Sad to see you go

I'm sorry that recent hardship has influenced you to leave Wikipedia. You were a good editor, and should you decide to return - your account will be active and you'll be able to resume where you left off as before. :-) I saw your request on my user talk page; I don't perform self-requested blocks unless there are concerns regarding the compromise of one's account, or if the request is regarding the indefinite block and revoking of email/talk page access of doppelgänger accounts. You don't deserve to be blocked, and hence your accounts will not be. I hope that when emotions pass and when you feel ready, that you return. Regardless of what you decide, I wish you well and I wish you good luck in your future endeavors. Until we meet again... ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:38, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Please participate to the talk pages consultation

Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Problems

  • Some wikis will not be able to edit for a short period of time on 19 March (UTC). This will start at 15:00 UTC. It will last up to 15 minutes but probably shorter. You can see the list of affected wikis. This is because of network maintenance. You can still read the wikis.
  • Editors who use Firefox to edit with the visual editor had a problem with copying text. When they tried to select text that included footnotes, templates or block images in the middle they would often only get part of the text. This has now been fixed. [4]
  • Some maps didn't work for a while on 8 March. This has been fixed. [5][6]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar).

Meetings

NPR Newsletter No.17

Hello Abelmoschus Esculentus,

News
Discussions of interest
  • Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
  • {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
  • A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
  • There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
Reminders
  • NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
NPP Tools Report
  • Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
  • copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
  • The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

Unsubscribe Abelmoschus Esculentus from all newsletters.

Hi guys. Since Abelmoschus Esculentus left he was subscribed to several newsletters to his talkpage. However prior to his return, I propose to unsubscribe him from all newsletters, so his talk won't be filled with tons of newsletters, which may make it hard for people to navigate and for slow internet connections. What do you think? --Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 22:11, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
