Thank you!

Thank you for your generous offer of assistance, Rich. I plan on reaching out again within a few days to ask you a few questions related to my article and citation protocol. Transportation17 (talk) 02:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

@Transportation17: I did not offer assistance with your draft, the message left on your talk page is if you had questions about the move from your sandbox to Draftspace.
If you have questions relating to your draft, you can ask them on either the Teahouse or the AfC Help Desk - RichT|C|E-Mail 18:48, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

@Jessie GYU8: Glad to see you worked it out. However, please note I did read your previous message. I would have been unable to do anything as I'm not an administrator. I have special privileges which allow me to mass-create accounts, but can't do anything with blocks/unblocks.
Also, you MUST make a paid editing disclosure if you wish to continue your plan of creating an article about your company. This is non-negotiable and forms part of the Wikimedia Terms of Use.
Also, you company will need to meet the notabiliy standards for companies and have references from multiple reliable sources that are independent from the company, so no press releases or interviews - RichT|C|E-Mail 09:16, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Also, don't use AI to write things... your previous message is full of it - RichT|C|E-Mail 09:18, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for reminding me, Rich. I will use AI as little as possible Jessie GYU8 (talk) 09:27, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
I understand, thank you Rich. Beside, can I ask how to unblock my IP and who should I contact with? Because the email told me to contact with you solve this problem. And how can I pay for the editing disclosure? Thanks for your reply! Jessie GYU8 (talk) 09:34, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
You are logged in, the IP block doesn't matter if you are able to be logged in.
@Jessie GYU8: You dont pay for a disclosure, read WP:PAID, the instructions are there - RichT|C|E-Mail 09:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your help, Rich. I will read that carefully. And I hope you will have a wonderful day! Jessie GYU8 (talk) 09:41, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 April. It will be on all wikis from 25 April (calendar). [2][3]

Future changes

  • This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of Special:MyPage/vector.js to Special:MyPage/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [4]

Hi @Rich Smith thank you for welcomed. I am a page editor for Wikipedia Italy. Wikipedia gave me access to the Wikipedia library and the Beta version of the account. So I take this opportunity to translate some pages about my city. And a page about me, present on other Wikipedias. If I need to make any "conflict of interest declarations" let me know. Thank you.

Have good time. Autunno2022 (talk) 10:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Problems

  • Kartographer maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using mapstyle="osm". This wasn't working in previews, creating the wrong impression that it wasn't supported. This has now been fixed. [14]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 May. It will be on all wikis from 2 May (calendar). [15][16]

  • The appearance of talk pages changed for all wikis, except for Commons, Wikidata and most Wikipedias (a few have already received this design change). You can read the detail of the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at remaining wikis in the coming weeks. [17][18]
  • Interface admins now have greater control over the styling of article components on mobile with the introduction of the SiteAdminHelper. More information on how styles can be disabled can be found at the extension's page. [19]
  • Wikimedia Enterprise has added article body sections in JSON format and a curated short description field to the existing parsed Infobox. This expansion to the API is also available via Wikimedia Cloud Services. [20]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 May. It will be on all wikis from 9 May (calendar). [21][22]
  • When you look at the Special:Log page, the first view is labelled "All public logs", but it only shows some logs. This label will now say "Main public logs". [23]
