UTRS
Hi KoH - I responded to your CU query for UTRS #8373; for some reason it would not allow me to kick it back to you so you likely won't receive email notification.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:48, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Tricentis, cont.
As much as I'd like to debate significant coverage, sigcov is a notability argument, and the problem here allows neither an article nor a redirect. Unscintillating (talk) 23:48, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I don't understand you. How does your current statement bolster your argument that the article should be restored? -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 03:59, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I am not here to argue for restoration of the article, that is incorrect, I am here to restore the article, as per the consensus of editors discussing the matter on the talk page of the article, which in this case is just me. If as an editor you don't agree with that consensus, there are things that you can do as an editor, but avoiding the use of your administrative tools should not be one of them.  If you don't want to deal with the technical issue, then please leave me to identify the source of the problem elsewhere.  Given that you have an editorial opinion on the matter, what I would suggest that you do is to restore the article and its talk page from the incubator and then boldly redirect the article to Tosca (software), and then make your case on one of the two talk pages.  Unscintillating (talk) 13:45, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not really a technical thing, though. You shouldn't be restoring the article without either the consent of the deleting admin or consensus at WP:DRV. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 05:49, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I've never heard of such a process. Unscintillating (talk) 19:10, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Unblock discussion
Hello! I want to remind you of the unblock discussion you opened here. I believe there is a consensus in favor of unblocking Morts623. Hey mid  (contribs) 17:42, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Let's wait a bit, I would prefer if someone else closed the discussion. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 04:56, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The discussion has now been archived. The discussion should be unarchived, or somebody needs to make a decision regarding the discussion. Hey  mid  (contribs) 15:17, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Nobody should ever have an unblock request fail due to going stale IMO, so I have unblocked the user, though admittedly there is only weak consensus in favor of unblock. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 02:05, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Why dual-protect Raspberry Pi?
Hello. I don't think it's wise to use pending changes protection and semi-protect together on Raspberry Pi. PC is designed to give unregistered users limited edit access to a page while protecting it from vandalism, but using semi-protection breaks that advantage. Please considering disabling one of them, thanks. Zhaofeng Li [ talk... contribs... ] 09:58, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * My intention was to semi-protect it for 3 months (because it did indeed need semi), and have it automatically fall back to PC for the remaining 9 months. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 02:41, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Abusefilter/201?
While doing research for an ANI, I came across this comment of yours, which lead me to wonder what exactly is Abusefilter/201, and does it work? (The rangeblock you mention doesn't appear in the block logs of any of the suspect IP's) If so, would using it be appropriate in this case? Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:00, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * 201 is my personal test filter. Once I made sure it was functional, I moved it to Special:AbuseFilter/539, but later disabled it due to no hits. I have reenabled it and augmented the ranges. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 02:40, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Talkback
Can we please get him talk page banned, too? He's being hurtful. Helperbot won't let me report him to AIV, again, and you're the banning admin. Jackson Peebles (talk) 05:36, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Tech News: 2013-34;
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

New features

 * The latest version of MediaWiki (1.22/wmf14) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on August 22. It will be enabled on non-Wikipedia sites on August 26, and on all Wikipedias on August 29.
 * You can now use new styles of galleries. Please give feedback to User:Bawolff.

 * You can now use the HTML5 tag to say where a word can be cut. (52468)
 * Gadget authors: you can now use the  hook, so that your scripts are re-run when a page is changed after the   event (for example using Ajax). (30713)

Problems fixed
 * There was a bug where file redirects didn't work when a file was renamed; it is now fixed. There is still an issue with purging, but it should be fixed soon. (52200)
 * Special:SpecialPages provided by special pages will now all be updated on each wiki every six months. This will for example give you recent information on uncategorized pages, unused templates and most wanted pages (see details).
 * There was a bug that caused false positives for anti-blanking edit filters; it is now fixed. (52077)

VisualEditor news
 * The "edit" and "edit source" tabs and section edit links can now be changed more easily; for example, some wikis are using "edit source" for wikitext editing, and "edit beta" for VisualEditor. You can ask for the same change in bugzilla.
 * You can now edit references that are added inside a  block. (51741)
 * You can now test on mediawiki.org new basic tools to add and edit struck text (with the VisualEditor - Icon - Strikethrough-a.svg button for the  tag), lower text (VisualEditor - Icon - Subscript.svg for  ), upper text (VisualEditor - Icon - Superscript.svg for  ), underlined text (VisualEditor - Icon - Underline-a.svg for  ), computer code (VisualEditor - Icon - Code.svg for   and  ), math text (VisualEditor - Icon - Equation.svg for  ), Egyptian hieroglyphs (VisualEditor - Icon - Hieroglyphics.svg for  ), and to say that text is in another language (VisualEditor - Icon - Language.svg for  ). (51609, 51612, 51611, 51590, 51610, 52352)
 * You can now use VisualEditor with the Opera browser.

Future
 * Starting on August 26, you will be able to use data from Wikidata on Wikivoyage sites.
 * Starting on August 27, you will also get notifications on the mobile site if you're logged in to a wiki using notifications.
 * Starting on August 28, all users with an account will be using HTTPS to access Wikimedia sites. HTTPS brings better security and improves your privacy. Some countries (like China) will not use HTTPS. If HTTPS causes problems for you, tell us on meta.
 * Starting on August 29, you will get the code editor interface to edit JavaScript and CSS pages on all wikis.
 * The plan to use Solr for search in MediaWiki was changed; instead, Elasticsearch is now planned.
