Weekly Tasks

Tech News: 2024-06

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

  • The mobile site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to the phabricator task.
  • On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity. Learn more about "action blocks". [1][2]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar). [3][4]
  • Talk pages permalinks that included diacritics and non-Latin script were malfunctioning. This issue is fixed. [5]

Future changes

  • 24 Wikipedias with Reference Tooltips as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make Reference Previews the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings. [6][7]

Manel Kape

How is adding "Better known as Manel Kape" unsourced when that is the name that he goes by, and Sherdog and ufc.com show that as his name he goes by? Creatorial (talk) 02:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Creatorial - sorry, I opened a number of pages and the unsourced was on another page and click on the above page and pasted it. My appologies as mistake was all mine. thank you for letting me know. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 02:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Fernand Lopez: Conflict of interest issue

Hi long time no see.

I am seeking your advice regarding the user Thenotilus123 who's been editing Fernand Lopez lately.

I believe this user is probably a WP:SPA who is paid to promote Lopez and the gym and has WP:COI issues.

I was willing to act in good faith by correcting the edits but I think I had enough from this latest diff. Its not even referenced right, has a WP:Promo tone and I think the source fails WP:RS unless there's something different for books.

My question is #1 should that latest edit just be reverted by default

and #2 what should we do about this COI user?

Thanks

- Imcdc Contact 01:24, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Imcdc Good day and thank you for the questions. I have a few things, and cant really tell if he has a COI and I have direct no evidence at the moment to connect them as SPA; however, if you have any evidence then pls let me know (also can check editor edits history (past and future) to see the nature of the edits to know if the subject is a COI or SPA editor). The edit regarding the book was written in neutral point of view (NPOV) and it is sourced. So it is not considered PROMO. Let me know if you have any other questions or need assistance. Thank you for your contribution, and stay safe always. Best. Cassiopeia talk 02:13, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
@Cassiopeia
The user made another edit related to education of Ferdinand Lopez that seems to be in a WP:PROMO way. I really do have a suspicion the user is probably paid to fluff up his wiki page when looking at edit history. Should this be reported to WP:COIN?
Edit:Here are some diffs 1, 2, 3 ,4 and 5
- Imcdc Contact 15:01, 12 February 2024 (U:TC)
Imcdc Thank you for checking on the page and informing me. I have changed some of the wording and removed certain part. There is a light tone of promo but not strictly/down right promo. I have informed the editor on their talk page of promo. The editor might be Lopez's fan or truely has a COI issue but I dont have solid evident of such (we both have informed them to disclose if there is a COI) so all we can do at this stage is to obverse further. Once again, thank you and stay safe Imcdc. Cassiopeia talk 00:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Austin Hubbard

I am feeling a bit frustrated about you unilaterally undoing my edits to this page. The page had numerous grammatical and sentence structure issues that I improved upon. Reverting "As per norm format" - what does this even mean? We should not be so rigid to see that even though i altered the way the page is organized, objective improvements were still made. Please review WP:DONTREVERT and try to consider this in the future. Pdubs.94 (talk) 15:57, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Pdubs.94 Good day. Thank you for editing the page and the message above. For MMA fighter there is a format set by Wikipedia MMA Project (such as you have remove the "Early career" , "Ultimate Fighting Championship" and you have remove sourced content that he was released before by UFC, his career after UFC before competing in TUF 3`1 and the upcoming fight. You can go ahead to do the copy edit (grammar) but do not removed source content and the structure. Stay safe and best.23:12, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Per WP:DONTREVERT it's bad practice to revert edits in this manner. Pdubs.94 (talk) 18:56, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
I reviewed your concerns about my edits and will address each specifically:
  • you removed the "Early Career" - I did not remove this, it's in the first paragraph. the format guidelines you reference and as outlined at WP:MMA/MOS indicate either "Early Life" or "background" as appropriate headings for life before MMA. I retained the background section so there should not be any issue here.
  • "you have remove sourced content that he was released from UFC before competing in TUF 31 and the upcoming fight" - i did not remove this. It is in the last two paragraphs of the MMA career section.

Question from Thisissagarbera (18:43, 19 February 2024)

How can I create a article about my village.is that really possible? --Thisissagarbera (talk) 18:43, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Thisissagarbera Good day. You can create an article about our village as long as your village (the subject) meets Wikipedia notability guidelines. To meet the guidelines, the subject needs to have significant coverage from independent, reliable source such as from the major newspaper and books (no official web site, govrn website, no social media sites or any sites that are related/affiliated with the subject) that the sources talk above the subject in lenght and in depth for verification. I suggest you to read WP:My First Article. Take care and be safe. Cassiopeia talk 01:50, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

OpalYosutebito Good day and thank you for interested in NPPS program. pls note that the program is very comprehensive and require a lot of you time reading and working on the assignments. There is no time limit to finish the program and most participants finished the program in 3 months.

@Gallodrow, 24.162.66.53, and 24.162.66.53: My question was do you have any connection/affiliation with Roger Winter and NOT about whether you have edited Wikipedia before. Kindly let me know. Cassiopeia talk 00:32, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
No connection/affiliation with Roger Winter. Gallodrow (talk) 12:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
Gallodrow To add the info in, we need to have independent, reliable source such as from the major newspaper (not the Gallery site or Winter's web sites or any sources that is related/affiliated with the subject for the sources would considered not independent). I have checked the web and cant find any source that is suitable at this moment. If you would find a source that is as stated about and it is from the web, you can use the horizontal format of Template:Cite Web to pace an inline citation at the end of the info added.
