DeltaQuadBot requesting manual review

Hi, Amanda. Occasionally, DeltaQuadBot requests manual review of a possible F5 deletion (example). Could you also make it remove the tag once the deletion has occurred (example)?

I appreciate that the current state of affairs may be because it needs an administrator to really confirm that they've reviewed it, but I think that when a deletion has occurred (and there isn't any action on the file apart from that), that can be taken as a review. Thanks, Sdrqaz (talk) 04:31, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sdrqaz: I think I understand what you are saying, but can you spell out the example of what it would do? -- Amanda (she/her) 05:51, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. A rough desired timeline would be: non-free revision is orphaned – the bot adds |human=yes to {{Orphaned non-free revisions}} – an administrator deletes the orphaned revision – the bot removes {{Orphaned non-free revisions}} after some time has passed. Currently the last step needs to be performed by a human. Sdrqaz (talk) 07:50, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:AmandaNP/unblock table

For block info, would it be advisable to change the length from "infinity" to "indefinite"? Users are blocked indefinitely, and not infinitely. I feel like that would help support WP:Indefinite is not infinite. Thanks, Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 16:10, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Last I checked, that's what came out of the API. If I find myself wandering that direction, i'll add the QOL change, but that is once i'm going that direction. -- Amanda (she/her) 05:53, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

RfC about Pope Leo XIV

Hi there. I wanted to ask an admin a quick question to make sure I'm not going too crazy and I picked you! Currently I am organising an RfC about whether or not to use DMY or MDY on the new pope's Wikipedia page. One of the main arguments for using MDY is MOS:DATERET, which states the following:

If an article has evolved using predominantly one date format, this format should be used throughout the article, unless there are reasons for changing it based on the topic's strong ties to a particular English-speaking country, or consensus on the article's talk page.

However, considering that DATERET can be overridden by a consensus, I have argued that it should not be considered a reasonable argument in the RfC. This is because the RfC itself is where the consensus is formed, so it is circular thinking to use it as an argument for keeping the page as MDY.

Do you agree with me that these arguments should not be included in the consensus, as they unfairly preference MDY? I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for your time. JacobTheRox (talk) 13:55, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2025-20

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

  • The "Get shortened URL" link on the sidebar now includes a QR code. Wikimedia site users can now use it by scanning or downloading it to quickly share and access shared content from Wikimedia sites, conveniently.

Updates for editors

  • The Wikimedia Foundation is working on a system called Edge Uniques, which will enable A/B testing, help protect against distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is to help more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. Tech News has previously written about this. The deployment will be gradual. Some might see the Edge Uniques cookie the week of 19 May. You can discuss this on the talk page.
  • Starting May 19, 2025, Event organisers in wikis with the CampaignEvents extension enabled can use Event Registration in the project namespace (e.g., Wikipedia namespace, Wikidata namespace). With this change, communities don't need admins to use the feature. However, wikis that don't want this change can remove and add the permitted namespaces at Special:CommunityConfiguration/CampaignEvents.
  • The Wikipedia project now has a Wikipedia in Nupe (w:nup:). This is a language primarily spoken in the North Central region of Nigeria. Speakers of this language are invited to contribute to new Wikipedia.
  • Recurrent item View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Developers can now access pre-parsed Dutch Wikipedia, amongst others (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese) through the Structured Contents snapshots (beta). The content includes parsed Wikipedia abstracts, descriptions, main images, infoboxes, article sections, and references.
  • The /page/data-parsoid REST API endpoint is no longer in use and will be deprecated. It is scheduled to be turned off on June 7, 2025.
  • Recurrent item Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

  • The IPv6 support is a newly introduced Cloud virtual network that significantly boosts Wikimedia platforms' scalability, security, and readiness for the future. If you are a technical contributor eager to learn more, check out this blog post for an in-depth look at the journey to IPv6.
