Hi. I noticed you're using the old Rater gadget by Kephir, for which development has been discontinued. Have you checked the newer User:Evad37/rater? I believe it can handle multiple projects in one edit. This would help avoid clogging up page histories when you're on an assessment drive. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:55, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for bringing this up again, but taking seven edits to assess a single article can really clog up watchlists. Is there someway you could modify your workflow to avoid this? --Paul_012 (talk) 01:08, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your important notice.I don't use old script Because,I have already installed a new script.My laptop software has some technical problem.Hopefully it will be okay.next time I will not be mistaken using Ratar.take care.Thanks again. CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 02:01, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Curacoa
Hi CAPTAIN RAJU: First, many thanks for cleaning up my typos. I make many and when creating articles I develop such tunnel vision that I no longer see them. Second, Curacoa is/was not a typo. It is the 18th-19th century English name for Curaçao. I have restored it to the Emperor Alexandria article, but blue-linked it to the modern name. I will try to remember to do so routinely in the future. (As a general matter, I try to preserve the spellings I find in the sources so that others may more easily find the source, plus to document past practices and the changing English language.) Cheers, Acad Ronin (talk) 17:15, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Sir i need help
Hello sir... How are you bro? Can you please give me information? Mehr Shahrose Munir (talk) 00:56, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Empty talk page
Please stop creating empty talk pages like Talk:Peligrosa (disambiguation). The documentation for Talk page header clearly says "this template should not be added to otherwise empty talk pages." Thanks. Pam D  05:27, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. There's also Talk:List of Oz characters (disambiguation). There's a useful gizmo you can get which colours all links to dab pages in orange, alerting you to the fact that you've linked to one, or that this is a dab page and needs special treatment - but I can't find it in a quick look at Preferences/Gadgets, so can't quickly point you to it. I guess it's something I've put into my .js at some point. There's also something, I think different, which hightlights pages which are redirects or are proposed for deletion: makes editing a glorious technicolour affair, but they are all very useful. Happy Editing, and stay well. Pam  D  08:48, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Found the orange thing: Preferences - Gadgets - Appearance, and 5th from bottom of the list. Pam  D  08:55, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your important notice.I have already removed talk page header template from Talk:Peligrosa (disambiguation) and this page.maybe it was my mistake.Thanks again for the advice.takre care. CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 08:56, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

<section begin="technews-2020-W15"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems
 * There was a problem with user pages not being shown properly on desktop. This was because of a bug. It will soon be fixed.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 April. It will be on all wikis from 9 April (calendar).

Future changes
 * MediaWiki will use a newer version of Unicode. Some characters that did not have an upper case equivalent before do now. Titles beginning with one of these characters will be moved. A list of these titles can be seen on Phabricator. The titles will be renamed by the user . This will start on 13 April 2020. You can rename them before this if you wish and the new title can be different from the one the script would rename it to.

Very small minnow
Hey Raju, I'm picking up that you're diving into some articles being worked on by long-time editors while they are actively under construction and causing edit conflicts. Maybe just look to see if they are more than an hour or two old before you dive in. Not a big deal, just a heads up that you may want to remember WP:DEMOLISH and yeah, I know that under construction is useful, but it's easy to forget. Montanabw (talk) 20:19, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
