Recent changes
- Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 16 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for most languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [1][2]
Changes later this week
- If you merged two pages in a namespace where pages can't redirect this used to break the merge history. This will now be fixed. [3]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 November. It will be on all wikis from 19 November (calendar).
Future changes
- The Community Wishlist Survey is now open for proposals. The survey decides what the Community Tech team will work on. You can post proposals from 16 to 30 November. You can vote on proposals from 8 December to 21 December.

Nigerian Medical Students' Association
Could you comment on your decision to accept Nigerian Medical Students' Association out of AfC? While the organization does appear to be notable, the draft you accepted had significant NPOV issues as well as a few paragraphs of content directly lifted from copyrighted websites. signed, Rosguill talk 00:04, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Ah! Rosguill, I will confirm that my assessment of the article was really poor before accepting it, a reason I couldn't be able to figure out all that in the first place, thanks for all the corrections you made to the article. Regards. Em-mustapha 04:10, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- I'm a bit puzzled by your response. Are you saying that you couldn't tell that the article had NPOV issues? signed, Rosguill talk 16:51, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- No! What I mean was; although I have read the article my focus wasn't there, so I didn't see them, but just when I saw the corrections you made then the issues came out for me obviously. Em-mustapha talk 21:16, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Understood, no worries. signed, Rosguill talk 21:20, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

- Talktodamian (talk · contribs)
The article I created was declined for not meeting the notability guidelines. I think I did an indepth research of the subject before writing the article. can you be more specific on what you really want me to do. Thanks.
Talktodamian (talk) 14:35, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Talktodamian, It is there on the tag, "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article". Em-em talk 21:06, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

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. [14]
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. [15] - 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. [16]

Happy New Year
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Wikipedia_Happy_New_Year.png/250px-Wikipedia_Happy_New_Year.png)
Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) — is wishing you a Happy New Year! It's the last day of 2024 and tomorrow will be 2025. Hope the coming year brings pleasures for you. Have a prosperous, enjoyable and a productive 2025. This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Happy New Year, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Happy New Year! -- Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) 18:12, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Spread the New Year cheer by adding {{subst:New Year 2}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
- Thanks Pratyush.shrivastava! For the new year's wishes, I'm wishing you the same! Regards. –Em-em talk 19:53, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
RoadRunners or Roadrunners
Does MOSCAPs apply here? The team referred to themselves as the RoadRunners, with a capital R for Runners and no space between the words, as can be seen at their (archived) website. https://web.archive.org/web/20070520231538/http://www.phxroadrunners.com/# Should we not stick to the name and style the team themselves used? 194.28.124.55 (talk) 01:01, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- I hope you made this request! Diffs here! with the saying
..other teams that have used this name have their respective league in the page title, and there is nothing to say this is the most important Phoenix RoadRunners version - see Phoenix Roadrunners (disambiguation)
I moved the page uncontroversially but by dropping the 'R' to lower 'r' and without space in between, seeing that the same other teams use it that way, and also found refs like these [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23] etc. –Em-em talk 03:22, 7 January 2021 (UTC)- Sorry, my message on the page move request may have been a little confusing. The move to the {team name} (ECHL) was correct, as other team articles for other incarnations all had their respective leagues in brackets after their names, but only the ECHL version styled themselves as RoadRunners, the others all using the (correct!) Roadrunners.
- So with that in mind, should the page be moved to Phoenix RoadRunners (ECHL), or is that against the MOS?
- (Sorry for being a pain, trying to understand.) 194.28.124.55 (talk) 00:29, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Okay! Since your requested controversial move was declined, then you could start a request move discussion on the talk page of the article by including your rational with reliable sources that back your considerations. Thanks. –Em-em talk 07:27, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
