== Question from [[User:TPen94|TPen94]] (20:34, 17 October 2023) == |
|||
Hi, I had a question regarding the primary sources and when it's appropriate to use them. Suppose I am editing a page about a novel, let's say on "Moby Dick". If I am editing the section that describes the plot of the book, am I allowed to reference the book itself? Or would I need to reference someone else, let's say a literary critique of the the book? --[[User:TPen94|TPen94]] ([[User talk:TPen94|talk]]) 20:34, 17 October 2023 (UTC) |

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 October. It will be on all wikis from 12 October (calendar).- Starting on Wednesday, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link" (Swahili Wikipedia, Walloon Wikipedia, Waray Wikipedia, Wolof Wikipedia, Kalmyk Wikipedia, Xhosa Wikipedia, Mingrelian Wikipedia, Yiddish Wikipedia, Yoruba Wikipedia, Zhuang Wikipedia, Zeelandic Wikipedia, Min Nan Wikipedia, Zulu Wikipedia). This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to more Wikipedias. The communities can configure how this feature works locally. [2]
- At some wikis, newcomers are suggested images from Commons to add to articles without any images. Starting on Tuesday, newcomers at these wikis will be able to add images to unillustrated article sections. The specific wikis are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table. You can learn more about this feature. [3]
In the mobile web skin (Minerva) the CSS ID #page-actionswill be replaced with#p-views. This change is to make it consistent with other skins and to improve support for gadgets and extensions in the mobile skin. A few gadgets may need to be updated; there are details and search-links in the task.
