Revision as of 04:20, 25 October 2020
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

The article Hendry Antonay has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Footballer who fails GNG and NFOOTY
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. BlameRuiner (talk) 13:56, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
Your recent edits
You have created a large number of articles about non-notable footballers. Please review WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. A player needs to have played in a fully-professional league (being a squad member is not enough!) and/or receive significant coverage to be notable. GiantSnowman 09:22, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
- No, for example, Juan Mera González has not played in a league listed at WP:FPL has he? You are either lying or mistaken - which is it? WP:CIR. GiantSnowman 11:38, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
Nomination of Hendry Antonay for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Hendry Antonay is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hendry Antonay until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. GiantSnowman 09:25, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
The article Juan Mera González has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Advice
SHISHIR DUA: Hi, I'm pleased to see someone with so much enthusiasm. But I do agree with GiantSnowman that it's a bit early for you to be seeking adminship. I assume you have read the Advice for RfA candidates? Note there that six months is the absolute minimum length of time on Wikipedia that most editors expect a candidate to have, and that an admin is expected to be familiar with Wikipedia policy and conventions; an important part of the job is explaining it to others. You need to start signing all your posts on noticeboards and talk pages (either type four tildes, ~~~~, or click the symbol for signature), and since you have had a lot of articles either PRODded or nominated at AfD, your knowledge of our notability criteria appears to be weak; start with those and go from there in learning about how we do things and why. I suggest you then ask for advice at this page—also mentioned on the Advice for candidates page—experienced Wikipedians can advise you there on ways to improve your editing before running for adminship. Finally, I looked at your user page and I note your date of birth. This is a piece of information you may not want to have posted publicly for privacy reasons (if you want, an admin can delete it so that only other admins, or only those with the "suppress" right, can see it in the page history; just ask for whichever you want). In any case, we have a page of advice for younger Wikipedians; have you read it? Yngvadottir (talk) 16:43, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
How to add citation
Please go through WP:CS to get educated about citation and how to add a citation in an article. You recent edit at the ISL 2019-20 articles id shows not a proper way of citing source. I would ask you please go through the guidelines, it will help you in future editing. Thank you. Dey subrata (talk) 22:13, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
List of 2019–20 Indian Super League season roster changes
Hi Shishir Dua, I've removed your good article nomination from List of 2019–20 Indian Super League season roster changes. As a list, it is only eligible to be nominated as a featured list rather than a GA, thanks. Kosack (talk) 06:27, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- Good work on the article, but you need to read more about featured articles before nominating it. Read about it on Wikipedia:Featured articles Coderzombie (talk) 08:23, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest
US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

The Wikipeida Adventure!
Hi greetings, I'm recommending you to participate in The Wikipedia Adventure. It is a nice guide to New wikipedians. I'm strongly recommending you to participate in it. It will increase your editing quality and give basic policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. You should have learn about basic policies of Notability, Verifiability, Reliability, Neutrality, etc. TWA is better for it. Thank you.--PATH SLOPU 15:40, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
Indentation
Hi greetings, I would like to share you some information about indentation in discussions. Good indentation makes prolonged discussions easier to read and understand. When you reply to a comment you should be indented beneath that comment using :
(colon) in the left of your reply. Also when replying to another comment beneath a comment (with one ":
") you can use two colons("::
") and so on. Happy editing. Regards.--PATH SLOPU 13:30, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Draft:SD7 concern
Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:SD7, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.
Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:32, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
Adminship
Hi. If you are considering being nominated for adminship, there are two things you should absolutely do first if you wish to avoid any disappointment:
- Read and thoroughly understand WP:RFAADVICE
- Start a poll at WP:ORCP.

Explaining my edit
Hi SHISHIR DUA, I wanted to explain why I reverted your edit here. The sentence in the Wikipedia article talked about an investigation from 2006 carried out by a Swiss bank, while the source you added described a different study. It might be relevant to add something about that study as well, because it is much newer (and it still includes Oslo), but the source you added can't be added to the article as it is written now. I hope that makes sense. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 07:12, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Just wanted to point out that Geni and FindAGrave are unreliable user-generated sources, so we can't use them as sources. – Thjarkur (talk) 10:58, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- It perhaps goes without saying, but you should also be careful that the sources you consult refer to the person you're writing about. The Peder Mortensen that died in 1866 obviously was not publishing books in 1982. – Joe (talk) 11:52, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom 2019 election voter message
note on your edit to Aldonza Alfonso de León
Hi SHISHIR DUA. I wanted to leave a note about reverting this edit you made to Aldonza Alfonso de León. It appears you had copied much of the content from the Spanish language article. I appreciate your attempt to improve the article, but it did break many templates, and looked quite messy. I welcome you to continue to contribute to the page, but please use the page preview before publishing any changes, to ensure nothing breaks when you add content.
Please feel free to reach out with questions. I also welcome you to visit the Wikipedia Teahouse for advice or questions. = paul2520 (talk) 19:48, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

GA nom
Hi, as I pointed out the first time you nominated it, List of 2019–20 Indian Super League season roster changes should be nominated as a featured list not a good article if you wish to seek promotion as this is a separate criteria for list articles. However, I would ensure you understand the criteria before doing so, in its current form I don't believe it would pass. You have next to no actual prose included.

Alright guy thanks for pointing out the requirements of article SHISHIR DUA (talk) 09:43, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- I have reverted your talk page edit for the same reason Dey Subrata did. Please do not remove other user's talk page comments without their consent. Also, please ensure you understand the importance rating criteria of the relevant WikiProjects, for example the article would not be considered a high importance rating in the Football and Indian WikiProjects. Thanks. Kosack (talk) 07:15, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Cricket infoboxes
Hello. Please read the documentation for infobox cricketer. Of note is that per the infobox documentation we only add teams when the player has actually played a match for them. That means we don't add them if they were just in a squad or if they might play for them in the following year.
As an example of why this is important, players may be injured prior to a tournament and be unable to play in it. Or the tournament may be cancelled entirely.
Please ensure that you follow the requirements of the infobox documentation Thank you. Blue Square Thing (talk) 06:09, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Your cut and paste page move has been reversed
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Víctor Pérez Alonso a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Víctor Pérez (footballer). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 16:07, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Adding non licensed photos
It would be really a contribution if you add photos of Indian footballers in wikimedia.As we can see ,for current Indian Nationals,only Sunil Chetri have a photo in his wikipedia page.Since you are a contributor in wikimedia I hope you can find a solution to this. Shahoodu (talk) 05:07, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi SHISHIR DUA, thank you for creating the article Bo Augustsson a few months ago! Unfortunately, there were some factual errors in the article – some that were probably caused by automatic translations from the Swedish article, or misunderstandings of what that article said, and some that were a bit odd. For instance, where does the information that he was born in Gärds Köpinge come from? It is a very tiny little village in the same region of Sweden (but not the same municipality) as Mala, where several different sources sources say he grew up – but none of them mention Gärds Köpinge at all. I have spent some time looking for other sources for this, but can't find a single one, other than websites copying their info straight from Wikipedia. I also wonder where you've seen his birth date, which has no source – unless it is in the hd.se source which I don't have access to. Anyway, I've fixed the errors, removed some unsourced claims and added some other sourced information, so other than the birth date I don't think the article has any particular issues right now. Happy editing, --bonadea contributions talk 14:20, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Recent changes
- Users can thank others for their edits. Checkusers can now see user data related to that action. This can help identify sock puppets who harass others using thanks. [1]
Problems
- Everyone was logged out a couple of weeks ago to fix a security problem. The problem was not entirely fixed. Because of this everyone was logged out once again last week. [2][3]
Changes later this week
- Wikis that are not for one specific language can translate pages. Sometimes parts of translations are outdated or missing. Outdated translations are marked with a pink background. Missing translations will also be marked in the future. This markup can sometimes break things. It can soon be disabled by using
<translate nowrap></translate>
on the source page. [4] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 July. It will be on all wikis from 16 July (calendar).

Recent changes
- A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. The mobile main page special casing stopped working 14 July. 60 wikis now have main pages that don't work well on mobile. You can see which ones, how to fix it and how to get help in Phabricator. This is the same problem that was reported in Tech News 2020/24 and 2020/26.
Problems
- There is a problem with the interlanguage links. The interlanguage links are the links that help you find a specific page in a different language. The sorting is broken. The developers are working on a solution. [9]
- Some users keep getting the notifications for the same event. Some of these are old events. [10]
- Some users have trouble logging in. This is probably a browser cookie problem. The developers are working on understanding the problem. If you have trouble logging in you can see the details on Phabricator. [11]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 July. It will be on all wikis from 23 July (calendar).
Future changes
- There is a
Printable version
link. This will disappear. That is because web browsers today can create a printable version or show how it will look in print anyway. [12]

Recent changes
- The Starter kit is now available for wiki communities. This page lists technical resources, tools, and recommendations. These are essential to operate a wiki project. This is mostly useful for smaller wikis where the community has limited experience with this. [13]
- The first features of the Desktop Improvements project are available for logged-in users on all wikis. In order to use them, uncheck Use Legacy Vector in your local or global preferences in section Skin preferences. More improvements are planned. Feedback is welcome.
- On multiple wikis, a UTCLiveClock gadget is available. For wikis that import the gadget directly from mediawiki.org, end users can now choose a different timezone to show instead of UTC.
Problems
- The deployment train for MediaWiki has been blocked this week. [14][15]
- Translation Notification Bot was sending the same message multiple times to every translator. This has been fixed. [16]
- Some users were receiving the same notification multiple times. This has been fixed. [17]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from July 28. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from July 29. It will be on all wikis from JUly 30 (calendar).

Problems
- All queries to the Wikidata Query Service failed between 17:50 and 17:59 UTC on Thursday 23 July. Some queries failed during a longer period. [18]
- Interlanguage links were ordered incorrectly for the past few weeks. This problem was also mentioned in Tech News two weeks ago. The problem is now fixed. [19]
- There is a problem with the global preferences for the "Use Legacy Vector" option. Developers are working on fixing it. [20]
- A bug in the Wikibase extension had disabled the "move" and "create" types of protection in the main (Gallery) namespace on Wikimedia Commons. New protections could not be added, and existing protections were not enforced, allowing some page moves and page creations that should not have been possible. This has now been fixed. [21]
Changes later this week
- The video player will change to be simpler and more modern. This week, the current beta feature will become the video player for everyone on most non-Wikipedia wikis. The old player will be removed. [22]
- Users'
global.js
andglobal.css
pages will now also be loaded on the mobile site. You can read documentation for how to avoid applying styles to the mobile skin. [23] - In the MonoBook skin, the
searchGoButton
identifier is nowsearchButton
. This may affect CSS and JS gadgets. Migration instructions can be found in T255953. This was previously mentioned in issue 27. - Bot operators can use Pywikibot to regularly archive discussions. The behavior when the bot uses
counter
to prevent large archives was changed. [24] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from August 4. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from August 5. It will be on all wikis from August 6 (calendar).

- If you revert an edit using the undo link your edit is marked with an

tag. This will now only happen if you don't change anything in the edit window before publishing the undo. This is to keep users from marking edits as undos when they actually do something else. [29] - The new OOUI version will not work with Internet Explorer 8. This means the wikis will look strange and not work well in Internet Explorer 8. This was reported in Tech/News/2020/17. This is because keeping the wikis working with very old browsers creates other problems. [30]

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
- Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
- HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
- Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.
Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

- Normally pages can be moved to a title that has no existing page yet or to a page that has only one revision, which is a redirect to the page to be moved. A new user right allows editors to move pages over one-revision pages that redirect to anywhere. [35]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 September. It will be on all wikis from 10 September (calendar).
- All MediaWiki API modules will now use
watchlist
instead ofwatch
. This was inconsistent before. [36]
Future changes
- The Wikipedia Android app team might work on patrolling tools in the future. You can let them know what tools would be useful for you or for less experienced patrollers. See the page on mediawiki.org.
- OTRS will be updated to a new version. This will probably take around two days. OTRS agents will not have access to the system during these days. Emails that come in during the update will be delivered when the update is done. The plan is to start around 08:00 UTC on 14 September. This could change. [37]
- The Wikipedia Android app will send push notifications if users want them. This could help you see for example when someone wrote on your talk page or your edit was reverted. This will need Google Play Services to work. It will also be possible to get the app without Google Play Services but push notifications will not work. Google Play Services is also used to make the app work for Android 4.4 users. [38][39]
- Wikimedia code review could move to GitLab. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers. You can take part in the consultation.
- Dropdown menus in the Vector skin use a
.menu
class. This will not work in the future. Scripts can usenav ul
instead..vectorTabs
and.vectorMenu
will also not work. Some scripts need to be updated. You can read more in Phabricator.

Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter
Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2020. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Election reminder: our end-of-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 December. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: An uncorrected typo (even copy editors make copy editing mistakes!) led to an eight-day "leap blitz" from 14 to 21 June, focusing on requests and articles tagged in May. 19 participating editors claimed 54 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Over 750,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event, keeping pace with the previous three self-isolated drives. Of the 38 people who signed up, 30 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 16 to 22 August, we copy edited articles tagged in June and July 2020 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 37 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Baffle gab1978, Tdslk, Twofingered Typist, and first-time coordinator Puddleglum2.0. Reidgreg took a break after serving for a couple years. Thanks to everyone who participated! Progress report: As of 01:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 532 requests since 1 January and there were 38 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978, Puddleglum2.0, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

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
- There is a new tag for reverted edits. For example you can see it in the recent changes feed or in the article history. It is added to edits when they have been undone, rollbacked or manually reverted to an older version of the page. [42][43]
Changes later this week
- The number of times you can do something in a period of time on wiki is limited. This could be the number of edits per minute or the number of users you email in a day. Some users are not affected by all limits because of their user rights. They could soon see the limit even if it does not affect them. [44]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 September. It will be on all wikis from 24 September (calendar).

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
- Admins can now see links to diffs of deleted revisions on Special:AbuseLog. This uses the interface of Special:Undelete. [45]
- Editors are automatically added to some user groups. For example editors are added to autoconfirmed users when they have edited enough times and long enough. Abuse filters can hinder users from automatically getting user rights for a period of time. They can also remove rights user have. Wikis can now ask to change how long this period of time is for their wiki in Phabricator. It is currently five days. [46]
Problems
- Last year some abuse filters stopped working because of a new change. If they tried to use variables that were unavailable for that action they would fail. This has now been fixed. [47]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 September. It will be on all wikis from 1 October (calendar).
Future changes
- You can't see the language links to other language versions from the talk page or history page. They are also not shown when you edit an article. This could change. It is not decided if for example the history page should link to another history page or to the article. You can take part in the discussion in Phabricator.
- The link colours could change. This is to make the difference between links and other text more clear. You can read more in Phabricator.
- In your preferences you can choose to get different notifications on the web or by email. You will see
Apps
as one of the alternatives later this week. This is because the Android and iOS Wikipedia apps will use push notifications for those who want them. You can see the preferences on the test wiki. The goal is to have push notifications on Android in October and on iOS in early 2021. [48] - You can soon put pages on your watchlist for a limited time. This could be useful if you want to watch something for a shorter time but don't want it on your watchlist forever. It now works on mediawiki.org and will come to more wikis later. You can read more and see when it will come to other wikis.
- You can see what Wikimedians think are the best new technical tools this year. You can also nominate them.

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
- There is a new tool where you can see which home wiki users have in discussions on Meta. This can help show which communities are not part of the discussion on wikis where we make decisions that affect many other wikis.
- You can now thank users for file uploads or for changing the language of a page. [49]
Problems
- There were many errors with the new MediaWiki version last week. The new version was rolled back. Updates that should have happened last week are late. [50]
- Everyone was logged out. This was because a user reported being logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now. [51]
- Many pages have JavaScript errors. You can read more and now see a list of user scripts with errors.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 October. It will be on all wikis from 8 October (calendar).
- Letters immediately after a link are shown as part of the link. For example the entire word in
[[Child]]ren
is linked. On Arabic wikis this works at both the start and end of a word. Previously on Arabic wikis numbers and other non-letter Unicode characters were shown as part of the link at the start of a word but not at the end. Now only Latin and Arabic letters will extend links on Arabic wikis. [52]
Future changes
- You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on 27 October around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [53]

Problems
- Because of the problems with the MediaWiki version two weeks ago last week's updates are also late. [54][55][56]

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:24, 12 October 2020 (UTC)SHISHIR DUA (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I profoundly apologize for inconvenience and absurd thing so caused. I solemn to abide by the policies and regulations stipulated by Wikipedia. I vow you to eliminate all of these in future. Please for the last time unblock me. This time I mean it. Please for the sake of Jesus uplift it for the last time. I solemn to eliminate vandalism and disruption if caused earlier. Please don't take my other issues into account as I worked on most of them if left I'll. Conclusively, Please endow a last chance.
Decline reason:
This reads like you're using Google Translate. You might consider working on Wikipedia in your native language, where you'll probably have an easier time understanding the policies and writing coherently. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:06, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Sir, English is indeed my native language as I've spent my childhood in the US. Also I don't Google translate a decent translator at all. Sir please endow me with unblock at once. SHISHIR DUA 16:42, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- I'd really like to unblock you, but you really need to tell us how your editing was disruptive and how you would do things differently. And with simple unornamented English. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:25, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
Sir I'll use simple language I promise. I was considering my edits disruptive otherwise won't have blocked. Please unblock me. SHISHIR DUA 02:53, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

- In the AbuseFilter extension, the
rmspecials()
function will be updated soon so that it does not remove the "space" character. Wikis are advised to wrap all the uses ofrmspecials()
withrmwhitespace()
wherever necessary to keep filters' behavior unchanged. You can use the search function on Special:AbuseFilter to locate its usage. [61] - Some gadgets and user-scripts use the HTML div with the ID
#jump-to-nav
. This div will be removed soon. Maintainers should replace these uses with either#siteSub
or#mw-content-text
. A list of affected scripts is at the top of phab:T265373.

UTRS
This user has been abusing WP:UTRS and has been unwilling to follow the simple directions provided there. This should count against any future unblock request. --Yamla (talk) 12:38, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

I've also read WP:Block.

UTRS 36164
UTRS appeal #36164 is now close. My response is copied below.
I'm sorry, but as you have repeatedly inadequately addressed the reasons for your block, and by a consensus of reviewing admins, you are now ineligible for consideration at UTRS until six months from now. This has been an open-book test. All the policies and guidelines relating to correcting the problems you encountered and created are there for the reading. Even so, I see no indication of you actually understanding what to do and what to not do. It comes across that you don't really understand the manner in which your edits were wrong, so you cannot help but repeat them. Please consider spending that time constructively and collegially editing other Wikimedia projects and other versions of Wikipedia. Please do not evade your block or use sock puppets. After at least six months of constructive, collegial editing have passed, you may again request unblocking. Please describe in greater detail how your editing was unconstructive and how you would edit constructively if unblocked Please read Wikipedia's Guide to appealing blocks for more information. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks)
--Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:28, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
@Deepfriedokra: Sir, The disruption I caused was in the manner that I added a player who was sign'd according to unofficial sources and this resulted in disruption. Now I'll be careful of it. But also wanna furnish ESPN is a decent stuff a/c to which I added adam le fondre on ISL page which resulted into threats to block me and when I cited this on ANI you, for decent reasons, blocked me. I profoundly admire the decision of yours. All I cited was the disruption. Now I solemn that I've developed competence on the advice of you and other wikipedians. Sir please unblock me. Please for the last time unblock me. This time I mean it. Please for the sake of Jesus uplift it for the last time. I solemn to eliminate vandalism and disruption if caused earlier. Please don't take my other issues into account as I worked on most of them if left I'll. Conclusively, Please endow a last chance. SHISHIR DUA 04:20, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
