I always sign my post : Nancy Wong aka Edmunddantes. Can you tell me why people don't think the photos I upload on wiki commons are mine? Here's another one of my Shawn Wong photos from the '70s and no one seems to have trouble with it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_Wong https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebase_%28novel%29 — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.102.74.23 (talk) 00:07, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

  • When you edit text and mention a new username they are notified if you add your signature. Before this only happened under certain conditions. [2]
  • Users are notified if they are mentioned in a section where you add your own signature even if you edit more than one section. Before, users were not notified if you edited more than one section in one edit. [3]

Problems

Changes this week

  • There will be no new MediaWiki version this week. [6]

Meetings

Strange bot edit

See [8]. --Jarekt (talk) 12:12, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Hmm. Looks like that edit happened in the same minute as the previous one. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 13:06, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
Good catch. I did not notice that. I undid 70 of them but they all might have the edit conflict. This might not require any action, but I thought I will let you know. --Jarekt (talk) 17:20, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Changes this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 October. It will be on all wikis from 6 October (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 4 October at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  • Tidy will be replaced. Instead the HTML 5 parsing algorithm will be used to clean up bad HTML in wikitext. This would cause problems on a number of wikis. They need to be fixed first. [9]
  • <slippymap> will not work on Wikivoyage after 24 October. You should use <mapframe> instead. If you need help to fix this before 24 October you should ask for it as soon as possible. [10]

Hello,

Recent changes

  • You can show Special:RecentChanges on a page by using {{Special:RecentChanges}}. You can now use tag filters by using {{Special:RecentChanges/tagfilter=tagname}}. [11]
  • The notification badge is coloured if you have notifications. When you check the notification the badge will now turn grey on all wikis instead of just the local one. [12]
  • Colours used in the Wikimedia wikis' main interface changed slightly. This is to make them easier to see for readers and editors with reduced eyesight. [13]

Changes this week

  • Hidden HTML comments will be more visible when you edit with the visual editor. <!-- You write hidden HTML comments like this. --> [14]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 October. It will be on all wikis from 13 October (calendar).

Meetings

Future changes

  • Language converter syntax will soon no longer work inside external links. Wikitext like http://-{zh-cn:foo.com; zh-hk:bar.com; zh-tw:baz.com}- must be replaced. You will have to write -{zh-cn: http://foo.com ; zh-hk: http://bar.com ; zh-tw:http://baz.com }- instead. This only affects languages with Language Converter enabled. Examples of such languages are Chinese and Serbian. [15]

Problems

  • Some users got a warning about Wikipedia's security certificate last week. This was because of a problem GlobalSign had. This has now been fixed. Only a small number of users got the warning. [16]
  • Editors couldn't edit semi-protected pages in the Wikipedia app for Android. This has now been fixed in the beta version. [17]

Changes this week

  • There will be no new MediaWiki version this week. [18]

Future changes

  • The Editing Department are working on a new wikitext editor. It will have tools that are in the visual editor but not in the wikitext editor today. You can read more about this. This is an early plan and things can change. The old wikitext editor will still exist.

Click the "Signature and timestamp"-button to sign your talkpage contributions As a courtesy to other editors, it is a Commons guideline to sign your posts on talk pages, user talk pages, deletion requests, and noticeboards. To do so, simply add four tildes (Edmunddantes (talk) 22:52, 19 October 2016 (UTC)) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and the date will then automatically be added along with a timestamp when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). Thank you. --SignBot (talk) 17:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Edmunddantes: It is because you were posting comments without signing them. See your comment on File talk:Homebase.jpg for example. This is not a warning, but just a message telling you to sign all your posts on talk pages with ~~~~ (on the end of your comment). Thanks, ★ Poké95 02:11, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Problems

  • The abuse filters had a problem and caught too many edits. This has now been fixed. [19]

Changes this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from October 25. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from October 26. It will be on all wikis from October 27 (calendar).
  • The "Search" text in the search box will show the name of the project. For example, on Wikipedia it will say "Search Wikipedia". [20]
  • About a dozen wikis now have numerical sorting in categories. If your wiki wants numerical sorting in categories you can ask for it. [21]
  • Some wikis that want numerical sorting in categories can also ask to use UCA to sort categories. The biggest difference is that characters with diacritics will be sorted together. For example, for most languages Ä will be sorted with A instead of at the end of the alphabet. This is not true for languages that have Ä as a character in their alphabet. Wikis that already use UCA are listed on Meta. Languages that can use UCA are listed on MediaWiki.org. You can test it.

Flickr-related request

I have the following task for User:FlickreviewR 2 (Can you do this? Or redirect me to the right tool/person if you know one): go through images in a given directory (this one, for instance) and upload higher-resolution version from the flickr source found on the image page. Many photographers update their flickr images after we transfer them to Commons. Thanks in advance. Materialscientist (talk) 01:06, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

I can create a seperate script for this, but right now I have no time (probably not before January). :/ FlickreviewR 2 performs uploading on each review, so if you wish, you could use VFC to force a re-review of each file to trigger the uploads. Alternatively, maybe @Fæ: can help? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 02:02, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Could you please elaborate on "use VFC to force a re-review of each file" (i.e. how exactly can I force a re-review. I can use Commons:AutoWikiBrowser to mass-remove past flickr reviews from files of a given category, and maybe this will force a re-review (?), but I guess you mean something else). Materialscientist (talk) 02:10, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Yeah, AWB should work as well. Just replace the reviewed-pass templates with {{Flickreview}} --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 02:30, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Dropping in a bit late on this, to note that the flickrreview reset is probably the easiest way to force reuploads (and it's been done precisely this way before). Secondly, I'd not write a script to do this automatically without human review. I'm presuming that the mentioned category has a limited number of Flickr sources, and they are all stable. The ways this can go wrong are that the source may have changed the licence since upload, so the flickrreview with then give a fail and lead to 'accidental' deletion unless someone realises what happened, or that the user has overwritten the original image with a different one, or a worse quality version, or even a rotated version which can cause a check failure. Anyway, scenarios to think about :-). Thanks --Fæ (talk) 08:16, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Included source/Flickr web address of photo

Hi thanks for the review. Wanted to let you know that I have added the source (website address) of the image that I downloaded from Flickr into Wikimedia.
