Wikipedia translation of the week: 2020-32
The winner this Translation of the week is en:Child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Please be bold and help to translation this article!  During the first and second civil conflicts which took place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), all sides involved in the war actively recruited child soldiers, known locally as Kadogos which is a Swahili term meaning "little ones". It has been estimated that the militia led by Thomas Lubanga Dyilo was 30 percent children. In 2011 30,000 children were still operating with armed groups. The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), released a report in 2013 which stated that between 1 January 2012 and 31 August 2013 up to 1,000 children had been recruited by armed groups, and described the recruitment of child soldiers as "endemic". (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

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

Problems
- The mobile skin displays a message at the bottom of the page about who edited last. This message showed raw wikitext. This has now been fixed. Some messages in Structured Discussions and content translation may still appear as raw wikitext. Developers are working on it. [9]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from August 11. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from August 12. It will be on all wikis from August 13 (calendar).
Future changes
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 13:30 and 15:30 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [10][11]

最近更改
- 如果您透過撤銷連結來回退編輯，您的編輯會標記
撤銷標籤；現在起只有您沒有在發布前修改編輯框內的任何內容才會標記，這是為了防止使用者實際上進行其他操作的編輯被標記為撤銷。 [12] - 新的OOUI版本將無法在Internet Explorer 8上運作，這表示維基將在Internet Explorer 8上看起來奇怪而且無法運作地很好。這已在2020年第17期技術新聞中提過，要讓維基在非常舊的瀏覽器上運作將會導致其他問題。 [13]

Editing news 2020 #4
回复工具
自2020年3月31日起，回复工具已作为测试功能在阿拉伯语、德语、法语和匈牙利语维基百科可用。初始分析便显示较好的结果。
- 在这四个维基百科中，超过三百位编辑人员使用了回复工具。在此学习使用阶段，他们张贴了超过7400条回复。
- 使用了回复工具的人员中，约有超过70%多次使用该工具。约60%在多日内使用了该工具。
- 来自维基百科编辑人员的反馈是正面的。有人说：أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة.("我觉得这工具影响巨大，节省时间。以前想要做出回复，需要用鼠标移动到编辑链接去编辑部分选区或整页，通常距离评论比较远。现在用户可快速移动到编辑窗使用回复工具。")[16]
在八月初，编辑团队在其他八个维基百科将回复工具作为测试功能推出了。那些维基百科是中文、捷克语、格鲁吉亚语、塞尔维亚语、中库尔德语、瑞典语、加泰罗尼亚语和韩语维基百科。 如果你想在自己的维基上使用回复工具，请联系User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)。
回复工具正处在积极开发的阶段。 根据德语维基百科及其他编辑人员的请求，你将可以 自定义编辑概要。（默认编辑概要是“回复”。） 在回复工具的可视化编辑模式中，“ping”功能是可用的。这个功能搜索用户名。根据阿拉伯语维基百科的请求，每个维基百科均可以设置自己想要的符号来ping编辑人员。 根据来自日语及匈牙利语维基百科的请求，每个维基均可在页面中MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix定义自己想要的签名前缀。例如，有些语言忽略签名前的空格。其他社群想要加个连接号或不换行空格。
使用者签名的新要求
- 使用者签名的新要求始于2020年7月6日。如果你尝试创建一个不符合新要求的自定义签名，你会收到报错信息。
- 现存的不符合新要求的自定义签名将暂时不受影响。最终，所有的自定义签名将需要满足新要求。 你可以查看你的签名，查看需要更正自定义签名的活跃编辑人员列表。 志愿者已经在联系需要更改自定义签名的编辑人员。如果你需要更改你的自定义签名，请阅读帮助页面。
下一步：新讨论工具
下一步，团队将工作于一个能快速、简易在讨论页面开始新讨论的工具。 要追踪这个新工具的开发状况，请将新讨论工具项目页面放入你的监视列表。
