Reference sections on stubs
[change source]Hi. I've undone a few of your edits, where you added a references section to stub that only had a few sentences. When there is a page with only a few sentences and no references, this heading just clutters the page. The first person to add a reference can add the section at the time the reference is added. Then it is added when first useful. Desertborn (talk) 10:39, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) To be absolutely clear, the need for a reference section has nothing to do with the size of an article or whether it's a stub. If a page has references, it needs a references section (or, rarely, a reference display within a specific section). If there are no references, then no reference section should be there. The same is true for notes, which are displayed separately from references but which can look like references. --Auntof6 (talk) 11:06, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Desertborn and Auntof6:Hi greetings, I definitely agree with you. I will not add reference section in articles haven't references. Thank you for reverting my edits. Regards.--Path slopu (Talk) 12:33, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Recent changes
- A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. The mobile main page special casing stopped working 14 July. 60 wikis now have main pages that don't work well on mobile. You can see which ones, how to fix it and how to get help in Phabricator. This is the same problem that was reported in Tech News 2020/24 and 2020/26.
Problems
- There is a problem with the interlanguage links. The interlanguage links are the links that help you find a specific page in a different language. The sorting is broken. The developers are working on a solution. [1]
- Some users keep getting the notifications for the same event. Some of these are old events. [2]
- Some users have trouble logging in. This is probably a browser cookie problem. The developers are working on understanding the problem. If you have trouble logging in you can see the details on Phabricator. [3]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 July. It will be on all wikis from 23 July (calendar).
Future changes
- There is a
Page for printing
link. This will disappear. That is because web browsers today can create a printable version or show how it will look in print anyway. [4]
