Dear MusikAnimal, |
|||
I recently drafted my first article for Wikipedia, and when it was deleted almost at once, I was referred to a list of Users who could help reinstate the deleted draft for me. I clicked on your name more or less at random (though as a musician myself I was drawn to it). So I was trying to follow the directions carefully, and thought I was creating a draft that I would be able to come back to and keep working on before actually submitting it for review. But it seems to have gotten deleted before I could even get to the next step with it. It's not a vanity or promotion piece, and there's quite a bit more to do in terms of sourcing and documentation. Any help you might be able to give me would be much appreciated. All best wishes to you. [[User:Joseph1772|Joseph1772]] ([[User talk:Joseph1772|talk]]) 16:17, 22 December 2020 (UTC) |

TAFI template errors remain
Hi Sdkb and MusikAnimal: Just a heads up to those involved, Template:AFI/Collaborations of the day is goofed up, with a big red link atop, because it has not been configured with the new project name. It seems that the bot is involved with this, so posting here. North America1000 06:27, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 19
News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (December 2020).
Hello everyone and welcome to the 19th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:
|
- Voting in the m:Community Wishlist Survey 2021 is ongoing until December 21, 2020. There are 15 proposals in the "bots and gadgets" category that may be of interest.
- A script to help list discussions at WP:ANRFC (request)
- A script to allow undoing edits despite conflicting intermediary edits (request)
- ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests
- The Watchlist Expiry feature worked on by the Community Tech team has been enabled on Wikipedia. For scripts that include watching or unwatching pages, developers may want to update their code to take advantage of the new functionality. See the documentation on mediawiki.org.
- As noted in the prior issue, Enterprisey's links-in-logs script has now been implemented as part of MediaWiki core. By my count, this is his third script that was replaced by implementing the code in MediaWiki core or an extension, along with link-section-edits and abusefilter-hide-search. Additionally, his reply-link script is being converted in part to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools. Are there any other scripts that might be worth integrating directly in MediaWiki? Thoughts would be welcome at Wikipedia talk:Scripts++.
As always, if anyone else would like to contribute, help is appreciated. Stay safe, and happy holidays! --DannyS712 (talk) 00:19, 18 December 2020 (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.
Tech News
- Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 11 January 2021.
Recent changes
- The
{{citation needed}}
template shows when a statement in a Wikipedia article needs a source. If you click on it when you edit with the visual editor there is a popup that explains this. Now it can also show the reason and when it was added. [1]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
Future changes
- You can propose and discuss what technical improvements should be done for geographic information. This could be coordinates, maps or other related things.
- Some wikis use LanguageConverter to switch between writing systems or variants of a language. This can only be done for the entire page. There will be a
<langconvert>
tag that can convert a piece of text on a page. [2] - Oversighters and stewards can hide entries in Special:AbuseLog. They can soon hide multiple entries at once using checkboxes. This works like hiding normal edits. It will happen in early January. [3]
