Technical news

  • Starting on November 4, the IP addresses of logged-out editors are no longer being publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account associated with their edits.
  • Administrators will now find that Special:MergeHistory is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start).

Editing team feature idea meeting on Thursday 18th

[edit]

Hiyo The Earwig. The Editing Team is working on a new Edit Check feature that will proactively suggest edits people can consider making. The team is calling the feature "Suggestion Mode."

We'd like to invite you to a discussion (in English, for this meeting) on 18th December to show an early prototype and talk about how it might be improved, expanded, and/or reconsidered. For this conversation, we're specifically interested in learning from folks like you who have direct experience with integrating edit suggestions and signals directly into editing workflows via scripts, gadgets, browser-extensions, etc.

We're hosting a meeting on Zoom this week (18 December at 17:00–18:00 UTC, the Zoom-link will be in mw:Editing team/Community Conversations) to demonstrate how we can currently integrate some existing editing suggestions, ask for feedback and ideas about other types of editing suggestions, and talk about the feedback loops we create to ensure these suggestions have reasonable false-positive rates.

You can see a short-list of examples that we've already compiled at mw:VisualEditor/Suggestion Mode, and if you have simple suggestions (or cannot attend the meeting) then we'd greatly appreciate your questions on the talkpage and idea additions to this longer listing of ideas. If you have ideas that are most easily demonstrated via screen-sharing in a video call, or want to discuss the ideas that already exist in that list, then we'd welcome your thoughts in the meeting. If you're not already familiar with Zoom, please see Working and convening remotely/Zoom for more information. You can optionally register your planned attendance at mw:Editing team/Community Conversations so that we know roughly how many folks to expect.

Please know: this will not be the last time we'll be asking people for feedback about the feature nor will it be the last meeting we host about it! Thanks, Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 00:09, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quick addition: If you're not able to come to the meeting at that time, you can try the tool using this userscript and there are four questions on the talkpage that we're most interested in your/tool-dev feedback on. Thanks again! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 23:27, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
