Latest news from the Wikimedia Global Collaboration team, about Notifications, Structured discussions, Edit Review Improvements and Content translation. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

• The last Global collaboration details report is now available (in English).

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

• The filters are now deployed as a default feature on all wikis on RecentChanges and RecentChangesLinked pages.
• The filters are still available as a Beta feature on all wikis on Watchlists. Please try them!
• LiveUpdates have been deployed as a default feature for all wikis.
• On wikis using Extension:Translate, translated messages can now be filtered. System messages can be filtered as well, on all wikis. [1]
• "View new changes since $1" link is now more prominent, to invite users to use that native feature to update the list of results. [2]
• Pagination and time period selectors are now combined and located on the right on left-to-right wikis. [3]
• When a user wanted to click outside of the filter menu to close it, it was possible to click on "revert" link by accident. It is not possible anymore. [4]
• It is now possible to filter the following events using the Tags menu: Making a page a redirect, Changing redirect target, Changing an existing redirect into a non-redirect, Blanking of the page, Removing more than 90% of a page content, Rolling back an edit. [5]
• Some design improvements have been done to Related Changes page to integrate the new filters. [6]

• Some small design improvements have been done. [8]

Content translation [More information • Help pages]

• Now Content Translation prevents source and target language to be set to same language. [9]
• The dialog for selecting article to translate is standardized. It introduces a new component that is used for the selected page on both the "New translation" dialog and the "Suggested pages" list. [10]
• More space is given to the language filter, to increase responsiveness and show more language names without truncation. [11]
• While searching for a new page to translate, duplicates are not shown anymore for user search input. [12]
• Various PHP warnings and JavaScript errors have been fixed. [13][14]

Structured discussions [More information • Help pages]

• It is now possible to use Special:Nuke on hidden Structured discussion topics. [15]
• The Reply button is not active anymore until something is typed. [16]

Miscellaneous

• For wikis that use ORES, preferences for ORES have been rationalized in Special:Preferences, on Recent Changes tab and Watchlist tab. [17]
• ORES will be deployed on Simple English Wikipedia. That wiki will be able to use the Prediction filters. [18]

Ok, done. Anyway, I'm following the SRG page, so no need to leave me a message on my talk page. Stryn (talk) 17:51, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Request for help from Subbu (Parsing Team)

Hi there, ambassador! Subbu and his team would like to encourage a few big wikis to make a planned technical change slightly ahead of time, like the German and the Italian Wikipedia plus 170 other wikis already did last month. He'd appreciate if his message could be translated, before he posts it on the local village pump. (Once he does so, it would of course also be nice if you could keep an eye on the thread, should a conversation happen locally that requires his intervention and/or make sure that the message reaches the right people, but it's not a big deal if you can't!) He'll likely post there on Monday 15, and he'll just use the English version if a translation isn't available. Thanks in advance for your attention and help, --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 10:24, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Done. Stryn (talk) 16:04, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

SE Candidates

Hi. I'm at Stewards/Elections 2018/Guidelines but I can't see the box to create the nomination and vote page, which is the page linked in the CN Banner. I wonder if it can be fixed? Also, Pathoschild will update the tool shortly so we'll have to update the links on the account elegibility thing. Regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 07:20, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the information, now everything should be fine. I'll make sure I add some documentation on our wiki what we need to remember to do. We have too many templates that need to be changed. Stryn (talk) 07:57, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

help sir

hei sir I have created the first page by mistake could you delete that please:)) Bloch khan (talk) 12:42, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Done. Stryn (talk) 12:44, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Help needed

Hi Stryn, hope you recall our meeting in Esino in 2016.

This has a reference to the deletion of one of earliest post on Meta (link) The stuff was deleted because it was considered to be "Off-topic". I request you to please provide the text, either thru Wiki-mail or as section on my talk page just for my record. Best. --Muzammil (talk) 07:10, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Done, but please don't put it back on Meta-Wiki as it's clearly out of the scope. Stryn (talk) 07:57, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much! as I mentioned above, I wanted the text "just for my record" and some other purposes, not to re-post on Meta. --Muzammil (talk) 13:30, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello

Can you quote "personal attack" at my user page?

If we happen to discuss this matter in court in which jurisdiction we shall talk? D1gggg (talk) 09:23, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

"User page should be used to talk about yourself. It should never be used for personal attacks" as other user wrote in the deletion summary. But if you can't find it yourself, you don't say that some users you don't like should be globally blocked and "...deal with ugly people and let others contribute as normal person..." Stryn (talk) 09:26, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Do you have citizenship of any country? Or everyone rejected you? :-(

Do you know how solve matters pre-court or that court will be absolutely neccery? D1gggg (talk) 09:33, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Article 19

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Tout individu a droit à la liberté d'opinion et d'expression, ce qui implique le droit de ne pas être inquiété pour ses opinions et celui de chercher, de recevoir et de répandre, sans considérations de frontières, les informations et les idées par quelque moyen d'expression que ce soit.

@Stryn: do you support article 19 or that arbitrary text? D1gggg (talk) 10:21, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Help me sir

Please delete my request, I don't want to become an administrator, I working on Wikivoyage project. thank you very much:) Bloch khan (talk) 21:14, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Do you mean I should delete this? Stryn (talk) 21:15, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

yes sir, and very very sorry:) Bloch khan (talk) 21:16, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much sir:) Bloch khan (talk) 21:22, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Comment about steward

Hi Stryn, I wanted to comment about Masti's action here but you cancelled my comment. You wrote that the confirmation vote start on 8 February. Yet, with this comment I only wanted to get a comment from Masti. Depending on his comment, I will decide for my vote. When am I supposed to ask questions? Pamputt (talk) 09:46, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, the "comments" section is to either give support for their stewarship or to oppose it. And that will start on 8 February. If you have questions for stewards you should better ask on their talk page. Stryn (talk) 09:50, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, ok I understand. Too late for now but I think there should be a public discussion in order the other voters are aware about their vote. As I wrote, depending on the answer that is given, it could change my vote. So as far as I understand your reply, the talk page is place for that, right? Pamputt (talk) 17:24, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

I actually meant the user talk page where you can ask the question. But the other choice is to vote neutral in the confirmations and then raise your question and change your opinion from neutral after possible answer. Stryn (talk) 17:31, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Filter 155

Is that to stop the super beep vandal? --Artix Kreiger (Message Wall) 20:49, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Yes. Stryn (talk) 20:49, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Oops

Thanks for catching that! (Would I edit conflict you adding the others?) --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 18:05, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

They were not in the original version (see), but feel free to add them, I'm going out :) Stryn (talk) 18:11, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

You missed a sock

Hi there. Thanks for the quick response to my request for Locking the latest ROXELANA22 socks. He's been at this Cross-wiki vandalism for over a decade now. You missed one account though, BaalRadar (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • gblock • ST • lwcheckuser). Can you please lock that account as well? The reason I'm asking is because ROXELANA22 is known for "resurrecting" his blocked accounts on other Wikipedia sites following an indef block on one project (usually the English Wikipedia); recently, he has used this loophole to attack my Commons talk page. Thank you. LightandDark2000 (talk) 07:37, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, oh, I don't know how I missed that account, now done :) Stryn (talk) 10:21, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! LightandDark2000 (talk) 21:56, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

CN

Hi, do you by chance do CentralNotice requests? Ukrainian community will have an article contest soon, if you could have a look at a banner, it would be awesome: CentralNotice/Request/Scandinavian spring in UKWP --Ата ^(talk) 10:02, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ата, unfortunately my knowledge of CentralNotice stuff is bad, I asked on Meta:Requests_for_help_from_a_sysop_or_bureaucrat. Stryn (talk) 13:08, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! --Ата ^(talk) 15:16, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

What?

Hi. Why did you revert this edit? The user checked the vote (eligible user) and Alch Bot automatically checks all of the votes. --Stïnger （会話） 20:49, 22 February 2018 (UTC).

Wow, it was an accident, probably I was on my phone and accidentally pressed the revert button. Sorry. Stryn (talk) 05:33, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

No worries, errors often happens :-) --Stïnger （会話） 12:20, 23 February 2018 (UTC).

IP 94.30.35.18

You might consider a longer period of global ban for this IP (continued his 'work' on Simple). Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:37, 23 February 2018 (UTC) Oh, OK I see already done. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:39, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Temporary sysop

Hi! How to become a temporary admin is totally inactive in the community, where there are no edits for a week? --OlegCinema (talk) 15:39, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Just start there a discussion about your adminship and wait for a week of possible comments. Stryn (talk) 16:08, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Ready for translation: Editing News #1—2018

Hi! This is an invitation to join translators working on the upcoming issue of the multilingual newsletter for the visual editor, which will be widely delivered when it's end of Friday in Central Europe. Thanks in advance for your help with this: getting to interact with fellows so skilled like the translators are is among my favorite things about my job :) Best, Elitre (WMF) 10:29, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

PS: Here are some instructions. Please go to the translation page: your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. Once you've selected it, you'll see the document in English side by side with any translation work already done in your language. You can add new translations or modify existing ones. Please let us know about difficulties you experience with the translation memory system.

Collaboration products newsletter: 2018-03

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Map improvements 2018, Notifications, Structured discussions and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

The Collaboration team has announced the start of a new project: In-Context Help and Onboarding. The idea is to improve retention of new wiki editors by giving them short tutorials and other training experiences related to, and triggered by, their current activities on the wikis (that’s the “in context” part). The project follows from the conclusions of the New Editor Experiences research. The work is in its very early stages, but we’d like to hear from people with ideas on the subject—particularly if you have experience supporting or training new contributors.

Map improvements 2018 [More information]

• Maps using Maplink and Mapframe functions now include an extra zoom level (level 19). This is part of the Kartographer Improvements, the number one request of the 2017 Community Wishlist survey. [50]

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

• Number of edit to show in recent changes information text was incorrect in Special:Preferences. It has been rephrased. [51]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. That new feature has been documented. [52]
• Preferences panel on Special:Notifications was overlapping other elements. This has been fixed. [53]

Future changes

• An important work is under progress to allow thanks of log entry. This is done by the Community Tech team. [54]

Structured discussions [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

• Structured Discussions extension has been uninstalled from wikis not using it. However, it is still possible for a community to request a trial of Structured discussions. [55]

Problems

• It was not possible to opt-in and opt-out Structured discussions on wikis using it as a Beta feature. It is now fixed. [56]

Future changes

• The visual editor and 2017 wikitext editor interface is going to change for consistency. The toolbar, dialogs and menus will appear slightly bigger; some icons will look different. Content or functionality will not change. That change will apply to Structured Discussions as well. [57]

I saw your edit here and wanted to let you know they are one of several hundred of JaySmith2018's LTA accounts. See also 1, 2, 3 (and quite a few more that aren't glocked yet.) Here's some of the recently glocked accounts for comparison: 1, 2, 3. Chrissymad (talk) 19:02, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

And strangely this IP which is glocked but still editing? Chrissymad (talk) 19:04, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, all blocked/locked. I didn't know about this LTA before. Stryn (talk) 19:07, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Please can you act on my request here? It has been left unactioned for over a week. Thanks. –Ammarpad (talk) 04:09, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

WMF Surveys, 18:36, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you.

Waking up to thousands of vandalized pages (so many of them directly relating to work that my team does or is connected to) wasn't fun. We are grateful for how people like you handle these situations, fast and efficiently, allowing everyone to move on with their work like nothing ever happened in the first place. :) Have a nice rest of your day. --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 08:52, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, my pleasure, honestly, I don't like anything more than fighting against vandals :D I was just too busy to go work so had no time to revert all of his edits, and even forgot to lock the account, so it then switched to ar.wikipedia where it did 16,175 edits in 30 minutes :O Stryn (talk) 08:56, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Is help being coordinated for them? I know there's a user script for such cases, but can't find a place where anything about what happened is being discussed. --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 09:01, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Looks like it's all reverted there by few users. I don't know anything else than use the [rollback] button. Maybe there are scripts too, but I have not used them. علاء: did you use some script to revert the edits, or do you know who is that vandal? Stryn (talk) 09:10, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

You people don't share tools among you much? :) User:Hoo man/Scripts/Smart rollback. --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 09:12, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Ah thanks! I've heard about that tool, but never used it, maybe I would need it too rarely and I always fear I revert good edits when I use the site on mobile :) Stryn (talk) 09:14, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello @Elitre (WMF) and Stryn: Yes, I'm using Smart rollback, today I revert around 6,000 vandal edits by this script, and before few days I revert also around 2,000 edits to the same vandal but by another account. The vandal appear under this accounts Jamesbebo (2,288 edits on arwiki, 682 in enwiki), Jamesbeboagain, Hero8000 and Hero9000 (16,175 edits on arwiki, 3,271 edits on metawiki)! --Alaa :)..! 13:39, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Stryn, Elitre (WMF), User:علاء, according to this, the vandal edited up to 537 edits in 1 minute for 30 minutes. Thats 9 a second. --Artix Kreiger (Message Wall) 13:58, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Harder anti-vandalism action required

Hi, I see you have protected the Wikipedia:Project Tiger Editathon 2018 . But it does not seems sufficient. Instead new accounts are being made just for vandalism. Therefore, I propose protecting the page harder and setting it to Administrator level protection after doing one final check on the page. I am not an admin, which means I can't protect it, nor I will be able to edit it after protecting. That is why I am asking you. Thank you (in advance and for your work).--Navinsingh133 (talk) 08:16, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

They vandalized because the protection was already expired. Now I protected it for 3 months. Thanks for reporting. Stryn (talk) 09:20, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Food

Curd Rice

Hello! After the successful pilot program by Wikimedia India in 2015, Wiki Loves Food (WLF) is happening again in 2018 and this year, we are going International. To make this event a grand success, your direction is key. Please sign up as a volunteer or sign up on behalf of your affiliate here.--Abhinav619 (talk) 06:07, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello, c:Commons:Wiki Loves Food main page seems to be out-of-date. Somebody should update it. Only "Be a Part in 2018" is updated but it's not very informal page. No idea how I could help. Stryn (talk) 15:13, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Please reconsider…

You gave no reason for reverting me except "hmm". I actually don't want to edit anywhere anymore, so please let's get this over with. --Prüm (talk) 21:14, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

I didn't understand your request. So I put it back and let other steward to action if they desire. Stryn (talk) 21:22, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your consideration, I appreciate it. --Prüm (talk) 07:52, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Patroller

Hello. I am from Azerbijani Wikipedia. We've translated the words here for patrol system. What should be done after that?--►Neriman2003 ^talk 13:17, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

What do you want to happen? Stryn (talk) 13:18, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

I want to know what to do next.--►Neriman2003 ^talk 13:21, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

It depends what do you want to do. You can for example edit Wikipedia or translate other system messages. Stryn (talk) 13:22, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

We have translated system messages.--►Neriman2003 ^talk 13:23, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

So how can the patrol system be opened on Azerbijani Wikipedia?--►Neriman2003 ^talk 13:24, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Ok, so follow the instructios given at Requesting wiki configuration changes. Stryn (talk) 13:25, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

OK, thanks!--►Neriman2003 ^talk 13:26, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Help

Hello. First of all, sorry if the sentences written by me in English are not very coherent. It's because I'm using an automatic translator! I came across an improper use of that user's PU and tried to propose deletion, however I'm being blocked by an edit filter. As I am a more active editor of the Lusophone Wikipedia, I do not quite understand how things work here. On these days I will be monitoring the recent changes, which is the activity that I like to do most! How can I resolve this issue with filters? -Editor D.S (talk) 00:12, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

No idea. It's set that you can't edit user pages of other users. These guys here have set it and know how to modify it to allow setting "delete" template: Meta:Requests_for_help_from_a_sysop_or_bureaucrat#Notice_to_administrators_—_consideration_of_application_of_autopatrol_right.

nap.wiki

Hi Stryn, thank for the temporary flag. I've just a couple of questions about your comments…

As I've already started translating and checking the interface at translatewiki.net; in your comment do you meant some specific translation? Which images do you want me upload on Commons? Images of the Neapolitan interface? Cheers --Ruthven (msg) 16:45, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, well, it's just a general message that comes with the template that I added. It just means that interface messages should always be translated on translatewiki.net, not locally on Wikipedia. And that free files should be uploaded on Commons, not on local Wikipedia. Stryn (talk) 16:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Ahhh, I see. Thanks --Ruthven (msg) 18:29, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

A distributed troll housing

Hello.
Liza_Veniza’s exit points (such as 167.99.188.241 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • block user • block log • guc • checkip)) should be blocked long-term, not for one month or similar. These are proxy hosts which provide some (yet unidentified) distributed anonymizer service. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:09, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

situation

Hello Stryn, I see you are active on the wiki. Aaron Green may be sleeping now in their home country, and I do not know if a steward or administrator can best help me in my regard. Aaron gave me an IP excuse in a global manner, but I am system blocked on Wikipedia. There is an administrator on Wikipedia who declined the unblock ticket so I am not sure how to get in touch with somebody similar to Aaron. Maybe you can help me in this regard.

Jim Doen — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jim Doen (talk)

You edited the English Wikipedia just some minutes ago, so it seems your IP is not blocked there, or am I missing something? Stryn (talk) 19:10, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

I also just had send an email to your account because the system was locking me from editing the page. Somehow the system now permitted me to put this message to your talk page.

I am getting this kind of error when editing to a Wikipedia page:

View source for Robert Holmes Bell ← Robert Holmes Bell

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:

You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia.

You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them. Editing from 162.247.72.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by Mike V for the following reason(s):

Ah, so you are using a VPN that is blocked on English Wikipedia. Then I can't help you. You should contact the local administrators on English Wikipedia. Only they can give you a local IP block exempt. Global exempt won't work if there's a local block. Stryn (talk) 19:20, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Sorry about the signature situation. I hope I will perform the signature correctly. How can I make a contact to a local administrator because I am not able to edit on the Wikipedia? --Jim Doen (talk) 19:36, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

You should wait that some admin replies on your UTRS message. Stryn (talk) 19:40, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

UTRS is form for talking to local administrators? --Jim Doen (talk) 19:42, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Yes it is. I have an access to UTRS as a steward and I can see your appeal is waiting for response there. Just wait that they answer to you. Stryn (talk) 19:44, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Okay thank you. The matter of problem is not waiting but I am not confident in that I have made a ticket filing the correct way many of the time. Like before I made a ticket on my user page but an administrator said that it is better on UTRS. And, I have read on steward and administrator, but I do not know which type of Wikimedia representative to ask for help in certain situations that arise. I hope you can understand this confusion in this matter. --Jim Doen (talk) 19:47, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Welcome. And I understand that it's not clear for new users who to contact. Usually stewards can help on small wikis with no active administrators and cross-wiki issues, like locking vandals that are active on many wikis. Stryn (talk) 19:49, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Okay who can I come to ask if I am not sure? Maybe I can come to seek your direction in these matters? Also, I am not clear what is unblock or unlock because system told me make an unblock request but on my talk page one user told me to ask for help with unlock not unblock. --Jim Doen (talk) 19:51, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Locks are global blocks performed by stewards. Admins can only set local blocks. User on your talk page for some reason said "unlock" when he/she probably meant "unblock". Stryn (talk) 19:55, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Okay now the confusion is more clear. I will now leave you to your other duties, and I am really thankful to you again for your active guidance in these matters. --Jim Doen (talk) 19:59, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Stryn also how do other people know when I give a message to their message on my talk page? --Jim Doen (talk) 20:16, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jim Doen: You can use {{Ping|username here}} so they will get a notification. Stryn (talk) 20:17, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

@Stryn: Your page has such beautiful photos. How did you capture them? --Jim Doen (talk) 20:37, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Unlock the name

Hello. I ask you as an administrator to help unlock the name of the artist and a pseudonym for writing an article. Please help, be so kind. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dmitrii JM (talk)

I don't understand anything about your message, please rephrase. Stryn (talk) 17:45, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

I ask you to help remove the name and pseudonym of the artist from the blacklist, please help.Dmitrii JM (talk)

What artist and why should I do it? There's usually a good reason for blaclisted words. Stryn (talk) 17:51, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

But this artist is not a terrorist to bring him there, his works are known on the Internet, he portrays saints and not only, he has cosmic themes, he does not create anything forbidden. Article for example about him has the right to exist, at least for a while, as well as articles about other people. If it's not hard for you, then help get him out of there. His name is Alexander. Dmitrii JM (talk)

Aha, very helpful. Add your message to WM:RFH if you need help. Stryn (talk) 18:00, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

And what is the difference between this request to you from that? Dmitrii JM (talk)

I'm not the only admin on this wiki. And if you want something to happen write there. I won't do anything. Stryn (talk) 18:12, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Next steps for the wish “confirmation prompt for the rollback link”

Hello, a while ago you participated in a feedback round about a proposal how accidental clicks on the rollback link could be avoided. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and ideas!
Looking at the feedback and the rollback situation in different wikis, the development team decided how to approach this wish: As a default, most wikis won’t have a confirmation. But users who wish to have one, can enable it in their preferences, which will add a confirmation prompt to the rollback link on the diff page and on the list pages. The prompt won’t be a pop-up, but an inline prompt like for the thanks confirmation. You can read more about the planned solution and what influenced this decision on the project page. -- Best, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (talk) 09:41, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Latest message for Collaboration team newsletter; Growth team's newsletter invite

Hello

Sorry to use English if that's not your favorite language.

You are receiving this message because you were reading the Collaboration team newsletter.

The Collaboration team doesn't longer exists. That team was working on building features that encourage collaboration. This is the latest message for that newsletter.

The Growth Team, formed in July 2018, supports some former Collaboration projects. The Growth Team's main objective is to ease new editors' first steps on wikis, through software changes. You can discover all objectives and missions of the Growth team on its page.

If you wish to be informed about Growth team's updates about easing new users first steps, you can subscribe to the new list to get updates. The first message from Growth –with a call for feedback on a new project– will be posted in a few days!

If you have questions or you want to share experiences made on your wiki about new users' first steps, please post them on the team talk page, in any language.

Question

I wonder do you happen to be User:Kbstudio0121? Stryn (talk) 12:21, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

As you required, I've come back on meta to communicate with you; as I told you, there's a high risk that I'll be blocked again. If you can't help me with my block, at least tell me this, please: whatever the reason I was blocked, why such a great urgency to block me, the one just reporting a "Long-term abuse" case, while after over a month nobody has even checked the already blocked proxies to verify possible socks (not "block" them, just "check" if any) related to a proven "Long-term abuse" case? I'm not really worried about my blocked account, I'd just like a steward to check my information about that case, that is to verify whether or not "Fulgencio Kokomeci" and "MbretiBasha" are socks of the long-term abuser who created also the globally blocked socks "Myeuurn" and "Baka Líte" using a globally blocked proxy.

Help Request regarding collateral damage.

It appears that I am now unable to edit Wikipedia due to being caught in a Rangeblock targeting someone else. I have been editing Wikipedia for years, long enough to know that there is little chance that the block will be lifted before its full duration has passed. However, I am also blocked from account creation. I've never previously felt the need to create an account, but presently even that approach is unavailable to me. I feel I have something to offer the community, and can provide a history of successful edits (by IP address) if requested.

I included the following because I was requested to.

Hello Stryn,

If I remember correctly, we never communicated before, so my apologies if that ping was in any way jarring.

At any rate, this is all just FYI. GregorB (talk) 16:12, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

The Community Wishlist Survey

Hi,

You get this message because you’ve previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey. I just wanted to let you know that this year’s survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until 11 November: Community Wishlist Survey 2019.

You can vote from November 16 to November 30. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won’t send out a separate reminder to you about that. /Johan (WMF) 11:24, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

"Counties where I have visited" -- Counties -> Countries

Finland, where you live is a country. Sweden is also a country. I'm not giving a lecture, I'm just explaining why I tried to edit your main user page by doing a trivial spelling fix(cause I got an error, and in case my edit attempt shows up in some log I'd like to justify my edit). Thanks for your time. Dbfyinginfo (talk) 11:33, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

I know, it was just a typo. Stryn (talk) 11:52, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

AdvancedSearch -ilmoituksen suomennoksen katsauspyyntö

WMDE-kollegani ovat pyytäneet minua auttamaan kääntää tulevaa ilmoitusta Advanced Search -laajennuksesta. Yritykseni tulos on User:Johanna_Strodt_(WMDE)/Advanced_Search_Deployment_everywhere/fi. Jaksaisitko katsoa onko siinä mitään järkeä ja mahdollisesti korjata tai parentaa tuota suomennosta? Myönnän etten tunne wiki-suomea hyvin, ja että suomen kieleni on yleensä ruosteessa. En kuitenkaan haluaisi, että suomenkieliseen Wikipediaan ja muihin suomenkielisiin wikeihin lähettäisiin jotain täysin tyhmää tai epäselvää ilmoitusta. Sen takia uskallan pyytää apua sinulta.

Kiitos! Leszek Manicki (WMDE) (talk) 14:46, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Teksti oli jo täysin ymmärrettävää käännöstyösi jälkeen (kiitokset siitä), mutta kohensin ilmoituksen kieliasua hieman. –Ejs-80 15:47, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Extended to Dec: Wikipedia Asian Art Month with Metropolitan Museum of Art

Suzuri-bako, now in 11 languages!

I'd like to invite you to join Wikipedia Asian Art Month in the December extension of the sub-contest; if you write or translate just one article and include one of our images, you'll get a special Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard. And if you're one of the grand prize winners, you'll get a Met guidebook or Asian art publication.--Pharos (talk) 21:32, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia ky

Hi Stryn, I believe I did something wrong on Wikipedia (ky) after one of the editors complained about vandalism, the vandal confessed that all he did was vandalism (Please see [58] and [59]), so I deleted 500 editions [60] but I should have just reversed the edits and not deleted the pages, please can you re-create them? I'm afraid to do something wrong. Thank you. Regard. DARIO SEVERI (talk) 19:52, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Stryn, the problem was solved, the editor who did the wrong edits was acting in good faith, he used "only" the wrong language, but after being warned he was willing to cooperate to eliminate the wrong text/pages he made. He is helping me to correct his mistakes. Regards. DARIO SEVERI (talk) 13:11, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

"Who Wrote That" project update

Hello. I'm reaching out to you as you participated in the 2017 Community Wishlist proposal for "Who Wrote That" project (previously known as "Blame Tool"). The Community Tech team is kicking things off on the project and we have an early-stage mockup available for you to look at. I invite you to follow that project page, where I will be posting periodic status updates for the project. You are also welcome to provide your thoughts on the talk page. Thank you. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 22:57, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the information, I will globally block it then. I'm working same time, so I'm a bit slow now in actions. Stryn (talk) 07:59, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Question

Please, I want to understand this edition that happened one minute ago. Thanks. --Jalu (talk) 13:29, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Don't worry, some user was just vandalising there. Stryn (talk) 13:33, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

I worry because I am being harassed in many projects. Thank you so much.--Jalu (talk) 16:45, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

The Affiliate-selected Board seats process welcomes your support

Hello. You are receiving this message because you are active in the field of translations <3 The movement needs you! The Nominations phase has started for the ongoing selection process of two Board members, and the timeline is quite tight.

A Translation Central is available to help translators figure out what's been covered and what's left to do. Over the course of the next few weeks, your attention on candidates' profiles is particularly welcome.

While there are four languages that are especially relevant for multiple affiliates (namely Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish), you can also add others. If you can't help: please see if you know anyone in your circle who could, and spread the word :) Thank you! Elitre (WMF) and Facilitators of ASBS 2019, 13:20, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Wikimania 2020

Hi Stryn. thanks for your edit on the Wikimania 2020 page. I am not sure if it is a good idea to have the selection process before the expressions of interest, because it actually comes afterwards. what do you think? can i maybe revert it? thanks, iopensa (talk) 11:50, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

@Iopensa: hi, I wanted to move the expression of interest part to the bottom because someone can think that it's still possible to apply for host city. But sure, if you feel the old parts are useful to show up on the page before your latest update, you can undo my edit. Stryn (talk) 12:59, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Boom. You were told! A very naughty person o.O  :-)))  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:17, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

User script to access other watchlists

Hi Stryn,

If you remember, you participated in the 2019 Community Wishlist Survey, including the discussion for reviving "Crosswatch" to allow for cross-wiki watchlists (Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Watchlists/Revive Crosswatch tool).

I sent you this MassMessage because I wanted to let you know that I have made a user script to make accessing your watchlists on different wikis easier, since for now that wishlist item has not been actioned.

The way it works is that, on any wiki, when you look at your watchlist, there is a button labeled "CA" that takes you to the CentralAuth page for you. There, when looking at your own information, each link to a wiki ("meta.wikimedia.org", "www.wikidata.org", "de.wikipedia.org", etc.) is changed so that it links to your watchlist on that wiki.

If you are interested in using it, just add mw.loader.load('//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:DannyS712/Watchlist.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); to your global javascript page. This imports the code at m:User:DannyS712/Watchlist.js.

If you want to learn more, there is documentation for the script available at w:en:User:DannyS712/Watchlist. If you would like to discuss the script, talk to me at m:User talk:DannyS712.

Thanks, --05:50, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, but I can also include links to watchlists on my user page and open them from there :) Hopefully some day there will be functional global watchlist. Stryn (talk) 17:01, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

LPP/fr needs update

As changes applied for 12 days. --125.36.185.11 03:07, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

I don't know French. Stryn (talk) 06:56, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I suppose that user wrote you because of your revert in that page history and that they didn't notice at all what the users changed on the pages they edited once or if they possibly have been inactive since many years. That's not a very effective way of writing to people. Greetings --2A02:908:D83:E460:216:CBFF:FEAD:FF9 09:09, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
