Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Tech News: 2021-40

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

A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them has been enabled for the following 10 wikis: mediawiki.org, the Italian, Catalan, Hebrew and Vietnamese Wikipedias, French Wikisource, and English Wikivoygage, Wikibooks, Wiktionary and Wikinews. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist on those wikis you can let the developers know.

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 October. It will be on all wikis from 7 October (calendar).
Some gadgets and bots that use the API to read the AbuseFilter log might break. The hidden property will no longer say an entry is implicit for unsuppressed log entries about suppressed edits. If your bot needs to know this, do a separate revision query. Additionally, the property will have the value false for visible entries; previously, it wasn't included in the response. [1]
A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them will be enabled for all production wikis. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist you can let the developers know.

Future changes

You can soon get cross-wiki notifications in the iOS Wikipedia app. You can also get notifications as push notifications. More notification updates will follow in later versions. [2]
The JavaScript variables wgExtraSignatureNamespaces, wgLegalTitleChars, and wgIllegalFileChars will soon be removed from mw.config. These are not part of the "stable" variables available for use in wiki JavaScript. [3]
The JavaScript variables wgCookiePrefix, wgCookieDomain, wgCookiePath, and wgCookieExpiration will soon be removed from mw.config. Scripts should instead use mw.cookie from the "mediawiki.cookie" module. [4]

Question from RJ Raawat (08:05, 8 October 2021)

Hi,

I want to make a page about NGO, is it possible for me? The non governmental organization is register with Indian Government. and it is also have certified from Income tax act of 80G and 12A. But I am not sure that it is enough to publish a page about this NGO. Pls help me --RJ Raawat (talk) 08:05, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @RJ Raawat generally speaking you will need to find several reliable sources which are independent of the subject, and discuss it in depth. (from Wikipedia's guideline on the notability of companies). If its only registered with the government that is almost certainly not enough to prove its a notable company. -- Asartea ^Talk ^| ^Contribs 08:26, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

: Active discussion on Playboy introduction

Hello Asartea. This is Zach from PLBY Group. You helped me with an edit request I made for the Playboy article a few months back. There's currently an active discussion I'm having with another editor on whether the introduction should identify Playboy as a lifestyle brand, in addition to its origins as a magazine. We're looking for some extra opinions, and I thought you might be willing to weigh in. If so, you can find the discussion here. Thanks! PLBY ZG (talk) 23:21, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I tried following your instructions, but it still doesn't work. deisenbe (talk) 10:21, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Deisenbe, fixed, you forgot a capital somewhere -- Asartea ^Talk ^| ^Contribs 11:10, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

After writing this I read in your introduction that I should have put it on my talk page. But that's not what the automated notice that closed the help request said.

Question from ASploopyPerson (21:15, 13 October 2021)

Hi. Was I automatically assigned to you as a mentee? You show up as my mentor in my homepage. I don't want to be of bother, otherwise. ASploopyPerson (talk) 21:15, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ASploopyPerson yes you were automatically assigned to me from the list of available mentors, so I opted in into getting questions, so you aren't bothering me. -- Asartea ^Talk ^| ^Contribs 05:29, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article on Nazia Hassan

User @Kasim8999 & @Limited Idea4me is vandalizing the facts. The marriage record provided on website can be added easily by paying some fee. And continuous editing the same thing again and again even after removing several time showing the criminal acts of users. These users can be easily judged that they are targeting Queen of hearts. Authentic media or newspaper never reported such marriage. A researcher and documentary maker on nazia hassan's life ahmad_haseeb never talked about such facts. It is very clear that article has been vandalized as personal target. Interestingly New York marriage records are mentioning Nazia's marriage with Ishtiaq baig but the marriage was took place at Pakistan and in London. New York marriages record keep the records of marriages that took place in New York only. Website resource is not authentic and it can be distorted for personal benefits.
