Request For Counter-Vandalism Training

Hello Blaze Wolf

I was wondering if you would be interested in being my CVU academy trainer.

I mainly patrol recent changes with Twinkle but I am looking to gain more experience and learn more about tools that I can use in the future.

I look forward to working with you.

Thank you Tescomealdeal1 (talk) 14:19, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

@Tescomealdeal1: Hi there! I'd be happy to be your CVUA trainer. It'll be a few days before I get it set up as I'm not currently at my computer. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 16:13, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
That's okay, take your time

Question from ChallengeFanatic (15:29, 5 June 2024)

Hello

I was updating a page and suddenly the poster image was removed for copyright violation. I am wondering how I can get the tv series poster up without violating any copyright?

Thanks,

Tech News: 2024-24

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

  • The software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering. [6]
  • The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
  • The HTML markup used for citations by Parsoid changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the mw-reference-text class, Parsoid now also adds the reference-text class for better compatibility with the legacy parser. More details are available. [7]

Problems

  • There was a bug with the Content Translation interface that caused the tools menus to appear in the wrong location. This has now been fixed. [8]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 June. It will be on all wikis from 13 June (calendar). [9][10]
  • The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: Parsoid will now generate a <span class="mw-cite-backlink"> wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. More details are available. [11]
  • On multilingual wikis that use the <translate> system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community requests it. [12]

Question from Matthew Bradley Bowden on Compendium (16:50, 13 June 2024)

How do I add a picture of myself --Matthew Bradley Bowden (talk) 16:50, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

See above for my answer. Rusty4321 talk contribs 16:53, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Matthew Bradley Bowden (16:36, 13 June 2024)

How do I add a picture and how do I get seen on Google from this page --Matthew Bradley Bowden (talk) 16:36, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

@Matthew Bradley Bowden: Your "User Page" is not a profile page like on social media. It's to tell others things about you when editing Wikipedia.
To write an article you can use Articles for Creation but writing about yourself is discouraged because it's hard to right neutrally. You can still upload a picture of yourself, at Wikimedia Commons. Rusty4321 talk contribs 16:53, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
How do I get a profile on this site Matthew Bradley Bowden (talk) 16:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
@Matthew Bradley Bowden: Wikipedia's not social media. But as I said before you may upload a picture of yourself. Rusty4321 talk contribs 16:59, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from User6000000 (12:11, 10 June 2024)

hello i got my article "alikhan village" put into mainspace, i may have misunderstood but ill copy paste the message here, "Super Dud talk contribs‎ m 4,673 bytes 0‎ Albertx07 moved page Draft:Alikhan (village) to Alikhan (village): Move to mainspace" doesnt this mean my page should be public now? why cant i see it when i search on google, even when i type the details too, even in an incognito web --User6000000 (talk) 12:11, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @User6000000 It will be public after 90 days or if the page gets "patrolled" by a patroller who checks new articles. Rusty4321 talk contribs 16:58, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
thank you User6000000 (talk) 17:27, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello and several newbie questions

Blaze,

I am the liaison to a group of long-time progressive activists who realize that unlike previous generations, we are afforded the opportunity to write our own historical retrospective. It is in this spirit that we would like to publish a comprehensive narrative of our time at the University of Wisconsin - Madison during the late 1970's and early 1980's.

We are currently gathering documentation and other evidence of our participation in many of the major campus events of that period. This information will serve as the backbone of the article. In addition, we would like to discuss the perspectives and beliefs that initially brought us together, the unifying principles that strengthened our resolve and the lasting effect that this activist period had on our lives. We would like to do this if for no other reason than to counter to the notion that those ideas learned in youth - making the world a better place, standing up for what you believe & speaking truth to power - are just a phase one goes through. It is our belief that if practiced by the curious such attitudes lead to a life of exploration, learning and peace of mind as you always remain true to yourself.

We would appreciate your guidance in helping us navigate the Wikipedia article submission process. As well as your thoughts on what is and is not Germane to the Wikipedia audience. We hope to create a narrative that is both creative and entertaining as well as - we hope - thought provoking. Please feel free to point me to any & all resources that are available for newbies and I will share them with the other members of the m28mscribes. M28mscribes (talk) 07:24, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

@M28mscribes:} Hi there! I'm sorry to tell you but Wikipedia is not the place for what you are wanting to do. Wikipedia is for informational encyclopedia articles, not biographies on non-notable people. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 12:31, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Blaze,
Thanks for your response. M28mscribes (talk) 20:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

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

  • People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see Edit check for more details. [13]
  • The new Community Configuration extension is available on Test Wikipedia. This extension allows communities to customize specific features to meet their local needs. Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other Community Configuration use cases in the future. [14][15]
  • The dark mode beta feature is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the project talk page. [16]

Problems

  • Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [17]
  • Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here. [18]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar). [19][20]
  • Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable. [21]
  • Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [22]

CVU Training

Hello Blaze Wolf

I was wondering when I could start my CVU training.

No rush I was just wondering. Tescomealdeal1 (talk) 14:12, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
