She may react sensitively or with visible frustration in conflicts, or be overall very quiet and not as active as usual and may respond to messages at a slower pace. She will likely return to her regular work on Wikipedia soon, but in the meantime, your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated. |
{{subst:currentuser}} has given you a McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwich! Filet-O-Fish sandwiches are very popular during Lent and promote WikiLove. Hopefully, this one has added flavor to your day! Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a Filet-O-Fish sandwich, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.
Spread the fishy, gooey goodness of Filet-O-Fish sandwiches by adding {{subst:Filet-O-Fish}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message!

CFD closure edit
Hello, I'm on my phone right now so I can't cut and paste links but I was looking at a CFD discussion you closed yesterday about an Anti-mainlander Hong Kong" category. You closed it as Merge but several target categories were mentioned and it wasn't clear what you wanted this category to be Merged to. Liz Read! Talk! 00:48, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Will respond @ Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion/Working#NAC requests 22–30 April 2024, where this was already asked. Queen of ♡ | speak 19:59, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

CfD closure edit
Happy birthday indeed! Could you please reconsider your closure of Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_April_16#Category:Anti-Zionist_Christians and Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_April_16#Category:Christian_anti-Zionism? I think the opposing argument has sufficiently been refuted. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:23, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Marcocapelle. I don't have much time to look because of the birthday thing, so I'll revert my closes and allow someone else to evaluate it. Queen of ♡ | speak 19:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Tech News: 2024-18 edit
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
.jpg)
- The appearance of talk pages changed for the following wikis: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia, Thai Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Vietnamese Wikipedia. These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design, for one year. As this test gave positive results, the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at all wikis in the coming weeks. [1]
- Seven new wikis have been created:
- You can now watch message groups/projects on Translatewiki.net. Initially, this feature will notify you of added or deleted messages in these groups. [9]
- Dark mode is now available on all wikis, on mobile web for logged-in users who opt into the advanced mode. This is the early release of the feature. Technical editors are invited to check for accessibility issues on wikis. See more detailed guidelines.
Problems
- Kartographer maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using
mapstyle="osm". This wasn't working in previews, creating the wrong impression that it wasn't supported. This has now been fixed. [10]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 May. It will be on all wikis from 2 May (calendar). [11][12]

Tell me your secrets edit
What kind of dark magic do you use to rotate the color on your signature? Levivich (talk) 20:13, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Top secret, @Levivich. But if you promise not to tell the signature police, it substitutes a user subpage which has a {{random item}} with eight colors (red, black, blue, yellow, purple, brown, and pink). Cheers, Queen of ♡ | speak 20:36, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
