Hello,

I hope that this message finds you well.

A global policy regarding the removal of advanced permissions (e.g.: administrator, bureaucrat, interface-admin, etc.) from inactive user accounts was adopted by community consensus in 2013. For that policy, inactivity is defined as having zero edits and zero administrative actions in a particular project for the last two years.

I am writing to you today because, to the best of our knowledge, your account has advanced permissions in mediawiki.org and meets the inactivity criteria from the global policy mentioned above.

Please reply at this Village Pump topic if you wish to keep all or some of your advanced permissions. If the community supports your continued access, your permissions will be kept. To the contrary, if you wish to resign all or some of your advanced permissions, you may request a removal of permissions on Meta-Wiki.

Please note that if there is no response from you by 2023-03-26, your advanced permissions on mediawiki.org will be removed by the stewards without further notice. You may regaing them using the usual local process.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or feel free to message us at the stewards' noticeboard.

Yours sincerely, --MA (talk) (via MassMessage) 17:14, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Could you please look at Talk pages project/replying/prototype testing#Reply tool version 2.0, try it out, and let me know what happens? I want to make sure that the directions work before sharing this link more widely.

Hi Sherry, hope you're well and coping with this bizarre new world.

I did "Find the section heading, "How can we make this article better?" but located two different headings with that name.

I tried pushing the visual part a bit by trying to add RTL Language text and that didn't seem to work out, but then I'm a dumb monolingual Brit who doesn't know any RTL languages and has no idea how to type RTL. :)

I figured to ping someone I could type @ followed by their name, or {{ and the Ping template. Speaking of which there doesn't appear to be a UI for template use but you can trigger it by typing {{ anyway.

Trying to change the ping to your username with the space was hard until I realised I should click the suggestion in the UI instead of trying to type it to the end.

Other than the above, which is probably partially a result of me knowing too many ways to break things, it went well.

Thanks. Alex

Thanks, Alex. I asked you specifically because you know more than most people. I really appreciate it.

They've kept most (all? I'm not sure) of the keyboard shortcuts for the visual editor, which I'll find handy. I want them in the wikitext mode, too (at least for links).

The world on my side of the ocean feels a little bizarre right now. I've been thinking about doubling times: We closed everything down because there were X cases in the area and that was terribly risky, right? And now there are 2X, and in a while there will be 4X, and that is when we want to tell people that it's okay to re-open their shops and go back to work and school? If X was bad (and I think it was), then why isn't the prospect of 8X and 16X giving them nightmares?

> Trying to change the ping to your username with the space was hard until I realised I should click the suggestion in the UI instead of trying to type it to the end.

What's the key sequence you were expecting would work here @Krena<space> or something?

@Whatamidoing (WMF): yeah... I don't feel strongly about it, it just seems a little odd to not have the UI for some things but keep the keyboard shortcuts for it.

Also, wow, exponentially increasing cases sounds scary, take care.

@ESanders (WMF): Hey Ed, so I think I was trying @Whatamidoing (WMF) and assumed that once I got to the end of the username (which the suggestions recognised) it'd automatically convert the text into a ping, but this didn't work and I had to click the suggestion. I think at first I assumed this was due to the presence of the space messing things up or something, but actually I think it happens with all usernames and that's just how it's supposed to work?

I guess one thing is if you begin to type the name, you'll see suggestions with opportunities to click (or hit enter) which will turn the text into a ping, but if you keep typing and type the full username, the suggestions disappear and you can't turn it into a ping anymore.

@Krenair thank you for noting this and for giving the tool a try.

Are you able to give this ticket (T253710) a quick read to make sure it accurately and exhaustively describes what you experienced?

Actually looking back at the diff there are some weird things - https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Dogs&diff=424245&oldid=424088&diffmode=source

What's with those hrefs?

That's weird. Did you just insert normal <sup> text?

I think so, I just went to try to reproduce it but there's no visual mode now?

Oh right, with dtvisual=1 in the URL params, I did some more fiddling:

https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Dogs&diff=425055&oldid=424438&diffmode=source

I never made any reference to Ppelberg-test. This was not shown in the source version before I saved my reply.

Looks like T253584

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Thanks for participating in the earlier discussion on Talk:Code of Conduct/Draft#Enforcement issues. There was strong support for the first two points, so they have been closed. Most people either supported the third at least in principle, or were neutral. However, there are some suggested wording changes (partly by Smalyshev (WMF), and partly by me).

Please participate again at Talk:Code of Conduct/Draft#New proposed wording. Thanks. User:Mattflaschen-WMF via

Hi. At Project:Requests/User rights/Removal of inactive bot rights (2) there is a proposal to remove the bot rights of inactive bots. Since you appear to be the operator of one of the bots in question, I wanted to draw your attention to the discussion. Please let us know if the rights are still needed (or if they aren't). Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 02:44, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I was wondering if there is an established method to request access to specific restricted tasks? I was hoping to be able to see phab:T241950 (saw this edit you made). Please let me know. Thanks, --DannyS712

I think normally you just ask someone with existing access to add you and they decide it based on need, trust, etc.

In this case I expect to request that task be made public soon though.

Would you be willing to let me see it? I'd like to know if I need to avoid anything in my scripting...

I don't think anyone extra needs to be added there right now, there's nothing new in there. You can probably figure out what was wrong based on the edit.

I'm guessing script injection, but I guess I'll just wait and see

Hi, FYI it's public now.

hi I trapped in 'The title "Translations:Extension:GoogleLogin/Page display title/fr" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: " .*g+(o+)g+le?\S?((?!Summer of Code\/\d{4})|(?!Code-in\/\d{4})).*" can you look at my discussion please : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:V2za6k6gxxt5wskv

Hello Krenair,

I request translation admin right to mark template (exemple : {{Uw-Vandalism1}}) for translation (and also other page for minor edit, like OOUI icon change ect..) Thanks.

I'm not sure if we'd want talk page templates to be translated?

(Oh yeah i forgot flow is bad for translation template, forget my request. regards)

@Tomybrz: You can assign translationadmin to yourself anyway...

😶 Sorry for the inconvenience.
