Disambiguation link notification for February 28
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Zhao Jheng-yu, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Taiwanese and Taoyuan. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Recent changes
- Thanks to the Graph extension and Pageview API, we now have {{Graph:PageViews}} templates that can show pageviews for any wiki page for any of the wikis. See the examples.
- The Capiunto extension is installed on test wiki. Capiunto provides flexible infobox functionality for Scribunto and generates HTML for infobox features such as headers and rows. It is designed for clean and modern infoboxes that are driven by data from Wikidata, easily usable across different language versions, and easily extensible.
- The visual editor now follows the TemplateData
format
setting announced in November. When you edit or add a use of a template, the wikitext will be laid out in one of the two ways. [1][2] - The order of parameters and format defined in a template's TemplateData will be now respected. [3][4]
Changes this week
- On wikis where the visual editor is available in single edit tab mode, red links may open the visual editor instead of the wikitext editor, depending on user preferences. [5]
- Anonymous editor warning is now displayed as a warningbox for consistency in both the visual editor and the wikitext editor. [6]
- Parsoid has been updated to fit some HTML 5 specifications. [7]
Meetings
- Resigning executive director Lila Tretikov is taking questions at Knowledge Engine FAQ regarding the much talked about project. [8]
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

The article Tan Kee Kwong has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. IagoQnsi (talk) 04:26, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Recent changes
- Files on Wikimedia Commons can now be 2 GB big. The old limit was 1 GB. [9]
- Welcome notifications now have a different symbol. English Wikipedia already had this one. [10]
- The Wikimedia memory cache servers in the Eqiad cluster have now been upgraded to Debian 8 (Jessie). Some users might have had to log in again because of this. [11]
- It is now easier to categorize images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in the Commons Android app. [12]
- Bare attributes in tags now parse according to the HTML5 specifications.
<pages from= to= section=1>
will parse as<pages from="to=" section="1">
instead of<pages from="" to="" section="1">
as it used to. Please use<pages from="" to="" section=1>
or<pages section=1>
instead. This is mostly likely to affect pages on Wikisource projects. [13]
Problems
- Phabricator has been a bit unstable lately. This should be fixed now. [14]
- The PageView API shows wrong data between 23 February and 29 February for pages with special characters in their title. [15]
- The parsing change mentioned above caused a large number of pages to break, especially on Wikisource. [16]
- You may see falsely formatted edit links on both mobile and desktop devices. Mobile devices can also show incorrect formatted table of contents. This should be fixed soon. [17]
- Templates using TemplateData that were edited with the visual editor might have some problems in wikitext mode. This can be fixed by editing and saving the page by using the visual editor without making any changes. [18]
Changes this week
- Cross-wiki notifications will be enabled as a beta feature on all wikis on 10 March. You will be able to get notifications when something happens on another Wikimedia wiki. [19]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 March. It will be on all wikis from 10 March (calendar).
- Wikivoyages will get the Kartographer extension. Kartographer will allow
<mapframe>
and<maplink>
tags in an article to insert an interactive map and overlay it with different markers. You can add ideas and suggestions to the Maps talk page. If you find any bugs, you can report them in Phabricator. [20]
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 8 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones. [21]
- The Wikimedia technical operations team plans to do some server work on 22 March. This could cause some problems, for example make it possible to read but not edit the Wikimedia wikis for a short period of time. The date for this might change. [22]

Reverted edit
editI do not see a reason for reverting https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DLS%20format&diff=710625574 - there are weak words ("some people") being used without giving a citation, so it is very much in Wikipedia's interest to highlight this and research who those people are.

File source problem with File:Platfom petit desalin p.jpg
editThank you for uploading File:Platfom petit desalin p.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 12:41, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Qed237 (talk) 01:13, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I don't know what you think on this, but do you think that "but is reduced to just under 80,000" is better worded compared to "but will be reduced to under 80,000"? No, this is not a rhetorical question, just want your opinion on this. I am not exactly sure what edit you reverted mine, I don't actually see it, but I am assuming this wording one is the one you reverted. Ueutyi (talk) 01:30, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
I should have been explaining better, but it almost seemed like you edits were test. Let me explain
- In this edit you insterted an incorrect wikilink. The article is at Real Madrid C.F (not "Real Madrid") so instead of [[Real Madrid]] it should have been [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]], which was corrected by The Replicator.
- The same here but in this edit you changed the position of the flag for some unknown reason. This was corrected in the same correction edit in the previous error.
- Then you made a new wrong link to the wrong year, but you corrected it yourself so I put that as a simple mistake.
- The edit you talk about here that was being reverted is because it will not be reduced only in this final it is reduced already in all European competitions.
In total, I could find issues in all your edits and one being an obvious mistake, which in the end led me to giving you a test edit message. I probably should have explained better, but it is good that you asked. Qed237 (talk) 10:21, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

- Hi,
- Welcome to Wikipedia,
- Thanks for reaching out to me. Although Wikipedia covers a wide range of topics, not every article is accepted due to notability reasons. According to Notability guideline for companies and organizations, your company does not meet this standard. If your company, in the future, meets this standard, it is likely that someone else will create a page for your company. A page created by you (a person closely associated with the company) would likely violate neutral point of view policy and would likely result in a deletion.

Chemical Industry - consumer products edit may 26
editHi, Im Marcpanu and an edit that you recently undid is incorrect. You stated that the American Chemistry council produces their top 100 chemicals list every year, however, they no longer produce this list. Saying that it does is very misleading and can lead researching to hours long journey searching for a list that does not exist. Unless you have proof of this list still existing, please revert this change Marcpanu (talk) 01:08, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I am no knowledge in this field, I reverted on the basis that you did not provide a source to substantiate your edit.
- You are welcome to resubmit that entry if you provide a reliable source.
- Happy Editing.

editYou reverted an addition of a citation in place of a citation needed tag. This was unhelpful — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:6005:2800:A98A:30E1:F69B:E233 (talk) 09:31, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
- Your entry--"Ian Nairn, Nairn's London, 1966"--provides no additional information whatsoever, and it is unclear whether this citation really proves what was said in front of that citation, so citation needed tag for now. Ueutyi (talk) 09:35, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
- Ok now it's better. Ueutyi (talk) 09:36, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
