New set of Linter patterns for the bot
[edit]I have posted a new set of Linter patterns for your bot at my sandbox. As always, I have checked them as well as I can, but they should be checked again for sanity. I'll be happy to examine any test edits. I estimate that these patterns will fix errors on a total of 15K to 20K pages. Thanks for all you do! – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:31, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Jonesey95, I'll try to get to it this weekend but I've been unfortunately busy in real life. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:44, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- No problem. I've been gathering these patterns for a couple of months, so another week or more is no big deal. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:24, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Jonesey95, okay, running now. The searches found 17,262 unique pages, though the search for
insource:/span id\=\"Lilac Soul\".*count\<\/span\>\]\)\<\/span\>\<\/sup\>/
times out so I might optimise it and rerun afterwards. — Qwerfjkltalk 13:28, 19 January 2025 (UTC)- I noticed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cassius Clay vs. Alonzo Johnson is clean of linter errors after 4 bot edits (3 by MalnadachBot and 1 by mine). — Qwerfjkltalk 13:32, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- It looks like I had an overly broad set of patterns for User:OlYeller21. Is it possible to remove those from the pile? If not, the net effect is fixing 1500 pages and adding a minor error to maybe 500 pages. I can fix the minor error on those pages if it is too late or too much trouble, since I gave you the wrong page list. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Jonesey95, I've stopped the run, not sure how many pages were affected. Should I remove the replacement from the run or do you want to fix it? — Qwerfjkltalk 14:43, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

This is the new search string for that user: [1]. So the whole string would be:

Is that enough to replace it? That string should yield 958 pages instead of 1,500. If that doesn't work, just remove it. I knew there would be a bug somewhere; it just comes with the territory, what with people changing their signatures in small ways. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:53, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Jonesey95, okay, I've restarted the run. There might be some errors from the first run. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:28, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. There were a few dozen, but I have fixed them. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:46, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Bot pattern question
[edit]Can the bot handle newline characters somehow? For example, can it fix this pattern? Old:
'''''[[WP:ADOPT|Get adopted]]''
|-
New:
'''''[[WP:ADOPT|Get adopted]]'''''
|-
Detecting the line break, or at least the end of a line, is necessary to make this replacement correctly. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:07, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Jonesey95, I'm pretty sure it can. For instance, the first run contained
https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?search=%22Sep+21%3A+Wikicurious+for+Latin+Music%3A+Editing+to+the+Beat%22&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&ns118=1&ns119=1&ns126=1&ns127=1&ns710=1&ns711=1&ns828=1&ns829=1``<big>P.S.

- And it worked just fine. Qwerfjkltalk 15:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- OK, that is helpful. There are a number of patterns that require line break detection to work. I'll put together a new batch in the next week or so. The last batch fixed something like 25K to 30K errors, or about 1% of all remaining errors, which was great. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:53, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
Qwerfjkl (bot) – 68.192.87.41

I only set out 2 update or "revive" a "dead" reference, & Idid revive the reference
68.192.87.41 (talk) 07:19, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- 68.192.87.41, that's good, but all references should have titles, so you should add one when replacing the reference, so that in case the URL goes dead it can be recovered. In this case it seems Citation bot added a title for you. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:09, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- Well I thought there was a title. I only remember adding a URL 68.192.87.41 (talk) 01:47, 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. [2]
- 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. [3]
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. [4]
- 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 Milan35711 (03:43, 21 January 2025)
[edit]how do I create a creation? --Milan35711 (talk) 03:43, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Milan35711, Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read WP:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out WP:TUTORIAL; it's a lot of fun! Happy editing! — Qwerfjkltalk 08:15, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
CS1 error on United Kingdom–United States relations
[edit]After checking the apparently bad reference, I can find no reason for this error. The reference from that article does not contain a bare url. Bit of a mystery...
- @Richard Nowell, the error was fixed and s no longer present, but it was because you passed the title as an unnamed parameter instead of
|title=
. Qwerfjkltalk 10:05, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I see that now. Sometimes people can't see the wood for the trees. Thanks for the fix! (I've now removed the ref from this section).Richard Nowell (talk) 12:03, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
Universal Code of Conduct annual review: provide your comments on the UCoC and Enforcement Guidelines
[edit]- Copied from Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous) § Universal Code of Conduct annual review: provide your comments on the UCoC and Enforcement Guidelines because this page is listed on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Subscribe.
Please help translate to other languages..
I am writing to you to let you know the annual review period for the Universal Code of Conduct and Enforcement Guidelines is open now. You can make suggestions for changes through 3 February 2025. This is the first step of several to be taken for the annual review. Read more information and find a conversation to join on the UCoC page on Meta.
The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. This annual review was planned and implemented by the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, you may review the U4C Charter.

Tech News: 2025-05
[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.
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. [5]
- 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. [6]
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. [7]
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_history
dump, theanonymous
field will be renamed tois_anonymous
. The changes will take effect with the next release of the dumps in February. [8]

Feminism and Folklore 2025 starts soon
[edit]- Copied from Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous) § Feminism and Folklore 2025 starts soon because this page is listed on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Subscribe.

Dear Wiki Community,
You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2025 writing competition from February 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.
You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
- Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
- Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
- Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
- Request local admins for site notice.
- Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.
This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access these tools
Learn more about the contest and prizes on our project page. Feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or by email us if you need any assistance.
We look forward to your immense coordination.
Thank you and Best wishes,

Unused categories script
[edit]Hi Qwerfjkl, I've been using your script User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/unusedCategories.js for almost three years without issue. A day or two ago, the script suddenly stopped working, but only here on my laptop at home. At my work desktop, it functions perfectly fine. Any idea can could be causing an issue on my laptop? ✗plicit 11:24, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
- Explicit, so, does the console show anything? The script loads Anomie's linkclassifier - does that load for you (turning links to tagged pages pink)? — Qwerfjkltalk 16:24, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
- Linkclassifier works as usual. I'm guessing the console is that blue button that I click which shows what pages previously populated a category – that's the bit that has completely disappeared on my end. ✗plicit 00:02, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
- Explicit, sorry, I mean the developer console (usually accessible with ctrl+⇧ Shift+j). — Qwerfjkltalk 10:37, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
- Ah, my bad. I'm not knowledgeable in this area. There are... a lot of warnings. In yellow, I found a relevant one:
Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/unusedCategories.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript”.
✗plicit 12:03, 1 February 2025 (UTC)- Explicit, that does indeed sound like the pertinent error, but I'm not sure what I can do to fix that - could you try asking at VPT? — Qwerfjkltalk 21:08, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Request for Review and Assistance on Draft:Charles Odii (DG SMEDAN)
[edit]Dear Qwerfjkl,
I hope you’re doing well. I have recently submitted Draft:Charles Odii (DG SMEDAN) for review and would appreciate your assistance in reviewing and improving it.
Charles Odii currently serves as the Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the Small Medium Enterprise Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in October 2023.
If you have time, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or edits to ensure the article meets Wikipedia’s standards. If you think removing the bracketed “DG SMEDAN” from the title would be more appropriate, please feel free to do so.
https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Charles_Odii_(DG_SMEDAN)
Thank you for your time and expertise. Looking forward to your feedback. Imaaaaam (talk) 09:48, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- Imaaaaam, the page looks mostly good. It does have some WP:CITEBOMB, and perhaps has a mildly promotional tone, but other than that looks good. On the issue of CITEBOMB, each assertion only needs 3 sources at most (and only then for a contentious claim). You also seem to be placing all the references at the end of each section - it's better to put them right after whatever it is they are supporting. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:30, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- Your response means a lot to me Sir. I will work on the reference properly with the hope that you will help in reviewing it Sir. God bless you for your response. It means a lot to me and my work. Imaaaaam (talk) 16:36, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-06
[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
- Editors who use the "Special characters" editing-toolbar menu can now see the 32 special characters you have used most recently, across editing sessions on that wiki. This change should help make it easier to find the characters you use most often. The feature is in both the 2010 wikitext editor and VisualEditor. [9]
- Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor can now create sublists with correct indentation by selecting the line(s) you want to indent and then clicking the toolbar buttons.[10] You can now also insert
<code>
tags using a new toolbar button.[11] Thanks to user stjn for these improvements. - Help is needed to ensure the citation generator works properly on each wiki.
- (1) Administrators should update the local versions of the page
MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json
to include entries forpreprint
,standard
, anddataset
; Here are example diffs to replicate for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'. - (2.1) If the citoid map in the citation template used for these types of references is missing, one will need to be added. (2.2) If the citoid map does exist, the TemplateData will need to be updated to include new field names. Here are example updates for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'. The new fields that may need to be supported are
archiveID
,identifier
,repository
,organization
,repositoryLocation
,committee
, andversionNumber
. [12]
- (1) Administrators should update the local versions of the page
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Central Kanuri (
w:knc:
) [13] View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the OCR (optical character recognition) tool used for Wikisource now supports a new language, Church Slavonic. [14]
