It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of User:Coyau. He was a very active editor on Wikidata and the other Wikimedia projects. He will be deeply missed by his friends and family but his great work on open culture will stay. Feel free to browse and share his work. Thanks Guillaume for this message.

Tech News: 2016-50

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

  • Users who have Yahoo email addresses could not use Special:EmailUser to send emails. This has now been fixed. Emails will now come from a @wikimedia.org address. Users who get an email from you will still reply to your email address and be able to see it. [5]
  • You can now see how many categories and pages there are in the categories in Special:TrackingCategories. This is to help you find pages that could need attention. [6]
  • Markup colours for reviewed and pending revisions in the page history and recent changes and logs now match Wikimedia standard colours. The "You have a new message on your talk page" notification will have a slightly different colour. [7]

Problems

  • Because of work on cross-wiki watchlists global renaming is not working. The plan is to turn it on again on 16 December. Global renaming was turned off for a while in late November and early December as well. [8]

Changes this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 December. It will be on all wikis from 15 December (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on December 13 at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

usually people WP:BRD

so if you see your edit reverted.. discuss first before edit warring. 80.233.239.118 (talk) 15:00, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Göteborg's Högre Samskola listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Göteborg's Högre Samskola. Since you had some involvement with the Göteborg's Högre Samskola redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Si Trew (talk) 15:34, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-51

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

Tech News

  • Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2017.
  • The writers of the technical newsletter are asking for your opinion. Did you get the information you wanted this year? Did we miss important technical news in 2016? What kind of information was too late? Please tell us! You can write in your language. Thank you!

Recent changes

  • Administrators and translation administrators can now use Special:PageLanguage on wikis with the Translate extension. This means you can say what language a page is in. The Translate extension will use that language as the source language when you translate. Previously this was always the wiki's default language. This was usually English. [9]
  • Wikis connected to Wikidata can now use the parser function {{#statements: }} to get formatted data. You can also use {{#property: }} to get raw data. You can see the difference between the two statements. There are also similar new functions in Lua. [10]

Problems

  • Some abuse filters for uploaded files have not worked as they should. We don't know exactly which filters didn't work yet. This means some files that filters should have prevented from being uploaded were uploaded to the wikis. MediaWiki.org and Testwiki have been affected since 13 October. Commons and Meta have been affected since 17 October. Other wikis have been affected since 17 November. [11]

Changes this week

  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either.

Meetings

  • The next meeting with the VisualEditor team will be on 3 January at 20:00 (UTC). During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. See how to join.

Great image

Paranasal sinuses

Fantastic work, just noticed it. Really great image, --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:52, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, but I had mis-tagged that one, hadn't made it myself. Working on far more take a look at Commons:Category:CNX Anatomy & Physiology. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 09:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Irritable male syndrome

Hello. I've reverted your unilateral redirect of this article because it is cited and appears to have useful content. If this is unacceptable to you, I'd ask you take it to WP:AfD for resolution. Thank you. Praemonitus (talk) 22:43, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Your statements on my talkpage

Carl. I asked you to reconsider the bold and negative statements you made on my talkpage [12]. Sure if I made mistakes or did behave bad someone can tell me so, sometimes even hard words may be necessary. But this is unacceptable, as I wrote. Once again I ask you to substantiate or withdraw those statements. If, OTOH, you keep adding to the list of BF accusations, I may respond differently. -DePiep (talk) 08:28, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Psychoanalysis

I think it would be best if you left the hatting off the talk page. Edit warring to restore it (when you seem to be alone in wanting to restore it) is unprofitable and a diversion from the main task of improving the article. If you don't find the conversation you hatted to be helpful ignore it and start a more helpful thread. Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 16:23, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

ShoutingBLP

Hi there CFCF. I am here in the spirit of goodwill. Its about WP:BLP - blp is not a cut and dried written down policy, it is more of an understanding of trust and care to the living people that we report about. We are encouraged to report on them conservatively and with caution. wp:due and wp:wellknown are available but are overridden by the basics of WP:BLP. Please try to look at it this way, it is irrelevant if you can find lots of weblinks that chit chat about something you want to or think should be added - its more that if you consider carefully the living person and his life from a respectful point of view you would not attempt to add that content even if there are weblinks which are reporting it. A biography is about the basic notable details of someones life, that is what WP:BLP is there to protect. The details in the press regarding all this speculation surrounding his mental health are nothing to do with his notable neutral biography/life story. Perhaps there is an article where such speculation may be worth a careful mention, the president article perhaps but in his wikipedia biography there is no place for it at all, under cautious wikipedia editing as we are requested to edit surrounding living people, there is no place at all and also no chance of inclusion. Your forceful desire to have it included in this living persons life story is not the way forward for the projects primary desire to protect living people. regards.

trump

Please don't hide any of my posts or yours for that matter on the talkpage - ask an administrator if you have concerns - thanks Govindaharihari (talk) 19:55, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

That is not the way forward, see WP:CIVIL, WP:ADHOMINEM. I would only need to ask an adminstrator if I felt the issue was large enough that it should merit deleting your comment from the record. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 19:57, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
as I said, ask an admin if you have concerns, don't start an edit war Govindaharihari (talk) 19:58, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
