    • auto-watchlist-expiry automatically watchlists every page you edit for a user-definable duration (you can still pick a different time using the dropdown, though).
    • generate pings generates the wikitext needed to ping all members of a category, up to 50 editors (the limit defined by MediaWiki).
    • share ExpandTemplates url allows for easy sharing of your inputs to Special:ExpandTemplates. It adds a button that, when clicked, copies a shareable URL to your exact invocation of the page, like this. Other editors do not need to have this script installed in order to access the URL generated.
    • show tag names shows the real names of tags next to their display names in places such as page revision histories or the watchlist.
  • Tol:
  • Venkat TL:
    • ColourContrib color-codes the user contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit the page.
  • Vukky:

All in all, some very neat scripts were written in these last few months. Hoping to see many more in the next issue -- drop us a line on the talk page if you've been writing (or seeing) anything cool and good. Filling in for DannyS712, this has been jp×g.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2021-52

The winner this Translation of the week is

Please be bold and help translate this article!

Luís Gonzaga Pinto da Gama (Salvador, June 21, 1830 – São Paulo, August 24, 1882) was a Brazilian Rábula (self-taught lawyer), abolitionist, orator, journalist and writer, and the Patron of the Abolition of Slavery in Brazil.

Born to a free black mother and a white father, he was nevertheless made a slave at the age of 10, and remained illiterate until the age of 17. He judicially won his own freedom and began to work as a lawyer on behalf of the captives, and by the age of 29 he was already an established author and considered "the greatest abolitionist in Brazil".

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to attempt to make unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at History of Tibet (1950–present), you may be blocked from editing. Don't add unreliable source Rastinition (talk) 13:54, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

@Rastinition: you removed the Wall Street Journal, a reliable source. Your unwarranted removal of reliable sources is quite disruptive, warning me over restoring a reliable source with a threat of blocking doesn't really shine a good light on your actions. --Donald Trung (talk) 14:00, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Tibet_%281950%E2%80%93present%29&type=revision&diff=1063143967&oldid=1063143126 14:00, 1 January 2022‎ Rastinition talk contribs‎ 79,359 bytes +450‎ Restore part of ref.
You only noticed the warning but did not notice that I did restore what should be restored.I have nothing else to talk to you.Contact with you makes me feel bad. Rastinition (talk) 14:06, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Idem ditto. --Donald Trung (talk) 14:12, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

January 2022

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you attempt to make unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Qing dynasty coinage. 19:42, 5 January 2022: Donald Trung triggered filter 1,045, performing the action "edit" on Qing dynasty coinage. Actions taken: Warn; Filter description: Self-published (blog / web host) Rastinition (talk) 22:40, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

When the filter is triggered, you ignore the system warning and save the edit without checking.

If you are not sure whether your edit will trigger the filter, you can split the edit several times. This will make it easier for you to check.--Rastinition (talk) 22:50, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

You're leaving threats of blocking for triggering edit filters, but if you ever read the policies you think you're enforcing you'd understand why some self-published sources are acceptable and when, the WordPress blog that hit the filter simply hosts a 1900 contemporary account of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Your removals are very close to vandalism but assuming that you mean well I will just assume that you don't understand the policies you think you're enforcing, despite others explaining to you how overzealous your removals are by user "Coumets" and here by user "Alexis Jazz". Also, you use these warning templates carelessly. --Donald Trung (talk) 22:51, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
See this isolation, also "note: "Acceptable source as it hosts photographs and information from the 1900 book." Wouldn't want to add such a note but some overzealous people would remove sources without checking for context.". Specifically referring to people like you that can't tell the difference between when to use self-published sources and when not to use them. --Donald Trung (talk) 22:53, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
Are you sure you only trigger wordpress?If you are sure, I can put back wordpress content. But I only put back wordpress. Rastinition (talk) 22:59, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
I will check all sources, I had already removed KKNews from the restoration, I am not opposed to improving the article by replacing bad sources with good ones, I am just against the massive blanking of large parts of the article because it's supposedly too long. I had suggested splitting it up before to another user but in its old state it shows a concise history of the Qing coinage from its inception to its demise and as it's the best documented Chinese dynastic coinage period it simply has more information because more has been written about it. --Donald Trung (talk) 23:11, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Please be bold and help translate this article!

Christmas tree production occurs worldwide on Christmas tree farms, in artificial tree factories and from native strands of pine and fir trees. Christmas trees, pine and fir trees purposely grown for use as a Christmas tree, are grown on plantations in many western nations, including Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. In Australia, the industry is relatively new, and nations such as the United States, Germany and Canada are among world leaders in annual production.

Great Britain consumes about 8 million trees annually, while in the United States between 35 and 40 million trees are sold during the Christmas season. Artificial Christmas trees are mostly produced in the Pearl River delta area of China. Christmas tree prices were described using a Hotelling-Faustmann model in 2001, the study showed that Christmas tree pr
