== Goodbye ==

While we've [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=119702811 almost] never interacted, I've always seen you as a force for good on the project. Losing such a positive contributor to the community is always a shame, but it's especially sad that this all stemmed from the tiniest of misjudgements during a stressful situation.

You'll be missed, but I trust you to be doing the right thing. Take care, and thanks for all your contributions over the years. [[User:WindTempos|WindTempos]] <sup>([[User talk:WindTempos|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/WindTempos|contribs]])</sup> 13:47, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your many years of dedicated service to the project, and best of luck wherever your journey takes you! [[User:DanCherek|DanCherek]] ([[User talk:DanCherek|talk]]) 13:53, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

== You will be missed ==

Joining the chorus of those saddened to see you go. I remember when I was first starting out as an editor, and at least one other admin was completely dismissive when I asked for help, you were there to help me learn the ropes, and trusted me with permissions like rollback. I honestly don't know if I would have stayed a Wikipedia editor for good after first joining if you hadn't been there to guide me. You've done an immense amount of work to make this website run smoothly, never been afraid to speak your mind even when it wasn't popular, and stood up for those who lacked a voice. We will continue on without you, but it will never be the same. Your humor, wit, and kindness above all will be sorely missed. This is the closest I've ever come to wanting to quit Wikipedia myself; I've decided to stay on behalf of the readers who depend on us every day. But I remain aghast at this situation and how poorly ArbCom handled it, and will agitate for changes, including in the membership of the committee.

just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me and the community.

The arbitration case ''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Reversal and reinstatement of Athaenara's block|Reversal and reinstatement of Athaenara's block]]'' has now closed and the final decision [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Reversal_and_reinstatement_of_Athaenara's_block#Final_decision|has been posted]]. The following remedies and motions are part of the final decision:

*For breaches of Wikipedia's administrative norms, Lourdes is warned.
*For conduct which fell short of the high standards of behavior expected of functionaries, the CheckUser permissions of TheresNoTime are removed. They may seek to regain them only through the usual appointment methods.
*For conduct which fell short of the high standards of behavior expected of functionaries, the Oversight permissions of TheresNoTime are removed. They may seek to regain them only through the usual appointment methods.
*For serious breaches of Wikipedia's administrative norms and of the CheckUser policy, TheresNoTime is admonished.
*The Arbitration Committee wishes to express that {{slink|Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures#Actions by parties to a proceeding}} does not apply to TheresNoTime given that a majority of active arbitrators had opposed desysopping them at the time they relinquished their adminship.

Thank you for all you have done for the encyclopedia and its community. Our paths never closely crossed, but of course I know and admire your work as an admin and editor. I've always liked your user name because it had two distinct interpretations (if not more than two): There's no time...like get it done now because if not now when? and There's no time...like time is a construct and all things exist simultaneously. I hope the outpouring of love and appreciation from all your colleagues here gives you some sense of comfort and that you return after taking some time to rest and recover from the recent high drama.

Very briefly: In real life I’m in my fifties and a senior attorney. (My most employment-worthy professional “superpower” is parsing procedural rules on the fly in emergency situations. [I think my compound-modifier-hyphenation reflex is of greater benefit to the written English corpus, but anyway.])

I supervise a bunch of young lawyers and you are a far better writer and a far more dedicated advocate than any of them. I don’t have hiring authority, but I would pitch a hissyfit and demand that you be interviewed upon my firm’s next opening, if you had a law license in my state. 

I haven’t had the time or wherewithal to be competently up to date on this issue. You seem to have gone outside of procedure and gotten in trouble for breaching privacy concerns. That’s not good, but you meant well and you were brave. 

Please don’t leave this project. Please step outside the Wikiverse and recognize that even though you might have done something inappropriate, you at least DID IT, and few would have, and you have that arrow in your quiver forever.

@TNT, you are such a beautiful Song and I, personally, will miss your uniqueness on this project. I stated before that I appreciate you. Now let me add that I will always appreciate you. Your impact here is undeniable. You have affected so many of us in a positive way, even when we may have disagreed. What ever you do going forward I hope with the sincerest desire that it is successful and I have no doubt it will be. Thank you for every contribution. Your passion, your compassion and your dedication to this project has been amazing to see. Many hugs and keep singing you. Remember what I said.

== WikiCup 2022 November newsletter ==

The 2022 WikiCup has drawn to a close with the final round going down to the wire. The '''2022 champion''' is 
*{{flagicon|England}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]] (1752 points), who won in 2020 and was runner up in both 2019 and last year. In the final round he achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on cue sports. He was closely followed by 
*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]] (1732), who specialised in "In the news" items and DYKs, and who has reached the final round of the Cup for the past three years. Next was
*[[File:ICS Zulu.svg|20px|Zulu (International Code of Signals)]] [[User:BennyOnTheLoose|BennyOnTheLoose]] (1238), another cue sports enthusiast, also interested in songs, followed by 
*{{flagicon|New York City}} [[User:Muboshgu|Muboshgu]] (1082), an "In the news" contributor, a seasoned contestant who first took part in the Cup ten years ago. Other finalists were 
*[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|23px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]] (930), who scored with a featured article, good articles and DYKs on TV and radio stations,
*{{flagicon|United Nations}} [[User:Kavyansh.Singh|Kavyansh.Singh]] (370), who created various articles on famous Americans, including an FA on [[Louis H. Bean]], famed for his prediction of election outcomes. Next was

*{{flagicon|Toronto}} [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] (25) who had DYKs on various topics including historic Canadians.

During the WikiCup, contestants achieved 37 featured articles, 349 good articles, 360 featured article reviews, 683 good article reviews and 480 In the news items, so Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors. Well done everyone! All those who reached the final round will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or the overall leader in this field.

*{{flagicon|England}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]] wins the featured article prize, for a total of 6 FAs during the course of the competition and 3 in the final round.
*{{flagicon|United Nations}} [[User:Kavyansh.Singh|Kavyansh.Singh]] wins the featured list prize, for 3 FLs in round 2.
*[[File:Pirate Flag of Jack Rackham.svg|25px]] [[User:Adam Cuerden|Adam Cuerden]] wins the featured picture prize, for 39 FPs during the competition.
*{{flagicon|Toronto}} [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 35 FARs in round 4.

*[[File:Flag of Provo, Utah (1989–2015).svg|23px|link=Flag of Provo, Utah]] [[User:SounderBruce|SounderBruce]] wins the featured topic prize, for 4 FT articles in round 1.
*{{flagicon|England}} [[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]] wins the good topic prize, for 34 GT articles in round 5.
*[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|23px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]] wins the good article reviewer prize, for 71 GARs overall.
*[[File:Transgender Pride flag.svg|23px]] [[User:Sammi Brie|Sammi Brie]] wins the Did you know prize, for 30 DYKs in round 3 and 106 overall.
*{{flagicon|Kingdom of Scotland|old}} [[User:Bloom6132|Bloom6132]] wins the In the news prize, for 106 ITNs in round 5 and 289 overall.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January and possible changes to the rules and scoring are being discussed [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup#Points_for_next_year|on the discussion page]]. You are invited to '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2023 signups|sign up to take part]]''' in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to have a good turnout for the 2023 competition.

== Pronounciation of ANI ==

I have seen you are interested in the pronunciation and it is not the first time I see the options A-N-I or Annie. I have an other pronunciations you might also can include as a possibility. I often think of the ANI as Ahni. In Ahni the Ah is pronounced like the A of Barn and the NI like the NI in Barney.

Hello. I am a little concerned. I got a message saying I made a disruptive edit. But without being told when, or what I changed. [[Special:Contributions/103.146.92.31|103.146.92.31]] ([[User talk:103.146.92.31|talk]]) 23:47, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

'''Recent changes'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The Wikisources use a tool called ProofreadPage. ProofreadPage uses OpenSeadragon which is an open source tool. The OpenSeadragon JavaScript API has been significantly re-written to support dynamically loading images. The functionality provided by the older version of the API should still work but it is no longer supported. User scripts and gadgets should migrate over to the newer version of the API. The functionality provided by the newer version of the API is [[mw:Extension:Proofread_Page/Page_viewer#JS_API|documented on MediaWiki]].

'''Tech News'''
* Because of the [[w:en:Christmas and holiday season|holidays]] the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2023.

'''Recent changes'''
* On a user's contributions page, you can filter it for edits with a tag like 'reverted'. Now, you can also filter for all edits that are not tagged like that. This was part of a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119072]
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] A new function has been used for gadget developers to add content underneath the title on article pages. This is considered a stable API that should work across all skins. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/ResourceLoader/Core_modules#addSubtitle|Documentation is available]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T316830]

More Wikis will switch to this new infrastructure in early 2023. Please test and let us know of any issues. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290536]

'''Problems'''
* Last week, all wikis had no edit access for 9 minutes. This was caused by a database problem. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incidents/2022-12-13_sessionstore]

'''Changes later this week'''
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
* The word "{{int:discussiontools-replybutton}}" is very short in some languages, such as Arabic ("<bdi lang="ar">ردّ</bdi>"). This makes the {{int:discussiontools-preference-label}} button on talk pages difficult to use. An arrow icon will be added to those languages. This will only be visible to editors who have the [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|Beta Feature]] turned on. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_project/Usability#Status] [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T323537]

'''Future changes'''
* Edits can be automatically "tagged" by the system software or the {{int:Abusefilter}} system. Those tags link to a help page about the tags. Soon they will also link to Recent Changes to let you see other edits tagged this way. This was a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T301063]
* The Trust & Safety tools team [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Private Incident Reporting System/Timeline and Updates|have shared new plans]] for building the Private Incident Reporting System. The system will make it easier for editors to ask for help if they are harassed or abused. 
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Real Time Preview for Wikitext|Realtime Preview for Wikitext]] is coming out of beta as an enabled feature for every user of the 2010 Wikitext [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Editor|editor]] in the week of January 9, 2023. It will be available to use via the toolbar in the 2010 Wikitext editor. The feature was the 4th most popular wish of the Community Wishlist Survey 2021.

'''Events'''
* You can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Hackathon 2023/Participate|register for the Wikimedia Hackathon 2023]], taking place on May 19–21 in Athens, Greece. You can also apply for a scholarship until January 14th.

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/2023/02|Translations]] are available.

'''Recent changes'''
* You can use tags to filter edits in the recent changes feed or on your watchlist. You can now use tags to filter out edits you don't want to see. Previously you could only use tags to focus on the edits with those tags. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174349]
* [[Special:WhatLinksHere|Special:WhatLinksHere]] shows all pages that link to a specific page. There is now a [https://wlh.toolforge.org prototype] for how to sort those pages alphabetically. You can see the discussion in the [[phab:T4306|Phabricator ticket]].
* You can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Thanks|thanks]] function on your watchlist and the user contribution page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T51541]
* A wiki page can be moved to give it a new name. You can now get a dropdown menu with common reasons when you move a page. This is so you don't have to write the explanation every time. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T325257]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Matrix.org|Matrix]] is a chat tool. You can now use <code>matrix:</code> to create Matrix links on wiki pages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326021]
* You can filter out translations when you look at the recent changes on multilingual wikis. This didn't hide translation pages. You can now also hide subpages which are translation pages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T233493]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Real Time Preview for Wikitext|Realtime preview for wikitext]] is a tool which lets editors preview the page when they edit wikitext. It will be enabled for all users of the 2010 wikitext editor. You will find it in the editor toolbar.
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on {{#time:j xg|2023-01-10|en}} at 07:00 UTC ([https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s5.dblist targeted wikis]) and on {{#time:j xg|2023-01-12|en}} at 07:00 UTC ([https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s6.dblist targeted wikis]).
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.40/wmf.18|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2023-01-10|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2023-01-11|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2023-01-12|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.40/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Problems'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|alt=|Advanced item]] The URLs in "{{int:last}}" links on page history now contain <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>diff=prev&oldid=[revision ID]</nowiki></code></bdi> in place of <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>diff=[revision ID]&oldid=[revision ID]</nowiki></code></bdi>. This is to fix a problem with links pointing to incorrect diffs when history was filtered by a tag. Some user scripts may break as a result of this change. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T243569]

'''Changes later this week'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.40/wmf.19|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2023-01-17|en}}.

* Some [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Usability|changes to the appearance of talk pages]] have only been available on <code>{{ns:1}}:</code> and <code>{{ns:3}}:</code> namespaces.  These will be extended to other talk namespaces, such as <code>{{ns:5}}:</code>.  They will continue to be unavailable in non-talk namespaces, including <code>{{ns:4}}:</code> pages (e.g., at the Village Pump).  You can [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion|change your preferences]] ([[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta feature]]). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T325417]
*On Wikisources, when an image is zoomed or panned in the Page: namespace, the same zoom and pan settings will be remembered for all Page: namespace pages that are linked to a particular Index: namespace page. [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/ProofreadPage/+/868841]
* The Vector 2022 skin will become the default for the English Wikipedia desktop users. The change will take place on January 18 at 15:00 UTC. [[:en:w:Wikipedia:Vector 2022|Learn more]].

'''Future changes'''
* The 2023 edition of the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2023|Community Wishlist Survey]], which invites contributors to make technical proposals and vote for tools and improvements, starts next week on 23 January 2023 at 18:00 UTC.

==CSV file==
Hi. I'm currently working on [[User:KiranBOT/MOSTREFS]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:KiranBOT/MOSTREFS&action=history history]). I have created a pywikibot script utilising CSV files that works fine through my computer. But if I run the same script from toolforge, then the CSV files remain unchanged. I fiddled with file permissions, and path in the script but still no effect. Would it be okay if I sent you a detailed email including the .py file?

== Tag request ==

Hey TNT! Would you mind creating a tag for the [[WP:AntiVandal]] script? It should link to that page and have the description <code><nowiki>Edits made using the [[Wikipedia:AntiVandal|]] script.</nowiki></code> Thanks! &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Ingenuity|Ingenuity]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Ingenuity|talk]]&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Ingenuity|contribs]]) 02:10, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
