editLatest 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
Two new parser functions will be available this week:
{{#dir}}and{{#bcp47}}. These will reduce the need forTemplate:DirandTemplate:BCP47on Commons and allow us to drop 100 million rows from the "what links here" database. Editors at any wiki that use these templates, can help by replacing the templates with these new functions. The templates at Commons will be updated during the Hackathon at Wikimania. [1][2]- Communities can request the activation of the visual editor on entire namespaces where discussions sometimes happen (for instance Wikipedia: or Wikisource: namespaces) if they understand the known limitations. For discussions, users can already use DiscussionTools in these namespaces.
- The tracking category "Pages using Timeline" has been renamed to "Pages using the EasyTimeline extension" in TranslateWiki. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.
Project updates
- Editors who help to organize WikiProjects and similar on-wiki collaborations, are invited to share ideas and examples of successful collaborations with the Campaigns and Programs teams. You can fill out a brief survey or share your thoughts on the talkpage. The teams are particularly looking for details about successful collaborations on non-English wikis.

- There will be more than 200 sessions at Wikimania this week. Here is a summary of some of the key sessions related to the product and technology area.
- The latest Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin is available.
- The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New design previews for Translatable pages; Updates about MinT for Wiki Readers; the release of Translation dumps; and more.
- The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available.

2027 CWC Qualifier
editHey there! You didn't mention why the pages 2027 Cricket World Cup Qualifier and 2027 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off were moved to a redirect page again? Thanks! Sneshik (talk) 11:09, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- There too far events and to avoid them being just stubs they can be developed in draftspace. i.e: Draft:2027 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:12, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe we can just mark it as a stub page with a stub template. The reason why I created these articles is because there were a lot of redirects when I wanted to know more about 2027 CWC qualification process. I think stub pages are better than redirects. What do you think? Sneshik (talk) 11:23, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's just WP:TOOSOON, also there was an afd for this qualifier - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2026 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:28, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:2027 Cricket World Cup stadiums
editA tag has been placed on Category:2027 Cricket World Cup stadiums indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
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. Liz Read! Talk! 16:56, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz Thanks for the notice; the thing is I have a poor connectivity problem due to which my edits are sort of delayed. Otherwise, I am adding the pages to this category. There will be a total of 12 pages here. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 17:10, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
File:2027 CWC Fanmade Logo.png listed for discussion
editA file that you uploaded or altered, File:2027 CWC Fanmade Logo.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:06, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- This isn't a fandom site, so "fan made" fake logos are not appropriate encyclopedic content. Please don't make any more of these. Joseph2302 (talk) 06:53, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Joseph2302:
- I didn't create/design the image.
- I am not the initial uploader.
- I didn't name it that way.
- It was already in Commons, I just cropped it to the text and added it to the Sidebar, that's all. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 09:27, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- My apologies, the image history on English Wikipedia implied you had created it. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:09, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

editLatest 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
- AbuseFilter editors and maintainers can now make a CAPTCHA show if a filter matches an edit. This allows communities to quickly respond to spamming by automated bots. [3]
- Stewards can now specify if global blocks should prevent account creation. Before this change by the Trust and Safety Product Team, all global blocks would prevent account creation. This will allow stewards to reduce the unintended side-effects of global blocks on IP addresses.
Project updates
- Nominations are open on Wikitech for new members to refresh the Toolforge standards committee. The committee oversees the Toolforge Right to fork policy and Abandoned tool policy among other duties. Nominations will remain open until at least 2024-08-26.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in West Coast Bajau (

MfD nomination of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Premier League (cricket)
edit Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Premier League (cricket), a page which you created or substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; you may participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Premier League (cricket) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Premier League (cricket) during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:29, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Just to say, this isn't specifically targeted at you or WikiProject WPL. I think merging all the cricket tournament WikiProjects into main cricket project is good idea, and appreciate that you created the WPL because those ones existed, which seemed reasonable at the time. It's been on my to-do list for a few years to try and merge them all back in, because some other editors on some of the other WikiProjects have been a pain on cricket articles in the past, and so having it centralised should make things better. Someone showed me the procedure for the merge a month or two ago, which is why I'm suggesting it now. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:10, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
August 2024
editYour recent editing history at 2027 Cricket World Cup shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
edit
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Vestrian24Bio reported by User:Thewikizoomer (Result: ). Thank you. Thewikizoomer (talk) 11:55, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Accusations of vandalism
editIn this edit, Sxnxtxn added what appear to be two Indic-script versions of "2023 Asia Cup" to the article 2023 Asia Cup. They did so without an edit summary: poor practice, but very common practice. If the addition is what I think, then it contravenes WP:NOINDICSCRIPT. In your reversion of the edit you call it vandalism. This surprises me, because it doesn't look like my idea of vandalism. But of course my idea of vandalism is of little importance. What matters is Wikipedia's idea of vandalism. Please read that page, carefully.
Please do not accuse other editors of vandalism when what they've done isn't defined by Wikipedia as vandalism.
If I seem to have misunderstood something, please feel free to correct me. -- Hoary (talk) 02:47, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Revert
editThe reason for the removal is already mentioned. The sources from production companies are not considered reliable and removed other unreliable source. Charliehdb (talk) 14:59, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Who says they are not reliable? Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 15:01, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- See WP:PRIMARY. Charliehdb (talk) 15:05, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- It says this:
A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge.

Feature news
- Editors who want to re-use references but with different details such as page numbers, will be able to do so by the end of 2024, using a new sub-referencing feature. You can read more about the project and how to test the prototype.
- Editors using tracking categories to identify which pages use specific extensions may notice that six of the categories have been renamed to make them more easily understood and consistent. These categories are automatically added to pages that use specialized MediaWiki extensions. The affected names are for: DynamicPageList, Kartographer, Phonos, RSS, Score, WikiHiero. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match. Thanks to Pppery for these improvements. [5]
categoriesproperty ofmw.title objects. This enables wikis to configure workflows such as category-specific edit notices. Thanks to SD001 for these improvements. [6][7]
Bugs status
Talk:WP:so that their titles start withWikipedia talk:), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/ instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed. A full log (including pages for which appropriate names could be found) is available in phab:P67388.- Editors who volunteer as mentors to newcomers on their wiki are once again able to access lists of potential mentees who they can connect with to offer help and guidance. This functionality was restored thanks to a bug fix. Thank you to Mbch331 for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 18 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
- The application deadline for the Product & Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) has been extended to September 16. Members will help by providing advice to Foundation Product and Technology leadership on short and long term plans, on complex strategic problems, and help to get feedback from more contributors and technical communities. Selected members should expect to spend roughly 5 hours per month for the Council, during the one year pilot. Please consider applying, and spread the word to volunteers you think would make a positive contribution to the committee.
