Consensus
Is there really consensus to change " " to " "?

I prefer the first to the second.

Also must we really have a line break after the headings? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:32, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, . Having a space before the trailing slash is standard stuff. For a few reasons. Firstly, it makes the coding more readable, especially for low vision editors. The space used to be required to ensure HTML parsers treated the trailing slash as an unrecognised attribute. It in essence constitutes syntax to promote transparency towards the semantics of the wikikicode tags. The trailing slash creates a self-closing tag. Before the space is what does the magic, and the forward slash instructs the magic to cease. You may notice that if you leave the trailing slash out complete that it throws a huge green error in the references section. Read up on HTML, XHTML, and XML W3C.


 * By the way, " " is similar, but not identical to " "


 * It is a shortcut to a similar end.


 * As for the line feeds, start a new section on a talk page, and you will see that the system always throws in a line feed above a section header, and one right below it. This also helps our low-vision editors. The one above the section header helps the system not get grumpy and lose track of where a new section starts. Having fun! Cheers!  06:55, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I guess. Hum. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 15:20, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, . One more thing. Open your text editor, and paste this in:
 * Then, click on the little broom icon in your text editor and see what happens. I would say that there was a huge consensus to add that broom. Just sayin' - Having fun! Cheers!  09:24, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Were is this broom? I do not see it. Is it a special add on? Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 18:44, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, . I have the Vector skin (default) installed. I see the broom icon in the text editor. There is a band of buttons and drop-downs: bold, italics, broom, signature/timestamp, link, embedded file, smart linking, advanced drop-down, special characters drop-down, help drop-down, cite drop-down. The broom is right above the drop-down box for Templates. Having fun! Cheers!  19:04, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I do not have have it. Can you provide a screenshot? What does the broom do? Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 21:32, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * [[File:Wikipedia text editor screenshot example of buttons including the auto-format broom icon.png|thumb|auto-format]]Hi, . I have outlined the broom in red. There is also a tool-tip on a mouse hover (also outlined in red): the broom icons official name is auto-format - see the tool-tip. Having fun! Cheers!   23:28, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay I so not have that. Not sure why. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 00:55, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Can you please stop adding all the line breaks to medical articles. Are at least get consensus from those who work on the content in question. Thanks Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 18:01, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-50
 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
 * URLs that link to sections on Wikimedia wikis with non-Latin scripts have looked like this:  instead of  . This has now been fixed on all wikis. Old links will still work.
 * A new tag marks edits where a redirect was created or removed. This still works when the editor writes something else in the edit summary. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist.
 * If you use Chrome on Android, you can now use the print to PDF button to create a PDF of an article.
 * Filter by number of edits or filter by time range have been grouped on a same menu on the recent changes page if you use the new filters. The "" link is now more prominent.
 * Some of the web fonts that were provided by the Universal Language Selector extension are being removed. This is to reduce the load time on pages. The web fonts were added many years ago to help users read text in scripts which did not have fonts or had broken fonts. This is not the case any more. You can check the status page for a list of all web fonts and whether they are currently being used and especially for special requirements.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 December. It will be on all wikis from 14 December (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 December at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * You can discuss new or improved blocking tools with the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team. They will work on building better blocking tools. Leave comments on the talk page.

Tech News: 2017-51
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News
 * Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2018.

Problems
 * When you import a page from another wiki the usernames of the users who edited the article on the wiki you imported it from are shown in the article history. This should link to the users on the original wiki. A script to fix this caused problems for Wikidata and German Wikipedia. It also created a large number of SUL accounts on wikis where editors had never edited.
 * Some bot owners got email about their bots logging in from a new computer. If this is from one or a couple of wikis, you can turn these messages off in your preferences on those wikis until the problem has been solved. If not, you can report more about the problem in Phabricator.

Changes later this week
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week. There will be no new MediaWiki version next week either.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Files on Commons will have structured metadata in the future. The developers are now looking for examples of different kinds of metadata to make sure they are aware of them when they build prototypes for structured data on Commons. You can read more and help by giving examples of interesting media files.
 * The Structured Commons team are making sure Commons work with structured data. If you regularly contribute to Commons and Wikidata you can answer a survey that helps the team prioritise the tools that are important for the Commons and Wikidata communities. The survey ends on 22 December. You can read more on Commons. You can also help the team decide on better names for "captions" and "descriptions". This ends on 3 January 2018.
 * The 2017 Community Wishlist Survey has now ended. You can see the results. They decide what the Community Tech team will work on next year.

 * LiveUpdates have been deployed as a default feature for all wikis.
 * On wikis using Extension:Translate, translated messages can now be filtered. System messages can be filtered as well, on all wikis.
 * "" link is now more prominent, to invite users to use that native feature to update the list of results.
 * Pagination and time period selectors are now combined and located on the right on left-to-right wikis.
 * When a user wanted to click outside of the filter menu to close it, it was possible to click on "revert" link by accident. It is not possible anymore.
 * It is now possible to filter the following events using the Tags menu: Making a page a redirect, Changing redirect target, Changing an existing redirect into a non-redirect, Blanking of the page, Removing more than 90% of a page content, Rolling back an edit.

 * More space is given to the language filter, to increase responsiveness and show more language names without truncation.
 * While searching for a new page to translate, duplicates are not shown anymore for user search input.
 * Various PHP warnings and JavaScript errors have been fixed.

Structured discussions [ More information • Help pages ]


 * It is now possible to use Special:Nuke on hidden Structured discussion topics.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Hello, Checkingfax – I was just reading the article about the song It Came Upon the Midnight Clear, and I made a few copy-edits. I saw a sentence with an external link in it at the end of the It Came Upon the Midnight Clear section. I don't know what to do with it. Can you take a look at it? Thanks. – Corinne (talk) 01:44, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, . In this case, I unlinked it, cleaned it up a bit here, and expanded it a bit, and created an external links section here. It is late, and my word choices may be improved. Please double check my work. Thank you for asking! I made some of my standard cleanup and accessibility edits too. Having fun! Cheers!  13:28, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

New Year's resolution: Write more articles for Women in Red!

Hilton Hotels & Resorts
Hello, Checkingfax – I was just looking at the latest  to Hilton Hotels & Resorts, and I see an editor moved several images to the left side. Since I use a laptop, I keep my screen set at 125% resolution. At that resolution, the text is squeezed into a narrow column between images at the left and the right. At 110%, it's not so bad, but the text is still in a narrow column in the middle of the page (in "Notable events"). At 100%, it's all right, I suppose. What do you think? I also think the image at the left of the Hilton Hanoi Opera hotel is a little large.

On a different issue, I thought Wikipedia deprecated lists as a substitute for prose. See Manual of Style/Lists and Manual of Style/Embedded lists. Do you think the list in Notable events section qualifies as an appropriate embedded list? In that last section of the Manual of Style, we read:

Lists of works of individuals or groups, such as bibliographies, discographies, filmographies, album personnel and track listings, as well as timelines or chronologies, are typically presented in simple list format, though it is expected that the information will be supported elsewhere in the article by prose analysis of the main points, and that if the lists become unwieldy, they are split off into stand-alone lists per WP:Summary style. [emphasis mine]
