Blocking of Japan
Can I request a reason as why you have blocked Japanese mobile services from creating an account? Augu Maugu ♨ 04:12, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- i had a friend try to create an account the other day and a “This IP address range has been globally blocked” message appeared. Augu Maugu ♨ 04:15, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- @AuguMaugu: I can't give comment without knowing the IP range you speak of. "Japanese mobile services" is a major surface for IPs. -- Amanda (she/her) 17:21, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
DQB and usernames (not) longer than 40 chars
Minor bug report: DQB probably shouldn't consider "attempting to skip filter" for the 40 chars rule. (Example.) jlwoodwa (talk) 07:02, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Jlwoodwa: I don't get involved in the day to day administration of the blacklist used for the bot. You are looking for User talk:AmandaNP/UAA/Blacklist and the instructions are on that page. -- Amanda (she/her) 17:20, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-26
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
- Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions on the project talkpage. [1]
- The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode. [2]
Problems
- You can copy permanent links to talk page comments by clicking on a comment's timestamp. This feature did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug. [3]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 June. It will be on all wikis from 27 June (calendar). [4][5]- Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this feature on Diff or on Mediawiki.org. [6]

Bot error
Hi, It seems like your bot User:DeltaQuadBot made an error in WP:AIU. The name JustaFictionalGoogologist is fine, but your bot marked it as inappropriate. Thanks! Martintalk 02:34, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Martinc021: Please see the section above for instructions as I don't handle any of the day to day management of the filters it uses. -- Amanda (she/her) 02:45, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
