Bahnstrecke Luino–MailandEdit
Hallo Kollege, bitte die Headline ändern weil sie falsch ist, da Bahnstrecke kein Bayerisch ist. Danke und Pfiade -- Drahdiwaberling (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:40, 4 August 2019 (UTC).
- Sorry, I don't speak German. I don't know why you're asking me about this – my bot only does routine BSicon maintenance on the German Wikipedia. — JJMC89 19:44, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
MultiLockEdit
The behaviour of MultiLock seems strange to me. Could you take a look at Template:MultiLock/testcases please? Cabayi (talk) 22:14, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
MoreMenuEdit
Hello JJMC89! I see that you are a user of MoreMenu. There is a new version that was just released. It works in all skins and allows you to add custom links. Would you be interested in helping test it? If so, please refer to MoreMenu/beta#Installation. Or, if you'd like, I can edit your global.js and global.css for you :) Kind regards, — MusikAnimal talk 02:28, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Template:BS-KRZEdit
Hello JJMC89! One of your bots has recently made a change to this template on ro.wiki. The template didn't work as it should even before changing, but now it looks worse. Do you have any idea why? I am trying to import the route diagram templates on Romanian Wikipedia but I sometimes encounter such errors and I have no clue how to solve them. Any help or suggestion would be welcome. Thank you in advance! --Nenea hartia (talk) 20:55, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- Jc86035, would you talk a look at this? — JJMC89 21:28, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Nenea hartia: The template not working shouldn't be related to the bot's changes. The reason the template documentation doesn't work is that rowiki's Template:BS doesn't have the
|O12=parameter, which only some versions of the template have. A lot of wikis suffer from this issue, and the BS-series templates (BS, BS2, BS3, etc.) are generally inconsistent across wikis. - You don't need to import every template (particularly the little-used ones like BS-KRZ). Strictly speaking, Module:Routemap, Template:Routemap and Template:Routemap/styles.css are the only necessary pages for constructing diagrams, although rowiki already had some of the BS-series templates before you started importing templates so I'm not sure what would be best here.
- All of rowiki's diagrams appear to use the BS-table and BS-series templates, but there aren't a lot of them. It would be possible to convert them all to the Routemap format (probably by using the convertbs function in Module:Routemap), or alternatively you could update all of the BS-series templates using the versions on the English Wikipedia. Jc86035 (talk) 13:19, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Jc86035: Thank you very much for your explanation! I already imported Module:Routemap, Template:Routemap and Template:Routemap/styles.css and then I randomly picked some Routemap diagrams from enwiki and I tried to see if they work on my sandbox page. They did, except for those having collapsible sections. As you can see here or here the template itself doesn't display correctly the collapsible sections. Same problem with the older Template:BS-map. If you remove the line containing
BS2-startCollapsible, the rest of that diagram will be correctly displayed. @JJMC89: I apologize for continuing this topic on your page. --Nenea hartia (talk) 17:03, 15 February 2020 (UTC)- @Nenea hartia: This is because the Extinde/Restrânge button is wider in Romanian. I'll see if I can fix that. Jc86035 (talk) 17:19, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Another issue is that the
.wikitableCSS is a bit different on rowiki; since it affects nested tables, the Routemap styling will break. I don't think this should affect most diagrams, though, so I'm not sure if anything needs to be done about it. Jc86035 (talk) 17:44, 15 February 2020 (UTC)- @Jc86035: I've noticed you edits, the template looks great now, thank you! Do you have any idea what is wrong with that diagram of Template:BS-map? --Nenea hartia (talk) 17:55, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Nenea hartia: It seems to be mainly because of the difference between the rowiki and enwiki versions of Template:BS-overlap. The enwiki version handles six layers, but the rowiki version only handles two, and so
|3=is treated differently in the two templates. (Routemap, for what it's worth, does not have such a limit for overlaying icons.) I don't know if it's worth fixing, considering that this doesn't affect any of the diagrams that are actually in rowiki articles. Jc86035 (talk) 18:13, 15 February 2020 (UTC)- @Jc86035: Thank you again for your time and assistance! If I ever need help can I contact you again? Not too often, I hope.
- @JJMC89: thank you! --Nenea hartia (talk) 18:29, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Nenea hartia: No problem. You're welcome to contact me if you do need help again. Jc86035 (talk) 18:35, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Tech News: 2020-10Edit
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- Readers who were not logged in briefly saw the interface in a language decided by their browser. It should normally be in the language of the wiki. This happened for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug. [1]
Changes later this week
- If you forget your password you can ask for a new one to be sent to your email address. You need to know your email address or your username. You will now be able to choose that you need to enter both your email address and your username. This will be a preference. This is to get fewer password reset emails someone else asked for. [2]
- When you asked for a new password you could see if the username didn't exist on Special:PasswordReset. Now the page will show the username you entered and tell you an email has been sent if the username exists. This is for better security. [3]
- On Special:WhatLinksHere you can see what other pages link to a page. You can see if the link is from a redirect. You can now see which section the redirect links to. [4]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 March. It will be on all wikis from 5 March (calendar).
Future changes
- The developers are working on a new interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. You can give feedback. [5]
- There is a vote on the creation of a new user group called abuse filter manager. The vote runs from March 1 to March 31 on Meta.
wgMFSpecialCaseMainPagewas used for the mobile site. It was deprecated in 2017. It will stop working in April. Wikis should see if they use it. If they do they should fix it. You can read more and ask for help. This affects 183 wikis. There is a list. [6]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- Some development will be slower than planned. This is because of the current pandemic. You can see the new deployment guidelines. This is to avoid risks when some persons could be unavailable.
