I've been waiting on the mediawiki team working on enhancing talk page experience to roll out automated page management which preserved linking to the topic headers. Possibly that is supported now? Seeing now that my talk page can't be saved, I wouldn't mind the help. I still think this should be solved by the Mediawiki configuration and not by ad-hoc user scripts and bots as this is a core function of communication and linking should be preserved. See my previous note <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wolfgang8741#Archiving" title="User talk:Wolfgang8741">User talk:Wolfgang8741#Archiving</a> though I'm not opposed to getting some help. I don't have time at the moment to move some of the automated newsletter posts like "<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wolfgang8741#Wikidata_weekly_summary_#430" title="User talk:Wolfgang8741">Wikidata weekly summary #430</a>" and " <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wolfgang8741#This_Month_in_GLAM:_September_2020" title="User talk:Wolfgang8741"><i>This Month in GLAM</i>: September 2020</a>" to their own subpages and probably the largest offenders for space. I don't link to those posts typically, but do reference them and do link to other conversation on and off wiki. I just don't remember where those newsletters are configured to fix where they post and would love if they linked back to manage that so users can find it easier. Sorry for not managing this, I was hoping it would be fixed by the system updating to something that didn't break links and broadly implement pagination. <a href="/wiki/User:Wolfgang8741" title="User:Wolfgang8741">Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who?</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wolfgang8741" title="User talk:Wolfgang8741">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux#c-Wolfgang8741-20240112195200-Response_about_my_talk_page" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Wolfgang8741-20240112195200-Response_about_my_talk_page"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Wolfgang8741-20240112195200-Response_about_my_talk_page"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Xaosflux-20240112200600-Wolfgang8741-20240112195200"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Wolfgang8741" title="User:Wolfgang8741">Wolfgang8741</a> it happens, and it isn't a huge deal. I agree that scripts and bots can be problematic in this matter! I can give your page a try to just get it easily usable in the short-term with a one-time archive (and if you don't like it just revert we are a wiki after all! Technically the mass-message newsletters reveal their list, but it is in the form of a hidden comment on the page source (e.g. that one is <a class="external text" href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global_message_delivery/Targets/Wikidata">here</a>). Hope you don't think I'm singling you out here, someone linked your page in an example of very large pages in another discussion and I thought you could use some help. Things are certainly easier if editors can just worry about making the encyclopedia better and not this technical stuff! — <a href="/wiki/User:Xaosflux" title="User:Xaosflux"><span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span></a> <sup><a class="mw-selflink selflink"><span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span></a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux#c-Xaosflux-20240112200600-Wolfgang8741-20240112195200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:06, 12 January 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Xaosflux-20240112200600-Wolfgang8741-20240112195200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Xaosflux-20240112200600-Wolfgang8741-20240112195200"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Tech_News:_2024-03" data-mw-thread-id="h-Tech_News:_2024-03-20240116001100"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Tech_News:_2024-03-20240116001100"></span>Tech News: 2024-03<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Tech_News:_2024-03-20240116001100"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xaosflux&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Tech News: 2024-03"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <div class="plainlinks"> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-MediaWiki_message_delivery-20240116001100-Tech_News:_2024-03"></span>Latest <b><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News">tech news</a></b> from the Wikimedia technical community.

Can you help me with something UI related? </p><p>In our Albanian village pump we have these "windows", called "Dritare", which you can check for yourself <a href="https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Kuvendi" class="extiw" title="sq:WP:Kuvendi">here</a>, just below the main header. The idea is to have our VP act as a central hub where admins/experienced users can quickly check the main pages of our community through the so-called "windows" and interact with them to solve any issues without having to leave the page. This is achieved through section transclusion and it works rather fine on its own. Been using it for quite some months now. I was recently thinking to enhance it by introducing a new feature: "Non-empty" windows will have red backgrounds to indicate their backlog status and hopefully draw the attention of interested volunteers. Is there a way you think this can be achieved using only CSS? The problem lies on the "non-empty" part because they're never empty per se, having HTML tags and Mediawiki templates in them. I mean "non-empty" as in "not having any sections/issues open". I'm not sure how to handle targeting in this case or if it is even possible. Maybe that's not achievable using only CSS? - <a href="/wiki/User:Klein_Mu%C3%A7i" title="User:Klein Muçi">Klein Muçi</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Klein_Mu%C3%A7i" title="User talk:Klein Muçi">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux#c-Klein_Muçi-20240208115500-CSS_help_-_section_transclusion" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:55, 8 February 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Klein_Muçi-20240208115500-CSS_help_-_section_transclusion"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Klein_Muçi-20240208115500-CSS_help_-_section_transclusion"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Xaosflux-20240208132700-Klein_Muçi-20240208115500"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Klein_Mu%C3%A7i" title="User:Klein Muçi">Klein Muçi</a> sorry, can't think of a pure CSS route for that. Also, it looks like you are really transcluding those entire page contents? (e.g. <a href="https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrata/Votimet/Kandidatura_p%C3%ABr_administrator%C3%AB/Kandidatura_nga_t%C3%AB_tjer%C3%AB" class="extiw" title="sq:Wikipedia:Administrata/Votimet/Kandidatura për administratorë/Kandidatura nga të tjerë">w:sq:Wikipedia:Administrata/Votimet/Kandidatura për administratorë/Kandidatura nga të tjerë</a> not just a section of the page) - so page transclusion may be smoother then section tranclusion (which is known to be buggy). As you have these collapsed, I'm assuming you actually want to color the collapsed titles in <a href="https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kuvendi/Hyrja" class="extiw" title="sq:Wikipedia:Kuvendi/Hyrja">w:sq:Wikipedia:Kuvendi/Hyrja</a>? (Because otherwise the user still would have to bother expanding it to see the 'red' - and at that point they would already be seeing the 'empty'. So that means you'd be stuck with some javascript - to check for the presence of some sub.sub element, then have it change the class of the area to recolor. Short answer: CSS can't do complex conditionals. Potential workaround could be procedural, "when clearing this page, uncomment the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Empty" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Empty">empty</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> line" - which could emmit something. — <a href="/wiki/User:Xaosflux" title="User:Xaosflux"><span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span></a> <sup><a class="mw-selflink selflink"><span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span></a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux#c-Xaosflux-20240208132700-Klein_Muçi-20240208115500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:27, 8 February 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Xaosflux-20240208132700-Klein_Muçi-20240208115500"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Xaosflux-20240208132700-Klein_Muçi-20240208115500"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Klein_Muçi-20240208135100-Xaosflux-20240208132700"></span>The reason I went with sections instead of pages is because in that page you linked (admin-related one) the sections are supposed to always be there and that wouldn't show the usual "empty appearance" in the window while also showing the section titles forever in the VP's TOC. And yes, I want the background of the collapsed titles to be red. That's what I thought. Is there a way to have page-related JS instead of utilizing the common.js page?

This goes a bit heavily on the gadget element. I was hoping for a more direct approach towards scripts in general. While one might argue that there isn't any difference between the two words, I believe in practice there is. For example, some time ago I was forced to use JS to solve an issue on our main page (removing some pipes and parentheses, we've talked about it together too). It would seem a bit weird to call this script "a gadget" and have it stand aside on the Mediawiki NS. It's just a script used to modify a single accompanying page. Anyway, this is just tangentially related to the topic's discussion.<br style="margin-bottom:0.5em"/>Thank you for your suggestion! Unfortunately, knowing my community, any form of interaction diminishes the chance for help volunteering.

The general workflow for adding a new gadget it to propose it (it can be on the article talk in this case) - then to advertise it at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:VPT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:VPT">WP:VPT</a>. If the discussion is open for a reasonable period of time with no objection (perhaps a week) activate the edit request and a patrolling intadmin will likely come take care of it. If we run across something that will be complicated (like that xray viewer at VPT right now) or something that will have a large deployment scope (a certain chess game player comes to mind) - it will require more discussion. — <a href="/wiki/User:Xaosflux" title="User:Xaosflux"><span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span></a> <sup><a class="mw-selflink selflink"><span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span></a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux#c-Xaosflux-20240531165100-28bytes-20240531160400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:51, 31 May 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Xaosflux-20240531165100-28bytes-20240531160400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Xaosflux-20240531165100-28bytes-20240531160400"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-28bytes-20240531171700-Xaosflux-20240531165100"></span>Sounds good, thanks. <a href="/wiki/User:28bytes" title="User:28bytes">28bytes</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:28bytes" title="User talk:28bytes">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux#c-28bytes-20240531171700-Xaosflux-20240531165100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:17, 31 May 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-28bytes-20240531171700-Xaosflux-20240531165100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-28bytes-20240531171700-Xaosflux-20240531165100"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Another_update" data-mw-thread-id="h-Another_update-20240601153100"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Another_update-20240601153100"></span>Another update<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Another_update-20240601153100"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xaosflux&action=edit&section=80" title="Edit section: Another update"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Doc_James-20240601153100-Another_update"></span>Can we get another update of the CT scan viewer?

Hope you're doing okay. It's been a while without talking. Can you help me diagnose a CSS problem I'm having with the "new" Vector theme on my homewiki? As you can see from the image, the right sidebar goes underneath the main content on small screens. The same thing doesn't happen with the left sidebar. This is related to our grid (obviously) because when removing the CSS properties for it is starts behaving normally. Any idea what element do I need to target on the skin to handle this? - <a href="/wiki/User:Klein_Mu%C3%A7i" title="User:Klein Muçi">Klein Muçi</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Klein_Mu%C3%A7i" title="User talk:Klein Muçi">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux#c-Klein_Muçi-20240604103900-CSS_issue" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:39, 4 June 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Klein_Muçi-20240604103900-CSS_issue"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Klein_Muçi-20240604103900-CSS_issue"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Xaosflux-20240604134800-Klein_Muçi-20240604103900"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Klein_Mu%C3%A7i" title="User:Klein Muçi">Klein Muçi</a> Are you using a fixed-width (or min-width) element in your localization?

I recently found myself blocked from editing because of an issue with my IP range (<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/136.226.0.0/16">135.226.0.0/16</a>), and it said that you were the blocking admin. I am at a loss at what my options are. I hope you can help me with this problem. I make my edits to Wikipedia from my office at work (I am a disclosed paid editor), and it is my company's policy to use a proxy, and there is no option to disable the proxy when editing Wikipedia. Perhaps you can change the block from a total block to "anonymous only" which would allow me to continue editing in good faith as I have been for the past two years. Alternatively, could you possibly grant an exemption to the block of my IP? I appreciate your attention to this matter.

From your message above it sounds like services (i.e. making contributions to Wikipedia) that your company wants to provide is not working because of configuration that they control. Your network administrator should be able to configure a "split tunnel" for Wikipedia sites. This is a common fix for businesses that need to connect their business networks to restricted external networks.

I have been using the tool for years for that wiki. I've done exactly as described at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Using_AWB_with_2FA" title="Wikipedia:Using AWB with 2FA">Wikipedia:Using AWB with 2FA</a>, including ticking all the boxes (step no. 4 on the page). The tool still won't let me in, saying <i>the user doesn't have enough privileges to make automatic edits</i>. Should I do something on mk.wiki?

A maintenance script was run to clean up unreachable pages (due to Unicode issues or introduction of new namespaces/namespace aliases). The script tried to find appropriate names for the pages (e.g. by following the Unicode changes or by moving pages whose titles on Wikipedia start with <code>Talk:WP:</code> so that their titles start with <code>Wikipedia talk:</code>), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><a href="/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/" title="Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/">Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/</a></bdi> instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed.

The abusefilter could do this, but it's too expensive to make single user rules. As an softer alternative to a site-wide editing block, you could use a namespace block against the entire "Wikipedia:" namespace to curtail the disruptive behavior of an editor. — <a href="/wiki/User:Xaosflux" title="User:Xaosflux"><span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span></a> <sup><a class="mw-selflink selflink"><span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span></a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux#c-Xaosflux-20240822000900-Bbb23-20240822000000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:09, 22 August 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Xaosflux-20240822000900-Bbb23-20240822000000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Xaosflux-20240822000900-Bbb23-20240822000000"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Bbb23-20240822003800-Xaosflux-20240822000900"></span>I thought about the Wikipedia namespace block, but although the editor has problems with other administrative boards as well as SPI, I don't think it's sufficiently widespread to justify the wider block.

As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/WDQS_graph_split" class="extiw" title="d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split">WDQS Graph Split project</a>, we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the "<a class="external text" href="https://query-scholarly.wikidata.org">scholarly</a>" and "<a class="external text" href="https://query-main.wikidata.org">main</a>" subgraphs of Wikidata. The <a class="external text" href="https://query.wikidata.org">query.wikidata.org endpoint</a> will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph.

This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes. <a class="external autonumber"

In SqWiki this step, being a bit unintuitive, is always forgotten by users which expect to be done with the request once they create the page with all the info for it and then wonder why it is not showing up anywhere. Is there a bot that you use to handle such cases in EnWiki? Maybe I could ask its operator to lend a hand even on our community. - <a href="/wiki/User:Klein_Mu%C3%A7i" title="User:Klein Muçi">Klein Muçi</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Klein_Mu%C3%A7i" title="User talk:Klein Muçi">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux#c-Klein_Muçi-20241112090100-Bot_transcluding_requests" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:01, 12 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Klein_Muçi-20241112090100-Bot_transcluding_requests"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Klein_Muçi-20241112090100-Bot_transcluding_requests"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Xaosflux-20241112103300-Klein_Muçi-20241112090100"></span>No we don't. It's sort of a feature, if someone can't follow a simple direction like "transclude your request" - they likely shouldn't be running a bot here or be an admin here. For lightweight requests, perhaps you should have requesters make a new section rather than a new page. If you did want to do it, you could build something to look for, such as have the new page creation workflow inlcude <a href="/w/index.php?title=Category:OPEN_requests_for_XXXYYYZZZ&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Category:OPEN requests for XXXYYYZZZ (page does not exist)">Category:OPEN requests for XXXYYYZZZ</a>, then your bot could patrol the listing page for pages missing (and make the request closing process remove that category). We thought about doing that one time, but found that often people would make their requests, but not be finished making them - or just not be ready to fully commit to their request yet. — <a href="/wiki/User:Xaosflux" title="User:Xaosflux"><span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span></a> <sup><a class="mw-selflink selflink"><span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span></a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux#c-Xaosflux-20241112103300-Klein_Muçi-20241112090100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:33, 12 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Xaosflux-20241112103300-Klein_Muçi-20241112090100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Xaosflux-20241112103300-Klein_Muçi-20241112090100"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Klein_Muçi-20241112125000-Xaosflux-20241112103300"></span>I see.
