Spider bourgeois

now that the "free" images used to knock out the fair use image are deleted, you can find the fair use one here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload?wpDestFile=Spider_bourgeois.JPG - cheers. Slowking4 (talk) 15:39, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

@Slowking4: I don't see anything at that link, so not sure what action is needed here. -Another Believer (talk) 21:27, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

sorry, i thought you were an admin, who could retrieve the deleted image. a flickr search yields https://www.flickr.com/photos/mbell1975/19234194418 which would work for a fair use upload at english, or i could go photo again. Slowking4 (talk) 02:10, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

@Slowking4: Ah, makes sense. Yes, would be great if the article could be illustrated. Thanks for your help. -Another Believer (talk) 02:26, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

sculptures by Tony Smith

see also w:List_of_sculptures_by_Tony_Smith. i just write the articles, i don't argue with people with idiosyncratic naming views, especially when they are giving out t-shirts. (which i still have from seven years ago) i do not agree with the "(sculpture)" naming either, i prefer names with a reference. the work versus edition debate is not settled on wikidata. feel free to cleanup the nomenclature of public art. an example of an article with an edition section is here w:The_Burghers_of_Calais cheers Slowking4 (talk) 01:22, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Tech News: 2020-43

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

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 October. It will be on all wikis from 22 October (calendar).

Future changes

• You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on 27 October around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [141]
• In the AbuseFilter extension, the rmspecials() function will be updated soon so that it does not remove the "space" character. Wikis are advised to wrap all the uses of rmspecials() with rmwhitespace() wherever necessary to keep filters' behavior unchanged. You can use the search function on Special:AbuseFilter to locate its usage. [142]
• Some gadgets and user-scripts use the HTML div with the ID #jump-to-nav. This div will be removed soon. Maintainers should replace these uses with either #siteSub or #mw-content-text. A list of affected scripts is at the top of phab:T265373.

Problems

• You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on October 27 around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [143]
• Last week, links to "diffs" from mobile watchlists and recentchanges were linking to page-revisions instead of diffs. This has now been fixed. [144]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

• Since the introduction of the interface administrators user group in 2018, administrators couldn’t view the deleted history of CSS/JS pages. Now they can. [145]
• There was a problem with the Change Tags. The software would apply the "Reverted" tag to any page actions such as page-protection changes if they came directly after a reverted edit. This has now been fixed for new edits. [146]
• The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias in November. Another announcement will be made once the date is finalized. [147]
