Muizzu

Hi

Solih decision is after Majlis's decision. Do you have english source? We need translated source. Panam2014 (talk) 14:42, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Nope. Solih's decision was in a press meeting held on the morning of October 2. The People's Majlis officially announced the date at around 11:15 AM the same day. Also, Solih said that "his administration is pursuing legal avenues to ensure a seamless transition of power to the president-elect on November 11, 2023, without any legal hindrances". They have not yet announced if the inauguration is preponed. It's not up to the president to choose a date for the inauguration. That is done by the parliament and as of today, the inauguration is still set for the 17th. -- EN-Jungwon 15:19, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
But parliament have not rejected Solih's decision. We should write a paragraph in Muizzu's page. Panam2014 (talk) 15:39, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
They still have to confirm it. Even if Solih and vice president Faisal resigns on 11 November, Muizzu won't become president till 17th when he gets inaugurated. The presidency will just go to the president of parliment. -- EN-Jungwon 15:59, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
Please add info. Also, do you have partisanship's history of Muizzu? Panam2014 (talk) 16:14, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
This article might be of some help. There might be more about it in his manifesto. -- EN-Jungwon 06:39, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Recent changes

  • One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Fon (w:fon:) [1]

Changes later this week

  • 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).

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-actions will 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.

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
  • Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [6][7]
  • Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [8]

Little help

Hello, I hope you're doing great! I wanted to give my userpage a personal touch. When I visited your userpage a few days ago, I was really impressed by its format, so I decided to use your code with some customizations. However, it seems that something isn't working quite right. If you have a moment, could you please take a look at it on both mobile and desktop views and help me fix the code? Your assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

@DreamRimmer I don't see any issues on the desktop version. However, the mobile version seems to have some issues. I'm not really sure how to fix that. -- EN-Jungwon 15:26, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Why MNP does not have PG with 2 seats but PPM/PNC have one? Panam2014 (talk) 09:22, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/2023/12

Hello EN-Jungwon, I hope you are doing well. The current paragraph in the "Guideline and policy news" section of the newsletter seems confusing in its wording. I suggest the following replacement for clarity: Following a talk page discussion, the Administrators' accountability policy has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have notifications (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory. Administrators who do not use notifications are now strongly encouraged to indicate this on their user page. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:14, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Mass message sender granted

{{safesubst:require subst|template=Mass message sender granted|1=

Hello. Your account has been granted the "massmessage-sender" user right, allowing you to send messages to multiple users at once. A few important things to note:

  • Messages should only be sent to groups of users who are likely to be interested in the topic.
  • For regular mailings such as those for WikiProjects, localized events, or newsletters, users should be informed of how they can unsubscribe from future mailings.
  • The mass messaging tool should never be used for canvassing with the intention of influencing the outcome of discussions.
  • You can create a new MMS list of users by moving one from this page.
  • It is usually best to send a test message to yourself, ensuring that the test message doesn't break talk page sections, and that the test message has a timestamp (for bot archiving).
  • It is best to use {{No ping}} when linking to users, so that you do not receive hundreds of pings when sending the message.

For more information, refer to the guidance for use. If you do not want mass message sender rights anymore, just let me or any other administrator know and we will remove it. Thank you and happy editing! <!

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

  • Pages that use the JSON contentmodel will now use tabs instead of spaces for auto-indentation. This will significantly reduce the page size. [47]
  • Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the requiresES6 option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future. [48]
  • Bot passwords and owner-only OAuth consumers can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages. [49]
  • You can now thank edits made by bots. [50]
  • An update on the status of the Community Wishlist Survey for 2024 has been published. Please read and give your feedback.

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar). [51][52]
  • Starting on January 17, it will not be possible to login to Wikimedia wikis from some specific old versions of the Chrome browser (versions 51–66, released between 2016 and 2018). Additionally, users of iOS 12, or Safari on Mac OS 10.14, may need to login to each wiki separately. [53]
  • The jquery.cookie module was deprecated and replaced with the mediawiki.cookie module last year. A script has now been run to replace any remaining uses, and this week the temporary alias will be removed. [54]

Recent changes

  • Starting Monday January 29, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link. This link is a permanent link to the comment.

  • On February 1, a link will be added to the "Tools" menu to download a QR code that links to the page you are viewing. There will also be a new Special:QrCode page to create QR codes for any Wikimedia URL. This addresses the #19 most-voted wish from the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [61]
  • Gadgets which only work in some skins have sometimes used the targets option to limit where you can use them. This will stop working this week. You should use the skins option instead. [62]

February Newsletter

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I think we should add one or two more arbitration entries for this month's newsletter. Take a look for any formatting quirks or unused headings, and give me a shout when it's good to go so I can send it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 01:55, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Did you check the wording? Is there anything that should be changed? – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:42, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Looks good. The wording is better than anything I came up with in my head :). Feel free to sent out the newsletter. -- EN-Jungwon 17:48, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Done. All credit goes to Mr. Jungwon. Thanks. – DreamRimmer (talk) 18:08, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-06

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 site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to the phabricator task.
  • On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity. Learn more about "action blocks". [63][64]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar). [65][66]
  • Talk pages permalinks that included diacritics and non-Latin script were malfunctioning. This issue is fixed. [67]

Future changes

  • 24 Wikipedias with Reference Tooltips as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make Reference Previews the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings. [68][69]
