WikiProject Worcestershire Newsletter - May 2023

The WORCESTERSHIRE Project Newsletter - May 2023

The WikiProject WORCESTERSHIRE Newsletter
Issue 3 - May 2023
(Archived here.)
This photo of the medieval cloisters in Worcester Cathedral by Diliff appeared as picture of the day on 5 October 2016.


Welcome to the third WikiProject Worcestershire newsletter

and the first one in (checks notes) THIRTEEN years! When I first joined this WikiProject back in December last year, I was slightly tempted to mark it as inactive, as activity had extremely slowed and there had been no new participants in 3 years. But I have decided to revive this project, as Worcestershire means a lot to me and I know it does for so many others. But as many participants of this project have disappeared completely off Wikipedia, this project is now in dire need of attention and it would be helpful if a group of editors could join me and continue to maintain it.
Here goes for the third EXTREMELY irregular news bulletin...

What's happened since last time

Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries since 1844 was promoted to Good article on 3 September 2014. Largely the work of Bellow558, a Worcestershire Project member, the article was reviewed by Mike Christie.

Hanley Castle High School was was promoted to Good article on 30 August 2012. There are 78 good articles for educational institution of all kinds of which there are 4 GA for secondary schools in the UK. Hanley High School is the first state school in the UK to become GA.

Evesham was nominated on 2 December 2010 as a Good Article Candidate. The nomination unfortunately failed due to unforeseen unavailability of the editors working on the article. It only requires minor attention to be renominated.

Worcester Castle was awarded Good Article status on 27 October 2011. Largely the work of User:Hchc2009 , the article was reviewed and promoted by User:Malleus Fatuorum.

The photo by David Iliff of the medieval cloisters in Worcester Cathedral (pictured above) appeared as picture of the day on 5 October 2016.

Urse d'Abetot was awarded Featured Article status on 13 October 2009. Promoted by Karanacs, the article was 96.4% the work of Ealdgyth. It was finally featured on the main page on 14 April 2018.

The Battle of Powick Bridge was awarded Featured Article status in 2020 and appeared on the Main Page on 12 February 2023.

If you notice any editors contributing significantly to Worcestershire-related articles, then please ask them to join this WikiProject, as we need all the help we can get.

Would you like to join the WP:WORCS?? Please enter yourself at WP:WORCS! - new editors are always welcome!

Happy Wikying, and thanks to everyone else who has contributed to our articles.

New project resources

Before making any major edits to articles or stubs, please be sure to read the new WP:WORCS/HowTo. Urgent tasks are now listed at: WP:WORCS/ToDo. It should be referred to often, and will be your main stop for most maintenance tasks. We recommend keeping the page on your watchlist.

Priorities are not set in stone and if you would like to discuss changes, please join in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Worcestershire. The current priorities:

  • Population
    Now that the 2021 census details have been released, most settlement articles need updating. This website: https://www.citypopulation.de/ can be helpful, although you should note this does not collect data from hamlets or small villages.
  • Monitor
    The watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
  • Infoboxes
    Some of our articles need their infoboxes completing.
  • References
    Please remember that the list of stubs needing expansion is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference. If you are uploadiing an image, be sure it has a correct FUR, and that you have preferably already created a link on the page where you want it to be.

These lists will help:

Guidelines
Missing civil parishes

There is a project creating missing civil parish articles in England at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes. The missing parishes in Worcestershire currently are:

Evesham project

I am currently planning on reforming the Evesham article to get it up to scratch for another GA nomination. If other editors are interested in helping me then please do, especially if you live in Evesham yourself, as the main photo is from 2008 and is out-of-date as there is a new statue in front of the building.

On the newsletter

I intend to write a brand-new newsletter once every two months, though I would like other editors to help me in completing it in case of my unavailability.

Nomination of Lunar Society Moonstones for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lunar Society Moonstones is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Tech News: 2023-19

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

  • Last week, Community Tech released the first update for providing better diffs, the #1 request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. This update adds legends and tooltips to inline diffs so that users unfamiliar with the blue and yellow highlights can better understand the type of edits made.
  • When you close an image that is displayed via MediaViewer, it will now return to the wiki page instead of going back in your browser history. This feature request was voted #65 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [12]
  • The SyntaxHighlight extension now supports wikitext as a selected language. Old alternatives that were used to highlight wikitext, such as html5, moin, and html+handlebars, can now be replaced. [13]
  • Preloading text to new pages/sections now supports preloading from localized MediaWiki interface messages. Here is an example at the Czech Wikipedia that uses preload=MediaWiki:July. [14]

Problems

  • Graph Extension update: Foundation developers have completed upgrading the visualization software to Vega5. Existing community graphs based on Vega2 are no longer compatible. Communities need to update local graphs and templates, and shared lua modules like de:Modul:Graph. The Vega Porting guide provides the most comprehensive detail on migration from Vega2 and here is an example migration. Vega5 has currently just been enabled on mediawiki.org to provide a test environment for communities. [15]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 May. It will be on all wikis from 11 May (calendar).
  • Until now, all new OAuth apps went through manual review. Starting this week, apps using identification-only or basic authorizations will not require review. [16]

Use of date templates in television project templates

In doing some maintenance in the television project, some questions came up about proper formatting of dates within certain templates such as {{Infobox television episode}}. In that template, the |airdate= parameter is documented to allow for multiple dates to be included as a bulleted list. However, it also asks for the date to be formatted with {{Start date}}. Having done a lot of cleanup on {{Episode list}} lists, I know of the notes included in the documentation about hCalendar microformat and emitting metadata (specifically this note: Template:Episode_list/doc#Notes). So when it was asked how this particular warning applies to other templates we use (such as the episode infobox I mentioned), no one currently working in the project on templates or date format clean up seemed to have an answer. I researched the history of notes in the docs and that's what led me to you - specifically with this edit: [21]. I sheepishly admit I don't understand the "why" around the limitation in {{Episode list}}. I merely know that it exists and therefore patrol use of the template for improperly implemented dates. But since I don't understand "why", when it comes to other templates, I don't know what the proper display should be, nor could I support it in a discussion. So in an instance of {{Infobox television episode}} where |airdate= is two dates (such as a two part episode), we'd include a bulleted list of dates. Should that be like this: 

| airdate = 
* {{Start date|2020|01|01}} (Part 1)
* January 2, 2020 (Part 2)

Or would it be like this: 

| airdate = 
* {{Start date|2020|01|01}} (Part 1)
* {{Start date|2020|01|02}} (Part 2)

I have been doing the former, but as I noted, I can't support that in a discussion other than referring back to an inexact example (that of the {{Episode list}}'s use of {{Start date}}).

I hope this isn't too lengthy of a question, and I hope you can enlighten me, or possibly point me in the correct direction. TIA. ButlerBlog (talk) 20:21, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

hCalendar requires a date in a format which {{Start date}} supplies; but it only needs - and can only use - one such date. It should be the start date for the entity to which the parent template describes. Which in the case of the infobox, is the episode (one per infobox, or one per row, in the templates you mention), not its individual parts. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:45, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
Thanks! I think I understand a little better (but only a little). So I would assume that in the case of the airdate for {{Infobox television episode}} for a two part episode, the airdate really should be something like:
| airdate = 
* {{Start date|2020|01|01}} (Part 1)
* {{End date|2020|01|02}} (Part 2)
And in the case of a multi-part (more than 2) episode:
| airdate = 
* {{Start date|2020|01|01}} (Part 1)
* January 2, 2020 (Part 2)
* {{End date|2020|01|03}} (Part 3)
Am I on the right track? ButlerBlog (talk) 21:12, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
