Hello, here are the latest news from Wikimedia Norge!
Arctic Knot – a big success
The final thing we did before the summer holidays was to hold the
Arctic Knot Conference. We spent most of 2021 preparing the conference, and the conference lasted for two days with a lot of participation. Most of the videos from the conference are available in
this playlist on YouTube.
13–17 August
Wikimania
Wikimania starts tomorrow, and the deadline for
registering is midnight UTC tonight. Wikimania lasts for 5 days, and
the program is adapted to multiple timezones, so it will take place at various parts of the day. There are plenty of interesting submissions!
Wikimedia Norge is participating with
a workshop. The workshop's goal is to further develop the idea of a Wikimedia hub for underrepresented language communities. Everyone is welcome to participate!
Next wiki meet-up
25 August
The first
meet-up of the fall will be about
Abstract Wikipedia. We will watch Denny Vrandečić's presentation from Arctic Knot together, and discuss afterwards. The meet-up will take place on
Google Meet, and start at 17.00 CEST. Simply explained, Abstract Wikipedia is about writing articles as functions in order to make them language-independent.
International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples
9 August marks the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, and we wrote
a blog post based on some of the presentations from the Arctic Knot Conference.
Wikipedia 20 years
Due to Wikipedia's 20 year anniversary, we have received video greetings from government ministers and the President of the Sámi Parliament. You can
watch the videos here. The greetings are for everyone who has contributed to Wikipedia during its 20 years of existence – thank you very much for your efforts!
Wikipedia in Norwegian turns 20 in November. This will be celebrated at the November meet-up; further information will come later.

Wikidata weekly summary #481
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Mismatch Finder: We are making good progress on the tool. We made it possible to retrieve mismatches that are in the store part of the tool via an API.
Regular expressions in constraints are now no longer checked via the Query Service. The checks have been completely moved over to a dedicated service for regular expression checking. (
phab:T204031)
Edits made via the user interface (as opposed to with tools, bots, etc.) are now tagged as such to make them easier to filter (
example - edits made to labels, descriptions and aliases on mobile are still missing but will follow soon)
Working on allowing to restrict constraints to certain entity types (
phab:T269724)
Zhurong (Chinese: 祝融; pinyin: Zhùróng) is China's first Mars rover, which formed part of the Chinese Tianwen 1 mission to Mars. It landed on May 14, 2021, to make China the second country to successfully soft land on Mars and establish communications from the Martian surface, after the United States. Zhurong was successfully deployed on 22 May 2021, 02:40 UTC

Translations are available.
Recent changes
You can add language links in the sidebar in the
new Vector skin again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet.

Problems
There was a problem on wikis which use the Translate extension. Translations were not updated or were replaced with the English text. The problems have been fixed.
[2][3][4]
Changes later this week
A
revision tag will soon be added to edits that add links to
disambiguation pages. This is because these links are usually added by accident. The tag will allow editors to easily find the broken links and fix them. If your wiki does not like this feature, it can be
hidden.

Would you like to help improve the information about tools? Would you like to attend or help organize a small virtual meetup for your community to discuss the list of tools? Please get in touch on the
Toolhub Quality Signal Sessions talk page. We are also looking for feedback
from tool maintainers on some specific questions.
In the past, edits to any page in your user talk space ignored your
mute list, e.g. sub-pages. Starting this week, this is only true for edits to your talk page.

The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 August. It will be on all wikis from 19 August (

@
Ohnoitsjamie:, thanks. I don't think that more measures should be taken against the range. A couple of years ago I was also a Globally Locked Sockmaster on that same FPT Hanoi range and it's ridiculously easy to switch IP addresses, you just turn your modem on and off and within 30 (thirty) seconds you're on a new IP, if you do this enough times you will be on another range. While I managed to get both globally unlocked and locally unblocked this user doesn't respect the process and has been actively socking on FPT Hanoi for almost a decade so range blocks won't stop them and as almost everyone in Hanoi uses that provider I would advise against blocking IP's on the range as it would likely cause more collateral damage than solve any issues. Protecting the page won't be wise too as
good IP users also contribute. So for now it might be just wise to not do to much actions as
Unserefahne (Musée Annam) simply jumps from IP to IP and from range to range. --

I understand that it's a large range, but at the moment it's only
partially-blocked from editing a few pages that the same user has targeted over the last few months. Uninvolved IPs can still propose changes on the talk pages. OhNoitsJamieTalk19:48, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
@
Ohnoitsjamie:, that's good, it's just that they're likely to jump range in a few days. Usually they just like insulting people so most of their edits are reverted by random patrollers. I kind of forgot that partial blocks were a thing but thanks for keeping the blocking to a minimum. --
Donald Trung (

19:57, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
Yes, partial blocks are a great tool; I use them frequently now. We have a lot of great regular contributors on IPs, so I do my best to avoid collateral from such ranges. OhNoitsJamieTalk01:21, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
Luna Park was an amusement park in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City. Luna Park was located on a site bounded by Surf Avenue to the south, West 8th Street to the east, Neptune Avenue to the north, and West 12th Street to the west. Luna Park opened in 1903 and operated until 1944.

50 cool new things you can now do with KB’s collection highlights - In this series of 5 articles we show the added value of putting images and metadata of
digitised collection highlights of the KB, national library of the Netherlands, into the Wikimedia infrastructure. By putting our collection highlights into Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia, dozens of new functionalities have been added. As a result of Wikifying this collection in 2020, you can now do things with these highlights that were not possible before. Article by

The
"Wikidata Quickstatements" translator which lets users transfer metadata about citation sources fromZotero into Wikidata, no longer needs to be manually installed. Existing manually-installed versions should update automatically, like other translators.
Edits to labels, descriptions and aliases on mobile are now also tagged as edits made via the user interface. All edits made via the user interface are now tagged as such. (

Recent changes
The
Score extension (<score> notation) has been re-enabled on public wikis and upgraded to a newer version. Some musical score functionality may no longer work because the extension is only enabled in "safe mode". The security issue has been fixed and an
advisory published.
Problems
You will be able to read but not edit
some wikis for a few minutes on 25 August. This will happen around
06:00 UTC. This is for database maintenance. During this time, operations on the CentralAuth will also not be possible.
Changes later this week
The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 August. It will be on all wikis from 26 August (
