CallMeCarson in 2020.png
File:CallMeCarson in 2020.png has been nominated for deletion since January 8, 2021, and is still up. There has not been a proper response on the deletion nomination page since the same day. I left two messages, May 18 and May 30, on the nomination page. KullyKeemaKa (talk) 23:51, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not particularly active on Commons, but this would need an admin to look at and close as keep or delete. There is somewhere on Commons to request admins to look at deletion requests, but I can't remember where off hand, sorry. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:25, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Margaret Saurin
I only brought up the discussion on the ERRORS page because I figured that if simply pulling the hook entirely for discussion was the best option, Amakuru would have done it instead of keeping the discussion there for over a day and half - to the point that there was only one hour left until the set went live. A few other editors that I respect didn't bother to mention that option either. I barely ever post on ERRORS and I'm sorry that I made a mistake in using it. SL93 (talk) 21:32, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- SL93 No hard feelings, I was mostly annoyed that the replacement hook was factually incorrect, because an admin wrote their own hook (that was different to the ones being discussed). And once the hook was on the front page, that was too late for it to be pulled. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:31, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
re.: Gerard Schurmann
Can the piece I wrote about Gerard Schurmann now be re-installed? The Gramophone authorized a link to his obituary which is now on the site. The piece I wrote is my copyright. Lasovich (talk) 19:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Greetings! I think that your concept of creating a 'Personal life' section is a cool idea that nicely holds the present position. However, if Robinson does get sanctioned by the ECB then that moves the saga firmly into his professional (sporting) life and out of his personal life. It would also substantially raise the status of this incident and we should need to reconsider how to structure it. HTH. 77.99.37.105 (talk) 23:26, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- Agreed, if it has an impact on his cricketing career then it would probably be appropriate to put it in one of the cricket career sections. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:35, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 June. It will be on all wikis from 10 June (calendar).
Future changes
- The Wikimedia movement uses Phabricator for technical tasks. This is where we collect technical suggestions, bugs and what developers are working on. The company behind Phabricator will stop working on it. This will not change anything for the Wikimedia movement now. It could lead to changes in the future. [2][3][4]
- Searching on Wikipedia will find more results in some languages. This is mainly true for when those who search do not use the correct diacritics because they are not seen as necessary in that language. For example searching for
Beduszdoesn't findBęduszon German Wikipedia. The characteręisn't used in German so many would writeeinstead. This will work better in the future in some languages. [5] 
The CSRF token parameters in the action API were changed in 2014. The old parameters from before 2014 will stop working soon. This can affect bots, gadgets and user scripts that still use the old parameters. [6][7]

Hi - hope you are well. Thanks for the reverts and requesting page protection. I was just about to do the latter! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 14:57, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
- No worries- it's what happens when stupid magazines jump the gun and tell everyone it's definitely moving to UAE and Oman. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:05, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Recent changes
- Logged-in users on the mobile web can choose to use the advanced mobile mode. They now see categories in a similar way as users on desktop do. This means that some gadgets that have just been for desktop users could work for users of the mobile site too. If your wiki has such gadgets you could decide to turn them on for the mobile site too. Some gadgets probably need to be fixed to look good on mobile. [8]
- Language links on Wikidata now works for multilingual Wikisource. [9]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- In the future we can't show the IP of unregistered editors to everyone. This is because privacy regulations and norms have changed. There is now a rough draft of how showing the IP to those who need to see it could work.
- German Wikipedia, English Wikivoyage and 29 smaller wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on 22 June. This is planned between 5:00 and 5:30 UTC. [10]
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes in the week of 28 June. More information will be published in Tech News later. It will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [11][12]

--Rosiestep (talk) 16:05, 22 June 2021 (UTC) via MassMessaging
I've just requested some protection on my Commons talk page just now as an LTA which you're tired of by now had emerged earlier this morning. Fingers crossed protection happens. The history of mine is much longer than yours but thankfully with the Commons link you'd provided had helped me to find where the requests for protection lies. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:28, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hopefully it'll stop them, but I doubt it. It's a shame that there doesn't seem to be a way to semi-protect user talkpages on every wiki, as that would slow them down. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:24, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
