This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:
- The Editing team will finish adding new features to the Talk pages project and deploy it.
- They are beginning a new project, Edit check.
Talk pages project
The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.
It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Add topic" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.
An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.
New Project: Edit Check
The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publish changes". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.

Server switch message looks for transaltionsEdit
Hello
In the past, you helped with the translation of Tech/Server switch. This message will soon be displayed to the public. We look for translators to update this message and check if everything is okay.
I hope you can help.
Thank you very much in advance, Trizek (WMF) (talk) 14:44, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Trizek (WMF), appreciate you reaching out. I am very happy to help, and if your release date is very close, I have to step back. Momentarily, I am cleaning up the mess a jawp sock has accumulated at VisualEditor/Newsletter/2023/February/ja... I'm fuming! Went to chat, advised to go to WM:RfH, ok, ok.
- My worry is that the nl is needed for 2nd March meeting the team is calling for; the subject, or Talk Page Project has been disfavored by senior editors on VillagePump/ja, and offering them the nl in current form is like throwing a match stick into petrol tank...

- @Trizek (WMF), seriously, pls revert to bot edit reason cross wiki translation vandal. Tech News won't rot as far as we have eagle eyes of Marine-Blue. Cheers, Omotecho (talk) 07:05, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

There's a discussion you previous involved had an updateEdit
こんにちは、 Omotechoさん。
Last month we caught a lot of poor translation from user:とんずらする豚, now there's a comment on ja:Wikipedia:投稿ブロック依頼/とんずらする豚、Bletilla. You are invited to join that discussion. Lemonaka (talk) 17:31, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for the ping, @Lemonaka, but (sigh)…… Is that debate productive or lands anyway but push one User out from our sight only? Japanese culture sometimes runs toward purist mindset, that’s good for cultural assets, but rather slowed down towards people-to-people.
- Why can I not show ways to rehabilitate? Searched for the answer on Meta or Strategy and Behavior kind of pages, ashamed but need to admit I came back empty handed. Just panishment is highlighted everywhere.
- Because old ones won’t change? Are we not terrifying newer users to predict how harsh an accusation could be with no one speaking for the accused?
- The discussion/accusation is not productive AFAIK if I remember:
- I am and dream to be/keep on as a translator, with my own shortcomings on codes. People come and give me both warm and cold hands, mend scars I have left without telling me “I patched the hole you left open, Omotecho.” Or warn me they will report me to admins nas refusing communication.
- Then, I hope to pay forward, and what each of us owe to each other? Nagging your shortsightedness? How can we unbind the blindfold if they are tied to their desire and wish to be a helpful use, but the reality is not catching up. Either if you need to train yourself to reach that esteem, where is the dashboard or self/co-help program? Is the particular case very good to start our voyage into that sphere of ability or resources?
- It is very hard for me to swallow the fact that accusations are not backed with remedy/intuitive logic how a person can fulfill their passion and goal that would be helpful for the extended community.
- Ppl says a user is good at heart, but weak at accepting failure or taking holds to explain/excuse whenever they are bashed. Ppl says “Stop”, and naturally conversing is so hard when you see 1:10 ratio you are defeated. Do we have any speaking lessons on advising your counterpart, recommend and “yield and turn to whatsoever”.
- Hey, which shoes are we in here and there, the target or the hitter? Isn’t it mirroring one day if our wiki-lives down the road? If so, I need a white flag to raise and treated as a surrender, not a prisoner. Otherwise, I envision an ego that needs to feel being part of our Movement will morph to any username, if they hate being an unregistered without pings coming in: Mentions make you find you are live, s/body out there notices that a particular person exists. Rehabilitate, no ban or in this case morph enhancing. Cheers, Omotecho (talk) 03:42, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- I cannot speak more, a lot of people request for banning others, succussed and then got banned themselves. I respect self-governance of Japanese Wikipedia, but it seemed a little strange to me. Lemonaka (talk) 04:04, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Omotecho Yea, as you once predicted, this user was exiled from Japanese Wikipedia. Lemonaka (talk) 07:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
