Restoring old infobox images

Hey, I hope you are doing well :) I wanted to please ask if you could please revert the infobox images for the following characters: Julie Cooper (EastEnders), Dawn Swann, Gus Smith, Simon Raymond, Joe Wicks (EastEnders), Zsa Zsa Carter, Fred Fonseca, April Branning and Kelly Taylor (EastEnders)? These were all changed without consensus by a now banned sockpuppet back in November/December 2023. If you could please restore them that would be really helpful.

If they've been removed I may not be able to. I'm pretty busy at work this week but I'll try have a look later on 5 albert square (talk) 22:30, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Please no worries at all if not. I just remember you restoring some a few months ago so I thought I would ask. Genuinely though it is not urgent and not super important so please do not worry about it. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 22:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Good news, managed to retrieve them all 5 albert square (talk) 20:36, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much!! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:35, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Would you mind please restoring Carol Jackson's old image too please? It was done by the same blocked editor and it is really wide and creates whitespace DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 01:45, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Done! Why on earth would you need a full frontal image for the infobox? The articles about her not her cardy! Therefore we only need the face! By the way I'm attending Ryan Moloneys tour when it comes to Whitley Bay. I have Meet and Greet tickets so hopefully I'll get an image decent enough to replace the current fuzzy one that we have! 5 albert square (talk) 05:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I comoletely agree! It annoys me as the same thing happened to Lucy Beale a few years ago, and now the images are extremely long and don't focus on the face...

Are you excited to go on the tour?? 😍😊 And I hope you will be able to meet Ryan (and get a better picture! Haha)

I really hope you get to have a lovely time there 😊 DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 05:51, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-38

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

Improvements and Maintenance

• Editors interested in templates can help by reading the latest Wishlist focus area, Template recall and discovery, and share your feedback on the talkpage. This input helps the Community Tech team to decide the right technical approach to build. Everyone is also encouraged to continue adding new wishes.
• The new automated Special:NamespaceInfo page helps editors understand which namespaces exist on each wiki, and some details about how they are configured. Thanks to DannyS712 for these improvements. [1]
• References Check is a feature that encourages editors to add a citation when they add a new paragraph to a Wikipedia article. For a short time, the corresponding tag "Edit Check (references) activated" was erroneously being applied to some edits outside of the main namespace. This has been fixed. [2]
• It is now possible for a wiki community to change the order in which a page’s categories are displayed on their wiki. By default, categories are displayed in the order they appear in the wikitext. Now, wikis with a consensus to do so can request a configuration change to display them in alphabetical order. [3]
• Tool authors can now access ToolsDB's public databases from both Quarry and Superset. Those databases have always been accessible to every Toolforge user, but they are now more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account. In addition, Quarry's internal database can now be queried from Quarry itself. This database contains information about all queries that are being run and starred by users in Quarry. This information was already public through the web interface, but you can now query it using SQL. You can read more about that, and 20 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
• Any pages or tools that still use the very old CSS classes mw-message-box need to be updated. These old classes will be removed next week or soon afterwards. Editors can use a global-search to determine what needs to be changed. It is possible to use the newer cdx-message group of classes as a replacement (see the relevant Codex documentation, and an example update), but using locally defined onwiki classes would be best. [4]

Technical project updates

• Next week, all Wikimedia wikis will be read-only for a few minutes. This will start on September 25 at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. This maintenance process also targets other services. The previous switchover took 3 minutes, and the Site Reliability Engineering teams use many tools to make sure that this essential maintenance work happens as quickly as possible. [5]

Tech in depth

• The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes details about: research about hook handlers to help simplify development, research about performance improvements, work to improve the REST API for end-users, and more.
• To learn more about the technology behind the Wikimedia projects, you can now watch sessions from the technology track at Wikimania 2024 on Commons. This week, check out:
  • Hackathon Showcase (45 mins) - 19 short presentations by some of the Hackathon participants, describing some of the projects they worked on, such as automated testing of maintenance scripts, a video-cutting command line tool, and interface improvements for various tools. There are more details and links available in the Phabricator task.
  • Co-Creating a Sustainable Future for the Toolforge Ecosystem (40 mins) - a roundtable discussion for tool-maintainers, users, and supporters of Toolforge about how to make the platform sustainable and how to evaluate the tools available there.
