WP:UAA Report for Shreya chapter247
Greetings! I saw that you reported Shreya chapter247 at WP:UAA as a username violation [9]. Please be aware that per WP:ISU, usernames that contain a company name but also contain a personal name are expressly permitted, such as in this case. I denied the WP:UAA on these grounds, but blocked the account anyway for failure to abide by WP:PAID, which they had been advised of on their talk page. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:10, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Tech News
- Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 11 January 2021.
Recent changes
- The
{{citation needed}}template shows when a statement in a Wikipedia article needs a source. If you click on it when you edit with the visual editor there is a popup that explains this. Now it can also show the reason and when it was added. [10]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
Future changes
- You can propose and discuss what technical improvements should be done for geographic information. This could be coordinates, maps or other related things.
- Some wikis use LanguageConverter to switch between writing systems or variants of a language. This can only be done for the entire page. There will be a
<langconvert>tag that can convert a piece of text on a page. [11] - Oversighters and stewards can hide entries in Special:AbuseLog. They can soon hide multiple entries at once using checkboxes. This works like hiding normal edits. It will happen in early January. [12]
