Tech News: 2024-27

Recent changes

Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update. [1]
Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [2]
If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [3][4]
Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [5]
Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Mandailing (w:btm:) [6]

Problems

Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team. [7]

Question from Saroj Kumar 53 (10:15, 5 July 2024)

Map Wikipedia sech --Saroj Kumar 53 (talk) 10:15, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Saroj Kumar 53 Please write on the Wikipedia in your mother tongue. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 14:15, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from No.7 Kelly (07:44, 12 July 2024)

Hello What's the use of Wikipedia --No.7 Kelly (talk) 07:44, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@No.7 Kelly It's a tertiary source of information. It attempts to summarize, collect, and consolidate the source materials into an overview without adding analysis and synthesis of new conclusions, the "source material" being reliable sources that significantly mention the subject but are independent of the subject. Basically, Wikipedia shouldn't be a place to do all of your research, but it might be a good place to start. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 13:45, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Priceless master on Wikipedia:Redirect (12:20, 14 July 2024)

Create the perfect patentable law --Priceless master (talk) 12:20, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Priceless master This doesn't make any sense. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 13:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Asolsk (09:30, 13 July 2024)

Hi Mr/Miss, please can you help me how to remove 'draft' from my page. In documentation is written that it's easy, just to change the WP, but I cannot find setting for it for the particular page :(. Thank you for help ASOLSK --Asolsk (talk) 09:30, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Asolsk Unfortunately, the draft needs to be deleted because it's an advertisement. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 09:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to describe facts about the evolution of the product and technologies which are used and have been invented. Similar way as are written SAP HANA information,cause there are worth information.

So will rewrite it, will add archtiecture (UML diagramd and AI models). Can you share examples whuch I should follow (honestly, the guidline is complicated).

Thank you. Asolsk (talk) 15:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Asolsk What's your mother tongue? I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 22:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your patience, slovak language Asolsk (talk) 19:13, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Asolsk Have you considered editing the Slovak Wikipedia? I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 22:28, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Asolsk Also, a thought: SAP HANA has a clean up tag that says This article may rely excessively on sources too closely associated with the subject. Basically, there are too many sources that are written by SAP in that article. You probably don't want the company you're writing about to have that same clean up tag.

Question from ChangerOfPage (04:55, 20 July 2024)

Hello, I dream of horses. I believe you have been automatically assigned as my mentor. What do you think I should know? So far I have changed two pages. Thank you! ChangerOfPage. --ChangerOfPage (talk) 04:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ChangerOfPage I gave you a welcome template with some links; hopefully, you'll find them helpful. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 05:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from 4256e (05:20, 22 July 2024)

Is there a way to save a page as a W.I.P. that isn't published or declined but can't be submitted just yet becuse it's a W.I.P.? --4256e (talk) 05:20, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@4256e You create it with articles for creation. As long as you edit the draft every six months, it won't get deleted, so you'll have plenty of time. Just as well. It's pretty rare to get an article not deleted/a draft not declined this early on in your Wikipedia editing "career." I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 07:29, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, ok. Thank you. 4256e (talk) 02:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Estrella,Karpouzis (22:19, 23 July 2024)

Can you help me about editing my page? --Estrella,Karpouzis (talk) 22:19, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Estrella,Karpouzis I moved it to draftspace. That should help. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 22:29, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Nailya abdulxalikova (11:59, 28 July 2024)

Здравствуйте! Я хочу внести правки в статью про Агар. Я занимаюсь научными исследованиями и у меня появилась дополнительная информация, которой я хочу поделиться. Считаю, что она может быть полезна широкой аудитории. Как мне внести в статью свою дополнительную информацию ? Спасибо! --Nailya abdulxalikova (talk) 11:59, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nailya abdulxalikova I've sent a welcome message to you suggesting you edit the Russian Wikipedia. Please strongly consider doing that. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 12:42, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, once again. I would like to edit the English version, because more people will learn about the useful properties of this wonderful material. At the moment, I have created a battery and an electric power storage device based on this material. It is in the patenting stage. Here is one of my articles about this wonderful material Agar-agar.https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/investigation-of-the-thermal-conductivity-of-a-superionic-gel-with-na-superionic-conductivity-based-on-natural-agar-c12h18o9-n Nailya abdulxalikova (talk) 15:03, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nailya abdulxalikova You have a conflict of interest (here's a more simple explaination I like giving to everyone), and are writing in a non-native language. Assuming the material/battery even qualifies for an article, creating an articles for creation draft and letting someone else turn it into an article will decrease the chances of the article being deleted. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 15:11, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Хорошо, спасибо.Не стану редактировать статью-сведения действительно были интересные и полезные. Да, ну ладно. Когда-нибудь---кто-нибудь другой донесёт эту полезную информацию людям. Видимо пока не время и не судьба.

Всего вам хорошего. Удачи и счастья--даже если вы и остаетесь закрытыми для меня. Nailya abdulxalikova (talk) 15:30, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure you can edit the English Wikipedia? The Russian Wikipedia actually needs more help than the English Wikipedia.

Question from Yojimbowindbeautiful (13:29, 29 July 2024)

How do I write a wikipedia article about a local school? --Yojimbowindbeautiful (talk) 13:29, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yojimbowindbeautiful A local school is unlikely to be noted well enough to qualify for an article on Wikipedia. I just gave you a template that links to suggested edits you can do instead, along with a tutorial.

If you insist, you can do an articles for creation draft. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 13:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Sc30002001

I noticed you redirected albums on Los Mismos. Juntos para Siempre has nobility due to a premio Lo Nuestro Nonamanation all the others are directed as well. I did them as a rookie and people left them alone before I saw you. I am not contesting the directs but I think Juntos para siempre should be left alone. The band is still kicking but they never got out of the shadow of Los Bukis. it was nice to have their albums published. when they mentioned Nobility to me that's when I stopped contributing I just liked the style and the picture box wiki has to make the articles. thank you. 47.198.114.252 (talk) 14:53, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I redirected album pages due to a lack of sourcing. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 14:55, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
