Dragon Dollar of Vietnam
Can you help me to find some articles about the dragon dollars of Vietnam (Minh Mạng Thông Bảo, 明命通寶)?--Baomi (talk) 01:13, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
Like this coin:http://www.cnm.com.cn/zgqbbwg/132484/138112/index.html --Baomi (talk) 01:17, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Baomi:, e-mail me as I am friends with one of the leading authors in that field and he sent me some chapters dedicated to Minh Mạng Thông Bảo (明命通寶) coins, interestingly enough the majority of the "coins" that look like that despite the "Thông Bảo" (通寶) inscriptions are actually medals, also there are silver cash coins (French: Sapèques) with that inscription which are known as Sapèques d'Honeur. I could send you a couple of .pdf's about them from published books by Howard A. Daniel III if you're interested. I'll look for more information online later as well, though the majority of it tends to be in Vietnamese or French so I'm not sure how well you could work with it, but I'll prioritise English for you. --Donald Trung (talk) 07:00, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
- This is my e-mail address, userbaomi@foxmail.com, Plz send it to me, Thank you. Vietnamese or French documents are difficult for me to understand, but Maybe I can read them with Google Translate--Baomi (talk) 07:24, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Baomi:
E-mails sent. --15:07, 4 December 2018 (UTC) Donald Trung (talk) 15:08, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

- Would also be interested in information about Dragon Dollars issued by later rulers? As these were made until 1945. --Donald Trung (talk) 07:01, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
I was originally planning on writing about more individual Vietnamese cash coins such as the 明命通寶, but due to time constraints it never came that far, plus I'm de facto retired from Wikipedia as I have way too much to import to Wikimedia Commons and I'm basically done with all non-Vietnamese numismatic subjects as of today as I planned to "finish" with the gold coinage of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I will however be fixing the list of Vietnamese cash coins by inscription before fully retiring, though. --Donald Trung (talk) 15:11, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

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 11 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 December. It will be on all wikis from 13 December (calendar).
Meetings
-
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- New accounts will need passwords that are at least 8 characters long. Admins, interface admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, CentralNotice admins, global renamers, check users, stewards and some other user groups will need passwords that are at least 10 characters long. This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [1][2]
- When you hover over a footnote it will show you the reference as a pop-up. This is so you don't have to jump down to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will happen in 2019. Some wikis already have gadgets that do this. You will be able to turn it off. [3]

Vietnam dragon dollar
in the journal you sent to me, I just found an article about Korean Dragon Dollar, but not Vietnamese--Baomi (talk) 02:41, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Baomi:, I'll look for more information later as I'm quite busy in real life and don't have as much free time as I'd want to but I'll investigate soon. Also concerning these edits please apply them to the article "Qing dynasty coinage" as that draft has launched and is only preserved for attribution (copyright). --Donald Trung (talk) 07:27, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
- it's not urgent. Thank you for the help.--Baomi (talk) 07:51, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
When I'll find the time I'll leave a note at your talk page... --Donald Trung (talk) 07:26, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
DYK for Chengjia
On 15 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chengjia, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Gongsun Shu proclaimed himself emperor of Chengjia and issued his own iron coins (example pictured), in defiance of the Han dynasty? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chengjia. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Chengjia), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Tech News
- Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.
Recent changes
- Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [4][5]
- Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [6]
- The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.
Problems
<ref>tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example<ref name="adams" group="books">. If a<ref>tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [7]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 19 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The Wikimedia Foundation Android app team are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can read more about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
-
tiles.wmflabs.organdwma.wmflabs.orgwill stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes the mapnik gadget, hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going. [8]
