Question

Hey CFA! Have a q. I came across this draft in AfC Draft:Trees in the Book of Mormon and saw that it's attributed as being translated from the polish wikipedia [1]. I noticed that it was translated using google translate and while it's not an exact copy and paste, there are some sections that do match. So was just wondering what the general rule of thumb is for approaching such articles? Thanks. Eucalyptusmint (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eucalyptusmint. There's not much you can do, aside from tagging the article with {{rough translation}} and leaving the creator a note. I'd just assess it as I would any other draft. It's an OKA translation, which, in my experience, are usually fairly well done. C F A 02:32, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, ya overall it seemed pretty good but wasn't sure since, like I said, there are few paragraphs/sentences that match exactly. But, will do. Thank you! Eucalyptusmint (talk) 23:53, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please move Social media influencer back to Influencer

Please move Social media influencer back to Influencer so that I can commence a WP:RM discussion from the original location as protocol suggests.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:09, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You should ask InfiniteNexus to revert their move. I'm not going to judge whether there's consensus for it. C F A 00:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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 Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, English Wikivoyage, French Wikipedia, Hungarian Wikipedia, Nepali Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia) [2]
  • One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Tigre (w:tig:) [3]
  • Recurrent item 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. [4]

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item 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.
  • Advanced item 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 sub field, 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. [5]
  • 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. [6]
