red links on Wikipedia
Hi Andy, I hope you are well! I would like to practise some Wikipedia editing, before I completely forget everything. I remember you once sent us an email with the link to a page listing all chemistry related subjects/articles that needed to be written or expanded. How do I find that? Thanks

Eowyn041084 (talk) 15:03, 11 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, There are some at GLAM/Royal Society of Chemistry, and links to more there. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:08, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Faro station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Faro. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:52, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

You've done something here. I can't work out what it should be, but it seems wrong. :

 * What do you mean? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:40, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It looks like you might've accidentally inserted some template tags in this edit. Izkala (talk) 20:11, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you. How bizarre. Fixed. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:19, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Recent changes

Problems

Tech News: 2016-21
<section begin="technews-2016-W21"/> 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
 * You now see a warning message on pages that try to use but it doesn't work because it doesn't match the page's actual title.

Problems
 * Commons had problems with server lag. This meant that it took longer time for files to turn up in categories.

Changes this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 May. It will be on all wikis from 26 May (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 May 24 at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Octicons-tools.svg All HTTP access to Wikimedia sites and APIs will stop working. Some bots still use HTTP. They will need to use HTTPS instead. This will happen on June 12.

Tech News: 2016-22
<section begin="technews-2016-W22"/> 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
 * Octicons-tools.svg There is now a standard way to get the target of a redirect page from a Lua module.

Problems
 * A new way to handle rollback was introduced. It broke some tools and scripts and was reverted. This will be re-planned after review.
 * CentralNotice didn't work in some older browsers. This has now been fixed.

Changes this week
 * When you edit a file or category page with the visual editor the rest of the page will be shown in its normal place.
 * The Translate extension will get an edit summary field.
 * A change to the  feature could break some user scripts. Contact Bawolff if the "click to insert special characters" links in the edit window break on your wiki.
 * Elasticsearch will be upgraded on Wikimedia wikis this week. This should not affect you, but if you have problems with the search function this is probably the reason.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 June. It will be on all wikis from 2 June (calendar).
