N (New York City Subway service)
I think you messed up on the subway transfer templates on that article. If you look closely, it shows there is a full-time transfer icon to the Q at Prince, 8th, 23rd and 28th Streets when the Q only serves those station during late nights. Can you fix it?
 * It looks like this has already been fixed. epicgenius (talk) 16:11, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Line map
I was wondering what was your rationale for having the and  lines combined into one route map. My take on it is that even though they essentially operate along the same route during the day, with one being express and one being local, they are both different services and should be treated as such. It isn't like the in which the latter is just a skip-stop clone. Just my two cents on the matter. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 22:38, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It's more about laziness on my part since the C and Rock Park Shuttle duplicate parts of the A in their entirety. For that reason, the W route map is part of the N. I could split the A and C maps, but it would make little difference since all C stops are on the A map. epicgenius (talk) 01:09, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Ha, it's all good man. I would understand from your POV completely as it is a time consuming process but I am very impressed by the effort you put into it.In the case of the N and W, I understand completely as to why you would combine the two and make one map from them, as the W, even though it has its own timetable separate from the N, is essentially a local version of the N (according to the MTA's system pick sheets, the W trips are just N train short turns that operate local in Manhattan. So in that case it makes sense for the N and W maps to be merged, but for the A and the C, seeing how they have two separate schedules both internally and what's made available to the public, it would make sense for them to have their own maps. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 01:19, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for appreciating my hard work. I'm glad to hear that. Anyway, I'll split the C map from the A after the maps for the 2, 3, and 5 are finished. The reason is that I have to sort out the formatting and station-listing issues for the other maps first. epicgenius (talk) 03:36, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem! Take your time man, keep it up. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 12:16, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Collaboration products newsletter: 2017-07
Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

The team is currently working on three main goals, which we expect to complete this summer or in September: We should note that it’s not certain these last two additions will make the cut for inclusion this year. If you want a make the case for either one, we want to hear from you.
 * 1) Graduate New Filters for Edit Review core features out of beta:
 * 2) * The core New Filters features slated to become standard parts of Recent Changes are the ones that have been out in beta for a while and fully road-tested by the community.
 * 3) *These include the new filtering interface, the machine-learning filter groups “User Intent Predictions” and “Quality Predictions,” the highlighting tools, the ability to save your filter settings for later use, and the new filter groups: “Watchlisted pages,” “Last revision” and "User registration and experience."
 * 4) * There’s a list of “blocker” tasks we need to complete before these features are ready to graduate out of beta.
 * 5) * We expect to release those features by default in September. A more precise message will be sent to communities. If you have questions about it, you can write a message on Mediawiki.org, in any language.
 * 6) Extend the New Filters to Watchlist: The Watchlists of very active editors can include thousands of pages.  To help these busy folks keep up with their work, we’re adding the New Filters UX and tools to Watchlist. The Watchlist and Recent Changes pages are similar, but there is some work involved in adapting the tools to their new setting.  That work should be ready some time in late summer or early fall. Stay tuned for an announcement!
 * 7) Continuing work on “Integrated Filters”:
 * 8) * While the New Filters for Edit Review beta brought probably 70% of the old-style Recent Changes features into the new user interface, it left some behind—like the Tag and Namespace filters and the controls for the number of days searched and number of results presented. As the name is meant to suggest, “Integrated filters” integrates those old-style tools into the new UI.
 * 9) * It also adds some new tools users have asked for, such as:
 * 10) ** “Live updates” which provides a near real-time automatic refresh of the Recent Changes page.
 * 11) ** Category filters, which enable users to search by category.
 * 12) ** User filters, which let you define searches that include or exclude edits by particular users.
 * 13) * We will put the community-defined related links that cluster at the top of most Recent Changes pages into a collapsible panel, in order to clarify the Recent Changes page.

Edit Review Improvements [ More information • Help pages ]

Recent changes
 * Some styling adjustments are ongoing on the filters for recent changes.
 * RecentChanges with the Beta feature were very slow to load on Wikidata. It is now fixed.
 * In the Beta feature, you can try the Live Updates feature. Just add  at the end of the URL in Recent Changes page.

Future changes
 * ORES review tool will be deployed to Romanian and Albanian Wikipedia soon. These wikis will be able to use predictions filters. To have the predictions filters on your wiki, you need to work on the labeling campaign for your wiki or request it.
 * Sometimes the RecentChanges page were reloading before the filters have ended to be loaded. It is going to be fixed.

Notifications [ More information • Help pages ]

Recent changes
 * It is now possible to display the number of unread notifications in the browser title bar, using a gadget.

Future changes
 * It will be possible to restrict who can send you notifications on a wiki. This new feature will accessible in your preferences, in the Notifications tab, on Wednesday, July 26.
 * Translation icon cropped.svg The documentation is ready to be translated.

NYC Subway crisis 2017
I think that the situation on the subway has gotten bad enough that it deserves a section on the NYCS page. I started a draft here: User:Kew Gardens 613/sandbox 5. Could you help me work on it? Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 23:29, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I think that is a good start. Maybe you can add this to the History of the New York City Subway page, have a summary on the main NYCS page, and also add the Genius Challenge. I'll add details later. epicgenius (talk) 02:15, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
 * This is a post-hoc comment, but I support the addition of this information to the pages. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 03:17, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
