WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest. Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
 * The template db-afc-move has been created - this template is similar to db-move when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Tech News: 2022-08
<section begin="technews-2022-W08"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

 * At Wikipedias, all new accounts now get the Growth features by default when creating an account. Communities are encouraged to update their help resources. Previously, only 80% of new accounts would get the Growth features. A few Wikipedias remain unaffected by this change.
 * You can now prevent specific images that are used in a page from appearing in other locations, such as within PagePreviews or Search results. This is done with the markup <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> . For example,.
 * Octicons-tools.svg There has been a change to the HTML of Special:Contributions, Special:MergeHistory, and History pages, to support the grouping of changes by date in the mobile skin. While unlikely, this may affect gadgets and user scripts. A list of all the HTML changes is on Phabricator.

Events
 * Community Wishlist Survey results have been published. The ranking of prioritized proposals is also available.

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).

Future changes
 * The software to play videos and audio files on pages will change soon on all wikis. The old player will be removed. Some audio players will become wider after this change. The new player has been a beta feature for over four years.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Toolforge's underlying operating system is being updated. If you maintain any tools there, there are two options for migrating your tools into the new system. There are details, deadlines, and instructions on Wikitech.
 * Administrators will soon have the option to delete/undelete the associated "talk" page when they are deleting a given page. An API endpoint with this option will also be available. This was a request from the 2021 Wishlist Survey.

Question from Radiomanya (18:25, 22 February 2022)
Hello, Vukky! I am creating my first article about a person, but I just got a message: "An automated filter has detected that you are adding a link to a deprecated source, considered generally unreliable after discussion by the community."

She is an actress and I only adding sources or websites, connecting with movies she has been played in. Could you please help me? Thanks --Radiomanya (talk) 18:25, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Radiomanya: When you get that message, it means you added a link to an unreliable source. I'm not sure what source that is, but you shouldn't be using it in an article. You might be interested in Reliable sources if you are curious about what "unreliable/reliable sources" refers to. Best regards, <b style="background:#000;color:#00a8f3;padding:2q;border-radius:5q">Vukky</b> TalkGuestbook 18:54, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from Aanyaumair (09:30, 24 February 2022)
Is removing dead wikilinks from pages is good faith edits or bad? As is removed all dead wikilinks from this page List of educational institutions in Gujranwala. --Aanya Umair (talk) 09:30, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello again @Aanyaumair! Red links are not "dead", they just indicate that the article hasn't been created yet. If you think the articles could exist at some point in the future, you can let them stay there. Otherwise, you are allowed to remove them. Best regards, <b style="background:#000;color:#00a8f3;padding:2q;border-radius:5q">Vukky</b> TalkGuestbook 11:30, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from Radiomanya (22:10, 23 February 2022)
Hi! I just created my first article and then I got a message, that the page is redirected. How can I fix this? I was created it about a real person who is an actor. Thanks! --Radiomanya (talk) 22:10, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Radiomanya: Hello again! As I told you in your last question, Wikipedia needs reliable sources (what?) for its articles. You got that message because the article you made had mostly unsourced text, or needs more reliable sources instead of unreliable ones (which should not be used). Your article hasn't been removed, but it has been moved to "draftspace" where you can keep working on it until it's ready to be published. Best regards, <b style="background:#000;color:#00a8f3;padding:2q;border-radius:5q">Vukky</b> TalkGuestbook 11:34, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Got it! Thank you so much! Radiomanya (talk) 16:15, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
