Latest revision as of 00:25, 23 January 2025

Hello. I'm I dream of horses. My pronouns are she/her/herself. I live in the Pacific Time Zone. Please be sure that you mean to contact me and not someone else. I have a FAQ here, which you should pursue before asking me anything. Other ways to contact me are listed here. I don't review drafts on request. If you want to ask a question anyone can answer, you'll most likely receive a reply more quickly if you ask it somewhere else or click Help! If you do ask a question here, a talk page watcher might (rarely!) reply, so don't be confused about that. I'm willing to talk to members of the press, per this notice.

Tech News: 2025-04

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

• Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using Extension:Nuke. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address.
• On wikis that use the Patrolled edits feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as "manually patrolled" instead of "autopatrolled", which is more accurate. Some editors that use filters on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings.
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the Visual Editor's "Insert link" feature did not always suggest existing pages properly when an editor started typing, which has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

• The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is being progressively removed from the wikis. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. The last group of wikis (Catalan Wikiquote, Wikimedia Finland, Goan Konkani Misplaced Pages, Kabyle Misplaced Pages, Portuguese Wikibooks, Wikimedia Sweden) will soon be contacted. If you have questions about this process, please ping Trizek (WMF) at your wiki.
• The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: updates about services from the Data Platform Engineering teams, information about Codex from the Design System team, and more.

Question from Koipond22 (23:19, 22 January 2025)

Hi there, I want to add a lyric from the song "Humble." by Kendrick Lamar that references Howard "Sandman" Sims to Sims' page, in the "In Pop Culture" tab. I am struggling a bit to understand the rules on song lyrics, like how to cite them and what constitutes fair use. Some guidance would be greatly appreciated. --Koipond22 (talk) 23:19, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
