[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:ZfJames|ZfJames]]. I noticed that you recently removed content from [[:Byzantine Empire under the Komnenos dynasty]]&nbsp;without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the [[WP:Sandbox|sandbox]]. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:ZfJames|my talk page]]. Thanks.<!-- Template:uw-delete1 --> '''—'''[[User:ZfJames|<span style="color:#ffa500; background-color:#0a0a0a; padding:2px 1px 0px 1px;">zfJames</span>]] <small>''Please&thinsp;add <small><code><nowiki>{{ping|ZfJames}}</nowiki></code></small>&thinsp;to&thinsp;your&thinsp;reply''</small> ([[User_talk:ZfJames|talk&thinsp;page]],&thinsp;[[Special:Contributions/ZfJames|contribs]]) 22:59, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

== Overzealous tagging ==
You tagged [[User:Daask/sandbox/Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine]] for CSD with G1, G11, and G13. While this is virtually an empty page and therefore inadvertent deletion is not a big deal, I don't believe any of these criteria apply in this case. Please be more careful in the future.

== [[WP:UAA]] reports on users with no edits ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per [[WP:UAAI]]: ''"'''Wait until the user edits'''. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used."'' The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident. 

For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. So we add the {{tl|wait}} tag to the report, it goes to [[WP:UAA/HP]] for a week or more, and must then be reviewed ''again'' to see if the account has since become active before removing it. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports.<!--Template:UAA-no edits--> [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 00:35, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

:By the same token, generally it is not a good use of your time to be welcoming users with no edits. The community has repeatedly rejected the idea of any sort of automatic welcoming before a single edit is made.

Hello. I noticed you restored content to Dr.Koo's talk page with [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Dr.Koo&diff=prev&oldid=847305358 this edit]. This is not generally done. Please take a few minutes to read [[WP:BLANKING]] and [[WP:Don't restore removed comments]]. As the user is blocked, I don't know if they'll undo your edit, or even see it. I'm going to leave it alone. It's up to you to decide if you want to revert yourself; I probably would, were I in the same position.

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello. Your recent edit to [[:National University of Distance Education]] appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list [[Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Lists_of_people|should have]] a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]] guideline. Your edit did not provide references to reliable sources to establish notability and status as an academic associated with the university. It is often less work to create the article first, then add the name to the list. <!-- Template:uw-badlistentry --> [[User:Gab4gab|Gab4gab]] ([[User talk:Gab4gab|talk]]) 00:18, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

I tried one link, https://www.xenu.net/archive/books/bfm/bfm09.htm and it "refused to connect".

== Question ==

What do you think about removing webcomics from arts in vital article list? [[Polandball]] is enaugh vital in your opinion? [[User:Dawid2009|Dawid2009]] ([[User talk:Dawid2009|talk]]) 18:22, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
:I would avoid making any large removals from the Level 5 list at this point, as it is far from being completed. Also, I would categorise webcomics as a form of art. &#8213;[[User:Susmuffin|<span style="color:#8B008B;">'''''Susmuffin'''''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Susmuffin|<sup><span style="color:#8B008B;">'''''Talk'''''</span></sup>]] 02:20, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
:: I agree that webcomics are form of art but we do not have listed [[Hetalia: Axis Powers]] which is much more vital webcomic than webcomics which are currently listed. I also mentioned Slender Man in disscussion due to fact that [[Crazy Frog]] and [[Slender Man]] clearly are more vital [[Internet phenomena]] than [[Polandball]] and at least on the same level what [[Hatsune Miku]] which is listed. We also need to remember that Deutch Wikipedia which [[German Wikipedia#Growth, coverage and popularity|has very rigorous deletionism for fictional creatures]] does not have articles about listed creatures such like [[Harry Potter (character)]], [[Darth Vader]] and has articles about Crazy Frog and Slender Man, so disscussion about including these creatures really would be valuable. Anyway if you still disagree that [[Slender Man]] and [[Crazy Frog]] can not be listed we can add other concept such like [[Pinocchio]], [[Christmas elf]], [[The Gingerbread Man]] but in this case creatures which are not described in German Wikipedia in my opinion also should be definietly removed

:: In my opinion we also should create new secion at social sciences about: Media franchises. Because we have currently various media franchises in diffrent places listed. At fictional characters [[Flash (comics)|Flash]] and [[Green Lantern]] do not fit to this section. 

:: In my opionion we also should add to mythological creatures new section which would be titled: specific mythological creatures. And under this section subtitles: general (for creatures such like [[Wandering Jew]] currently listed at fiction and [[Tooth fairy]] currently listed at myths/religion), paranormal (for example for [[UFO]] which is not listed) ald cryptides (for [[Yeti]], [[Big foot]] etc.)

:: I am also not sure [[Don Juan]] and [[Roland]] are fictional characters. There were some time ago [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Vital_articles/Level/4&oldid=812916377#Fictional_characters disscussion] about this type creatures. Anyway it seems to me that they are historical creatures near at the same level what [[Saint Nicholas]] and [[Blackbeard]].

:: What do you think about my comments and ideas above? I hope you will replied. Cheers [[User:Dawid2009|Dawid2009]] ([[User talk:Dawid2009|talk]]) 22:09, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

'''Recent changes'''
* Ordinary pages can no longer be loaded as [[w:en:JavaScript|javascript]]. You could do this using <code dir=ltr>?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript</code> in the [[w:en:URL|URL]]. Only fully protected pages in the MediaWiki: namespace or user javascript subpages can be loaded as javascript now. This is for better security.

'''Problems'''
* New and updated translations from [[en:w:translatewiki.net|translatewiki.net]] will not reach the wikis for a while. You can still translate messages on translatewiki.net. The Wikimedia wikis will be updated with the new translations later. This is because of work on the translation system.

See [[m:IRC office hours#Upcoming office hours|how to join]] if you want to know how the search function works or have questions.

'''Future changes'''
* Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 10 October. This will start at [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=14&min=00&sec=0&day=10&month=10&year=2018 14:00 (UTC)]. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time.

'''Recent changes'''
* On wikis with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Translate|translatable pages]] you could create a mess when you moved a page that had translatable subpages. A subpage is when you use <code>/</code> to create a new page: <code>/wiki/Page/Subpage</code>. The subpages would be moved but not the translations. The subpages are no longer automatically be moved. This is to make it safer to move pages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114592]

'''Changes later this week'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:AdvancedSearch|advanced search interface]] will be available by default on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. It's already active on German, Farsi, Arabic and Hungarian Wikipedia. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193182]
* [[Special:UnusedCategories|Special:UnusedCategories]] show empty categories with no files or other categories. You can soon choose to not show soft redirect categories or some maintenance categories there. You can do this with the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words|magic word]] <code><nowiki>__EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__</nowiki></code>. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T96041]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.33/wmf.6|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 November. It will be on all wikis from 29 November ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.33/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The <code>mw.util.jsMessage()</code> function was deprecated in 2012. It will be removed next week. [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Reporting JavaScript errors|Look for the warning]] <code>Use of "mw.util.jsMessage" is deprecated</code> in the JavaScript console to know if you use an affected script or gadget. If you are a gadget maintainer you should check if your JavaScript code contains <code>mw.util.jsMessage</code>. There is a [[mw:ResourceLoader/Migration guide (users)#mw.util.jsMessage|migration guide]]. It explains how to use <code>mw.notify</code> instead. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193901]

'''Recent changes'''
* Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can [[phab:T150826|report it on Phabricator]]. You can also ask questions [[m:Tech|on Meta]]. There is a discussion [[phab:T150826|on Phabricator]] about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150826]
* Small [[:w:en:Scalable Vector Graphics|SVG images]] are now bigger when you see them in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:MediaViewer|MediaViewer]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71237]
* You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T165189]
* When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Footnote_highlighting][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T194511]

'''Future changes'''
* New accounts will need passwords that are at least 8 characters long. Admins, interface admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, CentralNotice admins, global renamers, check users, stewards and some other user groups will need passwords that are at least 10 characters long. This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Security_Team/Password_strengthening_2019][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Password_policy]
* When you hover over a footnote it will show you the reference as a pop-up. This is so you don't have to jump down to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will happen in 2019. Some wikis already have gadgets that do this. You will be able to turn it off. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/ReferencePreviews]

'''Tech News'''
* Because of the [[w:en:Christmas and holiday season|holidays]] the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.

'''Recent changes'''
* Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile_Page_Issues][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T210553]
* Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150826]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:ParserMigration|ParserMigration extension]] has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/RemexHtml|Remex parsing library]] instead of [[mw:Parsing/Replacing Tidy|Tidy]].

'''Problems'''
* <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <code><nowiki><ref name="adams" group="books"></nowiki></code>. If a <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed.

'''Future changes'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps|Android app team]] are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can [[mw:Android editing features|read more]] about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell [[:m:User:Dchen (WMF)|Dchen (WMF)]] you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] <code>tiles.wmflabs.org</code> and <code>wma.wmflabs.org</code> will stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes [[:w:en:Mapnik|the mapnik gadget]], hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/03|Translations]] are available.

'''Recent changes'''
* You can now use [[:w:en:Google Translate|Google Translate]] in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation|content translation tool]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90208][https://wikimediafoundation.org/2019/01/09/you-can-now-use-google-translate-to-translate-articles-on-wikipedia/]
* You can now add [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:File captions|captions]] to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup.
* Earlier a [[:w:en:Attribute (computing)|quoted HTML attribute]] had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Uqhg1it7nojfnjfg][https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/commit/59bb8864a23f3df120789c7619ef07acefa27b9c]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Templates with  [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateStyles|<nowiki><templatestyles></nowiki>]] could not show the difference between the live template and the [[w:en:Sandbox (software development)|sandbox]] version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. <nowiki><templatestyles></nowiki> has a new <code>wrapper</code> parameter now. You can use it for selectors like <code dir="ltr">.mw-parser-output <nowiki><wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page></nowiki></code>. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T200441]

'''Problems'''
* When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tags|tags]]. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212703]

'''Changes later this week'''
*You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Move files to Commons|FileExporter]]. It will be a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Beta Features|beta feature]] on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|activate it]] and check [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Move files to Commons/Configuration file documentation|your wiki's configuration file]].
* Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/481115/]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter|AbuseFilter]] variable <code>minor_edit</code> has been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on [[Special:AbuseFilter|Special:AbuseFilter]].
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.33/wmf.13|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 15</div></div> <section end="technews-2019-W03"/> 17:55, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

I am trying to put a page up for my fans. I am Fred Batt the Demonologist with the TV show Most Haunted.

The main reason I am trying to make the page is because for so long it had a lot of wrong information on it

== Table code formatting ==

Hi! Of the many Dispenser edits you made recently, I noticed [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=United_Plankton_Pictures&diff=879129113&oldid=877551508 this one], which edited the page's table to have a {{code|{{!}}-}} placed directly before the table's headers. To me, this appears rather uncommon, and it didn't really change anything visibly, but is this the proper code formatting for tables? Regards. [[User:Lordtobi|<span style="font-family: Impact;">Lordtobi</span>]] ([[User talk:Lordtobi|<span style="color: #B0B0B0;">&#9993;</span>]]) 09:34, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
:[[Help:Table#Using the toolbar|Help:Table]] seems to suggest that a <code>|-</code> is produced before the <code>! header</code> when one selects "Insert a table." That is probably why Dispenser does this. I have tested this, and the results contradict Help:Table. Furthermore, the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Data tables tutorial#Overview of basics|Manual of Style]] suggests that a <code>|-</code> is put before the <code>! header</code>. I have no idea why the guides contradict with what "Insert a table" does. &#8213;[[User:Susmuffin|<span style="color:#8B008B;">'''''Susmuffin'''''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Susmuffin|<sup><span style="color:#8B008B;">'''''Talk'''''</span></sup>]] 15:57, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/04|Translations]] are available.

'''Tech News'''
* Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with [[m:Special:MyLanguage/MassMessage|MassMessage]]. If you did not get last week's issue, you can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/03|read it on Meta]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213942]

'''Recent changes'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation|content translation tool]] can now use  [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation/V2|version 2]] as the default version for users who turned on the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Beta Features|beta feature]]. For example it adds the tracking category <code>{{int:cx-unreviewed-translation-category}}</code> to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category in <code>Special:TrackingCategories</code> on Wikipedias.
* [https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org] can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to [[:w:en:PDF|PDF]], [[:w:en:EPUB|EPUB]] or [[:w:en:OpenDocument|ODT]]. Previously this was 200 pages.

'''Problems'''
* When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213922]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/MassMessage|MassMessage]] is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213942][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T139380]
* Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213858]

'''Changes later this week'''
* You will be able to use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateStyles|template styles]] in the <code>Module</code> namespace. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T200914]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.33/wmf.14|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.33/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Meetings'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190123T16 23 January at 16:00 (UTC)].

* The Wikimedia servers use [[:w:en:HHVM|HHVM]] to run the [[:w:en:PHP|PHP]] code.

So  totally not trying to vandalize my great-grandfather’s page or anything. I see deadlink and all I was trying to do is update the link with the reference link at the bottom of the page, which is not a dead link, the website page moved, so I can share for Black History Month. Are you able to fix this. Permanent dead link isn’t great. Not sure what happened to the USC links that existed before but that’s neither here nor there. If you can fix this up since I’m clearly doing it wrong to the point of me being called a vandal, I would sincerely appreciate it.

Bearsden Choir.

I understood Wikipedia should not be taken as fully reliable as anyone can change it. I therefore was not looking for rules, and didn't notice anything in particular. 
I have been a member of Bearsden Choir since 1981 and was aware that some of the info already given was not completely accurate, and also of course , Andrew Nunn has been our Conductor since 2014.
I do like things to be accurate, however, I just did it because it was possible at the time, I do not have time to read up, or give citations.

It will therefore have to remain absolutely out of date !!

Best wishes 

Karine  Davison

== Reversed Edit to page 'Smino' ==

Hi there, you recently reversed my edit to the [[Smino]] page, in which I added the link to his official website. Was this an automated response? You wrote it "did not appear constructive," but I would disagree. Would you reconsider the reversal, or explain your decision?

== re: Recent edit to Adult adoption ==

Hi Susmuffin,

I changed "children" to "minor children" to better summarize the law to which it referred: The ''Adoption and Children Act (2002)'' states, "An application for an adoption order may only be made if the person to be adopted has not attained the age of 18 years on the date of the application."

The unedited statement was: "In the United Kingdom, only children may be adopted." Since all persons who had parents are children, saying "only children may be adopted" strikes me as tantamount to the trivial statement that "only persons may be adopted". However, that would include adult children as well and the statement would contradict the law it refers to. Consequently, I made the modification.

Perhaps the article should simply say "In the United Kingdom, only minors may be adopted" or adult adoption is not allowed in the United Kingdom.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/98.164.76.199|98.164.76.199]] ([[User talk:98.164.76.199#top|talk]]) 08:15, 19 February 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:The context makes it clear that "children" refers to people who are under the age of majority. However, I would not object to the replacement of "children" with "minors," as they are synonyms. &#8213;[[User:Susmuffin|<span style="color:#8B008B;">'''''Susmuffin'''''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Susmuffin|<sup><span style="color:#8B008B;">'''''Talk'''''</span></sup>]] 03:52, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

== Talk to us about talking ==

<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">
[[File:OOjs_UI_icon_speechBubbles-rtl.svg|alt=" icon depicting two speech Bubbles"|frameless|right|120px]]
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019|global consultation about communication]]. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.

'''We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.'''

You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:  
# First, [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Participant group sign-up|sign up your group here.]]  
# Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group.  This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.  
# Then ask people what they think about communication processes.  We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki.  Please consider asking these five questions:
## When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
## What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
## What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
## What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
## What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
# Finally, please go to [[mw:Talk:Talk pages consultation 2019|Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org]] and report what you learned from your group.  Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.

'''You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.'''

Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Tools in use|how your group communicates]].

You can read more about [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019|the overall process]] on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can [[mw:Talk:Talk pages consultation 2019|leave feedback about the consultation process]] in the language you prefer.

Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

* Pages can use [[:wikidata:Property:P625|geocoordinates]] from Wikidata with the <code>mw.wikibase.entity:formatStatements</code> [[w:Lua (programming language)|Lua]] function or the <code>#statements</code> [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Parser functions|parser function]].

You can report bugs or ask questions [[phab:T210926|on Phabricator]].
* There is now an [[:wikitech:EventStreams|EventStream]] to see when [https://stream.wikimedia.org/?doc#!/Streams/get_v2_stream_page_links_change links are added or removed] on Wikimedia wikis. You can read the [[phab:T115119|discussions and plans]].

'''Problems'''
* Some wikis will not be able to edit for a short period of time on 19 March ([[:w:en:Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]]). This will start at [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190319T15 15:00 UTC]. It will last up to 15 minutes but probably shorter. You can [[phab:T217441|see the list of affected wikis]]. This is because of network maintenance. You can still read the wikis.
* Editors who use Firefox to edit with the visual editor had a problem with copying text. When they tried to select text that included footnotes, templates or block images in the middle they would often only get part of the text. This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214976]
* Some maps didn't work for a while on 8 March. This has been fixed. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/20190308-wdqs][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T217898]

== Nationalism ==

Regarding edit on nationalism page, that wrongly stated that annexation of Crimea by Russian Federation in 2014 was driven by Nationalism. "...More recently, nationalism was an important driver of the controversial annexation of Crimea by Russia..."

First of all, the annexation of territory of another country was an illegal act, as a result of occupation. So no controversy here, but obvious disregard of international law.

Secondly, Russian Federation is trying to resurrect Soviet Union, and there was nothing nationalistic about Soviet Union.

Thirdly, the only nationalism would be possible in Crimea would be nationalism of Crimean Tatars if they were trying to create national state. Annexation by Russian Federation is dictated by totally different drive - imperialism. Russian Federation itself, as a federation of Buryats, Bashkors, Komi, Sakha, Tuva, Dagestan,... and many others, that can only function by offering its subjects foremost imperialistic but not nationalistic ideas. And the occupation of Crimea is a clear result of such imperialistic tendencies in politics of Russian Federation.

== Archiving ==

Hi Susmuffin, as a matter of interest, why did you [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=The_Holocaust&curid=10396793&diff=887767676&oldid=887766354 change] one archive to another at the Holocaust? I sometimes use archive.is because the Internet Archive is often slow to load, and for a few days recently I wasn't able to load it at all. I don't mind which one is used, but I wondered whether you're aware of some reason archive.is ought to be replaced. [[User:SlimVirgin|SarahSV]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</sup></small> 18:41, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
:I'm sorry, I only glanced at the change before leaving this. You didn't add the Internet Archive but expanded the URL. Is it better to use the long URLs than the short ones? [[User:SlimVirgin|SarahSV]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</sup></small> 18:47, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
::Apologies, "Fix dead links" did that on its own.

:::No worries. I see editors do this quite a lot (rmv archive.is, or change the URL), so I was wondering whether there was a problem with it or whether the script's default is to remove those links. I suppose I should start by looking at why the script treats them as dead links. Thank you.

== My edits were relevant ==

My edits were relevant considering that the party/faction JKLF is a terrorist group. It has killed both soldiers & innocent civilians of my country, including women & children. It is relevant edit to call it a terrorist group. Furthermore, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen is a Pakistani terrorist group as designated by the US, EU, & India. There is not a shadow of a doubt when I edit an article calling them terrorists.

* Wikis can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:System message|over-ride interface messages]] on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead.

== Lyles, TN photographs ==

Thanks for your patience as I learn to use Wikipedia!

Most, if not all pictures, that I've seen on Wikipedia have been of high quality. Is there ever a time to use old, lesser quality photos from early 1900's in an article? I have seen an old photo of Lyell Station and a photo of a steam engine passing through Lyles. I couldn't find anything in The Tea Room about this topic. I don't want to contact the ladies who possess these if it is unlikely they could be used.

Thanks again,

== You stopped my edit! ==

Hi

Dissapointed that you blocked my edit of this page - the song Mama's Little Girl has no explanation as to the song meaning and I believe that my edits should be applied and asked for comment on - short of asking Sir Paul or Heather Louise not sure what else can be done! Do me a favour go and listen to the song and think of the 5 year old Heather Louise at the farm on the Mull of Kintyre - this song must be about her! Some comment must be made about it!  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.15.222.57|86.15.222.57]] ([[User talk:86.15.222.57#top|talk]]) 00:19, 6 April 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

'''Recent changes'''
* More wikis are now testing visual editor section editing for mobile users. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor on mobile/Section editing|read more]].
* Admins on French and Polish Wikipedia can [[m:Community health initiative/Partial blocks|block someone from editing a page or a namespace]]. If your wiki wants to get these blocks before they are available to all wikis, you can [[m:Talk:Community health initiative/Partial blocks|tell the developers]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219327][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219218]

'''Problems'''
* You will be able read but not edit most wikis for 30 minutes on  [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190411T05 11 April at 05:00 (UTC)]. This is because of a hardware problem. You can [[phab:T220080|see a list of the affected wikis]]. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2019-April/091900.html]
* A map update caused some problems on 29 March and 30 March. It was rolled back. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T217087]
* Pages on some Wikivoyages had problems with the top headline. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97891#5079408]

'''Changes later this week'''
* When you add an edit summary the VisualEditor will search your recent edit summaries in case you want to re-use one. This works in both the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User guide|visual]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2017 wikitext editor|wikitext]] modes on desktop. It also works [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile|on the mobile site]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T50274]
* The Wikimedia wikis will get a [[:w:en:URL shortening|URL shortener]]. This will work from 11 April. You can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia URL Shortener|read more]]. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2019-April/012893.html]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The <code><nowiki>{{REVISIONID}}</nowiki></code> magic word will no longer work. This is for performance reasons. When you preview a page it will return <code>""</code> (empty string). When you read a page it will return <code>"-"</code> (dash). For now this will only affect content namespaces. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137900]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.33/wmf.25|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.33/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Meetings'''

See [[mw:Technical Advice IRC Meeting|how to join]].

'''Future changes'''
* You will be able to preview references. This means that when you hover over the link you will get a popup that shows you a preview of the reference. It will work much like [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Page Previews|page previews]]. This is so you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will now be available as a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/ReferencePreviews][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T67114]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The Wikidata [[:w:en:JSON|JSON]] output will change. Empty containers will be serialised as empty objects. This is a breaking change that will affect tools that use JSON outputs and APIs. It will happen on 30 April.

Im sorry about that it is just that the evidence i provided was just entirely true and i didn’t know how to give reference. Could you please leave the edit up and i will learn how to add reference in the mean time. The information i have provided can be found in the David Attenborough documentary on South American invasive species which i watched on dailymotion.

Thankyou, from Ollypants [[User:Skeltona09095|Skeltona09095]] ([[User talk:Skeltona09095|talk]]) 15:41, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

'''Recent changes'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps|Wikipedia app]] for Android now invites users to add Wikidata descriptions to Wikidata objects that have Wikipedia articles but no Wikidata descriptions. It will only invite users who have added a number of Wikidata descriptions in the app without being reverted. This is to avoid spam and bad edits. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android/AppEditorTasks][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T205125]

'''Problems'''
* Tech News was late last week because of a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:MassMessage|MassMessage]] bug. Other newsletters had the same problem. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T221570]

'''Changes later this week'''
* You will see when you last refreshed the recent changes page. This is so you can see how recent the changes are. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T200353]
* When you write a comment in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured Discussions|Structured Discussions]] but have not posted it yet your [[:w:en:Web browser|web browser]] will save it in <code>[[:w:en:Web storage#Local and session storage|local storage]]</code> instead of <code>[[:w:en:Web storage#Local and session storage|session storage]]</code>. This means you do not lose them even if you close your web browser. Structured Discussions used to be called Flow. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T93612]
* You will be able to turn off [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Notifications/Notifications types#Milestone|milestone notifications]]. Milestone notifications congratulate you when you have made certain numbers of edits. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T169924]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.33/wmf.3|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 May. It will be on all wikis from 2 May ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.33/Roadmap|calendar]]).

See [[mw:Technical Advice IRC Meeting|how to join]].

'''Future changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The Wikidata <code>wb_terms</code> table will be dropped. This will affect some Wikidata tools. They need to be updated. The table has become too big which is causing problems. This will happen on 29 May. You can [[mailarchive:wikidata/2019-April/012987.html|read more]]. You can ask for help if you need it.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Wikimedia wikis will soon use a token when you log out. This changes how the API works. Some tools might need to be updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T25227]

== “Final warning” level for first unconstructive edt ==

Hi Susmuffin, I saw that you gave an [[User talk:2600:100D:B16B:C67E:88A7:F685:5990:5850|IP editor]] a final warning for vandalism despite it being their first edit.

* The [[mw:Content translation/V2|content translation tool]] on Wikipedia can use machine translations. There is a system to stop translations where the editors do not fix machine translation mistakes. This warns or stops them if they seem to just copy what the machine translation gives them. If this system is too strict or not strict enough you can [[mw:Talk:Content translation|tell the language team]]. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Content_translation/Translating/Translation_quality]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The Wikidata <code>wbeditentity</code> [[:w:en:Application programming interface|API]] endpoint will remove all aliases if the request includes an empty alias. This is how it supposed to work. It has not been working this way because of a bug. This will start on 12 June. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2019-May/013051.html]

== Agung eruption 18 may 2019 is it a hoax ==

Seeing very nicely done youtube video released lately about Agung eruption may 18 2019...  Searching through all possibilities to verify it and coming up with nothing. Appears to be fake. I live in Ubud bali but presently travelling in Thailand. Do you think its a hoax?
Hope for your comment.  Email me if you like. Pak Ulu : kunzangyabyum@yahoo.com

== Mixed Gender Hurling ==

Thanks for the 'heads-up'. Agreed that the page 'looked' better previously, I should have been more succinct. I guess the page now gives the impression that something (Mixed Gender) exists which does not exist, in reality? Or, perhaps I've mis-understood what Wiki categorises as a 'Mixed Gender' sport? Let's work this out, together and build a better page for Hurling (and for Wiki!) Kind Regards. Sean

== Hello sir, I am zoologist d.roy. I just want to tell you that if anyone just removes a correct and perfect edit without considering its ture value, it will never be a great thing. In zoology human is also the part of study including all animals left on the planet. Many people think and say that zoology does not include humans. So as a zoologist I just included the term humans in its study fields. So, I think it was a correct edit. I also respect your work, but how can it be a wrong edit. Anyway, thank you very much for your support. ==

Hello, Susmuffin. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|Draft]] page you started, "[[Draft:Polly the Parrot|Polly the Parrot]]". 

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]], the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Polly the Parrot|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code. 

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at [[WP:REFUND/G13|this link]]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. <!-- Template:Db-draft-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Snowycats|Snowycats]] ([[User talk:Snowycats|talk]]) 17:42, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I am not sure why you think the article was better before or what measurement you are using to determine whether an article is good or not. The current article is in complete and outdated. I am new to updating wikipedia pages and everything is very foreign to me. The bio needs to be updated and Nephew Tommy himself requested that I update the image.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/25|Translations]] are available.

'''Problems'''
* You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for 30 minutes on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190619T05 19 June at 05:00 (UTC)]. This is to fix a hardware problem. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224516]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[:w:en:MIDI|MIDI]] files can soon be played without the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Score|Score extension]]. You can then add them with <code><nowiki>[[File:Filename.midi]]</nowiki></code>. Later <code>override_midi</code> and <code>override_audio</code> will stop working. Instead you will need to add the MIDI file below the music score. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135597]
* A new video player will soon replace the old one. You will be able to enable it as a beta feature in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|your preferences]]. It will later be enabled for everyone if there are no big problems. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148103]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/wmf.10|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Meetings'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190619T15 19 June at 15:00 (UTC)]. See [[mw:Technical Advice IRC Meeting|how to join]].

'''Future changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Some gadgets and user scripts still use the old <code>wgEnableAPI</code> and <code>wgEnableWriteAPI</code> values. These values are always true. They will soon be removed. This might break the gadgets and scripts. You should fix your gadgets to not use these values. [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/504076]

:* A [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#RfC: Alteration of Account Creation Limits/Account Creator Rights|request for comment]] seeking to alleviate pressures on the [[Wikipedia:Request an account|request an account (ACC)]] process proposes either raising the account creation limit for extended confirmed editors or granting the [[Wikipedia:Account creator|account creator permission]] on request to new ACC tool users.
::*In a related matter, the account throttle has been restored to six creations per day as the [[phab:T212667|mitigation activity]] completed.
:* The scope of [[WP:CSD#G8|CSD criterion G8]] has [[Special:PermanentLink/902425211#Tightening G8 with respect to redirects|been tightened]] such that the only redirects that it now applies to are those which target non-existent pages.
:* The scope of [[WP:CSD#G14|CSD criterion G14]] has [[Special:PermanentLink/902639054#Deletion of redundant (disambiguation) redirects|been expanded slightly]] to include orphan "Foo (disambiguation)" redirects that target pages that are not disambiguation pages or pages that perform a disambiguation-like function (such as set index articles or lists).
:* A [[Wikipedia talk:Office actions#RfC|request for comment]] seeks to determine whether [[Wikipedia:Office actions]] should be a policy page or an information page.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:* The Wikimedia Foundation's [[:meta:Community health initiative|Community health initiative]] plans to design and build a [[:meta:Community health initiative/User reporting system consultation 2019|new user reporting system]] to make it easier for people experiencing harassment and other forms of abuse to provide accurate information to the appropriate channel for action to be taken. Community feedback is invited.

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous'''
:* In February 2019, the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) [[:meta:Special:Diff/18886804|changed its office actions policy]] to include temporary and project-specific bans. The WMF exercised this new ability for the first time on the English Wikipedia on 10 June 2019 to temporarily ban and desysop {{noping|Fram}}. This action has resulted in [[WP:FRAM|significant community discussion]], a [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#WJBscribe|request for arbitration]] ([[Special:PermanentLink/904388429#WJBscribe|permalink]]), and, either directly or indirectly, the resignations of numerous administrators and functionaries. The WMF Board of Trustees is aware of the situation, and discussions continue on a statement and a way forward. The Arbitration Committee has sent an [[Special:PermanentLink/904148460#Open letter to the WMF Board|open letter to the WMF Board]].

== Doomguy edit. ==

I have the link to where I got the info. Only problem is... I don't know how to post it as a reference; comes from another wiki and I cannot find the right article to put it under or it to work.[[Special:Contributions/97.127.92.185|97.127.92.185]] ([[User talk:97.127.92.185|talk]]) 07:15, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

== About My edit on "Spumoni" ==

Dear Susmuffin,

I'm born and raised in Italy where I spent 30 years of my life. My edit on "Spumoni" was not an act of vandalism, I just wanted to let the people know what "Spumoni" is in Italy, a totally different dessert and trust me there's no place where you can find the "Spumoni" ice cream flavorful in the whole Italian territory.

I just wanted to give more credit to wikipedia. Trust me, ANY italian that read the american "Spumoni" page will laugh at that.
Expecially the part where it says "Spumoni is a staple dessert in Italian culture after a dinner of ravioli".
This is very racist. And not real as well since "Spumoni" is typical of the South of Italy and "Ravioli" are from the North of Italy.

Feel free to verify this informations with an italian wikipedia admin 

Kind Regards  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:GioPower|GioPower]] ([[User talk:GioPower#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GioPower|contribs]]) 17:29, 7 July 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Rafiqul Islam Miah ==

Hi, regarding the page Rafiqul Islam Miah, I have added one reference (https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-37206) with the discussion around the Bihari Community getting citizenship (daily star reference).
 Please add that line now. For rest of the edits, there are links which I will add. The article as it stands is extremely incomplete, lacks information and details. 
As for biography related details, the positions he held were incomplete and did not have references either. But that incomplete without reference details were accepted but my edits which had more details (he was minister/state minister for 3 different ministries) have been moved.

Education related facts (degrees from which school), political positions held and currently being held are easily verifiable. The existing article also states few of them without reference, so I'm not sure why these partial facts are there while more details I wrote have been removed. 

Please advice the proper procedure to put references regarding biography details (which may not all be available on websites)

Hi Susmuffin. Thanks for copyediting my posts on this page. I am sorry for missing signs at my votes but it was caused due to fact I copied long edition from my sandbox where I were preparing my proposals during last few weeks. I do it because of I decided that I will slowly write a massage (without postdated signs) until I share my thoughts on VA talk. I am also going to correct my message at section: "Global proposals" because of I know that it stil has grammal mistakes and is quite understandable but I will do it littly later when I get enaugh time for it.

== Need For Speed World - closure - offline server - soapbox racer ==

First, I'm wondering what the Wiki rules are about third party modifications for a game. I seem to recall this was an issue in the case of a third party server made for World of Warcraft, to avoid the monthly fee, and that some references to it were removed, but I don't recall if it was ever in a Wiki article (it is not there now), and I don't know if the third party server is still running. [[User:Rcgldr|Rcgldr]] ([[User talk:Rcgldr|talk]]) 02:56, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

{{re|Susmuffin}}I have NFS World on my watchlist, and I noted you reverted an edit back to one that is factually incorrect. Early versions of soapbox race world didn't exist until about 2 years after NFS World was shutdown (late 2017), not just "a few months". The edit that you removed correctly noted that early versions of offline servers were running before shutdown. It also correctly noted that player account information could be downloaded, and that some fan sites downloaded all of their members accounts. For example, World Garage forum downloaded player account info for all of it's members, if the member names matched their online names, and also downloaded account info by request. I don't know the details on how this was done, but I have a zip of downloaded accounts, including my own, that work with the offline servers. Most of the post NFS World stuff is posted at elitepvpers forum. Early on, some of this was posted at some Russian forums, but I don't recall the web site names. Prior to soapbox, there were other online servers, which are also mentioned at elitepvpers forum site. Soapbox web site has been "under maintenance" for quite a while, although it still provides a link, and I'm not aware of any currently running servers, although I've never tried any of the online servers. What I've read from various forums and youtube videos, is that servers either reset, or are shutdown, and players have to start over on new servers. I haven't seen any youtube videos made using a soapbox server in the last 6 months or more, leading me to believe that there aren't any servers currently running. [[User:Rcgldr|Rcgldr]] ([[User talk:Rcgldr|talk]]) 02:56, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
 
Again, I'm not sure if the post NFS World stuff should be included in the Wiki article, but if it is to be included, the version that you undid was factually correct, while the one you reverted back to is factually incorrect. I'm also finding the standards for "reliable sources" to be inconsistent for Wiki video game articles. [[User:Rcgldr|Rcgldr]] ([[User talk:Rcgldr|talk]]) 02:56, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
:I removed the remaining content, as it lacked citations. [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources#User-generated content|Also, Internet forums are not reliable sources.]] &#8213;[[User:Susmuffin|<span style="color:#8B008B;">'''''Susmuffin'''''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Susmuffin|<sup><span style="color:#8B008B;">'''''Talk'''''</span></sup>]] 14:24, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
::What I meant about Wiki standards for reliable sources for video games is what I see in quite a few video game articles. A lot of the content on certain articles is based on actual game play, so the reader would need to get a copy of the game to verify, an issue that has been brought up in the past in Wiki video games article. Another debated source would be a youtube video of actual game play.  In some cases there are developer approved or created guides for those games, which probably should be considered as reliable sources, but not many games have such guides. Then again, I don't see how actual game play is much different than an article about a book or movie that relies on the book or movie itself for a description of the book or movie (such as plot), or a video clip (youtube) from a movie. For comparison, articles about programming algorithms usually rely on industry approved texts or books about the algorithm, rather than the algorithm itself. [[User:Rcgldr|Rcgldr]] ([[User talk:Rcgldr|talk]]) 18:46, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
::As for internet forums, what I was referring to was the downloadable content, as opposed to posts about such content. Again, this gets to the issue of using the actual download itself (running it) as a reliable source. [[User:Rcgldr|Rcgldr]] ([[User talk:Rcgldr|talk]]) 18:49, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

:*Following a [[meta:Research:IP masking impact report|research project]] on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to [[meta:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|improve the privacy of IP editors]].

Hey Susmuffin! I edited some article about a historic monument (Talatal Ghar) to correct grammatical errors and add facts. But you undid it. May i know why? Initially i was a bit upset but i figured out u r a regular wikipedia editor, so u might have some point. Please do clarify.

== Talatal ghar ==

Hey! Thanks for ur response. Let me assure u the text was meant to be constructive; being a local i know the info i put in was true to the best of my knowledge. Only citation might be lacking. So u may undo the reversion or allow me to do it. Please let me know if there is any other issue with my edit. Thanks!

Greetings!  This is in response to your disruptive edit to my change on the Doug DeMuro page stating he has "well over" 2 million subscribers.  At the time Doug's YouTube account had over 2.9 million subscribers and it has recently passed 3 million.  I am unaffiliated with Doug DeMuro and the edit was simply to emphasize that it was well over two million subscribers.

You wrote: "Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions."

Your edit seems highly subjective. All I did was to add a comment about one of the quoted sources. As it stands the article relies on a very questionable study to claim that healing works. The comment and reference I added points out several flaws in that study. So in my subjective view your revert of my edit made the article worse.

<section begin="technews-2019-W34"/><div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr"><div class="plainlinks">
Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/34|Translations]] are available.

'''Tech News'''
* There will be no Tech News issue next week. The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 2 September 2019.

'''Problems'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Some abuse filters stopped working because of a code change. Only variables for the current action will work. Variables defined inside a branch may not work outside of that branch. You can [[phab:T230256|read more]] to see how to fix the filters.
* Only six accounts can be created from one [[:w:en:IP address|IP address]] per day. Between 12 August and August 15 this was two accounts per day. This was because of a security issue. It is now six accounts per day again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230521]

'''Changes later this week'''
* Only a limited number of accounts can be created from one [[:w:en:IP address|IP address]]. An IP address can be [[:w:en:Whitelisting |whitelisted]] so that it can create as many accounts as needed. This is useful at events where many new persons learn to edit. IP addresses that are whitelisted for this reason will also not show [[w:en:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHAs]] when you create accounts. This will happen on Wednesday. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T227487]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/wmf.19|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 August. It will be on all wikis from 22 August ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Meetings'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190821T15 21 August at 15:00 (UTC)]. See [[mw:Technical Advice IRC Meeting|how to join]].

'''Future changes'''
* There is an [[:w:en: Request for Comments|RFC]] about creating a new global user group with the right to edit [[:mw:Extension:AbuseFilter|abuse filters]]. This will be used to fix broken filters and make sure all filters will still work when software changes happen. You can [[:m:Requests for comment/Creating abusefilter-manager global group|read more and comment]].
* <code>Special:Contributions/newbies</code> will no longer be working. This is because of performance reasons. It showed edits by new accounts. You can see this in the recent changes feed instead. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220447]

== Thanks for your message ==

Hello. Why is it suspicious to add "so-called" before "Chinese unification" in the "New Party" article? Many Taiwanese reject the premise of the term--that Taiwan is a part of China--and so adding "so-called" makes that clear.  Without that, it seems to take a heavy blue/red slant.

'''Recent changes'''
* You can use the new [[wikidata:Wikidata:Development/Termbox|termbox]] interface if you edit Wikidata on a mobile device. This is to edit labels, descriptions and aliases easier on the mobile pages. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2019-August/013355.html]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/wmf.20|new version]] of MediaWiki has been deployed during the last week.
* The previously announced change of positions of the "Wikidata item" link on all wikis has been rollbacked due to unexpected cache issues. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66315#5431632]
* The limit for rollbacks has been increased from 10 to 100 rollbacks per minute. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T228708] 
* The advanced version of the edit review pages (Recent Changes, Watchlist, and Related Changes) now include two new filters. These filters are for "All contents" and "All discussions". They will filter the view to just those namespaces. However the "All discussions" filter does not include pseudo talk pages, like discussions that are in the ''Project:'' or ''Wikipedia:'' namespaces. But it will include changes happening on ''Project talk:'' or the ''Wikipedia talk:''. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T201520]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/wmf.21|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2019-09-03|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2019-09-04|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2019-09-05|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* When you log in, the software checks your password to see if it follows the [[Special:MyLanguage/Password policy|Password policy]]. From this week, it will also complain if your password is one of the most common passwords in the world. If your password is not strong enough, please consider to [[Special:PasswordReset|change your password]] for a [[w:en:Password strength|stronger password]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151425]

== Edits to Jamil Jivani's page[[User:Youronto|Youronto]] ([[User talk:Youronto|talk]]) 18:15, 24 September 2019 (UTC) ==

Hi Susmuffin,

I was wondering why my edits on Jamil Jivani's page were seen an not constructive? I spent a lot of time during the summer getting the information from Jamil Jivani (my boss) himself. I do not think it's fair that you removed the changes I made because they were perceived to be "not constructive", when he gave me all the information to populate his page with. Isn't the whole point of Wikipedia to contribute to contribute to the collective pool of knowledge we have as human beings? Why are you governing what is being proposed, especially when it was not racist, homophobic or discriminatory in any way? Is there any way you can revert back to the changes I made? If you can this would be greatly appreciated. (24/09/19)

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/40|Translations]] are available.

'''Problems'''
* Last week's Tech News had delivery problems. Some did not get the newsletter. Some got it more than one time. The problem where some pages got it three times should now be fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232379]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/wmf.25|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2019-10-01|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2019-10-02|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2019-10-03|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Meetings'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20191002T15 {{#time:j xg|2019-10-02|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}} at 15:00 (UTC)]. See [[mw:Technical Advice IRC Meeting|how to join]].

'''Future changes'''
* The Wikimedia Foundation [[m:Community Tech|Community Tech team]] is working on a [[:m:Community Tech/Watchlist Expiry|watchlist expiry feature]]. This means you can put things on your watchlist for a period of time instead of forever. They are looking for [[:m:Community Tech/Watchlist Expiry#Open Questions|feedback on the questions they have]].
* [[Special:Contributions|Special:Contributions]] will get the standard [[mw:UX standardization|OOUI look]]. This makes it easier to use on mobile and makes it look like other <code>Special:</code> pages. There is a [https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/User:Jdlrobson/compactspecialcontributions.css script] you can use to make the form smaller if you want to.

[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''
:*Following [[Special:Permalink/914738329#Proposal for C2F speedy deletion process|a discussion]], a new criterion for speedy category renaming was added: [[WP:C2F|C2F: One eponymous article]], which {{tq|applies if the category contains ''only'' an eponymous article or media file, provided that the category has not otherwise been emptied shortly before the nomination.

While there will be a local RfC {{tq|focus[ing] on how harassment and private complaints should be handled in the future}}, there is currently a global [[meta:Office actions/Community consultation on partial and temporary office actions/09 2019|community consultation on partial and temporary office actions]] in response to the [[WP:FRAM|incident]]. It will be open until October 30th.

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous'''
:*The Community Tech team has been working on a system for temporarily watching pages, and [[meta:Community Tech/Watchlist Expiry|welcomes feedback]].

'''Recent changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The [[mw:Extension:AbuseFilter|abuse filter function]] now has a faster [[w:en:Parsing|parser]]. This is to shorten the waiting time when you save an edit. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156095]

'''Problems'''
* There is a problem in the visual editor when you copy or delete text with footnotes. It will be fixed soon. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T234489]
 
'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.1|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 October. It will be on all wikis from 10 October ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* The [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2020|Community Wishlist Survey]] has a new format. It will focus on wikis that typically get less support. It will probably go back to the normal format next year. It is not decided exactly how it will work this year. You can [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist Survey 2020|leave feedback]].
* The [[:w:en:URL|URL]] of the Wikimedia wiki main pages could be changed. This is because the current URLs cause several problems. For example <code>https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page</code> would be <code>https://www.wikidata.org/</code> instead. You can [[phab:T120085|tell the developers]] if this would cause problems for your wiki.
* There is a new [[mw:Technical Community Newsletter/2019/October|technical community newsletter]]. You can read more about the work of Wikimedia's technical community. [[mw:Technical Community Newsletter/Subscribe|Subscribe]] to get the information in the future.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] [[w:en:Outreachy|Outreachy]] is an internship program for groups who are underrepresented in free and open-source software. There are seven Wikimedia projects about coding, documentation and quality assurance in the next round.

You [[:wikitech:HTTPS/Browser Recommendations|can't read]] Wikimedia wikis in Internet Explorer on Windows XP or Windows versions that are older than Windows XP.

API modules marked as internal were probably internal before. It was easier to miss. You should look for non-internal alternatives. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185508]

'''Problems'''
* There is a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Translate|translation tool]] we use on wikis with more than one language. For a few days it did not create pages for new languages when someone translated a page. The languages did not show in the language bar. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235027]
* The history and diffs can show wrong content. This is because of a cache problem. It will soon be fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235188]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.3|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 October. It will be on all wikis from 24 October ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* [[m:WMDE_Technical_Wishes/ReferencePreviews|Reference Previews]] will be a beta feature on [[phab:T235083|all Wikipedias and some Wikivoyages]]. It shows you a preview of the footnote when you hover over or click on the number. It has been a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia since April.

'''Meetings'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC.

When you preview a page it returns <code>""</code> (empty string). When you read a page it returns <code>"-"</code> (dash). In the future this will also affect other namespaces. The next ones are file and category namespaces. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235957]

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T238216]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] There is a new dataset you can use. It shows the number of editors per country per month for a number of countries.

'''Problems'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Linter|Linter extension]] helps you find technical errors in articles. It did not show new changes last week. This was because of an [[:w:en:Application programming interface|API]] problem. It is now working again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T240057]
* [[Special:Watchlist|Special:Watchlist]] can show the wrong information again. It does not always show which edits are read and which are unread. This is because of a database problem. The developers are working on solving the problem. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218511]

'''Changes later this week'''
* You can get email notifications. You can get them immediately, a summary every day or a summary once every week. If you choose a summary you can soon choose not to get notifications you have already marked as read on the wiki. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T169386]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.11|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 December.

'''Future changes'''
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community health initiative/Partial blocks|partial blocks]] feature is now stable. It will come to most wikis on 6 January. Your wiki can ask to wait. Contact [[User talk:NKohli (WMF)|NKohli (WMF)]] if you don't want it now. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218626]

:* A [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Partial blocks|request for comment]] asks whether [[Wikipedia:Community health initiative on English Wikipedia/Partial blocks|partial blocks]] should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
:*A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Proposal:_Procedural_removal_of_admin_rights_who_have_not_used_the_admin_tools_for_a_significant_period_of_time_(maybe_5_years)|proposal]] asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
:*Following a [[Special:Permalink/930227008#RfC on autopatrolling redirects|successful RfC]], a whitelist is now available for users whose [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers/Redirect autopatrol|redirects will be autopatrolled]] by a bot, removing them from the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|new pages patrol]] queue. Admins can add such users to [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist]] after a discussion following the guidelines at [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist]].

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:* The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 4|fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles]] was [[Special:Permalink/931649192#Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 4 closed|closed]]. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being {{tq|the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted}} rather than {{tq|reasonably construed}}.
:* Following the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2019#Results|2019 Arbitration Committee elections]], the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: {{noping|Beeblebrox}}, {{noping|Bradv}}, {{noping|Casliber}}, {{noping|David Fuchs}}, {{noping|DGG}}, {{noping|KrakatoaKatie}}, {{noping|Maxim}}, {{noping|Newyorkbrad}}, {{noping|SoWhy}}, {{noping|Worm That Turned}}, {{noping|Xeno}}.

'''Recent changes'''
* You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser use very old [[:w:en:Transport Layer Security|TLS]]. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It can lead to [[:w:en:Downgrade attack|downgrade attacks]]. Since 9 December you just see a warning. Soon the browser will not connect to the wikis at all. Most are users on Android systems older than 4.4. You can read the [[:wikitech:HTTPS/Browser Recommendations|browser recommendations]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T238038]
* [[Special:LinkSearch|Special:LinkSearch]] has been moved from the "{{int:specialpages-group-redirects}}" section on [[Special:SpecialPages|Special:SpecialPages]] to the "{{int:specialpages-group-pages}}" section. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T242146]

'''Changes later this week'''
*[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Wikis can protect pages so that only some users can edit them. The standard protection levels are {{int:protect-level-autoconfirmed}} and {{int:Protect-level-sysop}}. If your wiki use more protection levels the technical name might be renamed for standardisation. This doesn't affect what users see. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230103]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.15|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 January. It will be on all wikis from 16 January ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* [[:wikitech:Nova Resource:Catgraph/Deepcat|Deepcat]] and [[:wikitech:Nova Resource:Catgraph|Catgraph]] will stop working. This will happen at the end of January. This is because you can now use the normal search function instead. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-January/092936.html]
* You can use <code><nowiki><ref follow="…"></nowiki></code> to merge footnotes that follow each other. It is meant to be used for digitised books on Wikisource. If the order of the footnotes is wrong no error was shown but the bad <nowiki><ref></nowiki> was shown outside the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> list. This will change and you will see an error message instead. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T240858]

== Théoden ==

I have tried to rewrite the article on Theoden to align with this statement

"Works of fiction are generally considered to "come alive" for their audience. They therefore exist in a kind of perpetual present, regardless of when the fictional action is supposed to take place relative to the reader's "now". Thus, generally you should write about fiction using the historical present tense, not the past tense. (See WP:Manual of Style § Verb tense and WP:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction § Contextual presentation.) Examples:

Homer presents, Achilles rages, Andromache laments, Priam pleads.
"Holden Caulfield has a certain disdain for what he sees as 'phony'."
"Friends is an American sitcom that was aired on NBC."

However I am facing being reverted and thwarted by two heavy handed undying supports of Tolkien cruft who will not let the text be changed in any way. This is frustrating, and the exact process that gives us the worst possible LotR related articles. It has also frustrated me to no end. Especially their mindless reverting of all my edits, even when I break out the one edit of removing a dead link so it is a seperate action they still undo it. This is frustrating, and clearly a case of harrassment and an attempt to assert ownership over an article.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 20:25, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
*If you could have a look at the [[Gondor]] article and talk pages it might help. I have tried to improve it a little. I am still astonded that there are only 8 non-primary sources, and I am not even sure all 8 of those are no-primary. The article has gone crazy in endless detail and now there are attempts to stop any editing or reformating or cutting back the unending absurdity and length of the article.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 20:54, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

'''Problems'''
* Some mobile diffs have problems. A couple of buttons are not shown. Structured data diffs on Commons are confusing. The developers are working on fixing it. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T242310][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T243235]

'''Changes later this week'''
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

'''Future changes'''
* There is JavaScript code on Special:Undelete for administrators that makes it possible to automatically select multiple checkboxes by holding the "Shift" key and clicking. This code is also loaded by accident on other special pages and on articles. This makes pages slower to load. This will be fixed. If you know of other special pages where this is useful please tell the developers at [[phab:T232688]].

* If you forget your password you can ask for a new one to be sent to your email address. You need to know your email address or your username. You will now be able to choose that you need to enter both your email address and your username. This will be a preference. This is to get fewer password reset emails someone else asked for. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Password_Reset_Update]
* When you asked for a new password you could see if the username didn't exist on [[Special:PasswordReset|Special:PasswordReset]]. Now the page will show the username you entered and tell you an email has been sent if the username exists. This is for better security. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Password_Reset_Update]
* On [[Special:WhatLinksHere|Special:WhatLinksHere]] you can see what other pages link to a page. You can see if the link is from a redirect. You can now see which section the redirect links to. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103281]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.22|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2020-03-03|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2020-03-04|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2020-03-05|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* The developers are working on a [[:m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Edit Conflicts#Edit conflicts on talk pages|new interface]] to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. You can [[mw:Help talk:Two Column Edit Conflict View|give feedback]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230231]
* There is a [[:m:Abuse filter manager/vote|vote]] on the creation of a new user group called [[:m:Abuse filter manager|abuse filter manager]]. The vote runs from March 1 to March 31 on Meta.
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] <code>wgMFSpecialCaseMainPage</code> was used for the mobile site. It was deprecated in 2017. It will stop working in April. Wikis should see if they use it. If they do they should fix it. You can [[phab:T246401|read more and ask for help]]. This affects 183 wikis. There is a [[phab:T246401|list]].

'''Problems'''
* Some development will be slower than planned. This is because of the [[:w:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic|current pandemic]]. You can see [[:wikitech:Deployments/Covid-19|the new deployment guidelines]]. This is to avoid risks when some persons could be unavailable.
* There was a problem when adding interwiki links. The tool you use to add interwiki links could suggest the wrong project to link to. This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T247712][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T247562]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.25|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 March. It will be on all wikis from 26 March ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* There is [[mw:Growth|a project]] to make editing easier for newcomers. The developers are trying to understand what initiatives different Wikipedias have to welcome newcomers. They also want to know which templates are often used for maintenance activities. You can help this project by [[mw:Growth/March 2020 inventory|checking if your wiki's pages are listed on Wikidata]].

'''Problems'''

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.27|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 April. It will be on all wikis from 9 April ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* MediaWiki will use a newer version of [[:w:en:Unicode|Unicode]]. Some characters that did not have an upper case equivalent before do now. Titles beginning with one of these characters will be moved. A list of these titles can be seen [[phab:P10817|on Phabricator]]. The titles will be renamed by the user <code>Maintenance script</code>. This will start on 13 April 2020. You can rename them before this if you wish and the new title can be different from the one the script would rename it to.

* There is a new [https://techblog.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia Technical Blog]. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_technical_blog_editorial_guidelines]

'''Problems'''
* There was a problem with the Wikidata database last week. Some wikis went down for twenty minutes. Wikidata and other projects showed error messages. Interwiki links were not shown, some tools did not work and other problems. Some of this was fixed quickly. The developers are working on fixing the rest. [https://www.wikidata.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Project_chat&oldid=1153486952#Update_about_the_database_breakage][https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/20200407-Wikidata%27s_wb_items_per_site_table_dropped][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T249565]

* For pages using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:SyntaxHighlight|syntax highlighting]], the use of the deprecated <code><nowiki><source></nowiki></code> tag, as well as the use of the deprecated <code>enclose</code> parameter, will add tracking categories.

* If you forget your password you can ask for a new one to be sent to your email address. You need to know your email address or your username.

* There is a new beta version of the [[:c:Commons:Mobile app|Wikimedia Commons app]] for Android. It has a new zoom function when you look at images. It can also suggest places when you upload geotagged photos. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-May/093431.html]

'''Problems'''
* There was a problem with the Commons database on 27 May. Commons could not be edited for eight minutes. Because of this problem the database was moved. This caused another short read-only time on 29 May.

'''Recent changes'''
* Some articles have tables that can be sorted in different ways. For example a list of countries can be sorted alphabetically but you can click on the size column to sort them by size. If you clicked on the column a second time it would sort the countries from the bottom to the top instead. A third click will now take you back to the original sorting.

* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Lint_errors/self-closed-tag|Self-closed tags]] now work as in the [[:w:en:HTML5|HTML5]] specifications. This means you should stop using some of them. <code><nowiki><b/></nowiki></code> is an example of a self-closed tag that won't work. <code>area, base, br, col, embed, hr, img, input, keygen, link, meta, param, source, track, wbr</code> can be self-closed. Pages with tags that should not be self-closed have been listed in [[:wikidata:Q25885956|a tracking category]] since 2016. They will be listed in [[Special:LintErrors/self-closed-tag]].

It will now been seen by mobile visitors too. Before this it was only seen on desktop. The wikis should update instructions on <code>MediaWiki:Sitenotice</code> so that editors know to test and style for mobile too.

* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.36|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 June. It will be on all wikis from 11 June ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. It will not work after 13 July. Wikis should use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateStyles|TemplateStyles]] instead. 118 wikis need to fix this. You can [[phab:T254287|read more and see if your wiki is affected]].

'''Recent changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] [[m:Toolforge|Toolforge]] hosts several tools created by the Wikimedia community like edit counters or enhanced editors. It is changing the domain from '''tools.wmflabs.org''' to '''toolforge.org'''. The routing scheme is moving from '''tools.wmflabs.org/toolname''' to '''toolname.toolforge.org'''. You can [[:wikitech:News/Toolforge.org|read the details]]. Tools that use OAuth will have to be updated to keep working. You can [[:wikitech:Help:Cloud_ Services Introduction|ask for help]].

'''Problems'''
* There is a Wikidata item link in the sidebar on many pages. This disappeared for a couple of days for users who have the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:MonoBook|Monobook]] skin. This was because of a bug. It has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T254485]
* Editing, logging in and logging out didn't work properly for a short period of time last week. It was soon fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T255179]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.37|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 June. It will be on all wikis from 18 June ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Pywikibot|Pywikibot]] is a Python [[:w:en:Library (computing)|library]] to automate work on wikis. It will not support [[:w:en:Python (programming language)|Python 2]] after the new version in July. Support for Python 3.4 and MediaWiki below 1.19 will also be dropped. You should migrate to Python 3. You can [[:phab:T242120|ask for help]]. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikibot-announce/2020-June/000015.html]
* The selectors <code>.menu</code> and <code>.vectorMenu</code> will no longer work in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Vector|Vector]] skin. This can affect gadgets and user scripts. <code>.menu</code>  should be replaced by <code>ul</code>. <code>.vectorMenu</code> should be replaced by <code>.vector-menu</code>.

'''Problems'''
* There are some [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Growth|new tools]] to make it easier for newcomers to start editing. They are available on [https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/growthexperiments.dblist some wikis].

* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Some user scripts and gadgets stopped working because of a change to [[:w:en:CSS|CSS]] selectors. <code>.vectorTabs</code> should be replaced with <code>.vector-menu-tabs</code> to fix this. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T255718]

'''Changes later this week'''
* The developers are working on a [[:m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Edit Conflicts#Edit conflicts on talk pages|new interface]] to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This will be released on 24 June.

'''Problems'''
* Everyone was logged out. This was because a few users saw the wikis as if they were logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-June/093543.html]
* Some readers didn't see new edits to pages. If the page had been recently changed they saw an older version of the page instead. This only affected readers who were logged out. It lasted for ten days. It has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T256444]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.39|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 June.

'''Future changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Modern|Modern]] and [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Monobook|Monobook]] skins use the ID <code>searchGoButton</code> for the go button.

This will affect gadgets and user scripts. It will happen on 23 July. They should be updated to use <code>searchButton</code>. You can [[phab:T255953|read more and see a list of affected scripts]].

'''Problems'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguageExtension:Score|Score]] extension has been disabled for now. This is because of a security issue. It will work again as soon as the security issue has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T257066]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.40|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 July. It will be on all wikis from 9 July ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.35/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* Abstract Wikipedia is a new Wikimedia project. It will collect language-independent information that can be easily read in different languages. It builds on Wikidata. The name is preliminary. You can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|read more]]. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-July/093571.html]
* The [[mw:Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS|iOS Wikipedia app]] developers are thinking about new experimental tools. If you use an iPhone you can help them by [[mw:Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/2020 survey|answering the survey]].
* Some [[mw:New requirements for user signatures#Outcome|rules for user signatures]] will soon be enforced. [[Special:LintErrors|Lint errors]] and invalid HTML will no longer be allowed in user signatures. Nested substitution will not be allowed. A link to your user page, user talk page or user contributions will be required. You can [https://signatures.toolforge.org/check check if your signature works with the new rules]. This is because the signatures can cause problems for tools or other text on the page.

== Usernames for administrator attention ==

Hello, Susmuffin.  I noticed that you [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Usernames_for_administrator_attention&diff=967813012&oldid=967811409 reported] Chris Langan at [[WP:UAA]] for using his real name (which is well-known) as his username.  That page is intended for usernames "requiring an immediate block".  In this case, although a user had [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Chris_Langan&diff=962387616&oldid=962387272 asked him] last month to confirm his identity, they had not linked to the relevant policy ([[WP:REALNAME]]).  Thus, Chris had no warning that he was at risk of a block.  In the future, if you are in doubt about an established user, could you first warn them, and provide a link to the appropriate policy, before you report them at UAA?  Thanks.

'''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 [[phab:T254287|in Phabricator]]. This is the same problem that was reported in Tech News [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/24|2020/24]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/26|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. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T257625]
* Some users keep getting the notifications for the same event. Some of these are old events. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T257714]
* Some users have trouble logging in. This is probably a [[:w:en:HTTP cookie|browser cookie]] problem. The developers are working on understanding the problem. If you have trouble logging in you can see the details [[phab:T258121|on Phabricator]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T258121]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.1|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 ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Future changes'''
* There is a <code>{{int:printableversion}}</code> link. This will disappear. That is because web browsers today can create a printable version or show how it will look in print anyway. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T167956]

'''Problems'''
* All queries to the [[mw:Wikidata Query Service|Wikidata Query Service]] failed between 17:50 and 17:59 UTC on Thursday 23 July. Some queries failed during a longer period. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/20200723-wdqs-outage]
* Interlanguage links were ordered incorrectly for the past few weeks. This problem was also mentioned in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/30|Tech News two weeks ago]]. The problem is now fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T257625]
* There is a problem with the [[Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|global preferences]] for the "{{int:prefs-vector-enable-vector-1-label}}" option. Developers are working on fixing it. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T258493]
* 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. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T258323]

'''Changes later this week'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:TimedMediaHandler/VideoJS Player|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. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T248418]
* Users' <code>global.js</code> and <code>global.css</code> pages will now also be loaded on the mobile site. You can read [[mw:Help:Extension:GlobalCssJs#Per-skin_customization|documentation]] for how to avoid applying styles to the mobile skin. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138727]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] In the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:MonoBook|MonoBook]] skin, the <code>searchGoButton</code> identifier is now <code>searchButton</code>. This may affect CSS and JS gadgets. Migration instructions can be found in [[phab:T255953|T255953]]. This was previously mentioned in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/27|issue 27]].
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Bot operators can use Pywikibot to regularly archive discussions. The behavior when the bot uses <code>counter</code> to prevent large archives was changed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T215247]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.3|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 ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/Roadmap|calendar]]).

Hi there, I'm [[User:MDanielsBot|MDanielsBot]]. I just wanted to let you know that [[Draft:Frank "Rocky" Fiegel]], 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 [[WP:USERFY|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]].

'''Recent changes'''
* [[m:WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Move_files_to_Commons|FileImporter and FileExporter]] became standard features on all Wikis during the first week of August.

'''Recent changes'''
* If you revert an edit using the undo link your edit is marked with an <code>undo</code> 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. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259014]
* The new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OOUI|OOUI version]] will not work with [[:w:en:Internet Explorer 8|Internet Explorer 8]]. This means the wikis will look strange and not work well in Internet Explorer 8. This was reported in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/17|Tech/News/2020/17]]. This is because keeping the wikis working with very old browsers creates other problems. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-August/093718.html]

An article you recently created, [[Draft:Algernon Blackwood bibliography|Algernon Blackwood bibliography]], does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from [[WP:RS|reliable]], [[WP:IS|independent sources]]. <small>([[WP:42|?]])</small> Information that can't be referenced should be removed ([[WP:V|verifiability]] is of [[WP:5|central importance]] on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to [[Wikipedia:Draftspace|draftspace]] (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

==Edit comments==

Hi Susmuffin, I wouldn't want to cramp your style or impede your editing, but "this should be here" or "this is better" tells other editors almost nothing about the edit being made. I know it's nice to keep comments short, but "repos auth control" is no longer and a great deal clearer. Just a suggestion.

==Your draft article, [[Draft:Frank "Rocky" Fiegel]]==
[[File:Information icon4.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

Hello, Susmuffin. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|Draft]] page you started, "[[Draft:Frank "Rocky" Fiegel|Frank "Rocky" Fiegel]]". 

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]], the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Frank "Rocky" Fiegel|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code. 

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at [[WP:REFUND/G13|this link]]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! <!-- Template:Db-draft-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:UnitedStatesian|UnitedStatesian]] ([[User talk:UnitedStatesian|talk]]) 04:22, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification for September 3==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited [[Prose poetry]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Illuminations]]<!-- ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Prose_poetry check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Prose_poetry?client=notify fix with Dab solver])-->. Such links are [[WP:INTDABLINK|usually incorrect]], since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].)</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 06:23, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/37|Translations]] are available.

'''Changes later this week'''
* 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. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T239277] 
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/wmf.8|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 ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.36/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] All MediaWiki [[:w:en:API|API]] modules will now use <code>watchlist</code> instead of <code>watch</code>. This was inconsistent before. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T247915]

'''Future changes'''
* The [[mw:Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android|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 [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/Patrolling conversation|page on mediawiki.org]].
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/OTRS|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. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T187984]
* The Wikipedia Android app will send [[:mw:Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/AppEditorTasks#Push Notifications for editors|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 [[:w:en:Google Play Services|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 [[:w:en:Android KitKat|Android 4.4]] users. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android#Updates][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146032]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Wikimedia code review could move to [[:w:en:GitLab|GitLab]]. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers. You can take part in the [[mw:GitLab consultation|consultation]].
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Dropdown menus in [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Vector|the Vector skin]] use a <code>.menu</code> class. This will not work in the future. Scripts can use <code>nav ul</code> instead. <code>.vectorTabs</code> and <code>.vectorMenu</code> will also not work. Some scripts need to be updated. You can [[phab:T262092|read more in Phabricator]].
