Problems

Changes later this week

  • You can soon use Wikidata to link to pages on the multilingual Wikisource. [2]
  • Often editors use a "non-breaking space" to make a gap between two items when reading but still show them together. This can be used to avoid a line break. You will now be able to add new ones via the special character tool in the 2010, 2017, and visual editors. The character will be shown in the visual editor as a space with a grey background. [3][4]
  • Advanced item Wikis use abuse filters to stop bad edits being made. Filter maintainers can now use syntax like 1.2.3.4 - 1.2.3.55 as well as the 1.2.3.4/27 syntax for IP ranges. [5]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 February. It will be on all wikis from 4 February (calendar).

Future changes

  • Minerva is the skin Wikimedia wikis use for mobile traffic. When a page is protected and you can't edit it you can normally read the source wikicode. This doesn't work on Minerva on mobile devices. This is being fixed. Some text might overlap. This is because your community needs to update MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext to work on mobile. You can read more. [6][7]
  • Advanced item Cloud VPS and Toolforge will change the IP address they use to contact the wikis. The new IP address will be 185.15.56.1. This will happen on February 8. You can read more.

Recent changes

Changes later this week

  • You can see edits to chosen pages on Special:Watchlist. You can add pages to your watchlist on every wiki you like. The GlobalWatchlist extension will come to Meta on 11 February. There you can see entries on watched pages on different wikis on the same page. The new watchlist will be found on Special:GlobalWatchlist on Meta. You can choose which wikis to watch and other preferences on Special:GlobalWatchlistSettings on Meta. You can watch up to five wikis. [9]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 February. It will be on all wikis from 11 February (calendar).

Future changes

  • When admins protect pages the form will use the OOUI look. Special:Import will also get the new look. This will make them easier to use on mobile phones. [10][11]
  • Some services will not work for a short period of time from 07:00 UTC on 17 February. There might be problems with new short links, new translations, new notifications, adding new items to your reading lists or recording email bounces. This is because of database maintenance. [12]
  • Advanced item Last week Tech News reported that the IP address Cloud VPS and Toolforge use to contact the wikis will change on 8 February. This is delayed. It will happen later instead. [13]

Not much... All the phrasing and stuff looks like an ad. Are you a paid editor, by chance? Derpdart56 (talk) 16:11, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Haaaaaaaaa did you see my English ? my English is very weak and how i can became a paid editor ?

...there's not much to the article unfortunately and even if it wasn't g11, it would probably be a4, not notable. Derpdart56 (talk) 16:16, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Talk pages

Hello. Btw, you can use DannyS712's reset talk script to reset bad talk pages before marking them for QD. --Belwine • 💬 • 📜 16:21, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Derpdart56 (talk) 16:22, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's fine. I think QD is the right solution at this point, but you can use the reset talk script to easily reset the talk page before. Thanks, Belwine • 💬 • 📜 16:23, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Good-faith" edits

Please be very careful with what you mark as good-faith using Twinkle.
What you reverted as good-faith was absolutely not, and you even welcomed the user. —Belwine (talk) 16:42, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
