...but this is not a newcomer. HyperAccelerated arrived here two and half years ago fully-armed like Athena. This isn't their first trip to the rodeo. Yappy2bhere (talk) 19:19, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Almost forgot, are you satisfied with your own edit or were you asking that the entire comment be removed? Yappy2bhere (talk) 19:25, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm satisfied by just removing the PA part. They may have started editing earlier, but their second AfD was only in March 2024. Aaron Liu (talk) 19:29, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ahh, I see you left bait. Revised; don't want to attract flies. Yappy2bhere (talk) 19:58, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- what
Users are not things to be "baited" on. Your comment also has a link to a relevant policy page, and even if you made some inane pure joke I'd have no reason to remove it. Aaron Liu (talk) 20:11, 22 June 2024 (UTC)- Look pal, you "removed" the offending phrase but deposited a tell-tale that defined it without context as "personal abuse" (which is incorrect and which I vigorously dispute) and which remained as an impossibly enticing lure right back to the phrase that you claimed to want buried. Guess what? it worked. So yeah, bait, and for crissake work on your own WP:AGF. Yappy2bhere (talk) 00:01, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Your rhetoric confuses me. See you later and thanks for your edits to AdaControl. Aaron Liu (talk) 00:10, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Personal comment
[edit]Regarding this comment: I feel it is being unduly judgmental of the commenter. Perhaps you might consider rewording it? isaacl (talk) 15:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I kinda felt that too. I can't figure it out so I'll just remove that part. Thanks. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:59, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Gender Pronouns
[edit]You need to add your preferred gender pronouns. 2A02:3037:60F:F73E:B06E:9425:6380:3700 (talk) 21:19, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- I have. You haven't. If you log in, there's a setting. Aaron Liu (talk) 21:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, how do I create a citation? --Capc8 (talk) 01:43, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

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.
