Recent changes
 * If you revert an edit using the undo link your edit is marked with an  tag. This will now only happen if you don't change anything in the edit window before publishing the undo. This is to keep users from marking edits as undos when they actually do something else.
 * The new OOUI version will not work with Internet Explorer 8. This means the wikis will look strange and not work well in Internet Explorer 8. This was reported in Tech/News/2020/17. This is because keeping the wikis working with very old browsers creates other problems.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 August. It will be on all wikis from 20 August (calendar).

Future changes
 * All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 13:30 and 15:30 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis next week. This is a reminder. You can help by translating the announcement message.

Your GA nomination of Lake Ptolemy
The article Lake Ptolemy you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Lake Ptolemy for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

To any interested talk page stalkers/commenters...
...is anyone interested enough to comment on Featured article candidates/Laguna del Maule (volcano)/archive1? The criteria that it has to be hold to are at WP:WIAFA. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:14, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not a FA expert but was amazed the article had got so far without a hatnote pointing to it from the undisambiguated title (something I check for when stub-sorting a disambiguated-title stub, let alone a FAC). Have added said hatnote at Laguna del Maule. Good luck. Pam  D  08:53, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm no vulcanologist either: should it have categories within the hierarchies of Category:Volcanoes by status, Category:Volcanoes by highest known Volcanic Explosivity Index of eruption and Category:Volcanoes by geochronology?  Pam  D  09:00, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Though neither of those are of concern to the FA criteria, just the findability of the article. Pam  D  09:04, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but did these additions anyhow. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:19, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!
 Happy First Edit Day! Have a very happy first edit anniversary!

From the Birthday Committee, CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 19:48, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Changes later this week
 * Normally pages can be moved to a title that has no existing page yet or to a page that has only one revision, which is a redirect to the page to be moved. A new user right allows editors to move pages over one-revision pages that redirect to anywhere.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 September. It will be on all wikis from 10 September (calendar).
 * Octicons-tools.svg All MediaWiki API modules will now use  instead of  . This was inconsistent before.

Future changes
 * The Wikipedia Android app team might work on patrolling tools in the future. You can let them know what tools would be useful for you or for less experienced patrollers. See the page on mediawiki.org.
 * OTRS will be updated to a new version. This will probably take around two days. OTRS agents will not have access to the system during these days. Emails that come in during the update will be delivered when the update is done. The plan is to start around 08:00 UTC on 14 September. This could change.
 * The Wikipedia Android app will send push notifications if users want them. This could help you see for example when someone wrote on your talk page or your edit was reverted. This will need Google Play Services to work. It will also be possible to get the app without Google Play Services but push notifications will not work. Google Play Services is also used to make the app work for Android 4.4 users.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Wikimedia code review could move to GitLab. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers. You can take part in the consultation.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Dropdown menus in the Vector skin use a  class. This will not work in the future. Scripts can use   instead.   and   will also not work. Some scripts need to be updated. You can read more in Phabricator.

Thank your for your diligence at FAC!

 * Thanks, I admit though that between real life, TV Tropes duties and coming back to the article being hatched at User:JoJo Eumerus mobile/sandbox I'll be sparse at FAC, except for things I have nominated and when pinged. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:35, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Same story here ... suddenly so busy IRL... so I really appreciate how fast you got on that! Best, Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  17:53, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

DOIs inactive
Did something big change in the volcano-journal world? The cleanup list shows multiple earthquake articles newly listed because of "DOIs inactive" ?? https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Featured_articles.html#New%20articles I tried fixing one at Omayra Sanchez, to no avail. In addition to: Also, Jo-Jo, just to introduce you to a geology FA writer,, you may be interested in this course: Wiki Ed/University of Minnesota/Geomorphology (Fall 2020) Best, Sandy Georgia (Talk)  13:55, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Armero tragedy
 * Nevado del Ruiz
 * Omayra Sanchez
 * Gyromitra esculenta
 * Jo-Jo, I see now that the three articles are indicating the same broken link, which I don't know how to repair. Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  13:57, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I've seen this problem with that particular format of Springer sources. I tried to fix it on some of my articles but got nowhere. I suspect the only way would be to tell the website operators at dx.doi that these DOIs are still valid. I've heard horror stories of the effects of student editing on medicine-related topics and I've seen student editors a few years ago at Neopluvial. I don't know what the scope of 's course is, does it cover volcanoes and faults? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:07, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know ... we shall see! But since Awickert is an accomplished Wikipedian, I don't expect to see the typical student editing issues there.  Best, Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  14:22, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * In case anyone is interested, I've completed a draft article on a particular tsunami hazard in the Atlantic Ocean. Not sure what to name it, and a little unhappy about its development; I was hoping someone somewhere had authored a study summarizing the existing knowledge about the threat that could be used as a secondary source. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:38, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * La Palma tsunami threat? A bit out of my territory ... Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  13:43, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

DRV for September 11
Hey, I posted the DRV for Thomas Hruz, which, as mentioned in the text, was intended to be a DRV for both Hruz and Robert D. Sundby (AFD). Could you please also relist Sundby, as he falls into the same category as Hruz and the six other judges who were initially deleted and then restored.

Recent changes
 * There is a new tag for reverted edits. For example you can see it in the recent changes feed or in the article history. It is added to edits when they have been undone, rollbacked or manually reverted to an older version of the page.

Changes later this week
 * The number of times you can do something in a period of time on wiki is limited. This could be the number of edits per minute or the number of users you email in a day. Some users are not affected by all limits because of their user rights. They could soon see the limit even if it does not affect them.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 September. It will be on all wikis from 24 September (calendar).

Deletion review for Diamond Standard
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Diamond Standard. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Nixie9 ✉  14:16, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Recent changes Problems
 * Admins can now see links to diffs of deleted revisions on Special:AbuseLog. This uses the interface of Special:Undelete.
 * Editors are automatically added to some user groups. For example editors are added to autoconfirmed users when they have edited enough times and long enough. Abuse filters can hinder users from automatically getting user rights for a period of time. They can also remove rights user have. Wikis can now ask to change how long this period of time is for their wiki in Phabricator. It is currently five days.
 * Last year some abuse filters stopped working because of a new change. If they tried to use variables that were unavailable for that action they would fail. 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 29 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 September. It will be on all wikis from 1 October (calendar).

Future changes
 * You can't see the language links to other language versions from the talk page or history page. They are also not shown when you edit an article. This could change. It is not decided if for example the history page should link to another history page or to the article. You can take part in the discussion in Phabricator.
 * The link colours could change. This is to make the difference between links and other text more clear. You can read more in Phabricator.
 * In your preferences you can choose to get different notifications on the web or by email. You will see  as one of the alternatives later this week. This is because the Android and iOS Wikipedia apps will use push notifications for those who want them. You can see the preferences on the test wiki. The goal is to have push notifications on Android in October and on iOS in early 2021.
 * You can soon put pages on your watchlist for a limited time. This could be useful if you want to watch something for a shorter time but don't want it on your watchlist forever. It now works on mediawiki.org and will come to more wikis later. You can read more and see when it will come to other wikis.
 * You can see what Wikimedians think are the best new technical tools this year. You can also nominate them.

Recent changes
 * There is a new tool where you can see which home wiki users have in discussions on Meta. This can help show which communities are not part of the discussion on wikis where we make decisions that affect many other wikis.
 * You can now thank users for file uploads or for changing the language of a page.

Problems
 * There were many errors with the new MediaWiki version last week. The new version was rolled back. Updates that should have happened last week are late.
 * Everyone was logged out. This was because a user reported being logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Many pages have JavaScript errors. You can read more and now see a list of user scripts with errors.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 October. It will be on all wikis from 8 October (calendar).
 * Letters immediately after a link are shown as part of the link. For example the entire word in  is linked. On Arabic wikis this works at both the start and end of a word. Previously on Arabic wikis numbers and other non-letter Unicode characters were shown as part of the link at the start of a word but not at the end. Now only Latin and Arabic letters will extend links on Arabic wikis.

Future changes
 * You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on 27 October around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour.
