- Arigato :) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 09:17, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed this article on the old AFC queue and decided that it met the essential passing criterion of being notable, encyclopedia worthy and unlikely to be nominated for deletion. I therefore improved the content and referencing and hope that this now meets AFC requirements. Shyamal (talk) 03:32, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Shyamal, thanks for the improvement. Kindly submit the draft again for review and wait. The AfC backlog is a few weeks (2+ months) and it won't be fair if I go out of the way and review it. Someone will review it or if it comes in my random entry, I will review it too. Furthermore, you can move it to mainspace yourself with ease if you think it's worthy. Thanks and happy editing.

Tech News: 2024-17
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
- Starting this week, newcomers editing Wikipedia will be encouraged to try structured tasks. Structured tasks have been shown to improve newcomer activation and retention. [1]
- 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). [2][3]
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. [4]
