Sorry Saqib, the snippet is taken from the Page Triage API, and internally that only stores about 250 characters of the article to avoid database table bloat. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:35, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
If I am trying to add citations to an English article, is it allowed to use citations in a different language if that language heavily pertains to the page. My example is the page for Chindawol in Afghanistan. I want to use citations in Farsi/Persian for the page (in English) and want to know if it is allowed. --Kayhan313 (talk) 02:56, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
@Kayhan313: This isn't just allowed, it is encouraged. You can make your citation better by adding the following parameters to the citation template:
"|lang=fa" for farsi.
"|trans-title=" which can contain the English translation of the title of the webpage/ref and
"|quote=" which can contain a relevant quote from the webpage/ref.
Where can I find reliable copyright free images? How can I tell if an image I chose is copyrighted? Thanks. --Kayhan313 (talk) 18:23, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
@Kayhan313: Wikimedia Commons has a page about this. Feel free to ping me with a link to an image, if you aren't sure about whether it is ok to upload to Wikipedia. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:18, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-24
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 software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering. [1]
The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
The HTML markup used for citations by Parsoid changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the mw-reference-text class, Parsoid now also adds the reference-text class for better compatibility with the legacy parser. More details are available. [2]
Problems
There was a bug with the Content Translation interface that caused the tools menus to appear in the wrong location. This has now been fixed. [3]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 June. It will be on all wikis from 13 June (calendar). [4][5]
The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: Parsoid will now generate a <span class="mw-cite-backlink"> wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. More details are available. [6]
On multilingual wikis that use the <translate> system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community requests it. [7]
Hi,
Good day
I have edited some points that are not shown on the page. Can you please check and let me know what to improve? I introduced information taken from important work that has been done and accepted commonly.
@MabdullahBD: Welcome to Wikipedia! I've left a message on your talk page with a bunch of links. Read through them when you get the time. Now on to your question. It looks like you are talking about Abdul Hakim Sialkoti. I'm far from an expert on Islamic theology, but since your changes were reverted, you can take the advise of the reverting editor and discuss the changes proposed, on the talk page (Start a new section). You did a lot of changes in one edit, some of which might be more acceptable to watchers of that page. To start with, you can create the list of the new references that you want to add and add them in your talk page discussion. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:12, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
I changed the things I know the most possible correct things with necessary sources. I have read many of your guidelines. I think my changes could be put in the write-up.

People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see Edit check for more details. [8]
The dark mode beta feature is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the project talk page. [11]
Problems
Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [12]
Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here. [13]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar). [14][15]
Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable. [16]
Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [17]
Hi , I am kriti kumari sinha , and i am on wiki to add my biography.
https://www.amazon.com/author/kritisinha . i just created account on wiki for this. and looking you guidance for same.
@Kriti kumari sinha: Welcome to Wikipedia. I think you'll want to read WP:YOURSELF before starting on this project. If you still think it would be a good idea to have an article about you on Wikipedia, then continue with reading Wikipedia:Notability (people) and reply back here with 2-3 sources that meet the criteria shown in WP:NBASIC. In any case, Wikipedia would be happy to have you as an expert on databases/SQL and/or python. If you are interested in this, then reply back here and I can send you some links which will help you on this path. Ciao! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:59, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/TransPennine Express (disambiguation) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
(talk page stalker) @EveryDay Matters… ToDay, Welcome to Wikipedia. A page name on Wikipedia refers to the title of an article or entry that provides information on a specific topic. It is what you see in the URL and at the top of the page. For example, "Albert Einstein" is the page name for the article about the physicist. Your username, "EveryDay Matters… ToDay" is your personal identifier on Wikipedia. It is used to log in, make edits, and participate in discussions. It appears in your contributions history and on your user talk page. So, the page name is for content, while your username is your identity as a contributor. I hope this helps. – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:37, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Recent changes
Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions on the project talkpage. [18]
The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode. [19]
Problems
You can copy permanent links to talk page comments by clicking on a comment's timestamp. This feature did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug. [20]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 June. It will be on all wikis from 27 June (calendar). [21][22]
Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this feature on Diff or on Mediawiki.org. [23]
Hey MPGuy2824, would you be able to take a look at the FLC on the Intercontinental Cup to see if I've actioned your comments or not? Would really appreciate it. Thanks. NapHit (talk) 08:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Not sure if your article qualifies? See the guidelines for more information or contact a coordinator for verification.

Recent changes
Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update. [24]
Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [25]
If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [26][27]
Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [28]
Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.

The CampaignEvents extension is now available on Meta-wiki, Igbo Wikipedia, and Swahili Wikipedia, and can be requested on your wiki. This extension helps in managing and making events more visible, giving Event organizers the ability to use tools like the Event registration tool. To learn more about the deployment status and how to request this extension for your wiki, visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-wiki.
Editors using the iOS Wikipedia app who have more than 50 edits can now use the Add an Image feature. This feature presents opportunities for small but useful contributions to Wikipedia.
A problem with the color of the talkpage tabs always showing as blue, even for non-existent pages which should have been red, affecting the Vector 2022 skin, has been fixed.
Future changes
The Trust and Safety Product team wants to introduce temporary accounts with as little disruption to tools and workflows as possible. Volunteer developers, including gadget and user-script maintainers, are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. The team has created documentation explaining how to do the update. Learn more.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both Gerrit and GitLab, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the Migration status page.
The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the temporary accounts feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page. [31]
Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.
Hey there, I've been using Wikipedia for almost 20 yrs at this point and finally made an account. I've only found so much that would need editing in those years, but I would like to contribute more. Do you have any introductory pointers? --WikiHalfBurnt (talk) 00:43, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
@WikiHalfBurnt: I've left you a message on your talk page which has a bunch of links. Please go through them when you can, but you should start with the Wikipedia Adventure one or the Task Center. Besides that, you can join Wikiprojects (either a subject area or a geographic area based one). Could you tell me the sorts of tasks that you enjoyed doing over these 20 years. Based on that, I could recommend others. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:20, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello i just registered on wikipedia can i write some useful article about businesses and companies for information purpose is there problem if this is the new account? --Kushagra Singh Rathore (talk) 07:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
@Kushagra Singh Rathore: Welcome to Wikipedia. I've left a message on your talk page with a bunch of links. Try to start with the Wikipedia adventure one. Anyway onto your question. If you want to start an article about a company/organization, please note that it would have to meet WP:NORG to be kept on the wiki. You can start the article using the article wizard if you'd like. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Feature News
Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and Minerva skin was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to Codex by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [32]
Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via GlobalVanishRequest. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [33]
Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone.
Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the Commons Impact Metrics analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [34]
Project Updates
Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened Community Wishlist. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.

Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on Diff.
How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent blog post by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the WMF Future Audience initiative, where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a ChatGPT plugin and Add a Fact, to help take Wikimedia into the future.
Hey, I'd like some advice on best practice when writing about a company I am associated with.
I have written a brief draft about "Hyve Managed Hosting" and have tried to be unbiased and just include the facts with citations for them. I have also disclosed on my user page that I am linked in some way.
Is there anything else I'm missing or should consider?
I assume the article be reviewed by other wiki users first to give comments etc, right?
You've put the disclosure in your sandbox, but it should be on your user page.
You can use Wikipedia:Article wizard to start your draft. It should help you take the necessary other things that you need to take care of while writing about something/someone that you are associated with.
Once you have a draft ready, reply back here and I'd be happy to take a look at it and suggest improvements, if any.
I've moved the disclosure to my User Page as suggested.
I can see there another conflict of interest template I might need to add to the talk section of the article but I guess I have to do that after it's published to edit the talk section?
Also I have the draft ready, do I have to click "Publish" to make it so you can give feedback or are you able to see it now? I'm not sure if it's auto-saving or not tbh.
I went to publish and I'm getting an error "No stashed content found for 0/f8d0dc96-3eda-11ef-a0c2-69667cbf7e33". Will I have to start over to get passed this error or is there something I can do? I appreciate you may not know though! JTScan (talk) 13:00, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Usually this happens when the computer/browser was restarted between editing sessions. Hopefully you have the draft saved on your computer separately. Please try saving it to User:JTScan/sandbox, for example. I'm logging off for the day. Please try what you can. I'll be able to continue on this tomorrow. I've also left a message with a bunch of links on your talk page. Go through whatever seems interesting when you get the time. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 13:16, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
@JTScan: I took a look at Draft:Hyve Managed Hosting. An organization has to meet WP:ORGCRIT for it to be considered notable enough for a Wikipedia article. The relevant section of that is it should have "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". Ignoring the references from the company's own website, a few of the sources do seem to meet that standard. I would suggest that you submit the draft for review and somebody from WP:AFC who is more familiar with company articles will take a look at it and give you feedback. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:36, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi, would you be able to look at this draft and let me know it is ready to go ahead. The film is already notable and there are already enough mentions. Khorang 14:03, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
@Khorang: Since I don't review movie articles, I've asked for help about this from a fellow NPP reviewer. Since it was in multiple film festivals, I think it will have an easier time being accepted than most movies. Will ping you back once I get a reply from them. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:44, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
@Khorang: The other NPP reviewer that I mentioned ok'ed it. You should submit it for review by clicking the large blue button titled "Submit the draft for review!". -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:29, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Feature news
Editors using the Visual Editor in languages that use non-Latin characters for numbers, such as Hindi, Manipuri and Eastern Arabic, may notice some changes in the formatting of reference numbers. This is a side effect of preparing a new sub-referencing feature, and will also allow fixing some general numbering issues in Visual Editor. If you notice any related problems on your wiki, please share details at the project talkpage.
Bugs status
Some logged-in editors were briefly unable to edit or load pages last week. These errors were mainly due to the addition of new linter rules which led to caching problems. Fixes have been applied and investigations are continuing.
Editors can use the IP Information tool to get information about IP addresses. This tool is available as a Beta Feature in your preferences. The tool was not available for a few days last week, but is now working again. Thank you to Shizhao for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
There are new features and improvements to Phabricator from the Release Engineering and Collaboration Services teams, and some volunteers, including: the search systems, the new task creation system, the login systems, the translation setup which has resulted in support for more languages (thanks to Pppery), and fixes for many edge-case errors. You can read details about these and other improvements in this summary.
There is an update on the Charts project. The team has decided which visualization library to use, which chart types to start focusing on, and where to store chart definitions.
One new wiki has been created: a Wikivoyage in Czech (voy:cs:) [35]
Congratulations, MPGuy2824! The list you nominated, List of presidents of Burundi, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best lists on Wikipedia.

@Николай зайцев: Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a message on your talk page in English and Russian. Now onto your question: We do have an article for Arsen Pavlov, but we don't currently have one for Nikolai Ivanovich Zaitsev. Once we do, and there is a good reference stating that the two are related, then you can add the relationship on both the pages yourself, or as an edit request on one/both of the talk pages. Hope that helps. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:05, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
@Idgne: Welcome to Wikipedia. It isn't exactly clear what you are asking, but there is a question there about references. Help:Referencing for beginners is a good place to start. If you prefer to edit in another language, then you can find that language's wikipedia and edit there. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:28, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion.

To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
After the ＲＩＩＪ update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!
Newly maintained scripts
Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has now been running for a month, and we've already seen some momentous improvement in the quality of many articles about underrepresented subjects! So far, our top-scoring participants are:
Magentic Manifestations (submissions) – 338 points, mainly from nine good articles. He's a contender for the "most submissions for a single country" specialty award, with nine submissions for India.
Arconning (submissions) – 305 points, including from six seasonally-appropriate Olympics-related good articles.
Generalissima (submissions) – 290 points, the bulk from her featured article about Greenlandic interpreter Qalaherriaq and two China-related good articles.
Thebiguglyalien (submissions) – 144 points from three good articles, including two about Kiribati elections, and four reviews of good article nominees.
Looking for ways to climb up the leaderboard yourself? Help out your fellow participants by answering a few review requests, particularly the older entries. Several more nominations needing attention are listed at eligible reviews, and highlighed entries receive a 1.5× multiplier! The coordinators would like to extend a special thanks to Thebiguglyalien (submissions) for his commitment to keeping these review pages up to date.
The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 June. It will be on all wikis from 13 June (calendar). [4][5]
