Editing archived pages

Hey there. I noticed that you recently replied to an archive page. I understand that you were pinged by someone else but in the future remember to stay away from editing archive pages! Aaron Liu (talk) 14:55, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

The correct thing to do was de-archiving the thread [1] since it was still subject to ongoing discussion. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:39, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Yep, and now the discussion's on again. Cheers! Aaron Liu (talk) 20:14, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

News

Pakistan reportedly blocks Wikipedia because of offensive material. --Thinker78 (talk) 14:59, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I assume this was for "On the Radar". I did look into it, and by the time I found more sources that weren't just cannibalizing each other, the ban was already lifted. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 22:54, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Editing news 2023 #1

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this newsletter

This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:

The Editing team will finish adding new features to the Talk pages project and deploy it.
They are beginning a new project, Edit check.

Talk pages project

The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.

It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Add topic" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.

An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.

New Project: Edit Check

The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publish changes". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.
