Tech News: 2024-46
editLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- On wikis with the Translate extension enabled, users will notice that the FuzzyBot will now automatically create translated versions of categories used on translated pages. [1]
- View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the submitted task to use the SecurePoll extension for English Wikipedia's special administrator election was resolved on time. [2]
Updates for technical contributors
In 1.44.0-wmf-2, the logic of Wikibase functiongetAllStatementschanged to behave likegetBestStatements. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [3]- Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.
In depth
- Admins and users of the Wikimedia projects where Automoderator is enabled can now monitor and evaluate important metrics related to Automoderator's actions. This Superset dashboard calculates and aggregates metrics about Automoderator's behaviour on the projects in which it is deployed. Thanks to the Moderator Tools team for this Dashboard; you can visit the documentation page for more information about this work. [4]
Meetings and events
- 21 November 2024 (8:00 UTC & 16:00 UTC) - Community call with Wikimedia Commons volunteers and stakeholders to help prioritize support efforts for 2025-2026 Fiscal Year. The theme of this call is how content should be organised on Wikimedia Commons.

Editions to Meet the press article
edithello, In my opinion, it was enought good, it would have been easy check from youtube. I understand that rules and my opinion may be in conflict and rules always win.
I did now add plenty of citations (maybe too many, but i did try point pattern), and did try again. 2001:14BB:67F:DF14:4454:D21B:C08A:ABA9 (talk) 23:42, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
And by the way, in upper there reed that
"Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits"
It was not wandalism, it was clearly good faith edit. I could cry about this to someone, but i don't mind, i hope you remember next time what is right way to do. Some one else could say Keep your damn jack! And it would be lose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:14BB:67F:DF14:4454:D21B:C08A:ABA9 (talk) 23:51, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for adding a citation, though it appears someone else reverted your most recent edit. I never claimed your edit was vandalism or not in good faith. C F A 💬 23:53, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- I did not claim so, i just wanted point to you rules about rollbacking, because i notice that rule and to me your actions was in conflict with that rule.
- How i can report user Neiltonks, because that user clearly broke that rollback rule and did not want fix citations and did not feel need try contact.
And i did try one time more. It is very fustrating see roll back after goodfaith editions.2001:14BB:67F:DF14:4454:D21B:C08A:ABA9 (talk) 00:16, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Neither of us used rollback inappropriately. My edit summary was "Reverted edits by 2001:14BB:67F:DF14:4454:D21B:C08A:ABA9 (talk): not providing a reliable source " and Neiltonks didn't even use rollback to revert your edit. Rolling back your edit without an edit summary would have been inappropriate. C F A 💬 00:23, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Then i have misunderstand terms and i am sorry for acusing based wrong understanding. But still my point stand, in my opinion you and that Neiltonks should have fix, not removing edits. But it is just my opinion.
- I asume that my edit are now acceptable.
- and thank you for constructive dialog. 2001:14BB:67F:DF14:4454:D21B:C08A:ABA9 (talk) 00:46, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Hello how do I create my website --JaxxVault (talk) 20:17, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
I have prepared my submission in my GaylaKH sandbox and hit PUBLISHED. How do I submit it for through the Articles for Creation (AfC) process, which allows editors to review and approve it for publication. I couldn't find a banner that says "Submit your draft for review" to click on and submit it. --GaylaKH (talk) 06:15, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi GaylaKH, someone has added the blue submission button to your sandbox. You can now click it to submit your draft for review. You might also be interested in reading Wikipedia's policy on autobiographies. Happy editing, C F A 💬 14:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks. I can have someone else submit the bio if you prefer. Appreciate all that you do. My husband and I donate to Wiki and hope you continue to thrive. You have a great mission! GaylaKH (talk) 17:12, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Katherine "Katie" Breann Cooper redirect
editA redirect that I created was put up for deletion, then voted to be kept and subsequently closed by you. The same person who put it up for deletion immediately put it up for speedy deletion. What can be done about this? Shoot for the Stars (talk) 17:02, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm not sure what they're doing. Blethering Scot, there was clear consensus to keep at the RfD. C F A 💬 17:06, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
About adding ai-generated tag
editHello, I came across your message you posted on my user page. I compiled information from various reliable sources and formatted new pages for new parlimentarians in Sri Lanka using an appropriate template to ensure clarity and consistency. I did use a language model to help refine grammar and wording where necessary, but the core research and structure were my own. Given this approach, would it still be necessary to tag the page as AI-generated? TIA. Indunil Chamara (talk) 17:37, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- No, because the text you're adding is 1) not at all neutral and 2) completely unsourced. As you are writing biographies of living people, it is very important to make sure all information is verifiable and cited. The text you are adding is also blatantly promotional. Please write using your own words. C F A 23:59, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
