Question from Waterhelix (12:43, 19 September 2024)
[edit]hi
do you know how to make a wiki page? --Waterhelix (talk) 12:43, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Waterhelix, Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read WP:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out WP:TUTORIAL; it's a lot of fun! Happy editing! — Qwerfjkltalk 16:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
What's your name --Mubaraak (talk) 13:32, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- On Wikipedia, it's Qwerfjkl. — Qwerfjkltalk 13:47, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Question from Cindyx2 on Florence, South Carolina (15:05, 21 September 2024)
[edit]Need to add a notable person Jolette Law to Florence, SC https://wpde.com/amp/news/local/florence-honors-jolette-law-for-outstanding-basketball-achievements --Cindyx2 (talk) 15:05, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-39
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday September 25 at 15:00 UTC. Reading the wikis will not be interrupted, but editing will be paused. These twice-yearly processes allow WMF's site reliability engineering teams to remain prepared to keep the wikis functioning even in the event of a major interruption to one of our data centers.
Updates for editors
- Editors who use the iOS Wikipedia app in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Chinese, may see the Alt Text suggested-edit experiment after editing an article, or completing a suggested edit using "Add an image". Alt-text helps people with visual impairments to read Wikipedia articles. The team aims to learn if adding alt-text to images is a task that editors can be successful with. Please share any feedback on the discussion page.
- The Codex color palette has been updated with new and revised colors for the MediaWiki user interfaces. The most noticeable changes for editors include updates for: dark mode colors for Links and for quiet Buttons (progressive and destructive), visited Link colors for both light and dark modes, and background colors for system-messages in both light and dark modes.
It is now possible to include clickable wikilinks and external links inside code blocks. This includes links that are used within <syntaxhighlight>tags and on code pages (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto and Sanitized CSS). Uses of template syntax{{…}}are also linked to the template page. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [1]- Two bugs were fixed in the GlobalVanishRequest system by improving the logging and by removing an incorrect placeholder message. [2][3]
- View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Updates for technical contributors
- From Wikimedia Enterprise:
- The API now enables 5,000 on-demand API requests per month and twice-monthly HTML snapshots freely (gratis and libre). More information on the updates and also improvements to the software development kits (SDK) are explained on the project's blog post. While Wikimedia Enterprise APIs are designed for high-volume commercial reusers, this change enables many more community use-cases to be built on the service too.
- The Snapshot API (html dumps) have added beta Structured Contents endpoints (blog post on that) as well as released two beta datasets (English and French Wikipedia) from that endpoint to Hugging Face for public use and feedback (blog post on that). These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.
In depth
- The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) is used to get answers to questions using the Wikidata data set. As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the WDQS Graph Split project, we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the "scholarly" and "main" subgraphs of Wikidata. The query.wikidata.org endpoint will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph. For more information, please see the announcement on Wikidata.

signature lints
[edit]Hello. I hope you are doing well. After Qwerfjkl (bot) 31, I am wondering, how do you create page list for pywikibot script? —usernamekiran (talk) 16:23, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- Usernamekiran, for that I used:Using a text file that I created manually — Qwerfjkltalk 17:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
parsed_data = parse_text_file(file_path) titles=[] for entry in parsed_data: gen = pagegenerators.SearchPageGenerator(entry['search_url'], site=site) print(f"Searching for {entry['search_url']}") for title in gen: titles.append(title) titles = list(set(titles)) print(len(titles))
- thanks, this is appreciated a lot. One more silly question: how many cases are you going to handle? The list at Wikipedia:Linter/Signature submissions looks pretty big. I am happy to help. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:32, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- Usernamekiran, I just copy & pasted all the ones that hand replacements into a text file (about 40, I think). — Qwerfjkltalk 06:17, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- dang. Let me know if some task comes up. I would be happy to help. —usernamekiran (talk) 14:13, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Usernamekiran, I was thinking of making a website to make submissions easier. A lot of linter errors are repeated, and we can use parsoid to verify the output text has no lint errors.Currently I'm working on something like toolforge:yabbr but for bare URLs. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:02, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Is my Wikipedia page up for review right now? I’m not to sure if I submitted properly. I am a professional hockey player and I would like to have mine available for the public to see --Jhendy97 (talk) 21:37, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Jhendy97, I suggest reading Wikipedia:Autobiography. It is strongly discouraged here to write about yourself. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:56, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where...
[edit]- Copied from Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous) § 'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where... because this page is listed on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Subscribe.
Hello everyone, a small change will soon be coming to the user-interface of your Wikimedia project. The Wikidata item sitelink currently found under the General section of the Tools sidebar menu will move into the In Other Projects section.
We would like the Wiki communities feedback so please let us know or ask questions on the Discussion page before we enable the change which can take place October 4 2024, circa 15:00 UTC+2.
More information can be found on the project page.
We welcome your feedback and questions.

Mass RM CfD
[edit]How do users mass rename CfD properly? Because when nominating, it lacks the title I want to change them into. --MikutoH talk! 01:21, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- MikutoH, when you're listing the titles, use | followed by the title you want to rename them to, e.g. Category:Example|Category:Target — Qwerfjkltalk 17:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
