AIV error
Whatever you're up to, this is not the way to go about it. There is an OBVIOUS AIV issue here and the IPv6 editor has reported it appropriately. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:23, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Andy Dingley the initial report sent did not include anyone to report, and when I reverted for the second time only then he added in a person to report. Thought it was one of those IP's who mess up that page by sending duff reports. Class455fan1 (talk) 00:26, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- A look at the contribs history can clear this sort of thing up though. Maybe they totally bollocksed up the AIV posting, but they did have a good point to it and we should all try to help them out and get the broader goal met, not just find the small bureaucracy stuff to trip them up with. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:29, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Andy Dingley Right. All I saw on my diff browser was that there was no report there, or a description of why the user was being reported there. That's why I reverted. I was going to leave a message at their talk about what they were up to at AIV, but then I saw why the IP was reporting when he/she added the user in. It also seems that the IP has changed his report to another IP user! However, some people can make very easy errors on AIV. I once asked someone why they were removing reports from AIV, they replied it was done in error. The initial warning you gave me, I thought, was very harsh, but thanks for getting rid of it. I am one of those people who unintentionally make errors (and to find out why, looking at two of my user boxes may help). In this case I initially thought it was someone messing about, but turns out they were there for a reason only after the second time of asking. Class455fan1 (talk) 00:35, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

GCSEs
Happy studying and good luck! DBaK (talk) 22:10, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks! @DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered:! I really am not looking forward to the next few months, where all I'd be doing is sitting around doing revision. But at the end of it all, I can't wait for the long holiday that follows them! Class455fan1 (talk) 22:45, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yup, quite. But you do, as you say, have that lovely Y11 summer to follow ... again, good luck with it all. I'm sure you will be great. Best wishes DBaK (talk) 11:41, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

- Can you demonstrate how it passes WP:GNG? Also, the author has removed all the content. All I can find on the web about it are self-published. Class455fan1 (talk) 09:09, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
AfD vs PROD notice removal
Hi! I reverted two of your edits: [6][7] as this was a PROD and not an AfD template and the user can indeed remove it without explanation if they object. Just wanted to mention. Cheers. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 17:59, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for this @Hellknowz:. Just one question, can i place a PROD template using TW? Many thanks! Class455fan1 (talk) 14:54, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

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
- Thanks to the Graph extension and Pageview API, we now have {{Graph:PageViews}} templates that can show pageviews for any wiki page for any of the wikis. See the examples.
- The Capiunto extension is installed on test wiki. Capiunto provides flexible infobox functionality for Scribunto and generates HTML for infobox features such as headers and rows. It is designed for clean and modern infoboxes that are driven by data from Wikidata, easily usable across different language versions, and easily extensible.
- The visual editor now follows the TemplateData
format
setting announced in November. When you edit or add a use of a template, the wikitext will be laid out in one of the two ways. [8][9] - The order of parameters and format defined in a template's TemplateData will be now respected. [10][11]
Changes this week
- On wikis where the visual editor is available in single edit tab mode, red links may open the visual editor instead of the wikitext editor, depending on user preferences. [12]
- Anonymous editor warning is now displayed as a warningbox for consistency in both the visual editor and the wikitext editor. [13]
- Parsoid has been updated to fit some HTML 5 specifications. [14]
Meetings
- Resigning executive director Lila Tretikov is taking questions at Knowledge Engine FAQ regarding the much talked about project. [15]
You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

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
- Files on Wikimedia Commons can now be 2 GB big. The old limit was 1 GB. [16]
- Welcome notifications now have a different symbol. English Wikipedia already had this one. [17]
- The Wikimedia memory cache servers in the Eqiad cluster have now been upgraded to Debian 8 (Jessie). Some users might have had to log in again because of this. [18]
- It is now easier to categorize images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in the Commons Android app. [19]
Bare attributes in tags now parse according to the HTML5 specifications.
<pages from= to= section=1>
will parse as<pages from="to=" section="1">
instead of<pages from="" to="" section="1">
as it used to. Please use<pages from="" to="" section=1>
or<pages section=1>
instead. This is mostly likely to affect pages on Wikisource projects. [20]
Problems
- Phabricator has been a bit unstable lately. This should be fixed now. [21]
- The PageView API shows wrong data between 23 February and 29 February for pages with special characters in their title. [22]
- The parsing change mentioned above caused a large number of pages to break, especially on Wikisource. [23]
- You may see falsely formatted edit links on both mobile and desktop devices. Mobile devices can also show incorrect formatted table of contents. This should be fixed soon. [24]
- Templates using TemplateData that were edited with the visual editor might have some problems in wikitext mode. This can be fixed by editing and saving the page by using the visual editor without making any changes. [25]
Changes this week
- Cross-wiki notifications will be enabled as a beta feature on all wikis on 10 March. You will be able to get notifications when something happens on another Wikimedia wiki. [26]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 March. It will be on all wikis from 10 March (calendar).
- Wikivoyages will get the Kartographer extension. Kartographer will allow
<mapframe>
and<maplink>
tags in an article to insert an interactive map and overlay it with different markers. You can add ideas and suggestions to the Maps talk page. If you find any bugs, you can report them in Phabricator. [27]
Meetings
You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 8 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones. [28]
- The Wikimedia technical operations team plans to do some server work on 22 March. This could cause some problems, for example make it possible to read but not edit the Wikimedia wikis for a short period of time. The date for this might change. [29]

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
- The mobile web interface no longer suggests HiDPI thumbnails. This is to take up less bandwidth on slow or expensive connections. [30]
- The search engine on wikipedia.org has been updated. [31]
Changes this week
- Wikimedia has a new backup data center in Dallas. Because of planned work on this, you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for a short period of time on both 22 March and 24 March. This could be postponed to April 18. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. Because of a test, there will also be a couple of minutes where you can't edit the wikis on 15 March starting 07:00 UTC. You can read more about the server work. There will be more notifications and updates about this.
- Administrators and other users with advanced permissions will need to have an 8-byte long passwords. This change takes place on 15 March. Users with too short passwords will be asked to change password the next time they log in. This was decided in a discussion on Meta and is because they can use tools that can hurt the wikis. [32]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 March. It will be on all wikis from 17 March (calendar).
- The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones. [33]
