Feedback on Vector (2022) conversation
Hello! As a member of WikiProject Usability, I wanted to draw your attention to a conversation currently underway on WP:VPR (see the beginning of the discussion) around adopting Vector 2022 as the new default skin.
The Web team at the Wikimedia Foundation has been working on Vector 2022 for the past three years, collaborating with the English Wikipedia community as well as other wikis to ensure that the skin performs better qualitatively and quantitatively for readers and communities than the previous Vector skin. The goal of the new skin is to create a more welcoming and easier to use experience for readers and editors across the wiki. For more details, see our new FAQ.
For the past couple of months, we have collected thoughts from the English Wikipedia community on what changes need to be made to the skin prior to it being considered ready for deployment. Our next step would be to start an RfC to assess whether the community considers Vedtor 2022 ready.
Prior to the beginning of the RfC, we wanted to draw your attention to the current conversation and encourage your feedback on the skin.
- The sticky header makes it easier to access tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%
- The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jumped between sections 50% more than with the old table of contents
- The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the wikis we tested on
- The collapsible sidebar allows readers and editors to choose whether they want to see the main menu or not. Our testing shows that this allows people to better focus on their current task - reading with a collapsed menu, or editing with an open menu
- The language switching menu makes it possible to switch languages without scrolling
- The user menu collects all user links in a single place, making it easier to understand what each link does. In testing, 71% of surveyed editors reported positive experiences with the new menu

Circular redirect
I just changed about 20 hatnotes in List of lakes of the United States (in this case using {{main list}}) where the target was the same article. This would probably be a good error to flag, if reasonable to do so. I have no idea how feasible this is, so just passing this along for you to consider. MB 15:33, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
- That … would be fairly impractical to flag, plus redirect-target-checking operations are expensive. My judgement is that that's not worth the effort and cost to implement in the various modules. I'd start by looking/asking around if there's a database report or similar on circular redirects … perhaps starting at Wikipedia:WikiProject Check Wikipedia? {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 16:10, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
- OK, thought that it might be easy, like wherever you do the redlink check, just adding there if not redlink, then is the target same as this page? But I am probably over-simplifying.
- I did look at WikiProject Check Wikipedia, but that is all focused on scanning the source code. It does find circular redirects that exist up as wikilinks in the source code. But these are not links in the code, they are template parameters. I guess I could make a bot request for someone to write a bot that scanned hatnotes for the article name used as a parameter, but even that would miss cases where there is an intermediate redirect involved. Since don't have any evidence this is a big problem, I'll just drop this. MB 00:46, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

You are encouraged to read the open letter before it is sent, and if you support it, consider signing it. It is not a discussion, just a signature will suffice.
- Voting for candidates for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees is open until 6 September.
Causes of redlink hatnotes
I think there are two main causes of these:
1. Sports editors who add
because they think that there should be an article on almost every aspect of anything sports related, but never actually write them.
2. Deleted articles. I have seen new additions to the category after deletions where the Admin ran Twinkle Unlink which removes wikilinks to deleted articles but doesn't do anything with links in hatnotes. There is probably not much we can do to prevent #1, but I have asked at Twinkle, if you have any comments to add there. MB 19:00, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

other uses
OK, Boustan is throwing an error with the first:
I would normally change this to the second, even though the title is not an exact match, it should be obvious. What is "correct"? MB 15:15, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Hatnote templates using unusual parameters has a testcase. Can you prevent that so the category can be empty when all articles are fixed? Thanks. MB 15:20, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- The second is correct, and I'll work on removing the testcases page in a moment. The template will output the category Category:Hatnote templates using unusual parameters if parameter 1 is case-insensitively equal to the page title (strictly, prefixed title) and there are at most 2 parameters. That catches cases that should use {{other uses}} instead of {{other uses of}}, because if the "use" is the title, then it's redundant (even if the disambiguation title is slightly different). I made a mistake normalizing that one to the first version, so I just fixed it to the second. Oh, and for the record, I've been to Boustan, and their food is tasty! :) {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 15:26, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
About/For
Hallo, in this edit you replaced {{About}} with {{For}}, saying "Simplified hatnote syntax"; I always use "About" because it is then easier to expand the hatnote if a second alternative link becomes necessary - "For" is less flexible and can't take a second argument. So I'm not sure that it's an improvement to "simplify" like this. PamD 06:45, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- I believe it to be an improvement and a simplification because using {{about}} with an empty first parameter makes understanding the wikitext require understanding how {{about}} works, whereas using {{for}} or {{for multi}} is more self-explanatory. Those who want to expand hatnotes can simply change {{for}} or {{for multi}} into {{for multi}} or {{about}} with little to no change in parameter syntax (and the ones I'm changing to {{for}} are ones with no change in syntax). Replacing instances of {{about}} with {{for}} or {{for multi}} also accomplishes a maintenance goal of having a slightly more strictly-defined use-case for each hatnote. {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 15:46, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Feedback on proposed talk page design changes
hi @Nihiltres – I wonder: would you be open to having a look at the design changes the Foundation's Editing Team planning to introduce for talk pages and sharing what thoughts/ideas/questions/concerns/etc. they bring to mind?
Here are some links to two prototypes if you end up having the time to look at them:
- Vector (2022): https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/6c2b1c9b3e/w/index.php?title=Talk:New_York&useskin=vector-2022&uselang=en
- Vector: https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/6c2b1c9b3e/w/index.php?title=Talk:New_York&useskin=vector&uselang=en
And for some added context:
- The changes you see in the links above are intended to make it easier for: 1) people who are new to recognize and use talk pages as places to communicate with other volunteers and 2) people who are more experienced to understand the activity happening on a given talk page. More context.
- I'm Peter. I work as the product manager for the Editing Team. I'm reaching to you in response to @Pelagic making – what I thought was, – the wise suggestion of reaching out to interface admins for feedback considering the unique perspective and expertise they've developed on how pages are laid out and presented to people.
PPelberg (WMF) (talk) 00:00, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Nihiltres,
I saw you decline the speedy deletion tag on this User page. That's interesting to me because this year there have been massive deletions of User pages that had, what I consider, little biographical content. We're talking about thousands of old User pages deleted. Recently, I've seen User pages tagged for deletion that just contained the name of the editor and where they lived. Somehow this was considered "promotional"!
Maybe one day there should be a longer discussion on what a User page should be allowed to contain before it's considered a "webhost", a discussion involving both members of the New Page Patrol along with admins who regularly check out the Speedy Deletion categories. I think most of them would have deleted that User page without a second thought. Any way, I hope you have a good weekend! Liz Read! Talk! 22:40, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- U5 is … an interesting criterion. I take the position that some user page self-description is reasonable content that we'd expect for a user page, rather than being "not closely related to Wikipedia's goals" as in the U5 wording. A strict reading of U5 risks biting newbies by making their "few or no edits" something that will get their user page deleted (discouraging them from editing further!) when the content is otherwise what we'd expect a user page to contain. If we really meant for newbies to not have user pages at all, then we'd just restrict user page creation to autoconfirmed or similar. OldTimerBillySlater's page is a prime example of user pages being relevant because it explains how they have past experience with Wikipedia as an IP editor, which is useful information for anyone encountering them and thus in my view somewhat "related to Wikipedia's goals" enough to justify declining (plus maybe they get some credit on the "few or no edits" front, but I hope that that is not relevant).
- I'd definitely agree with a review of this criterion—certainly I think others apply it too liberally, especially with regards to its bitey potential. Perhaps I'm just being persnickety about the speedy criteria, but if the alternative is being bitey, it's probably worth it.
- Please have a lovely weekend yourself. :) {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 23:50, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Contesting Speedy Deletion: Raffiey Nasir
Dear Nihiltres,
You have nominated a page created by me for speedy deletion. The page was in order, with references to almost all of the biography info in it - the ones that matter, at least. May I ask why you nominated it for speedy deletion? I see the reason you have given was "unambiguous advertising or promotion". Can you please elaborate on that?
Kind regards, ResearchedEditor100 ResearchedEditor100 (talk) 21:22, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- I did not nominate it for deletion; I carried out the deletion. As the deletion log shows, I deleted it under speedy deletion criterion G11, which qualifies unambiguous advertising or promotion for deletion. I agreed with Edwardx's nomination of the article on those grounds; that's about it. I'm satisfied that the deletion was in order, but if you feel otherwise, please feel free to bring the issue to deletion review. {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 23:30, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- Alternatively, you could have another attempt as Draft:Raffiey Nasir, and then submit it for consideration at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Edwardx (talk) 00:32, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

- Alternatively, you could have another attempt as Draft:Raffiey Nasir, and then submit it for consideration at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Edwardx (talk) 00:32, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Raffiey Nasir. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. ResearchedEditor100 (talk) 14:03, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
deleting redirects from draftspace
- 17:02, 25 September 2022 Nihiltres talk contribs deleted page Draft:The Upstairs Downstairs Bears (G6: redirect from draftspace)
Why did you delete this redirect? I understand that consensus was that trailing redirects from draftspace to mainspace should not be deleted. They provide important pointers for people looking for the draft. The redirect discourages forking by someone starting the draft again. Can you please undelete the redirect? -- SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:52, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- It was moved to draft essentially at Mondernponderer's request at DRV, was there for barely five hours before being moving back to mainspace, and then the redirect was tagged for deletion by Modernponderer. Nobody else is going to be "looking for the draft" there. It was, at the very worst, a mislabeled G7. —Cryptic 14:16, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- User:Cryptic, I am happy to call it a "mislabelled G7", but would like User:Nihiltres to know that "G6: redirect from draftspace" is not a proper deletion rationale. Draftspace to mainspace redirects are often helpful to various people, especially authors and their offline bookmarks and memories. Even if this is a trivial case, it should not be routine to delete them. SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:40, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Why did you delete this draft? It was a redirect to The Upstairs Downstairs Bears after the draft was moved to article space. Redirects from draft space to article space are kept, except under unusual circumstances. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:59, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- I missed that draft-to-mainspace redirects are typically kept, so I've made a few such G6 deletions in error, but won't be making any more. I'll undelete this example. {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 14:59, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Interface administrator changes
|
- Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
- Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
- Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.
- The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out. If you wish to help out at AFC, enable AFCH by navigating to Preferences → Gadgets and checking the "Yet Another AfC Helper Script" box.
- Remedy 8.1 of the Muhammad images case will be rescinded 1 November following a motion.
- A modification to the deletion RfC remedy in the Conduct in deletion-related editing case has been made to reaffirm the independence of the RfC and allow the moderators to split the RfC in two.
- The second phase of the 2021-22 Discretionary Sanctions Review closes 3 October.
- An administrator's account was recently compromised. Administrators are encouraged to check that their passwords are secure, and reminded that ArbCom reserves the right to not restore adminship in cases of poor account security. You can also use two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an extra level of security.
- Self-nominations for the electoral commission for the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections open 2 October and close 8 October.
- You are invited to comment on candidates in the 2022 CUOS appointments process.
- An RfC is open to discuss whether to make Vector 2022 the default skin on desktop.
- Tech tip: You can do a fuzzy search of all deleted page titles at Special:Undelete.

Request for Assistance
Hello, I have been noticing disruptive edits to a page I maintain from the same user. This page is Jin Boyang. I have reverted their edits before, and I am not sure they are following the editing protocol properly. I have put my concerns on their talk page, as well as the talk page of the article I mentioned, I hope you can read them.
Could you provide me with any assistance? I saw conduct disputes can be resolved by admins online if we wish to "skip all the drama" which is how I got to your page. Editor120918756 (talk) 04:34, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- Horse Eye's Back has gotten back to you on the talk page. While they could be significantly friendlier, they are technically right to demand reliable sources for your edits, including removing unsourced content; the biographies of living persons policy is clear. Administrator intervention doesn't seem necessary at this time; please continue to engage with them on the talk page for now. Should either you or they escalate the conflict in some way, please feel free to ping me there. {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 16:13, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Redhat observation
Just passing this along. I have emptied most of the end of the alphabet (letter starting after R). I often is click on the link to go to the creation page which tells me whether the article had been deleted. If not, I usually search for the term to see if it covered somewhere and should maybe redirect there. Now that I am able to watch for some newly added articles in the cat, I can see that sometimes a working link is just changed to a redlink and the fix is to revert. Right now, I can only notice this in S-Z. I'm probably deleting "old" corrupted hatnotes because it would take forever to search the edit history to see if the hatnote ever "worked". The point of this is just to say this is turning out to be quite useful and will be more so when the cat is eventually empty.
One specific request concerns Three Sisters (Oregon) and The Vanishing Race which both have hatnotes that link to Files. Can you figure out some way to get them out of the category? Though unusual, they seem to be useful hatnotes. I guess I could change them to use {{hatnote}} unless you recommend something else. MB 00:45, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Page move redhats
This redhat occurred after Alison White was moved to Alison White (cricketer). The mover should have noticed and fixed this, but this is not the first one I have seen and there are still almost 8K in Category:Articles with hatnote templates targeting a nonexistent page. If your redhat check looked for things with double disambiguation and put them in a separate subcat - I could probably fix them in bulk with a AWB run. Just an idea to consider.

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}}

- Consensus has been found in an RfC to automatically place RfAs on hold after one week.
- The article creation at scale RfC has been closed.
- An RfC on the banners for the December 2022 fundraising campaign has been closed.
- A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget. (T319449)
- Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 12, 2022 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.
- The proposed decision for the 2021-22 review of the discretionary sanctions system is open.
- The arbitration case Reversal and reinstatement of Athaenara's block has been closed.
- The arbitration case Stephen has been opened and the proposed decision is expected 1 December 2022.
- A motion has modified the procedures for contacting an admin facing Level 2 desysop.
- Tech tip: A single IPv6 connection usually has access to a "subnet" of 18 quintillion IPs. Add
/64
to the end of an IP in Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.

- Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.

- Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.
- The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.
- Following a community referendum, the arbitration policy has been modified to remove the ability for users to appeal remedies to Jimbo Wales.

Orphaned non-free image File:Blacksunrising.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Blacksunrising.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:04, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

- Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
- A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that
[s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment
.
- Special:Contributions now shows the user's local edit count and the account's creation date. (T324166)
- The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming
local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus
. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged tonote when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful
.
- Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.
