SPI request
Hey there, a SPI is open on Srabanta Deb and a user pointed me as a potential sockpuppet and I know I am all clear. But I would like to get this out my head so would you like to review the request and then a checkuser could be performed. This request has been open for many days. Thanks in advance Harvici (talk) 07:34, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- I had wanted to close it without further action before because I don't believe you are a sockpuppet, but looks like Spicy beat me to it. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 16:16, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your effort. I have a question about why an editor's IP address will not be checked upon their request to prove innocence against a sockpuppet allegation, as some other WikiMedia projects do not have such policies. Harvici (talk) 05:05, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Harvici, sorry for the slightly late reply. This is indeed a policy specific to English Wikipedia. See WP:CHECKME. The reason is that even if a CheckUser went a take a look, it is not 100% proof that someone is truly innocent. And there are privacy reasons for why we'd want to avoid unnecessary checks. So we only check people that we believe there is reasonable suspicion about two accounts being the same user. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 13:29, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Ewan McGregor
I really think Ewan McGregor should have his page protected because he is way too famous, so people could make false edits or vandalize the page! Jaxbarina (talk) 04:26, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Question about a bot
User:EnterpriseyBot is supposed to update the User:EnterpriseyBot/defcon template but hasn't made an edit for quite some time now. I see you along with @Legoktm are listed as maintainers for this tool, could one of you investigate since Enterprisey seems to have taken a leave of absence? Thanks! Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:28, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- This appears to be the relevant tool account but there is also a rust version that may be the relevant tool. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- I deleted the job and created the job again. It should be running now. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 04:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-15
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
- Web browsers can use tools called extensions. There is now a Chrome extension called Citation Needed which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
A new Edit Recovery feature has been added to all wikis, available as a user preference. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the project talk page. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.- Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [4][5]
- Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [6]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (calendar). [7][8]
- New accounts and logged-out users will get the visual editor as their default editor on mobile. This deployment is made at all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. [9]

Tech News: 2024-16
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [10][11]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [12][13]
- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [14]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_agewill be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [15]
Future changes
- Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filterandabuse_filter_historytables. Some queries might need to be updated. [16]

Recent changes
- Starting this week, newcomers editing Wikipedia will be encouraged to try structured tasks. Structured tasks have been shown to improve newcomer activation and retention. [17]
- You can nominate your favorite tools for the fifth edition of the Coolest Tool Award. Nominations will be open until May 10.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 April. It will be on all wikis from 25 April (calendar). [18][19]
Future changes
- This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of Special:MyPage/vector.js to Special:MyPage/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [20]
