Note there was a discussion with the last editor on their talk page about removing that part. User_talk:Barkeep49 Never any consensus to add it in to begin with.  D r e a m Focus  01:38, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * good day. Thank you for your message and noted both of your I would suggest to got to WP:N talk page to get group consensus agreement of removing the texts for it might effect a small percentage of the articles but in large the removing of the texts would effect the core policies of Wikipedia.

Tech News: 2020-46
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes
 * You can see reference previews. This shows a preview of the footnote when you hover over it. This has been a beta feature. It will move out of beta and be enabled by default. There will be an option not to use it. The developers are looking for small or medium-sized wikis to be the first ones. You can let them know if your wiki is interested.
 * From November 16 the categories will not be sorted in order for a short time. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the internationalisation library. They will use a script to fix the existing categories. This can take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more.

"you didn't provide a reliable source"
"Information icon Hello, I'm Cassiopeia. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Paul Felder, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk) 00:26, 14 November 2020 (UTC)"

The source is the same one that was already there: http://boxing.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/boxingnvgov/content/results/2016_Results/05-29-16MMA.pdf

The information on wikipedia didn't match the information in the source. Why revert it without even looking at the source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tcmvl (talk • contribs) 00:30, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Mike Grundy and Michael Grundy
Hey Cassiopeia, how're you doing? Have your injuries healed? I hope they have. I'm writing this because as you can see, there's two articles for the same guy, and I don't know how to kind of mix them up. If you could help me out with that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks and best.PabloLikesToWrestle (talk) 16:24, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Good day. I was not doing well for the last two weeks. The stress on the nerve on the neck led to Shingles on my face and I had massive headache and need prescription pain killer and nerve pain drugs and even that I still felt the pain in head. Sleeping was a huge problems. Shingles healed pretty quickly but I still have headache and the doctor said it will last at least one month. So here I go. As for the articles about I have made a redirect of Michael Grundy to Mike Grundy. Thank you letting me know. Btw, I dont remember which article that you write about McGregor (a super star....) which I have reverted, pls do note that when add any content in any articles in Wikipedia, we need to write the content in WP:NPOV (neutral point of view). So words such as popular, extremely beautiful, super star, (all the WP:PUFF words, should not avoided. Stay safe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 09:52, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Holy damn dude, that does not sound like fun at all, hopefully the pain goes away as much as possible throughout the month and doesn't have to go further than that. Thank you very much. Haha, yeah, I think I wrote "...expected to face UFC superstar Conor..." to try to explain a little bit the massiveness of the contest, but it's totally fine if the word is to be avoided. I also added that the fight is not finished nor official as per Dana White, as McGregor hasn't signed the contract yet, but that was reverted as well.
 * Also, I saw that you're active in Wikipedia Commons, uploading screenshots of mixed martial artists at interviews. I was thinking about doing the same with the articles I create about wrestlers, if you could give me basic instructions on how to that (the process and all the sections I have to fill with info are nuts), I'd really appreciate it. Thank you very much and heal soon. PabloLikesToWrestle (talk) 15:50, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Good day. The pain is slowly subside but the head is still feeling heavy, like thousands of meddles pining into my brain and from time to time feeling sharp pain here and there - it is hard to think or focus that doing anything requiring that. Hopefully by mid of next month, things will get to normal. As for the image uploading - here are some info you need to familiar with:
 * Read Image use policy - pls have a good read (very important as Wikipedia takes violation of WP:COPYVIO extremely seriously),  especially on WP:IUPC section. (Note: if you are the copyright owner, which means you are "the one" took the photo). It is not easy to find sites who give the that is free use or  indicates "License Creative Commons Attribution license".
 * Read Uploading images - on file names and formats (use JPG or PNG formats)
 * Upload the image to  Wikimedia Commons and follow the steps and instructions.
 * Once it is uploaded - Click on the "Use this file" on top of the image file (on Wikimedia Commons) and copy the file name (without the file but with the format) and paste into Wikipedia article. Example here just copy "Lyman_Good_at_UFC_230.jpg" into the article accordingly.
 * If you find video that states "License Creative Commons Attribution license", then let me know as it needs few more steps to upload the image.
 * Let me know if anything else I could help. Stay safe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 00:38, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Deleted Article “Mohammed Mokaev”
Hi I recently submitted an article for “Mohammed Mokaev”

I need the wiki markup from the article I submitted can this be sent to me so that I may continue to edit the article (privately) until I submit it again at sometime in the future?Rassmallai (talk) 01:49, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , Good day. You can ask for WP:REFUND and copy and paste in note pad (not word) and then asked for creator deletion (place on top of the page. However, the subject is not notable and will not be notable for a long time to come (many years). A MMA fighter needs at least 3 fights under tier one (UFC) to meet WP:MMABIO, and routine reports or interview or merely mentioned even in independent, reliable sources would not meet WP:GNG. If you continues to submit and the article is deleted, the subject (article) will be blocked from creation. I suggest you to write other subject which pass notability guidelines, until Mokaev is signed by UFC.

Question about naming fighter
So brought up a good point on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:Khaos_Williams about the naming of the fighter. Most of the recent news have called him Khaos, but the older articles and sherdog refer to him as Kalinn. What is your opinion? HeinzMaster (talk) 04:26, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I will answer on the draft article talk page. Thank you.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:24, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Moving of Justin Tafa to draft
I noticed you moved Justin Tafa to Draft:Justin Tafa and left a message at User talk:Isingness. I don't understand this as that user was already blocked when you posted that notice.

Please consider that articles in draft space are automatically deleted after 6 months. It may be wiser to move an article to your user space in situations like these. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 00:51, 21 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Good day. Thank you for your message. Tafa has yet to meet the WP:MMABIO notability guidelines until he has fought his third fight in UFC on Jan 16, 2021 - see - see here. We, the mma editors in Wikipedia to keep track of all the UFC fighters (in my watchlist and other editor's watchlist- see example on my talk page 'message title :New Fighters") and we will update the info/content accordingly and I will review it and move it to main space after his third fight. Stay safe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 01:33, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Just keep the automatic deletion in mind in cases where the third fight is further into the future or when the third fight gets postponed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexis Jazz (talk • contribs) 17:10, November 24, 2020 (UTC)


 * (including Heinz here), Hi Alexis, a draft page will not be automatically deleted after 6 months if no edit is made as it has to be nominated for G13 by an editor and the involved admin needs to review the draft page if G13 is applicable. (I used to nominate G13 regularly in the past).  Rightfully, if the draft is potentially pass GNG or SNG then the nominator should made a dammy edit and states  "delay G13" on the edit summary that will automatically reset the G13 from the last edit for another 6 months. However, to say that many nominators might not read the content of the draft before tag G13. I used to create all the MMA fighters page when they are notable for the past 3.5 years right up to few months ago when Henz join the effort of creating the pages. I didnt create in draft pages first as I created them right after the fighters secured their 3 fight in UFC since I am not only a reviewer but also have autopatrol right so, the pages would shown on mains pace right after the creation. We will keep an eye on Tafa draft page. Thank you for you message and stay safe. best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 23:40, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

UFC 256
Hello. I still disagree with your reverts regarding the Figueiredo/Moreno bout. The background info always had such updates and they are not reverted. We never wait until UFC confirms those bouts before adding. Just like the other 3 previous title fights that were supposed to happen. Based on your opinion only, we should have removed them. Not to mention other bouts that never for "officially announced". You can't treat that situation like you did as one case scenario. Please do not repeat it again. It made no sense at all to remove that kind of information and you actually broke the 3RR by doing it. Obviously I'm not going to report it, but just a heads up for future instance. Since the UFC announced it, I'm fixing the text, but I would've brought it to higher instance if it didn't happen. Thanks! Gsfelipe94 (talk) 23:20, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It is not about UFC confirms the bout, but it is that the bout is still in negotiation which means it is not officially signed. 3RR is revert more than 3 time, I did only 3 but not the 4th. take care felipe.06:23, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That's not the case, as many other bouts on "announced bouts" or "background" section are announced the same way that this one was. It should've been kept there, just like others have been and will be. Take UFC 257 for example as the exact same situation. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 20:43, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The content of the announced bout and the background sections are recorded when the bout are announced by the press when the contracts are signed. The different is that in the background section we place "while not official announce by UFC" is for the title /main/co-main bouts. If the bout btw Figuiredo/Moreno are signed by both parties now since the negotiation has been announced for more than 5 days, then add the content back in with source. Take good care Felipe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>)

 * Sorry I don't understand what you are trying to say. Is English not your first language? Respect to you for trying to do your part but - with all due respect - I am not sure if you are qualified to be the final arbiter on English wikipedia articles if your grasp on the English language is not the best. This is fine because not everyone should be the final arbiter, but you seem to be trying to make yourself out to be just that. KhanzotChinev (talk) 23:06, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

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).

Future changes
 * The iOS Wikipedia app will show readers more of the article history. They can see new updates and easier see how the article has changed over time. This is an experiment. It will first be shown only to some iOS app users as a test.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Wiki Replicas can be used for SQL queries. You can use Quarry, PAWS or other ways to do this. To make the Wiki Replicas stable there will be two changes. Cross-database  will no longer work. You can also only query a database if you connect to it directly. This will happen in February 2021.
