My Stupid Heart

Hello, there! I've read about the text you sent in my talk page. But here are some things that I need to say to you. I'm sorry if I mess up because English is not my mother language --Androptrnt (talk) 05:19, 29 December 2016 (UTC)androptrnt (talk)
The "My Stupid Heart" song was submitted to the BMI repertoire in 2015, far before Tini and Confident was released, it said that the performer was Demi Lovato, and started assuming that the song would be included on Confident. People started to use other songs then upload it on YouTube and labelled it "Demi Lovato - My Stupid Heart", because it was like the first information we got from Demi's fifth studio album. The Lovato's "My Stupid Heart" was written by the same writers as Tini's one. So, people started assuming that Lovato rejected the song and gave it to Tini, noted that they were both in the same music label, Hollywood Records. But, it's okay we can just remove it. Thanks! :)

--Androptrnt (talk) 05:19, 29 December 2016 (UTC)androptrnt (talk)

@Androptrnt: I see. Well, obviously we can't make claims like that without a reliable source. Assuming it's the same song because it has the same writers and such is original research. – nyuszika7h (talk) 11:38, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

On Ricky Garcia

Nyuszika7H, I know you're not around much these days, but as one of the main authors of Forever in Your Mind, I thought I'd let you know that Draft:Ricky Garcia (actor) just got deleted. It looks like Best Friends Whenever is probably done, so I don't think this will make much a difference in the short term, as the Forever in Your Mind article is probably sufficient for him... Anyway, I just thought you should be made aware. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:11, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Liv and Maddie

Did you ever see the discussion I just started? This edit was reverted last year and I decided to get consensus, but only Amaury responded. Did you ever see the edit? The discussion exists at Talk:Liv and Maddie#Duplicate plot summaries. So far there hasn't been another reply from another user and I get the feeling that Amaury just doesn't like me at all. He claims this article doesn't need to follow the guidelines of other articles but I don't see why it shouldn't. I don't get the point of it not being like other Disney Channel and Nickelodeon teen sitcom articles. The lead lacks context and their does not seem to be a point in listing two plot summaries, especially when both lack certain details. Are there any other editors that should be involved in this discussion? Geraldo Perez failed to chime in this time like he usually does (I don't know why). Meanwhile IJBall wasn't interested and MPFitz1968 didn't respond either. Kkjj (talk) 22:00, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Hey

Just wanted to ask if this IP comment was you editing logged out, perhaps by mistake? It locates to Hungary, so thought it might be you. Amaury (talk | contribs) 19:52, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks for that. The Android app often logs me out for some reason, and it has absolutely no warning that I'm editing while logged out. nyuszika7h (talk) 20:04, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

They need to be fixed first. You can see if your wiki still has something to fix here for one of the HTML problems. This list does not cover all problems. You can read about more problems. [23][24]

Genres for You Don't Know Me (Jax Jones song) and Run Up

Hi User:Nyuszika7H, can you add these sources to You Don't Know Me and Run Up pages please, as you'll be better at citing sources. Just found sources for You Don't Know Me (Jax Jones) genres, here [25] the song is described as house, and here [26] it's called caribbean, R&B and electronic dance. Caribbean usually refers to dancehall songs like Shape of You is described here [27].

And this source for Run Up song page for it's genre(s) please, [28] here it's called dancehall and described as having "island-inspired beats", "rap verses", a "dancehall hook", "deep bass undertones" and a "light, tropical synth topline". Appreciated if you can, thanks.--2A02:C7D:892B:3D00:8112:BFC5:EBD0:6A7B (talk) 12:30, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Theme song template

About an hour ago I updated many articles to use the theme song template, except those I haven't gone through yet since I'll just do that when I tidy them, but I'm wondering if the nowrap code can still be used to make those longer ones appear neater? Amaury (talk | contribs) 17:04, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

@Amaury: Yeah, you should still be able to use {{nowrap}} inside the template, though there's a hard line break before "by", if it's problematic in some cases I'll see what I can do. Can you show me an example? nyuszika7h (talk) 22:32, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
I think this is one of the good examples. Amaury (talk | contribs) 00:18, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
@Amaury: Not much we can do about the song title as it's simply too long, and we can't make the text smaller or we'd violate MOS:FONTSIZE. About the ref, I'll try to figure out a way to make it appear next to the last list item without semantically being part of it, which isn't exactly correct. For now you can add it as part of the last list item, it's not exactly logical semantically but better than using <br /> tags. nyuszika7h (talk) 08:54, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
It doesn't actually look that bad, I was mostly just curious, though I wonder if Best Friends Whenever is a better example. Amaury (talk | contribs) 14:39, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
@Amaury: That one looks fine to me. (Bizaarvark, Best Friends Whenever) nyuszika7h (talk) 14:42, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Soy Luna and a cast table

Nyuszika7H, what I'm trying to say is that cast tables are basically unneeded for TV series that have run less than about 4 seasons. I'm not finding a super great example, but I guess the one at NCIS: Los Angeles kind of shows why (Chicago Fire (TV series) is a less great example) – cast tables are primarily a visual way to show which seasons various actors have appeared as "main cast" on a show. For 1–3 season shows, you really don't need a cast table to show that – a simple cast list, with character summaries, should suffice. It's only when you get complicated cast changes over multiple seasons that a cast table becomes a good idea. So, what I'm trying to say is, regardless of how many episodes Soy Luna has per season, the fact that it's only run 1–2 seasons means that a cast table is not necessary for it – a simpler cast list should be fine for its article in the near-term. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:30, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Question...

Hi, Nyuszika7H. Can you comment on this edit at Claire Holt? I admit that I also don't care for the "darker color" that ! scope="row" |... generates, so if | scope="row" |... can be used instead, without any loss in terms of WP:ACCESSIBILITY, then I'd prefer to start switching to the latter coding format, even at the WP:FILMOGRAPHY example. Do you know anything about this? Is the latter format still OK in terms of WP:ACCESS?... TIA. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:33, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

@IJBall: I remember I was the one who added the row scope guidance to WP:FILMOGRAPHY originally, though I forgot about it. Semantically, it should be a table header (<tr>). class="wikitable plainrowheaders" should be used, which makes it more modest – just a darker background, no bolding or centering. I have no idea whether screen readers actually handle a <td> with a scope as a header, but that usage is deprecated in HTML5, it should only be used in <tr>.
(Also, thanks for reminding me about that article, I've watchlisted it now. I've recently re-watched H2O: Just Add Water, as I haven't seen all of it properly back when I watched it.) nyuszika7h (talk) 12:09, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Recent changes

  • The Save page button now says Publish page or Publish changes on the Wikimedia wikis except for Wikipedias and Wikinewses. This change will come to Wikipedias later. The point is to make it more clear that the edit will change the page immediately. Publish page is when you save a new page and Publish changes when you edit an existing page. [54]
  • DMOZ no longer works. Templates that use DMOZ can be redirected to archive.org or another mirror. DMOZ has been removed from the RelatedSites extension on Wikivoyage. [55]
  • You can see monthly page views when you click on Page information in the sidebar. Developers can also get monthly page views through the API. [56]
  • The Linter extension is now on smaller Wikimedia wikis. It helps editors find some wikitext errors so they can be fixed. It will come to other Wikimedia wikis later. The extension will be able to find more errors later. [57]
  • The MediaWiki-Vagrant portable development environment has been updated to use Debian Jessie. This means local development and testing will be more like on the majority of Wikimedia production servers. [58]

Problems

  • On 15 March some interwiki links to other languages were not correctly sorted. This has been fixed. If you still see pages where the interwiki links are not sorted as they should be, they should be fixed automatically with time or you can edit the page and save it without changing anything. If this doesn't work, please report it. [59]

Changes this week

  • When you edit with the visual editor, you will be able to switch the direction you write in from right-to-left to left-to-right as you are editing. This is especially important for editors who edit in languages that write from right to left. You can do this with a tool in the editing menu. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+X on PCs or Cmd+Shift+X on Macs. [60]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 March. It will be on all wikis from 23 March (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 21 March at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

  • The tracking category Category:Pages with template loops is now added when a template loop is found. A template loop is for example when a template tries to use a second template that uses the first template. [65]
  • English Wikipedia now has cookie blocks. It will come to more wikis in the future. This is an extension to the autoblock system so when a user is blocked, the next time they visit the wiki a cookie will be set. This means that even if the user switches accounts and to a new IP address the cookie will block them again. [66]

Problems

  • Wikidata descriptions, aliases and labels that used some characters could not be saved. This has now been fixed. [67]

User intent prediction means the filter tries to make it easier for editors to determine if the edit was made in good faith or not. Other wikis will get it later. [71]
  • The list of special characters in the wikitext editor and the visual editor will now have a group of Canadian Aboriginal characters. [72]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 April. It will be on all wikis from 13 April (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for 20 to 30 minutes on 19 April and 3 May. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. You can read more about this.
  • RevisionSlider will change how you move between revisions. This will be available on the test wiki from 11 April. It will come to other wikis later if users like the change. You can test it and give feedback.

Watch updates

First, Nyu, once again, welcome back! It's so good to see you again!

Are you still a "watch everything guy"? If so, could you please update your spaces accordingly in my sandbox for main articles, episode lists, and character lists under both current and ended? User:Amaury/sandbox. Same deal with you, Geraldo Perez, MPFitz1968, and IJBall, minus the "watching everything part," because I know you're not those kind of people—which there's nothing wrong with!. If there have been any changes in what you're watching, would you also please make changes accordingly? Anything that's short-term, like is common with IJBall, does not have to be check-marked, obviously. Thank you very much, my friends! It is appreciated!
