 * I also recommend you go through TWA to get a beginning understanding of how Wikipedia works. EpicPupper (talk) 16:14, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, will do. Justiyaya (talk) 16:03, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think this is useful to anyone that has >10-100 main space edits, but thanks anyway, learned 1 or 2 things from it. Justiyaya (talk) 16:24, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello I want to be a student
I want to be a student in CV. TigerScientist Chat > contribs 16:45, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * u|Cassiopeia Can I become a student or you don't have time. If you don't want me it is totally fine just don't ignore me please. TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 19:14, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, Cassiopeia is currently travelling (I'm a current CVUA student right now and they told me about it). They will respond to you soon. EpicPupper (talk) 19:33, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for telling me. TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 19:40, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you EpicPupper for explaining the situation. Hi TigerScientist, I wasnt ignore you but I was travelling for last 5 days and I just got home. Thank you for interested in WP:CVUA. I saw you have done a few WP:TWA missions, and please finish all the mission of TWA so you may understand the fundamental Wikipedia guidance prior starting the CVUA program. Please note the CUVA program do require a lot of reading and working on assignment, so you need to prepare to spend time on the said tasks. Once you have completed the TWA program and pop back here if you still want to join the CUVA program but do note that I will be busy with packing and travelling for the coming days for I am moving back to Sydney. Just be a little patient if I dont reply your message on within 24 hours. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 13:49, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have been editing a bit and only just started the adventure. I already created my user page and due to that, I can't advance in the adventure. I easily understand a lot of it though. I am ready for any amount of time and reading. TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 15:35, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Good day. You can restart (from Mission 1/new) working on the TWA program even you have started editing your user page. Once you have done that, then pop back here and let me know. Cassiopeia(talk) 21:13, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I edit the user page and publish changes but it still says I need to edit user page  TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 21:19, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * AAAAAAAAAAnd I am stuck on the typo section. I edit all the typos out and publish but it still says I NEED TO DO IT TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 21:32, 17 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I have a look at your history page on your user page and I dont understand you are you trying to tell me above. All you have to do is go go WP:TWA and start doing the all the mission (I know you did some before, but please redo them "all" this time). It will take about 90 -120 mins of your time. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 21:43, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I did that. I did that but it should say something like continue right? I edited the user page but then it still says I have to edit it. I don't get why it still says I need to do stuff after I did it. TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 21:51, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Redo again (start a new TWA)). Do all the mission from start to finish even those you have done before. Treat it as it this is the first time you doing it. Start a new TWA. Cassiopeia(talk) 21:57, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I tried but still the same story. I can't get it to work. TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 23:40, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Why do I have to do the adventure. I already know NPOV, Copyediting, and basic policies etc. TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 00:04, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * TWA sometimes has a bit of trouble with detecting that you've made an edit, you can restart the TWA and try again. Avoid the browser "back" button. EpicPupper (talk) 16:11, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, IMO, the TWA is good for brushing up on your policy knowledge as well. EpicPupper (talk) 16:11, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

This thread got too deep, outdenting. EpicPupper (talk) 16:14, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I hated every bit of it too but still pulled through. nearlyevil  665  17:10, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I second nearlyevil's statement. Also, I wouldn't use the 2017 wikitext editor, for some reason it didn't work with TWA for me, maybe that's the problem?. AnApple47 (talk) 21:47, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you  and . I will try again.  TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 21:50, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Guess what? It didn't work. TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 22:07, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Did you try it without the 2017 wikitext editor? I tried it again, and it worked for me without it. AnApple47 (talk) 23:30, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I tried both ways but it didn't work. My TWA starts on thee visual editor if that information helps you. TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 23:58, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Do not use the VisualEditor, use the regular source editor. EpicPupper (talk) 00:08, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah I did. I created a new account called to test and well lets just say I GOT SUM BADGES. I am 100% sure the problem was I already had a user page on this account. It worked flawlessly on the other account.  TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 00:43, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Thank you EpicPupper and neralyevil665 for communicate with TigerScientist while I was absent. Appreciate your input. TigerScientist, have set up the program for you and pls read the links (reading material) and the communication section at the bottom of the assignment before you start answering the questions. Also, since you have created another user account, I would STRONGLY suggest you to just use one account, your old account "TigerScientist", if you happen to use both account and if you use them either intentionally or unintentionally which violate 3RR, use it as WP:SOCK edits in nature, you WILL BE BLOCKED INDEFENATELY. So pls stick to only one account. Note, I will still be busy for the next few days and should be settled in by next Monday, so if you do not hear from me for the new few days, pls be patient and I will get back to you as soon as I am available. Stay safe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:58, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for getting me in the program. I will never use that account again or use it to gain a advantage in arguments or edit wars. Thank you TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 15:14, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I personally recommend putting a Retired template on your alternate account user page, and adding a note on that page on the usage of that account. You also should add a note on your own user page. EpicPupper (talk) 16:13, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * thank you. TigerScientist  Chat > contribs 17:29, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

CVUA
Hi Cassiopeia. I was recommended to sign up for the CVUA and we apparently share the same timezone! I have sporadically edited Wikipedia under an IP. I picked up the Tinkle and Redwarn after making an account and I just kinda dived right in after reading a whole bunch. However, I'm not super confident and I think I'd benefit from some guidance. If you have space for me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much. Abillionradios (talk) 04:51, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Good day. Pls note that the CUVA program do required a lot of your time to read Wikipedia guidelines (reading material) and working on assignments. Many participants were informed of the above; and yet they do not anticipate the amount of time and work needed to complete the program, resulting of quitting of the program. So if you still want to participate the program, pls make sure you would have time as well as the determination to complete it. At the meantime, pls complete the WP:TWA program (about 120 mins) so you would familiar with some basic Wikipedia guidelines. Pop back here when you have finish the TWA program. Stay safe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:25, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Potential future issue
Hey, so the new season of Contender's Series is gonna happen this year, but I see a potential issue happening in the future. I don't see Contender Series ending anytime soon and the page is just gonna keep on going on and on, until one of the admins says that we will have to make it smaller. If we do it now, we can avoid the trouble of having to do even more work redoing all the links on the fighter's pages in the future.

Likewise, I just have some pages that I hope you can review.

Bellator 262 PFL 5 (2021 season)

All the best, HeinzMaster (talk) 00:17, 27 May 2021 (UTC)


 * ✅ review. As for the DWCS, we could split the article into "year" such as "DWCS in 20xx". By the way, I reverted your edit because DWCS is not UFC event for the promotion licence belongs to Dana White and not UFC.

Tofiq Musayev
Tofiq is the RIZIN Lightweight Champion and has fought 4 times in RIZIN (top tier promotion). He defeated 4 other notable fighters and the UFC made an offer to sign him. He was recognized by members of Azerbaijani government after winning the RIZIN title. His page should not be deleted. Darbaki (talk) 04:06, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * good day. Thank you for the message above. Rizin has never been a top tier promotion under Wikipdedia WP:MMATIER guidelines. Secondly, I have yet to find any independent, reliable English source stated the subject has been signed by UFC. Even if he is signed by UFC (by other languages sources), the subject needs to have at least 3 fights under tier one promoter or has been ranked world to ten to be warrant a page in Wikipedia.

Tech News: 2021-23
<section begin="tech-newsletter-content"/> 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
 * 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 Wikimedia movement uses Phabricator for technical tasks. This is where we collect technical suggestions, bugs and what developers are working on. The company behind Phabricator will stop working on it. This will not change anything for the Wikimedia movement now. It could lead to changes in the future.
 * Searching on Wikipedia will find more results in some languages. This is mainly true for when those who search do not use the correct diacritics because they are not seen as necessary in that language. For example searching for  doesn't find   on German Wikipedia. The character   isn't used in German so many would write   instead. This will work better in the future in some languages.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The CSRF token parameters in the action API were changed in 2014. The old parameters from before 2014 will stop working soon. This can affect bots, gadgets and user scripts that still use the old parameters.
