The sock

Can you revoke talk page access too please? I reverted it and it contains racist remarks so possible OS needed. Also can you adjust your archive settings? There is a lot on here especially with the huge pictures and on mobile it’s hard to get to something:) Thanks!

@PotsdamLamb: Which sock is this, sorry? --Ferien (talk) 08:58, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

The HI person whom you just reverted saying let an admin review the unblock request which was not a request. It’s a racist remark so it’s not an unblock request. Thanks PDL^{Talk to me!}_{OMG, What have I done?} (Pronouns: He, him, his) 09:01, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: here? From what I can tell, it's just nonsense being typed, which is inappropriate for an unblock request, but not inappropriate enough for RevDel. --Ferien (talk) 09:04, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Yes I mixed that up. It was the other one but yes that’s the one which is why I blanked the page. Because it’s putting it in a category it should not be in since no actual unblock request was made. PDL^{Talk to me!}_{OMG, What have I done?} (Pronouns: He, him, his) 09:12, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I've seen more unusual unblock requests at meta, including some really unusual ones like "1234" or "PLEASE UNBLOCK ME SO I CAN VANDALISE", but it is up to the admin to unblock, and blanking the page is never a good idea. SHB2000 (talk) 09:49, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Late congrats

Hi, so glad to see you elected as a sysop, you had indeed came a long way from the early days. Sorry I am too busy to participate in your RFA, happy mopping and take care. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey Camouflaged Mirage, thanks for the message. It's great to see you around again! :) --Ferien (talk) 15:08, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Tech News: 2021-36

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

• The wikis that have Growth features deployed have been part of A/B testing since deployment, in which some newcomers did not receive the new features. Now, all of the newcomers on 21 of the smallest of those wikis will be receiving the features. [1]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

• In 2017, the provided jQuery library was upgraded from version 1 to 3, with a compatibility layer. The migration will soon finish, to make the site load faster for everyone. If you maintain a gadget or user script, check if you have any JQMIGRATE errors and fix them, or they will break. [2][3]
• Last year, the Portuguese Wikipedia community embarked on an experiment to make log-in compulsory for editing.  The impact report of this trial is ready. Moving forward, the Anti-Harassment Tools team is looking for projects that are willing to experiment with restricting IP editing on their wiki for a short-term experiment. Learn more.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2021-37

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award (ko:황연대 성취상) Please be bold and help translate this article! The Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award is named after South Korean Dr. Whang Youn Dai, who contracted polio at the age of three. She devoted her life to the development of paralympic sport in Korea and around the world. At the 1988 Paralympic Summer Games in Seoul, Korea, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) recognized her lifelong contributions to the Paralympic Movement and established the Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award (formerly the Whang Youn Dai Overcome Prize). Since then, this award has been presented at every Paralympic Games to one male and one female athlete who each "best exemplify the spirit of the Games and inspire and excite the world".

Sir I don’t think this page should be delete - https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohit_Churiwal Aagamjot (talk) 03:47, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Aagamjot, the page was at requests for deletion, where the consensus was to delete. Please see the request here: Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2021/Mohit Churiwal. Please respect the consensus of the request for deletion and do not recreate the page. Thank you. --Ferien (talk) 06:18, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

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

• 45 new Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features. [4]
• A majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features. The Growth team has published an FAQ page about the features. This translatable FAQ covers the description of the features, how to use them, how to change the configuration, and more.

Problems

• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 14 September. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. [5]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 September. It will be on all wikis from 16 September (calendar).
• Starting this week, Wikipedia in Italian will receive weekly software updates on Wednesdays. It used to receive the updates on Thursdays. Due to this change, bugs will be noticed and fixed sooner. [6]
• You can add language links in the sidebar in the new Vector skin again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet. [7]
• The syntax highlight tool marks up code with different colours. It now can highlight 23 new code languages. Additionally, golang can now be used as an alias for the Go programming language, and a special output mode has been added to show a program's output. [8][9]

Could you check my request at RFP on rollback?

I posted a request there but it seems to have been ignored. Could you check there? SoyokoAnis - talk 16:27, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

SoyokoAnis, sometimes RFPs are left unanswered for a little while, it doesn't necessarily mean they are ignored. I have marked your request as "Not done" for now, but please don't be discouraged. Your anti-vandalism work is certainly appreciated, I would just like to see a little more before granting rollback. Best regards, --Ferien (talk) 20:53, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

here

Thank you 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 19:21, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

this is how they fixed the problem on Test wiki. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 19:21, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

RFD Process Twinkle

Hello Dear @Ferien i can't Nominate this article for RFD, Error Message:Adding deletion tag to article: Failed to retrieve edit token.

did i make a mistake? 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 20:03, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Sakura emad, no, you didn't make a mistake. It's another bug I think. I haven't been able to delete pages or warn users with Twinkle either, so I don't think Twinkle can do anything right now. --Ferien (talk) 20:07, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

😥 so things must be done manually. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 20:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Indeed. Nominating articles for deletion isn't too complicated without Twinkle, though. See Wikipedia:Requests for deletion#Discussed deletion. Ferien (talk) 20:10, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
