Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Template:User Neuschwanstein Castle, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:36, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@Jonesey95 Yes, I had also asked Hey man im josh to delete the pages. I had made those mistakes while trying to do UBX migration. I'm sorry for that Xiphoid Vigour ||⚔|⚔|| 17:43, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

A userbox template that follows the naming rules, like {{User Neuschwanstein Castle}}, does not need to be migrated. What were you trying to do? – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:19, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

But, the migrations that I've seen transfer the non-babel boxes which are in template namespace to the userspace of either User:UBX or the personal namespace like at {{User Against userbox migration}} Xiphoid Vigour ||⚔|⚔|| 06:02, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

@Jonesey95 I'm sorry if have mistaken the migration. I'll try to be careful. Xiphoid Vigour ||⚔|⚔|| 06:04, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Userbox migration is an ancient page that should be disregarded. Wikipedia:Userboxes has the current guideline. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:56, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for making me aware. Xiphoid Vigour ||⚔|⚔|| 16:11, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Mātṛviṣṇu, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. – Garuda ^Talk! 12:39, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Garudam! Well I had moved it as the commonly used spellings don't use IAST. For example article name is Punjab not puñjāba. Only some articles which are of very low importance and historians use it more than others use IAST as name. Well, I don't think so that it's very unfamiliar to the common people. Feel free to revert if you think it should be the other way. Just remember to leave a redirect. :-) Regards, Xiphoid Vigour ||⚔|⚔|| 15:04, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@Xiphoid Vigour, exception lies; see WP:FELU. Since the sources readily use IAST spellings, so WP:AT would defacto follows them. – Garuda ^Talk! 15:08, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@Xiphoid Vigour and please don't quickclose the GA nominations with vague rationales, please familiarise yourself with GA reviewing. Best, – Garuda ^Talk! 15:11, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@Garudam The article is actually short and needs some more improving. I am familiar with the criteria. I can also help improve the article. Also see the tags. Xiphoid Vigour ||⚔|⚔|| 15:15, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Oh I see it can be short too Xiphoid Vigour ||⚔|⚔|| 15:16, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

But that's not a valid argument to fail the review, many short articles can pass GAN if it's well written and mainly spun around its own core topic without going here and there, see for example: Adur-Anahid. I'll fix the tag issues when I get to be free, in the meantime please feel free to improve it. – Garuda ^Talk! 15:59, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Xiphoid Vigour. Your signature has two template calls in it, and exceeds 256 characters in length, all of which violate WP:SIG. Please bring it into compliance at your soonest convenience. Thanks. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 19:35, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

@Tamzin Thanks for notifying me. I didn't know that my signature can't have templates and it was too long. I'm going to fix it.Xiphoid Vigour (talk · contribs) 05:57:27, 18 March 2025 (UTC) 

Reviewer rights

I'd need more information before I would do such a thing — could you show me the specific edit that you're talking about? Also, if your account's been compromised but you haven't lost access to it completely, then all you really have to do is change your password to lock out the vandal, so we wouldn't normally remove user rights on a temporary basis just because of such a thing — we would usually only do that if your access to the account had been completely lost, so that the vandal had permanent control of it now. So just update your password and it should all be fine. Bearcat (talk) 16:54, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Apologies @Bearcat, I've already removed the rights and following up with an investigation into the account. Seddon ^talk 17:01, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

How can i begin my article --Kimnberlya (talk) 11:56, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Kimnberlya! Welcome to Wikipedia! First, you shouldn't be writing about yourself, your friends, family, employer etc. as it can cause a conflict of interest. Start your page in Draft namespace. Be sure to reference your statements! After you finish writing it, submit it for review & an experienced editor will review it and accept or decline it with comments. If it's accepted, you can move it to article space.& Voila! Your article is published. You can also ask for assistance at the teahouse. Remember to read WP:My first article for the complete tutorial.

Tech News: 2025-24

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• The Trust and Safety Product team is finalizing work needed to roll out temporary accounts on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, see this update. If you have any comments or questions, write on the talk page, and join a CEE Catch Up this Tuesday.

Updates for editors

• The watchlist expiry feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The preferences also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback.

Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.

• The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias (some have already received this design change, a few will get these changes later). You can read details about the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt out of these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity").
• Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts revealed automatically during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards.
• This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of a new filter to Recent Changes, releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: Afrikaans Wikipedia, Belarusian Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, Welsh Wikipedia, Hawaiian Wikipedia, Icelandic Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia. The rollout will continue in the coming weeks to include the rest of the Wikipedias in this project.
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• AbuseFilter editors active on Meta-Wiki and large Wikipedias are kindly asked to update AbuseFilter to make it compatible with temporary accounts. A link to the instructions and the private lists of filters needing verification are available on Phabricator.
• Lua modules now have access to the name of a page's associated thumbnail image, and on some wikis to the WikiProject assessment information. This is possible using two new properties on mw.title objects, named pageImage and pageAssessments.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

The World Destubathon

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:39, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Ophyrius. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits. For more information about when rollback is appropriate, see Wikipedia:Rollback § When to use rollback.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
• Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 19:33, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

My edit to Asena (disambiguation)

I can't see how this edit added any incorrect information. The only information added was changing the description of Asena (name) from female given name to a Turkish feminine given name, which is literally mentioned in the first sentence of that article. 2A00:807:C9:F9F1:5024:CE1E:B8F7:8534 (talk) 07:01, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

My bad. I had reverted it as the I believe information in first section, that you removed was necessary. I forgot to re-add the info of second. Thanks for notifying me. :-) Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs^⚔ 07:18, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

I don't think my changes to the first section removed any necessary information. I removed the is the name of from Asena, is the name of a she-wolf associated with a Göktürk ethnogenic myth. as redundant because it didn't actually add any information that wasn't already obvious (the name of the article is the name of the wolf). I removed the wikilink to Göktürk and the period at the end of the sentence because of MOS:DABONE and MOS:DABPERIOD. 2A00:807:C9:F9F1:5024:CE1E:B8F7:8534 (talk) 07:56, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Oh, I never noticed MOS:DABONE, when I was a newcomer. But, I'm a bit curious that how you know so many policies. Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs^⚔ 08:30, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

I've been occasionally editing for a while, so I knew there was a policy about how to do disambiguation pages and looked it up while editing the article, but I didn't know the specific ones until then. Thanks for restoring my revision! :) 2A00:807:C9:F9F1:5024:CE1E:B8F7:8534 (talk) 15:00, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-26

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of a new filter to Recent Changes, releasing it to the third and last batch of Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Latin Wikipedia, Macedonian Wikipedia, Malayalam Wikipedia, Marathi Wikipedia, Norwegian Nynorsk Wikipedia, Punjabi Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, Telugu Wikipedia, Tagalog Wikipedia. The rollout will continue in the coming weeks to include the rest of the Wikipedias in this project.

Updates for editors

• Last week, temporary accounts were rolled out on Czech, Korean, and Turkish Wikipedias. This and next week, deployments on larger Wikipedias will follow. Share your thoughts about the project.
• Later this week, the Editing team will release Multi Check to all Wikipedias (except English Wikipedia). This feature shows multiple Reference checks within the editing experience. This encourages users to add citations when they add multiple new paragraphs to a Wikipedia article. This feature was previously available as an A/B test. The test shows that users who are shown multiple checks are 1.3 times more likely to add a reference to their edit, and their edit is less likely to be reverted (-34.7%).
• A few pages need to be renamed due to software updates and to match more recent Unicode standards. All of these changes are related to title-casing changes. Approximately 71 pages and 3 files will be renamed, across 15 wikis; the complete list is in the task. The developers will rename these pages next week, and they will fix redirects and embedded file links a few minutes later via a system settings update.
• View all 24 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug was fixed that had caused pages to scroll upwards when text near the top was selected.

Updates for technical contributors

• Editors can now use Lua modules to filter and transform tabular data for use with Extension:Chart. This can be used for things like selecting a subset of rows or columns from the source data, converting between units, statistical processing, and many other useful transformations. Information on how to use transforms is available.
• The all_links variable in AbuseFilter is now renamed to new_links for consistency with other variables. Old usages will still continue to work.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

• The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: the recent updates for the "Add a Link" Task, two new Newcomer Engagement Features, and updates to Community Configuration.

Sackiii

I am confused by this edit where you pinged me. Can you provide some clarity please? CNMall41 (talk) 16:20, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I later reverted it as it wouldn't make sense to give a reply after 3 months. I actually wanted to day that I was familiar with the policies as I had actually clean started, but it doesn't make any point to reply now. Sorry :-| OPHYRIUS ^⚔ 17:41, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

So you were Sackiii and then started fresh under a new account?--CNMall41 (talk) 22:34, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

No, I was someone else. I mean I'm User:Xiphoid Vigour & wasn't a sock as it was a clean start account, so I knew about the policies. I'm using this account as Xiphoid Vigour account was compromised. OPHYRIUS ^⚔ 04:30, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

I am confused as to why you commented on the talk page of Sackiii. What caused you to go to that page and comment?--CNMall41 (talk) 23:05, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

It's because I had gone to the SPI page to report a sock (turned out to be already reported). I noticed Sackiii & just visited to see if there were any updates & saw your comment that looked like if you were suspicious of me. Let's just leave it for now. OPHYRIUS ^⚔ 05:33, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

The extension makes it easier to organize and participate in collaborative activities, like edit-a-thons and WikiProjects, on the wikis. The extension has three features: Event Registration, Collaboration List, and Invitation List. To request the extension for your wiki, visit the Deployment information page.

Updates for editors

• AbuseFilter maintainers can now match against IP reputation data in AbuseFilters. IP reputation data is information about the proxies and VPNs associated with the user's IP address. This data is not shown publicly and is not generated for actions performed by registered accounts.
• Hidden content that is within collapsible parts of wikipages will now be revealed when someone searches the page using the web browser's "Find in page" function (Ctrl+F or ⌘F) in supporting browsers.
• A new feature, called Favourite Templates, will be deployed later this week on all projects (except English Wikipedia, which will receive the feature next week), following a piloting phase on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and Italian and English Wikisource. The feature will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, by allowing users to put templates on a special "favourite list". The feature works with both the visual editor and the wikitext editor. The feature is a community wishlist focus area.
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug was fixed that had caused some Notifications to be sent multiple times.

how to create new wikipedia page --Pawan SB (talk) 15:11, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Pawan SB! Welcome to Wikipedia! If you're writing an article, you shouldn't be writing about yourself, your friends, family, employer etc. as it can cause a conflict of interest. Start your page in Draft namespace. Be sure to reference your statements! After you finish writing it, submit it for review & an experienced editor will review it and accept or decline it with comments. You can also ask for assistance at the teahouse. See WP:My first article for the complete tutorial. OPHYRIUS ^⚔ 12:11, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-28

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• Temporary accounts have been rolled out on 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias, including German, Japanese, French, and Chinese. Now, about 1/3 of all logged-out activity across wikis is coming from temporary accounts. Users involved in patrolling may be interested in two new documentation pages: Access to IP, explaining everything related to access to temporary account IP addresses, and Repository with a list of new gadgets and user scripts.

Updates for editors

• Anyone can play an experimental new game, WikiRun, that lets you race through Wikipedia by clicking from one article to another, aiming to reach a target page in as few steps and in as little time as possible. The project's goal is to explore new ways of engaging readers. Try playing the game and let the team know what you think on the talk page.
• Users of the Wikipedia Android app in some languages can now play the new trivia game. Which came first? is a simple history game where you guess which of two events happened earlier on today's date. It was previously available as an A/B test. It is now available to all users in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, and Chinese. The goal of the feature is to help engage with new generations of readers.
• Users of the iOS Wikipedia App in some languages may see a new tabbed browsing feature that enables you to open multiple tabs while reading. This feature makes it easier to explore related topics and switch between articles. The A/B test is currently running in Arabic, English, and Japanese in selected regions. More details are available on the Tabbed Browsing project page.
• Bureaucrats on Wikimedia wikis can now use Special:VerifyOATHForUser to check if users have enabled two-factor authentication.
• A new feature related to Template Recall and Discovery will be deployed later this week to all Wikimedia projects: a template category browser will be introduced to assist users in finding templates to put in their “favourite” list. The browser will allow users to browse a list of templates which have been organised into a given category tree. The feature has been requested by the community through the Community Wishlist.
• It is now possible to access watchlist preferences from the watchlist page. Also the redundant button to edit the watchlist has been removed.
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• As part of MediaWiki 1.44 there is now a unified built-in Notifications system that makes it easier for developers to send, manage, and customize notifications. Check out the updated documentation at Manual:Notifications, information about migration in T388663 and details on deprecated hooks in T389624.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• WikidataCon 2025, the conference dedicated to Wikidata is now open for session proposals and for registration. This year's event will be held online from October 31 – November 02 and will explore on the theme of "Connecting People through Linked Open Data".

Hi, ive created a draft just as beginning to an article but its very obscure and i cant read greek or latin sources.

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Candidates.

Here is the schedule:

• July 9–15 - Call for candidates
• July 18–22 - Discussion phase
• July 23–29 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

• The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
• Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
• The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
• The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
• Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

You're receiving this message because you signed up for the mailing list. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the list.

Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

The discussion phase of the July 2025 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• July 18–22 - Discussion phase (we are here)
• July 23–29 - SecurePoll voting phase
• July 30–c. Aug 3 - Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Discussion phase.

On July 23, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's totals during the election. You must be extended confirmed to vote.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last approximately four days, or perhaps a little longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (you may want to watchlist this page) and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and must also have received a minimum of 20 support votes. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

You're receiving this message because you signed up for the mailing list. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the list.

Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for approximately four days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Tech News: 2025-31

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• The Community Tech team will be focusing on wishes related to Watchlists and Recent Changes pages, over the next few months. They are looking for feedback. Please read the latest update, and if you have ideas, please submit a wish on the topic.

Updates for editors

• The Wikimedia Commons community has decided to block cross-wiki uploads to Wikimedia Commons, for all users without autoconfirmed rights on that wiki, starting on August 16. This is because of widespread problems related to files that are uploaded by newcomers. Users who are affected by this will get an error message with a link to the less restrictive UploadWizard on Commons. Please help translating the message or give feedback on the message text. Please also update your local help pages to explain this restriction.
• On wikis with temporary accounts enabled and Meta-Wiki, administrators may now set up a footer for the Special:Contributions pages of temporary accounts, similar to those which can be shown on IP and user-account pages. They may do it by creating the page named MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-temp.
• View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Temporary account IP viewer granted

Hello, Ophyrius. Per your request, your account has been granted "checkuser-temporary-account". You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Access should not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with an IP address or CIDR range.

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. Happy editing! Sohom (talk) 04:21, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

@ClaudineChionh Thanks! Ophyrius (he/him
T • C • G) 09:25, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

You're welcome. Actually I think the topicon should be moved to Temporary account IP viewer topicon (singular) to match the other User top icon usergroup templates. Is that OK with you? ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · email · global) 09:29, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi, @ClaudineChionh! I intentionally kept it plural as the user right's name(see here) is actually plural. Ophyrius (he/him
T • C • G) 09:39, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

It looks like temporary-account-viewer to me. The user right/permission is singular, the user group is plural. And the userbox is singular. But maybe I'm just being nitpicky. ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · email · global) 09:46, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-32

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

• Editors can now enable the User Info card. This feature adds an icon next to usernames on history pages and similar user-contribution log pages. When you tap or click on the icon, it displays data related to that user account such as the number of edits, reverted edits, blocks, and more. It's part of a broader project to make it easier for moderators to evaluate account trustworthiness. The feature can be enabled in your global preferences, and later this week it will be available in local preferences.
• Everybody is invited to share comments on Collaborative Contributions, a project recently launched by the Connection team. The project aims to create a new way to display the impact of collaborative editing activities (such as edit-a-thons, backlog drives, and WikiProjects) on the wikis. Post your comments on the project talk page.
• Administrators can now define the default block duration for temporary accounts. To do that, they need to create a page named MediaWiki:Ipb-default-expiry-temporary-account and use a value defined in MediaWiki:Ipboptions. This allows administrators to easily block temporary accounts for 90 days, which is functionally equivalent to an indefinite block. The advantage of this solution is that it does not clutter Special:BlockList. More documentation is available.
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• Gadgets can now include .vue files. This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using Vue.js, in particular using Codex, the official design system of Wikimedia. Codex icons can be loaded through the gadget definition. The documentation has examples. For user scripts that use Vue.js, an API module now exists to load Codex icons.
• Module developers can now use a Lua interface to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation on Meta-Wiki. This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation. Module developers and translators are invited to watch the demo video, read more about translatable modules to understand how it works, refer to Meta-Wiki's Module:User Wikimedia project for example usage, and share their feedback on how well it addresses the challenges in their workflow. The interface still has some performance issues, so it should not be used in widely used modules yet.
• Developers of external tools that connect to Wikimedia pages must set a user-agent that complies with the user-agent policy. This policy will start to be more strongly enforced in August because of external crawlers that are overusing Wikimedia's resources. Tools that are hosted on Wikimedia's Toolforge or Cloud VPS will not be affected by this for now, but should still set a user-agent. More technical details are available, and related questions are welcome in that task.
• Parsoid Read Views is going to be rolling out to some smaller Wikipedias over the next few weeks, following the successful transition of Wikivoyages and Wiktionaries to Parsoid Read Views. For more information, see the Parsoid/Parser Unification project page.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• Wikimania 2025 will run from August 6–9. The program is available for you to plan which sessions you want to attend. Most sessions will be live-streamed, with exceptions for those that show the "no camera" icon. If you are joining online to watch live-streams and use the interactive features, please register for a free virtual ticket. For example, you may be interested in technical sessions such as:
  • Wikimedia’s knowledge infrastructure in a changing internet: Establishing sustainable pathways for content reuse
  • Wikifunctions is coming soon to a wiki near you!
  • Shaping the Future of Wikipedia’s Reader Experience
  • Making Wikipedia More Readable: What Comes Next

Question from Peterleoncollins (23:46, 3 August 2025)

Apologies If I have this wrong. I am an experienced technical writing team leader and copyeditor (of 88 years of age) attempting to learn Wiki editing. The editing part is okay but learning my way around the links is slow. Okay, that's the background. I've picked up "Diagnostic Enterprise Method" and read it. It has clearly (from the Talk page) been built as a class exercise. I have experience in industrial quality control and related methods and have presented to the NZ Operations Research Society thereupon. My assessment: this article should be removed. The term: Diagnostic Enterprise Method is not in common use; indeed, it may never have been in use. The article is largely (perhaps completely) lifted from the Frederick Winslow Taylor page. Perhaps I should lay that opinion of mine into the 'issues' section of the article - but I don't know how to do that, either. Help!!! Peter. Peterleoncollins (talk) 20:25, 3 August 2025 (UTC) --Peterleoncollins (talk) 23:46, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Hey, Peterleoncollins! Let me see the article. You can take a look at WP:AFD for what do with articles that don't meet policies. Ophyrius (he/him
T • C • G) 13:01, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

The page I selected for this 'beginner-edit' is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_Enterprise_Method which in my view is merely a very brief actual cut & paste copy of key points in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Winslow_Taylor. So, instead of editing it, I think I should PROD it, because I find it to be mere plagiarism from another Wiki page, under a different name, effectively. (You see, I am slowly learning). Question(s):(a) Do you agree with my assessment? (b) And if so, is PROD the most appropriate step? Thank you for your patient guidance. Peter Peterleoncollins (talk) 20:16, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

Hey, Peterleoncollins. I don't think PROD would be right. The right place for this would be AFD as the deletion would be a bit controversial. Ophyrius (he/him

Guideline and policy news

• Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, G15, has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a large language model (LLM) without human review.
• Following a request for comment, there is a new policy outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.

Technical news

• Administrators can now restrict the "Add a Link" feature to newcomers. The "Add a Link" Structured Task helps new account holders get started with editing. Administrators can configure this setting in the Community Configuration page.

Arbitration

• The arbitration case Indian military history has been closed.
  • South Asia (WP:CT/SA) is designated a contentious topic. The topic area is specifically defined as All pages related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups.
  • The contentious topic designations for Sri Lanka (SL) and India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan (IPA) are folded into this new contentious topic.
  • The community-authorized general sanctions regarding South Asian social groups (GS/CASTE) are rescinded and folded into this new contentious topic.
• The arbitration case Article titles and capitalisation 2 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 31 July.
• The arbitration case Transgender healthcare and people has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 11 August.

Miscellaneous

• Wikimania 2025 is happening in Nairobi, Kenya, and online from August 6 to August 9. This year marks 20 years of Wikimania. Interested users can join the online event. Registration for the virtual event is free and will remain open throughout Wikimania. You can register here now.

New page reviewer granted

Hi Ophyrius, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:57, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-33

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

• The WikiEditor toolbar now includes its keyboard shortcuts in the tooltips for its buttons. This will help to improve the discoverability of this feature.
• The Product and Technology Advisory Council published a set of proposed experiments the Wikimedia Foundation can try to improve communication with community. Feedback on the proposals are welcomed until August 22 on this talk page.
• The search bar on the Minerva skin (mobile) has been updated to use the same type-ahead search component that is used on the Vector 2022 skin. There are no changes in search functionality but there are minor visual changes. Specifically, the close-search button has been changed from an "X" to a back arrow. This helps to distinguish it from the other "X" button that is used to clear any text.
• Editors on some wikis will see a new toggle for "Group results by page" on watchlist, related changes, and recent changes pages. This is an A/B experiment that is planned to start on August 11, and will run for 3–6 weeks on the Bengali, Chinese, Czech, French, Greek, Portuguese, and Urdu Wikipedias. The experiment will examine how making this feature more discoverable might affect editors' ability to find the edits they are looking for.
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• The multiwiki datasets of Unicode data have been moved to Category:Unicode Module Datasets on Wikimedia Commons, to follow the idea of "One common data source, multiple local wikis". Most wikis have been updated to use the Commons version. You can ask questions at the talkpage.
• Lua code can add warnings when something is wrong, by using the mw.addWarning() function. It is now possible to add more than one warning, instead of new warnings replacing old ones. If you maintain a Lua module that used warnings, you should check it still works as expected.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

RfC close

RfC is supposed to run for at least 30 days. The RfC you closed here was only 15 days old. You must undo your RfC close. Orientls (talk) 16:57, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Orientls! I had closed it as the consensus had been reached. Per policy an RFC can be closed early if a consensus has been reached. Also,the closure was actually requested at Wikipedia:Closure_requests and many users didn't object. But, if you think it hadn't reached consensus, feel free to revert it. Thanks! Ophyrius (he/him
T • C • G) 17:22, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

See WP:RFC. It specifically says that RfC sticks for at least 30 days. Unless you are saying that all of the users agreed over a single choice, then only you can say that the consensus was already reached but that was not the case. Yes a lot of problematic requests are placed on WP:ANRFC and they don't become legitimate only because they have been placed there. I don't understand why are you saying that nobody disputed it because WP:ANRFC is not the right place for disputing the closures. I am again asking you to revert your RfC close yourself, because your own revert will certainly prevent the unnecessary dispute over closure and save a lot of time. Thanks Orientls (talk) 17:34, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

The policy explicitly says "There is no required minimum or maximum duration". There have been zero new comments in the discussion for two weeks (July 21), and while there is no unanimous consensus, that's also not a requirement and it's very much in WP:SNOW territory at this point. Asamboi (talk) 05:15, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Bump. 30 days have now passed and Legobot has removed the tag, so can you close this again? Asamboi (talk) 01:25, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

@Asamboi Hey, I don't want to be the closer now. It's also the reason, why Ididn't reply to the comment above. You can request it again at Wikipedia:Closure requests Ophyrius (he/him

Question from M1Secret (14:18, 15 August 2025)

Greetings, Trying to create a page to help highlight the talent of a Cuban local struggling artist. He lost family and is going through a dark period- So I am trying to help him focus on his art and showcasing his talent. He has extensive museum presentations and awards and many newspaper articles and press. But I do not want it to be commercial- He will be travelling to Europe for a visit, and I would appreaciate any guidance or tips to help creat a page for him. --M1Secret (talk) 14:18, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi, M1Secret! Welcome to Wikipedia! To write an article, you can follow the tutorial here. Please ensure that the subject you're writing about is notable & has media coverage. Happy editing! Ophyrius (he/him
