Replacing Firefly reminder

Before /Archive_16#Replacing_Firefly was archived, you had asked me to send you a reminder. And I was reminded when I saw this today: Request WP:Requests for undeletion § Draft:God is my Co-Pilot (1943 Book) came because it was the second G13 for this draft, and the 1-month warnings go for the first G13 only, not subsequent ones. Jay 06:59, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

Also, in the archived thread, you had asked me for any cases where FireflyBot failed to notify a draft creator. It appears the 1-month G13 warning did not go out for Draft:Sheikhzadas of Lucknow. Jay 15:18, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply. I don't mind adding this, but I'm not sure I like the idea of running a separate task just to catch the notifications FireflyBot misses while FireflyBot still handles the rest. It feels like we'd be splitting one job between two bots. Since my bot already has an approved backup task and FireflyBot has been inactive maintenance wise for quite a while (Firefly last edited 1 year 9 months ago), maybe it makes more sense to look at replacing the whole 30 day task notification instead. FireflyBot's other active task would still need someone to take it over though. Pinging @Primefac for their thoughts. – DreamRimmer ■ 15:52, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

If there are improvements/changes needed for a bot that is still running but not maintained, and a willing botop to take over the task, then I don't see any issue with that. Fortunately FireflyBot has shutoffs for each individual task, so it's not like we need to kill the entire bot just to tweak one task. I could see an extension of DR's bot task to be the main bot rather than the backup (though any improvements would need their own BRFA as an extension operation probably). Primefac (talk) 22:40, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I agree we should not have a bot catch another bot's misses. I just mentioned it because you had asked for examples earlier. For the 2nd and subsequent warnings, if we can have DreamRimmer bot do that, instead of waiting for someone to take up ownership of Firefly, that will significantly reduce the load at WP:RfU. A lot of requests at RfU come minutes or hours after a G13 deletion, just because the editor was not aware that their draft is going to be deleted. Today's case: WP:Requests for undeletion § Draft:Ralph Axelrod (politician). Jay 05:13, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-32

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

Updates for editors

• The Reader Experience team has developed a patch demo that wraps the page toolbar onto two lines when there is not enough horizontal space for all the buttons. This aims to reduce crowding in the Vector 2022 toolbar, which can occur on some language Wikipedias at certain screen widths.
• The Reader Experience team is planning to launch Reading Lists, a Community Wishlist item, which is currently available to try in beta, as a full feature in September. Before then, volunteer translator help is needed for string translations into a number of languages. The feature supports reading and learning goals on Wikipedia.
• Next week, the table of contents on Wikimedia Commons file pages will be improved by consolidating the file page table of contents with the page table of contents. This will make it easier to understand a file page’s structure, navigate to specific sections, and share links to individual sections.
• View all 24 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where some TIFF images failed to load after clicking their thumbnail, causing a broken image to be displayed instead of the full-size image, has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

• The variable and function selector in AbuseFilter has been updated to support search and autocomplete. It will allow filter maintainers to find the desired variable or function more quickly.
• The MJPEG and VP8 formats are removed from the video player. The MP4 format (MPEG-4 Part 2) is added instead, which provides higher quality videos to older iPhone devices. It may take a few weeks to retroactively update all existing videos. The default format for modern devices stays the same (VP9/WebM).
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Bot stopped updating

Hi,

It looks like the August 2026 Unreferenced article backlog drive leaderboard was updating hourly but stopped at 09:15 this morning.

Could you please wake your bot back up...?

(Or should we feed it anything?) Cielquiparle (talk) 19:32, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Fixed. – DreamRimmer ■ 03:38, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Many thanks! Cielquiparle (talk) 03:47, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

My talk page archive button missing

Hey. It's been a long time since we had a chit chat. Hope you are doing well. I don't know what has happened because the archive button from my talk page is missing. This same problem happened few weeks ago. That time I reinstalled or did something after which the one click archiver button again showed up. Few days ago the same problem happened. I thought it would automatically fix. But it's been quite a long time and I need to archive some of the topics in my talk page. Since I personally that know you are one of the most technical knowledgeable person in the site, I thought of directly coming and asking to you. Any guesses what could be the problem? Thilsebatti (talk) 02:58, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm good, it's really nice to hear from you after such a long time. Hope all is well with you too. I checked your common.js and it looks like you have two archiving scripts installed. Please remove the last one and keep Elli's. I've added a config to your talk page, so the archive button should work now. You should see the archive option on the right of each section. Let me know if you have any trouble with it. – DreamRimmer ■ 11:45, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. It's working now. Thilsebatti (talk) 15:50, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Problem with the hashtag

Hello, I would like to remind you about the edit that I made on a wikipedia page. The leaderboard hasn't updated yet.

When I made an edit today, i forgot to put the "#AUG26" hashtag, so i made a dummy edit to include it and mentioned to check the previous edit. The wiki page is "OHSEAN." Cookie cream38 (talk) 06:05, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

I see your point has already been updated on the leaderboard. Is there anything else that needs my attention? – DreamRimmer ■ 11:27, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Help with a mentee question

Hi DreamRimmer! Hope you are doing well. Are you able to reply to a mentee question at User talk:HouseBlaster#Question from Servis.006 (20:43, 9 August 2026)? It looks like Turkish, and you are listed in that section at WP:EMB. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:55, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Nevermind; looks like this mentee got blocked. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:22, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-33

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

Updates for editors

• A new ChartWizard is now available on Wikimedia Commons for users interested in creating charts from their own data. The wizard makes the Chart extension more beginner-friendly by allowing editors to create charts, such as bar and pie charts, without needing to use JSON. Users can still switch to the JSON editor if they prefer. Feedback on the new tool is welcome on the wish talk page.
• View all 19 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the Wikipedia iOS app’s Picture of the Day widget displayed the same image every day instead of updating daily, has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

• Math formula SVG images will soon be generated in the browser instead of on the server. MathML continues to be generated on the server and renders in the browser without JavaScript. Wikibooks will see this change on 12 August, Wikisource on 19 August and Wikipedia from 20-27 August. You can try this by selecting "MathML with SVG image (client side MathJax rendering)" in your preferences. This change is part of deprecating RESTBase and deprecating Mathoid.
• Category pages will soon support sorting entries by the time they are added to a category. This will make it easier to find recently or long-standing categorized pages. It will also improve workflows for maintenance categories such as deletion backlogs and other time-based review tasks. You can use cldsort=timestamp URL argument in category view to sort the entries.
• Gadgets and user scripts on Wikimedia wikis may now use ES2018 features and ES2019 features in JavaScript code. Previously, the platform only allowed up to ES2017. MediaWiki validates the source code to protect functionality from syntax errors and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Tech News: 2026-34

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 Worklist feature for the Event Registration tool is now live on all Wikimedia wikis. With Worklist, event organizers can add the articles their event will focus on directly to the event page. The Worklist also powers Event Pathways which notifies other editors of the upcoming or ongoing event when they edit an article featured in the event's Worklist. This is the minimum viable version (MVP), and feedback is welcome. Organizers are encouraged to try the feature. A hands-on Worklist Setup Workshop will take place on 18 August at 16:00 UTC and 19 August at 11:00 UTC.

Updates for editors

• Special:ShortPages displays short pages by their size, but in many cases it gets filled with disambiguations and soft redirects, making it harder to find the short articles themselves. Starting this weekend, you will be able to choose not to include an article in the special page by adding the magic word __EXPECTSHORTPAGE__.
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Bole (w:bol:)
• Starting the week of August 17, the page toolbar will wrap onto two lines when there is not enough horizontal space for all the buttons. This is a fully merged patch from the Reader Experience team which aims to reduce crowding in the Vector 2022 toolbar, that may occur on some language Wikipedias at certain screen widths.
• View all 16 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, uploading large files to Wikimedia Commons has become more stable and less prone to failure following some fixes related to the “Could not acquire lock” upload error.

Updates for technical contributors

• Debian Bullseye will reach the end of its Long Term Support on 31 August 2026. Some Cloud VPS projects still have instances running Debian Bullseye. Maintainers of those projects are encouraged to migrate to Debian Bookworm or Debian Trixie. A migration guide is available to help with the process, and users may also want to consider whether their workload is better suited to Toolforge. If you need help or cannot complete the migration by 31 August, please contact the Cloud VPS admins as soon as possible. Read more.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Your new username and out-of-the-way wikis

Hey, this is nowhere near as bad as the previous situation and I think things are fine as they are now ... maybe you knew this already, but your new username was previously used by Linsenesser, who mostly previously edited the Esperanto Wikipedia and the Wiktionary in Faroese . So we have eo:User:Max, eo:User:Max/ludejo, eo:User talk:Max, fo:wikt:User talk:Max, nl:wikt:User talk:Max, and br:User:Max, all of which are not you. And there's also at least eo:Special:Contributions/Max, which is you. Just letting you know in case this might cause problems down the line and/or you want to do some redirect changing. Also I moved User:Max~enwiki, which was clearly created in the wrong place. Graham87 (talk) 01:04, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll fix these when I'm on my computer later today. This happens with all usurpations since the usernames were previously used, so it's normal. The last one was a massive mess because I hadn't checked properly that time. Thanks again! Max (talk) 01:11, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Fixed all. Please let me know if there are any left. Max (talk) 03:11, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Organized Labour September Editing Event

You're invited to join the Organized Labour community editing event, a cross-wiki event taking place throughout September 2026!

The campaign brings together Wikimedians interested in improving coverage of organised labour, workers, trade unions, and labour history. We have confirmed collaborations with Wikipedia language editions in English, Dutch, Persian, Serbo-Croatian and French. If you want to add other language editions or other wiki projects you are strongly encouraged to do so! This event spans geography and languages!

This is a one-time invitation. You're receiving it because you previously signed a petition related to Wiki Workers United (WWU). We hope you'll join us!

AfC August Backlog Drive: Only ten days left!

Our pending drafts!

Hi Max, thanks for participating in the Articles for Creation August Backlog Drive! We've done amazing work so far, dropping the backlog by more than 3000 drafts already. We have around 1300 drafts outstanding, and we need your help to get that down to zero in the next 10 days. We can do this, but we need all hands on deck to help make it happen – if everyone who signed up to the drive reviewed just 1–2 drafts a day for the next ten days, we'd be down to zero in no time! A list of the pending drafts can be found at WP:AFCSORT, where you can select submissions in your area of interest, or you can find a random submission here. Thank you so much for your work so far, and happy reviewing! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:20, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Welcome, Max!

Hello, Max,

Congratulations on the username change, Max! I'm surprised it was available for you to usurp, just like my own was in 2013 (I used to be nwjerseyliz until I discovered I could simply be Liz!). It will take a while to get used to but you'll discover that it's nice to have a username that folks don't have to cut and paste to get right!

Are you going to keep your bot names under their original names or will those be changing as well? I'm not sure how complicated or how many archive pages are involved for you to have to go back and alter them all.

Any way, I hope you are having a nice summer. Mine has been pretty dull but it's part of the process of me reorganizing my life (housing, insurances, financial matters, paperwork, paperwork, paperwork), which is long past necessary and will hopefully bring me joy in the future when I have fewer bumps or calamities that hit me unexpectedly. Sometimes normal=boring=no drama=more peace and that's not a bad place to be when you get older and life's roller coasters just raise your blood pressure. Take care, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:40, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, Liz! I really appreciate it. And yes, I'll be keeping the bot names as they are. Hope things work out well with everything on your end too. Take care! Max (talk) 01:47, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-35

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

Updates for editors

• The Special:CreateAccount page has been simplified as part of ongoing work to modernize the account creation experience. The panel showing project statistics no longer appears next to the form on desktop and mobile web. Multiple account creation experiments show that a simpler form helps newcomers complete registration.
• In order to improve page performance, images now load when they are viewed. This means images lower down an article will not load if a reader never scrolls to that part of the page, which may affect some image-related metrics.

• View all 42 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where image thumbnails in Abstract Wikipedia could fail to display after the corresponding file was moved on Wikimedia Commons, has now been fixed. Thumbnails will now update correctly when files are moved.

Updates for technical contributors

• User Info card is a feature that helps patrollers see information about user accounts. So far, it has been available only in places such as page history, logs and recent changes. Now, it's possible to place it in the page content as well, using the {{#uic:}} parser function. It can be particularly useful in templates like {{Userlinks}} (or their specialized variants), as it will make it easier to see the context about a user on various noticeboard pages. The card will be displayed only to users who have it enabled in their preferences.
• Due to user security and privacy risks, we have disabled access to Special:MyPage URLs when specifically using action=raw. If you are impacted by this, consider whether you can use an alternative approach. Special:MyPage URLs can still be accessed and used without action=raw. Specified user page URLs (e.g. User:Myusername) can still be used with action=raw.
• Due to an update, the thumbnailing software has been improved. This includes upgrading librsvg to 2.60 and ImageMagick to 7, as well as resolving a number of long-standing thumbnailing bugs like rendering errors.

New pages patrol September 2026 Backlog drive

September 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
On 1 September 2026, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin at a particularly important time for NPP. The backlog has now passed 30,000 unreviewed articles, a level that has been described in current NPP discussions as exceptionally high and potentially difficult to overcome through normal reviewing alone. Backlog drives are one of the few measures that have historically produced a noticeable reduction in the backlog, so the participation of as many active patrollers as possible will matter this month. If you can review during September, please make articles your priority. Every article that is reviewed is a meaningful reduction in the backlog. With the queue at its current size, even a relatively small increase in the number of articles each patroller reviews can add up to a substantial difference over the course of the month. This is a hybrid drive, so redirect reviewing is still included. Redirects can be a useful way for newer patrollers to get comfortable with NPP and can help people build up to reviewing articles. However, the main goal of this drive is to tackle the article backlog, and experienced patrollers are particularly encouraged to spend as much of their available reviewing time on articles as they can. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. If you have been thinking about doing more NPP, this is an especially good month to jump in. Whether you can review a few pages or hundreds, every review helps. And if you are already an active patroller, please consider whether you can put in some additional time during September to help bring the backlog back under control. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.
