লগ-আউট হওয়া ব্যবহারকারীরা পৃষ্ঠাগুলি পড়তে পারে কিন্তু তখন অক্যাশড সামগ্রী সম্পাদনা করতে বা অ্যাক্সেস করতে পারে না। [৩৩]

এই সপ্তাহের পরের পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• মিডিয়াউইকির নতুন সংস্করণ টেস্ট উইকি এবং MediaWiki.org সাইটে ১৫ মার্চ থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। অ-উইকিপিডিয়া ও কিছু উইকিপিডিয়ায় এটি ১৬ মার্চ থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে। সকল উইকিতে এটি ১৭ মার্চ থেকে উপলব্ধ হবে (পঞ্জিকা)।
• যখন uselang=qqx ব্যবহার করে স্থানীয়করণ বার্তা খোঁজা হবে, এটি এখন "ইতিহাস দেখুন"-এর মতো নেভিগেশন ট্যাবের জন্য সম্ভাব্য সব বার্তা দেখাবে। [৩৪]
• Access to বিশেষ:অপসারিত ইতিহাস has been expanded to include users who have deletelogentry and deletedhistory rights through their group memberships. Before, only those with the deleterevision right could access this special page. [৩৫]
• On the বিশেষ:পুনরুদ্ধার pages for diffs and revisions, there will be a link back to the main Undelete page with the list of revisions. [৩৬]

ভবিষ্যতের পরিবর্তনসমূহ

• The Wikimedia Foundation has announced the IP Masking implementation strategy and next steps. The announcement can be read here.
• উইকিপিডিয়া অ্যান্ড্রয়েড অ্যাপ ডেভেলপাররা ব্যবহারকারীর আলাপ পাতা এবং নিবন্ধ আলাপ পাতার জন্য নতুন ফাংশনে কাজ করছেন। [৩৭]

অনুষ্ঠানসমূহ

• The Wikimedia Hackathon 2022 will take place as a hybrid event on 20-22 May 2022. The Hackathon will be held online and there are grants available to support local in-person meetups around the world. Grants can be requested until 20 March.

Growth Newsletter #20

গ্রোথ দলের বিংশ নিউজলেটারে আপনাকে স্বাগতম!

গ্রোথ দলের লক্ষ্য হল সফটওয়্যারজনিত পরিবর্তনের মাধ্যমে উইকিমিডিয়া প্রকল্পসমূহে নবাগতদের ধরে রাখতে সহায়তা করা।

পরামর্শকৃত সম্পাদনা

২০১৯ সালের ডিসেম্বরে প্রথম গ্রোথ দলের বৈশিষ্ট্য প্রযুক্ত হওয়ার পর থেকে ২০২২ সালের ফেব্রুয়ারি পর্যন্ত মোট ৩ লক্ষ পরামর্শকৃত সম্পাদনা করা হয়েছে।

একটি লিঙ্ক যুক্ত করুন হলো দলের প্রথম কাঠামোবদ্ধ কাজ, যা ২০২১ এর মে মাসে প্রযুক্ত হয়। এটা নবাগতদের কাজের মান উন্নত করেছে। দল বর্তমানে দ্বিতীয় চক্র (iteration) নিয়ে কাজ করছে যা নিয়ে সম্প্রদায়ের মতামত ও উপাত্ত বিশ্লেষণের মাধ্যমে আগানো হচ্ছে। উন্নতির মধ্যে অন্তর্ভুক্ত থাকবে: উন্নত অ্যালগরিদম-ভিত্তিক পরামর্শ, একইরকম লিঙ্ক অতিরিক্ত যুক্ত করা প্রতিহত করার জন্য নিরাপত্তাবেষ্টনী এবং ব্যবহারকারীদের সম্পাদনা চালিয়ে যাওয়ার জন্য আরো সুস্পষ্ট উৎসাহ। এই উন্নতিগুলি যোগ করার পরে আমরা আরো বেশি উইকিপিডিয়ায় এই কাজটি প্রয়োগ করব।

একটি ছবি যুক্ত করুন হলো আমাদের দল দ্বারা নির্মিত দ্বিতীয় কাঠামোবদ্ধ কাজ। এটি ২০২১ সালের নভেম্বরে চারটি পাইলট উইকিপিডিয়ায় মোতায়েন করা হয়। নবাগতদের জন্য এটা আরো বেশি কঠিন কাজ ছিল। তবে কাজটি নিবন্ধসমূহের মান আরো বাড়িয়ে তোলে (এখন পর্যন্ত, ১০০০টিরও বেশি ছবি যুক্ত করা হয়েছে)। আমরা বর্তমানে সম্প্রদায়গুলি থেকে শিখছি এবং একইসাথে কোন কোন দিক ভাল কাজ করছে বা কোন কোন দিকে উন্নতি প্রয়োজন, সে সম্পর্কে প্রাপ্ত তথ্য থেকেও শিখছি। প্রকল্প পাতায় প্রোটোটাইপের মিথস্ক্রিয় ধাঁচের একটি লিঙ্ক রয়েছে। আমরা প্রাথমিক সংস্করণ নির্মাণ ও পরীক্ষা চালানোর ক্ষেত্রে আমাদের এই পরিকল্পনা নিয়ে আপনার ভাবনা জানতে অত্যন্ত আগ্রহী। আমরা পরীক্ষামূলকভাবে আরো বিভিন্ন উইকিপিডিয়াতে এই কাজ প্রয়োগ করব।

"একটি লিঙ্ক যুক্ত করুন" এবং "একটি ছবি যুক্ত করুন" বৈশিষ্ট্যদুইটি প্রতিদিন নবাগতরা কতটা কাজ করতে পারবে তা সীমিত করে তোলে। এর মাধ্যমে অসতর্ক নবাগতরা যেন অতিরিক্ত ভুল সম্পাদনা না করতে পারে, তা নিশ্চিত করে তোলা হয়।

ইতিবাচক প্রেরণা

গত দুই বছর ধরে, গ্রোথ দল পরামর্শকৃত সম্পাদনাসমূহ নির্মাণের দিকে মনোনিবেশ করেছে: নবাগতদের শুরু করার জন্য কিছু সহজ কাজ তৈরির মাধ্যমে। আমরা এই অভিজ্ঞতার ভিত্তিতে বুঝতে পেরেছি যে এই কাজগুলো অনেক নবাগতকে তাদের প্রথম সম্পাদনা করতে সহায়তা করে। বর্তমানে আমাদের দল একটি নতুন প্রকল্প নিয়ে কাজ করছে, যার নাম "ইতিবাচক প্রেরণা"। এ প্রকল্পের উদ্দেশ্য হলো নবাগতরা যেন তাদের সম্পাদনা নিয়ে গর্ব বোধ করেন এবং আবারও ফিরে এসে একই ধরনের কাজ করতে আগ্রহী হোন। ইতিবাচক প্রেরণা প্রকল্পে আমরা তিন ধরণের বৈশিষ্ট্য নিয়ে চিন্তা করছি:

• অবদানের পরিসংখ্যান: নবাগতরা যেন দেখতে পান তাদের অবদান রাখা নিবন্ধ কতজন পড়ছেন।
• ক্রমান্বয়ে ধাপ অতিক্রম: নবাগতদের সহজ থেকে তুলনামূলক কঠিন কাজের দিকে যেতে উৎসাহিত করা।
• ব্যক্তিগত প্রশংসা: মেন্টর এবং অন্যান্য অবদানকারীগণ যেন নতুনদের "ধন্যবাদ" এবং পুরস্কার প্রদান করেন, সে ব্যাপারে তাদের উৎসাহিত করে তোলা।

প্রকল্পটি শুরুর দিকে আছে, এবং আমরা গতিবিধির ক্ষেত্রে সম্প্রদায়ের চিন্তা কামনা করি। আমরা জানি যদি নবাগতদের ভুলভাবে উৎসাহিত করা হয়, তবে ব্যাপারটি খারাপ দিকে যাবে। তাই আমরা সচেতন থাকতে চাই। এই আলাপ পাতায় গিয়ে প্রকল্প নিয়ে মতামত দিয়ে আমাদের সহায়তা করুন!

মেন্টরদের জন্য সংবাদ

• মেন্টর ড্যাশবোর্ড বর্তমানে সকল উইকিতে পাওয়া যাচ্ছে। এর মাধ্যমে মেন্টরগণ তাদের পরামর্শগ্রহীতাদের দেখতে পারেন এবং কাজের ব্যাপারে অবহিত থাকেন। মেন্টরদের তালিকা তৈরির পরে স্বয়ংক্রিয়ভাবেই এটি তৈরি হয়ে যাচ্ছে। যদি মেন্টরদের তালিকা তৈরিতে আপনার কোনোপ্রকার সহায়তার প্রয়োজন হয়, তবে নির্দ্বিধায় আমাদের জানান।
• মেন্টর ড্যাশবোর্ডের একটি নতুন মডিউল রয়েছে: সেটিংস। এর মাধ্যমে বর্তমানে মেন্টরগণ তাদের সক্রিয়তার অবস্থা (সক্রিয় বা নিষ্ক্রিয়) জানাতে পারেন। তারা কী পরিমাণ প্রশ্ন চাইছেন তাও জানাতে পারেন, এবং নবাগতদের দাবিকরণ প্রক্রিয়াও আগের চেয়ে সহজতর হয়েছে। এর মাধ্যমে মেন্টরগণ দায়িত্ব থেকে অব্যাহতিও নিতে পারেন এবং স্বয়ংক্রিয়ভাবে ঐ মেন্টরের পরামর্শগ্রহীতারা নতুন মেন্টর পাবেন।
• আমরা কাজ করছি যেন পরামর্শগ্রহীতা মেন্টর সুবিধা থেকে সরে আসতে পারেন কিংবা আবার ফিরে আসতে পারেন।
• পূর্বে পরামর্শগ্রহীতাদের সক্রিয়তা নির্দেশক সারণি সকল পরামর্শগ্রহীতাদেরকেই দেখাতো, এমনকি যারা শূন্য সম্পাদনা করেছে কিংবা অনেক সম্পাদনা করেছে। আমরা এটি পরিবর্তন করেছি যেন এখন ১ থেকে ৫০০ সম্পাদনাবিশিষ্ট পরামর্শগ্রহীতাদেরকেই কেবলমাত্র প্রদর্শন করা হয়। মেন্টর ছাঁকনি ব্যবহার করে প্রয়োজনমত উপাত্ত দেখতে পারবেন।
• আমরা বর্তমানে মেন্টরগণের দায়িত্ব গ্রহণের জন্য একটি বিশেষ পাতা নিয়ে কাজ করছি।

কিছু উইকি ব্যবহারকারীবাক্স তৈরি করেছে যেন মেন্টরগণ তাদের ব্যবহারকারী পাতায় তা প্রদর্শন করতে পারেন। যদি আপনার উইকিতেও এমনটা থেকে থাকে, তবে তা উইকিউপাত্তের সাথে লিঙ্ক করুন!

আকার পরিবর্তনকরণ

পূর্বে, অধিকাংশ উইকিপিডিয়াতে, কেবল ৮০% নবাগত গ্রোথ বৈশিষ্ট্য পেতেন। এর কারণ ছিল পরীক্ষণ, যেন আমাদের একটি নিয়ন্ত্রণ দল থাকে। আমরা এই সেটিংসে পরিবর্তন এনেছি। বর্তমানে সকল উইকিপিডিয়ায় ১০০% নবাগত গ্রোথ বৈশিষ্ট্য পাবেন (হাতেগোণা কিছু উইকিপিডিয়া বাদে, যা পরীক্ষামূলক উইকি হিসেবে গণ্য হচ্ছে)। আমরা সম্প্রদায়কে আহ্বান জানাব তাদের নথি ও টিউটোরিয়াল হালনাগাদের জন্য। অনুগ্রহ করে সেগুলোর মধ্যে গ্রোথ বৈশিষ্ট্য যুক্ত করুন। আপনাকে সহায়তার জন্য আমরা একটি সাহায্য পাতা তৈরি করেছি যা আপনার উইকির জন্য অনূদিত ও পরিমার্জিত করে তোলা যেতে পারে।

কীভাবে সহায়তা করবেন

আপনার কি গ্রোথ বৈশিষ্ট্য নিয়ে প্রশ্ন আছে? এই অনুবাদযোগ্য প্রাজিপ্রতে গ্রোথ দলের কাজ নিয়ে প্রায়শ জিজ্ঞাসাকৃত প্রশ্ন রয়েছে। আমরা নিয়মিত এটি হালনাগাদ করি।

নবাগতদের জন্য ইন্টারফেস অনুবাদ গুরুত্বপূর্ণ। আপনার ভাষার জন্য সহায়তা করুন, গ্রোথ বৈশিষ্ট্যসমূহের ইন্টারফেসের রচনা সংশোধন বা অনুবাদের মাধ্যমে।

গ্রোথ দলের নিউজলেটার প্রস্তুত করেছে গ্রোথ দল এবং বার্তা রেখেছে বট • মতামত দিন • সাবস্ক্রাইব বা আনসাবস্ক্রাইব করুন।

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

Problems

• For a few days last week, edits that were suggested to newcomers were not tagged in the বিশেষ:সাম্প্রতিক পরিবর্তনসমূহ feed. This bug has been fixed. [৪৩]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 April. It will be on all wikis from 7 April (calendar).
• Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on 7 April at 7:00 UTC (targeted wikis).

Future changes

• Over the next few months, the "Add a link" Growth feature will become available to more Wikipedias. Each week, a few wikis will get the feature. You can test this tool at a few wikis where "Link recommendation" is already available.
