GamerGate Sanctions Notice

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.
Everyone gets this. Cheers--Jorm (talk) 07:07, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Chris Murphy gun control filibuster

On 5 July 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chris Murphy gun control filibuster, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Senator Chris Murphy launched a filibuster in the United States Senate promising to hold the floor "for as long as I can", or until Congress acted on gun control legislation? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chris Murphy gun control filibuster. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Chris Murphy gun control filibuster), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Recent changes

  • A new image scaler fixed a number of bugs for showing SVG files. Some new problems turned up. [3][4][5]
  • Notifications are grouped by types. They are now counted by number of notifications and not by unread groups. That change may increase the number of notifications displayed. The earlier way of counting was often incorrect. Unread notifications will also be displayed first. [6][7][8]
  • Special:Notifications now has a maximum width for the notifications list on desktop computers. This allows long titles and descriptions to be cut properly. Notifications are now also better parsed. [9][10][11]

Problems

  • On 5 July Wikimedia Commons had problems and could not be edited for 20 minutes. For a short while after that the recent changes log and some gadgets were not working properly. It affected administrative actions on other projects too. [12]
  • Users who have multiple unread notifications can mark them as read by visiting Special:Notifications page on their wiki.

Changes this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 July. It will be on all wikis from 14 July (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 July at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Wikidata weekly summary #217

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Delete post

can you please delete the post of sahana Bajracharya that I posted. Cr7deepak (talk) 04:56, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

List

The listing can be found at User:Bgwhite/Sandbox2. I only put the first 4,700 articles. There's over 70,000, but Wikipedia bombs out on trying to save something that big. Bgwhite (talk) 22:18, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Josve, #81 doesn't need to be activated just yet. WPCleaner can load up the list I gave you. You need to: 1) save the list to your computer 2) In the bottom right corner of WPCleaner, click on "Load list from drive" 3) After you select a file to load, it will ask you about the file in UTF-8, choose "Internal links in a formated list". Bgwhite (talk) 21:34, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
I must have done something wrong then, because WPCleaner did not recognize the 81-erors as "an error", and did not suggest edits for me...(t) Josve05a (c) 21:45, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
(Bgwhite-ping) (t) Josve05a (c) 21:45, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
Well, my power of screwing up is legendary. @NicoV: is the one who would know. Bgwhite (talk) 21:56, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
@Bgwhite: I beleive WPCLeaner uses that list to determine which "erorrs" should be detected in articles as well...so if CHECKWIKI aren't detecting them as error, neither are WPCleaner... (t) Josve05a (c) 22:06, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
Let's see if Nico knows a way around this. I'd rather not turn on 81 if I can help it. Bgwhite (talk) 22:12, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
Why not? :p Turn the switch! Muhaha (t) Josve05a (c) 22:14, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
@Josve05a and Bgwhite: Use the bot parameter, its purpose is to activate an error for WPCleaner even if it's not activated for CW (like for #501) ;-) --NicoV (Talk on frwiki) 22:51, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
@Josve05a and Bgwhite: Or if you don't want to activate the error for everybody who is using WPCleaner, use your own configuration page as I'm doing for my bot account or as you're doing for #521. --NicoV (Talk on frwiki) 08:07, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
