Tech News: 2024-33
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- AbuseFilter editors and maintainers can now make a CAPTCHA show if a filter matches an edit. This allows communities to quickly respond to spamming by automated bots. [1]
- Stewards can now specify if global blocks should prevent account creation. Before this change by the Trust and Safety Product Team, all global blocks would prevent account creation. This will allow stewards to reduce the unintended side-effects of global blocks on IP addresses.
Project updates
- Nominations are open on Wikitech for new members to refresh the Toolforge standards committee. The committee oversees the Toolforge Right to fork policy and Abandoned tool policy among other duties. Nominations will remain open until at least 2024-08-26.

Concern regarding Draft:Universal cross-site scripting
[edit] Hello, Sohom Datta. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Universal cross-site scripting, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 01:06, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Nahid Islam
[edit]Hi Sohom Datta. Recently you approved the Nahid Islam page through the AfC review process, which is fine. However, Deb contacted me, as I’m the page’s creator, with a valid concern that needs to be addressed first. I plan to move the page back to draft so that these concerns can be resolved through an independent review. Let’s collaborate on this with the assumption of good faith. Charlie (talk) 15:39, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- @CharlieMehta (and @Deb) That's not how AFC and draftspace are supposed to work, you shouldn't be taking a notable person's biography into draftspace just because they are controversial (and conversely, AFC's goal is to provide a review on the AFD survivability of the article not to provide a GA/FA-like review).
- Based on my review, the article passes GNG and I personally don't see how the article is biased since all the information appears to be sourced to fairly reliable sources. Could one of you explain what the exact concerns are and why AFC would be a good venue to resolve this? Sohom (talk) 18:11, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- As far as I could see, it was moved from draft space by User:CharlieMehta without a review. I moved it to draft and it seems like you moved it back. It's now been submitted for a review again after significant improvements were made by another editor. The history shows that a lot of SPAs and anons have been fiddling about with it and I'd suggest that, when it's passed review, it should be protected from edits by non-autoconfirmed users. I'm very doubtful whether this individual meets the notability criteria in any case. Deb (talk) 18:58, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
