She worked at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, for most of her career. She started as a computer at the segregated West Area Computing division in 1951. She took advanced engineering classes and, in 1958, became NASA's first black female engineer. \|width=50% style="padding:5px; vertical-align:top;"\|*Image of the month.* ---- File:Apollo 11 Lunar Lander - 5927 NASA.jpg With China becoming the third country to return moon samples back to earth, this is an image of the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander being worked on by Buzz Aldrin.

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

Recent changes

You can choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the CAPTCHA. This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T12729]
You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T269761]
Admins can use the abuse filter tool to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T187686]
Oversighters can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on Special:AbuseLog. This is how the usual revision deletion works. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T260904]
When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is "throttled". The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this "throttle".
File:Octicons-tools.svg There is a new tool to [https://skins.wmflabs.org/?#/add build new skins]. You can also [https://skins.wmflabs.org/?#/ see] existing skins. You can give feedback. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-December/094130.html]
File:Octicons-tools.svg Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the watchlist to watch will still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T258108]
File:Octicons-tools.svg Scribunto's file metadata now includes length. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T209679]
File:Octicons-tools.svg CSS and JavaScript code pages now have link anchors to [https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/40e4795d4448b55a6d8c46ff414bcf78/w/index.php/MediaWiki:En.js#L-125 line numbers]. You can use wikilinks like :w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js#L-50. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T29531]
File:Octicons-sync.svg There was a new version of MediaWiki last week. You can read a detailed log of all 763 changes. Most of them are very small and will not affect you.

Changes later this week

File:Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-01-12|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2021-01-13|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2021-01-14|en}} (calendar).

Future changes

The Growth team plans to add features to get more visitors to edit to more Wikipedias. You can help [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=ext-growthexperiments&language=&filter=&action=translate translating the interface].
You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for a short time on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210126T07 {{#time:j xg|2021-01-26|en}} at 07:00 (UTC)]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T271791]
MassMessage posts could be automatically timestamped in the future. This is because MassMessage senders can now send pages using MassMessage. Pages are more difficult to sign. If there are times when a MassMessage post should not be timestamped you can let the developers know.

= Reply tool =

File:Junior Contributor Reply Tool and full page edit completion rate.png

The Reply tool is available at most other Wikipedias.

The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.

Research notes:

As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
There is preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments that they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/wikimedia-research/Discussion-tools-analysis-2020/blob/master/Engagement-Metrics/Reply-Tool-Workflow-Engagement-Metrics.ipynb#Reply-Tool-(Wikitext-and-VE)-vs-Full-Page-Wikitext]
The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[https://dtcheck.toolforge.org/] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
30px A large A/B test will start soon.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T252057] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias (not including the English Wikipedia) will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. Editors at those Wikipeedias can still turn it on or off for their own accounts in Special:Preferences.

= New discussion tool =

File:New Discussion Tool v1.0.png prototype.]]

The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/3e14959a196db0f7b0c32a35c99dc0fc/w/index.php/Project:Teahouse] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.

= Next: Notifications =

File:White square with question mark.png

During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

Problems

IPv6 addresses were written in lowercase letters in diffs. This caused dead links since Special:Contributions only accepted uppercase letters for the IPs. This has been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T272225]

Changes later this week

You can soon use Wikidata to link to pages on the multilingual Wikisource. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138332]
Often editors use a "non-breaking space" to make a gap between two items when reading but still show them together. This can be used to avoid a line break. You will now be able to add new ones via the special character tool in the 2010, 2017, and visual editors. The character will be shown in the visual editor as a space with a grey background. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70429][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T96666]
File:Octicons-tools.svg Wikis use abuse filters to stop bad edits being made. Filter maintainers can now use syntax like 1.2.3.4 - 1.2.3.55 as well as the 1.2.3.4/27 syntax for IP ranges. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218074]
File:Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-02-02|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2021-02-03|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2021-02-04|en}} (calendar).

Future changes

Minerva is the skin Wikimedia wikis use for mobile traffic. When a page is protected and you can't edit it you can normally read the source wikicode. This doesn't work on Minerva on mobile devices. This is being fixed. Some text might overlap. This is because your community needs to update MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext to work on mobile. You can read more. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Recommendations_for_mobile_friendly_articles_on_Wikimedia_wikis#Inline_styles_should_not_use_properties_that_impact_sizing_and_positioning][https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Recommendations_for_mobile_friendly_articles_on_Wikimedia_wikis#Avoid_tables_for_anything_except_data]
File:Octicons-tools.svg Cloud VPS and Toolforge will change the IP address they use to contact the wikis. The new IP address will be 185.15.56.1. This will happen on February 8. You can read more.

Recent changes

Wikis using the Growth team tools can now show the name of a newcomer's mentor anywhere through a magic word. This can be used for welcome messages or userboxes.
A new version of the VideoCutTool is now available. It enables cropping, trimming, audio disabling, and rotating video content. It is being created as part of the developer outreach programs.

Problems

There was a problem with the job queue. This meant some functions did not save changes and mass messages were delayed. This did not affect wiki edits. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275437]

File:Green check.svg Guideline and policy news

:*A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.

:*A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.

:*A request for comment seeks to grant page movers the {{code|delete-redirect}} userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Wikipedia:Page mover/delete-redirect.

:*A request for comment asks if sysops may {{tq|place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions}}?

:*There is a discussion in progress concerning automatic protection of each day's featured article with Pending Changes protection.

File:Octicons-tools.svg Technical news

:*When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.

:*When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.

:*There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (phab:T275322).

File:Scale of justice 2.svg Arbitration

:*By motion, the discretionary sanctions originally authorized under the GamerGate case are now authorized under a new Gender and sexuality case, with sanctions {{tq|authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people.}} Sanctions issued under GamerGate are now considered Gender and sexuality sanctions.

:*The Kurds and Kurdistan case was closed, authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for {{tq|the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly construed}}.

Reference Previews will become a default feature on some wikis on 17 March. They will share a setting with Page Previews. If you prefer the Reference Tooltips or Navigation-Popups gadget you can keep using them. If so Reference Previews won't be shown.

TheWikiWizard-March 2021

Hello, ZLEA! Here is the March 2021 issue of TheWikiWizard.

=Wikipedia News=

[https://www.wired.com/story/wikipedia-finally-asking-big-tech-to-pay-up/ I came across an interesting article about Wikipedia].
{{noping|TJMSmith}} had a successful RFA, Congrats!

=Humour=

This section was written by User:Canadian Otaku, I hope you enjoy it as much as I (Tsugaru) did!

If you edit Wikipedia around 1-5 AM, beware, as any admin could block you for being up too late!
It's really easy to break Wikipedia, just click here.
Ignore people telling you to stop putting "Hrrnngg,,,beans" on the article Bean (film), they don't know what good edits are.
Jimbo is god, and can do anything he wants to!

=Notes=

There are 2 new editors now, one of them {{noping|Berrely}}, and {{noping|CanadianOtaku}}. As mentioned Berrely is our new proofreader (typos beware) and Canadian Otaku is now going to be writing our Humor sections, I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for joining us, and remember, if you want to join, just let me know!

Recent changes

There is a Wikipedia app for KaiOS phones. They don't have a touch screen so readers navigate with the phone keys. There is now a [https://wikimedia.github.io/wikipedia-kaios/sim.html simulator] so you can see what it looks like.
The reply tool and new discussion tool are now available as the "{{int:discussiontools-preference-label}}" beta feature in almost all wikis except German Wikipedia.

Problems

You will be able to read but not edit twelve wikis for a short period of time on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210323T06 {{#time:j xg|2021-03-23|{{PAGELANGUAGE}}}} at 06:00 (UTC)].

Syntax highlighting colours will change to be easier to read. This will soon come to the first wikis. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Improved_Color_Scheme_of_Syntax_Highlighting]

Future changes

Flagged revisions will no longer have multiple tags like "tone" or "depth". It will also only have one tier. This was changed because very few wikis used these features and they make the tool difficult to maintain. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185664][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T277883]

Problems

When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split. It might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T278350]
Some translatable pages on Meta could not be edited. This was because of a bug in the translation tool. The new MediaWiki version was delayed because of problems like this. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T278429][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T274940]

Email to the Wikimedia wikis are handled by groups of Wikimedia editors. These volunteer response teams now use [https://github.com/znuny/Znuny Znuny] instead of OTRS. The functions and interface remain the same. The volunteer administrators will give more details about the next steps soon.

The latest version of MediaWiki came to the Wikimedia wikis last week. There was no Tech News issue last week.

Changes later this week

There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

The user group oversight will be renamed suppress. This is for technical reasons. This is the technical name. It doesn't affect what you call the editors with this user right on your wiki. This is planned to happen in two weeks. You can comment in Phabricator if you have objections.

Twinkle is a gadget on English Wikipedia. It can help with maintenance and patrolling. It can now be used on other wikis. You can get Twinkle on your wiki using the [https://github.com/wikimedia-gadgets/twinkle-starter twinkle-starter] GitHub repository.

Problems

The content translation tool did not work for many articles for a little while. This was because of a bug. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281346]

video wiki

hi, I was recently trying to convert Marburg virus disease using video wiki, however in the 'conversion' phase it would not go forward (I saw your name at the video wiki wikiproject thats how I though Id contact you), thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 18:32, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

"destruction" vs "significant damage"

In the article "Soft Landing", I had changed "significant damage or destruction" to just "significant damage". I felt that "without causing significant damage" included "without causing the destruction".

Why do you feel it is important to include the phrase "or destruction"?

Jmichael ll (talk) 16:46, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

:{{u|Jmichael ll}} "Significant damage" and "destruction" are two distinct terms. "Significant damage" generally means heavy but repairable damage, while "destruction" means heavy, non-repairable damage. A soft landing results in neither significant damage nor destruction. - ZLEA _T\^C 18:17, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

::I don't think anyone would say "it was destroyed, but it did not suffer significant damage".

::Jmichael ll (talk) 03:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

:::{{u|Jmichael ll}} One also would not say "It crashed, but did not land", though "crash" and "land" have two distict meanings. - ZLEA _T\^C 14:39, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Northrop navbox

Hi, you changed the scope of Template:Northrop aircraft to include aircraft engines last June but I can't easily see the engine article links. Can you help? Cheers Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 11:11, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

:{{u|Nimbus227}} I wasn't actually the one to change the scope of the navbox. I only noticed the following text in the template, "Only aircraft, aero engines, and missiles are linked here," so I added "aircraft engines" to the header. I just went through the template and found that only one aircraft engine, the Northrop-Hendy XT37, is actually linked (N-10 and N-19 in the company designations). - ZLEA _T\^C 14:45, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Recent changes

The Wikimedia movement has been using IRC on a network called Freenode. There have been changes around who is in control of the network. The Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts have decided to move to the new Libera Chat network instead. This is not a formal decision for the movement to move all channels but most Wikimedia IRC channels will probably leave Freenode. There is a migration guide and ongoing Wikimedia discussions about this.

TheWikiWizard-May 2021

Hello, ZLEA! Here is the May 2021 issue of TheWikiWizard.

=Wikipedia News=

The Simple English Wikipedia was mentioned in a article online very recently, you can read the article [https://lifehacker.com/get-easier-to-understand-results-with-simple-english-wi-1846763246 here].
Meta is looking for Board Election Volunteers you can read up more by following that link.
The English Wikipedia, has just passed 6,300,000 articles!

= Tip of the Month =

This tip is one of the many ways to combat spam on Wikipedia:

On Wikipedia, articles either meet the General Notability Guideline or not. When you come across a new article, it is extremely important to determine if it is a real article, or just a spam article. Start with a search on Google, for reliable sources, if you get none in return, then look at the article for non-NPOV content, also scan the references section in the article to see what sources it uses, and check the 'other languages' section and Wikidata to see if it is on other Wikipedias. If other Wikipedias have the same content and/or a CSD or AfD tag (WP:AFD) it is likely spam or not notable, so you can then nominate it for deletion to get input, remember that CSD criterion does not always apply to these articles depending on the content/contex. Also remember to check for copyright violations via [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ earwig's]

=Memorials=

{{noping|SlimVirgin}} has sadly passed away this month, you can read more about SlimVirgin's passing here

Reverted changes in The End

Dear ZLEA:

If you remember, you undid my last change. I added it because in the Spanish version of this wiki there was this phrase, which says:

A pesar de que ésta es la última página de Wikipedia, existe el rumor de que hay una página después de ésta, aunque se mantiene sin contenido. ¿La encontraste?

I just literally translated and put on the English version of this webpage, so no vandalism was intended.

If you understand, please revert your reversion of my edit.

Thank you: — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carel3DS (talk • contribs) 07:51, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

:{{u|Carel3DS}} The translated text you added does not fit with the English version of the page and it doesn't make much sense. Thank you for trying to help, though. - ZLEA _T\^C 13:48, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

You welcome :,)

USAF amphibious aircraft

Just to note that A1 to 8, 11, 13 and 15 were not used as part of change to the A (Amphibian) designation so it is wrong to list them in your new A template. MilborneOne (talk) 17:58, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

:Having another look at this we either need to put the OAs back where they were or create a new OA template and remove (or add a note) the not used ones from your new template. MilborneOne (talk) 18:10, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

:Sorry another thought is you could add the OA sequence to your new Amphibian template. MilborneOne (talk) 18:12, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

:Noted on the aircraft project page so others know we have an issue with the missing OAs. MilborneOne (talk) 18:23, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Future changes

The Wikimedia movement uses Phabricator for technical tasks. This is where we collect technical suggestions, bugs and what developers are working on. The company behind Phabricator will stop working on it. This will not change anything for the Wikimedia movement now. It could lead to changes in the future. [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/YAXOD46INJLAODYYIJUVQWOZFIV54VUI/][https://admin.phacility.com/phame/post/view/11/phacility_is_winding_down_operations/][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T283980]
Searching on Wikipedia will find more results in some languages. This is mainly true for when those who search do not use the correct diacritics because they are not seen as necessary in that language. For example searching for Bedusz doesn't find Będusz on German Wikipedia. The character ę isn't used in German so many would write e instead. This will work better in the future in some languages.

Logged-in users on the mobile web can choose to use the advanced mobile mode. They now see categories in a similar way as users on desktop do. This means that some gadgets that have just been for desktop users could work for users of the mobile site too. If your wiki has such gadgets you could decide to turn them on for the mobile site too. Some gadgets probably need to be fixed to look good on mobile. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284763]

File:Reply Tool A-B test comment completion.png

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:

Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were [https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/ more likely] to post a comment on a talk page.
The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also [https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/ less likely] to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

There was quick interruption in editing on Wikipedia, that was to test server switching should an emergency happen, more details can be found here.

Tech News

The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 19 July.

Recent changes

AutoWikiBrowser is a tool to make repetitive tasks easier. It now uses JSON. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage has moved to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON and Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Config. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version has moved to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/VersionJSON. The tool will eventually be configured on the wiki so that you don't have to wait until the new version to add templates or regular expression fixes. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T241196]

Problems

InternetArchiveBot helps saving online sources on some wikis. It adds them to Wayback Machine and links to them there. This is so they don't disappear if the page that was linked to is removed. It currently has a problem with linking to the wrong date when it moves pages from archive.is to web.archive.org. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T283432]

Changes later this week

The tool to find, add and remove templates will be updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It will come to the first wikis on 7 July. It will come to more wikis later this year. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Removing_a_template_from_a_page_using_the_VisualEditor][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284553]
There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

Some Wikimedia wikis use Flagged Revisions or pending changes. It hides edits from new and unregistered accounts for readers until they have been patrolled. The auto review action in Flagged Revisions will no longer be logged. All old logs of auto-review will be removed. This is because it creates a lot of logs that are not very useful.

spirit of Casia

thank you for your comment on Spirit of Cascia- much appreciated. I responded already with Aviation style headings and improving readability per your desire. Need a little help deleting that red ink because it in references and it in References section and being relative beginner, not sure how to delete it. please help/advise. thank you Mr./Ms.ZLEA ! RDBACE1 (talk) 05:29, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

:ZLEA: I note you have been working on Draft:Spirit of Cascia to improve it. Right now Spirit of Cascia redirects to Project Schoolflight. There is a large degree of overlap in these two articles. I have been looking at Draft:Spirit of Cascia and am not sure, if you strip out the overlap, that there will be much left. Perhaps it makes more sense to just incorporate what little new there is into Project Schoolflight. What do you think? - Ahunt (talk) 20:23, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks guys- Yes alot of overlap since it is plane #1 pf project schoolflight so understandable is the redirect. thank you both for your efforts and the redirect probably is correct in telling its story so you 2 I appreciate both your guidance and assistance. warmest cheers to both!

The tool to find, add and remove templates was updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It was supposed to come to the first wikis on 7 July. It was delayed to 12 July instead. It will come to more wikis later this year. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Removing_a_template_from_a_page_using_the_VisualEditor][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284553]
Special:UnconnectedPages lists pages that are not connected to Wikidata. This helps you find pages that can be connected to Wikidata items. Some pages should not be connected to Wikidata. You can use the magic word __EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ on pages that should not be listed on the special page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97577]

A new version of MediaWiki came to the Wikimedia wikis the week before last week. This was not in Tech News because there was no newsletter that week.

Changes later this week

If you use the Monobook skin you can choose to switch off responsive design on mobile. This will now work for more skins. If {{int:monobook-responsive-label}} is unticked you need to also untick the new preference {{int:prefs-skin-responsive}}. Otherwise it will stop working. Interface admins can automate this process on your wiki. You can read more.

List of presidents of the United States on currency

I undid your reversion of my edits to List of presidents of the United States on currency because I was bringing that page into compliance with MOS:JOBTITLES. I know you did it in good faith, so I just wanted to reach out so there's no misunderstanding.

I appreciate the good work you're doing! --Woko Sapien (talk) 14:53, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

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

Recent changes

File:Octicons-tools.svg If your wiki uses markup like
or
without the required dir attribute, then these will no longer work in 2 weeks. There is a short-term fix that can be added to your local wiki's Common.css page, which is explained at T287701. From now on, all usages should include the full attributes, for example:
or
. This also applies to some other HTML tags, such as span or code. You can find existing examples on your wiki that need to be updated, using the instructions at T287701.
Reminder: Wikimedia has migrated to the Libera Chat IRC network, from the old Freenode network. Local documentation should be updated.

Problems

Last week, all wikis had slow access or no access for 30 minutes. There was a problem with generating dynamic lists of articles on the Russian Wikinews, due to the bulk import of 200,000+ new articles over 3 days, which led to database problems. The problematic feature has been disabled on that wiki and developers are discussing if it can be fixed properly. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287380][https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/2021-07-26_ruwikinews_DynamicPageList]

Changes later this week

When adding links to a page using VisualEditor or the 2017 wikitext editor, disambiguation pages will now only appear at the bottom of search results. This is because users do not often want to link to disambiguation pages. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T285510]
File:Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-08-03|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2021-08-04|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2021-08-05|en}} (calendar).

Future changes

The team of the Wikipedia app for Android is working on communication in the app. The developers are working on how to talk to other editors and get notifications. You can read more. They are looking for users who want to test the plans. Any editor who has an Android phone and is willing to download the app can do this.
The Beta Feature for {{int:discussiontools-preference-label}} will be updated in the coming weeks. You will be able to subscribe to individual sections on a talk page at more wikis. You can test this now by adding ?dtenable=1 to the end of the talk page's URL ([https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta_talk:Sandbox?dtenable=1 example]).

Problems

You can read but not edit 17 wikis for a few minutes on 10 August. This is planned at [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1628571650 05:00 UTC]. This is because of work on the database. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287449]

File:Octicons-tools.svg The old CSS will not be supported after 12 August. Instead, templates and pages should use . Please help to replace any existing uses on your wiki. There are global-search links available at T287962.

Future changes

The Wikipedia Library is a place for Wikipedia editors to get access to sources. There is an extension which has a new function to tell users when they can take part in it. It will use notifications. It will start pinging the first users in September. It will ping more users later. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288070]

Recent changes

You can add language links in the sidebar in the new Vector skin again. You do this by connecting the page to a Wikidata item. The new Vector skin has moved the language links but the new language selector cannot add language links yet. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287206]

Problems

There was a problem on wikis which use the Translate extension. Translations were not updated or were replaced with the English text. The problems have been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288700][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288683][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288719]

Changes later this week

A revision tag will soon be added to edits that add links to disambiguation pages. This is because these links are usually added by accident. The tag will allow editors to easily find the broken links and fix them. If your wiki does not like this feature, it can be hidden. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287549]
Would you like to help improve the information about tools? Would you like to attend or help organize a small virtual meetup for your community to discuss the list of tools? Please get in touch on the Toolhub Quality Signal Sessions talk page. We are also looking for feedback from tool maintainers on some specific questions.
In the past, edits to any page in your user talk space ignored your mute list, e.g. sub-pages. Starting this week, this is only true for edits to your talk page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288112]

Recent changes

The Score extension ( notation) has been re-enabled on public wikis and upgraded to a newer version. Some musical score functionality may no longer work because the extension is only enabled in "safe mode". The security issue has been fixed and an advisory published.

=Humour=

There is no due date in Wikipedia, so I could take 1000 years to write this issue! ;P
If you are reading this, you are reading this! (makes no sense, but okay!)
There is no more Humour to put and this sentence is no longer funny.
The mess I made in my room is bigger than this city!
Here's a list of all events that happened between TWW issues

=Editors notes=

I have been really busy with school so I was unable to write this issue for a long time. Thanks for your patience. :)

Recent changes

Some musical score syntax no longer works and may needed to be updated, you can check :Category:{{MediaWiki:score-error-category}} on your wiki for a list of pages with errors.

Problems

Musical scores were unable to render lyrics in some languages because of missing fonts. This has been fixed now. If your language would prefer a different font, please file a request in Phabricator. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T289554]

Changes later this week

File:Octicons-tools.svg The parameters for how you obtain tokens in the MediaWiki API were changed in 2014. The old way will no longer work from 1 September. Scripts, bots and tools that use the parameters from before the 2014 change need to be updated. You can read more about this.
File:Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-08-31|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2021-09-01|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2021-09-02|en}} (calendar).

Reply-link officially superseded by DiscussionTools

Hi! Reply-link has officially been superseded by mw:DiscussionTools, which you can install using the "Discussion tools" checkbox under {{myprefs|Beta features}}. DiscussionTools, developed by the WMF's Editing Team, is faster and has more features than reply-link, and it wouldn't make sense for me to keep developing reply-link. I think the Editing Team is doing amazing work, and look forward to what they can do in the future. Thank you for using reply-link over the years! Enterprisey (talk!) 06:11, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Future changes

File:Octicons-tools.svg In 2017, the provided jQuery library was upgraded from version 1 to 3, with a compatibility layer. The migration will soon finish, to make the site load faster for everyone. If you maintain a gadget or user script, check if you have any JQMIGRATE errors and fix them, or they will break.

Wikiproject Military history coordinator election nomination period closing soon

Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election are still open, but not for long. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next year. The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available here. If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! No further nominations will be accepted after that time. Voting will commence on 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the current coord team. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:43, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

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

Recent changes

Growth features are now deployed to almost all Wikipedias. For the majority of small Wikipedias, the features are only available for experienced users, to test the features and configure them. Features will be available for newcomers starting on 20 September 2021.
MediaWiki had a feature that would highlight local links to short articles in a different style. Each user could pick the size at which "stubs" would be highlighted. This feature was very bad for performance, and following a consultation, has been removed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284917]
A technical change was made to the MonoBook skin to allow for easier maintenance and upkeep. This has resulted in some minor changes to HTML that make MonoBook's HTML consistent with other skins. Efforts have been made to minimize the impact on editors, but please ping Jon (WMF) on wiki or in phabricator if any problems are reported.

Problems

There was a problem with search last week. Many search requests did not work for 2 hours because of an accidental restart of the search servers. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/2021-09-13_cirrussearch_restart]

File:Octicons-tools.svg The meta=proofreadpage API has changed. The piprop parameter has been renamed to prpiprop. API users should update their code to avoid unrecognized parameter warnings. Pywikibot users should upgrade to 6.6.0. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290585]

Future changes

The Reply tool will be deployed to the remaining wikis in the coming weeks. It is currently part of "{{int:discussiontools-preference-label}}" in Beta features at most wikis. You will be able to turn it off in Editing Preferences. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T262331]
File:Octicons-tools.svg The previously announced change to how you obtain tokens from the API has been delayed to September 21 because of an incompatibility with Pywikibot. Bot operators using Pywikibot can follow T291202 for progress on a fix, and should plan to upgrade to 6.6.1 when it is released.

U.S. military aircraft renaming proposal

Howdy! Since we've been effectively collaborating on the grand reshuffle of U.S. military aircraft lists, I thought I would discuss an idea with you before I formally suggest it. I'd like to move List of military aircraft of the United States (1909–1919) to List of undesignated military aircraft of the United States (pre–1922). In other words, there would be two lists of undesignated aircraft—a modern list and a WWI-era list. Here's my reasoning:

All of the U.S. armed services have had one designation system or another continuously in effect since 1922. This list focuses on the era when undesignated aircraft were the norm rather than the exception. 1922 is a logical and easily understandable break point.
The list would not be overlong or scattershot; it would not have both the Curtiss Jenny and Citation Excel on it.
The source article would not require major surgery. Basically, the 1911 and 1914 U.S. Navy aircraft would be removed, and the lead would be edited—done!

Thoughts, feelings, opinions? Carguychris (talk) 13:01, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

:{{u|Carguychris}} I was actually thinking the same thing, but one question I have is whether there are enough post-1922 undesignated aircraft to merit a list separate from the pre-1922 list. To my knowledge, most undesignated aircraft used by the US post-1922 were never officially acquired, being loans instead. - ZLEA _T\^C 14:18, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

::{{u|ZLEA}} On second thought, I think I'll keep it simple and propose List of undesignated military aircraft of the United States, and we'll consider splitting it later. Carguychris (talk) 15:09, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

:::{{u|ZLEA}} I've proposed the page move as suggested; you're invited to comment. Carguychris (talk) 19:31, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

::::{{u|Carguychris}} Thanks for letting me know. And just a friendly note, you don’t need to ping people on their own talk pages since users are notified whether there is a ping or not. - ZLEA _T\^C 20:38, 23 September 2021 (UTC) ZLEA _T\^C 20:38, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Recent changes

iOS 15 has a new function called [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212614 Private Relay] (Apple website). This can hide the user's IP when they use Safari browser. This is like using a VPN in that we see another IP address instead. It is opt-in and only for those who pay extra for iCloud. It will come to Safari users on OSX later. There is a technical discussion about what this means for the Wikimedia wikis.

Problems

File:Octicons-tools.svg Some gadgets and user-scripts add items to the portlets (article tools) part of the skin. A recent change to the HTML may have made those links a different font-size. This can be fixed by adding the CSS class .vector-menu-dropdown-noicon. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T291438]

Changes later this week

The GettingStarted extension was built in 2013, and provides an onboarding process for new account holders in a few versions of Wikipedia. However, the recently developed Growth features provide a better onboarding experience. Since the vast majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features, GettingStarted will be deactivated starting on 4 October. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235752]
A small number of users will not be able to connect to the Wikimedia wikis after 30 September. This is because an old root certificate will no longer work. They will also have problems with many other websites. Users who have updated their software in the last five years are unlikely to have problems. Users in Europe, Africa and Asia are less likely to have immediate problems even if their software is too old. You can read more.
You can receive notifications when someone leaves a comment on user talk page or mentions you in a talk page comment. Clicking the notification link will now bring you to the comment and highlight it. Previously, doing so brought you to the top of the section that contained the comment. You can find more information in T282029.

Future changes

A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them has been enabled for the following 10 wikis: mediawiki.org, the Italian, Catalan, Hebrew and Vietnamese Wikipedias, French Wikisource, and English Wikivoygage, Wikibooks, Wiktionary and Wikinews. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist on those wikis you can let the developers know.

Changes later this week

File:Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2021-10-05|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2021-10-06|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2021-10-07|en}} (calendar).
File:Octicons-tools.svg Some gadgets and bots that use the API to read the AbuseFilter log might break. The hidden property will no longer say an entry is implicit for unsuppressed log entries about suppressed edits. If your bot needs to know this, do a separate revision query. Additionally, the property will have the value false for visible entries; previously, it wasn't included in the response. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T291718]
A more efficient way of sending changes from Wikidata to Wikimedia wikis that show them will be enabled for all production wikis. If you notice anything strange about how changes from Wikidata appear in recent changes or your watchlist you can let the developers know.

Future changes

You can soon get cross-wiki notifications in the iOS Wikipedia app. You can also get notifications as push notifications. More notification updates will follow in later versions. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/iOS/Notifications#September_2021_update]
File:Octicons-tools.svg The JavaScript variables wgExtraSignatureNamespaces, wgLegalTitleChars, and wgIllegalFileChars will soon be removed from mw.config. These are not part of the "stable" variables available for use in wiki JavaScript. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T292011]
File:Octicons-tools.svg The JavaScript variables wgCookiePrefix, wgCookieDomain, wgCookiePath, and wgCookieExpiration will soon be removed from mw.config. Scripts should instead use mw.cookie from the "mediawiki.cookie" module. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T291760]

Reorganization of List of undesignated military aircraft of the United States

Howdy! I'm in the process of fleshing out the List of undesignated military aircraft of the United States, and to cut down on the repetition, I'm toying with a presentation similar to the designated aircraft lists, i.e. mission, then manufacturer, then aircraft type. I think this presentation will make the list easier to follow, but it's also going to make it substantially longer, so I'd like your input. A dummy version of the "World War I to World War II" section can be viewed in my sandbox. Carguychris (talk) 17:09, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

:{{u|Carguychris}} I like the look of it, but one problem I have with separating the list by eras such as "World War I to World War II" is that such eras are not good cutoff points for many branches of the US military. A better way to separate the list (in my opinion) would be by the branches themselves:

:*Army (aircraft operated by the Army and Signal Corps but not by the USAAS/AAC/AAF)

:*Air Force (including the USAAS/AAC/AAF)

:*Navy

:*Marine Corps

:*Coast Guard (the USCG is still military even if it is non-combat)

:*Space Force (not sure if the USSF uses its own aircraft or borrows from other branches)

:Another thing to consider is that since the undesignated aircraft do not follow any numeric sequence, perhaps we should consider something like the tables of List of aircraft of the Royal Air Force. I'm thinking that this would be more convenient if we want to list the aircraft by entry into service date. - ZLEA _T\^C 17:47, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

::I actually really like the idea of emulating the RAF list because it conveys a lot of information neatly and it's sortable. I hadn't thought of that, thanks! Also, I was already considering eliminating the eras for the exact reasons you suggest, but I'm trying to first formulate a solid plan for reorganizing the list so I don't have to do major surgery twice. Carguychris (talk) 17:58, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

:::I'm going to start an example table in my sandbox. - ZLEA _T\^C 17:59, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

::::Comments on the proposed breakdown of the service branches: my brief research suggests that the U.S. Coast Guard has only ever operated a small handful of undesignated aircraft, most of which were borrowed directly from the Navy. A brief USCG list like the ones at the bottom of the RAF list article would probably suffice, rather than a full-blown table. Also, USMC aviation has always operated in practice as a branch of naval aviation, so it's often impractical to disentangle USN aircraft from USMC aircraft, and many reference sources don't even try to do so. They may need to go in the same table. Carguychris (talk) 20:52, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

:::::{{u|Carguychris}} I've started the tables in my sandbox. Feel free to add to them or copy them to your own sandbox. - ZLEA _T\^C 00:45, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

::::::I like it! However, I like how the RAF table has a brief aircraft description under "Notes" and blank spaces for unknown dates rather than question marks, so I think I'll make those changes. I'll copy those tables to my sandbox and start building a similar USN/USMC table. Carguychris (talk) 17:00, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

TheWikiWizard- December 2021

Hi, ZLEA! Here is the December 2021 issue of TheWikiWizard!

===Humour===

Christmas is here again, time to bug people to get you the stuff you really, really want! (Anyone going to get me some butter cookies, or that giant Costco teddy bear?)
If you don't like turkey, there's always the rotisserie chicken!
If you ate too much turkey and regret it, then you should have read the above message ;)

=Wikipedia News =

:We don't have much to report this month, but we do have the following...

The Simple English Wikipedia has almost reached 200,000 articles!
Wikipedia Asian Month which took place in November, has finished. Now, all the articles are judged and then it is determined who gets the postcards, even if you don't get one, or didn't participate, there is always next year, and we thank you for everything you have done!
Arbitration Committee Elections December 2021 took place earlier this month, for elegible editors. (At the time of this writing it was still taking place, but I assumed by the time this issue was sent, it would have been finished - It is set to finish at December 6 2021 at 23:59 UTC )

===Editor's Notes===

I haven't forgotten about TWW ;) Don't worry.
TWW is in the process of getting a new main page, if you have any ideas, or would like to help, please shoot a message on the TWW talk page.
That's it for this issue! This is the last issue for 2021. See you all in 2022! Have a safe and happy holiday season!

HESA Saeqeh

hellow. the word "saeqeh" is 100% arabic meaning thunderbolt. Azarakhsh is the persian word for thunderbolt.Sikorsky Cyclone (talk) 10:18, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

:{{u|Sikorsky Cyclone}} When I pop صاعقه into Google Translate, it automatically detects it as Persian for "lightning". If you read the Arabic script article, you will notice that the first sentence states that the script is used not only used for Arabic, but many other languages as well (the first listed being Persian). Now I ask you, do you read Arabic script? Can you be 100% certain that the script is not meant to be Persian? - ZLEA _T\^C 15:16, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

206 navbox

Hi Z, thanks for creating the :Template:JetRanger family navbox. I actually started on doing one last week, but realized I didn't have enough time and closed it out uncreated. I was also thinking about one for the F-5 and F-18 families, since they are distantly but directly related. Do you think that would work? Regards. BilCat (talk) 00:15, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Btw, I was going to include the Bell 47J Ranger, as it's sort of a predecessor, especially of the HO-4. Do you think that would be worth adding? BilCat (talk) 00:23, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

:{{u|BilCat}} I had considered including the Model 47J in the navbox, but I had found no evidence that the Ranger and JetRanger were actually related other than name. I would not be opposed to adding it if we can find that they shared a development lineage. As for an F-5/F-18 navbox, I think it would work. - ZLEA _T\^C 01:13, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

::{{u|BilCat}} On the 47J, it's probably more of a "spiritual" connection, as shown by the name, with Bell wanting to capitalize on the previous name, and it worked. I used to have a source that talked about the redesign of the 206, and it might have mentioned that sort of connection. As to the F-5 and F-18, there's a definite evolutionary design connection, which is covered in the YF-17 article, though there are no common parts, of course. Also, I can see the family resemblance in the HESA Saeqeh, which is an F-5 with F-18-style twin fins. It's quite remarkable, to me anyway. BilCat (talk) 01:54, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

:::I agree about the HESA Saeqeh, along with the more blatant HESA copies. I'm working on the navbox now and am including the Iranian aircraft in the list of foreign variants. As for the 47J, I'm fine with inclusion in the JetRanger navbox as a predecessor, and possible as a variant if a direct developmental lineage can be confirmed. - ZLEA _T\^C 02:00, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

::::If I can jump in here - there is no design linage or parts commonality shared between the Bell 47J Ranger and the Bell 206 Jet Ranger. Bell just liked the marketing value of the Ranger name and decided to keep it for the turbine 206. - Ahunt (talk) 02:09, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

:::::On the 47J, I think we could put it in a See also in the footer. Z, thanks for going ahead and creating the F-5 navbox. Though I fully intended to do it myself, and I wasn't fishing for someone to do it for me (although I have been known to do that!), I do appreciate it very much. BilCat (talk) 03:28, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

::::::I don't mind creating these navboxes. It gives me something to do between semesters when I don't have access to my university's library to create obscure aircraft articles. - ZLEA _T\^C 03:31, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

:::::::No problem. I was going to name it "F-5 and F-18 families", and have the two types separated to make clear that while there is a direct connection, it's a distant one. Do you think that would work better? BilCat (talk) 03:48, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

::::::::That would probably be better. - ZLEA _T\^C 03:49, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

:::::::::* I'm not good with nesting groups, so would you mind doing that? BilCat (talk) 03:56, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

:::::::::::I didn't think to nest them. It's done. - ZLEA _T\^C 04:01, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

:::::::::{{tq|On the 47J, I think we could put it in a See also in the footer. }} - works for me! - Ahunt (talk) 03:52, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 22

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 22nd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter. This issue will be covering new and updated user scripts from the past seven months (June through December 2021).

File:Farm-Fresh scripts text.png Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

File:Cscr-featured.svg Featured script

File:Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg Updated scripts

SD0001: hide-reverted-edits has been updated to take into account changes in reversion tools like Twinkle and RedWarn.
Writ Keeper: massRollback.js has added a rollback-some option (missed in last issue).
ClaudineChionh: SkinSwitcher (a fork and update of Eizen's script) provides an options menu/toolbox/toolbar allowing users to view a given page in MediaWiki's default skins.

File:Text-x-source.svg

File:1009Clock.jpg Pending requests

Mass-patrolling at Special:NewPages
Taking up the mantle of an almost completed peer review javascript bot
Restore the Wikipedia Citation Tool for Google Books
Autohighlighting specific characters (Greek)
...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

File:Info Simple bw.svg Miscellaneous

Wikipedia:User scripts/Ranking is a sortable table of Wikipedia's thousand-or-so most commonly used scripts; it includes their author, last modification date, installation count, and sometimes a short description.
Toolhub is a community managed catalog of software tools used in the Wikimedia movement. Technical volunteers can use Toolhub to document the tools that they create or maintain. All Wikimedians can use Toolhub to search for tools to help with their workflows and to create lists of useful tools to share with others.

File:Gnome-colors-list-add.svg New scripts

Ahecht:
draft-sorter sorts AfC drafts by adding WikiProject banners to their talk pages. It supersedes User:Enterprisey/draft-sorter, adding a few features and fixing some bugs.
massmove, a modified User:Plastikspork/massmove.js that adds a link to the left column, allows adding and removing both prefixes and suffixes.
watchlistcleaner removes missing pages (redlinks), redirects, pages you haven't edited recently, and/or pages you've never edited from your watchlist.

FlightTime:
OneClickArchiver is a custom version of User:Technical_13/Scripts/OneClickArchiver which doesn't prepend {{Tl|Clear}} to the top of each section on the archive page.
Jon Harald Søby:
diffedit enables editing directly from viewing a diff "when, for instance, you notice a tiny mistake deep into an article, and don't want to edit the entire article and re-find that one line to fix that tiny mistake".
warnOnLargeFile warns you if you're about to open a very large file (width/height >10,000px or file size >100 MB) from a file page.
JPxG:
[https://github.com/jp-x-g/PressPass PressPass] adds a collection of tools for Newspapers.com including configurable automatic citation generation in five different formats.
CurrentSwitcher gives you links on the contribs page to hide duplicate entries, current revisions, rollbacks, huggles, twinkles, and redwarns.
TrackSum lets you automatically sum the lengths of tracks in templates like {{tl|track listing}} and get total runtimes.
Nardog:
CopySectLink adds a button to copy the unencoded page title or section path next to each heading.
IPAInput allows you to type in IPA symbols by directly looking at an IPA key like Help:IPA/English and clicking on the symbols.
TemplatePreviewGuard warns when you try to use "Preview page with this template" with a page that doesn't transclude the template.
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh:
ContribsTabVector adds "Contributions" and "Statistics" tabs to user and user talk pages on the Vector skin.
CopyvioChecker adds a "CopyvioCheck" tab to all pages, except Special (Vector skin only).
LiveDiffLink is a version of Equazcion's LiveDiffLink which shows a wikilink instead of a URL.
QuickDiff (by OneTwoThreeFall at Fandom) lets you quickly view any diff link on a wiki, whether on Recent Changes, contribs pages, history pages, the diff view itself, or elsewhere. For more information, view its [https://dev.fandom.com/wiki/QuickDiff page on Fandom].
Novem Linguae:
DetectSNG scans a list of 1,600 SNG keywords and displays them at the top of the article.
NotSoFast highlights recently created articles in the new pages feed, to discourage patrolling them too quickly.
UserRightsDiff concisely displays what perm was added or removed when viewing Special:UserRights.
VoteCounter displays a rough count of keeps and deletes at XFDs, RFCs, etc.
WatchlistAFD automatically watchlists the AFDs of any pages you AFC accept or NPP patrol, to help you calibrate your reviewing.
P.T.Đ:
TwinkleMobile enables Twinkle on mobile view (Minerva skin).
Qwerfjkl:
editRedirect adds a → link after redirects to edit them.
RegExTypoFix, a script for fixing typos, is a wrapper for User:Joeytje50/RETF.js.
talkback creates links after user talk page links like this: |{{False link|C}}|{{False link|TB}} (with the first linking to the user's contributions, and the latter giving the option of sending a {{tl|talkback}} notice). It also adds a [{{False link|copy}}] link next to section headers.
Rublov:
diff-link shows "copy" links on history and contributions pages that copy an internal link to the diff (e.g., Special:Diff/1026402230) to your clipboard when clicked.
Rummskartoffel:
auto-watchlist-expiry automatically watchlists every page you edit for a user-definable duration (you can still pick a different time using the dropdown, though).
generate pings generates the wikitext needed to ping all members of a category, up to 50 editors (the limit defined by MediaWiki).
share ExpandTemplates url allows for easy sharing of your inputs to Special:ExpandTemplates. It adds a button that, when clicked, copies a shareable URL to your exact invocation of the page, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ExpandTemplates?wpContextTitle=John+Doe+%28Wikipedia+editor%29&wpInput=%7B%7B%23invoke%3AExample%7Chello%7D%7D&wpRemoveComments=1&wpRemoveNowiki=0&wpGenerateXml=1&wpGenerateRawHtml=0 like this]. Other editors do not need to have this script installed in order to access the URL generated.
show tag names shows the real names of tags next to their display names in places such as page revision histories or the watchlist.
Tol:
VisualEditor Citation Needed adds a button (under "Insert") in VisualEditor to add a {{tl|citation needed}} tag.
Venkat TL:
ColourContrib color-codes the user contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit the page.
Vukky:
StatusChanger is a fork of Enterprisey's Status Changer, which adds a UI to the script. (using Morebits, so you'll need to have Twinkle enabled to use it).

All in all, some very neat scripts were written in these last few months. Hoping to see many more in the next issue -- drop us a line on the talk page if you've been writing (or seeing) anything cool and good. Filling in for DannyS712, this has been jp×g. Take care, and merry Christmas! jp×g 07:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
