== NOP for 152.58.93.148 ? ==
== Fishes ==


HI I see you did not implement my requested move for ''Yunnanilus nigromaculatus'' to ''Eonemachilus nigromaculatus''. The relevant project [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fishes#Taxonomy|WP:Fishes]] agreed in October this year that the taxonomy used in fish articles, for taxa below the level of order, should follow ''[[Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes]]''. That is what I was doing in this case. I have re-requested the move.
[https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-ip-lookup-proxy-vpn-test/lookup/152.58.93.148#lookup IP 152.58.93.148 Doesn't seem to be an Open Proxy] [[User:Momosixer|Momosixer]] ([[User talk:Momosixer|talk]]) 11:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)


Can you tell me why the original request was not implemented? [[User:Quetzal1964|Quetzal1964]] ([[User talk:Quetzal1964|talk]]) 09:22, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
:@[[User:Momosixer|Momosixer]] I am using the information provided through [[:mw:Extension:IPInfo]]. Currently it shows some proxy activity.

:::From my own tests, it is highly unlikely that 152.58.93.148 is a webhost or a proxy. Your 1 year block seems unwarranted. [[User:Momosixer|Momosixer]] ([[User talk:Momosixer|talk]]) 12:21, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Quetzal1964|Quetzal1964]] those are contested as seen at [[Special:Permalink/1261835653]]. I routinely clear out requests with no activity in the last three days as stale. However, I missed out on your latest comment it seems. If you don't mind, I will restore the previous requests since there's some activity discussion.

'''Updates for editors'''
* Two new parser functions were added this week. The <code dir="ltr"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#interwikilink|#interwikilink]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> function adds an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links#Interwiki links|interwiki link]] and the <code dir="ltr"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#interlanguagelink|#interlanguagelink]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> function adds an [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links#Interlanguage links|interlanguage link]]. These parser functions are useful on wikis where namespaces conflict with interwiki prefixes. For example, links beginning with <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>MOS:</code></bdi> on English Wikipedia [[phab:T363538|conflict with the <code>mos</code> language code prefix of Mooré Wikipedia]].
* Starting this week, Wikimedia wikis no longer support connections using old RSA-based HTTPS certificates, specifically rsa-2048. This change is to improve security for all users. Some older, unsupported browser or smartphone devices will be unable to connect; Instead, they will display a connectivity error. See the [[wikitech:HTTPS/Browser_Recommendations|HTTPS Browser Recommendations page]] for more-detailed information. All modern operating systems and browsers are always able to reach Wikimedia projects. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/CTYEHVNSXUD3NFAAMG3BLZVTVQWJXJAH/]
* Starting December 16, Flow/Structured Discussions pages will be automatically archived and set to read-only at the following wikis: <bdi>arwiki</bdi>{{int:comma-separator/en}}<bdi>cawiki</bdi>{{int:comma-separator/en}}<bdi>frwiki</bdi>{{int:comma-separator/en}}<bdi>mediawikiwiki</bdi>{{int:comma-separator/en}}<bdi>orwiki</bdi>{{int:comma-separator/en}}<bdi>wawiki</bdi>{{int:comma-separator/en}}<bdi>wawiktionary</bdi>{{int:comma-separator/en}}<bdi>wikidatawiki</bdi>{{int:comma-separator/en}}<bdi>zhwiki</bdi>. This is done as part of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured_Discussions/Deprecation|StructuredDiscussions deprecation work]]. If you need any assistance to archive your page in advance, please contact [[m:User:Trizek (WMF)|Trizek (WMF)]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380910]
* This month the Chart extension was deployed to production and is now available on Commons and Testwiki. With the security review complete, pilot wiki deployment is expected to start in the first week of December. You can see a working version [[testwiki:Charts|on Testwiki]] and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|the November project update]] for more details.
* View all {{formatnum:23}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:23|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, a bug with the "Download as PDF" system was fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T376438]


:@[[User:Typo slayer|Typo slayer]] If the subject is still alive, you will need to find a copyright-free or creative commons (by-sa) version and upload to [[:c:Commons]] first, as we have a strict interpretation of what non-free content can be used at [[WP:NFCC]]. Therefore, you cannot just get from anywhere, but instead find specifically on Flickr or even YouTube. For example, [[Ix Shen]], I cannot use his image from [https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/year-witnessing-ukraine-invasion-ix-shen-home-warn-drills-reality-war-2115141 todayonline] or [https://www.instagram.com/ixshen/?hl=en his instagram], but it was possible to get an updated image via [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgAkYDuGPzU a podcast on YouTube] as it is labelled with "Creative Commons Attribution licence (reuse allowed)". If the subject is dead, and there is a already a copyright-free/cc-licensed image, the only way to replace it would be finding another copyright-free/cc-licensed image. [[User:Robertsky|– robertsky]] ([[User talk:Robertsky#top|talk]]) 14:37, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* In late February, temporary accounts will be rolled out on at least 10 large wikis. This deployment will have a significant effect on the community-maintained code. This is about Toolforge tools, bots, gadgets, and user scripts that use IP address data or that are available for logged-out users. The Trust and Safety Product team wants to identify this code, monitor it, and assist in updating it ahead of the deployment to minimize disruption to workflows. The team asks technical editors and volunteer developers to help identify such tools by adding them to [[mw:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers/Impacted tools|this list]]. In addition, review the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|updated documentation]] to learn how to adjust the tools. Join the discussions on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|project talk page]] or in the [[discord:channels/221049808784326656/1227616742340034722|dedicated thread]] on the [[w:Wikipedia:Discord|Wikimedia Community Discord server (in English)]] for support and to share feedback.

== Question from [[User:Shollyk Smart|Shollyk Smart]] (08:18, 3 December 2024) ==
* Technical documentation contributors can find updated resources, and new ways to connect with each other and the Wikimedia Technical Documentation Team, at the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Documentation|Documentation hub]] on MediaWiki.org. This page links to: resources for writing and improving documentation, a new <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr">#wikimedia-techdocs</bdi> IRC channel on libera.chat, a listing of past and upcoming documentation events, and ways to request a documentation consultation or review. If you have any feedback or ideas for improvements to the documentation ecosystem, please [[mw:Wikimedia Technical Documentation Team#Contact us|contact the Technical Documentation Team]].


'''Updates for editors'''
How can I start my legacy introduction as a musician --[[User:Shollyk Smart|Shollyk Smart]] ([[User talk:Shollyk Smart|talk]]) 08:18, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
[[File:Edit Check on Desktop.png|thumb|Layout change for the Edit Check feature]]
* Later this week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check|Edit Check]] will be relocated to a sidebar on desktop. Edit check is the feature for new editors to help them follow policies and guidelines. This layout change creates space to present people with [[mw:Edit check#1 November 2024|new Checks]] that appear ''while'' they are typing. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit check#Reference Check A/B Test|initial results]] show newcomers encountering Edit Check are 2.2 times more likely to publish a new content edit that includes a reference and is not reverted.
* The Chart extension, which enables editors to create data visualizations, was successfully made available on MediaWiki.org and three pilot wikis (Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedias). You can see a working examples [[testwiki:Charts|on Testwiki]] and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project/Updates|the November project update]] for more details.
* Translators in wikis where the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation/Section translation#Try the tool|mobile experience of Content Translation is available]], can now discover articles in Wikiproject campaigns of their interest from the "[https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ContentTranslation&campaign=specialcx&filter-type=automatic&filter-id=collections&active-list=suggestions&from=es&to=en All collection]" category in the articles suggestion feature. Wikiproject Campaign organizers can use this feature, to help translators to discover articles of interest, by adding the <code dir=ltr><nowiki><page-collection> </page-collection></nowiki></code> tag to their campaign article list page on Meta-wiki. This will make those articles discoverable in the Content Translation tool. For more detailed information on how to use the tool and tag, please refer to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Translation suggestions: Topic-based & Community-defined lists/How to use the features|the step-by-step guide]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378958]
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Nuke|Nuke]] feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, now has a [[phab:T376379#10310998|multiselect filter for namespace selection]]. This enables users to select multiple specific namespaces, instead of only one or all, when fetching pages for deletion.
* The Nuke feature also now [[phab:T364225#10371365|provides links]] to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions. Thanks to Chlod and the Moderator Tools team for both of these improvements. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T364225#10371365]
* The Editing Team is working on making it easier to populate citations from archive.org using the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|Citoid]] tool, the auto-filled citation generator. They are asking communities to add two parameters preemptively, <code dir=ltr>archiveUrl</code> and <code dir=ltr>archiveDate</code>, within the TemplateData for each citation template using Citoid. You can see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACite_web%2Fdoc&diff=1261320172&oldid=1260788022 example of a change in a template], and a [https://global-search.toolforge.org/?namespaces=10&q=%5C%22citoid%5C%22%3A%20%5C%7B&regex=1&title= list of all relevant templates]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374831]
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikivoyage}} in [[d:Q9240|Indonesian]] ([[voy:id:|<code>voy:id:</code>]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380726]
* Last week, all wikis had problems serving pages to logged-in users and some logged-out users for 30–45 minutes. This was caused by a database problem, and investigation is ongoing. [https://www.wikimediastatus.net/incidents/3g2ckc7bp6l9]

For example, a bug in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Add a link|Add Link]] feature has been fixed. Previously, the list of sections which are excluded from Add Link was partially ignored in certain cases. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380455][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T380329]


'''Updates for technical contributors'''
== Reverted 3 edits by Justice Chawla ==
* [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Codex|Codex]], the design system for Wikimedia, now has an early-stage [[git:design/codex-php|implementation in PHP]]. It is available for general use in MediaWiki extensions and Toolforge apps through [https://packagist.org/packages/wikimedia/codex Composer], with use in MediaWiki core coming soon. More information is available in [[wmdoc:design-codex-php/main/index.html|the documentation]]. Thanks to Doğu for the inspiration and many contributions to the library. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T379662]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/ Wikimedia REST API] users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. On December 4, the MediaWiki Interfaces team began rerouting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content endpoints on [[testwiki:|testwiki]] from RESTbase to comparable MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The team encourages active users of these endpoints to verify their tool's behavior on testwiki and raise any concerns on the related [[phab:T374683|Phabricator ticket]] before the end of the year, as they intend to roll out the same change across all Wikimedia projects in early January. These changes are part of the work to replace the outdated [[mw:RESTBase/deprecation|RESTBase]] system.
* The [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/986172 2024 Developer Satisfaction Survey] is seeking the opinions of the Wikimedia developer community. Please take the survey if you have any role in developing software for the Wikimedia ecosystem. The survey is open until 3 January 2025, and has an associated [[foundation:Legal:Developer Satisfaction Survey 2024 Privacy Statement|privacy statement]].
* There is no new MediaWiki version this week. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar]


'''Meetings and events'''
Hi, you said "Reverted 3 edits by Justice Chawla (talk): The sitting judge shouldn't be commenting here at risk of fouling up the legal process". This is not a good reason to revert these, if this was the judge it is their business if they want to foul up the process or not, but none of our business. However, a good reason to remove these is because we have no idea if they are the judge or (more likely) someone impersonating them. If something like this happens again, please use the right description of why the comments get removed. [[WP:NLT]] would have been a good reason as well. [[User:Fram|Fram]] ([[User talk:Fram|talk]]) 08:38, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
* The next meeting in the series of [[c:Commons:WMF support for Commons/Commons community calls|Wikimedia Foundation discussions with the Wikimedia Commons community]] will take place on [[m:Event:Commons community discussion - 12 December 2024 08:00 UTC|December 12 at 8:00 UTC]] and [[m:Event:Commons community discussion - 12_December 2024 16:00 UTC|at 16:00 UTC]]. The topic of this call is new media and new contributors. Contributors from all wikis are welcome to attend.

:@[[User:Fram|Fram]] Indeed, I could have been more accurate with the edit summary. The reversion was primarily due to impersonation concerns, of which I had blocked the account for at the same time, and I should have added that in the edit summary as well.

==Query==
Hello, Robertsky,

I was looking at an AFD tagged by a new editor, {{noping|Dmitry Bobriakov}}, and their User page states they are a member of {{tq|English Wikipedia conflict of interest volunteer response team}}. I was unfamiliar with this group so I went to [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Conflict of interest reports]] and saw your name listed so I'm coming to you. I was wondering if you could tell me more about this "team", who is on it and what it does. Thanks for any insight. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 01:41, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
:Ooops! It looks like I already asked the editor about this on their User talk page back in October. But I'd still like to get your feedback on this. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 01:44, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
::@[[User:Liz|Liz]], the COIVRT team arose from [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Cases/2024#April]] case, in which there were private information being used to investigate into a COI issue involving an admin. After the case, the COIVRT mailing list was established. Admins can apply to the ArbCom to access it and also work on the reports there. Other than applying for access, other admins holding CU rights and on the Arbcom as well may access it. As such, other than the 4 admins listed on the page, CUs and ArbCom members have access as well. If the ArbCom elections is in your favour, you will also have access.
::If the COIVRT report warrants it, we may block accounts while tagging the block with <nowiki>[[ticket:2024xxx]] COIVRT</nowiki> or similar in the block log message. We don't do this often as this meant that whatever unblock decisions needed to be made, it will be restricted to only a few admins as the block decision is based on the correspondence.
::To my knowledge, the editor in question is not a member of the team. The editor might have submitted reports via the email which may have been handled and closed before I came onboard recently. Their userpage stated that they are "a volunteer who together with the team..." (shortened for brevity) sounds about right as it can be read that they are interested in hunting down COI editors and then sending the reports over for the team to review, akin to an editor reporting suspected socks at SPI then the SPI clerks/admins/CUs work on the report or one working on persistent copyright infringements by others. It just sounds... fluffy ([[WP:PROMO]] much?). [[User:Robertsky|– robertsky]] ([[User talk:Robertsky#top|talk]]) 04:11, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

== Fishes ==

HI I see you did not implement my requested move for ''Yunnanilus nigromaculatus'' to ''Eonemachilus nigromaculatus''. The relevant project [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fishes#Taxonomy|WP:Fishes]] agreed in October this year that the taxonimy used in fish articles, for taxa below the level of order, should follow ''[[Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes]]''. That is what I was doing in this case. I have re-requested the move.

Can you tell me why the original request was not implemented? [[User:Quetzal1964|Quetzal1964]] ([[User talk:Quetzal1964|talk]]) 09:22, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

The relevant project WP:Fishes agreed in October this year that the taxonomy used in fish articles, for taxa below the level of order, should follow Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes.

@Quetzal1964 those are contested as seen at Special:Permalink/1261835653. I routinely clear out requests with no activity in the last three days as stale. However, I missed out on your latest comment it seems. If you don't mind, I will restore the previous requests since there's some activity discussion. – robertsky (talk) 10:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Typo slayer (14:16, 9 December 2024)

[edit]

Hi, i wanted to ask you how to upload profile image to someone's biography article. Like what are restrictions. Can i get the image from anywhere (news article or social media site) to upload? --Typo slayer (talk) 14:16, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Typo slayer If the subject is still alive, you will need to find a copyright-free or creative commons (by-sa) version and upload to c:Commons first, as we have a strict interpretation of what non-free content can be used at WP:NFCC. Therefore, you cannot just get from anywhere, but instead find specifically on Flickr or even YouTube. For example, Ix Shen, I cannot use his image from todayonline or his instagram, but it was possible to get an updated image via a podcast on YouTube as it is labelled with "Creative Commons Attribution licence (reuse allowed)". If the subject is dead, and there is a already a copyright-free/cc-licensed image, the only way to replace it would be finding another copyright-free/cc-licensed image. – robertsky (talk) 14:37, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
