getting diffs
Hello. I am non-seriously working on WP:BOTREQ. I successfully got editor name, time, and edit summary, but I have been failing to get diffs of any page/edit. I tried to find the information regarding edit diffs in manual, and in this man page, but I am still failing. Do you know some other manpage, or how to get a diff? —usernamekiran (talk) 10:24, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @Usernamekiran, I assume you're using pywikibot. Do you want something like ? —  Qwerfjkl  talk  10:30, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
 * thanks. Yes, I'm using pywikibot. I had tried using page.revisions but couldn't get it correctly. My code so far for getting the info is as following. I have also created another chunk for creating archive pages, it is working correctly. The only thing I'm stuck with is the diff text. —usernamekiran (talk) 10:51, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

import pywikibot

print(archive_entry) --- In the html output (of previous script), there was mention of "Yuri Aleksandrovich Petukhov" which is a redirect to "Yuri Petukhov (footballer)". These two articles are not mentioned, and were never mentioned in any previous version of my userpage. However KiranBOT had updated the category of "Yuri Aleksandrovich Petukhov", after that, the "Yuri Aleksandrovich Petukhov" page was moved to "Yuri Petukhov (footballer)" by some other editor. I still have no idea why texts of these articles were popping up in the output. —usernamekiran (talk) 13:30, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

 * I tried multiple methods, I am getting bizarre outputs. I am also getting texts from irrelevant articles. I tested the script on the template:in the news, as well as on my userpage - same issues. I have been unable to get/load the diffs. can you get the diffs? —usernamekiran (talk) 13:18, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Tech News: 2023-37
 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
 * ORES, the revision evaluation service, is now using a new open-source infrastructure on all wikis except for English Wikipedia and Wikidata. These two will follow this week. If you notice any unusual results from the Recent Changes filters that are related to ORES (for example, "" and ""), please report them.
 * When you are logged in on one Wikimedia wiki and visit a different Wikimedia wiki, the system tries to log you in there automatically. This has been unreliable for a long time. You can now visit the login page to make the system try extra hard. If you feel that made logging in better or worse than it used to be, your feedback is appreciated.

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).
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Technical Decision-Making Forum Retrospective team invites anyone involved in the technical field of Wikimedia projects to signup to and join one of their listening sessions on 13 September. Another date will be scheduled later. The goal is to improve the technical decision-making processes.
 * Octicons-gift.svg As part of the changes for the Better diff handling of paragraph splits wishlist proposal, the inline switch widget in diff pages is being rolled out this week to all wikis. The inline switch will allow viewers to toggle between a unified inline or two-column diff wikitext format.

Future changes
 * All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 20 September. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks.
 * The Enterprise API is launching a new feature called "breaking news". Currently in BETA, this attempts to identify likely "newsworthy" topics as they are currently being written about in any Wikipedia. Your help is requested to improve the accuracy of its detection model, especially on smaller language editions, by recommending templates or identifiable editing patterns. See more information at the documentation page on MediaWiki or the FAQ on Meta.

Global ratings
Hi Qwerfjkl, are you up for some more bot work sometime? It seems to me that we could roll out the WP:PIQA assessments soon. For articles which are not in Category:Articles with conflicting quality ratings and have equal or blank class parameters defined in individual banners, we can do edits like this. Bear in mind that a few projects have chosen to opt-out of the global ratings so it will be necessary to track these templates and their redirects, and not to remove the class parameter from those. Thanks &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:21, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol newsletter
Hello ,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Also, I factored the discussion directly above it in my close, which was discussing the same topic and had broader participation (I closed it as no consensus as well). Finally, of course, I determine consensus based on the strength of arguments rather than their number, so that there was a numeric majority supporting doesn't matter (that much).<span id="Qwerfjkl:1695540473774:User_talkFTTCLNQwerfjkl" class="FTTCmt"> —  Qwerfjkl  talk  07:27, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

 *  Tool of the week 
 * User:Luca.favorido/linkypop.js is a script that can be used to search an identifier on an external site. It provides a button to search for an identifier as soon as you type it in the property input field. For example, if you type “ORCID”, an icon with a lens will appear, and when you click it, a new tab will open with the ORCID site looking for the name of the researcher. You can then copy the URL and paste it to Wikidata.

Question from WormwoodMatilda (16:01, 26 September 2023)
Hi, it is my first time contributing to wikipedia. I did that by adding a new language (italian) to an already existing page. It was online for several minutes but now it is under revision. Is there something that i have to do to facilitate its publication? --WormwoodMatilda (talk) 16:01, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @WormwoodMatilda, according to Special:Contributions/WormwoodMatilda you have not edited any pages other than this one, so can you please give a link?<span id="Qwerfjkl:1695748148138:User_talkFTTCLNQwerfjkl" class="FTTCmt"> — Qwerfjkl  talk  17:09, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, sure. Here is the link:
 * https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Yarrahi WormwoodMatilda (talk) 19:34, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @WormwoodMatilda, as far as I can discern, the issue was that you used automatic translation to Italian, which is not permitted. You need to be a fluent speaker of Italian. That said, I don't speak Italian, so you maky have better luck asking on w:it:Discussioni utente:Mastrocom.<span id="Qwerfjkl:1695757555182:User_talkFTTCLNQwerfjkl" class="FTTCmt"> — Qwerfjkl  talk  19:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I am a fluent italian speaker and I checked the text also with some other native friends. Therefore, I believe that there is no issue about the translation quality. I have already wrote to mastrocom. Is there any other thing which I can do in case I do not recieve any reply from her part? WormwoodMatilda (talk) 19:52, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @WormwoodMatilda, there isn't much more I can help you with. The Italian Wikipedia community has different rules from the English one, so you'd do better to inquire over there.<span id="Qwerfjkl:1695759349676:User_talkFTTCLNQwerfjkl" class="FTTCmt"> — Qwerfjkl  talk  20:15, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
