Latest *tech news
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News>* from the
Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes.
Not all changes will affect you. Translations
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2026/24> are
available.
*Weekly highlight*
- Wikimedia Enterprise has increased the free usage limits for its API
offerings. The monthly request limit for the On-demand API has increased
from 5,000 to 50,000 requests, while the Snapshot API limit has increase=
d
from 15 to 30 requests per month. In addition, Structured Contents
snapshots are now available for free accounts. These changes expand acce=
ss
to Wikimedia Enterprise data for developers, researchers, and organizati=
ons
using Wikimedia content. [1]
<https://enterprise.wikimedia.com/blog/enhanced-free-api>
*Updates for editors*
- The refreshed Explore Feed
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/E=
xplore_Feed_Refresh/Phase_1>,
now called the Home Feed, is rolling out to 50% of users of the Wikipedi=
a
Android app. The Home Feed helps readers discover relevant content throu=
gh
two new tabs: *Community* and *For You*. The Community tab provides a
scrollable feed of curated content and updates from the broader Wikimedi=
a
community and movement, while the *For You* tab offers a full-screen,
swipeable experience that shows content tailored to a user's interests. =
The
redesign is part of a broader effort to improve discovery and enhance th=
e
learning experience in the Wikipedia app.
- The Which came first?
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/i=
OS/%22Which_came_first%3F%22_Game>
daily
trivia game is now available in the beta version of the Wikipedia iOS ap=
p
in English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chines=
e,
and Turkish. The game uses historical events from Wikipedia's "On This D=
ay"
content and challenges readers to guess which of two events happened fir=
st.
The game was previously released on Android. Communities interested in
making the game available in their languages can read the instructions
and requirements

.
- Sub-referencing
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/WMDE_Technical_Wishe=
s/Sub-referencing>,
a new MediaWiki feature that allows editors to reuse references with
different details, will begin rolling out to Wikimedia wikis following a
successful pilot phase. Deployment will start on 8 June for most Group 1
wikis <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train#Wednesday> =
and
French Wikipedia, with additional Wikipedia language editions receiving =
the
feature over the coming months. Communities are encouraged to prepare by
checking for untranslated Cite extension messages
<https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=3DSpecial%3ATranslate&group=3De=
xt-cite&language=3Den&action_source=3Dsearch&filter=3D%21translated&optiona=
l=3D1&action=3Dtranslate>
in
their language and reviewing any use of Reference Tooltips
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Reference_Tooltips>,
which may require updates
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416304#11668731> to support the new
functionality. Wikis using Reference Previews
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Reference_Previe=
ws>
do
not need to take any action. Communities may also wish to create the
*cite-tracking-category-ref-details* tracking category
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:TrackingCategories> as a hidden
category using __HIDDENCAT__ (or a dedicated template), and connect it
to the corresponding Wikidata item d:Q129764848
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129764848>. [2]
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T425662>
- The Page Previews experiment
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Growth=
/Mobile_page_previews#Experimentation>
on
mobile web has concluded. The team decided not to roll out the feature
after the results showed no statistically significant impact on reader
retention, as the primary success metric was retention improvement. Page
Previews, which are already available on desktop and in the apps, displa=
y a
thumbnail, lead paragraph, and link to the full article when readers tap=
a
blue link. The experiment tested this experience on mobile web across si=
x
Wikipedias.
- The user interface icon library
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Codex/Design/Icons> w=
ill
be updated later this week or next week
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T399175>. Most of the ~300 icons have
been slightly refined and ~30 new icons have been added. These changes
improve the icons to make them more consistent and comprehensible, and
provide more visual balance when they are used in groups.
- The Universal Language Selector
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Language_Se=
lector>
(ULS)
interface in MediaWiki, which helps users select content in other
languages, has been updated. The new version improves speed and
accessibility, and users of Wikimedia projects can now pin languages for
quicker language switching. The deployment to Wikimedia sites will happe=
n
gradually in the coming weeks. You can test it now as a beta feature by
selecting beta features
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-beta=
features>
in
your profile preferences and share your feedback on the project page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Language_Se=
lector/New_ULS>
.
- View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently_r=
esolved_community_tasks>.
For example, an issue where the Pageviews Analysis dashboard on
pageviews.wmcloud.org stopped updating graph data in May 2026, affecting
all users, has been fixed. [3]
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T427171>
*Updates for technical contributors*
- The function signature for mw.util.addPortletLink() has been
simplified. Developers can now pass a configuration object instead of a
list of positional parameters when creating portlet links. The previous
function signature remains supported for backwards compatibility. For
example, instead of: mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', '#', 'Stub',
'ca-stubtag', 'Add a stub tag to this page'); use
mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions',
{ href: '#', text: 'Stub', id: 'ca-stubtag', tooltip: 'Add a stub tag to
this page' });. Script maintainers are encouraged to review existing
uses of addPortletLink() and update them where appropriate. This change
will be available on all wikis from 11 June. Thanks to community volunte=
er
Gerges for contributing this improvement. [4]
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T427945>
- *Community Wishlist discussion*: Product & Technology introduced
changes
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/U=
pdates#May_20,_2026:_Community_Tech_becomes_a_program>
meant
to increase the number and complexity of wishes fulfilled, including the
disbanding of the Community Tech team. They are engaging in discussions
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/U=
pdates>
about
a proposed direction for the wishlist
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_Wishlist#Proposed_direct=

from
community members. Includes ways to structure annual voting, better
tracking of wishes, removing focus areas, and staffing updates
