Sockpuppetry
[edit]Sir, I have serious complain regarding continuous vandalism on several film article by an editor using multiple accounts. Kindly check here by the user Joressa, here by one Paul is describing and here by one Master of all cinemalovers. Inspite of repeated warning, the user again and again deleted the reliable sources by disruptive editing. Pinakpani (talk) 05:19, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Request
[edit]Since you're listed as one of the maintainers of HaleBot, I wanted to ask if it would be possible to implement a minor update. As it stands, Wikipedia:Database reports/Polluted categories is supposed to catch pages which have a mixture of userspace and mainspace content in them, so that they can be cleaned up to remove userpages on WP:USERNOCAT grounds — however, the report always also catches a significant number of hidden internal maintenance categories where it really isn't a problem at all if there are userpages in them, which just linger around from update to update as speedbumps that have to be worked around because there's nothing to actually clean up.
There's a template, {{Polluted category}}, already on many of those categories, which used to (and was intended to) have the effect of causing the polluted category reports to bypass categories that were so tagged and not list them for cleanup that they don't need, but at some point the reports seem to have stopped skipping those. So would it be possible to update HaleBot to start recognizing that template, and skipping the categories that are tagged with it when it updates the polluted categories report, again? Thanks.

- Hi @Bearcat: Could you give me an example of a category that has the {{Polluted category}} template but gets listed in the database report, so I can look into it? 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 16:50, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Greetings
[edit]Thank you for the invitation 
Unlike somewhere that discusses a wide range of topics but do not focus on systematically improving articles, this is truly a place where we collaborate to build a better encyclopedia

- Welcome! I hope you like it here. While not familiar with video games articles myself, I can give you some pointers to promoting some you have expanded to GA if you like. Also, consider going for WP:DYKs if you can expand an article fivefold or create new articles. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 03:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I need help finding the right administrator on a history page
[edit]I'm trying to add multiple estimates on Japans body count during and before world war 2. It seems that there's only one estimate available in the description section and i've tried adding a citation, but the guy who added the 30 million estimate removed my edit. I tried talking to him and adding to the discussion page, but he and the discussion page of been silent. Can you please point me in the right direction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:LilAhok#I'd_like_to_know_better_context_on_the_edit_you_made_against_my_own_on_Japans_war_crimes

Tech News: 2024-30
[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.
Feature News
- Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
- Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and Minerva skin was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to Codex by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [1]
- Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via GlobalVanishRequest. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [2]
- Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone.
- Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the Commons Impact Metrics analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [3]
Project Updates
- Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened Community Wishlist. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.

- Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on Diff.
- How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent blog post by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the WMF Future Audience initiative, where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a ChatGPT plugin and Add a Fact, to help take Wikimedia into the future.
