Teahouse host profile update?
I was browsing the Teahouse host profiles and it says that you have been helping out in the Teahouse the last month or so and your signature is dated in 2015. I just thought I should let you know in case you wanted to update it. Clovermoss (talk) 20:52, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ Updated to a more general profile that still applies even if I forget about it for a few years again. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:29, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Withdrawing AfD nominations
Hi, hope your well,

Thank you for withdrawing your AfD of Charles Leclerc (disambiguation).

For future reference I thought I would point out the procedure for nomination withdrawal. Don't worry I have closed the discussion for you but I just thought I would point this out in case you ever withdraw a nomination again. Thanks, SSSB (talk) 13:54, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I do know the procedure, but it's a pain to do from my phone. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:53, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Recent changes
 * The report for phase 1 of the talk pages consultation 2019 has been published. Communities are invited to start phase 2 of the consultation on their wikis.

Problems
 * File descriptions for files from Commons were not shown properly on other Wikimedia wikis for a few days. For example the image descriptions and license information were missing. This has now been fixed.
 * Some diffs show an error message when you try to see them. The developers are working on fixing it. It could be because of some edit comments.

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).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * The content translation tool on Wikipedia can use machine translations. There is a system to stop translations where the editors do not fix machine translation mistakes. This warns or stops them if they seem to just copy what the machine translation gives them. If this system is too strict or not strict enough you can tell the language team.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Wikidata  API endpoint will remove all aliases if the request includes an empty alias. This is how it supposed to work. It has not been working this way because of a bug. This will start on 12 June.
