Re Contested deletion of Salon du livre anarchiste
[edit]Doesn't this sounds like an advertising to you?: bookfair offers works that are published both traditionally or DIY, including zines, pamphlets, and posters. In addition to the bookfair, the event offers film screenings and educational workshops. The fair also invites a keynote speaker each year. Like, in my opinion company bio would have been much better then just a list of what it offers. And the two links aren't references, they suppose to be external links.--Mishae (talk) 13:25, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
- It isn't a perfect article, but I think the event is notable. Wikipedia needs more articles about notable book fairs. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 23:58, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 7
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Serhii Bondarchuk, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Nasha Ukraina and Our Ukraine (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dear Eastmain: I see that you removed the G13 deletion template from the above article. I had already checked it out, found the hidden text, determined that it was a single edit copy-paste by the same editor as the article in mainspace, and so there was no article history to be preserved. Do you object if I now nominate it for deletion again? There's no useful content that isn't already in the other article. —Anne Delong (talk) 05:53, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message. I have tagged it for speedy deletion myself. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 09:40, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
- Great. There doesn't seem to be a way to leave an explanatory message (or in this case of unblanking the text) when nominating one of these G13 eligible articles for deletion without editing the article, which then removes the G13 eligibility category tag. Diligent editors such as yourself thus have no way of knowing what the nominator has already checked, which occasionally leads to some duplication of effort. This is a minor problem, however, and the rescuing/deleting of old Afc drafts (Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/G13 rescue) is going fairly smoothly. Only 46,000 more to go... —Anne Delong (talk) 12:38, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you

Declining of deletions
[edit]So, my guess is even if I am the author of the article as G7 says, I still have no right to delete them? If so, where is logic?--Mishae (talk) 03:44, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
- G7 only applies if you are the only one to have made substantial contributions to the article. If other people have made substantial contributions, then G7 does not apply.
- But even if you are the only one to have worked on the article, you should consider that other people may be able to improve the article. Since all species are notable, there is no risk that an article on a species of beetle will be deleted for a lack of notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:49, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
- Over one year, no improvement have been made and it drags too much on a server. Why fixing typos then adding a content then adding something else, when I can delete it, and reinstate it, only with one edit! Does that makes sense? Now, don't get me wrong, I was acting in good faith, while your declining is not in good faith in my opinion.--Mishae (talk) 03:53, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
- There's nothing wrong with a stub article. If you or someone else can improve it, so much the better. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:56, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you!
[edit]Dear Eastmain, thank you so much for explaining to me the reason behind declining of my speedy deletion rather then go to AN/I. I didn't read the article in the Russian Wikipedia prior your post, so I must admit I was wrong. Do however note, that currently I did it not for space sake, but of notability concern. You see, there are certain reasons why deletion template does exist, and Wikipedia might have some article on non-notable individuals. The only thing is to find them and this is probalbly not the best way (a PROD would have been better but I sometimes have technical issues with it, so I don't use it). Someone did explained to me that if an article have only one sentence (especially if its a biography, let alone on a living person), then it qualifies under A7 criteria. Though I must admit that over here I was wrong (again). Again, I would like to thank you for explanation, for adding honours, for pointing me to the article improvement (though I must say, I am currently busy), and for not sending me straight to AN/I!--Mishae (talk) 22:41, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Energy Regulatory Office question
[edit]Hi there. I see you changed the lede of this article from "an independent company" to "an independent regulatory agency" and then unspeedied it. I'm totally fine with having the speedy contested (I find A7 the most nebulous and hard-to-pin-down of the criteria, which is why I tagged but didn't do the delete), but I was wondering where your company -> agency change came from, because that definitely makes a difference to me, as well. It's unclear to me, reading the company/agency's website, which it is; were you able to find other information (or read Serbian) that cleared it up? A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 13:07, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Fluffernutter: The Energy Regulatory Office is listed in List_of_energy_regulatory_bodies under "Energy Regulators Regional Association" as "UNMIK: Energy Regulatory Office of UNMIK Kosovo (Associate Members)". On the agency's page at http://www.ero-ks.org/ , click English, and you'll see that the text is consistent with it being a regulatory agency. I think that the original reference to it as a company was a translation error. Perhaps a quasi-judicial tribunal like this one is considered a company in Serbian or Albanian.
- There's another issue that I haven't dealt with yet. Poland also has a regulatory agency called the Energy Regulatory Office, and Hungary's is called something similar, suggesting that we will eventually need a disambiguation page at Energy Regulatory Office with the current article moving to Energy Regulatory Office (Kosovo). Perhaps all the agencies listed at List_of_energy_regulatory_bodies ought to have articles eventually, but creating those articles would be a lot of work.
- I hope this makes sense. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:06, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- It does, thanks :) A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 14:09, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Hello. I thought that I should notify you regarding the Cliff's Amusement Site article. You were the first editor on the page that continues to have a talk page. A majority of information on the page seems to be bias in favor towards the management/owners of the park. I've done my best to remove the information I can, but what's left is still primarily uncited and doesn't meet Wikipedias guidelines.
In the talk notes, you contested the last time the page was up for deletion. It has been nominated again, and if you think that it can be fixed, I'd love to hear your input.
Nomination of Cliff's Amusement Park for deletion

[edit]Ever since I discovered earlier this year that my Toronto Public Library membership card gives me automatic right-from-home access to ProQuest's Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies database, I've been on a major referencing-improvement binge. Today I hit up Brent Bambury, and noted your past talk page post noting that you had circumstantial evidence that he might have attended Dalhousie University — and with my newfound treasure trove of top-notch reference sources, I was able to confirm that indeed, he did.

CSD G13
[edit]I am currently tagging articles in Category:G13 eligible AfC submissions with {{db-g13}} however I noticed on some drafts, such as Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/American Technion Society, you removed the CSD tag AND moved the page to the Drafts namespace. Could you explain the need for this when you haven't even edited the draft at all (the example given was primarily edited by Ersilverbush)? - RichT|C|E-Mail 19:53, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- @Rich Smith: The topic appears to be notable, so the draft should not be deleted. In general, if the topic is notable, you should postpone the AfC submission rather than tagging for {{db-g13}} so that some other editor can make the draft publishable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:22, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- G13 is quite clear. If the article hasn't been edited in 6 months then it can be tagged G13, as long as it has been rejected or non-submitted. Nothing to do with being notable... also hence why WP:REFUND/G13 exists. G13 is unique because it's instant undelete on request - RichT|C|E-Mail 20:33, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- @Rich Smith: You are correct about what G13 permits. The question is what course of action is in the best interests of the project. If the draft is hopeless, then there is no harm in deleting it. On the other hand, if the topic is notable, then postponing deletion so that the draft can become an article (and perhaps editing and resubmitting the article yourself) is a way to help the project. WP:REFUND/G13 is of little value if nobody knows about the deleted submission. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:42, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
[edit]Hello Eastmain. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

- An advocacy group with a reputation for reliability, such as the ADL or the Southern Poverty Law Center, can be a reliable source. In this case, it is possible that the information is out of date and the paragraph about the skinhead group should indicate that it was present in the past but not today. Of course, some advocacy groups are not reliable sources of information. Evaluating sources is a judgement call. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:35, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 12
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mahatma Public School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Erimayur. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of TG21
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on TG21, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Elgin Children's Chorus
[edit]Hi, Eastmain! Way back in 2014, a user who's had an overzealous deletion history towards me tried to delete my article, Elgin Children's Chorus, and you saved the day by reverting it. First of all, I guess I never thanked you for that. So, Thank you!!! I had just joined Wikipedia at the time, and honestly didn't know how it worked. Well, that same article is at risk for deletion again, and I was wondering if you'd come to the rescue again. I would appreciate it so much! I've been bullied a lot on Wikipedia, and all of my edits are in good faith. I love your blurb on your user page about being a good example and fixing articles that are in danger of being deleted. I wish that there were more users out there like that too. WikiConqueror (talk) 07:29, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
Thoughts on my other pages
[edit]Hey, Eastmain! I really appreciate your help with the Elgin Children's Chorus page. I really hate to bother you again, but I have a few other pages up for deletion, and I was wondering if you'd mind taking a look at them. They are: Jay Kellner, The Planets Gala Concert with Leonard Nimoy, West Suburban Home School Band, and A Concert of Remembrance. Thank you for being so helpful!

Proposed deletion of Computer University, Pakokku
[edit]The article Computer University, Pakokku has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No reliable source has been shown for existence - "official site" given is dead link.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. PamD 08:13, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Ways to improve Truro Junior High School
[edit]Hi, I'm Gab4gab. Eastmain, thanks for creating Truro Junior High School!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Junior high schools are rarely considered notable. It will likely return to the redirect it was from February 2010 until yesterday.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Gab4gab (talk) 01:36, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn't see this was coming to you. I'll just restore the redirect. Gab4gab (talk) 01:41, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

New newsletter for Notifications
[edit]Hello
You are subscribing to the Notifications newsletter on English Wikipedia.
That newsletter is now replaced by the monthly and multilingual Collaboration team newsletter, which will include information and updates concerning Notifications but also concerning Flow and Edit Review Improvements.
Please subscribe!
All the best, Trizek (WMF) (talk) 10:51, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.
What's new?
The Collaboration team is delighted to publish its first newsletter! Your feedback is welcome.
This quarter the team will focus on improving Special:RecentChanges and create a ReviewStream, a new feed designed to improve the edit-review process. Both are part of the new Edit Review Improvements project.
Notifications [ More information · Help pages ]
Recent changes
- Documentation concerning Notifications types has been updated. That page is ready for translations. [1]
- For developers, how to create a new Notification type has been updated. [2]
- Tools owners will be notified when OAuth app changes state. [3]
- When you edit text and mention a new username they are notified if you add your signature. Before this only happened under certain conditions. [4]
- Users are notified if they are mentioned in a section where you add your own signature even if you edit more than one section. Before, users were not notified if you edited more than one section in one edit. [5]
- Sometimes when you mention another user they don't get a notification. Now you can get a notification when you successfully send out a mention to someone or be told if they did not get a notification. This is an opt-in option in your preferences. [6][7]
- On Notifications, the badge is colored if you have some notifications. If you see these notifications, the badge will turn grey on all wikis instead of just the local one. [8]
Problems
- For some users, cross-wiki notifications haven't been working properly. The count has been wrong when only cross-wiki notifications were present. The cross-wiki bundle has been showing only the names of wikis and not the actual notifications. It has been fixed. [9][10]
- When a title was created with some wikitext inside of it, Notifications were not linking that title when they were mentioned. This is now fixed. [11]
- Some Notifications messages were not supporting
{{GENDER:}}
. This is now fixed. [12]
Future changes
- On Special:Notifications, pages and counts related to disabled notification types will not be shown anymore. [13]
Flow [ More information · Help pages ]
Recent changes

- It is now possible to moderate a Flow topic that have been resolved without re-opening it. [17]
- It is now possible to watch and unwatch topics directly from the Notification panel. [18]
Problems
- It is not possible to enable or disable Flow as a Beta feature on wikis where that option is available. This is under investigation. [19]
- Some Flow messages were not supporting
{{GENDER:}}
. This is now fixed. [20]
Future changes
- Communities that have Flow enabled manually on user talk pages will be asked to move on to a Beta feature activation to simplify the process. [21]

- Some tests are done with users to refine the design of those filters. You can volunteer for such tests. [24]
- Communities that already have ORES
goodfaith
anddamaging
filters enabled will be contacted to try that change as a Beta feature. [25]

What's new?
Our quarterly goal is to add filters to the Recent Changes page, that show ORES good-faith and damaging tests and filters around new users. The work on this is proceeding mostly as planned. We hope it shall be available as a Beta feature (only on wikis where ORES is available as a Beta feature) before the end of the quarter.
Edit Review Improvements [More information]
Recent changes
- The filters design prototype for Special:RecentChanges is now stable. Development of these filters will now start. [26][27]
Flow [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- Notifications concerning Flow are no longer all grouped together in your preferences. The "Edits to my talk page" category will now include Flow notifications about your user talk page (if your user talk page uses Flow), and the "Mentions" category will now include mentions on Flow pages. Previously, all notifications related to Flow were grouped together in the "Structured Discussion" category. [28]
- The orange bar will now also be displayed when a message is posted on a your user talk page if your talk page uses Flow; previously, it was only displayed if you had a wikitext talk page. [29]

Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

École élémentaire catholique Élizabeth-Bruyère listed at Redirects for discussion

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.
What's new?
A decision has been made about how the Recent Changes filtering scheme will affect current ORES beta feature users. When this new filtering system rolls out as part of the beta, it will replace the current ORES display on the Recent Changes page. That means the automatic color coding, the red “r” symbol and the “hide probably good edits” filter will go away, to be replaced by the new, more nuanced set of filters and user-defined color coding. All other pages that have ORES features, like Watchlist and Related Changes, will remain as they are now for ORES beta users. We think those pages could also benefit from the new filtering system. But we'll wait to see how users react to the beta test—and make any necessary changes—before we start spreading the new UI around. That's the plan as it currently stands. As always, please let us know if you have any thoughts, in any language.
Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- The Filters for Special:RecentChanges description page is now finished and ready for translation.
- On wikis that use ORES, new colors have been chosen for damaging changes displayed on a list of changes. [30]
Notifications [More information • Help pages]
Problems
- Sometimes, after marking an important number of cross-wiki notifications as read, the counter remained at 1. This is now fixed. [31]
Flow [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- Due to a bug, it was not possible to activate Flow on user talk pages as a Beta feature. This is possible again for wikis that have that feature. [32]
- Flow boards can be moved without constraints. However, this requires the move-Flow-board right. [33]

What's new?
Flow satisfaction survey’s results are available. The survey provides useful data on what users like and don't like about Flow. This information will be helpful in discussions recently begun as part of the editing team's Annual Plan process. As the editing team investigates its priorities for next fiscal year (which begins in July), many ideas for improvements have been suggested, including projects to research the future of wiki discussions and to fix Flow's shortcomings.
Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]
- Huggle users are asked to share their feedback concerning proposed improvements for Huggle.
Notifications [More information • Help pages]
- Flow notifications category in the Notification Preferences page will be changed from (in English) "Flow" to "Flow Discussion". Messages that have to be updated on TranslateWiki are echo-category-title-flow-discussion and echo-pref-tooltip-flow-discussion. [38]
- Mentions were not recognized when more than one section is added during the same edit or when an new section was added and a change (new message or deletion) was done in another section. This is now solved. [39]
Flow [More information • Help pages]
- Rich text mode is now the default in Flow replies. Some inconsistencies used to exist. Now the preference between visual mode and wikitext mode is updated when a content change is made in the selected editor, literally when it is typed in, not when it is saved or when the editor is switched. [40]
- We plan to change Flow's URLs to make them more human readable. Your feedback is still welcome, the conversation will be closed on February 28th.

Speedy deletion nomination of 21st century technology plc
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on 21st century technology plc requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

What's new?
The fourth fiscal quarter began the first of this month, and Collaboration Team has begun work on our new quarterly goals. In the coming months, we'll be working to release the New Filters for Edit Review beta on all wikis and then to improve the beta as much as possible based on user feedback. On that score, we're planning a round of user interviews on the new tools in May to get detailed information about usability and usefulness. If you've tried the new features and have thoughts, please share them with us in any language.
Our other focus right now is to look at what changes will be needed to spread the new filtering interface to other review pages, especially Watchlist. We're also exploring how to incorporate the tools we didn't include in the new interface in this round, like the Tag Filters, time-frame selector and Namespace filter.
Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- New Filters for Edit review are now available on Polish, Portuguese, Persian, Russian and Turkish Wikipedias as a Beta feature. French Wikipedia and Mediawikiwiki have the filters as a Beta feature too, but without the quality and intent filters. [47]
- Special:RecentChangesLinked now displays a message when no results are found for a given combination of filters. [48]
Problems
- Polish Wikipedia is experiencing an issue with predictions (quality and intent filters using ORES). The different predictions are in conflict. An edit can be considered as "good" and "bad" at the same time, and the filter levels are somewhat redundant. We have formulated a plan to address this and are working on a fix, which is deployed progressively on Polish Wikipedia. [49]
- The issue on Polish Wikipedia is shared by a few other wikis: Dutch, Czech and Hebrew, and Wikidata. The deployment for those wikis has been postponed to Tuesday, May 9. Wikis without this predictions problem have been deployed or will be deployed with no change on the schedule. [50]
- Interestingly, the "problem" with those wikis is that they perform better than we anticipated. Once the fix is in place, the tools will work with particular simplicity on these wikis.
Future changes
- English Wikipedia and all wikis without ORES prediction services will get the New Filters for Edit review on Monday, April 24. [51]
- All remaining wikis will get the New Filters for Edit review on Tuesday, May 9. [52]
- Wikidata edits will be added as a type of change on New Filters for Edit review. [53]
Notifications [More information • Help pages]
- Notifications badges were overlapping other tabs on Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox 3.6, using MonoBook skin. This is now fixed. [54]
Flow [More information • Help pages]
- Flow is now available as a Beta feature on French Wikiversity. [55]
- All Flow documentation is now available on one page gathering all information, to help users to search for an information.
- Flow's AbuseFilter integration now allows blocking a particular user from participating on a talk page, or any topic within it. [56]

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.
What's new?
- “New Filters for Edit Review” beta released: As of May 9, the New Filters for Edit Review beta has been released to all wikis. The beta lets users review edits on Recent Changes using an easier and more powerful interface and many new tools, including user-defined highlighting and, on some wikis, predictive filters powered by ORES, a machine-learning program. You must opt in to the beta to try it out.
- More features coming soon: The New Filters are still very much in development. In addition to fixing bugs and making adjustments (here’s our current to-do list), we’re actively adding new features, many at users’ request. A few notable additions you can look for this month: A cool tool for saving filter settings; a “Watchlisted pages” filter; a “Flagged Revisions” filter (for some wikis only); a “Last revision” filter.
- Tell us your ideas—but don’t wait: The team is focused right now in making changes to the New Filters beta. But in a few months, we’ll be moving on to other projects. So now is the time to give the new tools a try and then tell us what you think. What works well? What could make things better for you?
- In the medium-term: By the end of summer, we plan to complete a suite of improvements that will, among other things: incorporate all the remaining Recent Changes tools into the new filtering interface; create new ways for reviewers to move back and forth through the filter queue; implement a “Reverted” filter; and, finally, bring the New Filters UI and tools to Watchlist.
- Have time for a talk? We're looking for people we can interview about their experiences with the new beta. If you’re a regular user of Recent Changes and have tried the new features—and if you can spare an hour to chat in English with our design researcher—please email dchenwikimedia.org with the subject line “user interview.” Let us know how to get in touch with you and what time zone (city, country...) you’re in.
- Wish you had ORES on your wiki? Some of the more interesting New Filters for Edit Review features are dependent on the machine-learning service ORES, which is available only on a small but growing list of wikis. For ORES to work on a wiki, volunteers from that wiki must train it by scoring some thousands of sample edits. Here’s a link that explains how the process works and how you can get it started on your wiki.
Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- Many Recent Changes pages have on top a list of links. We plan to integrate those links in a collapsible menu. You are invited to comment the 3 proposals we have drafted on Phabricator.
- On wikis where Flagged Revisions are used, an edit highlighted as bad by ORES will not be highlighted anymore when the edit is reviewed by someone. [57]
- You can highlight pages that are in your Watchlist in Recent Changes. 3 different filters are available: in watchlist, not in watchlist, new changes in watchlist. [58]
- Wikidata, Dutch, Czech, Hebrew, Estonian and Finnish Wikipedia now have the new filters available as a Beta feature, and ORES is enabled by default on those wikis. [59]
- All wikis now have the Recent changes Filters as a Beta feature. [60]
- Users are invited to opt in to the Recent changes Filters beta when they visit the Recent Changes page. [61]
- On wikis that have ORES predictions enabled by default, it is now possible to choose how to display the predictions in watchlist and recent changes pages. [62]
Future changes
- It will be possible soon to save and retreive your favorite filters combinations. [63]
- We are working on adding filter groups for last revisions, edits from Wikidata and reverted edits. [64][65][66]
Notifications [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- When an article you have created is linked to a Wikidata item, you can receive a notification. Wikidata and all the Wikivoyages have it since May 9th, other wikis will follow. [67]
- Special:Notifications tabs is now set to "Unread" if there are any unread messages. [68]
Flow [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- You can enable Flow as a Beta feature on your talk page on Arabic Wikipedia and Catalan Wikiquote. [69][70]
- When you send more than 50 mentions on one Flow post, you are now warned you have hit the limit. [71]

What's new?
Integrated Filters
- The team is moving full speed ahead on a follow-up project to the New Filters for Edit Review beta dubbed "Integrated Filters." The name refers to the fact that we are integrating the Recent Changes tools that currently remain in the old user interface (like Namespace and Tag filters), along with some tools and capabilities from Watchlist and elsewhere, into the new Recent Changes interface.
- You can get an overview of the Integrated Filters projects, and the general release strategy, on the description page of the project Phabricator board. Among the more interesting new capabilities:
- Category filters: We'll be adding the ability to filter by category. This is a little tricky, since wiki categories often work in a somewhat counter-intuitive way, with the broadest categories returning the fewest results—because categories like "Science" or "Art" tend to contain not articles but other categories. So we're exploring solutions where a category search will crawl at least a layer or two down the category treat to, hopefully, bring back more useful results. [72]
- User filters: We're adding the ability to filter by any username, similar to what's available already on the the User Contributions page. [73]
- Live update: Users will have the ability to look at a more or less continuous flow of changes. This is a much requested feature that we expect will open up new possibilities for Recent Changes, especially for patrollers who want to see vandalism or other changes as they happen. While the updates won't truly be "live," the page updates will be frequent, similar to the way real-time tools (like RTRC or LiveRC) works. [74]
Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]
Have time for a talk?
- We're looking for people we can interview about their experiences with the new beta. If you’re a regular user of Recent Changes and have tried the new features—and if you can spare an hour to chat in English with our design researcher—please email dchenwikimedia.org with the subject line “user interview.” Let us know how to get in touch with you and what time zone (city, country...) you’re in.
Recent changes
- It is now possible to save your favorite filters sets by using bookmarks. [75]
- This feature documentation can be translated.
- It is possible to filter only the last edits done on a page on the Recent Changes page. [76]
- ORES review tool has been deployed to French Wikipedia. This wiki can use predictions filters. To have the predictions filters on your wiki, you need to work on the labeling campaign for your wiki or request it. [77]
- There were some issues with loading highlighted results when the URL was copied and pasted. This is now fixed. [78]
- A "Watchlisted pages" filter group now lets reviewers use Recent Changes, and all its tools, to patrol changes to pages they've Watchlisted. If you have any feedback about how useful this is nor isn't—especially given that we plan to add the new filtering interface to the Watchlist page — let us know.
- There were issues with the tools still in the older filtering UI — like the Namespace filter and the number of results selectors. These have been fixed. [79]
Future changes
- Integration of new features on recent changes pages is planned. They will include menus to filter users, tagged edits, categories and namespaces. See the "What's new" section above for more information.
- Now that users can save filter settings, and declare any settings they want as the Recent Changes page default, we'll be reviewing the RC page Preferences with an eye to getting rid of as many as we can. For instance, if you want to hide minor edits or Category changes by default, you can now do that right on the RC page, instead of having to go to a separate page to manage defaults.
- On many Recent Changes Pages, the community has defined a large number of links that are displayed directly under the page name (example on Polish Wikipedia). Many of these links are unrelated or only peripherally related to Recent Changes, add informational complexity of the RC page. Research shows that they are used only rarely or never. We want to clarify RecentChanges page functionality, so we plan to put the links into a collapsible panel.
- Should the panel default to open or closed? That is, should the default state (which users can change with one click) show the links as hidden or displayed? Let us know what you think.
- The most used links are shortcuts to certain type of edits, (Mobile, Newcomers...). Users can already save their favorite filter settings to the Saved Settings menu, which should make some of the existing links redundant. We plan to provide default bookmarks for the most used filters combinations. [80]
Notifications [More information • Help pages]
Future changes
- Wikimedia Deutschland have scheduled the notifications of Wikibase notifications to Wikimedia projects: all the Wikivoyages on May 3; all the Wikipedias except en, fr, de on May 30; all other projects on June 13 and Wikipedias en, fr, de on September 5. [81]
- It will be possible to restrict who can send you notifications. [82]
Flow [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- Flow has been activated on all talk pages on Catalan Wikiquote. [83]
Future changes
- On the Beta feature page, the activation message has been review to emphase the fact that the unstructured wikitext page will be archived. [84]

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.
What's new?
The team is currently working on three main goals, which we expect to complete this summer or in September:
- Graduate New Filters for Edit Review core features out of beta:
- The core New Filters features slated to become standard parts of Recent Changes are the ones that have been out in beta for a while and fully road-tested by the community.
- These include the new filtering interface, the machine-learning filter groups “User Intent Predictions” and “Quality Predictions,” the highlighting tools, the ability to save your filter settings for later use, and the new filter groups: “Watchlisted pages,” “Last revision” and "User registration and experience."
- There’s a list of “blocker” tasks we need to complete before these features are ready to graduate out of beta.
- We expect to release those features by default in September. A more precise message will be sent to communities. If you have questions about it, you can write a message on Mediawiki.org, in any language.
- Extend the New Filters to Watchlist: The Watchlists of very active editors can include thousands of pages. To help these busy folks keep up with their work, we’re adding the New Filters UX and tools to Watchlist. The Watchlist and Recent Changes pages are similar, but there is some work involved in adapting the tools to their new setting. That work should be ready some time in late summer or early fall. Stay tuned for an announcement!
- Continuing work on “Integrated Filters”:
- While the New Filters for Edit Review beta brought probably 70% of the old-style Recent Changes features into the new user interface, it left some behind—like the Tag and Namespace filters and the controls for the number of days searched and number of results presented. As the name is meant to suggest, “Integrated filters” integrates those old-style tools into the new UI.
- It also adds some new tools users have asked for, such as:
- “Live updates” which provides a near real-time automatic refresh of the Recent Changes page.
- Category filters, which enable users to search by category.
- User filters, which let you define searches that include or exclude edits by particular users.
- We will put the community-defined related links that cluster at the top of most Recent Changes pages into a collapsible panel, in order to clarify the Recent Changes page.
We should note that it’s not certain these last two additions will make the cut for inclusion this year. If you want a make the case for either one, we want to hear from you.
Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- Some styling adjustments are ongoing on the filters for recent changes. [85]
- RecentChanges with the Beta feature were very slow to load on Wikidata. It is now fixed. [86]
- In the Beta feature, you can try the Live Updates feature. Just add
&liveupdate=1
at the end of the URL in Recent Changes page. [87]
Future changes
- ORES review tool will be deployed to Romanian and Albanian Wikipedia soon. These wikis will be able to use predictions filters. To have the predictions filters on your wiki, you need to work on the labeling campaign for your wiki or request it. [88]
- Sometimes the RecentChanges page were reloading before the filters have ended to be loaded. It is going to be fixed. [89]
Notifications [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- It is now possible to display the number of unread notifications in the browser title bar, using a gadget. [90]
Future changes
- It will be possible to restrict who can send you notifications on a wiki. This new feature will accessible in your preferences, in the Notifications tab, on Wednesday, July 26. [91]

Content translation [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes

Articles user recently edited (in currently selected source language wiki) are surfaced when there is no input in search bar, with additional info if article is missing in user's currently selected target language.
- Long suggestion descriptions are limited to three lines, and the rest is truncated, which is indicated by ellipsis.

Recent changes
- Edit-user-talk notifications are now expandable. [111]
Structured Discussions [More information • Help pages]
Future changes
- Some work is ongoing to store Structured Discussions contents from HTML to wikitext. That change will allow some specific templates and magic words to work properly on Structured Discussions. [112]
- Some tests are conducted in order to prepare the rewriting of Structured Discussions' interface. That rewriting will have no visible impact on users but it will ease future changes.
Other projects
- Compact Language Links has been deployed on German Wikipedia. [113]

A silly action
[edit]Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
With respect to Draft:Reportazh mbi Kryeqytetin e Shqipërisë, declining a CSD:G13 nomination only to AFC review the page and decline the AFC review because it's not written in English does not help the author. Please read over WP:BURO and WP:IAR to realize all your actions did was to kick the deletion down the road 6 months on something that was going to be deleted anyway.
