Discussion

I have begun a discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket about the name of the T20 WC. Feel free to participate! Pharaoh496 (talk) 09:04, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice! Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 10:01, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Template:2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Group A

We should to restore the earlier format atleast until the end of the tournament, what was the reason for removal of runs scored, overs bowled and such attributes from the template? Cric editor (talk) 04:24, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

In the earlier format. the NRR is calculated each time when loading the page, which takes up memory to execute; specially for pages like 2024 T20WC which has 6 points tables. But, we could keep the earlier format until the end of the Group stage. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 04:35, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes I guess we can settle with that till group stage, like it's done for all other tournaments. Cric editor (talk) 04:37, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Also in the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup qualification, There are 5 "Final standings (Sub-regional qualifier)" and 5 "Final standings (Regional final)"; It's better to avoid similar headings in a same page as it would result in the anchors being misdirected. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 04:39, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Also, we don't need the final standings here; only points table is enough. ( see 2023 Cricket World Cup qualification) Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 05:41, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Recent changes

• The software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering.
• The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). 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 Vector-2022. The developers are still 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.
• The HTML markup used for citations by Parsoid changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the mw-reference-text class, Parsoid now also adds the reference-text class for better compatibility with the legacy parser. More details are available.

Problems

• There was a bug with the Content Translation interface that caused the tools menus to appear in the wrong location. This has now been fixed.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 June. It will be on all wikis from 13 June (calendar).
• The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: Parsoid will now generate a <span class="mw-cite-backlink"> wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. More details are available.
• On multilingual wikis that use the <translate> system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community requests it.

Incorrect revert done by Vestrian24Bio

@Vestrian24Bio : About your revert ---> "Reverting edit(s) by IndoPakAfgh (talk) to rev. 1229017290 by Pkr206: Non-constructive edit (UV 0.1.5)". on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3A2024_ICC_Men%27s_T20_World_Cup_Group_C&oldid=prev&diff=1229033107

How my edit was a "Non-constructive edit"?

as per /2024_ICC_Men%27s_T20_World_Cup#Super_8, Afghanistan has already qualified to Super 8, which means other three teams are eliminated.

Either you have been Non-constructive or Super 8 section is incorrect. IndoPakAfgh (talk) 14:48, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Q, E is placed only when the qualification isn't complete for the group with the table text saying "Advance to Super 8". But, now that the Qualification in Group C is over it's not needed anymore; instead the table text says: "Advanced to Super 8" stating that both West Indies and Afghanistan have qualified for Super 8 and there's no need for the Q, E text anymore. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 14:53, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Yeah but Afghanistan is still listed as "Q", and the eliminated teams are listed as "E". Your revert makes it inconsistent @Vestrian24Bio.

As the group stages are still ongoing, we should stick to consistency between the groups, and use Q/E everywhere. It's confusing to use them for some groups and skip them for others.

Also, this should be discussed in the talk page not on user talk. Soni (talk) 16:34, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

I agree this should be discussed in the talk page; I just continued what started by @IndoPakAfgh here. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Unfounded justification for reverting edit

If you didn't like the edit, it doesn't mean it's not constructive. I just resized the poster image in ""Please Please Please"" which is unnecessarily large in the article. How can this be a non-constructive edit? Should have put "I prefer the large image" in the reason for reverting. Damitinha (talk) 07:10, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Thumbnails aren't supposed to have a size limit per MOS, because thumb file display size is user preferred. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 07:12, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

See MOS:IMGSIZE Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 07:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

And why is doing something to improve the layout and visualization of the article a non-constructive edit? From what I saw here on your talk page you use the term "non-constructive editing" incorrectly Damitinha (talk) 07:14, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Read MOS:IMGSIZE Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 07:15, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

I may have been hasty, but at least justify correctly when reverting an edit, simply using "non-constructive edit" does not justify or explain anything. Damitinha (talk) 07:23, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry about that; I usually leave a talk page message after reverting, missed this time. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 07:31, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Recent changes

• People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see Edit check for more details.
• The new Community Configuration extension is available on Test Wikipedia. This extension allows communities to customize specific features to meet their local needs. Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other Community Configuration use cases in the future.
• The dark mode beta feature is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the project talk page.

Problems

• Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center.
• Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar).
• Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable.
• Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software.

Recent changes

• Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions on the project talkpage.
• The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode.

Problems

• You can copy permanent links to talk page comments by clicking on a comment's timestamp. This feature did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 June. It will be on all wikis from 27 June (calendar).
• Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this feature on Diff or on Mediawiki.org.

Songs

What was the purpose of these articles: Samgrame (song) and Lokiverse (song). I have redirected them because the sourcing was very poor and the sourcing in the article did not mention it. Samgrame sounds cool wish there was a full version. DareshMohan (talk) 08:09, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
