Coordinator Nomination

[edit]

Just a friendly reminder that this is the deadline day for nomination statements - unless you post one a day or so late as I have done in the past two years. You are no doubt aware of this but as I see no statement from you yet I am getting anxious about the absence of a statement from you. Thus, I add this note.Donner60 (talk)10:03, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the timely reminder!!! I have posted a nomination statement today.Hawkeye7(discuss)20:42, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I left a note for Matarisvan. He has not been online since then. It appears that he became somewhat inactive rather abruptly over the past several weeks. He had only 3 edits in August and 11 this month, all but two on September 11. I see no note on his user page or talk page. But we have all seen some users' activity levels drop entirely or almost entirely over a long period without much if any explanation from them. I suppose, if he doesn't file even a late statement, he could be co-opted if he returns to active use and wants to still be a coordinator. As far as I can tell, he has made good contributions to the project over the last year.Donner60 (talk)23:18, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He has made no reply to my talk page but has posted a "no" in the standing for re-election table on the coordinator election page.Donner60 (talk)00:49, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I updated the coordinator election page.Hawkeye7(discuss)01:09, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Donner60 and @Hawkeye7: Hi guys, I enrolled for my Masters program in August, and I had not expected it would be so consuming of my time and energy. I have resumed editing now, and my focus is on updating WPMH FAs to current standards (mostly sfn refs) and adding these FAs to new Featured Topics. I will try to join the November Drive, but I cannot commit until I achieve some of the above goals. Also, I will surely put up my candidacy for the next coordinator election. Also, if there is a possibility of being co-opted as Donner60 posted above, I would like to try. CheersMatarisvan (talk)12:41, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FACbot talk page notifications

[edit]

Hi -- I know you've been updating FACbot;this edit is an error. Easy to revert, but I thought you'd want to be aware. It doesn't seem to have done it to any other subpages of mine for some reason.Mike Christie (talk -contribs -library)01:40, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I take it that you mean that it refers to you as "Mike Christie/Reference library"? I will investigate... The Bot had trouble with this article; it wasn't expecting that an article would get all the way to featured without being tagged by a single project.Hawkeye7(discuss)01:48, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It did correctly notify me on my talk page, but it also notified me on this subpage -- which is linked in my signature, and I now realize that's probably why it posted there.Mike Christie (talk -contribs -library)02:05, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that is why. It goes through the nominators line looking for users. It determines that a link refers to a user if it is refers to the User namespace. Unfortunately, that includes your library subpage. (It skipped your talk page and contributions because they were not in the User namespace.) So I am going to tell it to ignore links that include a slash. That should resolve the problem. My apologies.Hawkeye7(discuss)02:58, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No need to apologize. I had similar problems with ChristieBot in handling GA notifications and there are still some edge cases that I don't think it deals with correctly. Anyway, thanks for fixing it.Mike Christie (talk -contribs -library)03:08, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FACBot

[edit]

Hi. Something seems amiss with the bot, I think.Look atTalk:Frank Hague, see how you can see the "article milestones" and "identified" link the the FAC nomination page?

You can't see them on the recently promotedTalk:Lope Martín andTalk:Assassination of Lord Mountbatten; it just shows that they're FA. Just thought I'd let you know.MisawaSakura (talk)20:36, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. The Bot had an issue with pages lacking an ArticleHistory template. The problem has been resolved, and I have updated these two pages.Hawkeye7(discuss)23:38, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks!MisawaSakura (talk)23:44, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for History of penicillin

[edit]

On24 October 2025,Did you know was updated with a fact from the articleHistory of penicillin, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was... thatpenicillin was forgotten about for a decade after its initial discovery in 1929? The nomination discussion and review may be seen atTemplate:Did you know nominations/History of penicillin. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page(here's how,History of penicillin), and the hook may be added tothe statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free tonominate it.

Tech News: 2025-44

[edit]

Latesttech 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

  • The Wikipedia iOS app has launched an A/B/C test of improvements made to the tabbed browsing feature for select regions and languages. The test, named “More dynamic tabs”, explores new tab experiences and includes “Did you know” and “Because you read” article recommendations. You canread more on the project page.
  • Autoconfirmed users onsmall andmedium wikis with the CampaignEvents extension can now useEvent Registration without the Event Organizer right. This feature lets organizers enable registration, manage participants, and lets users register with one click instead of signing event pages.
  • Recurrent item View all 31 community-submitted tasks that wereresolved last week. For example, the issue of flashing colors when holding or pressing the arrow keys under the dark mode settings in Vector 2022 has been fixed.[1]

Updates for technical contributors

  • The CampaignEvents extension will be deployed to all remaining wikis during the week of 17 November 2025. The extension currently includes three features: Event Registration, Collaboration List, and Invitation List. For this rollout, Invitation List will not be enabled on Wikifunctions and MediaWiki unless requested by those communities.Visit the deployment page to learn more.
  • The SwaggerUI-based REST sandbox experience is now live on all wiki projects. The sandbox can be accessed through theSpecial:RestSandbox page. Please report any issues to the MediaWiki Interfaces team board, or join the discussion on theproject launch page.[2]
  • Transform endpoints with a trailing slash path in the MediaWiki REST API are now marked as deprecated. They will remain functional during this time, but removal is expected by the end of January 2026. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found and tested using theREST Sandbox. See theMediaWiki REST API Deprecation page for more detailed information about the API deprecation policies and procedures.
  • A dedicatedchangelog now exists for the MediaWiki REST API. The changelog provides an overview of these changes, making it easier for developers to keep track of improvements and iterations. Announcements will also continue to flow through the standard communication channels, including Tech News and email distribution lists, but can now be more easily referenced from a central location. If you have feedback about the style, structure, or content of this changelog, pleasejoin the discussion.
  • Administrators can delete the tracking category which was previously added by the JsonConfig extension, as it is no longer used. See the categories linked fromQ130635582. It is OK if there are still pages listed in the category as that is just a caching issue, and they will be automatically cleared out the next time each page is edited.[3]

Question about article class rating

[edit]

Hi Hawkeye7.According to the talk page of the Milhist bot, you're its owner. I had a question. In 2021, the bot rated the articleBattōtai (song) as start-class, saying it didn't meet the "Coverage and accuracy" criterion. Do you know what that criterion is, and how I can see if the page now meets that?Best wishes,Tenchi irezaru chouteki zo (talk)13:50, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Bot usesLiftwing to determine the "Coverage and accuracy" criterion. So it is based on whether itlooks like a B class article. I ran it again, and Liftwing thinks the current version looks like a C class article. Sometimes, articles are small by their nature. If you disagree with a bot assessment, you can take an article toWikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Requests and a human will look at it.Hawkeye7(discuss)21:36, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Feedback on First Jewish–Roman War FA Nomination

[edit]

Hi @Hawkeye7, I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to follow up regarding the First Jewish–Roman War article, which has been nominated for Featured Article status. Given your previous valuable input during the Military History A-Class review, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide any further feedback or thoughts on the article as part of itsFAC discussion.

As it stands, the nomination has been open for a few weeks, but we are still seeking additional consensus to move the process forward. Your insights, especially considering the depth of the topic, would be incredibly helpful in finalizing the nomination.

Thank you so much for your time, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!Mariamnei (talk)11:39, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2025-45

[edit]

Latesttech 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

  • Administrators will now find thatSpecial:MergeHistory is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start).[4]
  • For users with "Automatically subscribe to topics"enabled in their preferences, starting a new topic or adding a reply to an existing topic will now subscribe them to replies to that topic. Previously, this would only happen if the DiscussionTools "Add topic" or "Reply" widgets were used. When DiscussionTools was originally launched existing accounts were not opted in to automatic topic subscriptions, so this change should primarily affect newer accounts and users who have deliberately changed their preferences since that time.[5]
  • Scribunto modules can now be used togenerate SVG images. This can be used to build charts, graphics and other visualizations dynamically through Lua, reducing the need to compose them externally and upload them as files.[6]
  • Wikimedia sites now provide all anonymous users with the option to enable a dark mode color scheme, featuring light-colored text on a dark background. This enhancement aims to deliver a more enjoyable reading experience, especially in dimly lit environments.[7]
  • Users with large watchlists have long faced timeouts when editingSpecial:EditWatchlist. The page now loads entries in smaller sections instead of all at once due to a paging update, allowing everyone to edit their watchlists smoothly. As part of the database update, sorting by expiry has been removed because it was over 100× slower than sorting by title. Acommunity wish has been created to explore alternative ways to restore sort-by-expiry. If this feature is important to you, please support the wish![8]
  • Recurrent item View all 31 community-submitted tasks that wereresolved last week. For example, the fixing of the persisting highlighting when using VisualEditor find and replace during a query.[9]

Updates for technical contributors

  • Since 2019 theWikimedia URL Shortener athttps://w.wiki is available for all Wikimedia wikis to create short links to articles, permalinks, diffs, etc. It is available in the sidebar as "Get shortened URL". There are 30 wikis that also install an older "ShortUrl" extension. The old extension will soon be removed. This means/s/ URLs will not be advertised under article titles via HTMLclass="title-shortlink". The/s/ URLs will keep working.[10]
  • On Thursday, October 30, theMediaWiki Interfaces andSRE Service Operations teams began rerouting Action API traffic through a common API gateway. Individual wikis will be updated based on the standard release groups, with total traffic increased over time. This change is expected to be non-breaking and non-disruptive. If any issues are observed, please file a Phabricator ticket to theService Ops team board.
  • MediaWiki Train deployments will pause for the final two weeks of 2025: 22 December and 29 December. Backport windows will also pause between Monday, 22 December 2025 and Thursday, 2 January 2026. A backport window is a scheduled time to add things like bug fixes and configuration changes. There are seven deployment trains remaining for 2025.[11]
  • Recurrent item Detailed code updates later this week:MediaWiki

In depth

  • In 2025, the Wikimedia Foundation reported that AI systems and search engines increasingly use Wikipedia content without driving users to the site, contributing to an 8% drop in human pageviews compared to 2024. After detecting bots disguised as humans, Wikimedia updated its traffic data to reflect this shift. Read more about current user trends on Wikipedia ina Diff blog post.

Another FACBot miss

[edit]

SeeTalk:1927 World Snooker Championship, top of talk page, it seems a bit off to me.MisawaSakura (talk)02:04, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is the problem? It looks okay to me.Hawkeye7(discuss)03:47, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ugh, my bad. Sorry. The FAC part is okay, but what I just realized threw me off is that the Article History was second and the projects first, on top. I'm not used to seeing it like that. I'm used to Article History being on top. Sorry to have bothered you for me being confused. I just put the history on top, if that's ok.MisawaSakura (talk)03:54, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Originally it was; theQwerfjkl (bot) moved the project banner to the top when it implemented the PIQA.[12] That had me wondering too when I was preparing the newFACBot code, butWikipedia:Talk page layout is the relevant information page and it clearly states that the{{Article history}} template indeed comes before the{{WikiProject banner shell}} template. So theQwerfjkl (bot) was in error. Let me know if theFACBot ever messes it up.Hawkeye7(discuss)04:15, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

W. A. S. Butement

[edit]

I have revised a sentence in Early life which you may wish to edit if the change is wrong or incomplete. Also, can you clarify the sentence "The British government filed a patent on the VT fuse in April 1942 and the Americans in September 1943." I can not tell whether the Americans (U.S. Government, I assume) filed a separate patent application or whether the British government filed a patent applicant for Americans, presumably in the United States. Thanks. After that, B class.Donner60 (talk)04:54, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously they were patenting the fuse, not Americans. But re-worded to make this clearer.Hawkeye7(discuss)08:53, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ACE2025

[edit]

I suggest you address the elephant in the room with regard to your nomination statementSpartazHumbug!19:52, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The image on your talk page sums it up nicely. I have added a bit about it. (The elephant, not the image.) The real problem was the 400-word limit. I am sorry that your question was removed, but I thought that the ban on questions before start time was a good idea, as in the past it has been a practice of some to nominate at the last minute in order to minimise scrutiny.Hawkeye7(discuss)21:10, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I naturally would not have asked it had I realised there was a ban on early questions. Word limit or not, if you don't address it you haven't a hope in hell of getting elected.SpartazHumbug!22:36, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Updates for editors

Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages
Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.
  • Starting November 12, users will see a change in theappearance of talk pages onsome Wikipedias. Almostall wikis have received this design change;English Wikipedia will get these changes later. You can read moreonDiff. Users can opt out of these changesin their user preferences in "Show discussion activity".[13]
  • MediaWiki can now display apage indicator automatically while a page is protected. This feature is disabled by default. It can be enabled bycommunity request.[14]
  • Using the "Show preview" or "Show changes" buttons in the wikitext editor will now carry over certain URL parameters like 'useskin', 'uselang' and 'section'. This update also fixes an issue where, if the browser crashed while previewing an edit to a single section, saving this edit could overwrite the entire page with just that section’s content.[15][16][17]
  • Wikivoyage wikis can usecolored map markers in the article text. The text of these markers will now be shown in contrasting black or white color, instead of always being white. Local workarounds for the problem can be removed.[18]
  • The Activity tab in the Wikipedia Android app is now available for all users. The new tab offers personalized insights into reading, editing, and donation activity, while simplifying navigation and making app use more engaging.[19]
  • The Reader Growth team is launching an experiment called "Image browsing" to test how to make it easier for readers to browse and discover images on Wikipedia articles. This experiment, a mobile-only A/B test, will go live on English Wikipedia in the week of November 17 and will run for four weeks, affecting 0.05% of users on English wiki. The test launched on November 3 on Arabic, Chinese, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese wikis, affecting up to 10% of users on those wikis.[20]
  • Recurrent item View all 27 community-submitted tasks that wereresolved last week. For example the inability to lock accounts on mobile sites has been fixed.[21]

FAC Bot gone wild?

[edit]

Hey @Hawkeye7, want to let you know that @FAC Bot messed upAnnouncements/New featured content and you cannot see the newly featured pictures, lists, or topics (diff). Additionally, the formatting is off. I don't know how to fix it without breaking the entire template, so I want to let me know. Also, if the template talk is a better place to let you know, please tell me.❤HistoryTheorist❤03:29, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ACR closures

[edit]

Hi, I'm not sure whether Milhistbot has actually closed the ACRs for the Tailhook scandal andOperation Matterhorn articles. Did I stuff up here?Nick-D (talk)09:45, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It hasn't. There is a bot error. I will investigate when I get a chance.Hawkeye7(discuss)11:21, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Bot expected the December newsletter to be created by now. It has instructions on how to createthe portion it uses if it is not there, and did so, but due to an error on my part an error was still flagged. The latest version of the Bot does not update any pages if it thinks that one is in error. A one-line change fixed this by marking the newly created page as correctly loaded. The articles have been processed, and the problem will not recur.Hawkeye7(discuss)18:08, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There is a issue with the nominators, which will have to be corrected manually. I will investigate when I get a chance.Hawkeye7(discuss)18:14, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hullo mate, I've approved your latest Cross, should I manually add the award to your talk (and theBugle Project News) or wait till MilHistBot does its thing? Cheers,Ian Rose (talk)03:10, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Ian. Let's give the MilHistBot a chance first.Hawkeye7(discuss)05:45, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2025-48

[edit]

Latesttech 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

  • Last week, theWikimedia Search Team recreated the "DWIM" (Do What I Mean) gadget functionality server-side, for Russian and Hebrew Wikipedias. This feature adds cross-keyboard suggestions to the standard search-box suggestions. For example, searching forcxfcnmt on Russian Wikipedia will now add suggestions forсчастье ("happiness") that the user probably intended. They plan to enable this feature for other Russian and Hebrew wikis this week.[29]
  • Later this week, users of the "Improved Syntax Highlighting"beta feature will have syntax highlighting available inDiscussionTools. This requires that the "Enable editing tools in source mode" preference be set.[30]
  • Campaign events extension – the set of tools for coordinating events and other on-wiki collaborations has now been deployed to all Wikimedia wikis. A new feature known asCollaborative contribution to help organizers and participants see the impact of activities has also been added. Join the upcominglearning session to see the new feature in action and share your feedback.
  • Recurrent item View all 24 community-submitted tasks that wereresolved last week. For example, the bug which stopped CodeReviewBot from working, has now been fixed.[31]

Updates for technical contributors

  • Users of Wikimedia API can join a usability study to help validate the new design of Wikimedia REST API sandboxes. Interested participants should fill therecruitment survey.[32]
  • The MediaWiki Interfaces team is deprecating XSLT stylesheets within the Action API. Support forformat=xml&xlst={stylesheet} will be removed from Wikimedia projects by the end of November, 2025. In addition, it will soon be disabled by default in MediaWiki release versions: v1.43 (LTS), v1.44, and v1.45. Support for XSLT stylesheets will be fully removed from MediaWiki v1.46 (expected to release between April and May 2026).[33]
  • The WDQS legacy endpoint (query-legacy-full.wikidata.org) will be decommissioned at the end of December 2025, and finally closed down on 7th January 2026. After this date, users should expect requests to query.wikidata.org that require the full graph to fail or return invalid results if they are not rewritten to use SPARQL federation. The team encourages users to ensure that tools and workflows use the supported WDQS endpoints (https://query.wikidata.org/ - Main graph orhttps://query-scholarly.wikidata.org/ - Scholarly graph). For support with migrating use cases, please review theData Access andRequest a Query pages for details and assistance on alternative access methods.
