[edit]Excuse me. I always use the browser of my mobile phone to visit the English website, and I can’t understand the element structure of the website, and the prompt button for editing grammar that is most needed by novices, just like using the “Makrden APP”,Jc.Mandy 21:46, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- @J.zht Do you mean you're having trouble using the newcomer prompts on your mobile phone? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 22:31, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
@I dream of horses exactly as you said,For living in English since childhood Whether at home or on the go Spoken language when talking to others and education English-based national system the people reading articles in english not too difficult，If in the same country There are also many family members of people English ability is limited to daily conversation Having no difficulty in conversation does not mean that you have no difficulty in writing，Let alone people from other countries,Webmasters of most wiki projects often suggest that i can go back to Chinese Wikipedia community site. I will always be at the English Wikimedia Foundation The main reasons for staying on affiliated project sites that's because The birthplace of computer science is in Western countries Come to the English website to get correct and complete information,Is the information obtained correct?visitors need to compare，I understand the rules of the game on Wikipedia The completeness and correctness of the information are not guaranteed,Because of Wikimedia's rules and regulations clear reminder So I can learn the right concept here,I also watch before talking to people personal homepage space i think your idea is right that's why we're talking,This is a correct behavior of international communication In fact, I would rather have a place where Let me upload a screenshot of the website accessed from a mobile phone With screenshot Developers who design websites are more able to understand crux of the problem，Finally, thank you for your reply Because an administrator with privileges Usually do not answer questions from newcomers,😂😂Jc.Mandy 12:30, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- @J.zht I'm not sure if I understand. Are you new to the English language? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 20:33, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
Video game platform categories
[edit]I noticed that you removed many video games from parent platform categories, e.g. removing 'Category:Wii games' if it is also in 'Category:Wii-only games'. Categories like 'Wii-only games' are non-diffusing subcategories, and its appropriate for games to have both cats. Waxworker (talk) 22:57, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Waxworker Non-diffusing subcategories typically have a template explaining that it's non-diffusing to prevent this from happening; I'm not active in one subject area, and so didn't know. I was trying to prevent overcategorization. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 00:02, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Waxworker and @Masem: After double checking, I think I actually skipped the Wii-only games category, but I did remove the category from other subcategories that I had assumed to be diffusing in nature. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 00:06, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- That seems to be the case. For example, you seem to have removed the category from all the games in Category:Wii Wheel games from Category:Wii games, which isn't marked as diffused, but I think is obviously a diffusing type category. Cakelot1 (talk) 00:11, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Cakelot1 Do you mean non-diffusing? Diffusing categories aren't marked because they're the default. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 00:13, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Yes sorry, I meant non-diffusing, which I think Category:Wii Wheel games clearly is Cakelot1 (talk) 01:01, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Cakelot1 Actually, no it's not clearly a non-diffusing category. There's nothing to indicate such, and categories are diffusing by default. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 02:00, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Sure it probably should have the template, but editors should also be very carful before performing semi automated tasks in this manner. The Wii Wheel is a bit of plastic that Nintendo sometimes recommended for use with they're games and is no way equivalent to a game being on the wii console. Also the Category Wii Wheel games is used form games on both Wii and Wii U and thus removal of the console categories loses information.
- In addition, in response to User talk:Cakelot1#Mass Revert I think you should be more carful about getting the correct user. It was Waxworker (recent edits) who performed the reverts your accusing me of doing. Cakelot1 (talk) 02:46, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Cakelot1 Whoops. You're right. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 04:29, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Wii games cat
[edit]Why are you removing Wii games out of Category:Wii games, like [1]? Its absolutely a valid cat, and while it also may be in subcats, its also appropriate in that category. Masem (t) 22:58, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Masem I explained above to @Waxworker already. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 00:03, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

[edit]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 Wikisources use a tool called ProofreadPage. ProofreadPage uses OpenSeadragon which is an open source tool. The OpenSeadragon JavaScript API has been significantly re-written to support dynamically loading images. The functionality provided by the older version of the API should still work but it is no longer supported. User scripts and gadgets should migrate over to the newer version of the API. The functionality provided by the newer version of the API is documented on MediaWiki. [2][3]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 December. It will be on all wikis from 8 December (calendar).

Question from Bookstagram78 (15:17, 13 December 2022)
[edit]Why are so many women leaders getting their wikipedia pages deleted? Is this because of the gender bias on Wikipedia? --Bookstagram78 (talk) 15:17, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Bookstagram78 What's the context that motivated this question? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 17:05, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- I read a lot about it here, which is why I joined Gender bias on Wikipedia Bookstagram78 (talk) 23:38, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Bookstagram78 Women in red has actually helped with that; however, there are limits due to systemic bias within society where reliable sources don't talk about women as much, either. The situation is slowly, slowly improving. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 01:33, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

A message from Dongwenliang
[edit]I graduated from Inner Mongolia University of Technology. Why did you vandalize my contribution of 4000 words? Dongwenliang (talk) 21:57, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Dongwenliang That wasn't vandalism. I reverted your edit since it lacks both neutrality and reliable sourcing. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 22:17, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Dongwenliang (sorry for the double ping if you haven't already read the above message) In fact, both of our edits are including in what isn't vandalism: yours being a "NPOV contravention" and mine being "Reversion or removal of unencyclopedic material."

[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Tech News
- Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2023.
Recent changes
- On a user's contributions page, you can filter it for edits with a tag like 'reverted'. Now, you can also filter for all edits that are not tagged like that. This was part of a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [4]
- A new function has been used for gadget developers to add content underneath the title on article pages. This is considered a stable API that should work across all skins. Documentation is available. [5]
- One of our test wikis is now being served from a new infrastructure powered by Kubernetes (read more). More Wikis will switch to this new infrastructure in early 2023. Please test and let us know of any issues. [6]
Problems
- Last week, all wikis had no edit access for 9 minutes. This was caused by a database problem. [7]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
- The word "Reply" is very short in some languages, such as Arabic ("ردّ"). This makes the Discussion tools button on talk pages difficult to use. An arrow icon will be added to those languages. This will only be visible to editors who have the Beta Feature turned on. [8] [9]
Future changes
- Edits can be automatically "tagged" by the system software or the Edit filter configuration system. Those tags link to a help page about the tags. Soon they will also link to Recent Changes to let you see other edits tagged this way. This was a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [10]
- The Trust & Safety tools team have shared new plans for building the Private Incident Reporting System. The system will make it easier for editors to ask for help if they are harassed or abused.
- Realtime Preview for Wikitext is coming out of beta as an enabled feature for every user of the 2010 Wikitext editor in the week of January 9, 2023. It will be available to use via the toolbar in the 2010 Wikitext editor. The feature was the 4th most popular wish of the Community Wishlist Survey 2021.
Events
- You can now register for the Wikimedia Hackathon 2023, taking place on May 19–21 in Athens, Greece. You can also apply for a scholarship until January 14th.
