Welcome to my talk page. Leave all messages here. Messages are archived in the archives above. I will attempt to respond promptly if I'm online. Please don't vandalize this page. It's annoying to clean. New users should go to Simple talk for assistance.

Hi, Derp. "Oops" is not a valid explanation of why this page should be deleted for housekeeping reasons. Can you explain what happened here? Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 21:43, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
- I accidentally nominated the page when an active rfd for it was already running. Derpdart56 (talk) 14:29, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

- At Wikidata, an interwiki link can now point to a redirect page if certain conditions are met. This new feature is called sitelinks to redirects. It is needed when one wiki uses one page to cover multiple concepts but another wiki uses more pages to cover the same concepts. Your feedback on the talkpage of the new proposed guideline is welcome. [1]
- The www.wikinews.org, www.wikiversity.org, and www.wikivoyage.org portal pages now use an automated update system. [2]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 November. It will be on all wikis from 17 November (calendar).- There will be a new link to directly "Edit template data" on Template pages. [3]
The Future changes
Wikis where mobile DiscussionTools are enabled (these ones) will soon use full CSS styling to display any templates that are placed at the top of talk pages. To adapt these “talk page boxes” for narrow mobile devices you can use media queries, such as in this example. [4]- Starting in January 2023, Community Tech will be running the Community Wishlist Survey (CWS) every two years. This means that in 2024, there will be no new proposals or voting.
