Hello, musical Maestro. I've installed [[User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/UserTalkCleaner.js]] in the hope of being able to painlessly remove mass messages from my page, but it turns out I don't understand how to use it. There are no instructions. How is it supposed to make messages disappear, please? [[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]] | [[User talk:Bishonen|tålk]] 21:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC). |

:Hi [[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]]! Long time no chat. :) I made a [[User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/UserTalkCleaner|documentation page]] for the gadget - let me know if that answers your question.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/05|Translations]] are available. |

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''. |
|||
'''Recent changes''' |
|||
* Starting Monday January 29, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they are looking for, even if this comment was moved elsewhere. This will affect all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. You can read more about this change [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/01/29/talk-page-permalinks-dont-lose-your-threads/ on Diff] or [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools#Talk_pages_permalinking|on Mediawiki.org]].<!-- The Diff post will be published on Monday morning UTC--> [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302011] |
|||
* There are some improvements to the CAPTCHA to make it harder for spam bots and scripts to bypass it. If you have feedback on this change, please comment on [[phab:T141490|the task]]. Staff are monitoring metrics related to the CAPTCHA, as well as secondary metrics such as account creations and edit counts. |
|||
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate. |

'''Changes later this week''' |
|||
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.42/wmf.16|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2024-01-30|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2024-01-31|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2024-02-01|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.42/Roadmap|calendar]]). [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train][https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar] |
|||
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Wishlist item]] On February 1, a link will be added to the "Tools" menu to download a [[w:en:QR code|QR code]] that links to the page you are viewing. There will also be a new [[{{#special:QrCode}}]] page to create QR codes for any Wikimedia URL. This addresses the [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Mobile and apps/Add ability to share QR code for a page in any Wikimedia project|#19 most-voted wish]] from the [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Results|2023 Community Wishlist Survey]].

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete.

Draftify and talk pages
[edit]Hi, Stradivarius! Once again, many thanks for Draftify; 9+ years, how time flies. For a while, the AfC submission wizard (docs) has supported WikiProject banners on the talk page of a draft. Could Draftify be updated to include the talk page of a user draft when moving it so we don't have to manually follow up? Best, Sam Sailor 06:12, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
