"I believe this page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion as outlined in Wikipedia's CSD policy. The subject is notable for [state the notable achievements, awards, recognitions, or any significant contributions to the field]. Credible sources [list any available sources like news articles, reviews, or academic references] establish the subject’s importance and demonstrate a verifiable impact on [state the relevant industry, community, or field]. These sources meet Wikipedia’s notability standards and ensure the information is well-supported, verifiable, and relevant to readers.
Please retain this page to allow for proper expansion and citation improvements. I believe a deletion discussion, if necessary, would be more appropriate to address any concerns.

Be sure to focus on *verifiable significance* through reliable, secondary sources and avoid promotional language. Wikipedia’s guidelines require that the subject’s impact be well-documented and publicly recognized, so emphasize those points to strengthen your request.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Mouseover, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 05:46, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
Specifically, please don't use unnecessary caps in section headers - Wikipedia uses sentence case. Thank you, Jessicapierce (talk) 05:46, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-45
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [1]
- Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
- The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [2]
- View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.
Updates for technical contributors
- XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [3]
In depth
- Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
- The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.
Meetings and events
- MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 is happening in Vienna, Austria and online from 4 to 6 November 2024. The conference will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users.
