Question from TBFmars (19:59, 1 May 2024)[edit]

Hello! I have been working on List of United States tornadoes pages. For the tornado ratings, I don't know how to put, or change the color. If you know and could tell me that would be great. Thank you. --TBFmars (talk) 19:59, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @TBFmars, The colors in the wikitables are invoked from Module:Storm categories using background-color:#{{#invoke:Storm categories|color|Example color}} The colors available are found at Module:Storm categories#Full list of available values. I hope this helps. Nobody (talk) 05:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.

Technical news

Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531

Arbitration

The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.

Miscellaneous

This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from BentNative on File:Kyle Bent.jpg (23:34, 5 May 2024)[edit]

I am being told I need to first upload a picture in order to edit this page of myself. I am a music artist/rapper but under my description it has “American raper” 😬 definitely need that fixed. What would I need to do? --BentNative (talk) 23:34, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:19, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BentNative, Bbb23 has fixed the Image for you. If you plan on writing an article about yourself, I recommend reading Wikipedia:Autobiography first. Nobody (talk) 05:13, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-19[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.

Recent changes

Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.

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. [1][2]
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. [3]
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. [4]

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). [5][6]
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". [7]

Future changes

A new service will be built to replace Extension:Graph. Details can be found in the latest update regarding this extension.
Starting May 21, English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia will get the possibility to activate "Add a link". This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to all Wikipedias. These communities can activate and configure the feature locally. [8]

Aloha, why do i keep getting blocked from publishing? --Alliemeetsfungi (talk) 22:32, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @Alliemeetsfungi: You should be able to make the edit now; if you don't have it saved somewhere, let us know, and we'll help you recover it. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:03, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the Aboriginal Flag is not noted by Google as an independent race --Kittykatty73 (talk) 13:46, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kittykatty73, I can't tell you why Google does that, but you can learn more about Aboriginal Australians here. Nobody (talk) 14:47, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-20[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.

Recent changes

On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word __EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__ to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [9]
If you use the user-preference "Show preview without reloading the page", then the template-page feature "Preview page with this template (what's this?)" will now also work without reloading the page. [10]
Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the alt= attribute. This is identical in usage to the alt= attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [11]
The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [12]

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (calendar). [13][14]
The Special:Search results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [15]

Future changes

In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [16]
Two columns of the pagelinks database table (pl_namespace and pl_title) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the new linktarget table instead (lt_namespace and lt_title). In your existing SQL queries:
1. Replace JOIN pagelinks with JOIN linktarget and pl_ with lt_ in the ON statement
2. Below that add JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
- See phab:T222224 for technical reasoning. [17][18]

Question from TeardropGames (17:07, 14 May 2024)[edit]

Hello! How do I make my own article? --TeardropGames (talk) 17:07, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you can learn about creating an article at Help:Your first article. But you should know that creating an article about your company or products is strongly discouraged. The reasons for that can be found at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. There's also your username that is currently against the Wikipedia:Username policy and part of the reason you're blocked right now. Nobody (talk) 05:23, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Atazy on Canada-Israel Committee (17:44, 14 May 2024)[edit]

How do I add some articles --Atazy (talk) 17:44, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Atazy, if you mean creating a new article then Help:Your first article is the place for help. If you mean adding internaö links to an article you can check Help:Wikilinks. If you mean article as a reference you can check Help:Referencing for beginners. Nobody (talk) 05:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
