TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition[edit]

Hello, DreamRimmer,

You shouldn't have tagged this page for speedy deletion after it was moved and I shouldn't have deleted it as it has resulted in dozens of broken redirects. See Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion#Deleted redirects to TM103: Hustlerz Ambition for some of the consequences, just a few of them that editors have asked to be restored. Please never tag a page for deletion immediately after an article page move as it takes a few hours for Wikipedia's bots to change redirects to point to the new article title. I think we both made a mistake here, you for tagging the old page for deletion and me for not asking more question before deleting it. Let's not do this again. Liz Read! Talk! 02:57, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz, yes, you are right. Please don't blame yourself; this was solely my mistake. I knew there were some redirects that needed to be retargeted to the new title, but I was on mobile at the time, so I planned to fix them later on the computer. However, in the meantime, they got deleted. But don't worry, I'll be more careful next time, and I apologies for any wasted time and resources here. – DreamRimmer (talk) 03:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TFA[edit]

story · music · places

Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:08, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doom (2016 video game) - today's TFA is again by Vami - thank you for adding to the soprano deletion discussion, - I learned today that her opera company's biography is "promotional", and using it at all (regardless for what) is not ethical - really? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for improving articles in May! - Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:28, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for offering to do the dirty admin work. I'd like to understand the nature of the conflict you mention, but with links to a deleted article, it's hard to verify. I wonder if diffs to the situation before the deletion would work. - Good luck! - Nice music on my talk today, on a friend's birthday whose perspective on a concert I sang in is pictured. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:38, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Gerda. I think any admin or any crat could provide a copy of the content somewhere. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:12, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Pogh123 (13:17, 12 May 2024)[edit]

Hello DreamWimmer , I can tell that you are a very experienced Wikipedia editor+mentor and that you are pleased to guide me.Is there a strategy you use?If so,what is it?

Thanks for your help,

From Pogh123 --Pogh123 (talk) 13:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pogh123, Sorry for the delayed response. I don't rely on any specific strategy; instead, I've taken the time to read through all the policies and guidelines. Whenever I've had doubts, I've reached out to other experienced individuals for advice. You are welcome to do the same. You can find all the relevant links here. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-20[edit]

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

  • On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word __EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__ to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [1]
  • If you use the user-preference "Show preview without reloading the page", then the template-page feature "Preview page with this template (what's this?)" will now also work without reloading the page. [2]
  • Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the alt= attribute. This is identical in usage to the alt= attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [3]
  • The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [4]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (calendar). [5][6]
  • The Special:Search results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [7]

Future changes

  • In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [8]
  • Two columns of the pagelinks database table (pl_namespace and pl_title) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the new linktarget table instead (lt_namespace and lt_title). In your existing SQL queries:
    1. Replace JOIN pagelinks with JOIN linktarget and pl_ with lt_ in the ON statement
    2. Below that add JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id

COI warning and UAA listing[edit]

Please don't do both with little time in between. From the UAA instructions: Discuss less-serious violations with the user on their talk page so that they can rename or abandon their account in good faith. Templates such as {{Uw-username}} or {{Uw-coi-username}} may be used. If, after discussion with a user, the problem still seems unresolved, a username request for comment may be in order. (bold italics mine.) - UtherSRG (talk) 13:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@UtherSRG, COI warning was sent when I reverted their edit and I reported it because it was an obvious violation of the username policy. I understand that we should only do one thing at a time—either report it or discuss it with the user. However, the COI warning message doesn't provide instructions about usernames. Also, I have seen admins processing these types of reports. – DreamRimmer (talk) 13:58, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest working to improve the information provided to the user on the COI warning (or providing the additional information yourself), then, so that you don't feel the need to immediately report to UAA. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:06, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I'll do that. Thanks for the message. Take care! – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:09, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-21[edit]

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

  • The Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [11]
  • New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [12][13]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (calendar). [14][15]
  • The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.

Help[edit]

Hi! Hope you are doing well. Today morning I moved the article I created - Boomerang (2024 Bengali film) from draftspace to mainspace. But after that a warning was displayed on top of the article which I roughly remember. It said something like "The draft has exceeded 20,157 bytes. If you don't want to lose the edit history of the draft, then merge the edit history of the draft with the main article. An administrator should do this job. If you are an non-administrator, then put this {{ }} (I don't remember what was there) on top of the page."

But I thought of closing the window and then put the {{ }} on top of the page. But later when I again opened the article, there was no warning. It had disappeared.

So, can you please see the matter and take the necessary steps so that the article and the history remains.

Thanks

BhikhariInformer (talk) 04:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No need to worry. There were AfC submission templates which I have removed. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:14, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot.

Tech News: 2024-22[edit]

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

  • Several bugs related to the latest updates to the UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons have been fixed. For more information, see T365107 and T365119.
  • In March 2024 a new addPortlet API was added to allow gadgets to create new portlets (menus) in the skin. In certain skins this can be used to create dropdowns. Gadget developers are invited to try it and give feedback.
  • Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration. Interface editors should check the rendering on mobile devices for aspects related to the classes: .collapsible, .multicol, .reflist, .coordinates, .topicon. Further details are available on replacement CSS if it is needed.

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 May. It will be on all wikis from 30 May (calendar). [16][17]
  • When you visit a wiki where you don't yet have a local account, local rules such as edit filters can sometimes prevent your account from being created. Starting this week, MediaWiki takes your global rights into account when evaluating whether you can override such local rules. [18]
