DYK for Chemical graph generator
On 21 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chemical graph generator, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that one of the first generators of chemical graphs (example pictured) was developed in the context of NASA's Mariner program to facilitate the automated identification of chemical compounds in the search for life on Mars? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chemical graph generator. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Chemical graph generator), 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.

Question about Wikidata
Hey Daniel, this might be a little bit too basic to ask you, but I was wondering if you have any insight on this. What happens when I create the wikidata item & then the biography for a scientist? Is there an easy way to update the info about them? For example, I recently created the item for this scientist and doing this search there are a lot of articles that have her as an author, but is there a way I can automatically change/update this data? Thanks. Scann (talk) 18:17, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Editing news 2021 #2
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
- Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
- The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Citing IPCC report
Hi Daniel, I was talking to Femkemilene today at Wikimania, and she mentioned Wikipedia:IPCC_citation/AR6 - a rather complex report to cite! Do you have any technical advice on how our advanced citation tools can make it easier? Also tagging User:Phoebe, Andy Mabbett, DarTar and Diego de la Hera because I saw your presentation today! --Slashme (talk) 20:59, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, User:Slashme! I can share some thoughts regarding VisualEditor's automatic citation tool and corresponding source code editor tools RefToolbar and Proveit. They all use Citoid to automatically generate citations (i.e., fill in citation templates) from a given URL. Citoid, in turn, mostly uses Zotero (specifically, Zotero translators) behind scenes to do this. Zotero has recently updated their translators to support the IPCC AR6 report. However, it's done in a way that, as far as I know, is not supported by Citoid. Briefly, multiple results are returned for the report's landing page (https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/), whereas I think Citoid expects individual results (one per report part URL). As a workaround, if you are a Zotero user, you could: (1) use your web browser's Zotero connector extension to import those multiple items to your Zotero, and (2) use Zotero's Wikipedia Citation Templates exporter to generate citations and paste them to Wikipedia. --Diegodlh (talk) 22:02, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- That is so much easier than manual :). I'll be updating WP:IPCC_citation/AR6, so that others don't have to download the software. Thanks a lot! FemkeMilene (talk) 07:59, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks all for having sorted this out — I wouldn't know of a better solution at the moment. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 15:48, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
