Editor experience invitation
Hi DreamRimmer. :) I'm looking for people to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 16:36, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @Clovermoss, my bad, I completely forgot about it! I'll definitely add my responses when I have some time. By the way, I've created a shortcut from the project space Wikipedia:Editor reflections. This way, users can easily find this venue if they want to check out what other folks have stated. – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:13, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey, about the discussion on the talk page, I think we should start an RfC for the same since we need a detailed consensus for the box office tracking. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 11:54, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- @The Herald, Yeah. You should go for it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:13, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- I am thinking to put a notification out in WikiProject Film talk page before RfC. It might get more comments in the ICTF page. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 12:39, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
There is a mop reserved in your name
You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already! |
Maliner (talk) 14:12, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for reaching out! I've picked up a ton from awesome folks around me—MPGuy2824, Novem Linguae, Hey man im josh and Illusion Flame. Learning is an ongoing journey for me. While I'm not currently going for an RfA, I'm open to considering it in the near future if someone thinks I'd be a good fit and wants to nominate me. Appreciate your support! – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:44, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- I would say that edit count is good and all that's needed is a little more AfD expericence and tenure, I think in 3 months we have another budding administrator in our midst. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (he|she|they) 21:07, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Azem Hajdini
@DreamRimmer Hi, please can you make this draft: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Azem_Hajdini an article? Thanks ROBERTSHST (talk) 06:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- @ROBERTSHST, your draft has been submitted and it's waiting for a review. No need to stress, a reviewer will take a look soon. I quickly checked it out and noticed that most parts don't have sources or have weak ones. It'd be great if you could add sources to those parts or maybe think about removing them. – DreamRimmer (talk) 08:41, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer Hi, I have added enough sources for the parts of the article which they correspond to. The sources are enough. Since I corrected the translation after being translated incorrectly in the first writing, I think a reviewer should make it an article as soon as possible. Please ask an user to make it an article soon. ROBERTSHST (talk) 11:28, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer Hi, can you ask a reviewer to make this draft an article now? It has passed too much time since I created it, submitted it for review and after the decline I corrected it. Now I want from someone to make it an article. Thanks ROBERTSHST (talk) 15:59, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- @ROBERTSHST: I have noticed there are still quite a few unsourced paragraphs in it. Could you please take a moment to fix them? It's currently in the queue and will be reviewed anytime. – DreamRimmer (talk) 03:46, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer Hi, I added other sources and every paragraph has a source. Please review it again or ask an user/admin to review it and make it an article. Thanks ROBERTSHST (talk) 08:44, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Please look into it. Jay Kenechukwu (talk) 07:53, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Jay Kenechukwu: I've marked it as reviewed to remove it from the New Pages queue. Currently, the community is discussing its notability, and we'll wait for the consensus from the AfD discussion to decide what to do next. – DreamRimmer (talk) 08:29, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Communicating your edits to ArtiAdvice's
DreamRimmer, I believe that two posts about the same topic is a bit of overkill to ArtiAdvice. You did an excellent job of fully and adequately advising ArtiAdvice in both posts, making a second post unnecessary. It reminds me of what the neighborhood kids used to call "piling on" when we played football in the back yard. If you felt that your first post did not adequately cover what you wanted to communicate, the better choice would have been to edit that post to include the new information. We want to take care that we don't make our new editors feel beat upon in our efforts to instruct. I am sure that was not your intention. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. All the best, MarydaleEd (talk) 22:55, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-03
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
- Pages that use the JSON contentmodel will now use tabs instead of spaces for auto-indentation. This will significantly reduce the page size. [4]
- Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the
requiresES6
option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future. [5] - Bot passwords and owner-only OAuth consumers can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages. [6]
- You can now thank edits made by bots. [7]
- An update on the status of the Community Wishlist Survey for 2024 has been published. Please read and give your feedback.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar). [8][9]
- Starting on January 17, it will not be possible to login to Wikimedia wikis from some specific old versions of the Chrome browser (versions 51–66, released between 2016 and 2018). Additionally, users of iOS 12, or Safari on Mac OS 10.14, may need to login to each wiki separately. [10]
- The
jquery.cookie
module was deprecated and replaced with themediawiki.cookie
module last year. A script has now been run to replace any remaining uses, and this week the temporary alias will be removed. [11]
Future changes
- Wikimedia Deutschland is working to make reusing references easier. They are looking for people who are interested in participating in individual video calls for user research in January and February.

Incorrect Rollback
I like to inform you that the following rollback was incorrect [15]. The website of the described entity [16] uses clearly the writing I corrected it to, for example can be seen at the bottom at their copyright statement "© Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond 2024". Therefore, your rollback was incorrect as the current writing is neither as claimed in the dutch language nor used by the entity itself. So I would like to ask you to correct it. Thanks.--Maphry (talk) 17:53, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Maphry: All other cricket associations use 'Board,' so I assumed it should be 'Board' here as well. I've never come across the term 'Bond' being used in this context. I apologize if any time was wasted. Please feel free to restore your edit back. – DreamRimmer (talk) 18:05, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, yes it is unusal, caused that the dutch are one of the few who prefer their own language (beside the Danes) in their communication.--Maphry (talk) 18:07, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
