GA nom of Hospitaller colonization of the Americas
Hello, sorry for not replying. My wiki activity has been confined recently to maintaining one portal; I haven't had much time for actual content lately. I have read your review, I'm pleased that the concerns seem relatively simple to address. I plan to begin work on it tonight, and then really fix things this Friday/Saturday (October 31 and November 1, USA time). Is this acceptable? Best regards, Fishal (talk) 22:51, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes,, that is fine. As long as you are working to address the issues I found in the review, I don't mind waiting.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 22:56, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I have left the response at Talk:Hospitaller colonization of the Americas/GA1. I have additional questions about the 2 images but have otherwise made the changes you suggested. Fishal (talk) 21:58, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

VisualEditor newsletter—November 2014
Did you know? VisualEditor is also available on the mobile version of Wikipedia. Login and click the pencil icon to open the page you want to edit. Click on the gear-shaped settings in the upper-right corner, to pick which editor to use. Choose "Edit" to use VisualEditor, or "Edit source" to use the wikitext editor.

It will remember whether you used wikitext or VisualEditor, and use the same editor the next time you edit an article.

The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor. Not all features are available in Mobile Web. Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and requests, and worked on support for editing tables and for using non-Latin languages. Their weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted on Meta.

Recent improvements
The French Wikipedia should see better search results for links, templates, and media because the new search engine was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias next week, and eventually at the English Wikipedia.

The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for non-Latin languages, with full support hopefully coming soon.

VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use Internet Explorer 10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet.

The keyboard shortcuts for items in the toolbar's menus are now shown in the menus. VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme from the User Experience / Design group. The appearance of dialogs has already changed in one Mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" design and the new "MediaWiki" theme which will replace it.)

Several bugs were fixed for internal and external links. Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search program could not find the page. A link inside a template, to a local page that does not exist, will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to a error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed.

TemplateData
''' The tool for quickly editing TemplateData will be deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November. '''   This tool is already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.

You can use the new autovalue setting to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in this example, or to add the most common response for that parameter. The autovalue can be easily overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field.

In TemplateData, you may define a parameter as "required". The template dialog in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "suggested" or "optional" in TemplateData instead.

Looking ahead
Basic support for inserting tables and changing the number of rows and columns in tables will appear next Wednesday. Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be possible later. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus will be hidden behind a "More" item, such as "underlining" in the styling menu. The appearance of the media search dialog will improve, to make picking between possible images easier and more visual. The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap.

The user guide will be updated soon to add information about editing tables. The translations for most languages except Spanish, French, and Dutch are significantly out of date. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language. Talk to us if you need help exporting the translated guide to your wiki.  You can influence VisualEditor's design . Tell the VisualEditor team what you want changed during the office hours via IRC. The next sessions are on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC and on Wednesday 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC. You can also share your ideas at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback. Also, user experience researcher Abbey Ripstra is looking for editors to show her how they edit Wikipedia. Please sign up for the research program if you would like to hear about opportunities.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Instruments of Mercy, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages EDM, Grace and Digital download.

commons:File:Offbeatninja - The Hunt Is On ( Hunter X Hunter Bump ).ogg
Hi,

I don't understand why you say that the licence of commons:File:Offbeatninja - The Hunt Is On ( Hunter X Hunter Bump ).ogg is not given. On the link on the description, it is clearly mentioned "CC BY-SA" in the "Info" section at the right. Morever, I have checked this file with Midomi to search any copyright. So what is the problem with this file? Ftiercel (talk) 14:07, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * None. The reason I reverted the addition of that file was because the sample in the article did not link to the Commons file. Thus, I could not verify the licensing status of the work, and did not know that it was on Commons. Go ahead and re-add it, but make sure to supply a link to the Commons file.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 14:12, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * OK. If I understand you well, I have added the link in the article too quickly. Ftiercel (talk) 14:25, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * It appears you tried to add the file as you would an image. I went ahead and restored the file, using a template that links to the Commons info.-- &iquest;3fam  ily6  contribs 15:03, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
