About my own work

@Ratekreel The file File:Dorel-popa-senator-arad-2008.jpg was uploaded also on stareanatiunii.com when Dorel Popa has died, but this website is no longer exists, why you don't verify this fact? Fdanielbic (talk) 11:02, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Fdanielbic, I did notice that the website no longer exists, but that is not the point here. For the image to be hosted here, it must have a free licence from its copyright holder. However, since it was available on the internet before being published to Wikimedia Commons, with a different copyright holder attributed, the file must be vetted through COM:VRT to ascertain its true copyright holder, who must be willing to issue a free licence. Then, only the file can be hosted here. --Ratekreel (talk) 11:13, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

But how do you know who the authors were on the site that no longer exists? One of them was me! Fdanielbic (talk) 13:38, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-28

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

Updates for editors

• View all 34 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the search bar results on Wikidata, showed English results instead of using the correct language fallback for users of language variants, has now been fixed. Search suggestions will now follow the expected language fallback chain. [1]

Updates for technical contributors

• In preparation for Celebrate Women campaign planned for March 2027, the Wikimedia Foundation’s Content Enablement team has launched a 22-question survey to better understand technical contributions by women+ (anyone who identifies as a woman) across Wikimedia projects. The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete and will remain open until 20 July 2026. The questions are also available on-wiki for review in advance.
• The Score extension now supports rendering music scores as SVG images in addition to PNG, addressing a long-standing feature request and resolving historical image quality issues. Both formats are now provided to clients, with PNG in the src attribute and SVG in the srcset attribute.
• The new Parsoid parser continues to be deployed to additional wikis, making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. It was enabled on French Wikipedia, bringing total progress to covering 78.9% of Wikipedia page views. Rollout to English Wikipedia desktop will progress through this week.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

• The Wikimedia Hackathon 2026 recap blog post is now live. It highlights the projects, sessions, and social activities from this year’s event, and shares initial plans for the 2027 Wikimedia Hackathon.
