Can you look into this?[edit]
Hi, a few months ago you banned user "StarryNightSky11". I've opened an investigation (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/StarryNightSky11) as I'm certain he now uses a sock account. Can you please look into this? Thanks, Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 08:34, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Eem dik doun in toene, thank you very much for the well-written SPI request and the notification! Processing this case was unusually easy and led to quick confirmations. If I may nitpick, I only blocked – the term "banning" is mostly used when the community throws someone out by consensus. Such a ban can then only be removed by the community again. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:59, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, thanks for handling it quickly! I indeed meant blocked, banning is a tat extreme:) Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 13:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-21[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.
Recent changes
- The Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [1]
- New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [2][3]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (calendar). [4][5]
The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
