Reverting
[edit]Hello! I'm just wondering why'd you revert my adding of the PD-State of Palestine on official governmental items? RowanJ LP (talk) 15:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- RowanJ LP, Per Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#Template:PD-State_of_Palestine discussion I removed information about flag trademarks from {{PD-State of Palestine}} as trademarks are not related to copyrights. Without the part about the flags, {{PD-State of Palestine}} is equivalent to {{PD-anon-70}} and apply to anonymous works or need to apply to "statute, regulation, Knesset protocol or court decisions". Most of the files I reverted were flags and emblems created by Commons users, so none of the conditions of the template apply to them. Also in the current state, I do not think {{PD-State of Palestine}} is valid, see the discussion, so it will likely need to be changed or deleted. In case it is deleted, I don't want those files (with seemingly valid licenses) to get mixed up in the discussion. --Jarekt (talk) 19:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't know that this discussion was currently going on, thank you for bringing this up. RowanJ LP (talk) 12:34, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Pages with camera coordinates from SDC has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you! |

Recent changes
- The software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering. [6]
The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.- The HTML markup used for citations by Parsoid changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the
mw-reference-textclass, Parsoid now also adds thereference-textclass for better compatibility with the legacy parser. More details are available. [7]
Problems
- There was a bug with the Content Translation interface that caused the tools menus to appear in the wrong location. This has now been fixed. [8]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 June. It will be on all wikis from 13 June (calendar). [9][10]
- The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: Parsoid will now generate a
<span class="mw-cite-backlink">wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. More details are available. [11] - On multilingual wikis that use the
<translate>system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community requests it. [12]

Request for advice
[edit]Hello, Jarekt. I hope you are doing well. I see that you have done a lot of work on date formats. Could you please advise me on how to correct the month format for Slovene (sl) from 'genitive' to 'nominative' in Category:Bojan Kunaver and File:Kamala Harris 2024 - 32.jpg? I have already tried to edit it in Data:DateI18n.tab but there was no effect. --TadejM (t/p) 10:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- TadejM, I will be happy to help. First of all, I noticed that changes to Data:DateI18n.tab do not seem to take immediate effect, so if you change something there you might have to wait a day or two to see if it worked. By the way, I think I see some changes "sl" language in Module:DateI18n/testcases. If it is still not to your liking after some days, please give me some concrete examples of what is {{Date}} giving you now and what do you expect. Or even better add them to Module:DateI18n/testcases. --Jarekt (talk) 12:21, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the explanation, Jarekt. I am going to test it. --TadejM (t/p) 17:37, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- The change is now visible in Category:Bojan Kunaver but not (yet?) in File:Kamala Harris 2024 - 32.jpg. --TadejM (t/p) 14:01, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- @TadejM I see "22. februar 2024 ob 14:19:31" in File:Kamala Harris 2024 - 32.jpg, which is nominative case. --Jarekt (talk) 02:09, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Great, thanks. Then everything is fine now. --TadejM (t/p) 07:42, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-25
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see Edit check for more details. [13]
- The new Community Configuration extension is available on Test Wikipedia. This extension allows communities to customize specific features to meet their local needs. Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other Community Configuration use cases in the future. [14][15]
- The dark mode beta feature is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the project talk page. [16]
Problems
- Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [17]
- Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here. [18]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar). [19][20]
- Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable. [21]
- Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [22]
