Is that you DumbBOT? —usernamekiran(talk) 19:59, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See Special:Diff/1283820024, in an attempt to remove the AMP url, it made the URL an unhelpful ambiguous URL.

Luckily, the URL wasn't really necessary before since it was syndicated from another source, which I replaced with the original source. I would not be surprised if a lot of yardbarker links did this, since they mostly syndicated then pull articles from other sources, but these become harder to find when they go from this amp url to a more ambiguous one. Might need a quick review to see if this happened anywhere else. If you have a list, I can go through and try and fix them with the original source.

@Chew: Hi. Yes, none of the yardbarker URLs were usable when I found the issue a few weeks ago. So I added the yardbarker domain to the ignore list, and removed all the problematic yardbarker URLs from the database. There were quite a few of them. Currently there are only seven yardbarker URLs in the database that were operational. I undid all the changes I could find, seems like I missed some. Unfortunately, I do not have a list (as I removed them from the database), but most of the problematic edits were undone. —usernamekiran (talk) 15:09, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, thank you! I'll try and go through and just remove them all if I can for my prior reasons, just wanted to make sure you were aware as well. Appreciate it Chew^{(V • T • E)} 00:37, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want to publish an article about a notable artist in Tanzania, how do I do it --Mamcada (talk) 21:03, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mamcada: Hello. I am guessing this is about Draft:Mamcada Hadsome. To put it shortly, it doesnt matter how good the article/page looks. The article, or the singer in this case, has to meet the criteria of WP:NSINGER. Like Theroadislong said in their review, Mamcada Hadsome needs more independent coverage. You can find more information about that at WP:reliable sources. Also, there is an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk#21:44, 2 July 2025 review of submission by Mamcada. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:02, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I wish to SUGGEST three prominent people to write a Wiki article about. There actions affected 1000s of people across the USA and were in front of national media cameras. They graduated from my high school. But you are impartial. I cant add their names into Wiki content unless there is already an article about them. Here are the suggested Three Names and Major Newspaper Articles or Bio Sites about them to help you write a suggested article. They often made quite a few articles and headlines! These articles or Bios were all retrieved today, July 5, 2025.

They are:

Thank you for these considerations! Stevespacek1 (talk) 19:36, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Stevespacek1: Hello. Thank you for reaching out, but unfortunately, I do not create articles about alive people anymore. You may request for an article at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Biography/By profession. But kindly keep in mind, all of us are volunteers here, so there would not be a "quick response". —usernamekiran (talk) 14:30, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the tip--will follow up on it!

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2025).

Administrator changes

NuclearWarfare

Interface administrator changes

L235

Guideline and policy news

• Following a talk page discussion, speedy deletion criterion G13 has been amended to remove "Userspace with no content except the article wizard placeholder text."
• WP:Manual of Style/Superscripts and subscripts was upgraded to a guideline following a RfC discussion.

Miscellaneous

• The 2025 Developing Countries WikiContest will run from 1 July to 30 September. Sign up now!
• Administrator elections will take place this month. Administrator elections are an alternative to RFA that is a gentler process for candidates due to secret voting and multiple people running together. The call for candidates is July 9–15, the discussion phase is July 18–22, and the voting phase is July 23–29. Get ready to submit your candidacy, or (with their consent) to nominate a talented candidate!

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

Weekly highlight

• Temporary accounts have been rolled out on 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias, including German, Japanese, French, and Chinese. Now, about 1/3 of all logged-out activity across wikis is coming from temporary accounts. Users involved in patrolling may be interested in two new documentation pages: Access to IP, explaining everything related to access to temporary account IP addresses, and Repository with a list of new gadgets and user scripts.

Updates for editors

• Anyone can play an experimental new game, WikiRun, that lets you race through Wikipedia by clicking from one article to another, aiming to reach a target page in as few steps and in as little time as possible. The project's goal is to explore new ways of engaging readers. Try playing the game and let the team know what you think on the talk page.
• Users of the Wikipedia Android app in some languages can now play the new trivia game. Which came first? is a simple history game where you guess which of two events happened earlier on today's date. It was previously available as an A/B test. It is now available to all users in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, and Chinese. The goal of the feature is to help engage with new generations of readers. [5]
• Users of the iOS Wikipedia App in some languages may see a new tabbed browsing feature that enables you to open multiple tabs while reading. This feature makes it easier to explore related topics and switch between articles. The A/B test is currently running in Arabic, English, and Japanese in selected regions. More details are available on the Tabbed Browsing project page.
• Bureaucrats on Wikimedia wikis can now use Special:VerifyOATHForUser to check if users have enabled two-factor authentication. [6]
• A new feature related to Template Recall and Discovery will be deployed later this week to all Wikimedia projects: a template category browser will be introduced to assist users in finding templates to put in their “favourite” list. The browser will allow users to browse a list of templates which have been organised into a given category tree. The feature has been requested by the community through the Community Wishlist.
• It is now possible to access watchlist preferences from the watchlist page. Also the redundant button to edit the watchlist has been removed. [7]
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• As part of MediaWiki 1.44 there is now a unified built-in Notifications system that makes it easier for developers to send, manage, and customize notifications. Check out the updated documentation at Manual:Notifications, information about migration in T388663 and details on deprecated hooks in T389624.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Meetings and events

• WikidataCon 2025, the conference dedicated to Wikidata is now open for session proposals and for registration. This year's event will be held online from October 31 – November 02 and will explore on the theme of "Connecting People through Linked Open Data".
