Bot Guide

hello i need your help with archiving, :) since you're operating a bot that archives Successful and unsuccessful Requests can you please help me in CKB wiki there is no bot to Archive Requests that'd been completed. —— 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 19:56, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MusikAnimal also if Possible can you allow us to have your bot in our wiki? like bring your bot and activate it in there? —— 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 21:25, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sakura emad Right now the bot is fairly hardwired to enwiki's request for permissions process. If you have an identical process at ckbwiki, I may be able to help, but it's still a lot of work on my end as I'd need to make it translatable. I'm not sure I will have time for this is the near future, but I shall try :) — MusikAnimal talk 21:34, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
thank you for Caring about the request, it really made me happy 😊, Please can you explain more about the hardships you will get?, if this is about translation we already had InterArchiveBot for that we did Translation ourselves. —— 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 19:40, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2021-39

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

Recent changes

  • iOS 15 has a new function called Private Relay (Apple website). This can hide the user's IP when they use Safari browser. This is like using a VPN in that we see another IP address instead. It is opt-in and only for those who pay extra for iCloud. It will come to Safari users on OSX later. There is a technical discussion about what this means for the Wikimedia wikis.

Problems

  • Advanced item Some gadgets and user-scripts add items to the portlets (article tools) part of the skin. A recent change to the HTML may have made those links a different font-size. This can be fixed by adding the CSS class .vector-menu-dropdown-noicon. [1]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 September. It will be on all wikis from 30 September (calendar).
  • The GettingStarted extension was built in 2013, and provides an onboarding process for new account holders in a few versions of Wikipedia. However, the recently developed Growth features provide a better onboarding experience. Since the vast majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features, GettingStarted will be deactivated starting on 4 October. [2]
  • A small number of users will not be able to connect to the Wikimedia wikis after 30 September. This is because an old root certificate will no longer work. They will also have problems with many other websites. Users who have updated their software in the last five years are unlikely to have problems. Users in Europe, Africa and Asia are less likely to have immediate problems even if their software is too old. You can read more.
  • You can receive notifications when someone leaves a comment on user talk page or mentions you in a talk page comment. Clicking the notification link will now bring you to the comment and highlight it. Previously, doing so brought you to the top of the section that contained the comment. You can find more information in T282029.

Template:User WP/id

Hi, I've been away for a while due to personal reasons, but now that I'm back at work here I've noticed this change. I'm not a master in protection policies... can I still add projects to the list? I mean, am I still allowed to edit the template? Sorry for my confusion and thanks in advance --Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 01:33, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Est. 2021: yes, you can - it is only protected against newer editors making changes. — xaosflux Talk 01:54, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Your Mom" vandalism

I had posted this on EFN a while back, but it was archived without a response. Don't remember which specific filter it is, but I know there is a filter that is blocking various additions of "Your Mom" and related vandalism. I think whichever filter does this should be extended to account creations if possible, i.e. in order to prevent usernames like this from being registered (note that this account was my original case example).

Show values as default.

In the settings of the pageviews tool, I wish I could set the "show values" box as a default setting... that would be helpful. Just a suggestion. Thanks. --Bageense(disc.) 19:18, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – October 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2021).

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

Arbitration

  • A motion has standardised the 500/30 (extended confirmed) restrictions placed by the Arbitration Committee. The standardised restriction is now listed in the Arbitration Committee's procedures.
  • Following the closure of the Iranian politics case, standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, post-1978 Iranian politics, broadly construed.
  • The Arbitration Committee encourages uninvolved administrators to use the discretionary sanctions procedure in topic areas where it is authorised to facilitate consensus in RfCs. This includes, but is not limited to, enforcing sectioned comments, word/diff limits and moratoriums on a particular topic from being brought in an RfC for up to a year.

Miscellaneous

  • Editors have approved expanding the trial of Growth Features from 2% of new accounts to 25%, and the share of newcomers getting mentorship from 2% to 5%. Experienced editors are invited to add themselves to the mentor list.
  • The community consultation phase of the 2021 CheckUser and Oversight appointments process is open for editors to provide comments and ask questions to candidates.

T288840

Hi, I noticed that you're working on phab:T288840: I can't understand whether if the WMF/Wikimedia Community is going to start working on those APIs or if Gesis will still own/mantain it, would you be so kind to clarify this to me?

Thank you! ValeJappo (talk) 16:23, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
