• The visual editor can generate wikicode with image options in your language. Examples of image options are "thumb" or "left". You can ask to change to options in your language in Phabricator. [1][2]
• Wiktionaries and Wikisources can now use the visual editor. It is an opt-in beta feature. It still needs development to work better with these projects. [3][4]
• ORES is using new models. Tools that use ORES' predictions can behave strangely. ORES also has a new API. [5]
• The visual editor now supports classical Greek characters. [6]

Problems

• There was a bug when you used keyboard arrows in templates in the visual editor. This has now been fixed. [7]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 April. It will be on all wikis from 14 April (calendar).
• The wikipedia.org portal will get many small bug fixes and improvements. Most will be for the search box and suggested results that were added in March. [8]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tress MacNeille

Hi. On Tress MacNeille there is always a user with only one contribution adding trying to add the same unsourced content, and obviously a addition like this to a BLP should be rejected. In addition, this discussion might interest you. Thanks! Politrukki (talk) 11:23, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

NAC

Hi Tom. You NAC'ed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I'm Rose, Darling but did not follow the instructions in WP:CLOSEAFD. I have fixed it. Regards, Sam Sailor ^Talk! 12:35, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sam Sailor: Sorry, I'm not very good at closing these things. Thanks for the fix! Tom29739 ^[talk] 16:25, 25 April 2016 (UTC).

Arnab Goswami

Hi Tom,

While I understand Wikipedia policies, I would also want to emphasise that I am careful regarding my edits and only thing that's been added is his name in Assamese Language as he hails from the region of Assam, India and is an Assamese by ethnicity! There are many personalities who have their names written in their native language of the region they belong to, so I am not not sure why this is selective for an Assamese person!? This is a news interview in Assamese taken in Guwahati, Assam for your reference.

His Assamese ethnicity is listed here.

His identity can be referenced from here.

Further write-ups.

Regarding his religion, he is a Hindu, thus his religion is Hinduism however, Goswami is written by Brahmins, so he is an Assamese Brahmin.

The inclusion is legitimate, and entire Assam is aware of Arnab's ethnicity and his sect of Hinduism.

Please accept inclusion of the text. 109.155.77.116 (talk) 19:11, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

You need to include a source in your addition. Tom29739 ^[talk] 19:13, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your response! I have cited sources for my addition - pending review. 109.155.77.116 (talk) 19:27, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-17

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• Wikimedia tested a new data center last week. This meant that the wikis could be read but not edited for 45 minutes on April 19 and for 20 minutes on April 21. [15]
• When the data center was tested, new edits were not shown in the recent changes log for 20 minutes. They are in the logs now. You can read more about how to find the edits.
• Unread notifications were sometimes counted incorrectly. This has now been fixed. [16]

Changes this week

• Wikimedia Commons will have better access to Wikidata. They can use data from any page on Wikidata on any page on Commons. This will happen on April 26. [17]
• It will be easier to choose if you want to watch files you have uploaded with the upload wizard. [18]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from April 26. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from April 27. It will be on all wikis from April 28 (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on April 26 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The "Save page" button when you edit will be called "Publish" instead. This is to help new editors understand what it does. It already works like this on some wikis. [19]
