Recent changes

The software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering. [1]
The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
The HTML markup used for citations by Parsoid changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the mw-reference-text class, Parsoid now also adds the reference-text class for better compatibility with the legacy parser. More details are available. [2]

Problems

There was a bug with the Content Translation interface that caused the tools menus to appear in the wrong location. This has now been fixed. [3]

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 June. It will be on all wikis from 13 June (calendar). [4][5]
The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: Parsoid will now generate a <span class="mw-cite-backlink"> wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. More details are available. [6]
On multilingual wikis that use the <translate> system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community requests it. [7]

Read. I'll make some modifications to the regex and send it to the mailing list when possible. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 19:00, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Fractal Figment (13:29, 15 June 2024)[edit]

Hi Codename Noreste,

My first draft article was deleted by user Jimfbleak, who left a note on my talk page saying that it was deleted because I may have a conflict of interest. But I don't have any such conflict and had thought that my tone was pretty neutral. The article was for the book World on the Brink, so it necessarily contained a lot of content describing the book's arguments.

Do you have any tips for understanding how to adhere to the neutrality rule while summarizing the arguments made by a nonfiction book?

Thanks, Fractal Figment (talk) 13:29, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
