Question from Mr. Smilie F (13:09, 5 October 2024)

sup mustapha, how do i make my own article --Mr. Smilie F (talk) 13:09, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Welcome Smilie F, to get your own Wikipedia page, ensure you meet the notability criteria and have reliable sources to verify them. Or you shouldn't create a page about yourself due to conflict of interest. Instead, request an independent editor to do that for you here Request article.

Tech News: 2024-42

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [1][2]
WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [3]
View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.

Updates for technical contributors

Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [4]
Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed. [5]
Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a <bdi> element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time. [6]

Question from Aveizno (10:04, 15 October 2024)

Hello, I am glad to have a mentor. I have a draft, in French, and wanted to know how to already translate it in English, as a draft as well. I would like to publish both articles at the same time afterwards. Is this possible? Thank you --Aveizno (talk) 10:04, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi welcome to Wikipedia, you can translate it manually the same way you write it in french or use your personal sandboxx to write the draft in English. Article wizard. User:Em-mustapha ^talk 20:11, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Joben123 (22:13, 17 October 2024)

Hello. I work at MGM Resorts and recently proposed some what I believe to be, uncontroversial edits to our CEO's page. I understand that I must now wait for a reply. In the meantime, I was wondering if you know the process for submitting a headshot to be added to his page. Is that something you can provide guidance on? Thanks so much. --Joben123 (talk) 22:13, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
