Disambiguation link notification for April 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Indian general election, 2009 (Bihar), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Third Front. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Gärdestad
Hi, I was looking for help to improve the Ted Gärdestad article, I will also help with improving it. If you find time for it, please take a look at the article Any help is appreciated. Thanks.BabbaQ (talk) 10:36, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, I can take a quick look, but I'm very busy with school work right now, so I can only do small things which does not take too much time.
 * (And I am an adult (18) now, but I did not see any congratulatory rants from you this year about the youth today and their pesky trend-things.) :(t)  Josve05a  (c) 19:02, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I've been too busy telling young punks to get off my lawn. Wow, 18.  How time flies.  To be honest,  I've always thought of you as an "adult".  You are alot more "adult" than many of the old farts around here. Bgwhite (talk) 21:45, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Why, thank you! :) I try my best to impersonate an adult, and apparently it seems to have worked perfectly. And my condolences to your wife that she has to resolve to watch you scream at punks, rather than watching someone like John since he hasn't appeared in anything recently. ;) (t) Josve05a  (c) 23:02, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Orphan
please help me in removing the issue an orphanNimesh Srivastav (talk) 16:29, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Uncat
Re your edit to John Pett: if you remove uncat from an article whose only categories are "living peope" and "date of birth missing" (or for other articles cats such as "People from xxx" or "Alumni of yyy" etc),  please add catimprove instead: it still lacks categories for his area of notability. Thanks. Pam D  05:24, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I try to do this, or skip removing the categories whne that occures, but I must have missed this. THanks for letting me know. (t) Josve05a  (c) 16:47, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned talk pages
Hello,

For the last little while I've been working on re-implementing some of the inactive database reports that haven't run since the toolserver went away. By coincidence, the one I've been working on in the last few days is "orphaned talk pages", which actually just went live.

I swear this is a coincidence! I was referred to the discussion around your G8-tagging bot and I noted that there was some crossover but I thought it would still be useful to have the report. However, it looks like your bot will essentially also be preparing a report, and not actually tagging anything?

If that's the case there is obviously overlap between the report you are running and the one I am. Heck, my SQL query even looks like I copied yours ;)

Anyway, I would like to offer to remove this particular report definition from Community Tech Bot, and invite you to update the WP:Database_reports/Orphaned_talk_pages page regularly instead. I have plenty of other reports to work on, so you're more than welcome to this one if you want it :D.

Please let me know what your preference is.

Thparkth (talk) 02:07, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Haha, suuuure, coincidence ;p
 * My goal with the bot was to automatically tag articles for deletion, in order to get the deletion process go faster. Regarding the copies SQL code, I can only argue copyrights violation. Lol, nah. I copied it myself from Meta or Wikitech somewhere. (t) Josve05a  (c) 06:42, 21 April 2016 (UTC

Other database reports
Could you help set up reports/queries for all untagged orphan and dead end articles. I have tried to set some up, but they are "failing" miserably, due to "too many hits" and being killed by Quarry, so I think I might have made some syntax eros, and I'd rather have someone that knows code to do it... (t) Josve05a  (c) 11:36, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm, noticed that Special:DeadendPages seems to be working, but not Special:LonelyPages. (t) Josve05a  (c) 14:21, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-17
<section begin="technews-2016-W17"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems
 * Wikimedia tested a new data center last week. This meant that the wikis could be read but not edited for 45 minutes on April 19 and for 20 minutes on April 21.
 * When the data center was tested, new edits were not shown in the recent changes log for 20 minutes. They are in the logs now. You can read more about how to find the edits.
 * Unread notifications were sometimes counted incorrectly. This has now been fixed.

Changes this week
 * Wikimedia Commons will have better access to Wikidata. They can use data from any page on Wikidata on any page on Commons. This will happen on April 26.
 * It will be easier to choose if you want to watch files you have uploaded with the upload wizard.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from April 26. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from April 27. It will be on all wikis from April 28 (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 April 26 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * The "" button when you edit will be called "Publish" instead. This is to help new editors understand what it does. It already works like this on some wikis.

AWB snarl up
Hi, in Sisua village AWB as operated by you had an attempt to fix up this sentence: "There is a cricket ground in this village where childrens of Sisua village plays cricket and all other type of games like Marble (toy), Kabaddi, Gilli-danda and many more." but it got it wrong, it should have changed it to "There is a cricket ground in this village where children of Sisua village play cricket and all other types of games like Marble (toy), Kabaddi, Gilli-danda and many more." (since the grammar had several mistakes). I don't know how you set AWB to fix this, but perhaps the sentence was beyond its capability of correction! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:25, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * AWB works on a regex, and tries to find specific words and replaces them. Sometimes t~here might be other issues, but AWB do not try to fix all issues, just listed ones. Feel free to fix this one. <span style="background: turquoise;font-family: 'Segoe Script', 'Comic Sans MS';">(t) Josve05a  (c) 16:55, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
