Tech News: 2022-28
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
- In the Vector 2022 skin, the page title is now displayed above the tabs such as Discussion, Read, Edit, View history, or More. Learn more. [1]
- It is now possible to easily view most of the configuration settings that apply to just one wiki, and to compare settings between two wikis if those settings are different. For example: Japanese Wiktionary settings, or settings that are different between the Spanish and Esperanto Wikipedias. Local communities may want to discuss and propose changes to their local settings. Details about each of the named settings can be found by searching MediaWiki.org. [2]
- The Anti-Harassment Tools team recently deployed the IP Info Feature as a Beta Feature at all wikis. This feature allows abuse fighters to access information about IP addresses. Please check our update on how to find and use the tool. Please share your feedback using a link you will be given within the tool itself.
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
- Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on 12 July at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis).
Future changes
- The Beta Feature for DiscussionTools will be updated throughout July. Discussions will look different. You can see some of the proposed changes.

Jeffrey Leiden update
Hi Qwerfjkl. I recently posted an edit request to Talk:Jeffrey Leiden, the executive chairman of Vertex Pharmaceuticals. I noticed that you are a member of WP:Pharmacology, so I am hoping the simple edits I requested will be of interest to you. Thanks so much. JohnDatVertex (talk) 19:08, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
- @JohnDatVertex, unfortunately, I was added to the list by a bot, and the request seems to refer to a PDF which are hard to open on mobile devices. ― Qwerfjkltalk 20:55, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
OneClickArchive destination
Hey there, I notoiced you used a tool to archive part of User talk:Joeytje50/JWB into User talk:Joeytje50/Archive 1. While I appreciate archiving the posts that have been resolved, I would like to inform about the destination page for the archival. I'm not sure if this is a convention on this wiki, or if this is a potential oversight of the OneClickArchive tool, but wouldn't it make more sense to archive it to 'User talk:Joeytje50/JWB/Archive 1'? That way, I'd keep the archives of the subpage separate from my main talk page. If this is something that is not generally done on this wiki I'll not bother keeping them separate, but I do want to make sure first.
Also, if this is indeed an oversight of the OCA tool, then please let me know when this oversight is fixed, so that I can move the archive page to the appropriate subpage, without inadvertently breaking future one-click archivals. Joeytje50 (talk) 23:45, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Joeytje50, this is a problem with OCA. I'll follow up with the maintainer and fix the archived threads. ― Qwerfjkltalk 06:07, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Qwerfjkl
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Slywriter, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Dil Tanha Tanha, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
- Edit the page
- Remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- Click the button.
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Slywriter}}
. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
Slywriter (talk) 18:28, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Slywriter, I know this was delivered automatically, but you might want to notify @Qwef1234 instead. I just created the redirect. ― Qwerfjkltalk 18:50, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Will do. Wish the tool had options for editors to notify because sometimes the major contributor is neither the creator nor redirector. Slywriter (talk) 18:53, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of AO3 (disambiguation)
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 AO3 (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines 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 deleted 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. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 06:33, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
Concern regarding Draft:Armand, bishop of Vienne
Hello, Qwerfjkl. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Armand, bishop of Vienne, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 21:02, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
Concern regarding Draft:Michael Kovach
Hello, Qwerfjkl. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Michael Kovach, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

What do you mean?
I saw you posted on Bbb23's talk page that I am a "sock" of "TheFattyClan". Please tell me what you mean. I am new here and have not edited before. If my IP is being connected with this account for some reason, please note I use a proxy VPN because I'm travelling in Cuba at the moment and I don't want the communist government constantly looking at my internet so I used a special VPN. Please remove the message from Bbb23's talk page ASAP. Just because I made requests for redirects similar to TheFattyClan's doesn't mean I am him. It looks like he hasn't edited in months.

Hello mentor, keeping in mind the feedback I've received on Draft:Rana X. Adhikari I've made the necessary edits. Could you advise on what further improvements can be made? Thanks in advance. --Quentinhotwater (talk) 13:43, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Quentinhotwater, you might want to ask @Gusfriend for what they found promotional. Also, a few of the references are related to the subject, such as their website, so are unreliable. Also, websites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc. aren't reliable. This doesn't mean they're unsuitable; they just aren't necessary trustworthy. ― Qwerfjkltalk 14:38, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Question from Djdex425 (00:04, 2 August 2022)
hello, are you a real person? some websites just make a bot. --Djdex425 (talk) 00:04, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

CfD processing
I guess something goes wrong with the processing of the outcome of this discussion because the merger has not taken place two days after closure of the discussion. You mentioned some redlinks in a ping message but I do not see any redlinks. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:00, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, I've listed it at Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion/Working#NAC request. The redlinks were fixed by Ymblanter. ― Qwerfjkltalk 06:06, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, It's now been completed. ― Qwerfjkltalk 11:29, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
