WikiCup 2024 April newsletter

Our current top scorers are as follows:

Competitors may submit work for the second round until the end of 28 April, and the third round starts 1 May. Remember that only competitors with the top 32 scores will make it through to the third round. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs. As a reminder, competitors are strictly prohibited from gaming Wikipedia policies or processes to receive more points.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please read Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

Tech News: 2024-16

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

Problems

  • Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [1][2]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [3][4]
  • Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [5]
  • A new variable page_last_edit_age will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [6]

Future changes

  • Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
  • Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filter and abuse_filter_history tables. Some queries might need to be updated. [7]

I Can See Your Voice franchise

Pinging @BilledMammal, Gonnym, Queen of Hearts: Good day. Thanks for the contribution in relating to mass renamings for the I Can See Your Voice franchise. In case that you made the right decision on categories, please deliberate these (other proposed renamings) before you perform the operation. Remember, I Can See Your Voice is a unique program with format of "mystery music game show" that originated in South Korea in 2015, which is technically classified as a "game show" genre.

Future changes

  • This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of Special:MyPage/vector.js to Special:MyPage/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [11]

Namelist pages

Hi Queen of Hearts :)

I'm currently thinking about namelist pages, and about whether they're thought of more as disambiguation pages or as stand-alone lists - in particular, for the purposes of rcat tagging (e.g. whether a redirect from Fred (surname) to Fred (name) would be an {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} or an {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}; whether a redirect from Ffransis (disambiguation) to Ffransis would be an {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} or an {{R to disambiguation page}}; etc). Looking through my contribs to see how I'd previously used rcats for these sorts of situations myself, I noticed that in February, you added {{R to disambiguation page}} to a redirect I'd created via JWB (Vilhelmsen (disambiguation)); so I was curious to know what your thoughts/understandings were on the subject.

All the best (and thank you for the kitten you gave me last month ❤️), ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 10:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello @A smart kitten, nice to see you around. I did that JWB job off of a Quarry query which checks for untagged redirects from "Foo (disambiguation)" to "Foo". I didn't realize the target was a surname list. I figured {{R to disambiguation page}} would say something about pages that serve a disambiguation-like purpose, but nope. IMO, redirects like this should be tagged to disambiguation, but I'd ask at Template talk:R to disambiguation page. Queen of ♡ | speak 19:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

CFD closure

Hello, I'm on my phone right now so I can't cut and paste links but I was looking at a CFD discussion you closed yesterday about an Anti-mainlander Hong Kong" category.

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see this page. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

What kind of dark magic do you use to rotate the color on your signature? Levivich (talk) 20:13, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Top secret, @Levivich. But if you promise not to tell the signature police, it substitutes a user subpage which has a {{random item}} with eight colors (red, black, blue, yellow, purple, brown, and pink). Cheers, Queen of ♡ | speak 20:36, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Update

I was trying to update a Wikimedia commons file http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vital_Articles_World_Map_Article_Quality.svg however it won’t let me. Reason for update was because East Timor is a GA, not a C class article as the map suggests. Would it be possible if you could help in this process? Because by the time you updated the file you also did not update East Timor. Is there a way I can update the file? 48JCL talk 01:22, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
