Edward Orlando Kellett
Josve05a, I noticed your recent edit to Edward Orlando Kellett where you dabbed Nottinghamshire Yeomanry to Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry. Can you tell me where you got the information from to say that the correct regiment was the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry and not the South Nottinghamshire Hussars? The cited London Gazette does not distinguish. Hamish59 (talk) 14:18, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I know this is circular referencing, but it is the information I had while I did the dabbing. On Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry Edward Orlando Kellett is listed in the infobox under "|notable_commanders=" (3rd name). (Plus the tool I use displayed 0 bars for it being South and a circular link-icon for this. See User:Dispenser/Dab solver.) So, by using simple backlinking, more article links pointed for it to be Sherwood than South. Feel free to revert my dabbing if you disagree that this is sufficient. (t) Josve05a  (c) 14:32, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, Josve05a. I have done some searching around and found him on this as Sherwood Rangers.  I will cite this and remove the clarify template.  Cheers.  Hamish59 (talk) 14:35, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Great work, glad I could help out. (t) Josve05a  (c) 14:37, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Technical question
Josve05a, you may be able to answer a technical question that I have regarding links, or perhaps point me in the right direction.

I am currently working on M Battery Royal Horse Artillery and I want to see "What links here". Problem is, this article is included on a template Template:Royal Horse Artillery so when I hit the "What links here" I get links to all the other articles on the template. I only want to see which articles link explicitly to M Battery Royal Horse Artillery rather than through the template. Is there a technique to do this? A "What links here, but not through a template" function?

Thank you very much for your help in this matter. Hamish59 (talk) 09:05, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, yes there is. If you press "Hide transclusion" under Filters on Special:WhatLinksHere/M_Battery_Royal_Horse_Artillery, (which will show you this page: ) you will not see template-linked articels. (t) Josve05a  (c) 09:10, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly, Josve05a. I tried what you suggested, but it does not appear to make any difference.  I still get all the template-linked articles.  Hamish59 (talk) 09:31, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see what you mean, I misunderstood earlier. Sorry for not responding earlier. I don't know a way currently, but I have a person I will ask later today who I think can help out. (t) Josve05a  (c) 20:30, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The great user did an SQL-query which resulted in this:

mysql> SELECT page_title -> FROM pagelinks -> JOIN page ON page_id=pl_from -> LEFT JOIN templatelinks ON tl_from=pl_from ->      AND tl_namespace=10 AND tl_title="Royal_Horse_Artillery" -> WHERE pl_namespace=0 AND pl_title="M_Battery_Royal_Horse_Artillery" -> AND tl_from IS NULL AND page_namespace=0 -> GROUP BY page_id -> LIMIT 10; +---+ +---+ +---+ 6 rows in set (0.06 sec)
 * page_title                       |
 * Anglo-Egyptian_War               |
 * List_of_Royal_Artillery_Batteries |
 * 1st_(Peshawar)_Division          |
 * 1st_(Risalpur)_Cavalry_Brigade   |
 * M_Battery,_Royal_Horse_Artillery |
 * 10th_Indian_Cavalry_Brigade      |
 * Unfortunatly, there is no tool currently which does this, which is sad. (t) Josve05a  (c) 20:47, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Absolutely no need to apologise!
 * Looking at the results above, this seems a partial solution; it seems to be a list of linked articles that are not in the template. However, it misses a class of articles that are in the template AND explicitly linked.  For example, I Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery is in the Template:Royal Horse Artillery and also links to M Battery Royal Horse Artillery.
 * Not to worry. I do not want to waste anyone's time on this, just thought there might be a standard way of doing this.  Thank you very much for your help.  Hamish59 (talk) 20:56, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Tech News: 2015-49
<section begin="technews-2015-W49"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. The symbol for advanced news items has been changed. This is because the symbols were too similar. If a news item is for more technical readers it now looks like this:. You can give feedback on this change.

Problems
 * On September 29 users' skin preferences were removed by mistake on small and medium-sized wikis. This changed preferences back to Vector. Restoring all data would cause even more problems. Affected users who want to have their preference changed back globally can ask for it as a comment on Phabricator task T119206 until December 21 2015.
 * Some scheduled tasks were not working properly from September to recently. This meant some pages in the special pages namespace were not updated. It has now been fixed.

Changes this week
 * Wikinews, Wikispecies, MediaWiki.org and Meta will be able to use information from Wikidata.
 * There are no MediaWiki deployments this week (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 December at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can join the next meeting with the Architecture committee. The topic this week is using the  tag for media. The meeting will be on 2 December at 22:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Category watchlists are now available on test wikis and MediaWiki.org. The plan is to enable it on most wikis in January.
 * Cross-wiki notifications are being developed. When this is done you will not have to go to the wiki where something happened to be notified.
