JoaquindeMosquerayFigueroa (talk) 13:25, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

  Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
• As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

  Technical news

• Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

  Arbitration

• The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

  Miscellaneous

• Following a community referendum, the arbitration policy has been modified to remove the ability for users to appeal remedies to Jimbo Wales.

Recent changes

• The RealMe extension allows you to mark URLs on your user page as verified for Mastodon and similar software.
•   Citation and footnote editing can now be started from the reference list when using the visual editor. This feature request was voted #2 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [1]
• Previously, clicking on someone else's link to Recent Changes with filters applied within the URL could unintentionally change your preference for "Group results by page". This has now been fixed. [2]

Problems

• For a few days last week, some tools and bots returned outdated information due to database replication problems, and may have been down entirely while it was being fixed. These issues have now been fixed. [3]

Changes later this week

•   The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 June. It will be on all wikis from 8 June (calendar).
• Bots will no longer be prevented from making edits because of URLs that match the spam blacklist. [4]

Recent changes

•   The content attribution tools Who Wrote That?, XTools Authorship, and XTools Blame now support the Dutch, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Japanese, Polish and Portuguese Wikipedias. This was the #7 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [6]
• The Search Preview panel has been deployed on four Wikipedias (Catalan, Dutch, Hungarian and Norwegian). The panel will show an image related to the article (if existing), the top sections of the article, related images (coming from MediaSearch on Commons), and eventually the sister projects associated with the article. [7]
• The RealMe extension now allows administrators to verify URLs for any page, for Mastodon and similar software. [8]
• The default project license has been officially upgraded to CC BY-SA 4.0. The software interface messages have been updated. Communities should feel free to start updating any mentions of the old CC BY-SA 3.0 licensing within policies and related documentation pages. [9]

Problems

• For three days last month, some Wikipedia pages edited with VisualEditor or DiscussionTools had an unintended __TOC__ (or its localized form) added during an edit. There is a listing of affected pages sorted by wiki, that may still need to be fixed. [10]
• Currently, the "Sort this page by default as" feature in VisualEditor is broken. Existing {{DEFAULTSORT:...}} keywords incorrectly appear as missing templates in VisualEditor. Developers are exploring how to fix this. In the meantime, those wishing to edit the default sortkey of a page are advised to switch to source editing. [11]
•   Last week, an update to the delete form may have broken some gadgets or user scripts. If you need to manipulate (empty) the reason field, replace #wpReason with #wpReason > input. See an example fix. [12]

Changes later this week

•   The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 June. It will be on all wikis from 15 June (calendar).
• VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on English Wikipedia on Monday, and all other large wikis on Thursday. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here. [13]

Future changes

• From 5 June to 17 July, the Foundation's Security team is holding a consultation with contributors regarding a draft policy to govern the use of third-party resources in volunteer-developed gadgets and scripts. Feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome at Third-party resources policy on meta-wiki.

Comment: There was originally no title. I formatted the ref. The ref's URL is a dead link, no doubt accurate, but a title is not available unless there is a sutable archive version. (Wayback returns nothing of use. Neither does searching the website itself.)

Emeraude (talk) 20:14, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

@Emeraude, I'm not sure there's much I can do about this. Essentially, you removed the title and caused the error, even if it was appropriate in this case.
@GoingBatty, this is an interesting case, I'd like your thoughts.
Reference before:

<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.warriors.co.uk/news/10215.php|title=Worcester Warriors – Official website of Worcester Warriors Rugby Club|website=warriors.co.uk}}</ref>

Reference after:

<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.warriors.co.uk/news/10215.php |title= |publisher=Worcester Warriors Rugby Club }}{{dead link}}</ref>

— Qwerfjkltalk 11:43, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

That's right, but『Worcester Warriors – Official website of Worcester Warriors Rugby Club』is the description of the website/publisher, not the title of the news article that ought to be on the page. For simplicity, I've replaced it with [http://www.warriors.co.uk/news/10215.php Worcester Warriors Rugby Club] which is far from satisfactory but at least gets over the problem. Emeraude (talk) 12:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

@Qwerfjkl and Emeraude: I suggest the following:

<ref>{{cite web|last=Parsons|first=Tom|url=http://www.warriors.co.uk/news/10215.php|title=Warriors sign Scotland prop Ryan Grant|date=25 January 2017|publisher=Worcester Warriors Rugby Club|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202033855/http://www.warriors.co.uk/news/10215.php|archive-date=2 February 2017}}</ref>

GoingBatty (talk) 13:14, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

@GoingBatty, what would you suggest in cases where an archived version can't be found, meaning that there's no title? — Qwerfjkltalk 13:22, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

@Qwerfjkl: I then agree with Emeraude's replacement solution. GoingBatty (talk) 13:52, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

@GoingBatty, there's no much I can do about the bot notifying for this, unfortunately, without drastically changing how it recognises errors.
Also, no need to ping me on my talk page! — Qwerfjkltalk 13:56, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

The bot should notify an editor who removes a |title= parameter (which will generate a CS1 error). I'm presuming the bot would NOT notify an editor who replaces {{cite web}} with a simple external link as Emeraude suggested (which will not generate a CS1 error). GoingBatty (talk) 14:07, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

@GoingBatty, yes, you're correct (the bot looks at category changes, of course). I didn't notice Emeraude's replacement above; that seems to satisfactorily address the issue. — Qwerfjkltalk 14:11, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

@GoingBatty How'd you do that? I wasted a large part of my life yesterday fruitlesssly trying to get that from Wayback!! That's exactly what I wanted and had no trouble getting results for the other refs which needed an archive. Well done. Emeraude (talk) 17:09, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

@Emeraude Here's what I did:

1. Copied the URL http://www.warriors.co.uk/news/10215.php
2. Went to https://web.archive.org/
3. Pasted the URL http://www.warriors.co.uk/news/10215.php and pressed Enter
4. Clicked the link for the first archive: "2 February 2017"
5. Waited a few moments for the archive page to be displayed
6. Copied the URL https://web.archive.org/web/20170202033855/http://www.warriors.co.uk/news/10215.php
7. Manually edited the {{cite web}} to paste the archive-url and add the other parameters

If I couldn't find an archived version in https://web.archive.org/ I would check https://archive.today/

Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 17:47, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey, did you initiate the G7 for this article, or was it the AFC/RC submitter? I ask because I'm preparing to send Jared Knabenbauer to RFD as having no good target and being ambiguous, and getting a bit more insight behind why the ProJared redirect was deleted would be nice. (Also, would Knabenbauer be eligible as a G8, considering it was created as a {{R avoided double redirect}}?) Skarmory (talk • contribs) 05:58, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

@Skarmory, I did, as you can see from my log. As for why I G7ed it, I think it was because there was insufficinet coverage at the target. I doubt it qualifies for G8, it should probably be retargeted instead, or taken to RfD (though I may be wrong). — Qwerfjkltalk 10:15, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Ah, sort of forgot those existed and I could check other users'. I'll take it to RFD, hopefully someone can find a good target there, otherwise deletion is an option. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 11:29, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Comment/question:

Jacobin 357 (talk) 01:16, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

@Jacobin 357, do you have a question? — Qwerfjkltalk 10:40, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

If that is a question, this is an answer. Oculi (talk) 16:48, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Is there an easy way of retrieving the creator of a category? Eg if one nominates a single category for cfd using Twinkle, Twinkle gets the first editor somehow and notifies them, but I am not aware of any method to notify all category creators in a bulk nom. — Oculi (talk) 16:01, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

@Oculi, I've written a user script for just this task, which queries the API: User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massCFD.js. It is currently unfinished (I'm still developing it), but it works well enough. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:23, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately, whilst I can see some code which is sorting contributors by date and plucking out the first one (and also just sending 1 notification to the creator of several pages), I have no idea how I can utilise this. What I would like is a template or magic word which would add the creator to a table like the one at User:Oculi/sandbox9. The page count is supplied by the magic word PAGESINCATEGORY and I would like something similar to add the creator, who could be pinged rather than notified via talk page. Oculi (talk) 16:41, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

@Oculi, do you mean you want to get the page creator using magic words, i.e. not using Javascript? — Qwerfjkltalk 16:50, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Well, I can get the page count using {{clc}} or by a magic word so I would like a similar method to get the page creator. Eg if I have 100 categories in my table I want the 100 page creators to be listed in a trice. Templates are a mystery to me. If I open a category the creator is there at the top of the page but copy and paste becomes tedious after 3 or 4. Oculi (talk) 19:05, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

@Oculi, AFAIK, there is no way to get the page creaator using wikitext. the creator is there at the top of the page - I think that's because of the XTools gadget. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:26, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Yes, it is the XTools gadget. Many thanks indeed for your patience. Oculi (talk) 08:59, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nominationbyvisiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Recent changes

•   The Action API modules and Special:LinkSearch will now add a trailing / to all prop=extlinks responses for bare domains. This is part of the work to remove duplication in the externallinks database table. [18]

Problems

• Last week, search was broken on Commons and Wikidata for 23 hours. [19][20]

Changes later this week

•   The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 June. It will be on all wikis from 29 June (calendar).
•   The Minerva skin now applies more predefined styles to the .mbox-text CSS class. This enables support for mbox templates that use divs instead of tables. Please make sure that the new styles won't affect other templates in your wiki. [21][22]
•   Gadgets will now load on both desktop and mobile by default. Previously, gadgets loaded only on desktop by default. Changing this default using the |targets= parameter is also deprecated and should not be used. You should make gadgets work on mobile or disable them based on the skin (with the |skins= parameter in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition) rather than whether the user uses the mobile or the desktop website. Popular gadgets that create errors on mobile will be disabled by developers on the Minerva skin as a temporary solution. [23]
• All namespace tabs now have the same browser access key by default. Previously, custom and extension-defined namespaces would have to have their access keys set manually on-wiki, but that is no longer necessary. [24]
• The review form of the Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standardized user interface components. [25]

Future changes

•   How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will change in the coming weeks at group2 wikis. This change improves the accessibility of content. You may need to update your site-CSS, or userscripts and gadgets. There are details on what code to check, how to update the code, and where to report any related problems. [26]
