Vestrian24Bio is taking a short wikibreak to get ready for exams and will be back on Wikipedia once the exams are over on 9 December 2024 (30 December 2024 ). Most likely, however, Vestrian24Bio will not be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long and will probably be making some small edits anyway. |

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Wikipedia Top 25 Reports in 2025
[edit]A tag has been placed on Category:Wikipedia Top 25 Reports in 2025 indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 06:10, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

One of the Girls GA
[edit]Hi, I noticed another user submitted the article "One of the Girls" for a good article nomination and it was failed by you as they did not contribute to the article. As the article's main contributor, I'd be happy to work with you to make the article GA. I've submitted it myself this time as a GA nominee, let me know if you'd be interested again! Flabshoe1 (talk) 15:11, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Flabshoe1: I've picked up the GAN, but I'm a little busy now. It might take take a day or three to go on with the review, hope you don't mind the delay. Vestrian24Bio 16:23, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sounds good, no worries about the delay! Flabshoe1 (talk) 16:26, 17 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.

[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. [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_history
dump, theanonymous
field will be renamed tois_anonymous
. The changes will take effect with the next release of the dumps in February. [7]

Hi, Nimrou. I'm afraid I'll be unavailable from today, for the medium term at least, so I think it may be best to close this GAN unless you can complete it without my assistance. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thanks for your interest, and all the best. Beir bua! ReturnDuane (talk) 10:49, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- @ReturnDuane: When will you get back? Vestrian24Bio 10:51, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- After this morning, it will be weeks, possibly months. Sorry, but I can't be specific. ReturnDuane (talk) 10:56, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- @ReturnDuane: Okay, I will close the GAN. When you get back just leave me a message and we'll do the rest of the review then. Vestrian24Bio 10:57, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- That's fair enough. Thanks again. ReturnDuane (talk) 11:00, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Your WikiCup submissions: two GAN reviews
[edit]Hi Vestrian24Bio, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Talk:The Two Hundred/GA2 and Talk:Best Friends Forever (South Park)/GA1 for GANR points in the WikiCup. Unfortunately, neither review is long enough: they are both quick fails with one sentence of text. As per Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, such reviews are ineligible for points; you can only claim points for sufficiently detailed reviews, and quick fails usually don't qualify for points in any case. Epicgenius (talk) 02:23, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Got it, thanks for the message. Vestrian24Bio 02:25, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
