Request For Counter-Vandalism Training
Hello Blaze Wolf

I was wondering if you would be interested in being my CVU academy trainer.

I mainly patrol recent changes with Twinkle but I am looking to gain more experience and learn more about tools that I can use in the future.

I look forward to working with you.

Thank you Tescomealdeal1 (talk) 14:19, 3 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi there! I'd be happy to be your CVUA trainer. It'll be a few days before I get it set up as I'm not currently at my computer. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze&#95;&#95;wolf 16:13, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from ChallengeFanatic (15:29, 5 June 2024)
Hello

I was updating a page and suddenly the poster image was removed for copyright violation. I am wondering how I can get the tv series poster up without violating any copyright?

Thanks,

 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
 * The software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The HTML markup used for citations by Parsoid changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the  class, Parsoid now also adds the  class for better compatibility with the legacy parser. More details are available.

Problems
 * There was a bug with the Content Translation interface that caused the tools menus to appear in the wrong location. This has now been fixed.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from . It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from . It will be on all wikis from (calendar).
 * Octicons-tools.svg The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: Parsoid will now generate a  wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. More details are available.
 * On multilingual wikis that use the  system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community requests it.

How do I add a picture and how do I get seen on Google from this page --Matthew Bradley Bowden (talk) 16:36, 13 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @Matthew Bradley Bowden: Your "User Page" is not a profile page like on social media. It's to tell others things about you when editing Wikipedia.
 * To write an article you can use Articles for Creation but writing about yourself is discouraged because it's hard to right neutrally. You can still upload a picture of yourself, at Wikimedia Commons. Rusty4321  talk contribs 16:53, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello and several newbie questions
Blaze,

I am the liaison to a group of long-time progressive activists who realize that unlike previous generations, we are afforded the opportunity to write our own historical retrospective. It is in this spirit that we would like to publish a comprehensive narrative of our time at the University of Wisconsin - Madison during the late 1970's and early 1980's.

We are currently gathering documentation and other evidence of our participation in many of the major campus events of that period. This information will serve as the backbone of the article. In addition, we would like to discuss the perspectives and beliefs that initially brought us together, the unifying principles that strengthened our resolve and the lasting effect that this activist period had on our lives. We would like to do this if for no other reason than to counter to the notion that those ideas learned in youth - making the world a better place, standing up for what you believe & speaking truth to power - are just a phase one goes through. It is our belief that if practiced by the curious such attitudes lead to a life of exploration, learning and peace of mind as you always remain true to yourself.

We would appreciate your guidance in helping us navigate the Wikipedia article submission process. As well as your thoughts on what is and is not Germane to the Wikipedia audience. We hope to create a narrative that is both creative and entertaining as well as - we hope - thought provoking. Please feel free to point me to any & all resources that are available for newbies and I will share them with the other members of the m28mscribes. M28mscribes (talk) 07:24, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Recent changes
 * People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see Edit check for more details.
 * The new Community Configuration extension is available on Test Wikipedia. This extension allows communities to customize specific features to meet their local needs. Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other Community Configuration use cases in the future.
 * The dark mode beta feature is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the project talk page.

Problems
 * Octicons-tools.svg Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center.
 * Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from . It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from . It will be on all wikis from (calendar).
 * Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable.
 * Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software.

Recent changes
 * Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions on the project talkpage.
 * The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode.

Problems
 * You can copy permanent links to talk page comments by clicking on a comment's timestamp. This feature did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from . It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from . It will be on all wikis from (calendar).
 * Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this feature on Diff or on Mediawiki.org.

Question from Arilynndh (22:40, 24 June 2024)
Hello, I was wondering if you knew anything about un-deleting a page. I know that it didn't meet all the requirements and I understand that but someone deleted the page before I could even edit it. I am new to wikipedia, but would love to get my page un-deleted so it could follow the guidelines. This person disrespected me and my journalism ethics and I don't find that quite fair. --Arilynndh (talk) 22:40, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

To add onto my last question. I would like to say that my work has been looked over by my boss at the job I work at, and was not just thrown together to throw together. This is an assignment my job gave me and I would like to not get fired for trying to do something on this website. --Arilynndh (talk) 22:41, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * No one "disrespected" you, and no one is going to restore your page. Your relationship with your boss has nothing to do with Wikipedia.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:47, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

<section begin="technews-2024-W27"/> 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
 * Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update.
 * Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis.
 * If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers.
 * Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months.
 * Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
 * One new wiki has been created: a in Mandailing

Problems
 * Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team.

Future changes
 * Please help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 2 weeks. The survey is covered by this privacy statement. Some translations are available.
