Weekly highlight
- The"Get shortened URL" link on the sidebar now includes aQR code. Wikimedia site users can now use it by scanning or downloading it to quickly share and access shared content from Wikimedia sites, conveniently.
Updates for editors
- The Wikimedia Foundation is working on a system calledEdge Uniques, which will enableA/B testing, help protect againstdistributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is to help more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. Tech News haspreviously written about this. The deployment will be gradual. Some might see the Edge Uniques cookie the week of 19 May. You can discuss this on thetalk page.
- Starting May 19, 2025, Event organisers in wikis with theCampaignEvents extension enabled can useEvent Registration in the project namespace (e.g., Wikipedia namespace, Wikidata namespace).

Oops, we edit conflicted here. I'm inclined to let my close stand (not an issue with your relist at all, it's fine procedurally) because of it being a sock nom. We don't need to waste community time. If you disagree though, happy to vacate my close. Thoughts?StarMississippi02:44, 13 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
- @Star Mississippi:, no no. It's fine. My first thoughts were the same as yours. Then thought maybe let's go for another week. But I agree with the wastage of community time too. It's okay. Thanks for dropping by :) — Benison(Beni · talk)02:48, 13 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
- You're welcome. I could have gone either way as well, but decided our time is more precious. Hope all is well in your world. Thanks for the patrol tonight. I had been offline for a while and saw @Toadspike's backlog flag a few days ago so thought I'd jump in with some minimal time I had and you'd resolved many.StarMississippi02:53, 13 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Yea, it's a bit big backlog nowadays. I thinkLiz is busy too. Haven't seen that beautiful signature in a while. Hope everyone's doing well. Good night SM :) — Benison(Beni · talk)07:07, 13 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

| Article of the month The ApolloAbort Guidance System (AGS, also known as Abort Guidance Section) was a backup computer system providing an abort capability in the event of failure of theLunar Module's primary guidance system (Apollo PGNCS) during descent, ascent or rendezvous. As an abort system, it did not support guidance for a lunar landing. The AGS was designed byTRW independently of the development of theApollo Guidance Computer andPGNCS. It was the first navigation system to use a strapdownInertial Measurement Unit rather than a gimbaled gyrostabilized IMU (as used byPGNCS). Although not as accurate as the gimbaled IMU, it provided satisfactory accuracy with the help of the optical telescope and rendezvousradar. It was also lighter and smaller in size. | Image of the month Falcon 9 Full Thrust .jpg) Starting development in 2014, theFalcon 9 Full Thrust is a variant of theFalcon 9 that is the first orbital rocket to have a first stage successfully land vertically after launch. The stage shown here is from the April 2016SpaceX CRS-8 mission, after landing on theautonomous spaceport drone shipOf Course I Still Love You. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
