Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-15
| The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!  Operation Kraai (Operation Crow) was a Dutch military offensive against the de facto Republic of Indonesia in December 1948 after negotiations failed. With the advantage of surprise the Dutch managed to capture the Indonesian Republic's temporary capital, Yogyakarta, and seized Indonesian leaders such as de facto Republican President Sukarno. This apparent military success was however followed by guerrilla warfare, while the violation of the Renville Agreement ceasefire diplomatically isolated the Dutch, leading to the Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference and recognition of the United States of Indonesia.

Recent changes
- Web browsers can use tools called extensions. There is now a Chrome extension called Citation Needed which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
A new Edit Recovery feature has been added to all wikis, available as a user preference. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the project talk page. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.- Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [4][5]
- Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [6]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (calendar). [7][8]
- New accounts and logged-out users will get the visual editor as their default editor on mobile. This deployment is made at all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. [9]

Problems
- Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [10][11]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [12][13]
- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [14]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_agewill be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [15]
Future changes
- Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filterandabuse_filter_historytables. Some queries might need to be updated. [16]

- This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of Special:MyPage/vector.js to Special:MyPage/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [21]

Weird templates
Articles like Elliot Rodger, Peter Rodger, and Soumaya Akaaboune all have this weird template I don't know how to remove. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 16:28, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- There a lot of articles like that. Look what I found: Category:Pages from Ohio I put it up for QD 84Swagahh (talk) 16:29, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Shoot for the Stars and 84Swagahh: The changes all appear to have resulted from vandalism to Template:Aligned table, which is itself used on many templates, such as {{birth date and age}}. I have fully protected the template as a high-risk template, to prevent this from occuring again in the future. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 20:23, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
User:Rajanyas
@Ferien sir, This @Rajanyas user has been blocked from English Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rajanyas. So please block this account from here also. Hcsrctu (talk) 06:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hcsrctu, a user simply being blocked on the English Wikipedia is not grounds for blocking on this Wikipedia. We have the "one-strike" rule on this wiki that means less warning is required for users causing issues, however none of their edits have been reverted or appear to be issues as of right now. None of the other sockpuppets on the English Wikipedia have been blocked here either. So this editor will not be blocked, unless they start causing issues. --Ferien (talk) 20:17, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- hello, @Ferien. You look at his edits, Rajput, Chandel, Rajputization he added copied material from English Wiki which cannot be accepted here. And he has removed reliable/sourced/information. And he only does vandalism in articles, that's why he is blocked from English Wiki. Hcsrctu (talk) 14:54, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Inception
Hi, would you consider Inception to be complex? Kk.urban (talk) 21:27, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
