Grumpylawnchair is currently experiencing mental health issues, which may affect her Wikipedia editing in various ways. She may have difficulty with:

altered perception when making editorial judgements, determining consensus, or reading Wikipedia discussions addressed to her;
reduced availability on Wikipedia during times when she experiences issues;
limited capacity to respond to other Wikipedians via talk page or email messages in a timely fashion, to participate in conflict resolution, or to complete her usual workload of Wikipedia tasks.

Thank you for your understanding.

Expectations

Be civil.
Please don't use honorifics while referring to me; I'm not a sir or a ma'am/madam.
Remember that I am watching, always. I happen to be an omnipresent extraterrestrial being that doesn't get much sleep on most nights.

DYK for Agnieszka Machówna

On 1 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Agnieszka Machówna, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that peasant Agnieszka Machówna repeatedly deceived Polish nobles into thinking that she was a noble? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Agnieszka Machówna. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Agnieszka Machówna), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Tech News: 2025-10

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

All logged-in editors using the mobile view can now edit a full page. The "Edit full page" link is accessible from the "More" menu in the toolbar. This was previously only available to editors using the Advanced mobile contributions setting. [1]
Interface administrators can now help to remove the deprecated Cite CSS code matching "mw-ref" from their local MediaWiki:Common.css. The list of wikis in need of cleanup, and the code to remove, can be found with this global search and in this example, and you can learn more about how to help on the CSS migration project page. The Cite footnote markers ("[1]") are now rendered by Parsoid, and the deprecated CSS is no longer needed. The CSS for backlinks ("mw:referencedBy") should remain in place for now. This cleanup is expected to cause no visible changes for readers. Please help to remove this code before March 20, after which the development team will do it for you.
When editors embed a file (e.g. [[File:MediaWiki.png]]) on a page that is protected with cascading protection, the software will no longer restrict edits to the file description page, only to new file uploads.[2] In contrast, transcluding a file description page (e.g. {{:File:MediaWiki.png}}) will now restrict edits to the page.[3]
When editors revert a file to an earlier version it will now require the same permissions as ordinarily uploading a new version of the file. The software now checks for 'reupload' or 'reupload-own' rights,[4] and respects cascading protection.[5]
When administrators are listing pages for deletion with the Nuke tool, they can now also list associated talk pages and redirects for deletion, alongside pages created by the target, rather than needing to manually delete these pages afterwards. [6]
The previously noted update to Single User Login, which will accommodate browser restrictions on cross-domain cookies by moving login and account creation to a central domain, will now roll out to all users during March and April. The team plans to enable it for all new account creation on Group0 wikis this week. See the SUL3 project page for more details and an updated timeline.
Since last week there has been a bug that shows some interface icons as black squares until the page has fully loaded. It will be fixed this week. [7]
One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Sylheti (w:syl:) [8]
View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug was fixed with loading images in very old versions of the Firefox browser on mobile. [9]

Updates for technical contributors

Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

DYK for Elena Gorolová

On 8 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Elena Gorolová, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Czech Romani social worker and human rights activist Elena Gorolová worked as a metalworker in her youth? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Elena Gorolová. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Elena Gorolová), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Cheongsam

@Grumpylawnchair I'm deleting the excess, it's already in Áo dài. Don't back out in Cheongsam. 2402:9D80:332:8E25:7C61:FAC2:423B:C681 (talk) 03:06, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@2402:9D80:332:8E25:7C61:FAC2:423B:C681: Alright, I understand. The reason I reverted your first edit was that I did not know why you deleted the content since you left no edit summary, and assumed it was vandalism (which commonly involves deleting content with no explanation). Regards, Grumpylawnchair (talk) 03:09, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Grumpylawnchair thanks. 2402:9D80:332:8E25:7C61:FAC2:423B:C681 (talk) 03:17, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
