PERMClerk job
[edit]It looks like MusikBot's PERMClerk job might be stuck. There are quite a few completed requests that should be archived, but for some reason, the bot isn't doing that. The last time it took any action on the relevant pages was back on 7 October. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:56, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Fixed This was apparently yet another Toolforge hiccup. The job was stuck. I simply killed it and all seems to be fine now. Thanks for letting me know, — MusikAnimal talk 19:51, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 00:41, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
Pinocchio (1940)
[edit]The phrase in the plot section of the article of Pinocchio (1940) is incorrect. It's "In search FOR Pinocchio", not "of Pinocchio". They kept reverting the same error for no reason. 151.46.70.7 (talk) 10:00, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Suggestion/feature request/whatever
[edit]@JJMC89: It would be cool if the CopyPatrolBot could ignore sections with a title like "selected works/selected articles/publications/whatever". Such sections often contain the titles of published works and the copyvio detector detects that those have also been listed elsewhere which leads to a false positive. Here is an example. Thanks, Polygnotus (talk) 13:40, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-42
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [1][2]
- WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [3]
- View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.
Updates for technical contributors
- Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [4]
- Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed. [5]
Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a <bdi>element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time. [6]
In depth
