Removal of category

Hello Aschroet, wondering why you removed the file from the category. thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 05:30, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Lotje, i find the category belongs to the person and not to the photo (as it is for a lot of people in this category). But i see that there is a ambiguity of what is meant with this category: is it a general property of the person or the property of a person in the moment what is shown by the photo. Actually, we should have two different categories to distinguish between that. However, this holds for many other categories. Regards, --Arnd 🇺🇦 (talk) 10:17, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Thanks Aschroet, I get your point Lotje (talk) 11:01, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Join the next one Sunday April 14th.
  • Papers: Understanding Wikidata - Wikidata is extremely valuable as a data source to supplement, validate and extend existing knowledge bases and applications.

This paper attempts to explain and position this information. (by AWesterinen)

Weekly Tasks

Tech News: 2024-15

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

  • Web browsers can use tools called extensions. There is now a Chrome extension called Citation Needed which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
  • A new Edit Recovery feature has been added to all wikis, available as a user preference. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the project talk page. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.
  • Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [17][18]
  • Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [19]
