Recent changes

• The report for phase 1 of the talk pages consultation 2019 has been published. Communities are invited to start phase 2 of the consultation on their wikis.

Problems

• File descriptions for files from Commons were not shown properly on other Wikimedia wikis for a few days. For example the image descriptions and license information were missing. This has now been fixed. [2][3]
• Some diffs show an error message when you try to see them. The developers are working on fixing it. It could be because of some edit comments. [4][5]

Changes later this week

Future changes

• The content translation tool on Wikipedia can use machine translations. There is a system to stop translations where the editors do not fix machine translation mistakes. This warns or stops them if they seem to just copy what the machine translation gives them. If this system is too strict or not strict enough you can tell the language team. [6]
• The Wikidata wbeditentity API endpoint will remove all aliases if the request includes an empty alias. This is how it supposed to work. It has not been working this way because of a bug. This will start on 12 June. [7]

Recent changes

• You can now write all special letters in all African Wikipedia languages. This works in the desktop version. [10]
• There is now a field called depicts on Commons. This is a way to show what is in a picture with the help of Wikidata. It is still in development. [11]
• Some tools on Toolforge may break on or after 3 June because of database changes. Maintainers should update their tools to use the new schema. [12][13]

Problems

• You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for 30 minutes on 19 June at 05:00 (UTC). This is to fix a hardware problem. [14]

Changes later this week

• Some wikis have one tab for the visual editor and one tab for a wikitext editor. Others wikis just have one tab. If your wiki has two tabs, clicking a link to create a new page has always opened a wikitext editor. It will now open the editor you used the last time you edited. [15]

Recent changes

• When you create a PDF from a page on the wiki this is now done by Proton. Before this we used Electron. It should look the same but work better. Both use Chromium. This is a different system from when you collect several articles into a book and make a PDF from them. [16][17]
• The Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standard OOUI icons. There will be additional minor fixes for positioning in the next deployment. [18]
• Bots and other scripts that do not set an identifiable User-Agent may find their requests strictly rate-limited until they identify themselves properly. [19]

Problems

• Please check if the Flagged Revisions configuration on your wiki is as you expect (or as it was a few weeks ago). If not, please report it. [20]

Changes later this week

Editor sofrendo de azulite

Olá. Lhe mando essa mensagem sabendo que você já notou o problema e deu um toque no editor em Usuário Discussão:WiFábio#Parêntesis.

Eu tinha uma subpágina de controle de qualidade para o usuário Tittles, aqui: Usuário:MisterSanderson/Observatório das PEs/Controle de Qualidade/Tittles. Pedi para deletar recentemente, mas acaba que o editor está causando problema novamente. Ele criou mais de 20.000 artigos para a Wikipédia, obviamente sem muita qualidade, pois tendo tempo finito em cada dia, ou os editores focam em quantidade, ou em qualidade.

Pois bem, agora ele não está mais focado em criar artigos sem fontes, mas está criando artigos "X é uma cidade no estado Y, na Birmânia", por exemplo. Essas dezenas de artigos, todos com o mesmo conteúdo, acabarão necessitando fusão em listas ou tabelas, obviamente, pois são todos iguais e usam a mesma referência. Me revolta saber que outro editor está causando problemas para os outros dessa forma, contribuindo para o projeto de maneira que mais atrapalha do que ajuda.

Bem, eu dei um aviso a ele aqui: Usuário Discussão:WiFábio#Cidades da Birmânia. Se você se interessar, recomendo que vigie a PDU respectiva, e peço que me ajude a resolver isto. Se ele aceitar mudar de atitude, por bem, dos males o menor, mas ainda terão de ser feitas diversas fusões para consertar o estrago que ele fez...--Mister Sanderson (discussão) 17h59min de 14 de junho de 2019 (UTC)

Criei Wikipédia:Fusão/Central de fusões/Mabein (município); Mabein para começar a resolver o problema. Vou criar outras propostas de fusão depois.--Mister Sanderson (discussão) 14h32min de 18 de junho de 2019 (UTC)

MisterSanderson, eu não entendo muito do assunto, mas estou acompanhando. Me parece que o correto é fundir mesmo.—T_ele^s«fale comigo» 14h31min de 21 de junho de 2019 (UTC)

Uma medalha!

A medalha original

Olá, Tales! Estou tentando colocar no ar uma página sobre um site de notícias, opinião, debates e movimentos culturais, que consideramos importante para que a comunidade saiba mais sobre ela. Foi um dos pioneiros na web no Brasil, fundado em 2005, e existem vários links de artigos produzidos, que foram disponibilizados em outros sites via CC. Mas lhe confesso que não sei como colocar os inks amigáveis como fontes de referencias confiáveis. Ao escrever "bodega cultural carlinhos medeiros" no Google seach aparecem textos poemas, músicas e fotografias, mas não sei editar no Wikipédia, pode ajudar? Carlinhos Medeiros (discussão) 04h17min de 16 de junho de 2019 (UTC)

Oi, Carlinhos Medeiros. Não sei se chegou a ler alguma mensagem que recebeu em sua página de discussão, mas é importante que tenha conhecimento sobre elas. Na Wikipédia, não criamos conteúdo, não colocamos material que não tenha sido - antes - publicado em fonte de boa reputação e devemos ter cuidado redobrado quando publicamos material com o qual temos alguma ligação próxima para evitar conflito de interesse. Os artigos que foram eliminados não continham fontes. Existem fontes sobre o conteúdo do seu site?—T_ele^s«fale comigo» 14h56min de 21 de junho de 2019 (UTC)

Discussão Network Organic

Symbol delete vote.svg Eliminar. Parece-me caso óbvio de WP:DIVULGAÇÃO e por isso sugiro que seja eliminada por ER#6 ou ER#A4. --Stegop (discussão) 19h12min de 5 de julho de 2019 (UTC)

Symbol delete vote.svg Eliminar. As fontes não citam diretamente a empresa. Apesar de a linguagem não ter sido muito propagandística, já que tentou apontar fatos e evitou excesso de adjetivos comuns em propagandas, parece um caso de falta de relevância mesmo, pelo que não caberia ER por spam na minha opinião; no máximo ESR por não ter muita conexão com as fontes apontadas até o momento.—Teles«fale comigo» 19h46min de 5 de julho de 2019 (UTC)

Gostaria de saber como poder ajudar a empresa Network Organic permanecer no Wikipedia. Poderia me auxiliar por favor?

Dúvida sobre certas fontes

Boa noite. Você poderia me dizer se existe alguma parte aqui da Wikipedia que pode ser usada para pedir bloqueio de algum site que não seja confiável? Eu edito e vigio alguns artigos sobre música e aparece sempre as mesmas fontes que não são confiáveis mas tem o .com.br no final. Eu queria pelo menos expor em algum lugar o motivo de eu não achar esses sites confiáveis para que pelo menos alguém faça alguma avaliação. Desde já agradeço. Silencioso (discussão) 01h28min de 1 de agosto de 2019 (UTC)

@Silencioso: Bom dia! Se o site não for confiável e estiver sendo usado indevidamente em diversas páginas, ele pode ser adicionado na lista negra de antispam. Para propor que um site seja adicionado na lista negra, pode editar esta página e um administrador avaliará o pedido. Abraço!—T_ele^s«fale comigo» 14h52min de 4 de agosto de 2019 (UTC)

Boa noite.

Gostaria de sua ajuda quanto à atualização de alguns dados da página do Grêmio Recreativo, Cultural e Social Escola de Samba Vai-Vai. O enredo já foi divulgado e o carnavalesco também. Só que, quando eu tento inserir os dados na página, não estou conseguindo.

O enredo é: Vai-Vai: de corpo e álamo. O carnavalesco é Chico Spinoza.

Desde já, muito obrigado.

Tech News

• There will be no Tech News issue next week. The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 2 September 2019.

Problems

• Some abuse filters stopped working because of a code change. Only variables for the current action will work. Variables defined inside a branch may not work outside of that branch. You can read more to see how to fix the filters.
• Only six accounts can be created from one IP address per day. Between 12 August and August 15 this was two accounts per day. This was because of a security issue. It is now six accounts per day again. [51]

Changes later this week

• Only a limited number of accounts can be created from one IP address. An IP address can be whitelisted so that it can create as many accounts as needed. This is useful at events where many new persons learn to edit. IP addresses that are whitelisted for this reason will also not show CAPTCHAs when you create accounts. This will happen on Wednesday. [52]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 August. It will be on all wikis from 22 August (calendar).

• Special:Contributions/newbies will no longer be working. This is because of performance reasons. It showed edits by new accounts. You can see this in the recent changes feed instead. [53]
