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
- You can use the new termbox interface if you edit Wikidata on a mobile device. This is to edit labels, descriptions and aliases easier on the mobile pages. [1]
The new version of MediaWiki has been deployed during the last week.
- The previously announced change of positions of the "Wikidata item" link on all wikis has been rollbacked due to unexpected cache issues. [2]
- The limit for rollbacks has been increased from 10 to 100 rollbacks per minute. [3]
- The advanced version of the edit review pages (Recent Changes, Watchlist, and Related Changes) now include two new filters. These filters are for "All contents" and "All discussions". They will filter the view to just those namespaces. However the "All discussions" filter does not include pseudo talk pages, like discussions that are in the Project: or Wikipedia: namespaces. But it will include changes happening on Project talk: or the Wikipedia talk:. [4]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 September. It will be on all wikis from 5 September (calendar).
- When you log in, the software checks your password to see if it follows the Password policy. From this week, it will also complain if your password is one of the most common passwords in the world. If your password is not strong enough, please consider to change your password for a stronger password. [5]
Meetings
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 4 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- You will be able to read but not to edit Wikidata for up to 30 minutes on September 10 at 05:00 (UTC). [6]
- You will be able to read but not to edit some mid-sized wikis for up to 30 minutes September 17 at 05:00 (UTC). You can see which wikis. [7]
- You will be able to read but not to edit some mid-sized wikis for up to 30 minutes September 24 at 05:00 (UTC). You can see which wikis. [8]
- You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for up to 30 minutes on September 26 at 05:00 (UTC). [9]

Thanks
Thanks for not G13 tagging Henry and Mudge and the Great Grandpas. I've just moved it to mainspace. As I said in my edit summary when I moved it, I can't remember the reason I had for not moving it to mainspace. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 06:09, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Barkeep49 Welcome and have a good day. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 06:11, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
Armenian alphabet letter articles BEING MOVED TO DRAFTS
Please!!! Why are you putting my Armenian letter articles into DRAFTS?! Why can the Russian version, which it was based ON, even if they ARE SHORT, avoid being DRAFTED?! Please! PLEASE! DO NOT PUT MY ARTICLES INTO DRAFTS!!!!! THESE ARE NOT ACTS OF COPY-AND-PASTE OR EVEN VANDALISM!!!! HELP ME!!!!FIGHTERSOVIET wpedia (talk) 11:11, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi FIGHTERSOVIET wpedia, greetings. You articles were moved to draft page because it is not in acceptable state for the are no independent, reliable sources to support the content claimed which you would notice if you read the messages on your articles. We the reviewers could move the new page to draft space when there are no sources to be found in the article.. Pls read the requirements for a page to be accepted in the mainspace - WP:Your First Article and Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 18:23, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, Cassiopeia; I have marked the article "SE (LETTER)" with Db-g7. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FIGHTERSOVIET wpedia (talk • contribs) 01:58, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
You are wrong
First of all, there is no difference between the current page and the one after my edit (I'm guessing someone re-edited your correction of my edit). Second, the technical term for the submission I edited is a Ninja choke. There is no other name for it.216.246.242.149 (talk) 16:24, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi 216.246.242.149 Good day. The "method" of the fight card is as per Sherdog.com based on Wikipedia WP:MMA guidelines - see here which it states "submission (guillotine choke), so pls do not change the method as per your judgement. Do note Wikipedia is all about verification and not the true. If the source is incorrect, we will change the info when the source corrected itself. thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk)
- Roger that. Sorry for the inconvenience. Is the fact that I can provide video evidence of what a ninja choke is, which would prove that that's the technique that was used, relevant in any way? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.246.242.149 (talk) 18:50, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi 216.246.242.149, It is not about a video demonstrate the submission, but the report of the method of "that specific bout" of the evet. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 19:00, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Thank you and request to advise
Thanks very much for the intervention on the draft https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Divya_Dwivedi. The subject is a politically sensitive and developing topic. Thank you for removing the ip edits which seem to be vandalism. But there was another ip edit which you did not remove in the section titled Criticisms. Is that because it provided a link to an article published by the subject in The Wire? However this ip edit in any way does not connect that article to the whole draft Divya Dwivedi. Should I let it remain as it is? Or if you think that ip edit in Criticisms is unnecessary please remove it or find a way to place it in the context of the article. Do advise me in this situtation. Bonsoir! Speculative Boting (talk) 15:27, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Speculative Boting Greetings. I believe the edit you mentioned above is THIS ONE. Is was a vandalism edit as the IP editor remove the source without reasonable explanation/reason for such you would add it back. Do note all articles in Wikipedia can be edited by anyone (IP or registered users); except if the articles are protected and certain editors could not able to make edits due to enormous destructive edits / edit warring on the page until the protection is lifted. Side note - for a subject to be accepted in Wikipedia, the subject need to be notable - pls read Wikipedia:Notability (academics) and secondly the content claimed need to be supported by significant coverage of independent, reliable sources - see WP:IS and WP:RS, written in neutral point of view, free of copyright infringement (write the article in your own words and WP:PROMOTION. Sources written by the subject, associate with the subjects, interviews and etc can NOT be used to demonstrate the notability requirements for the sources are not reliable/independent. What we need is what other independent, reliable sources say about the subject. To me the Draft:Divya Dwivedi seems lean a little toward promotional tone instead of strictly written like an encyclopedia content (Note : Wikipedia is an WP:Encyclopedia). You would have a look at the List of political philosophers and take a look at Ayn Rand and Jean-Paul Sartre how the content and article format/structure as the reference. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 05:44, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Salut CASSIOPEIA! Thank you for clarity! The edit I mentioned is this one which cannot be seen in history, at the beginning of Criticisms section, "Divya Dwivedi is anti Hindu nationalism. She opposed Hindus. Dwivedi wrote praising article about anti Hindu Romila Thapar here https://thewire.in/history/romila-thapar-jnu-indian-history Dwivedi Wikipedia should be stopped." I have not removed it.
- I understand the requirements for notability for the subject and I think there is substantial coverage in reliable sources such Libération, Mediapart, The Hindu, UNESCO, and The Indian Express. Some of the subjects who have written on Divya Dwivedi are eminent practitioners of their field which is shown by their wiki pages such Jean-Luc Nancy, Robert Bernasconi, Barbara Cassin and Tridip Suhrud. Of course I can be wrong!
- I see the point that it appears promotional. This is where I have a hard time, because I am merely paraphrasing what was said about the subject by the noted practitioners such as Jean-Luc Nancy. I found the criticial remarks and added them too in a section called criticisms. In fact it will be much appreciated if you can help to change the tone of the article. Please consider editing it? Bonjour! Speculative Boting (talk) 06:20, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Speculative Boting Do write the content in neutral point of view in simple, straight, plain fashion and not in essay style format (remove has been xxxxed) if possible). Look at the list I mentioned above and see how other articles are written which will give you some idea. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:55, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hey CASSIOPEIA, thou art very cool! I made the edits to change the tone in the way that I could get the gist of your advice and shortened the draft. On that front I found another article on the subject published in Deccan Chronicle and added that. If you can tell me how this looks now and suggest more changes I will keep at it. Cheers! Speculative Boting (talk) 12:32, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
deletion of my creation - Draft:Delete humanity
greetings i am the creater of the delete humanity or delete humanity draft whatever it is called. And it has shown that you were the one who deleted it and got it in decline and i was going to say,that i think it shouldnt be deleted just because delete humanity is a big powerful group literally the group delete humanity one person the leader himself can hack the NASA even an delete humanity jr person someone Ina lower group of that one group can hack the NASA and plus with them sending iploggers everywhere they can be more dangerous then the group called anonymous. And delete humanity is so powerful that the group teaming up with the jrs can possibly defeat the whole anonymous group. so i think this should spread out everywhere on the internet. If you have nothing to do with this i am sorry for the confusion and have a good day. Joe mighty 679 (talk) 00:02, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Joe mighty 679 Greeting. Pls see your Draft:Delete humanity has been deleted due to the nature of the content is promotional - see HERE. To have a page in Wikipedia, the subject needs to be notable and the content claimed need to support by significant coverage from independent, reliable sources where by the sources talk directly about the subject in length and in dept. In addition, the content need to be written in a neutral point of view free of copyright infringement and WP:PROMOTION. Pls read WP:Your First Article. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 03:06, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- so basically i can`t post the delete humanity creation i have made that has been declined can`t be posted her on Wikipedia for promotional? If that is the case than is there any way to fix it for the delete humanity creation to be on Wikipedia? If so not then you know maybe a website i can recreate the Draft:Delete humanity Joe mighty 679 (talk) 15:29, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Joe mighty 679, Wikipedia is an WP:Encyclopedia and not a social or promotional sites for such no promotional articles would be allowed in Wikipedia. I have listed the requirements on my previous message to you on the reimbursements needed for an article to be acceptable in Wikipedia - or you could read Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything.Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 05:15, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- understood, Thank you for your help.Joe mighty 679 (talk) 14:39, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I note that you've moved List of German national football players into draft space. Do you think it would be appropriate for Germany national football team results to also be moved, an article created by the same editor in similar manner? Thanks. Onetwothreeip (talk) 01:37, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
- Onetwothreeip, Greetings. List of German national football players was moved to draft because there was no sources provided. Germany national football team results has been nominated to be merged to Germany national football team results (2000–present) article - so let the discussion runs. cheers. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:35, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
- There hasn't been any suggestion to merge the article, only to move some content from that article into another article. There has also been no discussion of that suggestion. Onetwothreeip (talk) 08:48, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:35, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
- Onetwothreeip, There is a suggested merge tag atop of the Germany national football team results page. Do fell free to comment on the discussion link. The article could be accepted, merged, redirected or AfDed, but not advisable to moved it to draft space as the article does have sources. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:00, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
- They appear to be mistaken in thinking what they are suggesting is a merge proposal. Not sure why a merge tag was placed there. Onetwothreeip (talk) 09:05, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg/120px-Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg.png)
Hello Cassiopeia,
- Backlog
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
- Coordinator
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
- This month's refresher course
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
- Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
- Paid editing
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
- Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
- Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
- Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
- Tools
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

CUVA
How can I enroll in WP:CVUA? IndusFish (talk) 15:37, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi IndusFish, Good day. You need to have a min of 200 mainspace edits and no block for the last six months. You have only 32 mainspace edits at the moment - see HERE at the Namespace Totals section. Come back here once you reach 200 mainspace edits if you are still interested to join the program. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 15:55, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
Counter-Vandalism Academy
Hi there! I see you have some free slots for users who want to become Anti-Vandalism trainees. Are you willing to take me under as a trainee? PraiseVivec (talk) 12:31, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- PraiseVivec, Greetings. Thank you for interested in counter vandalism. Pls have a look the "Goals" and "Syllabus" sections below to understand the requirements needed at the end of the course in order to graduate from CVSCHOOL.
Goals
If you're new and/or inexperienced, before embarking on a Counter-Vandalism training programme, you should be able to demonstrate that you have already mastered the basic principles of editing the encyclopedia and contributed at least 200 edits to MAINSPACE. If you have previously been warned or requested to follow guidelines, you should have demonstrated that you have addressed these issues.
When you have shown through training that you have mastered the principles of Counter-Vandalism and can apply them with accuracy, and can communicate correctly and effectively with new users of all kinds you may be able to apply for permission to use restricted tools, such as, for example Rollback, and STiki that will enable you to semi-automate the process, while understanding that speed alone is not essential - the target is accuracy. When you have achieved these goals, you can display the {{User CVU0-en}} userbox on your user page.

Please note that there are many editors who were interested in counter vandalism course and abundant the program mid way due to lack of anticipation of the amount of efforts/time needed in reading the program material, doing assigned "homework" and exams requirements . The program has no timeline set, as the editor would progress through the course work at their own time. Generally, it would take an editor 1.5-2 months to finish the course. So do prepare yourself for lots of reading and homework if you intend to proceed with the program and do let me know the reason for interested in this program.

- Thanks for the reply! I started being an active editor on Wikipedia about a year ago and am trying to diversify my contributions, but there's just so many rules and guidelines that it can feel daunting going through them. Each time I read a guide or tutorial to one aspect of Wikipedia, ten more seem to wait in the links. I'm hoping that this course is going to give me a more focused approach to becoming familiar with how to solve vandalism. I understand the workload is quite heavy for the course, but what better time to go back to school than September? :) PraiseVivec (talk) 13:18, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi PraiseVivecGood day. I set up assignment 1 for you HERE. Please make sure you enable WP:Twinkle and know how to provide hist diff - see here Wikipedia:Simplest diff guide. Once you have done the assignment and would like to get it review then ping me on the sub page (at the end of the assignment). I will usually review the assignment a day after you ping me. Do raise any questions after review if there are any, if not and you are ready to proceed to next assignment then let me know and I will post it accordingly. One thing to note - very important - Do NOT revert more than 3 times within 24 hours on the same page if the edit you reverted are NOT considered blatantly vandalism for you will be blocked. Please bear in mind. Welcome to CUVA. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 13:45, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Re: Jungian Institutes and Societies in North America moved to draftspace
I came back after several days to find that my recent article "Draft:Jungian Institutes and Societies in North America" was moved to draftspace for concerns about notability and references. However, it seems that the beginning list of those societies, as well as my references, were deleted. I can't access prior versions or see the deletions now it's been moved to Draftspace. Can you explain why parts of the article were removed prior to moving it to Draftspace? Thanks. Mccajor (talk) 05:29, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Mccajor Hi, greetings. Those edits were hide was because the content was in violation of copyright infringement (copyvio), which means you did not write the content in you own words but copied and pasted the info somewhere else. If a small part of the text is copyvio the the info will be removed and edits will be hided and if the copyvio make up a big chunk of the content, then it the article will be speedy deleted as Wikipedia takes copyvio VERY seriously as it entails legal implications. Please remove all the external links in the content. The draft at the moment need more independent, reliable sources to support the content claimed for verification. Sources with associated withe the subject, home page, press released, interview and etc can NOT be used to contribute to the notability requirements needed.Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk)
- The deleted material was a list of institutes and societies accredited by the IAAP, which was in the process of being filled in from multiple sources with other institutes and societies not accredited by IAAP. I merely have multiple graduate degrees and have edited academic books, so I may be confused on this matter, but I am not aware that an alphabetized list of commonly available information falls under copyright protection. That would be like copyrighting a list of counties in California. Did you read the material that was deleted, or was it flagged by a bot? In either case, wouldn't it have been more appropriate to flag it in the move to Draftspace than to delete it? Thank you for your clarification. I am attempting to remedy the issue.Mccajor (talk) 07:39, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Mccajor I could not read the deleted content as it is removed from the history log. You could check with the admin who removedthe copyvio content to find out more - see here. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 12:31, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- That was my concern. As I read over the copyvio page again, it really looks like it would have been more appropriate for the admin to flag it--if not just read it and realize it's a list, rather than original prose, and mark the article perhaps as a stub--rather than to delete it. I feel better that I'm not that rusty on my editing skills if you also cannot see the details in the history log. Thank you for your help.Mccajor (talk) 15:50, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit assistance
- Hey are you there. Could you like helping me in fighting vandal and contribute Wikipedia. I would like to join your team for the training. Me2offo (talk) 15:11, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Me2offo Pls see the a few message up "Counter-Vandalism Academy" and have a read on the "Goal" and "Syllabus". Please note that there are many editors who were interested in counter vandalism course and abundant the program mid way due to lack of anticipation of the amount of efforts/time needed in reading the program material, doing assigned "homework" and exams requirements. Since you are a new editor with less than 300 edits on mainspace and 1/3 of your edits are on talk page on content assessment, you might find the program challenging for you, and do prepare yourself for lots of reading and homework if you intend to proceed with the program. Editor would progress through the course work at their own time. Generally, it would take an editor 1.5-2 months to finish the course. You have not done any vandalism edits and pls provide your reason of wanting to join the program if you intent to proceed. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 16:46, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Just to let you know that your page move at Portugal national under-15 football team was reverted by Nzol12. SLBedit (talk) 16:51, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
I have restored Draft:Portugal national youth football team. SLBedit (talk) 17:04, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

- SLBedit Greetings and thanks for informing. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- SLBedit Good day. To inform that the user might be a potential SOCK for that I would understand, but warn me of the info would make me puzzle of your reasons for I am not associated with the said parties and manly doing my reviewing work and nominated AfD of the article. If you think that Nzol12 is a SOCK of Martimc123, and you have evident of such (hist diff(s)), then you may report it to WP:ISP. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 06:29, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Draft: Tilden School for Teaching Health
Thank you for the notice of deletion. The article Tilden School for Teaching Health was accepted a few months ago so I assume it is standard practice to delete the draft. I am a bit of a rookie and am pretty ignorant on how the whole Wikipedia submission process works. I am grateful for the work you and other volunteers do. Sincerely, Denverjoan Denverjoan (talk) 15:23, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

reverting AFC/ Draft tage for Combined Andhra Pradesh
Article is about a state Andhra Pradesh in India, which existed 1956-2014, which was made by combining 3 geo/cultural regions of 2 same languages. thus the current state of Andhra Pradesh is of 2 geo/cultural regions. therefore separate article should be there to educate about previous Andhra Pradesh and existing Andhra Pradesh. I am removing Afc/Draft tem, as currently i applied reliable citations. Thus if you User:CASSIOPEIA steel feel further more discussions we may continue on talk page. left note on user talkpage also. Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 04:14, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
