Hi Terasail, was looking at the [[QAnon]] opening paragraph. I know that Wikipedia is [[WP:NOTCENSORED]], however I feel like having this in the opening: ''"Followers had also migrated to dedicated message boards such as EndChan and 8chan (now rebranded as "8kun"), where they organized to wage information warfare to influence the 2020 United States presidential election"'' will only send more people to kooky forums like 8kun. What do you think about excluding that from the opening paragraph? Thanks. [[User:Sxologist|Sxologist]] ([[User talk:Sxologist|talk]]) 02:59, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

WikiProject Samsung Electronics

Hello, Terasail. I recently made a proposal to create Wikiproject Samsung Electronics and was hoping that you would like to be among the first to support it! I chose you as I noticed you were creating a draft for Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast, which is one of my favorite tech podcasts as well, and hoped that your love for tech would be valuable to the WikiProject if it were ever formed. If you would look over and put your name on this page, it would mean a lot to me! Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 14:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@EDG 543:, Thanks for the comment however I do not think I would join a WikiProject based on just a brand for a few reasons, as you pointed out in a reply to an oppose comment, there are WikiProjects like this but they are also tagged as semi-active. This is probably due to a limited scope which can become uninteresting after a while and only have a limited number of articles applicable. Instead you might wish to think about a WikiProject:Consumer Electronics for example or maybe make a taskforce in WikiProject:Technology on Samsung electronics. Thanks Terasail[Talk] 15:43, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thank you for your consideration. I will certainly think about changing this WikiProject into something broader or into a task force, as some have suggested. I really do appreciate your feedback! Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 15:54, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your Rollback rights request

Moved from here
@Eyebeller:The edit warning in August was a mistake that I made while editing an episode list two months ago. The edit minimum is just there so that your record can be checked over multiple edits to show if you are using tools correctly and following policies rather than, the higher the number the better chance you have at getting a user permission. That's my opinion anyway. Please move this to my talk page if you want to continue this, Thanks. Terasail[Talk] 14:49, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Terasail, moving the discussion here as requested. The edit count is also there to make sure that the user has a good record of counter-vandalism. People with 200 mainspace edits are still unlikely to be granted Rollback rights. Eyebeller (talk) 15:00, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eyebeller, I am well aware of how the systems work. I don't have 200 edits so i'm not sure why you keep mentioning it since it doesn't apply to me, I might not have as many as some but its besides the point. I have enough to request and if an admin decides that I am not ready for the permission it is fine by me, I will continue to do my own thing. If you are to continue to comment on peoples requests then try to be more considerate as in my oppinion you came off as quite condescending by floating peoples edit warning record and edit count, as if it makes them less than others. And since this is just admins giving permissions and not a discussion page I don't particularly see the need in creating large message blocks such as with Ravenzing request. Terasail[Talk] 15:27, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry that I came across condescendingly, however, I do think your edit count is too low - that is just my opinion. I have explained the reasons why I comment on other people requests (on Ravenzing's request). I did not intend to create a large message block. 15:32, 13 October 2020 (UTC) Eyebeller (talk) 15:32, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Eyebeller, I think we all understand that you didn’t intend to create a large message block on the RPERM page, because I’m confident that you didn’t intend for candidates to openly object to your drive-by commentary. Please remove the thread you started from my request as well. Thanks. Zing(Talk!) 16:10, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it needs removing if it isn't continued any longer. Eyebeller (talk) 16:13, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Eyebeller, I would like to continue the discussion. Since you started the discussion, please move it to my talk page. Please move the entire thread, starting with your initial unsolicited comment. Thanks Zing(Talk!) 16:45, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have moved the discussion and will continue it providing you change your tone immediately. Thanks. Eyebeller (talk) 17:17, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Terasail. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have temporarily enabled rollback on your account until 2020-11-15. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Anarchyte (talk • work) 10:27, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2020-43

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

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 October. It will be on all wikis from 22 October (calendar).

Future changes

  • You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on 27 October around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [1]
  • Advanced item In the AbuseFilter extension, the rmspecials() function will be updated soon so that it does not remove the "space" character. Wikis are advised to wrap all the uses of rmspecials() with rmwhitespace() wherever necessary to keep filters' behavior unchanged. You can use the search function on Special:AbuseFilter to locate its usage. [2]
  • Some gadgets and user-scripts use the HTML div with the ID #jump-to-nav. This div will be removed soon. Maintainers should replace these uses with either #siteSub or #mw-content-text. A list of affected scripts is at the top of phab:T265373.

Orphaned non-free image File:TQGLogo.png

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:TQGLogo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:51, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2020-44

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

  • You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on October 27 around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [3]
  • Last week, links to "diffs" from mobile watchlists and recentchanges were linking to page-revisions instead of diffs. This has now been fixed. [4]

Changes later this week

  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

  • Since the introduction of the interface administrators user group in 2018, administrators couldn’t view the deleted history of CSS/JS pages. Now they can. [5]
  • There was a problem with the Change Tags. The software would apply the "Reverted" tag to any page actions such as page-protection changes if they came directly after a reverted edit. This has now been fixed for new edits. [6]
  • The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias in November. Another announcement will be made once the date is finalized. [7]

Tech News: 2020-45

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

Recent changes

  • You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser uses very old TLS. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It could lead to downgrade attacks. Since October 29, 2020, users who use old TLS versions will not be able to connect to Wikimedia projects. A list of browser recommendations is available. All modern operating systems and browsers are always able to reach Wikimedia projects. [8]
  • Advanced item There is a new automatic tracking category available: Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments. It collects pages which use the {{formatnum}} parser function with invalid (non-numeric) input, e.g. {{formatnum:TECHNEWS}}. Note that {{formatnum:123,456}} is also invalid input: as described in the documentation, the argument should be unformatted so that it can be reliably and correctly localised. The tracking category will help identify problematic usage and double-formatting. The new tracking category's name can be translated at translatewiki. [9]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from November 3. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from November 4. It will be on all wikis from November 5 (calendar).
  • Administrators and stewards will be able to use a special page (Special:CreateLocalAccount) to force local account creation for a global account. This is useful when account creation is blocked for that user (by a block or a filter). [10]
  • The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias on November 4. This change excludes the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias, plus a few smaller Wikipedias with special circumstances. You can read the help page and the troubleshooting guide for more information. [11]

Future changes

  • A discussion has been restarted about using a Unicode minus sign (− U+2212) in the output of {{formatnum}} when it is given a negative argument. [12]
  • In the future IP addresses of unregistered users will not be shown for everyone. They will get an alias instead. There will be a new user right or an opt-in function for more vandal fighters to see the IPs of unregistered users. There would be some criteria for who gets the user right or opt-in. There will also be other new tools to help handle vandalism. This is early in the process and the developers are still collecting information from the communities before they suggest solutions.

List of generic and genericized trademarks

Hi, I've redone my change to List of generic and genericized trademarks with citations. In an unexpected twist, the Durex trademark is owned in Australia by the condom manufacturer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rqb (talk • contribs) 21:07, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Query

Hi Terasail, was looking at the last opening paragraph on QAnon. I know that Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED, however I feel like having this in the opening: "Followers had also migrated to dedicated message boards such as EndChan and 8chan (now rebranded as "8kun"), where they organized to wage information warfare to influence the 2020 United States presidential election" will only send more people to kooky forums like 8kun. What do you think about excluding that from the opening paragraph? Thanks. Sxologist (talk) 02:59, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
