Problems
- Readers who were not logged in briefly saw the interface in a language decided by their browser. It should normally be in the language of the wiki. This happened for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug. [1]
Changes later this week
- If you forget your password you can ask for a new one to be sent to your email address. You need to know your email address or your username. You will now be able to choose that you need to enter both your email address and your username. This will be a preference. This is to get fewer password reset emails someone else asked for. [2]
- When you asked for a new password you could see if the username didn't exist on Special:PasswordReset. Now the page will show the username you entered and tell you an email has been sent if the username exists. This is for better security. [3]
- On Special:WhatLinksHere you can see what other pages link to a page. You can see if the link is from a redirect. You can now see which section the redirect links to. [4]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 March. It will be on all wikis from 5 March (calendar).
Future changes
- The developers are working on a new interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. You can give feedback. [5]
- There is a vote on the creation of a new user group called abuse filter manager. The vote runs from March 1 to March 31 on Meta.
-
wgMFSpecialCaseMainPage
was used for the mobile site. It was deprecated in 2017. It will stop working in April. Wikis should see if they use it. If they do they should fix it. You can read more and ask for help. This affects 183 wikis. There is a list. [6]

This was pure vandalism, and your edit summary was not necessarily helpful. If you had given them a warning they might have been blocked earlier, before one or two gross BLP violations. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 03:45, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
Your recent bot approvals request has been approved. Please see the request page for details. When the bot flag is set it will show up in this log.Enterprisey (talk!) 05:27, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
MajavahBot
Hi! Noticed there have been quite a few reverts over on EFFPR. Anything going on, or should it sort itself out normally? Enterprisey (talk!) 19:03, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, I found an edge case when installing the bot on EFFPR, that has been fixed now. I was just typing a notice to WP:EFN when I got the notification for this message. Majavah (t/c) 19:04, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, cool. Maybe the timeouts should be increased from 1-2 hours to 12-24 hours in the configuration? (Although of course if EFFPR starts getting more traffic that should be decreased again.) Enterprisey (talk!) 19:08, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- You're not the first one to suggest longer archival times so I made them longer. Majavah (t/c) 19:20, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, cool. Maybe the timeouts should be increased from 1-2 hours to 12-24 hours in the configuration? (Although of course if EFFPR starts getting more traffic that should be decreased again.) Enterprisey (talk!) 19:08, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! By the way, Special:Permalink/944316623#Private filter 793 false positive (3x) might potentially be a mistake (i.e. bot forgetting to look at a private filter)? (Or maybe the edit just wasn't made, in which case feel free to ignore this.) Enterprisey (talk!) 02:39, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- The bot got confused there because that filter didn't follow the format. I think this is the first report I've seen that doesn't follow the format but if those will become more common I'll make the bot look out for that. Majavah (t/c) 08:18, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Human trafficking in Finland
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Human trafficking in Finland you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of David Fuchs -- David Fuchs (talk) 18:01, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
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
- There is a new search word called
articletopic
. You can use it to search for articles on a specific topic. It is available on the Arabic, Czech, English and Vietnamese Wikipedias. It will come to more Wikipedias soon. [7][8][9]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 March. It will be on all wikis from 12 March (calendar).
Future changes
- There is a plan for new requirements for user signatures. You can give feedback.
- The Wikipedia Android app will do push notifications if users want them. This could help you see for example when someone wrote on your talk page or your edit was reverted. This will come later this year. [10]

MajavahBot uses collon on WP:EFFPR
Hey, I noticed your bot uses colons in it's responses on WP:EFFPR when setting the page name (1). But the Edit Notice of that Page suggests using lists (*) instead. You might want to change this. --Info-Screen::Talk 10:57, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Info-Screen: Hi. WP:THREAD states that a colon should be used and currently both are widely used so I don't feel it's worth the hassle to go and change it for a tiny, mainly cosmetic change. Majavah (t/c) 17:43, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- I looked through the archives of EFFP, where mostly * are used. On the other hand, if we change the examples in the editnotice that would probably change (I guess most just copy it from there). --Info-Screen::Talk 17:48, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, and User:DannyS712/EFFPRH uses *'s. Lists work great for list pages such as WP:AIV and WP:UAA, but for talk page like report pages (in my opinion) we should use indentation (:). Majavah (t/c) 17:57, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Human trafficking in Finland
The article Human trafficking in Finland you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Human trafficking in Finland for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of David Fuchs -- David Fuchs (talk) 20:41, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
MajavahBot feature request
Can it also add {{effp|private}}
when relevant? Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 04:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- @DannyS712: It actually already should do that but that feature has been broken for some time, I'll try to fix that today or tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder! Majavah (t/c) 07:48, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Majavah: also, can I ask why the practice of keeping full archives was removed, rather than maintained in addition to the rolling archive? Ideally the bot would have a rolling archive, and from there move sections to a full archive, to allow searching archives (one of the difficulties at rfpp) DannyS712 (talk) 07:49, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- @DannyS712: I don't think there really was a reason for that, it just seemed more logical to me; that can be fixed if needed. Also, can you implement Special:Diff/945727083 in EFFPRH please? Majavah (t/c) 08:51, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Marcia Pally
Hi Majavah, I don't quite understand your removal of several external links. While the reference to the subject's own cv might be questionable as self-serving, it remains. The other links seem to be relevant to the subject's public activity, history and public image, and of general interest, although not things that would fit into the article itself.

Hi Majavah, Thank you for your comments on the Olivier Varenne page I have created and resubmitted for review. I have added all citations I can find and that are verified. Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rubyocean (talk • contribs) 15:45, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Matthew Devereux Article
Hello,
In response to your message to do with COI, I am not in receipt of any payment from the musician in question. I don't appreciate the accusation given. I made this page to appreciate the artist and his work over the years. I do not know him personally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hibaesque (talk • contribs) 17:39, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Hibaesque: Hello, then why did you tell me on IRC that you do know him? Majavah (t/c) 17:43, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Majavah: I knew him as in I've met him. I am not being financially manipulated nor do I work for him. I apologise for the confusion I just wanted help editing my page. I'm sorry for wasting your time.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hibaesque (talk • contribs) 17:50, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Hibaesque: Thank you for clearing this up and apologies for the accusation. We tend to check just in case as it's unfortunately common trying to promote something here. Majavah (t/c) 17:59, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Hay, do you see that someone has placed a delete template on the page AVR (2020 film), despite the page has media coverages. Please remove the template. Asomzz19 (talk) 16:05, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Asomzz19: Hello, even if you think that page should not be removed you are not allowed to remove that template. Instead, you should go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AVR (2020 film) and add a comment with your opinion. Majavah (t/c) 16:06, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Taavi, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

Deletion
After creating a page under the name of European War 6 it seems you have deleted it for forgetting to add references. Taking your criticisms into account I added a single reference, is this enough?-Thanks Ooh Saad (talk) 08:54, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Ooh Saad: I'm not an administrator and I didn't delete your draft, I just declined it. You are still missing reliable sources as your article only has one primary source which isn't enough for WP:42. I'd recommend reading WP:NGAME. – Majavah talk · edits 12:33, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for clearing it up! I'll try to improve! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ooh Saad (talk • contribs) 13:03, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Recent changes
- Some articles have tables that can be sorted in different ways. For example a list of countries can be sorted alphabetically but you can click on the size column to sort them by size. If you clicked on the column a second time it would sort the countries from the bottom to the top instead. A third click will now take you back to the original sorting. [56]
- Self-closed tags now work as in the HTML5 specifications. This means you should stop using some of them.
<b/>
is an example of a self-closed tag that won't work.area, base, br, col, embed, hr, img, input, keygen, link, meta, param, source, track, wbr
can be self-closed. Pages with tags that should not be self-closed have been listed in a tracking category since 2016. They will be listed in Special:LintErrors/self-closed-tag. This doesn't affect<references />
or<ref />
. [57] - There is a banner called
WikidataPageBanner
. It is for example used by the Wikivoyages, Wikimedia Russia and the Catalan, Basque, Galician and Turkish Wikipedias. It will now been seen by mobile visitors too. Before this it was only seen on desktop. The wikis should update instructions onMediaWiki:Sitenotice
so that editors know to test and style for mobile too. [58][59]
Changes later this week
- You can now edit MassMessage descriptions through the API. This is useful for tools and gadgets. [60]

Asking for further help
Hello! You recently answered my Help Me! request on my talk page. I have a few follow-up questions.
- About templates stored in other namespaces, (given that their original codes include a category, such as the template
{{User:Idell/Userbox ES}}
): I want to use this template on a page without putting it under any category. I’m unable to make|nocat=true
work in this case. - The template link template
{{tl|…}}
doesn’t work on the aforementioned templates either. Are there any alternative method to get the same result? - Can I create templates under the Template namespace (Template:…) as I desire? If yes, what could lead to their deletion?
I’m sorry for troubling you so much but I cannot find answers to these questions elsewhere. Your help is very much appreciated. Idell (talk) 14:15, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Idell: Hi and sorry for the delay.

- The selectors
.menu
and.vectorMenu
will no longer work in the Vector skin. This can affect gadgets and user scripts..menu
should be replaced byul
..vectorMenu

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020
Hello Taavi,
- Your help can make a difference
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
- Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Hi - I really like the idea of your user script, and I think it could really come in handy. However, is it meant to just be used on the classic edit screen, or Visual Editor, or the reader view, or some combination? Nothing I am trying is working... ɱ (talk) 21:04, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

This is because the signatures can cause problems for tools or other text on the page.

Recent changes
- A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. The mobile main page special casing stopped working 14 July. 60 wikis now have main pages that don't work well on mobile. You can see which ones, how to fix it and how to get help in Phabricator. This is the same problem that was reported in Tech News 2020/24 and 2020/26.
Problems
- There is a problem with the interlanguage links. The interlanguage links are the links that help you find a specific page in a different language. The sorting is broken. The developers are working on a solution. [82]
- Some users keep getting the notifications for the same event. Some of these are old events. [83]
- Some users have trouble logging in. This is probably a browser cookie problem. The developers are working on understanding the problem. If you have trouble logging in you can see the details on Phabricator. [84]

Future changes
- There is a
Printable version
link. This will disappear. That is because web browsers today can create a printable version or show how it will look in print anyway. [85]

MajavahBot auto scanning talk pages
Hey there, Majavah! Been a while! :)
I was wondering something. Would it be possible for your bot to be set up so it automatically scans talk pages and if it detects one exists, it "sets itself up" for archiving that page with some pre-specified settings (period, etc.)? I got the idea after monitoring IA Bot's contributions in the Albanian Wikipedia. We've set it to post talk page messages after it does anything and as you may already know, if you leave that option on, soon enough you start having big numbers of talk pages in need for archiving. I was going to ask if something could be done about it. Like using your bot to archive them in a different archive dedicated to IA Bot. But then I thought that even if the talk page wasn't created by the IA Bot, it would be nice if it could be set up automatically for archiving and I came here to ask you about it. I'm thinking mainly Mainspace but even some other tech-spaces could benefit from a function like that. If that's possible, if we could also have a dedicated IA Bot archive for mainspace that would be even better but let's ask for the basics first. :P - Klein Muçi (talk) 11:07, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- I see what you mean by them getting long (that list has longest talk pages that are not subpages and do not contain a link to the archive config template). It shouldn't be that hard to write a separate script to automatically add the archive template to long pages if the community wants that. – Majavah talk · edits 11:51, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, we do so much! :P I can create a VP post about it if you want proof but, as we've talked some time before, in general, as much automation as we can provide, the better it is for us since we're lacking human resources in the tech things. What specifications are you thinking of? I mean, how many posts to let in the page after archiving, how often to archive, etc. Also, can anything be done about a "special" IA Bot archive? Or is that too complex with not much benefits? Ideally it would be like this: MajavahBot detects a post by IA Bot in a talk page and after a certain period of time has passed, it archives it in a special archive dedicated to messages like these. The archive somehow shows in the template for archives along the normal archive. - Klein Muçi (talk) 12:02, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- I think that technically it would be easiest to make the bot subst a template that contains the archival config template with some default settings to pages which need that. That would allow you (or other editors) to edit the defaults as necessary by editing the template. It would need some tinkering but it might be doable. – Majavah talk · edits 13:54, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- Well, whenever you can help on that, tell me. Also feel free to tell me if I can somehow help by providing any needed information or anything similar. :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 14:07, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, I'll probably have time for this next week. Could you please create a page (a subpage of sq:User:MajavahBot, of course name it in your language) and add the archival config template and any other contents (the archive navigator for example) inside it so contents of it can just be appended to top of all talk pages automatically. – Majavah talk · edits 17:45, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello! I'm not sure I fully understand your request (because it looked too easy :P ). I made this page. It has the most common settings we use when archiving pages. Of course the name of the archive will change according to article's talkpage the bot is archiving. What content can I potentially add more than that? Any suggestions? Also, what name do you suggest for the bot's subpage? Can you give me one example in English? I'm not really sure how you plan to use that so I'm not sure about the name either. For now it's just "arkivimi automatik" meaning "automatic archiving process". I'd like the name to have meaning according to the page usage. Did I answer your request? - Klein Muçi (talk) 09:54, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- Unrelated question: Archiving can be delayed for a particular thread by substituting the template {{DNAU}} into the thread. Use
{{subst:DNAU}}
to retain a thread indefinitely, or{{subst:DNAU|<integer>}}
to retain a thread for <integer> days. see the template documentation for details about its use and function. Why would the template need to be substituted? Any particular reason? I want to add the following text to the bot's primal page so users know how to keep the bot away from a particular thread, if they so wish to. - Klein Muçi (talk) 10:12, 1 August 2020 (UTC)- The template needs to be substed because the template just adds a timestamp (within a comment) in the future which makes the bot to not archive it because it's not enough time in the past. The bot does not actually try to look for any templates, it just looks for timestamps. I'll reply with more info about the configuration page later, can't do that currently. – Majavah talk · edits 19:36, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- The idea for the page is that I can just use a bot to add "{{subst:User:MajavahBot/Simple archive setup}} to top of all pages and it would just work adding the archive config and navigators etc. It can use some template tricks (I can help with those) to add the page name to archive config. I think that the current page name "automatic archiving process" is fine, as that's exactly what that template is supposed to do (automatically add everything needed to archive the page) – Majavah talk · edits 17:37, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, okay then. Tell me when we can go on with the next phase. :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 23:09, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, I think we can proceed. I have written a little script that can do this. Can you please translate an edit summary for these edits (something like
Bot: Automatically setup archiving for this talk page
)? – Majavah talk · edits 08:01, 5 August 2020 (UTC)- MajavahBot: Vendosja e faqes së diskutimit për arkivim automatik - It would be good if we could have the bot's name showing up instead of just "Bot". We do have that for other bots and it helps distinguishing their edits from one another. If that can be done, I'm thinking of changing the 4 TranslateWiki strings related to the bot to also include that name. If that can't be done, you can use Roboti instead of MajavahBot, which is the Albanian word for "Bot". But I strongly insist on using the bot's name.

- Question: This header, the automatic archiving configurations, will be added at ALL main talk pages just as soon as they're created or is there a bit of discrimination? How have you designed that script to work related to this aspect? - Klein Muçi (talk) 09:47, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- I was planning on adding the headers for talk pages that are over 5,000 bytes long (this is just over 5k bytes) as there is no need to archive every single talk page with a comment but it should catch everything that's at least a little longer. How does that sound?
- For translations: the translations at translatewiki.net should not contain my bot's name. I could modify the script to replace the word "Bot: " in all edit summaries with "MajavahBot: " if you want. – Majavah talk · edits 12:18, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Yes and yes. The number feels right and that replacement could really help. Can we run 1-2 manual runs after you're done so we can sort out any unseen bugs/minor problems? Even though to be honest, I hope everything is all right because even 1 manual run would mean changing many pages the way it is designed. :P - Klein Muçi (talk) 12:33, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- For technical reasons I'll be doing the tagging in batches, very likely at max 100 per day. There are currently 787 talk pages that meet the criteria so it will take just over a week to go thru the backlog. Is that an okay speed or do you want me to start slower? – Majavah talk · edits 19:19, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- Can we do like 20 the first 2 times and then we go on at full capacity, whatever that is? - Klein Muçi (talk) 19:24, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, sure. Are there any more questions or issues or can I do the first test run tomorrow morning? – Majavah talk · edits 19:47, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- No, everything's good. Proceed with the test whenever you're ready. :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 23:07, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- I did a test run of 20 pages (and I did one manually to test that the template works). List of edits the bot did is available here. If they look good, could you also add information about this auto-tagging to the bot's user page? – Majavah talk · edits 07:51, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- Everything seems fine except for 1 problem. There are cases like this (see at the bottom) where articles have templates in their talk pages that shouldn't be archived. Other examples: Here and here. For the moment being, these talk page template messages aren't yet standardized for us and take different forms according to the one who makes them and their aim. We need to find a solution for those in general. After dealing with this, we may start the second 20 entries test, and after that I'll take care of changing the bot's user page. - Klein Muçi (talk) 10:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Given that I saw this page, maybe we can have another part where we can enter our templates and the bot will know not to archive them? Or maybe you can think of a better option? Maybe just making sure that the archive config. part is below the template is a better solution? - Klein Muçi (talk) 12:24, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- We have article tags here on enwiki too. It would be technically challenging to not archive certain things due to weird edge cases (it's probably doable but I don't think it's a great idea if there are better alternatives). The bot won't archive anything that isn't in a section that has a timestamp. None of the pages you linked (or other pages I checked) have those templates in a timestamped section. Is that enough? One idea would also be to not tag any pages that do not have any sections. – Majavah talk · edits 12:43, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- Ooh, okay then! Can you do another batch of 20 entries as a final test today? Then I'll take care of the changes for the user page and we can proceed with full capacity. - Klein Muçi (talk) 14:16, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- Sure! That script is currently running and will be finished in a minute or two. – Majavah talk · edits 15:02, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- Just checked the new entries. They seem all fine so we can proceed with full capacity from now on. I also updated the bot's user page to include information about the automatic archiving process. I also included this page as a switch for that process. That's its function, no? Finally I protected that page so it can be changed only by admins/crats/stewards. I guess that concludes the work. Thank you a lot for helping our community for the third time now! :)) - Klein Muçi (talk) 23:38, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- Great, I've set up a scheduled job to run the automatic archiving setup job every night couple of hours before the job that actually archives threads. I also changed the code to use "MajavahBot" instead of "Roboti" while saving archived pages. – Majavah talk · edits 16:59, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! Final question: I believe the automatic archive set up process is only for mainspace talk pages no? If that's so, do you think that's enough? Or should we also include other namespaces and even subpages? - Klein Muçi (talk) 17:47, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, it only applies to mainspace talk pages (NS 1). I think that's enough (that's the only NS that InternetArchiveBot posts in). If you need to have it on more namespaces just come back here and I can modify the script. – Majavah talk · edits 18:39, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Help with autocategorization
Hey there, Majavah! I'm trying to deal with a problem in SqWiki. Maybe you can help me with an idea since you deal with the tech stuff. This is not related to archiving or MajavahBot though.
In SqWiki we have +1 more CS1 citation error (compared to EnWiki). If you use a citation without setting the language, you get an error and the article gets automatically categorized here. We need it for statistical purposes. The problem is that, as you can see from that page, there are thousands of articles in need of a language parameter. Can you think of any way I can automatize this job somehow? Maybe with AWB or any kind of bot? Of course, manually is easy to do it. You just open the article, check the link used in the citation, determine its language and put it in the citation. But doing that thousands and thousands of times... That's time consuming, to say the least and impossible, to be realistic. Can you think of any way I can somehow lower that number with any kind of tool? - Klein Muçi (talk) 17:26, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Klein Muçi: Some of them could probably be done with a bot and or a gadget similar to ProveIt, however that's not an area I'm familiar with and I don't have time to spend that much time on. – Majavah talk · edits 20:31, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
- Don't worry. I wanted just a general idea, if you had. Like, what would the bot look for (the pattern) so it could determine the language? Even for only some of them.
- I wasn't aware of ProveIt functionalities. Maybe that can help a bit. Thank you! :)) - Klein Muçi (talk) 20:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
- The HTML root tag (
<html>
) should have alang

Untitled message from Raywalk
Hi, what does inherited notability mean? Does it mean that the observer should not have to deduce the relation, if so only monetary interests are linked on wikipedia. I can easily pay 10 journalists to write bogus news articles about things too, but I choose not to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raywalk (talk • contribs) 12:08, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Raywalk: It means that something isn't automatically notable just because it's related to/used by/etc something that is notable. For example albums aren't notable just because the artist who made them is notable. See WP:INHERITED for more details. Thanks. – Majavah talk · edits 12:21, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Well you could note the direction of inheritance should matter = One album might not be notable, but if one album is notable the author becomes notable by inheritance. In this case the product has 250.000 customers but the technology that made this possible remains unknown. That makes no sense to me. I think the major problems you guys have are 1) You think things become popular if they are good. 2) You wish for us to work on something while giving nothing back. That's not how the world works; good things almost never succeed and you need to allow drafts even without notability. Also you could learn about money and open-source and take responsibility, because the world is changing fast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raywalk (talk • contribs) 14:18, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, couple of points responding to your comments: 1)
if one album is notable the author becomes notable by inheritance
Not automatically, but usually artists that have received enough coverage in reliable sources for an album to be notable also meet the musicians notability guideline or the general notability guideline. 2)You think things become popular if they are good
Wikipedia doesn't have articles on "good" things because we don't call things "good", we have articles on notable things where we summarize information from reliable sources. 3)You wish for us to work on something while giving nothing back
Yes, most of Wikipedians edit as a hobby about things that interest us because we enjoy it. I'm not sure what you mean byyou could learn about money and open-source and take responsibility, because the world is changing fast
