TalkCleaner gadget
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? Bishonen | tålk 21:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC).
- Hi Bishonen! Long time no chat. :) I made a documentation page for the gadget - let me know if that answers your question. Some documentation for this tool was definitely overdue. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 02:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- [Testing on an archive. Check!] It does answer my question. Thank you! Bishonen | tålk 09:29, 24 January 2024 (UTC).
Tech News: 2024-05
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 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 on Diff or on Mediawiki.org. [1]
- 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 the task. Staff are monitoring metrics related to the CAPTCHA, as well as secondary metrics such as account creations and edit counts.
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 January. It will be on all wikis from 1 February (calendar). [2][3]
On February 1, a link will be added to the "Tools" menu to download a 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 #19 most-voted wish from the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [4]
Gadgets which only work in some skins have sometimes used the targetsoption to limit where you can use them. This will stop working this week. You should use theskinsoption instead. [5]
