| == WikiVIP == | |||
| Hey Andy. I'm quite excited about this ] thing you've started and interested in participating. However, it seems sort of like it is just sort of floating out there in the Misplaced Pages namespace. I'm wondering if it would be useful to either convert it to a proper WikiProject or to merge the project into ] as a task force, similar to the ]. There's a lot of overlap there in terms of audio recording advice and setups, etc. Consider it, let me know what you think. ] <sup>(] · ])</sup> 22:26, 23 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :While there may be parallels, this is distinct from those projects, and should not be merged. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); ]; ]</span> 22:52, 23 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::Well right now it doesn't seem to be much of anything. It's not a WikiProject as far as I can tell, and the bulk of the instructions are on your external blog. There's not a huge amount of interest in producing audio content, as far as I can tell, and most of it seems centered around Spoken Misplaced Pages. Either way, are you also suggesting that WikiVIP remain a distinct entity, ''sui generis'', and not become a proper WikiProject? Is it to remain your sole domain? ] <sup>(] · ])</sup> 01:04, 24 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :::FYI, these aren't rhetorical questions, I'm actually looking for an answer. If you're ready to abandon this project, I'll propose merging it as a subset of WikiProject: Spoken Misplaced Pages, or the creation of a new WikiProject covering this. Otherwise I'm happy for your input as to how to proceed. ] <sup>(] · ])</sup> 00:08, 29 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::::You've making many assumptions which are false; not least that the project is abandoned or about to be: it is not. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); ]; ]</span> 00:10, 29 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :::::I am making no assumptions, I asked specific questions, which you continue to evade. I ''asked'' if you were planning on abandoning the project, obviously you are not, but what is the way ''forward''? What is the nature of this project? Are you planning on making it a proper WikiProject? Are you planning on maintaining ongoing direct control of it? These are all simple questions and determine what my course of action will be, since I was planning on doing something similar ''anyway''. ] <sup>(] · ])</sup> 00:44, 29 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
| I have no idea why you feel the need to be vague about my specific questions about this project. It's causing much frustration. I only moved on forking WikiVIP (barely a fork - I would have done it this way anyway if I had not come across WikiVIP, and almost no work has been done on this so far anyway) because you are being weirdly evasive about my questions. I'm moving to this venue because my proposal over at WikiProject Spoken Misplaced Pages is independent of WikiVIP or your participation. I've made numerous substantive complaints about the organization of WikiVIP and I have been met with immense resistance. I'm not trying to muscle in on your territory, but I'm also not interested in going off half-cocked and making things harder for everyone involved. So one last time: | |||
| == Administrators' newsletter – January 2025 == | |||
| # Do you want WikiVIP to be a proper WikiProject? If not, why? | |||
| # What is your objection to WikiVIP being merged into a taskforce of WikiProject Spoken Misplaced Pages? | |||
| # What do you see as your role in WikiVIP? ] is written by you, in the first person. You appear to have hidden knowledge about the nature of the project. The instructions for participation are hosted ''off-wiki'', on your blog. Are these temporary measures, or do you consider yourself the primary WikiVIP coordinator? | |||
| These are not rhetorical questions and I am perfectly amenable to being convinced to go another way, but at this point I am not at all convinced that there's much usable organizing infrastructure and we ''seem'' to disagree (I say ''seem'', because you are being very cagey about your precise position on these matters). ] <sup>(] · ])</sup> 16:37, 1 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :I'm not "being vague", I'm declining to answer loaded questions, which are based on false assumptions; or questions which I have already answered. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); ]; ]</span> 17:53, 1 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::Can you explain what the false assumptions are? I've tried to minimally load these, but it's incredibly frustrating to get zero response from you. ] <sup>(] · ])</sup> 17:56, 1 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :::While you have yet to respond to where I have already explained some of them (indeed, you claim above to be "making no assumptions"; and have attempted to censor another by including it in a collapsed section), I see little point expending further energy doing so. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); ]; ]</span> 18:09, 1 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::::I was very explicit about why I hatted the discussion, it was not an attempt to censor but an attempt to prevent the discussion from being derailed by pointless squabbling. What is it exactly that you have said that bears response that I have not addressed in my voluminuous comments to you? In fact, the ''reason'' I hatted the discussion was because I composed several ''lengthy'' responses to ''you alone'' that were not relevant to the topic at hand, but I felt that you should be addressed. Evidently you do not care to engage on this matter, which is fine by me. I have no problem with multiple projects with similar or entirely overlapping scope. ] <sup>(] · ])</sup> 18:19, 1 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::So your false allegations are fine, but rebuttal of them is "pointless squabbling"? Nice try. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); ]; ]</span> 18:36, 1 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::What allegations? You are being ''frustratingly vague''. I can't read your mind. I have no idea what false assumptions I'm presumed to be harboring under. I came here and asked you how to best proceed. You refuse to tell me what exactly is wrong with my questions. The non-collapsed portion of my remarks contains no false accusations - I made two statements about you: that you are not amenable to a merge (you said so yourself in your initial quip here), and that you do not seem willing to engage (you've explicitly stated now several times that you are refusing to answer my questions and that there's no point in expending further energy on it). You don't need to be involved in the creation of that task force. I would love it if you were, or if you would assume good faith on my part, because I honestly ''have no idea what you are talking about'' when you go on about false assumptions. I legitimately don't understand why the question of whether WikiVIP is a WikiProject or not touches such a nerve with you. ] <sup>(] · ])</sup> 18:41, 1 December 2014 (UTC) | |||

| == About funding wikipedia (ideas) == | |||
| ''' Did you know? ''' | |||
| Thought, i had a few ideas about funding wikipedia which goes as this... | |||
| * Query examples: | |||
| wikipedia will always be ad-free, yet, wikipedia could be advertised for donation on other websites, could accept virtual currency such as facebook credits, people donating credits would fund wikipedia, but also, wikipedia could create products such as wikipedia DVDs containing archives, people who would like to own a fixed copy of wikipedia and even, update it many times a year, could buy a set of DVD that would contain as a standalone... Every new versions would contain both updates, talks and change-history for a certain period... Otherwise, wikipedia shirts, even shirts featuring wikipedia articles, maybe, printing a daily shirt with the featured article of the day, lol :P well that wouldn't do for "just-in-time" delivery x) bad idea x) Maybe, yet, shirts with printed wikipedia articles could become really fashioned, i imagine people reading people's shirt for like, 15 minutes to say "wow, that was a nice read"... About facebook credits, there could be ways to make a facebook game like a trivia or something involving studying history and stuff, that could make people buy ehmm... energy packs, special items, custom props for their characters... you know the way FB games goes ^^ This way, people could donate credits but also get in-game items, to help them in their trivias, or treasure-hunt ^^ Maybe, daily trivia concerning the featured articles could make people want to perform in a leaderboard, to gain the title of encyclopedian of the day :P With monthly ranks and a third section for best scores of all time... :P I guess it could be developed as an android app too, but i don't know if android uses any credit systems... Unless using facebook directly... | |||
| ** | |||
| A last way wikipedia could raise funds could be by selling monthly magazines in many languages, selling them at a price that includes taxes, printing fees, and a certain donation going right to fundraising ^^ | |||
| ** | |||
| The trivia game could help raise funds to develop wikipedia furthermore and develop an app for the real encyclopedia for mobile devices. A windows software resembling Kiwix could be done for users to have the encyclopedia right on their desktop but to download articles only on demand (or entierely and keep updated, depending on the user's choice and well, hard drive capacity... | |||

| '''Problems''' | |||
| * ] Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting ] from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the ] in Phabricator if they arise. | |||
| * There was a problem with Phabricator on November 29. It was due to a network issue. | |||
| * Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. ]. | |||
| * ] For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for ] and ] returned a JSON object with an integer in its <code>sub</code> field, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. | |||
| * Many wikis currently use ] to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to ''not'' clean up your <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">]</bdi> until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output. | |||

Talk to me, Andy Mabbett
- If you post a message on this page, I'll reply on this page to avoid fragmenting the discussion.
- If I've left you a message on your talk page, I will be watching it, so please reply there rather than here (but do feel free to drop a copy of {{Talkback}} here).
- If appropriate, I will move discussion from here to the relevant article's talk page, so that anyone interested can join in.
- If you want to start a new discussion thread, please start it at the bottom of the page. Better still, use the "new section" tab next to the "edit this page" tab, or the link at the foot of this section, either of which will do that automatically.
- Please do not make links from within section headings.
- Inaccessible HTML (coloured text, "small" tags, etc.) will be removed from this page on sight. Broken heading or list structures will be fixed.
- Please sign and date your entries by inserting four tildes (~~~~) at the end.
- Start a new discussion.
Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
Administrator changes

Oversight changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

- Zita Ursula Zage has joined the Software Communication team (SCoT) at Wikimedia Deutschland as an intern until the end of June 2025. Welcome Zita!
- VIAF (cf. Q54919 and P214) underwent a relevant change of interface on January 10; the way of visualizing clusters in JSON format has changed in comparison with present OCLC documentation and e.g. http://viaf.org/viaf/102333412/viaf.json doesn't work anymore; this broke most or all Wikidata gadgets using VIAF data; in the absence of official communications from OCLC, developers are trying to understand if the new VIAF interface is stable before changing their gadgets accordingly

Tech News: 2025-03
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See the SUL3 project page for more details and a timeline.
Updates for editors
- On wikis with PageAssessments installed, you can now filter search results to pages in a given WikiProject by using the
inproject:keyword. (These wikis: Arabic Misplaced Pages, English Misplaced Pages, English Wikivoyage, French Misplaced Pages, Hungarian Misplaced Pages, Nepali Misplaced Pages, Turkish Misplaced Pages, Chinese Misplaced Pages) - One new wiki has been created: a Misplaced Pages in Tigre (
w:tig:) 
View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the MediaWiki Interfaces Team in Phabricator if they arise.- Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI.
- For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 returned a JSON object with an integer in its
subfield, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. - Many wikis currently use Cite CSS to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to not clean up your MediaWiki:Common.css until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output.
Meetings and events
- The next meeting in the series of Wikimedia Foundation Community Conversations with the Wikimedia Commons community will take place on January 15 at 8:00 UTC and at 16:00 UTC. The topic of this call is defining the priorities in tool investment for Commons. Contributors from all wikis, especially users who are maintaining tools for Commons, are welcome to attend.
