Italic title in infobox
In Magnificat in E-flat major, BWV 243a, the title should not be italic. infobox opera seems to have a solution, but I am not sure I understand it enough to copy it to infobox Bach composition. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:27, 28 June 2017 (UTC)


 * That should be working, now. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:02, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, it's not "working" yet, - seems always to take a while until a template change is visible in what we see --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:26, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes it is; see Purge. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:47, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I purged the page with the method to go to edit and replace "edit" by "purge". Still italic. Also: there was a conflict of DISPLAYTITLE, "fixed", but now we have a header that has the BWV number also italic, which is not wanted. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:36, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The template works, you just have to ! Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:40, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Now I see the article title straight, as should be, but Magnificat in the infobox is still italic. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:48, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The italics are hard-coded into the infobox, but can be over-ridden . Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:56, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, always learning. I didn't want to change the hard-coding because then almost all articles would have needed a change, but now someone did that anyway. Not so sure anymore. infobox musical composition doesn't have that hard-coding. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:00, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

I tried to fix this as the Magnificat but didn't succeed. Bach cantata worked. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:27, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Template:Cite Q
I've been reading the Wikidata-related Op-Ed in The Signpost and thinking of my struggles adding a reference to Wikidata. Then your addition to Breastfeeding popped up on my watchlist. Wonderful. May I bombard you with questions the next time I enter a reference? It would be nice if there were a function in Wikidata that would take the wikitext of a formatted reference and parse it into the correct (or almost correct) fields? I remember the process of creating each field as rather slow. StarryGrandma (talk) 16:29, 30 June 2017 (UTC)


 * By all means ask for help. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:31, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I love having the Wikidata link in the reference; it makes the source very easy to fix if there is a problem. However I am hoping for a way to keep Cite Q friendly for source editors. (My experience with Cite doi before the changeover was painful.) I am thinking of something like or  . These actually work just fine at the moment. Just change the usage to
 * adding " = memo or comment to label the reference for ease in source editing" or something like that.
 * Currently Visual Editor is well-enough developed that one can see what the reference is while editing. The issue is for source editing. The wonderful change of showing references in preview for section editing is a great help. (I would often forget to remove the reflist I had put in.) However dealing with a large section with many cite doi references in those days was difficult, with only a long number differentiating a reference and a long preview reference section far up the page.

You can do this with an HTML comment



or:



-- Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:45, 2 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, I like this, particularly with the comment inside the template where it is less likely to be removed by another editor. While Visual Editor takes blank spaces out of references when edited, it leaves comments alone. StarryGrandma (talk) 23:27, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

On reflection, it's better to do this with the  attribute on the citation:



-- Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:21, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Since I often already name references even though I only use them once I like that too. That fits in completely with the usual appearance of a reference and no one would be tempted to change it. StarryGrandma (talk) 12:54, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-27
 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
 * There was a problem with maps on Wikimedia wikis that used  when you clicked on the link to another map service. Open Street Map or Google Maps are examples of other map services. If you had marked a place on the map the marker would not be in the same place on the other map service. It was in the middle of the map. This has now been fixed.

Changes this week
 * Very old and inactive unpublished translations in the Content Translation database will be removed. This is because of technical maintenance. If you have not worked on a translation after 1 January 2016 you will lose it after 6 July. If you want to keep the unfinished translation you need to open it before 6 July with the Content Translation tool. You can continue working on it later. Translations that were started or have been worked on after 1 January 2016 will not be affected.
 * There is no new Mediawiki version this week.
 * Octicons-tools.svg EventStreams is a new way to show activity on Wikimedia wikis. It works with the recent changes feed. It will do more things later. It will replace RCStream. Tools that use RCStream should move to EventStreams before 7 July. Tech News wrote about this in the 2017/07 issue.

Administrators' newsletter – July 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2017).

Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Happyme22 • Dragons flight
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Zad68

Guideline and policy news
 * The RFC discussion regarding WP:OUTING and WMF essay about paid editing and outing (see more at the ArbCom noticeboard archives) is now archived. Milieus #3 and #4 received support; so did concrete proposal #1.

Technical news
 * Fuzzy search will soon be added to Special:Undelete, allowing administrators to search for deleted page titles with results similar to the search query. You can test this by adding ?fuzzy=1 to the URL, as with Special:Undelete?fuzzy=1. Currently the search only finds pages that exactly match the search term.
 * A new bot will automatically revision delete unused file versions from files in Category:Non-free files with orphaned versions more than 7 days old.

Miscellaneous
 * A newly revamped database report can help identify users who may be eligible to be autopatrolled.
 * A potentially compromised account from 2001–2002 attempted to request resysop. Please practice appropriate account security by using a unique password for Wikipedia, and consider enabling two-factor authentication. Currently around 17% of admins have enabled 2FA, up from 16% in February 2017.
 * Did you know: On 29 June 2017, there were 1,261 administrators on the English Wikipedia – the exact number of administrators as there were ten years ago on 29 June 2007. Since that time, the English Wikipedia has grown from 1.85 million articles to over 5.43 million.

Backlog update: Technology update:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 18,511 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
 * Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.
 * Several requests have been put into Phabractor to increase usability of the New Pages Feed and the Page Curation toolbar. For more details or to suggest improvements go to Page Curation/Suggested improvements
 * The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:
 * User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js adds a link to the new pages feed and page curation toolbar to your top toolbar on Wikipedia
 * User:The Earwig/copyvios.js adds a link in your side toolbox that will run the current page through

General project update:
 * Following discussion at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers, New pages patrol/Noticeboard has been marked as historical. Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers is currently the most active central discussion forum for the New Page Patrol project. To keep up to date on the most recent discussions you can add it to your watchlist or visit it periodically.

Portable Antiquities Scheme : translation in French
Hello. I've found your call for some work on this article on the French Wikipedia with quite a delay, while reading the Bistro des non-francophones (the non-French-speakers forum), something I rarely do. If you think it would be useful to translate anything else from English to French, don't hesitate to ask me directly. The PAS catched my interest because it's an interesting initiative I hadn't heard of, a pragmatic way to ease the quarrel between official and unofficial archeologists and to gather as much data as possible. It seems to me it's a smart move. I plan to extend the article, wich is a stub for now, in the fr.wiki. Amicalement Aluminium (talk) 22:24, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
