Rae, one of my first interactions with you was emailing answers@ over the summer when I wanted to know how the UCOC was licensed. Thank you for the diligent follow up to my question. But since then I have enjoyed getting to know you better, and it was a pleasure meeting you at WCNA. I hope to see you in NYC for WCNA2025 :) Best to you and yours in 2025, and happy holidays!

Question from Mkbonline (16:37, 24 December 2024)
What we can change? --Mkbonline (talk) 16:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Mkbonline: What do you want to change? You can edit almost all pages :) Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 18:21, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
Question from Ysrkavali on Pattapu language (14:37, 25 December 2024)
I need to add links and need to add some content it's not not shwoing --Ysrkavali (talk) 14:37, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Ysrkavali: I've made an edit to format the link as a citation, and to restore content I think you accidentally partially removed in a previous edit. If you're using the visual editor, there's an easy tool for automatic citations. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 18:27, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- thank you Ysrkavali (talk) 00:30, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
Question from Ibrahim01721 (12:00, 26 December 2024)
If I don’t give any references or links in my article then will Misplaced Pages remove it? --Ibrahim01721 (talk) 12:00, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Ibrahim01721: generally, yes other editors would remove or fix unsourced content. Be sure to include sources for content that you add. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 03:57, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Question from Etzel Provence on User talk:Etzel Provence (22:26, 27 December 2024)
Waarom word deze info van Etzel verwijderd? Er is niks mis mee. Hij is een belangrijke invloed geweest op de muziek van curacao. Hij is 4 jaar geleden overleden. En het is belangrijk dat zijn legacy blijft leven voor iedereen die naar zijn info zoekt. --Etzel Provence (talk) 22:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- It looks like an editor has since provided context on your talk page. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 03:58, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

CheckUser changes
[REDACTED] Oversight changes
![[REDACTED]](https://u3vuiephb.global.ssl.fastly.net/File:Oversight_logo.png){kind=link}
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Tech News: 2025-03
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See the SUL3 project page for more details and a timeline.
Updates for editors
- On wikis with PageAssessments installed, you can now filter search results to pages in a given WikiProject by using the
inproject:keyword. (These wikis: Arabic Misplaced Pages, English Misplaced Pages, English Wikivoyage, French Misplaced Pages, Hungarian Misplaced Pages, Nepali Misplaced Pages, Turkish Misplaced Pages, Chinese Misplaced Pages) - One new wiki has been created: a Misplaced Pages in Tigre (
w:tig:) 
View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the MediaWiki Interfaces Team in Phabricator if they arise.- Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI.
- For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 returned a JSON object with an integer in its
subfield, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. - Many wikis currently use Cite CSS to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to not clean up your MediaWiki:Common.css until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output.
Meetings and events
- The next meeting in the series of Wikimedia Foundation Community Conversations with the Wikimedia Commons community will take place on January 15 at 8:00 UTC and at 16:00 UTC. The topic of this call is defining the priorities in tool investment for Commons. Contributors from all wikis, especially users who are maintaining tools for Commons, are welcome to attend.

Question from GravyOnToast (06:15, 20 January 2025)
Good Morning/Evening Rae,
I've been busy with life and university so haven't had much time devoted to Misplaced Pages. How would one go about making a user page? Is it essentially a sandbox or is it more of a professional profile?
ps. Happy New Year! --GravyOnToast (talk) 06:15, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @GravyOnToast! Click on your username here (a red link), and it'll open the editor for your userpage. It's not a place for a profile/resume, just a place where you can let other editors know a bit about you. For info on what people generally include, I'd recommend reviewing WP:UPYES. And happy new year! Best, Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 17:33, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
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.
