All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.

Recent changes
- Thanks to the Graph extension and Pageview API, we now have {{Graph:PageViews}} templates that can show pageviews for any wiki page for any of the wikis. See the examples.
- The Capiunto extension is installed on test wiki. Capiunto provides flexible infobox functionality for Scribunto and generates HTML for infobox features such as headers and rows. It is designed for clean and modern infoboxes that are driven by data from Wikidata, easily usable across different language versions, and easily extensible.
- The visual editor now follows the TemplateData
formatsetting announced in November. When you edit or add a use of a template, the wikitext will be laid out in one of the two ways. [1][2] - The order of parameters and format defined in a template's TemplateData will be now respected. [3][4]
Changes this week
- On wikis where the visual editor is available in single edit tab mode, red links may open the visual editor instead of the wikitext editor, depending on user preferences. [5]
- Anonymous editor warning is now displayed as a warningbox for consistency in both the visual editor and the wikitext editor. [6]
- Parsoid has been updated to fit some HTML 5 specifications. [7]
Meetings
- Resigning executive director Lila Tretikov is taking questions at Knowledge Engine FAQ regarding the much talked about project. [8]
You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Richard Bernabe
Dear Tom, I am really not happy with the changes you made on the English page for R. Bernabe. With all due respect, the sentence "Richard A. Bernabe is an American photographer and author, who has worked with nature, wild life and travel photography and journalism" is simply wrong. He hasn't worked WITH journalism, he is a photographer, author, teacher and public speaker and not a journalist. In my opinion, that sentence gives the wrong impression, but I honestly don't dare anymore to change it, since it always get changed back no matter what I write in the discussion field. Also, I don't understand why the paragraph about his editorial clients has been deleted, since it is a pretty important deal for any photographer, if he does all the commercial shoots for example Canon. I am new to Wiki, can yoy please tell me, where the issue is? Thanks in advance. --The writing mombie (talk) 07:52, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Do you have any reliable sources, like from reputable newspapers or magazines to back what you say up? Wikipedia does not accept original research, as per WP:OR so we need those sources, especially for WP:BLP's. Thanks, Tom29739 [talk] 19:57, 1 March 2016 (UTC).

Recent changes
- Files on Wikimedia Commons can now be 2 GB big. The old limit was 1 GB. [9]
- Welcome notifications now have a different symbol. English Wikipedia already had this one. [10]
- The Wikimedia memory cache servers in the Eqiad cluster have now been upgraded to Debian 8 (Jessie). Some users might have had to log in again because of this. [11]
- It is now easier to categorize images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in the Commons Android app. [12]
Bare attributes in tags now parse according to the HTML5 specifications. <pages from= to= section=1>will parse as<pages from="to=" section="1">instead of<pages from="" to="" section="1">as it used to. Please use<pages from="" to="" section=1>or<pages section=1>instead. This is mostly likely to affect pages on Wikisource projects. [13]
Problems
- Phabricator has been a bit unstable lately. This should be fixed now. [14]
- The PageView API shows wrong data between 23 February and 29 February for pages with special characters in their title. [15]
- The parsing change mentioned above caused a large number of pages to break, especially on Wikisource. [16]
- You may see falsely formatted edit links on both mobile and desktop devices. Mobile devices can also show incorrect formatted table of contents. This should be fixed soon. [17]
- Templates using TemplateData that were edited with the visual editor might have some problems in wikitext mode. This can be fixed by editing and saving the page by using the visual editor without making any changes. [18]
Changes this week
- Cross-wiki notifications will be enabled as a beta feature on all wikis on 10 March. You will be able to get notifications when something happens on another Wikimedia wiki. [19]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 March. It will be on all wikis from 10 March (calendar).
- Wikivoyages will get the Kartographer extension. Kartographer will allow
<mapframe>and<maplink>tags in an article to insert an interactive map and overlay it with different markers. You can add ideas and suggestions to the Maps talk page. If you find any bugs, you can report them in Phabricator. [20]
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 8 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones. [21]
- The Wikimedia technical operations team plans to do some server work on 22 March. This could cause some problems, for example make it possible to read but not edit the Wikimedia wikis for a short period of time. The date for this might change. [22]
