How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Palochkas

Hello Soul Train,

I was wondering if you could put me on the approval list for JS Wiki Browser. I've moved all mainspace articles on WP-lez to proper palochkas, and would like to clean up the articles themselves, but there are too many to do by hand.

(293 article titles had a Latin vowel «I» instead of a palochka, 3 had a Belarusian/Ukrainian vowel «І», 2 had a lower-case Latin L, and 2 had a lower-case palochka. I assume there are similar numbers in the texts themselves. Of course, I didn't change the roman numeral I in titles like I виш йис.)

Thanks, Kwamikagami (веревирд авун) 23:35, 21 январь 2023 (MSK)

Done. Soul Train 14:31, 22 январь 2023 (MSK)

My username is still not found on the JWB checklist. Kwamikagami (веревирд авун) 23:43, 22 январь 2023 (MSK)

Can you please give me the direct link. Soul Train 00:23, 23 январь 2023 (MSK)

I'm taken to [1]. I don't see anything there. It might be supposed to link to the same script as [2], but supposedly my custom css should be all that is needed.

It's working. Thanks! Kwamikagami (веревирд авун) 02:52, 23 январь 2023 (MSK)

I can't correct anything in MediaWiki namespace, because they're edit-protected. A few templates as well, like Шаблон:Хкягъунар.

I think I'm done. I did a 2nd run-through for clean-up. There were some apparent errors I was afraid to fix. I left a list with Уртах:Aslan Xasiyev if you want to take a look. If you see that I made any mistakes, please let me know. Kwamikagami (веревирд авун) 07:14, 23 январь 2023 (MSK)

Thank you for the correction! I made the same kind of change at Франция, to "Хлодвиг I-ди Меровингрин". I hope that's correct. Kwamikagami (веревирд авун) 21:18, 23 январь 2023 (MSK)

And "Павел I-диз" at Ольденбург. Kwamikagami (веревирд авун) 21:30, 23 январь 2023 (MSK)

Need your input on a policy impacting gadgets and UserJS

Dear interface administrator,

This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.

There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed Third-party resources policy aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.

As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the policy talk page.

Have a great day!

Samuel (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Security team 02:02, 8 июль 2023 (MSK)

Request

Hello.

In the Азербайжан article, can you replace File:Azerbaijan with Nagorno Karabakh region.svg with File:Azerbaijan (orthographic projection).svg? In late September 2023, Nagorno-Karabakh came completely under the jurisdiction of Azerbaijan, and the breakaway Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) has ceased to exist.

Yours sincerely, Multituberculata (веревирд авун) 01:08, 4 октябрь 2023 (MSK)

Hello, I think we should wait till 1 January 2024, when Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will officially cease to exist. Soul Train 22:51, 9 октябрь 2023 (MSK)

A new feature for previewing references on your wiki

Apologies for writing in English. And also for messaging you individually – I couldn't find the village pump on your wiki.

Hi. As announced some weeks ago ^{[1] [2]}, Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team introduced Reference Previews to many wikis, including this one. This feature shows popups for references in the article text.

While this new feature is already usable on your wiki, most people here are not seeing it yet because your wiki has set a gadget as the default for previewing references. We plan to remove the default flag from the gadget on your wiki soon. This means:

• The new default for reference popups on your wiki will be Reference Previews.
• However, if you want to keep using the gadget, you can still enable it in your personal settings.

The benefit of having Reference Previews as the default is that the user experience will be consistent across wikis and with the Page Previews feature, and that the software will be easier to maintain overall.

This change is planned for February 14. If you have concerns about this change, please let us know on this talk page by February 12. – Kind regards, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (веревирд авун) 15:01, 2 февраль 2024 (MSK)

• OK, I understand. — Soul Train 17:53, 2 февраль 2024 (MSK)

Research about the tools on Wikimedia projects by the CEE Hub

Hi everyone,

We would like to invite you to submit your responses to the survey dedicated to the tools that are used currently across the Wikimedia projects and the tools that you want to have.

This survey was made by the working group of the CEE Hub, and your responses will be reviewed afterwards, as we want to continue supporting the communities. That support can be documentation for certain most used tools by other communities across the region per specific topics, finding solutions for new tools to be created in the future, creating most needed tools in the region (so called "regional wishlist list"), and many other options.

Deadline to fill in the survey is 20th of August, 2024.

Submit your answers here

Thank you in advance for your time that you will dedicate in filling in this survey --MediaWiki message delivery (веревирд авун) 16:07, 26 июль 2024 (MSK)
