Hello, Tails

I hope you're having a great day. But the is question are you on YouTube? -CouchPotato0209

P.S I might not respond until Monday because I'm taking a break CouchPotato0209 (talk) 13:33, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

I am not, unfortunately. I hope you're having a good day as well! Tails Wx 13:50, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
I saw something that said "Miles Tails Prower" I thought that could be relate to you. Do you have any information about this "Miles Tails Prower". CouchPotato0209 (talk) 11:54, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Well, that account is unrelated to me! Tails Wx 12:11, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Are you an expert at speaking in Korean? CouchPotato0209 (talk) 14:15, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Nah–I'm not quite fluent, I'm sort of rudimentary. I can speak English quite well, though! Tails Wx 14:33, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Do you know anybody who speaks Korean fluently? CouchPotato0209 (talk) 14:36, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
I've got a few friends, but I can't share it due to privacy concerns. Tails Wx 14:39, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
The Korean Wikipedia definitely would. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:40, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Thank you very much! CouchPotato0209 (talk) 14:43, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
No problem! Tails Wx 14:48, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

BTW, CouchPotato0209, after you asked me, I decided to create one, and should be linked in my userpage! Tails Wx 20:36, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Y'know, this reminds me of my own YouTube channel. I haven't shut it down, I just haven't uploaded a new video in... a year holy crap. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:44, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Problems

  • Due to security issues with the Graph extension, graphs have been disabled in all Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia Foundation teams are working to respond to these vulnerabilities. [2]

A barnstar for you!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
I've somehow never given you a barnstar before. You've done great work in anti-vandalism, including reverting when someone reverts me when I had a valid reason before I even get to it. You've also been a pretty great friend. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:22, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
Wow–thanks so much Blaze! And you're a great friend as well, especially when giving me advice for denial stuff, like here! And I've learned from my mistakes from you! :) Tails Wx 17:35, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
I forgot that your username used to be Sarrail. Interesting that very IP was recently blocked again for the same behavior they were blocked for. Clearly some people don't learn. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:42, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
Shhh! I, uh, actually didn't want to expose my personal information, so I think that explains why I was named that name in the first place. ;) Anyway, this this welcome message to the IP is interesting! Seriously, that IP escalated their disruptive editing... Tails Wx 17:54, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
I think that was just a new user restoring a welcome message not knowing that they can remove the welcome message per WP:OWNTALK. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:04, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
The IP already had a welcome message placed on their talk page prior to the newer one! I wonder if the user who placed the welcome message noticed the previous one! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Tails Wx 18:11, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
For being very helpful and pleasant to be around on Wikipedia as a whole. Cheers! Fakescientist8000 00:14, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, Fakescientist8000! Good to have you around on Wikipedia as well! Tails Wx 00:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Richmond, Indiana facility fire

On 30 April 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Richmond, Indiana facility fire, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that three years prior to last month's massive plastics fire in Indiana, a court determined that the site was a fire hazard "unsafe to people and property"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Richmond, Indiana facility fire. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Richmond, Indiana facility fire), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The WikiCup

I'm puzzled why user "Sarrail" claimed points in the WikiCup for the Kenji Yonekura ITN item? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:43, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Well, I used to be named Sarrail. Should the WikiCup scoring page for me be moved to my current name? Tails Wx 12:20, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
No, that's OK, I was just clarifying the position. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:45, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

A Barnstar For You!

The Teamwork Barnstar
I really appreciated the help with the List of United States tornadoes in 1946. Thank you so much for the contributions you make to Wikipedia! Elijahandskip (talk) 02:55, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
P.S. On a little side note, I am going to be slowly working on expanding Wikipedia's documentation of older tornadoes, including the "by year" articles (i.e. Tornadoes of 1946) and U.S. lists by year. Currently, 1946 is the oldest set of articles, so my work is cut out. You are more than welcome to help out when I start the next year (1945), which should be a little less than 1946 (hooray!). If you would like, I can also ping you when I start the 1945 article set. I'm going to take a short break from the list articles though since documenting 164 tornadoes in 11 days is rough. Anyway, I really do appreciate the help you gave! Cheers! Elijahandskip (talk) 02:55, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi, Elijahandskip! No problem! And, actually, if you don't mind, I'll start the 1945 list very soon, but only with the U.S. Weather Bureau sources. Oh, and thanks for your contributions on the 1946 list as well, and good luck on your expansion with the Tornadoes of 1946 article! Tails Wx 13:23, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
Go for it! To save you some work, you don’t need to create a the Tornadoes of 1945 page fully. User:Halls4521/Tornadoes of 1945 can be moved into mainspace as a stub. Elijahandskip (talk) 14:57, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
Ooh, nice! Thanks! Tails Wx 15:36, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:

Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, Chicago PCN02WPS, and London AirshipJungleman29.

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

Never seen Star Wars? For Williams' music alone it's worth a watch! I would recommend it, a great day to see it as well. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 14:00, 4 May 2023 (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

  • 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]

Question from BF114 (17:28, 23 May 2023)

How do I create an article? --BF114 (talk) 17:28, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi, BF114! You can create an article, though I would recommend drafting it first through WP:AFC, then submit it for review, and then if it has sufficient reliable sources and is in good shape, then it can become an article! Tails Wx 18:46, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Goodbye, Tails

I am gone.. I'm going to check this account now and I hope you always will remember me. Because I always remember you. Goodbye, Tails I'm going to check this account But I don't know when. But I will always remember you and I will always remember Blaze Wolf. Remember I am always in your heart. Farewell, Tails I hope I get to see you again. P.S Were we friends?

That's a lie. You literally vandalized my talk page saying that you hated me. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 01:11, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
I was just trying to say goodbye but I will come back in 9 months. The timer is on my profile. It's something special for you and me :) Farewell! CouchPotato0209 (talk) 20:12, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Problems

  • For a few days earlier this month, the "Add interlanguage link" item in the Tools menu did not work properly. This has now been fixed. [28]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 May. It will be on all wikis from 1 June (calendar).
  • VisualEditor will be switched to a new backend on small and medium wikis this week. Large wikis will follow in the coming weeks. This is part of the effort to move Parsoid into MediaWiki core. The change should have no noticeable effect on users, but if you experience any slow loading or other strangeness when using VisualEditor, please report it on the phabricator ticket linked here.
