Hello HouseBlaster - Thanks for offering to be my editor! I had a question in the "talk" section of Chris Roberts-Antieau's page. The artists lists a couple of exhibitions that were not in a museum nor academic institution. Rather they occurred in her own commercial retail gallery with links to retail site. Is this okay?

It's been... a rollercoaster of a year! One that threw both of us into very uncharted waters – sometimes at the same time, like when we slogged through a whole bunch of bone-crushing RfCs or at your RfA, where I was a fairly green admin and nominator. But I was also incredibly proud to watch from afar as you picked up the toolset – a scary thing for even the most prepared of admins – and adapted to it with the same quiet, killer competence you'd brought to CfD, CSD, and NPP, and now unblocks! And global renaming! And arbclerking! And helping me get through the very new (for me) thing that is an ArbCom election! (Thank you.)
So, yeah, a year of firsts for both of us. I couldn't be happier to not be in the deep end alone, though :) thank you for your own holidays message, it made me tear up! And, sorry I won't be in your neck of the woods this week, but who knows – maybe there's a Social View in NYC this year happy holidays, House, I can't wait to work with you this year on arb stuffs and I feel very lucky to count you as a friend.

We have a big problem. This category should be empty, and it normally is, but now it has over 6,000 categories because, it looks like, bad instructions going to User:JJMC89 bot III when it was instructed to rename categories. Soft redirected categories should be empty and the categories in Category:Wikipedia non-empty soft redirected categories are redirect categories created by JJMC89 bot III but they are full of articles and other categories. It looks like this problem started in mid-December with some renaming requests and JJMC89 bot III created these redirect categories but didn't move the contents of the categories from the category redirect to the actual category they were supposed to be in (or it moved the pages into the redirect categories, I'm not sure).
I noticed this problem last week but it will take a huge effort to figure out how to fix this if it needs to be done manually so I put off inquiring about it until now when I came across another redirect category that wasn't empty. You and User:Fayenatic london are the admins who have the deepest understanding of how categories function so maybe you can come up with a solution that won't take hundreds of editor hours to correct. I'm willing to pitch in to help but I think we first have to understand how this problem happened before we get down to moving thousands of pages to the right categories.

MSGJ has been doing a lot of work on templates and modules to update these. See e.g. Module_talk:WikiProject_banner#Changes_for_FM-class, and Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion/Working/Archive 37. I've been assuming that the editors listing all these categories for renaming are also working on template updates to implement the outcomes. I did some housekeeping on backlinks to FM-class articles categories, but the template work is beyond me.

Hi Liz! It was a result of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 December 7#Category:Category-Class articles. As usual, this is because of template-generated categories. The jobqueue is still catching up; there were 13,000 of them (you can see the full list at WP:CFDWLM) a week ago so we are making good progress. It should be sorted (fingers crossed!) in less than a week. No manual action is needed; there might be some templates which need updating, but I've been taking care of that as they come up.

I was a bit impatient so started running null edits on all of the pages in those categories (as well as the categories themselves when their pages were done), getting through a couple thousand in the last 30 hours or so by starting with the low hanging fruit (the ones with the fewest pages), and working up to the big ones (now with ~130+ pages). I set my minion to ignore any categories with the strings highway, byway, auto trail, road, roads, route, russia because it seemed like the templates that put them there still needed updating.
That's left me with this list of categories where the null edits had no effect:
That list was a bit bigger but I've gone through and manually fixed (I hope) a few others. Would you mind having a quick look through some of my recent edits to check that I was on the right track? I'm fairly sure things like this were correct but I've only really worked on the templates of one or two Wikiprojects so I'd like to be sure; hope I've been more of a help than a hindrance!

First, thank you for helping out!

Aluxosm, thank you so much for your help.

Ah yes I see the issue. The code uses its own checked to detect whether the page is an article or not. In this case C2Cl2F4 is not actually a disambiguation page so it gets tagged as an "article". This will need some thought. It may be that we have to use the names of the classes (i.e. Disambig) to determine this instead — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:34, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20250115073400","author":"MSGJ","type":"comment","level":10,"id":"c-MSGJ-20250115073400-HouseBlaster-20250115013900","replies":["c-HouseBlaster-20250115075100-MSGJ-20250115073400"]}}-->
@MSGJ: Thinking about it now, I don't think that C2Cl2F4 is actually in scope of WP:WPLIST (unless all disambiguation pages are in scope for WP:WPLIST)? I've inquired at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lists#Is C2Cl2F4 in scope for WPLIST?. (Obviously, this doesn't negate the need for a solution in the long-term, but the immediate problem appears solvable.)Throwing out a super crazy idea: Would making use of Module:Resolve category redirect be a solution? I suppose this could be a way to implement all of article->page category moves. It is inelegant, and an immediate (non-technical) problem I can see is that its maintainer is non-admin Tom.Reding, and the module might need(?) to be fully protected to be used on this scale.

The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Hello, it's me back but I need to repost a bad problem. A new IP User named 2A00:1851:8007:ECFC:2DC7:F9E5:B63:3DD6 started erasing many of my regularly-read Wikipedia pages.

Alright. We generally wait for people to be warned a couple of times before blocking them (some people don't realize they are actually editing the real, live Wikipedia). Additionally, blocks are to be be used as punishment, so even if someone has been warned a billion times we would never block someone if the disruption stopped a few days ago.

Hello, I'm back but I unfortunately have a problem. The article Tux (mascot) had many sections either removed or had trolling, and I think we should protect it. In one case, a user who disappeared from Wikipedia, named Crazycattsniper0 removed tons of useful images in the Gallery. I had to revert it, and after a few weeks, other users helped it back to normal. Then another case occured when an IP added trolling, which seemed funny personally to me, but we had to revert it again. The IP said in the summary, "why is tux repeated?". Do you think we should?

@Gnu779: Hi! In the future, requests for protection should go to WP:RFPP. We generally try to avoid protecting except in extreme circumstances – we are encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and protection defeats that purpose.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See the SUL3 project page for more details and a timeline.
Updates for editors
On wikis with PageAssessments installed, you can now filter search results to pages in a given WikiProject by using the inproject: keyword. (These wikis: Arabic Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, English Wikivoyage, French Wikipedia, Hungarian Wikipedia, Nepali Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia) [1]
One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Tigre (w:tig:) [2]
View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed. [3]
Updates for technical contributors
Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the MediaWiki Interfaces Team in Phabricator if they arise.
Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI.
For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 returned a JSON object with an integer in its sub field, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. [4]
Many wikis currently use Cite CSS to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to not clean up your MediaWiki:Common.css until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output.

Dear Mentor,
I would like to start my first article, however, it has been rejected 3 times.
I tried to use reliable sources as CNN, The Japan Times, GQ, Vogue.
I would like to make improvement.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes. I do have 3 independent articles.
Therefore, it is not recommended to add sources as CNN titled with "Ten Best" etc...
Also, is Vogue or GQ a reliable sources which I can use.

Created with templates {{ORGCRIT assess table}} and {{ORGCRIT assess}} This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor.
This is using a machine translation, so it might be off. There is some writing from the "I" perspective, meaning that Choy had a hand in writing it. That means it is not independent.
It appears we have one source which contributes to the notability guideline for businesses. Do you have any other sources like the Vogue source? We need two or three total, so one or two additional sources which tick all four boxes above would be enough to get this article accepted. If additional sources do not exist, there is unfortunately no amount of editing you can do to get this accepted.

@Wikieditorken: You can add references to offline sources if they are reliable. However, the only thing that matters to get your draft accepted is if there are multiple sources which meet all four criteria I showed you above (a good amount of detail, independent of Choy, a secondary source, and reliable).

I hope you’re doing well. I was trying to move the page Student–People's uprising to "July Revolution (Bangladesh)", following a discussion where there was an agreement to rename the page. However, I think I made a mistake during the process, and now I’m unsure how to fix it.
I also renamed "July Revolution (Bangladesh)" to another title, but now I feel like I’ve unintentionally caused issues with the page history and structure.
Could you please help me move "Student–People's uprising" to "July Revolution (Bangladesh)" and guide me on how to resolve any mistakes I’ve made?

It appears Wikipedia has assigned you to be bothered by me. I'm working on a draft article titled 'Draft:Cheating in online chess', a subtopic of the already existing 'Cheating in chess'. Cheating in online chess in particular is both notable and complex, and many aspects of it would qualify for article level coverage under Wikipedia's requirements, let alone section level. However, I don't wanna make a 100KB article in draft space all by myself. Should I expect to need more information and citations than would be expected of other articles because I'm making one on a subtopic for it to get past reviewers and controversy, and to what extent if so? Do I only need to establish the breadth of the topic with some summaries, or do I have to flesh all of it out? I've read WP:Splitting and I know the regular requirements. Also, are there any means of finding sources you use other than the ones given by Wikipedia?
