Ian St John
Hi. Quick question: Why did you remove the list of international goals at Ian St John? It seemed to be well-sourced. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 10:24, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

- New JavaScript-based functions will not work in Internet Explorer 11. This is because Internet Explorer is an old browser that doesn't work with how JavaScript is written today. Everything that works in Internet Explorer 11 today will continue working in Internet Explorer for now. You can read more.

Cut and paste moves re 2021 Rugby World Cup
Hi, just seen your message on User:Mikey'Da'Man, Archangel's talk page about the cut & paste move of the 2021 Rugby World Cup article. I'd also put a message there re the 2021 Rugby World Cup qualifying article, which I've tagged for speedy deletion, planning to revert the old article to it's pre-redirect position and then move it back to the 2021 article. Have you got a cleaner and easier way of sorting that out? It hasn't been edited since the cut & paste move. Any advice you can give would be gratefully received, thanks.--Bcp67 (talk) 12:55, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- I think that deleting the one that was copy and pasted and then moving the 2022 articles back to 2021 is the correct way. Which is the way both 2021 Rugby World Cup and 2021 Rugby World Cup qualifying are now tagged. Hopefully an admin will fix the moves soon. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Great, thank you. --Bcp67 (talk) 16:41, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Bcp67 Looks like they've been fixed by Anthony Appleyard using a history merge, so all good now. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:04, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Changes later this week

Future changes

R.e. Steve Cotterill Edits
By my count, I made two reversions, not three. Other users, however, have made three reversions, with no similar warning on their Talk page. --eamont (talk) 19:20, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- According to the page history, you made 3 changes, all of which count towards WP:3RR: Special:Diff/1012667467, Special:Diff/1012763979, Special:Diff/1012780843. And no other person made more than 2. Also, WP:CONSENSUS doesn't mean "universal consensus". Joseph2302 (talk) 10:08, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- The first edit you've linked to isn't a reversion - it was an update. Further, Egghead06 made three reversions: Special:Diff/1012803690, Special:Diff/1012780843, Special:Diff/1012763979. I agree that edit warring isn't the way to make changes, which is why (on my second and final reversion) I suggested we reopen the discussion. Ultimately it doesn't matter; I am happy to continue the discussion on the relevant project page.--eamont (talk) 12:24, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
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
- There is a Wikipedia app for KaiOS phones. They don't have a touch screen so readers navigate with the phone keys. There is now a simulator so you can see what it looks like.
- The reply tool and new discussion tool are now available as the "Discussion tools" beta feature in almost all wikis except German Wikipedia.
Problems
- You will be able to read but not edit twelve wikis for a short period of time on 23 March at 06:00 (UTC). This can also affect password changes, logging in to new wikis, global renames and changing or confirming emails. This could take 30 minutes but will probably be much faster.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 March. It will be on all wikis from 25 March (calendar).
- Syntax highlighting colours will change to be easier to read. This will soon come to the first wikis. [13]
Future changes
- Flagged revisions will no longer have multiple tags like "tone" or "depth". It will also only have one tier. This was changed because very few wikis used these features and they make the tool difficult to maintain. [14][15]
- Gadgets and user scripts can access variables about the current page in JavaScript. In 2015 this was moved from
wg*tomw.config.wg*will soon no longer work. [16]

Thank you
For your comments at the ANI thread - they were very much appreciated. Take care. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 20:28, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Well it was a stupid thread. Their argument was about guidelines, so they should have brought it up at a discussion page, rather than picking on you. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:16, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
I've read this sentence at least a million times but I don't understand what you mean. Sorting on Coppa Italia finals table doesn't work properly because of the columns that say the scores on aggregate, and get bundled up together when sorting.
However, I have now learned the mistakes you and others mentioned in the WP: ANI and I won't participate in GAs and FLs discussions until at least December. Dr Salvus 21:40, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Bosnia national team
The original users who were pushing this template come from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/National_teams and you didn't even give a day for other people to come in and debate this template change. Stop claiming WP:OWN, hundreds of people edit this page and I have never reverted anyone. Have fun allowing this page to decay as the users who pushed this change don't care about this page and only want to push this template change on every national team, I'm over this. Good job pushing legitimate wikipedia users out without so much as any discussion.Bihnt123 (talk) 23:19, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- The point of a template approach is to have consistency. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:52, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
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
- Some very old web browsers don’t work well with the Wikimedia wikis. Some old code for browsers that used to be supported is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. [17]
- IRC recent changes feeds have been moved to a new server. Make sure all tools automatically reconnect to
irc.wikimedia.organd not to the name of any specific server. Users should also consider switching to the more modern EventStreams. [18]
Problems
- When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split. It might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. [19]
- Some translatable pages on Meta could not be edited. This was because of a bug in the translation tool. The new MediaWiki version was delayed because of problems like this. [20][21]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 March. It will be on all wikis from 1 April (calendar).
