Problems
- Because of the problems with the MediaWiki version two weeks ago last week's updates are also late. [1][2][3]
Changes later this week
- Live previews didn't show the templates used in the preview if you just edited a section. This has now been fixed. You can also test CSS and JavaScript pages even if you have the live preview enabled. Previously this didn't work well. [4][5]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 October. It will be on all wikis from 15 October (calendar).

DYK for Mount Melbourne
On 14 October 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mount Melbourne, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that mosses grow on Mount Melbourne (pictured) in the cold Antarctic, thanks to volcanic heat? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mount Melbourne. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Mount Melbourne), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Your GA nomination of Lake Alamosa
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Lake Alamosa you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Tayi Arajakate -- Tayi Arajakate (talk) 13:03, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 October. It will be on all wikis from 22 October (calendar).
Future changes
- You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on 27 October around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [7]
In the AbuseFilter extension, the rmspecials()function will be updated soon so that it does not remove the "space" character. Wikis are advised to wrap all the uses ofrmspecials()withrmwhitespace()wherever necessary to keep filters' behavior unchanged. You can use the search function on Special:AbuseFilter to locate its usage. [8]- Some gadgets and user-scripts use the HTML div with the ID
#jump-to-nav. This div will be removed soon. Maintainers should replace these uses with either#siteSubor#mw-content-text. A list of affected scripts is at the top of phab:T265373.

Discussion at WP:THQ § Changing the title of an article
You are invited to join the discussion at WP:THQ § Changing the title of an article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:22, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jo-Jo Eumerus. Maybe you can help this editor out. They seem to be working on a new draft of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karikku (2nd nomination). I can't see whether this latest attempt is completely new or just a repeat of what was deleted at AfD. I also have no idea whether the creator is connected to any of the prior attempts to create this since the account is only a few days old. Anyway, you salted the title after the last AfD so I thought you'd be a good person to ask to take a look at this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:27, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Request
Paras Tomar page was deleted a year ago citing no proof. Will it be possible for a redisccusion for undeletion as some informations came up https://wikipbio.com/paras-tomar/ https://en.everybodywiki.com/Paras_Tomar — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.190.223.129 (talk) 08:25, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Greetings. It doesn't seem like the first article has any new sources that could defeat the two previous discussions. The second one has six but I see it was copied from Draft:Paras Tomar which was deleted as a sockpuppet creation after being rejected for not being notable enough. Many of the sources seem pretty poor, too. I am thinking that we don't have enough evidence to warrant an overturn, here. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:00, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Problems
- You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on October 27 around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [9]
- Last week, links to "diffs" from mobile watchlists and recentchanges were linking to page-revisions instead of diffs. This has now been fixed. [10]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- Since the introduction of the interface administrators user group in 2018, administrators couldn’t view the deleted history of CSS/JS pages. Now they can. [11]
- There was a problem with the Change Tags. The software would apply the "Reverted" tag to any page actions such as page-protection changes if they came directly after a reverted edit. This has now been fixed for new edits. [12]
- The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias in November. Another announcement will be made once the date is finalized. [13]

Unprotection request Karikku
Please unprotect Karikku · ( talk | logs | history | links | watch | afd | afd2 | afd3 ) · [revisions] so that Draft:Karikku can be accepted as an WP:AFC submission.

If this needs further discussion or a formal deletion review, let me know where the discussion should happen and who should be alerted, and I will start that discussion.

Recent changes
- You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser uses very old TLS. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It could lead to downgrade attacks. Since October 29, 2020, users who use old TLS versions will not be able to connect to Wikimedia projects. A list of browser recommendations is available. All modern operating systems and browsers are always able to reach Wikimedia projects. [14]
- There is a new automatic tracking category available: Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments. It collects pages which use the
{{formatnum}}parser function with invalid (non-numeric) input, e.g.{{formatnum:TECHNEWS}}. Note that{{formatnum:123,456}}is also invalid input: as described in the documentation, the argument should be unformatted so that it can be reliably and correctly localised. The tracking category will help identify problematic usage and double-formatting. The new tracking category's name can be translated at translatewiki. [15]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from November 3. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from November 4. It will be on all wikis from November 5 (calendar).
- Administrators and stewards will be able to use a special page (Special:CreateLocalAccount) to force local account creation for a global account. This is useful when account creation is blocked for that user (by a block or a filter). [16]
- The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias on November 4. This change excludes the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias, plus a few smaller Wikipedias with special circumstances. You can read the help page and the troubleshooting guide for more information. [17]
Future changes
- A discussion has been restarted about using a Unicode minus sign (− U+2212) in the output of
{{formatnum}}when it is given a negative argument. [18] - In the future IP addresses of unregistered users will not be shown for everyone. They will get an alias instead. There will be a new user right or an opt-in function for more vandal fighters to see the IPs of unregistered users. There would be some criteria for who gets the user right or opt-in. There will also be other new tools to help handle vandalism. This is early in the process and the developers are still collecting information from the communities before they suggest solutions.

Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- You can see reference previews. This shows a preview of the footnote when you hover over it. This has been a beta feature. It will move out of beta and be enabled by default. There will be an option not to use it. The developers are looking for small or medium-sized wikis to be the first ones. You can let them know if your wiki is interested. [19]
- From November 16 the categories will not be sorted in order for a short time. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the internationalisation library. They will use a script to fix the existing categories. This can take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [20][21]
