Nomination for deletion of Template:Newyorkerize

[edit]

Template:Newyorkerize has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. Svampesky (talk) 03:22, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Svampesky: Are you aware that the diæresis is a part of the English language? This seems like either an issue with providing metadata in the template or improving accessibility software -- not really a thing that can be fixed at TfD. jp×g🗯️ 04:39, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, I didn't realize I was nominating it for deletion on a page called 'Templates for discussion'. I thought it functioned to pool editors in one place, especially as templates are more technical. The section header Nomination for deletion of Template:Newyorkerize was a template. I hope the "mods on the Wikimedia discord server" don't find out about this! Svampesky (talk) 13:56, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I erroneously filed it thinking it was a place to pool editors and discuss. How do I withdraw it and move the discussion to the talk page? Svampesky (talk) 16:48, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

During what I assume was a script error when moving Environmental effects of aviation, it seems the talk pages have turned into a redirect loop with no significant history under either. Was the actual page potentially accidentally deleted at Talk:Environmental impactEnvironmental effects of aviation without being moved? or has it ended up somewhere else? Aidan9382 (talk) 14:19, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like JPxG tried moving the pages back, but only moved the articles (not the talk pages), before they deleted both, as you've guessed, yeah. This was posted at WP:ANI#Environmental impact of bitcoin and appears to have been fixed. – 2804:F1...F5:208E (talk) 00:01, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of fiddling with two of your user pages

[edit]

I hope by this point that you trust my intentions, because I sure had to fiddle with User talk:JPxG/index and related pages a bunch to get the combination of {{database report}}, Linter, and my tribe of Linter-obsessed gnomes to align around the formatting of those pages. I had to hack the table format a bit, so now you have a table within a table (not ideal, but it works). I hope that you don't mind, and sorry for the notifications. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:43, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bring a picnic blanket and some potluck, as well as some sunscreen! We'll also provide a little something for everyone, but we encourage you to bring your own favorite dishes to share, especially for those food cultural topics you would like to improve on Wikipedia.

We'll also do a portal thing for a bit with West Coast friends at the WikiLA ocean life edit-a-thon.

All are welcome, new and experienced!

Saturday, August 24, 2024 NYC Wiknic @ Roosevelt Island (RSVP on-wiki)

  • Time: 2:00 - 7:00 pm (come by any time!)
  • Salon-style Discussions: 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm (session A) 5:00 pm - 5:30 pm (session B)

Signpost essay column

[edit]

I reworked this from WikiProject Orphanage. This could be placed on the newsroom talk page. Someone presses it five times, and then by a poll on the newsroom talk page to decide which essay to include in the next issue, to encourage readers to improve it. Svampesky (talk) 18:08, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It might be a bad idea to direct people to edit vital policy-based essays, so some could have a hatnote 'Essay for improvement'. Svampesky (talk) 18:24, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pistol emoji

[edit]

Thanks for catching the unintentional synthesis, but what mistake did I actually make here? It was intended to summarise the body so I may have been misled by existing errors later in the article. Belbury (talk) 08:28, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you'd asked me a few months ago what the deal was with the pistol emoji, I would have said "it used to be a gun and then some time in the late 2010s a bunch of websites changed it to be a water gun", but when I actually looked into it for this article it turned out the reality was much more complicated and weird. The thing everyone went with was that it got changed everywhere, because this made for an easy story, but half of the vendors never changed anything, and even among the ones who did it was kind of an awkwardly inconsistent back-and-forth changeover. It's kind of interesting, because Elon Musk and all the people who hate Elon Musk seem to agree that everyone had a water gun until he unilaterally decided Twitter should go back to a handgun, but this does not seem to actually be borne out by anything other than that one article from the one abc.net article which seems to have gotten its header image from a Facebook page(?). jp×g🗯️ 09:01, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That header image does seem to be backed up by what I'm seeing in the sources, that Microsoft adopted the water pistol years ago but caved to cross-platform compatibility and made it a gun, then all the main platforms changed it to a water pistol in 2018.
I'll see if I can pull together enough sources to recreate a sourced timeline table in the article.
What's your view on the article drawing a link between the 2018 changes and the Parkland high school shooting and subsequent mass demonstrations against gun violence, a recent addition which is still in the article body? From what I can see this is an observation that some press sources made, and it seems like a reasonable one, but the actual platform announcements seem deliberately vague and anodyne about there being any social reason behind the change. Belbury (talk) 09:22, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, the closest the article gets is to say "the move away from the graphic of the weapon to a toy comes after mass demonstrations by students in the United States and globally, demanding tighter gun control laws". It seems pretty plausible to me.
On the subject of unciteable original research otherwise left on teh cutting room floor, my friend found this public relations campaign from 2016 which was apparently demanding Apple remove the glyph on a specific, explicit basis that
We realized that many Americans unknowingly carry a gun with them every day. The one that was given to them without a background check: the gun emoji. We ask that you stand with the American people and remove the gun emoji from all your products as a symbolic gesture to limit gun accessibility. We understand taking the emoji out will not end gun violence, but this act will show Congress that gun-owning and non-owning Americans have come together to demand required background checks for ALL gun sales.
The funnier outcome, in my opinion (note I've stolen this joke), would have been to cryptographically implement background checks for the gun emoji. jp×g🗯️ 08:48, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Signpost highlighted on watchlists

[edit]

Have noticed that new editions of The Signpost haven't been publicized/linked on editor's watchlists for many months, leaving many editors unaware of the publication. MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages covers that (I think but not sure), so popping links to new editions onto that list should do the trick. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:49, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see on my watchlist when a new issue is published, FWIW. Maybe I'm watching different pages from the OP. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:11, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This pertains to the watchlist messages which appear on top of the watchlist, not a link on one of the watched pages (I usually find out about the Signpost when it comes up on one of my watched pages). Randy Kryn (talk) 14:59, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template loop error at Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Single/2014-07-16

Hey, can you figure out why Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Single/2014-07-16 has a template error? Gonnym (talk) 00:27, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was transcluding Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Series/Bots, which causes the page to completely eat shit and render wrong and also recursively transclude itself for some reason. I don't really know why; at any rate the series templates were only ever meant to be transcluded on articles themselves so I can just remove it. jp×g🗯️ 18:14, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Press template not displaying all

[edit]

Hi! The "mentioned by media..." at Talk:Asian News International has 2 items in the wiki-text, 31 and 32, that don't show up in the saved template, and I can't figure out why. Can you? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:00, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My (admittedly vague) recollection, from when I was poking around with the press template and the high traffic site template, was that they were both implementing the same thing in independent/incompatible ways for no reason, and also that they were written with the dreaded "wall of copypasta" coding style, which I made a note to myself to fix someday, then did something which contributed to making it worse and forgot about it forever. jp×g🗯️ 10:35, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
