Question from Scriptscrap (16:50, 23 October 2024)
[edit]Can I create a personal list of articles about a subject as somewhat of a checklist. Sort of like you would check off birds in a bird book? I see the watch list which is similar to what I am thinking but what if I want different lists for different things? Like check off a list of all math articles that I have read or all scientists that I have added books about to my book collection. --Scriptscrap (talk) 16:50, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- Scriptscrap, the only thing I am aware of is the mobile app which allows you to create lists. Apologies for the late response. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:41, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @Qwerfjkl! I will take a look at that. Scriptscrap (talk) 14:13, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Administrator Elections: Voting phase
[edit]The voting phase of the October 2024 administrator elections has started and continues until 23:59 31st October 2024 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Voting phase.
As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
- October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
- November 1–? - Scrutineering phase
In the voting phase, the candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies for a vote will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RFA.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

[edit]Hey, I was wondering if it is possible for your bot's lint task edits to be tagged with the Special:Tags "fixed lint errors" so this can be better tracked. Gonnym (talk) 09:25, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-44
[edit]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
- Later in November, the Charts extension will be deployed to the test wikis in order to help identify and fix any issue. A security review is underway to then enable deployment to pilot wikis for broader testing. You can read the October project update and see the latest documentation and examples on Beta Wikipedia.
- View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, Pediapress.com, an external service that creates books from Wikipedia, can now use Wikimedia Maps to include existing pre-rendered infobox map images in their printed books on Wikipedia. [1]
Updates for technical contributors
- Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set
emitTransitionOnSteptotrueto fix an old bug. They can use the new flagallowAutomaticBackto avoid back-buttons they don't want. [2] - Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [3]

Marathon Petroleum Corporation Logo Assistance
[edit]Hello, I noticed that you have made some edits to the Marathon Petroleum Corporation page in the past and I was hoping you could help me replace the logo that is there now. The logo for branded Marathon retail gas stations was updated recently but not the the corporate one. "...the retail brand debuted a new Endurance image, including a retooled logo..." https://csnews.com/marathon-petroleum-goes-live-new-retail-brand-campaign https://csnews.com/marathon-unveils-new-image-branded-gas-stations
The accurate logo can be found on the Marathon Petroleum Corporation website here: https://www.marathonpetroleum.com/Newsroom/Corporate-Logos-and-Standards/ Is this something you would be able to help with? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19B:8301:B5A0:241F:9AA:2CD6:28C3 (talk) 15:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- 2601:19B:8301:B5A0:241F:9AA:2CD6:28C3, hi! I don't really see the difference in logos. Regardless, the place to go is Wikipedia:Files for upload to upload the new logo. Then once it gets uploaded, you can replace the current one in the article with the new one. DOes that help? — Qwerfjkltalk 15:21, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
Hi can you help me create these pages? Mycrushrajveer (talk) 03:51, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Mycrushrajveer, what exactly would youi like help with? I can see the three drafts are about actresses, so please make sure they pass the notability guideline before writing the articles - they will be declined if they're not notable. You'll also need to find some sources for the articles. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:44, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- I am following Pranali Rathod page. Is that ok? How can I create a direct article like Pranali's article? Mycrushrajveer (talk) 07:25, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- You can press the Submit draft for review button to submit the draft. Note that none of the articles are yet ready to be articles, so if you do so they will be declined. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:13, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-45
[edit]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
- Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [4]
- Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
- The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [5]
- View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.
Updates for technical contributors
- XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [6]
In depth
- Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
- The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.
Meetings and events
- MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 is happening in Vienna, Austria and online from 4 to 6 November 2024. The conference will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users.

[edit]I want to edit and create Poet's pages. Please suggest me. --Shailesh Gupta Veer (talk) 18:12, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read WP:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out WP:TUTORIAL; it's a lot of fun! That said, when you want to have a go at writing an article, try Wikipedia:Requested articles/Arts and entertainment/Literature#Authors (poets, novelists and fiction writers) if you need a subject to write about; if you already have a subject in mind, just make sure they pass the general notability guidelines, so you don't waste your time. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:41, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

The Lockman Hole
[edit]I'm considering making an edit to the Lockman Hole article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockman_Hole), after a brief mid-video interview with Jay Lockman himself where he voiced a preference for the name "Lockman Window".
I thought it might be a good courteous gesture of this community to change the beginning of the Lockman Hole article to read something more like "The Lockman Hole, or Lockman Window, is an area of the sky in which..."
Do you think this would be appropriate? Necessary Addition (talk) 20:00, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of HH16 (disambiguation)
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on HH16 (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:33, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
