Hello!
[edit]Hi, I hope you're doing well! You responded to me on the Kalki film page, and I couldn't help but check out your profile. You seem like a jack of all trades and I started to admire your work and ethics. Fanism aside, I’ve recently written a new article, and I would appreciate your insights and feedback. Thanks! Meowedits (talk) 16:49, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Meowedits, hey, thanks for dropping by and for the AfC draft. But I have been away from AfC for the past two months and will try to pick it up later. As the edit notice on this page say, go through User:The Herald/AfC Essentialities and submit the draft and wait. Either me or someone else will review it and accept. It won't be fair for the huge backlog of 1000s of other drafts if I go out of the way and review yours. Happy editing. Thanks. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 17:55, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-37
[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
- Starting this week, the standard syntax highlighter will receive new colors that make them compatible in dark mode. This is the first of many changes to come as part of a major upgrade to syntax highlighting. You can learn more about what's to come on the help page. [1][2]
- Editors of wikis using Wikidata will now be notified of only relevant Wikidata changes in their watchlist. This is because the Lua functions
entity:getSitelink()
andmw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid)
will have their logic unified for tracking different aspects of sitelinks to reduce junk notifications from inconsistent sitelinks tracking. [3]
Project updates
- Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [4]
- Contributors of 11 Wikipedias, including English will have a new
MOS
namespace added to their Wikipedias. This improvement ensures that links beginning withMOS:
(usually shortcuts to the Manual of Style) are not broken by Mooré Wikipedia (language codemos
). [5]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:316x316bb.png
[edit]A tag has been placed on File:316x316bb.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
