Signpost article edit
In relation to your arbcom article, I've been concerned about Jonathunder since he left. We hit it off well at the 2019 North American Conference, and I was particularly impressed with his love of photography and adding images to Commons. His last posting mentioned "a long and serious illness", and hopefully you are right that he left because of the desyop and not anything worse - although at the time he didn't seem the type of personality who would stop volunteering because of that. You probably would have liked him, and it would be nice if he surfaced again (reminds me of another editor I knew only on-line who ducked out for a couple years during covid and then, happily, popped up again) Randy Kryn (talk) 13:03, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- JPxG, thanks for the ArbCom report. Well-written and informative, with a touch of levity. And thanks for confirming that I'm not the only one who had no idea was SMALLCATS was about. I tried reading the ArbCom discussions and just gave up. :) Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 14:31, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Perms edit
Did you mean to give yourself all those perms indefinitely? – 2804:F14:80B7:8201:90E7:C193:821D:E8C2 (talk) 09:17, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Offensive usernames edit
It is my understanding that Stewards are able to globally hide usernames such that they stop appearing in search results and list:users, but they will do so only for names that are targeted harassment or egregiously offensive. I've emailed them before to get usernames taken down when they were attacking specific editors. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:54, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Stewards are able to globally hide usernames as above. Additionally en.wp oversighters can hide usernames from local lists, but iirc this can sometimes cause issues if they are later globally hidden (it was several years ago it was last discussed, and things may have changed since then or my memory may be faulty so don't take this as gospel). In any event, if you wish to draw attention to a username you think should be hidden, you should do so by email (see WP:STEWARDS and WP:OVERSIGHT). Thryduulf (talk) 22:13, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
Oracle not updating edit
Just wanted to ping you to let you know it appears the Oracle for Deletion page has stopped updating as of Feb 14th. Is this something that is in the works to be fixed? This information is very insightful and useful for the community, so it'd be great to see this data source continue. Thank you for all that you've done to create and maintain this. 74.109.236.228 (talk) 12:55, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- I noticed it had stopped updating when the Toolforge grid was deprecated -- what it needs is just to be SSHed into and migrated over to the new Kubernetes thing -- but while I was preparing to do this, I also noticed that nobody had said anything about it stopping, so I figured it might just not be worth the effort. Now that somebody has said something, I will go try to do something about it... jp×g🗯️ 18:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-21 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.
Recent changes
- The Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [1]
- New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [2][3]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (calendar). [4][5]
- The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
