Question from MusicCrowns (18:09, 20 January 2025)
[edit]hi. thank you for being my mentor. i tried an edit adding two names to a British composers list, which seemed to go well with exception that one of the composers does not have their own Wiki bio page.. info on the composer is easy to find via google etc and so am quite confident i could create a basic bio page for them.. is that possible and how do i start that --MusicCrowns (talk) 18:09, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
Question from MusicCrowns (23:12, 20 January 2025)
[edit]hi i went back to my initial edit and on the artist who did not have their own wiki page i google searched some stuff/ publications on him (Alasdair James Dodds) and put those on as links but i think i triggered some warning about promotional links.. it was not my intention. just as he didnt have the wiki page thought it fair to link info that helped state why he belongs on the list. any way hope i havnt caused any hassle --MusicCrowns (talk) 23:12, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your interest in improving Wikipedia! Don't worry about the mistake. Wikipedia has guidelines around using external links to ensure they are reliable, relevant, and not promotional. You can read about Wikipedia's guidelines on external links here External links. It will help you understand what types of links are reliable and acceptable, and not commercial or promotional. You can also read creating my first Wikipedia article to get started. User:Em-mustapha talk 16:03, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
Tech News: 2025-04
[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.
Updates for editors
- Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using Extension:Nuke. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address. [1]
- On wikis that use the Patrolled edits feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as "manually patrolled" instead of "autopatrolled", which is more accurate. Some editors that use filters on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings. [2]
View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the Visual Editor's "Insert link" feature did not always suggest existing pages properly when an editor started typing, which has now been fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
- The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is being progressively removed from the wikis. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. The last group of wikis (Catalan Wikiquote, Wikimedia Finland, Goan Konkani Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikibooks, Wikimedia Sweden) will soon be contacted. If you have questions about this process, please ping Trizek (WMF) at your wiki. [3]
- The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: updates about services from the Data Platform Engineering teams, information about Codex from the Design System team, and more.

Question from Dechen Khandu (19:17, 26 January 2025)
[edit]Dear Em-mustafa. I am trying to publish the page in my sandbox and wondered if you can help me edit and publish it. Also I would like to add a photo and then publish the page on Wikipedia. Many thanks. --Dechen Khandu (talk) 19:17, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, to publish your page, You can submit it through Wikipedia Articles for Creation, where AFC reviewers will assess it in order to make sure the article meet Wikipedia's standards before publishing.
- You can also review the guidelines and processes for future reference. And for adding a photo, make sure it meets Wikipedia image use policy and follow this guideline 'Uploading images. User:Em-mustapha talk 15:12, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Weekly highlight
- Patrollers and admins - what information or context about edits or users could help you to make patroller or admin decisions more quickly or easily? The Wikimedia Foundation wants to hear from you to help guide its upcoming annual plan. Please consider sharing your thoughts on this and 13 other questions to shape the technical direction for next year.
Updates for editors
- iOS Wikipedia App users worldwide can now access a personalized Year in Review feature, which provides insights based on their reading and editing history on Wikipedia. This project is part of a broader effort to help welcome new readers as they discover and interact with encyclopedic content.
Edit patrollers now have a new feature available that can highlight potentially problematic new pages. When a page is created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted, a tag ('Recreated') will now be added, which users can filter for in Special:RecentChanges and Special:NewPages. [4]- Later this week, there will be a new warning for editors if they attempt to create a redirect that links to another redirect (a double redirect). The feature will recommend that they link directly to the second redirect's target page. Thanks to the user SomeRandomDeveloper for this improvement. [5]
Wikimedia wikis allow WebAuthn-based second factor checks (such as hardware tokens) during login, but the feature is fragile and has very few users. The MediaWiki Platform team is temporarily disabling adding new WebAuthn keys, to avoid interfering with the rollout of SUL3 (single user login version 3). Existing keys are unaffected. [6]- View all 30 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Updates for technical contributors
- For developers that use the MediaWiki History dumps: The Data Platform Engineering team has added a couple of new fields to these dumps, to support the Temporary Accounts initiative. If you maintain software that reads those dumps, please review your code and the updated documentation, since the order of the fields in the row will change. There will also be one field rename: in the
mediawiki_user_historydump, theanonymousfield will be renamed tois_anonymous. The changes will take effect with the next release of the dumps in February. [7]
