Scope of administrative action review

Just checking in to see if you had any plans on proceeding, or thoughts on how to proceed. I'm having trouble seeing a path forward, since everyone doesn't seem to want to engage at the same time, and some editors want to see progress without their involvement, and I understand the reasons why for both of these. But I don't know how to achieve progress if the interested parties aren't working together to find common ground. It's too hard to figure out in the dark. isaacl (talk) 03:40, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Isaacl, thanks for stopping by. The last time I commented there I figured I would wait a couple of days (it was a Saturday, I think) to see what the people who mostly edit during the workweek had to say, then in the meantime I got pretty slammed IRL and haven’t been here much. I’ll try to peek in and get back up speed on the progress (if any) when things settle down at home a bit. 28bytes (talk) 06:22, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Tech News: 2022-08

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

  • Special:Nuke will now provide the standard deletion reasons (editable at MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown) to use when mass-deleting pages. This was a request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. [1]
  • At Wikipedias, all new accounts now get the Growth features by default when creating an account. Communities are encouraged to update their help resources. Previously, only 80% of new accounts would get the Growth features. A few Wikipedias remain unaffected by this change. [2]
  • You can now prevent specific images that are used in a page from appearing in other locations, such as within PagePreviews or Search results. This is done with the markup class=notpageimage. For example, [[File:Example.png|class=notpageimage]]. [3]
  • There has been a change to the HTML of Special:Contributions, Special:MergeHistory, and History pages, to support the grouping of changes by date in the mobile skin. While unlikely, this may affect gadgets and user scripts. A list of all the HTML changes is on Phabricator.

Events

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 February. It will be on all wikis from 24 February (calendar).

Future changes

  • The software to play videos and audio files on pages will change soon on all wikis. The old player will be removed. Some audio players will become wider after this change. The new player has been a beta feature for over four years. [4][5]
  • Toolforge's underlying operating system is being updated. If you maintain any tools there, there are two options for migrating your tools into the new system. There are details, deadlines, and instructions on Wikitech. [6]
  • Administrators will soon have the option to delete/undelete the associated "talk" page when they are deleting a given page. An API endpoint with this option will also be available. This was a request from the 2021 Wishlist Survey.

Recent changes

  • When searching for edits by change tags, e.g. in page history or user contributions, there is now a dropdown list of possible tags. This was a request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. [7]
  • Mentors using the Growth Mentor dashboard will now see newcomers assigned to them who have made at least one edit, up to 200 edits. Previously, all newcomers assigned to the mentor were visible on the dashboard, even ones without any edit or ones who made hundred of edits. Mentors can still change these values using the filters on their dashboard. Also, the last choice of filters will now be saved. [8][9]
  • The user group oversight was renamed suppress. This is for technical reasons. You may need to update any local references to the old name, e.g. gadgets, links to Special:Listusers, or uses of NUMBERINGROUP.

Problems

  • The recent change to the HTML of tracking changes pages caused some problems for screenreaders. This is being fixed. [10]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 March. It will be on all wikis from 3 March (calendar).

Future changes

  • Working with templates will become easier. Several improvements are planned for March 9 on most wikis and on March 16 on English Wikipedia. The improvements include: Bracket matching, syntax highlighting colors, finding and inserting templates, and related visual editor features.
  • If you are a template developer or an interface administrator, and you are intentionally overriding or using the default CSS styles of user feedback boxes (the classes: successbox, messagebox, errorbox, warningbox), please note that these classes and associated CSS will soon be removed from MediaWiki core. This is to prevent problems when the same class-names are also used on a wiki. Please let us know by commenting at phab:T300314 if you think you might be affected.

Hiding and Deleting Edits

I wanted to ask if you can hide (delete if possible) my edits on the napalm and F.R.A.S. (weapon) page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napalm and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F.R.A.S._(weapon) Basquyati (talk) 00:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Basquyati. I might be able to help. Why do you want those edits deleted or hidden? 28bytes (talk) 01:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
First, it describes, in a very detailed way, unnecessary information. I don't have a native level of English, so much of the text has grammatical errors. Due to the context between Ukraine and Russia, I don't see those editions with good eyes! If possible, the best thing to do is to delete all my edits. Besides, it's not relevant! Basquyati (talk) 02:15, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
And there is the issue that takes up a lot of space in the edit history. Basquyati (talk) 02:19, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Analyzing the information of the consulted articles. Much of it seems biased, and I ended up copying entire texts from articles that I found to be copyrighted and reclaimed. Basquyati (talk) 03:50, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Tamzin

RE the crat chat. Consider if instead she'd said "desyssop any Biden supporter". The howls would be never ending and people wouldn't think of promoting her. This is because of the blatant left wing bias wiki has. Anyone even remotely thinking of using their tools in such a bigoted manner should in no way be admin. And promoting such a person, left or right wing, is downright sickening. Seven Pandas (talk) 20:33, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

I am glad that you oppose bigotry. I think most of the participants in that RfA would agree with you that the “desysop Trump supporters” comment was troubling. However, most of the participants also feel that the positive aspects of the candidate outweighed the negative, and ultimately as bureaucrats we have to follow the consensus of those participants as best as we can determine it. 28bytes (talk) 20:53, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
I vehemently disagree. She's willing to use her tools to foment her political agenda. If that's not tool abuse I don't know what is. If she gets the tools, I'm leaving wiki for good, and that's not a threat, that's a guarantee. One day she'll do something to make you all regret this. Seven Pandas (talk) 21:26, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
@Tamzin: only fair I notify her of this. Seven Pandas (talk) 21:27, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
I’ve redacted part of your comment. You cannot go around calling editors bigots because they disagree with you politically. I’m sorry if you feel so uncomfortable about there being an admin whose politics strongly differs from yours that you wish to leave, but there are of course other outlets available if you prefer editing in an environment more closely aligned to your perspective. 28bytes (talk) 21:45, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
@Seven Pandas: She's willing to use her tools to foment her political agenda. Please provide evidence for that or strike it. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 21:56, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
She's willing to use her tools to foment her political agenda This is a completely baseless accusation. I hate to sound like a broken record, and stick my nose into various pages saying the same thing, but it is untrue and needs pushback wherever it pops up. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:57, 2 May 2022 (UTC) (p.s. sorry, didn't realize Tamzin was back, and the new reply thingy doesn't give edit conflict notices)
I don't need to she provided the proof herself. And you assumed I'm a Trumper but I'm vehemently not. You all should not have done that. It is what she herself said that I object to.

I don't think anybody called you a Trumper on this page, or even implied that you were one. I did suggest that if you found the editing environment here uncomfortable for political reasons (which is, I would think, a reasonable interpretation of your statement that you find the site to have "blatant left wing bias") then there are other options for you. I hope you are able to find an environment without the bias you feel exists here. 28bytes (talk) 22:15, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your thanks

Bishzilla was delighted to be thanked for her superclerking for once; generally she gets told off, not least by me.[41][42] But we all need encouragement, I guess! Bishonen | tålk 22:33, 2 May 2022 (UTC).

Tonight over dinner I got to watch a bunny trespass in my back yard and start munching on dandelion stalks, and it was every bit as relaxing to watch as a favorite TV show. I wouldn't have dreamed of shooing the bunny away any more than I would shooing a 'zilla away from the Cratz-Only Zone for chowing down on verbal dandelions. 28bytes (talk) 00:34, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

BISHZILLA! Can you ever behave?? Bishonen | tålk 15:43, 3 May 2022 (UTC).
[Backpedals hastily:] Not eats, pockets! Pockets the bunny! Pet, not snack! bishzilla ROARR!! pocket 15:45, 3 May 2022 (UTC).
