Tech News: 2021-05

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• IPv6 addresses were written in lowercase letters in diffs. This caused dead links since Special:Contributions only accepted uppercase letters for the IPs. This has been fixed. [1]

Changes later this week

• You can soon use Wikidata to link to pages on the multilingual Wikisource. [2]
• Often editors use a "non-breaking space" to make a gap between two items when reading but still show them together. This can be used to avoid a line break. You will now be able to add new ones via the special character tool in the 2010, 2017, and visual editors. The character will be shown in the visual editor as a space with a grey background. [3][4]
• Wikis use abuse filters to stop bad edits being made. Filter maintainers can now use syntax like 1.2.3.4 - 1.2.3.55 as well as the 1.2.3.4/27 syntax for IP ranges. [5]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 February. It will be on all wikis from 4 February (calendar).

Future changes

• Minerva is the skin Wikimedia wikis use for mobile traffic. When a page is protected and you can't edit it you can normally read the source wikicode. This doesn't work on Minerva on mobile devices. This is being fixed. Some text might overlap. This is because your community needs to update MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext to work on mobile. You can read more. [6][7]
• Cloud VPS and Toolforge will change the IP address they use to contact the wikis. The new IP address will be 185.15.56.1. This will happen on February 8. You can read more.

Resubmission of draft

Hello, *:Amkgp, A few days ago you reviewed the Chani Nattan. According to the helpful suggestions of you and a few other users and administrators, I've updated the page since. Will you please take a look. Thanks. HisVic (talk) 17:56, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

HisVic, I do not find it notable enough to pass through WP:AFC. YouTube, Spotify, IMDb etc. as references should be avoided as they are generally not considered WP:RS. Please be patient. If you want further help post your query either at Teahouse or Articles for creation help desk — Amkgp 💬 18:14, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Re-submission of a declined draft for re-reviewing

Hello there, I wanted to know where I am going wrong. I worked on the citations part and was able to find some of them from old papers and references. What else can be included in them for a stronger draft? Thanking you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siddharthpetare (talk • contribs) 07:25, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Deletion Of Darts Players

Hi, Could you please stop suggesting that darts players I have put up basic info for on here are suggestions for deletion, please? These players have participated in major tournaments in their sport and deserve to have their (in most cases, limited) profiles mentioned on here. That's Wikipedia is for, highlighting players that not many people will have heard about. Darts might not be a massive sport compared to others, but these players have earned their pages by right, and shouldn't be deleted.

If you're such a senior editor as you say you are, you should update the rules so that everyone who has appeared in a major tournament, or who has won a PDC Tour Card. It's very embarrassing that these pages keep on being deleted, when they shouldn't be.JRRobinson (talk) 15:46, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

JRRobinson If they are notable per WP:SPORTSPERSON and passes WP:GNG then it will survive at the WP:AFD otherwise, they will be removed. Wikipedia is not a WP:WEBHOST or a platform for WP:PROMOTION. Rules and policy are not decided by a single person here. Thank you. — Amkgp 💬 15:53, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Amkgp There's no section for darts players in that bit, so all these deletions aren't valid. There needs to be a darts area on that section of WP:SPORTSPERSON.

Thank you

Hi Amkgp, I hope you are well. I wanted to let you know that Beryl May Dent passed GA today - easily - as you said it would! I am really pleased :) I wanted to thank you for giving me the encouragement to nominate it in the first place and for telling how to do it (I didn't know). I am thinking of nominating Jane Ingham as well - I wouldn't mind your considered opinion on whether it would be worth nominating it for GA. I am also considering of nominating Beryl for featured article status given the reviewers comments - but I might have a week off Wikipedia before I do that. Anyway, thanks again, much appreciated, and have a great evening. Gricharduk (talk) 17:27, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Gricharduk congratulations on getting the article passed to GA. I think it is of FA standard and should pass FA. You may nominate it after you come back from break. For now nominate it for DYK. Regarding Jane Ingham you may proceed for GA as well. — Amkgp 💬 22:21, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Sidney Hill

On 20 February 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sidney Hill, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that philanthropist Sidney Hill began a new life in England as a gentleman farmer, adding stables to the estate, a dairy and Langford Bullock Palaces for his prized shorthorn cattle? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sidney Hill. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Sidney Hill), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Need help for moving draft

Too much, too early, too fast

Hi Amkgp,

I had previously recommended WP:AN, but I take the suggestion back; the situation looks different than when I looked at it the first time.

My current recommended approach is instead:

• Sleep
• Look at the situation again
• If still completely upset, give it another day
• When not upset anymore, continue editing as if nothing had happened.

Because that's, in the end, all that matters. The encyclopedia doesn't care about the drama, it cares about article contributions. The community serves the encyclopedia. Everyone does.

Enjoy editing and don't let this stress you out.

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:34, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Final Words

Thank you Nick Birse for being punitive and harsh enough so that I don't survive in this space and not able to contribute here any further by portraying as an untrusted user and a WP:HATSHOP. You ignored all the large contributions of 35,000+ I made as an AFC reviewer, NPP reviewer, file mover, page mover, rollbacker and pending changes reviewer. In fact I was a regular editor who would catch people violating copyright (both in article space and file space) and engaging in sockpuppeting, vandalism or subject to WP:UAA apart from creating quality articles be it biographical or COVID-19 vaccine related. My contribution page was always available to verify and even looking atleast a month old contributions would have made it clear. But you did not bother and pretended to be ready in reversing your action both at your talk-page here and WP:AN discussion. — Amkgp 💬 04:49, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Please consider removing your snarky comments about Nick. They make you look bad and I doubt that you will be proud of them when the dust settles. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 08:26, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@Amkgp, I appreciate your frustration, but you also have to appreciate the fact that @Nick, is merely trying to protect the integrity of the encyclopedia, you were an AFC reviewer, new page patroller and now of recent aimed for the autopatrol rights and tbh all this seems to be a tad bit rushed. Nick made mention of you abusing multiple accounts of recent tbh if I were in Nick's shoe's I’d probably would have done the same thing to be honest as those are very sensitive rights & a master recipe for undisclosed paid editing & in the wrong hands can cause serious damage. If you can prove to the community that you can be trusted again then your rights may be restored, although I must say that I am of the firm belief that any editor nabbed in sockpuppety should never hold autopatrol and NPP. Lastly do what Cullen328 asked you to. Celestina007 (talk) 01:10, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Please

...log in if you're going to continue editing. Editing logged-out after resigning under something of a cloud is probably dangerously close to WP:ILLEGIT on its own, but I don't really care about that. But if you do so edit war, edit AfDs your named account filed (albeit not to !vote, but still) and to edit AN, you're arguably crossing the line. Blablubbs|talk 11:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Covaxin vial.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Covaxin vial.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 21:33, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Mahadevi and Prasad stamps.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Mahadevi and Prasad stamps.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:41, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
