... to WP:QAI, - nice to meet you! Feel free to list articles for review on the project talk. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:30, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt, sure, thank you for running an amazing WikiProject. — DreamRimmer (talk) 15:17, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! - Thanks to Seiji Ozawa. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:44, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here (and QAI member). Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:58, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes

  • The WDQS Graph Split experiment is working and loaded onto 3 test servers.

Problems

  • There was a bug that affected the appearance of visited links when using mobile device to access wiki sites. It made the links appear black; this issue is fixed.

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar). [6][7]

2024 Jerusalem mayoral election

Re your comment that the external link is inappropriate, I checked the Wiki page and here is what applies to the links to New Deal and Hitorerut -- In other cases, such as for lists of political candidates and software, a list may be formatted as a table, and appropriate external links can be displayed compactly within the table:

Election results
Candidate Political party Official website Votes
Alice Republocrat https://www.example.com 51%
Bob Demican https://www.example.com 47%
Carol Greebertarian https://www.example.com 2%

Loves coffee (talk) 10:35, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Loves coffee: That link wasn't appropriate. Also, according to WP:ELPOINTS, adding external links into the body of an article isn't allowed, especially in the lead. Please don't do it again. DreamRimmer (talk) 10:46, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

blocked user pages

Oleg Pinchuk Yulia Yanina and other - are pages created by a blocked user Special:Contributions/Mykytal (bodiadub sockpuppet). Those pages are eligible for G5 speedy deletion. 2A02:810A:8E3F:FAA4:D45C:1A7E:10F2:80DD (talk) 17:16, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Andriy Smyrnov Viktor Andrukhiv Daria Zarivna Kovalska Industrial-Construction Group additional spam pages created in violation of the ban (G5) 2A02:810A:8E3F:FAA4:D45C:1A7E:10F2:80DD (talk) 17:17, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, they don’t meet the G5 criteria. According to WP:G5, when a blocked or banned person uses an alternate account (sockpuppet) to avoid a restriction, any pages created via the sock account after the earliest block or ban of any of that person's accounts qualify for G5 if not substantially edited by others. But, all these pages are substantially edited by other users. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:26, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gadgets are not impacted. If you have been affected or want to minimize the impact on your project, see this ticket. Please coordinate and take action proactively.
  • Newly auto-created accounts (the accounts you get when you visit a new wiki) now have the same local notification preferences as users who freshly register on that wiki. It is effected in four notification types listed in the task's description.

Question from Trex Bachelor (02:32, 20 February 2024)

Hello, what's editing on Wikipedia --Trex Bachelor (talk) 02:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Trex Bachelor, editing on Wikipedia is the process of making changes to articles on the website. This could involve fixing errors, adding information, or improving the overall quality of the content. Anyone can edit Wikipedia, but it’s important to follow the site’s guidelines and policies, such as citing reliable sources and maintaining a neutral point of view. – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:57, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-09

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 visual editor is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis. Research shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as well. [15]
  • The mw.config value wgGlobalGroups now only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is: if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups"))). [16]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be on all wikis from 29 February (calendar). [17][18]

Future changes

  • The right to change edit tags (changetags) will be removed from users in Wikimedia sites, keeping it by default for admins and bots only. Your community can ask to retain the old configuration on your wiki before this change happens. Please indicate in this ticket to keep it for your community before the end of March 2024.

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!

– PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 00:17, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly my thought @PharyngealImplosive7. @DreamRimmer could make a good sysop. I look forward to seeing this hat with them in nearby future. ─ Aafī (talk) 16:22, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm really pleased that some people are impressed with my work. I plan to do an ORFA in a month or two to listen to suggestions from others, and if anyone wants to nominate me, I'll definitely think about going for an RfA in the near future. Thanks. – DreamRimmer (talk) 03:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t know what DreamRimmer is waiting for :) You’re as a matter of fact the admin without tools. I am looking forward to seeing your RfA. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 08:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you feel confident enough, there is no harm in reaching out to someone privately for an assessment. Speak to someone who the community has respect for and try to look for any issues to iron out. If you do decide to run, good luck! The Knight Watch (talk) 23:49, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-10

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 Special:Book page (as well as the associated "Create a book" functionality) provided by the old Collection extension has been removed from all Wikisource wikis, as it was broken. This does not affect the ability to download normal books, which is provided by the Wikisource extension. [19]
  • Wikitech now uses the next-generation Parsoid wikitext parser by default to generate all pages in the Talk namespace. Report any problems on the Known Issues discussion page. You can use the ParserMigration extension to control the use of Parsoid; see the ParserMigration help documentation for more details.
  • Maintenance on etherpad is completed. If you encounter any issues, please indicate in this ticket.
  • Gadgets allow interface admins to create custom features with CSS and JavaScript. The Gadget and Gadget_definition namespaces and gadgets-definition-edit user right were reserved for an experiment in 2015, but were never used. These were visible on Special:Search and Special:ListGroupRights. The unused namespaces and user rights are now removed. No pages are moved, and no changes need to be made. [20]
  • A usability improvement to the "Add a citation" in Wikipedia workflow has been made, the insert button was moved to the popup header. [21]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 March. It will be on all wikis from 7 March (calendar). [22][23]

Future changes

  • All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [24]
  • The HTML markup of headings and section edit links will be changed later this year to improve accessibility. See Heading HTML changes for details. The new markup will be the same as in the new Parsoid wikitext parser. You can test your gadget or stylesheet with the new markup if you add ?useparsoid=1 to your URL (more info) or turn on Parsoid read views in your user options (more info).
