Speedy deletion nomination of Jack Steadman (disambiguation)
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Jack Steadman (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:35, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-30
[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.
Feature News
- Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
- Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and Minerva skin was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to Codex by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [1]
- Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via GlobalVanishRequest. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [2]
- Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone.
- Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the Commons Impact Metrics analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [3]
Project Updates
- Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened Community Wishlist. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.

- Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on Diff.
- How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent blog post by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the WMF Future Audience initiative, where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a ChatGPT plugin and Add a Fact, to help take Wikimedia into the future.

Question from Morekiranwiki on User:Morekiranwiki/sandbox (18:53, 24 July 2024)
[edit]Hey hello, ab
Can you help me to fix this speedy deletion page issue. --Morekiranwiki (talk) 18:53, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Morekiranwiki yeah... The solution is to stop writing promotional stuff or edit with a conflict of interest. If it is notable by Wikipedia's measure, someone else will write about the subject by their own volition. – robertsky (talk) 00:40, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Robertsky,
I was wondering how often this bot updated the Admin Stats report. For a long time, the original bot updated only once a day but that was changed to updating JamesR's page about every 3-4 hours. AdminStatsBot 2 seems more irregular so I just thought I'd inquire. Thanks for setting up this bot so quickly after JamesR's passing and the previous bot's blocking. Liz Read! Talk! 15:58, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz, when I took over the toolforge tool, adminstats, I left the bot settings as they were. As it was configured before, it is supposed to run at every 3 hours, making 8 edits a day. When I tested the script, it took about 1.5 hours to complete its database queries. The actual duration of each run may differ as we are using the analytics replica. There's no output to the error log since I had taken over. The only hypothesis that I can think of for <8 edits a day is replication lag. If there is a replication lag happening across several edits/runs, the subsequent update(s) on the page during the replication lag would effectively be a null edit. What I can do is to put timestamps on the report, when the queries start and end at the very least. If it is observed that it takes more than 3 hours for many of its runs to complete, I will adjust it downwards a longer interval. – robertsky (talk) 04:06, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
