Thanks for uploadingFile:Callum Stone.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under aclaim 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 (seeour policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in anyarticles will be deleted after seven days, as described insection F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk)18:09, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey, I hope you are doing well! When you can, could you please moveUser:DaniloDaysOfOurLives/Angie toAngie Appleton? The article is almost ready, I just have a few more sources to add (+ the lead), so when it is moved I will put the "In use" template and finish it off - I just wanted to ask now as I was hoping to get it done before the week begins etc. Thank you so much!DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk)22:40, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Pages that use the JSONcontentmodel will now use tabs instead of spaces for auto-indentation. This will significantly reduce the page size.[14]Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in allsupported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the
requiresES6 option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future.[15]Bot passwords andowner-only OAuth consumers can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages.[16]Changes later this week
