Hello, CFA,

If you are fixing a bad page move PLEASE leave a redirect behind even when it's a bad page title like this. Because you didn't, there were over 50 broken redirects that should have pointed to Al Gore but were pointing to this page instead. If you leave a redirect, then our bots will fix the double redirects and point all of the valid redirects to the right page and this bad redirect can be deleted. For some reason, page movers on this project don't like to leave redirects even when the result is broken redirects so if you choose to not leave one, please check "What links here" and repair all of these dozens of redirects manually. That's a lot more time consuming so I recommend leaving a redirect and letting the bots handle this. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:05, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh, that makes sense. I didn't realize the double redirect bots were so quick. C F A 💬 14:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

User:Poshto philosopher moved to sandbox

I noticed that you had tagged User:Poshto philosopher for speedy deletion. I moved it to the user's sandbox instead. If the text on a user page looks like a potential article, I recommend moving it to the sandbox or draftifying it rather than deleting it. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:52, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I get your point in general, but that "article" would qualify for U5 in a sandbox as well. Wikipedia is not supposed to be a place for personal essays. C F A 💬 20:17, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Sinwar

Come on, what's your problem? This is not what I am saying, but what many others are saying. Sinwar is Israel's supposed number one enemy, so how can it eliminate Nasrallah, who holds a higher position than Sinwar, but cannot eliminate someone who was a prisoner of its for 23 years?

Weekly highlight

  • Communities can now request installation of Automoderator on their wiki. Automoderator is an automated anti-vandalism tool that reverts bad edits based on scores from the new "Revert Risk" machine learning model. You can read details about the necessary steps for installation and configuration. [2]

Updates for editors

Updates for technical contributors

  • It is now possible for <syntaxhighlight> code blocks to offer readers a "Copy" button if the copy=1 attribute is set on the tag. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [4]
  • Customized copyright footer messages on all wikis will be updated. The new versions will use wikitext markup instead of requiring editing raw HTML. [5]
  • Advanced item Later this month, temporary accounts will be rolled out on several pilot wikis. The final list of the wikis will be published in the second half of the month. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 11 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available.
  • Advanced item Rate limiting has been enabled for the code review tools Gerrit and GitLab to address ongoing issues caused by malicious traffic and scraping. Clients that open too many concurrent connections will be restricted for a few minutes. This rate limiting is managed through nftables firewall rules. For more details, see Wikitech's pages on Firewall, GitLab limits and Gerrit operations.

Article tag

Hi, CFA! First, let me thank you again for reviewing the V Pappas draft at Articles for Creation and for explaining (on the Talk page) why you've added Template:Resume-like to the live page. I have a COI and avoid editing the main space, but I would like to address any concerns or problematic text with the goal of removing the tag.

I submitted an edit request seeking to remove the specific text you flagged, and the request was reviewed by User:Rusalkii via Template:Edit COI. In my subsequent request seeking to clarify the subject's relationship status, which is also in the 'Edit COI' queue, I've asked editors to identify any other ways I can work to address the tag. The request has not received any replies yet, which is not a problem, but I wanted to reach out directly to see if you would consider reviewing the request and/or identifying any other problematic text.

I am comfortable with being patient and waiting for other editors to review COI edit requests, but I also like to work with the editor who added the tag. If you're willing to revisit the entry, I'd appreciate any feedback or assistance here. Thanks again, Inkian Jason (talk) 15:43, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Jimmymooneyofficial (04:40, 9 October 2024)

Hello my name is Jimmy Mooney I am an American Actor I am also famous on social media and also known as a fighter for the famous boxer butterbean. How do I get my name and who I am put in the Wikipedia --Jimmymooneyofficial (talk) 04:40, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Jimmymooneyofficial: You don't. Wipedia is not a means of promotion, least of all for yourself. Further, this isn't the place for you to be writing an autobiography. If you are truly notable, someone will get around to writing an article about your someday. In the meantime, you should find things other than yourself to write about. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
lol I wasn’t weighting about myself I was asking a question about how to get on here so you did not understand at all Jimmymooneyofficial (talk) 20:01, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Someone will write about you eventually if you are notable. Otherwise, don't bother. C F A 💬 20:15, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
@Jimmymooneyofficial: "Weighting about [your]self"? What does that mean? Your question appears to be asking how to get an article about yourself on here. If that's not the case, then please rephrase your question. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:49, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

How can I find articles that need grammar fixes. --Autspectorder (talk) 12:31, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Autspectorder, and welcome to Wikipedia! There are a few ways to find articles that need grammar improvements. If you visit your homepage and make sure "Copyedit (fix spelling, grammar, and tone)" is selected, you'll see some articles in need of repair cycle through. Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit lists all articles marked as needing a copyedit by month. You might also be interested in reading Wikipedia:Basic copyediting.

Tech News: 2024-42

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

Updates for editors

  • The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [11][12]
  • WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [13]
  • View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [14]
  • Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed. [15]
  • Advanced item Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a <bdi> element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time. [16]

In depth

  • The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes: updates on Wikimedia's authentication system, research to simplify feature development in the MediaWiki platform, updates on Parser Unification and MathML rollout, and more.
  • The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition include: research about improving topic suggestions related to countries, improvements to PHPUnit tests, and more.

Question from Jewish editors (19:25, 15 October 2024)

Hi zionism page is quiet antisemitic as I was unable to find any arguments to prove this line Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible. As there are 2,080,000 Arabs this is not true. --Jewish editors (talk) 19:25, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, this is something to discuss on the article's talk page. However, because of frequent disruption in the Israel—Palestine topic area, editing and discussion is restricted to 3+ month-old accounts with over 500 edits. Are there other subjects you're interested in editing? Your homepage should also list some articles in need of improvement. Happy editing, C F A 💬 00:33, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm having a little trouble creating a page for my fiancee , she invented the pick pad, a silicone slab with beads and other assorted items imbedded inside, used by people that have issues with self harm caused by skin picking and pimple popping. She invented the pick pad in late 2022 and made her first sale in April of 2023. It has been stolen by many people that claim to have invented it but we have solid proof in the form of an Etsy page.

Weekly highlight

  • The Mobile Apps team has released an update to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the "Donate" button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned navigation refresh to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.
iOS Wikipedia App's profile menu and contents

Updates for editors

  • Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's Content Discovery Experiments page and subscribe to their newsletter.
  • Later this month, logged-out editors of these 12 wikis will start to have temporary accounts created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new type of user account. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available. Read more about the deployment plan across all wikis.
  • View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the South Ndebele, Pannonian Rusyn, Obolo, Iban and Tai Nüa Wikipedia languages were created last week. [17][18][19][20][21]
  • It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new Wikidata lexeme type launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in the latest Wikifunctions newsletter.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new {{#timef:…}} parser function. For example, {{#timef:now|date|en}} will show as "6 January 2025". Previously, {{#time:…}} could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. #timef (or #timefl for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [22][23]
  • Advanced item Commons and Meta users can now efficiently retrieve the user's language using {{USERLANGUAGE}} instead of using {{int:lang}}. [24]
  • The Product and Tech Advisory Council (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the Movement Strategy's Technology Council initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform. [25]

In depth

  • The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: an upcoming Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module, new Community Configuration options, and details on new projects.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation is now an official partner of the CVE program, which is an international effort to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This partnership will allow the Security Team to instantly publish common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) records that are affecting MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, along with any other code the Foundation is a steward of.
  • The Community Wishlist is now testing machine translations for Wishlist content. Volunteers can now read machine-translated versions of wishes and dive into discussions even before translators arrive to translate content.

Wikipedia:Requested articles/Business and economics

Hello! You marked the linked requested article page as {{under construction}}; I am wondering if I could be of any help finishing through. If so, I have a couple questions on how to move forward (e.g., were #Economic policy and #Economic problems intended to become their own pages?). Cheers, Tule-hog (talk) 18:28, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I completely forgot about that. I think the next thing I was planning to do was clean up the "Finance" section. The Companies and Organizations pages also need to be cleaned up. C F A 💬 21:35, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
LMK if this checklist of cleanup tasks misses anything or does not follow the typical process:
  • use {{div col}}
  • trim to 3 most-notable refs
  • trim summary to ~200 chars
  • make large sections into subpages
  • try to match requests to article naming conventions

Growth News, October 2024

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version on beta wikis and we will soon start an A/B test on our pilot wikis. This module will only display on the Newcomer Homepage if communities decide to utilize it, so learn how to configure the Community Updates module, or share your thoughts on the project's talk page.

One design concept aimed to increase constructive activation

Constructive activation experimentation

After showcasing early design ideas at Wikimania, we conducted user testing of design prototypes. We now aim to engage communities in further discussions and plan to run a targeted experiment, presenting a structured task within the reading view to logged-in new account holders with zero edits.

Community Configuration

This Community Configuration extension was developed to help communities customize wiki features to meet their unique needs. The Growth team is now helping other Wikimedia Foundation teams make their products configurable:

  • The Moderation Tools team now provides Community Configuration for Automoderator. (T365046)
  • Certain Babel extension settings will be configurable soon. (T328171)

Future work

As part of the Growth team annual plan, we will continue to investigate ways to increase constructive activation on mobile, while also working with Data Products to move forward A/B testing functionality via the Metrics Platform.

Community events

  • Growth team members presented Community Configuration: Shaping On-Wiki Functionality Together at Wikimania (slides). The session recording is available to watch on YouTube. This session provided an update on the Community Configuration project and introduced details about the upcoming features that communities will soon be able to configure. Representatives from the Moderator Tools, Editing, Web, and Campaigns teams shared their plans for utilizing Community Configuration in the future. Following these presentations, the WMF Growth team's Benoît Evellin and Martin Urbanec answered audience questions.
  • Habib Mhenni gave a presentation of how mentorship works at WikiIndaba 2024. The recording is available.

Stay informed

Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

  • Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [27]
  • Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [28]

Question from Noam Atadgy (02:00, 29 October 2024)

how to cite sources fast when i add text to article? --Noam Atadgy (talk) 02:00, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Noam Atadgy, and welcome to Wikipedia! To answer your email: No, I'm not a robot. I'm a volunteer just like you and everyone else on Wikipedia. To answer your question here: You might be interested in trying out the Visual Editor and reading Easier Referencing for Beginners. When I first started editing Wikipedia, I found that the Visual Editor was by far the easiest way to add citations. Happy editing, C F A 💬 15:32, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
