Notability
Hi, do I have to change the sentence referring to the article? or are the articles on the page not of high enough importance? The articles about Covid and support given to other establishments have had a huge impact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pwalton78 (talk • contribs) 11:45, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- You can see reference previews. This shows a preview of the footnote when you hover over it. This has been a beta feature. It will move out of beta and be enabled by default. There will be an option not to use it. The developers are looking for small or medium-sized wikis to be the first ones. You can let them know if your wiki is interested. [1]
- From November 16 the categories will not be sorted in order for a short time. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the internationalisation library. They will use a script to fix the existing categories. This can take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [2][3]

Request on 09:10:19, 9 November 2020 for assistance on Draft:Marcus Banks submission by dz3
Hello there thanks for looking at the draft. Granted he was a senior Oxford academic and film maker I'd not thought that notability was much of an issue. But I take your point so I've edited to add 3rd party sources to address the notability issue you have raised. Question is how much is needed? Any guidance much appreciated

Article: Bunder Garden
Hello Rich Smith !
Thank you.
You accepted an article for creation viz., Bunder Garden and informed me that it has been created.
But I did not find it in the main space. And it has been redirected to a different article 'Perambur'. Why ? Helppublic (talk) 19:07, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Recent changes
- Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 16 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for most languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [4][5]
Changes later this week
- If you merged two pages in a namespace where pages can't redirect this used to break the merge history. This will now be fixed. [6]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 November. It will be on all wikis from 19 November (calendar).
Future changes
- The Community Wishlist Survey is now open for proposals. The survey decides what the Community Tech team will work on. You can post proposals from 16 to 30 November. You can vote on proposals from 8 December to 21 December.

New, simpler RfC to define trust levels for WikiLoop DoubleCheck
HI Rich Smith/Archive78,
I'm writing to let you know we have simplified the RfC on trust levels for the tool WikiLoop DoubleCheck. Please join and share your thoughts about this feature! We made this change after hearing users' comments on the first RfC being too complicated. I hope that you can participate this time around, giving your feedback on this new feature for WikiLoop DoubleCheck users.
Thanks and see you around online,
María Cruz

Rich - thanks for making fixes to the article that was resubmitted by BSpaTruthSquad after I realized I had a COI issue. Apparently, he informed Wiki of legally improper statements that were being made by other reviewers, and they blocked him for stating that and that the sources he had added after I handed it over to him were adequate and verifiable (schools, newspaper, ESPN, D3football.com — a major Division 3 resource). I’m not sure if you have the ability, but do you feel the article can now be submitted/approved? This shouldn’t even be an argument with 274 episodes, 2+ millions views/listens, and 12+ years of regular existence. Thanks again for your time. - Frank Rossif76 (talk) 21:30, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Redirect
Hi. Sorry for the confusion. I was seeking to have each of the three redirect to Mismarking. Not all three, as one term.
- Mismark
- Mis-mark
- Mis-marking
Can that be changed? Thanks.--2604:2000:E010:1100:A162:CEEA:904E:E402 (talk) 23:11, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
