Recent changes

• The Wikisources use a tool called ProofreadPage. ProofreadPage uses OpenSeadragon which is an open source tool. The OpenSeadragon JavaScript API has been significantly re-written to support dynamically loading images. The functionality provided by the older version of the API should still work but it is no longer supported. User scripts and gadgets should migrate over to the newer version of the API. The functionality provided by the newer version of the API is documented on MediaWiki. [1][2]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 December. It will be on all wikis from 8 December (calendar).

Your recent master search

Defeedme? See the SPI case. Girth Summit _(blether) 22:39, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Noted. Thanks, Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 22:53, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	Thanks for protecting the page that itself became the topic of so much media coverage last night (screenshots and all) Cielquiparle (talk) 06:09, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

I saw the news media and their screenshots. Good thing that they didn't see the bits that were hidden as that would have been a bit more of a shock factor. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 14:27, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	Thank you for ensuring the Administrator's Newsletter remains active and engaging! I can't believe it's now been running for 6 full years thanks to your hard work to keep it up-to-date and on-time. Sam Walton (talk) 11:44, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind message. It's been good to keep it running over the last year and a bit, but also been good that others have helped (especially with adding and removing sysop rights). It has also helped me to keep up to date with things as I go looking for things to add. Happy editing, Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 14:36, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Notice of administrative ruling in effect left on my talk page...??

Hey, not sure what the message is about on my talk page, but can you explain it a bit more for me please.

I can only think it is to do with removing the bit of information regarding Wilton Sampaio at the world cup..?

Thanks L1amw90 17:58, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

@L1amw90 this message is a standard message that lets editors know about the policies surrounding biographies of living people. It was given to all the editors who were involved in adding or removing content about Wilton Sampaio's recent refereeing as this is a controversial topic.

In summary:

• It was to let you know that these rules exist
• It doesn't have any bearing on whether your edit(s) were constructive or not.
• It was given to everyone who edited content about Wilton Sampaio's recent refereeing.

Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 21:32, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Also you are free to remove that message as you want. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 21:34, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Adoption

Good night, I'm new here, can you adopt me please? Eitanbb (talk) 22:03, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure I can take on any adoptees right now. I would suggest looking at the list of people who are active on Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area/Adopters. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 13:23, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Tech News: 2022-50

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

• An A/B test has begun at 15 Wikipedias for DiscussionTools on mobile. Half of the editors on the mobile web site will have access to the Reply tool and other features. [3]
• The character = cannot be used in new usernames, to make usernames work better with templates. Existing usernames are not affected. [4]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 December. It will be on all wikis from 15 December (calendar).
• The HTML markup used by DiscussionTools to show discussion metadata below section headings will be inserted after these headings, not inside of them. This change improves the accessibility of discussion pages for screen reader software. [5]

Events

• The fourth edition of the Coolest Tool Award will happen online on Friday 16 December 2022 at 17:00 UTC! The event will be live-streamed on YouTube in the MediaWiki channel and added to Commons afterwards.

Contentious topics procedure adopted

You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions review process.

The Arbitration Committee has concluded the 2021-22 review of the contentious topics system (formerly known as discretionary sanctions), and its final decision is viewable at the revision process page. As part of the review process, the Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

The above proposals that are supported by an absolute majority of unrecused active arbitrators are hereby enacted. The drafting arbitrators (CaptainEek, L235, and Wugapodes) are directed to take the actions necessary to bring the proposals enacted by this motion into effect, including by amending the procedures at WP:AC/P and WP:AC/DS. The authority granted to the drafting arbitrators by this motion expires one month after enactment.

The Arbitration Committee thanks all those who have participated in the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process and all who have helped bring it to a successful conclusion. This motion concludes the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process.

This motion initiates a one-month implementation period for the updates to the contentious topics system. The Arbitration Committee will announce when the initial implementation of the Committee's decision has concluded and the amendments made by the drafting arbitrators in accordance with the Committee's decision take effect. Any editors interested in the implementation process are invited to assist at the implementation talk page, and editors interested in updates may subscribe to the update list.

For the Arbitration Committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:47, 14 December 2022 (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.

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2023.

Recent changes

• On a user's contributions page, you can filter it for edits with a tag like 'reverted'. Now, you can also filter for all edits that are not tagged like that. This was part of a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [6]
• A new function has been used for gadget developers to add content underneath the title on article pages. This is considered a stable API that should work across all skins. Documentation is available. [7]
• One of our test wikis is now being served from a new infrastructure powered by Kubernetes (read more). More Wikis will switch to this new infrastructure in early 2023. Please test and let us know of any issues. [8]

Problems

• Last week, all wikis had no edit access for 9 minutes. This was caused by a database problem. [9]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
• The word "Reply" is very short in some languages, such as Arabic ("ردّ"). This makes the Discussion tools button on talk pages difficult to use. An arrow icon will be added to those languages. This will only be visible to editors who have the Beta Feature turned on. [10] [11]

Future changes

• Edits can be automatically "tagged" by the system software or the Edit filter configuration system. Those tags link to a help page about the tags. Soon they will also link to Recent Changes to let you see other edits tagged this way. This was a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [12]
• The Trust & Safety tools team have shared new plans for building the Private Incident Reporting System. The system will make it easier for editors to ask for help if they are harassed or abused.
• Realtime Preview for Wikitext is coming out of beta as an enabled feature for every user of the 2010 Wikitext editor in the week of January 9, 2023. It will be available to use via the toolbar in the 2010 Wikitext editor. The feature was the 4th most popular wish of the Community Wishlist Survey 2021.

Events

• You can now register for the Wikimedia Hackathon 2023, taking place on May 19–21 in Athens, Greece. You can also apply for a scholarship until January 14th.
