We're COLLECTIVELY taking Berdly to the festival. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 16:47, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

YES WE YES - the deltarune noelle ARG email is hiding Berdly than Dess - WE will bring Berdly to the FESTIVAL (asgore will gain the aura for the bad reasons and berdly will gain aura for the good reasons) this will cause an uproar in which it becomes the roaring but this time THE roaring won't be caused by Berdly this time hehe KrispyBlueJays (talk) 16:56, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

@TalkTuahLunchly, KrispyBlueJays, and Organhaver: Wikipedia is not a social networking site. If you want to talk about your favourite game, get each others’ Discord ID or other social networking site ID and you can talk about it there.

ah damn I didn't realize that - I thought that rule only applied to actual Wikipedia article talk pages but aight if yall wanna talk about deltarune stuff with me then either check out the DUMB Deltarune forums, My Insta, and my own Discord server or we can do a private group chat lel anyways thank you star walker for letting us know KrispyBlueJays (talk) 02:00, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Well, Wikipedia is a community. See #Editing interests there too. Not all of it has to be "WP:NOTSOCIAL" and I wouldn't say this is a repetitive issue or the majority of the users here's edits. Anyways, thanks for the warning, and... yeah, no, I don't actually like talking to people on Discord (no offense, I just enjoy random social interactions like on Wikipedia). Will... not do this again. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 03:32, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Vitorperrut555, you are getting more off-topic than this original discussion. I am removing your comments. 🩷 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | deltarune tomorrow! ) 16:25, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Images

Hiya, just want to clarify my stance about that image. Per WP:UBI and WP:GACR6, "Good articles" (like Toby Fox) are required to have an image (unless it is impossible to obtain one). That's what I mean by "It's the best we have."

Cheers! (Deltarune tomorrow) 1timeuse75 (talk) 18:51, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a social network

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a social network. Wikipedia is not a place to socialize or write things that are not directly related to improving the encyclopedia. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. We're sorry if this message has discouraged you from editing here, but the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you. VitorFriboquen :] (Talk) 05:07, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Even experienced editors should be warned. If don’t want to be templated, see: Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars and Template:Don't template me VitorFriboquen :] (Talk) 05:11, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

I have a template at the top that explicitly states I am okay with being templated. Please don't speak to me like I'm a child. 🩷 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | deltarune tomorrow! ) 16:22, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately, my signature will stay, since I want it to and my colored text is accessible. Your nice yellow and pink and slightly off-yellow on a white (exposing myself as a white background user) background are barely perceptible to plenty of people. MUahahah....!

But how? How could wikitext possibly be scary? (on a more serious note, I see no issue with your signature) (the lack of named character entities for thin spaces in your signature is more scary…)

Wikipedian ^{Talk to me!} _{or not…} 06:44, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Oh, you changed it again.

Wikipedian ^{Talk to me!} _{or not…} 21:12, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm back to normal, yup. Although, I did like the colors. Maybe I'll change my signature to be more colorful than just maroon in the future. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 21:15, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-27

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

• As part of the Account Creation Experiments, the Growth team tested adding a user account icon in the mobile web header for logged-out users, providing direct access to "Create account" and "Log in" actions. The experiment increased account creation by about 20% without negatively affecting edit quality or constructive edit rates. The feature will now be rolled out to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on mobile web in the first week of July.
• After a successful experiment, logged-in users who did not confirm their email address when their account was created see a new banner asking them to complete that process. This helps reduce the risk that users get locked out of their account, and makes account email addresses overall more reliable. This is part of the Account Security project.
• An update to Search is refining how the -prefix: behaves when used to exclude results. Previously, using -prefix: with negation could unintentionally broaden search results by adding the namespaces included in the search scope, leading to confusing behavior for users expecting a straightforward exclusion filter. With the update, -prefix: will now strictly exclude matching page titles as intended and may display a warning if the relevant namespace has not been explicitly selected. The behavior of prefix: without negation however remains unchanged.
• View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where reviewers using the Page Curation toolbar were not automatically subscribed to talk page discussions they started has now been fixed. Reviewers will now receive notifications when someone replies to those discussions.

Updates for technical contributors

• Starting June 29th, automated downloads from the dumps.wikimedia.org website will be subject to the user-agent policy. Automated requests that provide a generic or empty user-agent will be blocked. Access to dumps through Wikimedia Cloud Services remains unaffected. This is a follow up to the announcement made in the 2026/25 issue of Tech News.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Question from RobinJohnston24 (19:35, 29 June 2026)

Hi there - nice to meet you. I just created a Wiki account, more as a way to associate myself with my monthly donation than for any other reason. That said, it has raised a question that maybe you can help answer. For a long time, I've wanted to create a Wiki page for my mother. She was a well-known opera singer in her day, and several of her peers have Wiki pages. How do I go about this? Thanks :) --RobinJohnston24 (talk) 19:35, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Generally, it is discouraged to write about subjects that are close to you, but you can still make a draft. See the Article Wizard to make one, and the Wizard will also give you some instructions to help you.

Just to say, but writing a Wikipedia article is very difficult, and not the easiest for new editors (see here for more information on making a new article). It might be better to practice editing pre-existing articles and helping out there. Hope it works out for you, and thanks for asking! 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 20:01, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

I definitely intend to do some editing, but I've already drafted an entry about my mother, including links for performances, photos, her obituary, etc.). That said, despite the fact than I am a professional writer, I recognize that writing something for wiki requires a specific skillset, so I may look at finding an experienced wiki writer through something like Upwork or Freelancer, particularly if I can fine someone who has experience with classical music writing or opera, and we'll see whether they consider my mother will fit within Wiki's notability guidelines. Thanks for you reply - very helpful! RobinJohnston24 (talk) 20:29, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Updates for editors

• View all 34 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the search bar results on Wikidata, showed English results instead of using the correct language fallback for users of language variants, has now been fixed. Search suggestions will now follow the expected language fallback chain.

Updates for technical contributors

• In preparation for Celebrate Women campaign planned for March 2027, the Wikimedia Foundation’s Content Enablement team has launched a 22-question survey to better understand technical contributions by women+ (anyone who identifies as a woman) across Wikimedia projects. The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete and will remain open until 20 July 2026. The questions are also available on-wiki for review in advance.
• The Score extension now supports rendering music scores as SVG images in addition to PNG, addressing a long-standing feature request and resolving historical image quality issues. Both formats are now provided to clients, with PNG in the src attribute and SVG in the srcset attribute.
• The new Parsoid parser continues to be deployed to additional wikis, making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. It was enabled on French Wikipedia, bringing total progress to covering 78.9% of Wikipedia page views. Rollout to English Wikipedia desktop will progress through this week.

How to make my music popular on social media platform --Miracle Effiong (talk) 05:07, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

I am a Wikipedia volunteer and cannot help you with non-Wikipedia issues. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 23:39, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello, question and stuff

Hi! I happen to come across your account and I forgot how. Anyway, I love your userpage as its silly- it made my day :D Now the question, how the heck did you make that 2x2 image of a wombat? Im inspired and want to that with an image of a fish. Please help.

Another thing, keep being yourself, wikipedia needs more silly people ^^ Ilikememes128 (talk) 00:55, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello! ...and that's really nice to hear!!

For the wombat, it's just a pre-existing random wombat image that I made 2px by 2px. It's an image size thing! In VisualEditor, edit the image and make the size whatever pixels, or edit the wikitext in source editor. And, ya know, I think it would be awesome for you to have a fish.

I also see that you're trying to set your signature to the one on your userpage. To do that you could read WP:SIG (and it'll tell you the guidelines on signatures too), but it looks okay enough and most of what you have to do is just copy the wikitext into this section of your preferences.

Thank you for the message, I really appreciate it! You keep being yourself as well. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 23:38, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Gender categories

The categories for Men and Women by state are *not* for individual males and females. Please review the categories. They are for articles relating to the male and female genders. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 01:22, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

There is nothing on the categories themselves indicating that it is used that way. Nowhere on the parent categories either. My apologies that I have misinterpreted it. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 01:25, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

You're invited to the Mentorship noticeboard

Hi, Organhaver. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard. I get the impression sometimes that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole or hamster wheel, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to share and learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Please take the § Survey when you get there! Mathglot (talk) 02:57, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for inviting me! Probably just going to stalk watch the page, maybe will do the survey if I have the time. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 03:21, 11 July 2026 (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.

Updates for editors

• Revise Tone helps newcomers identify passages in Wikipedia articles that may contain non-encyclopedic language and encourages them to consider revising the tone. The feature was A/B tested on the Arabic, English, French, and Portuguese Wikipedias, where newcomer task completion rates increased by 38.7% compared to the default Copyedit task, with no decrease in edit quality. The test ended on July 9, and the feature is now available for everyone on these wikis, configurable via Community Configuration. The plan is to release Revise Tone to more wikis.
• The community configuration that allows automatic removal of inactive mentors based on configurable criteria will be enabled on Thursday 16, on some wikis to keep mentor lists up to date. Mentors are experienced contributors who opt in to help new users on-wiki through the Growth Features. Administrators can now prepare the settings via Special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship; they will take effect starting Thursday.
• View all 38 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where some users of the Wikipedia Android app were logged out immediately after signing in, preventing them from staying logged in and editing pages, has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

• Editing a page via user scripts or gadgets was causing watchlist labels that the user had assigned to that page to reset. This has now been fixed.
• To work around a Safari bug (see phab:T425211), on Parsoid-enabled wikis, wikilink hrefs now use absolute urls instead of protocol-relative urls. REST API output remains unchanged and continue to use protocol-relative urls. Gadgets, user scripts, bots, and CSS might need to be adapted if they relied on the presence of protocol-relative urls in wikilink hrefs.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

• The Wikimedia Foundation’s Experiment Platform Team has published a blog post reflecting on its first year of structured experimentation. It highlights successful experiments such as Paste Check, Reference Check, and Tone Check, which improved editing outcomes and have been rolled out to more users, as well as experiments that did not lead to product changes.

About this edit you made on List of fictional autistic characters

I see that you deleted Edward Stanton from this page.

I think is a good idea to use Internet Archive to find some archived URL from this reference.

So, why you deleted this content from this page just because there’s a inaccessible sources?

You can even delete contents from Wikipedia, but when you find somes sources or archived sources, it should be added. VitorFriboquen :] (Talk) 03:15, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Updates for editors

• The Reader Experience team has incorporated community feedback around the placement of watchstar and watchlist buttons for the Reading Lists beta feature, which would allow for saving articles for later reading – a wishlist item to bring the functionality to web. Editors are invited to enable the beta feature to test it out and share their thoughts.
• Suggestion Mode offers edit suggestions within the VisualEditor for improving Wikipedia articles. All suggestions are community-configurable. The TextMatch feature is a way for volunteers to create custom local suggestions. The feature searches in articles for strings of text, and now includes support for regular expressions. This gives volunteers greater precision and flexibility over the kinds of local suggestions they can create. Note: Suggestions can be targeted based on the edit count of the person editing as well as other aspects of the page. You can find examples from other communities for inspiration, including TextMatches that detect: typos, grammar-errors, potential advertisements, clichés, incorrect dash or hyphen usage, non-specific time keywords, outdated names, and more. Any feedback is appreciated.
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the SVG Translate tool could use an outdated version of a file, causing existing translations to be overwritten when new ones were uploaded, has now been fixed. Overall, in the last quarter from April – June 2026 about 337 community tasks were resolved by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Updates for technical contributors

• On Parsoid-enabled wikis, Parsoid now renders a maximum of 1,250 images per page. A new tracking category, "media-limit-reached", will be soon made available to identify pages where this limit is reached, making it easier to find content whose media output may have been restricted during rendering. See phab:T430854 for more information and to provide feedback.

Updates for editors

• Content Translation now supports dark mode, fulfilling a Community Wishlist request. This brings the tool in line with the accessibility features available in the Vector 2022 and Minerva skins, helping reduce visual fatigue for users translating content.
• DiscussionTools' source mode and the 2017 wikitext editor will now offer autocomplete for links ([[), templates ({{), HTML and parser tags (<), and magic words (__), making it quicker and easier to insert links, templates, and other wiki markup while editing.
• The Readers Growth team has concluded its experiment with mobile page previews and will not roll out the feature. Page Previews are a pop-up bottom sheet that appears when readers tap a blue link, showing a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and an option to open the article. The experiment showed flat retention and negative indicator metrics, suggesting that mobile web readers preferred navigating directly to linked articles rather than using page previews.
• The Reader Experience team has seen encouraging early results from the Reading Lists feature, with 93% of participating users reporting that it was useful. Reading Lists help active readers save articles for future reading and support their learning goals on Wikimedia projects. The team plans further improvements before expanding the feature to more users.
• The Explore Feed Refresh initiative was tested with new and casual Wikipedia app readers. The refreshed feed helps readers discover new and relevant content. After a 10.5% increase in engagement with the feed, Wikimedia Apps team has decided to scale the Home Feed redesign to iOS with the learnings from the Android release applied.
• View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where subject names in the Article Guidance feature were displayed with incorrect capitalization on French Wikipedia, has now been fixed. Subject names will now follow the correct capitalization rules for the language.

Updates for technical contributors

• After running several Account Creation Experiments to improve registration completion rates, a new version of the username field on Create Account has been rolled out. It includes a popover summarizing the username policy to provide clearer guidance during account creation. As part of this change, the messages createacct-helpusername and createacct-username-help that several communities have configured will no longer be used. If communities want to customize the guidance shown in the new popover, they can instead edit the following messages: createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet1, createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet2, and createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet3.
• Later this week, the CodeMirror syntax highlighter will offer themes. The themes can be picked from a dropdown menu in the full CodeMirror preferences dialog. For wikitext, available themes are default, colorblind-friendly (previously the colorblind preference option on Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing) and no-highlighting. For code languages (i.e., CSS/JavaScript/JSON/Vue/Lua), there are several themes available. These same themes will eventually be available for wikitext, too.
• From now on, wikis can restrict editing in the "User" namespace to only the page owner and certain user groups. Read the configuration documentation to learn more.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Question from Aurorawatcher2 (00:45, 1 August 2026)

How do I point out an obvious error (a wrong name) without knowing the specific correct name? --Aurorawatcher2 (talk) 00:45, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

You should bring it up on the talk page, probably! Do you mind telling me what page in particular? 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 03:19, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Another mentor has answered my question, but in the meantime, I managed to do some editing. In answer to yours: it was the page on Murray Schisgal. Previously, the very first sentence was about (Lionel) Hampton. I assumed it was supposed to say Schisgal, not Hampton, but later I checked the citation for that sentence and discovered that - although it mentioned Hampton - it didn't even mention Schisgal at all. I've now edited that sentence out, and moved/demoted the following sentence to "Personal Life", since it was too minor to be the keynote sentence for Schisgal. Aurorawatcher2 (talk) 17:54, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

I see. Glad that it worked out! 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 19:39, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from Aurorawatcher2 (15:07, 1 August 2026)

That question is now moot, but I've made some edits: upon checking the citations in the article on Murray Schisgal, I realized that the very first(!) sentence, starting out "Hampton..." had no relevance to Schisgal, and the next sentence (vaguely related to the Hampton sentence) was too insignificant to be the leading sentence of the article. Can you confirm if my edits were reasonable and done correctly? --Aurorawatcher2 (talk) 15:07, 1 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

Question from LiteralFlyingFish (20:35, 3 August 2026)

Hi! I accidentally just got confused when editing Stephen Wiggins, and so when summarising my edit (adding a citation to his citizenship, birthplace and birthyear) said i reused a citation (when really i added a new one). There seemingly was a visual glitch where it showed my added citation as [1] as well as the [1] citation which was already in the article, and covered that citation's url and notes with mine in the preview. i therefore summarised my change as reusing a citation falsely. Is this noteworthy enough to change, and if so, how would i edit my edit summary? Thanks! P.S. I'm also trans and autistic, cool coincidence! (= --LiteralFlyingFish (talk) 20:35, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

My apologies for the late reply! Edit summaries cannot be changed, as all changes must be logged and it gets confusing. You can, however, make a thing called a dummy edit on the page (see WP:DUMMY), which is an edit summary-only edit, and say something like "Previous edit summary was incorrect, I meant xyz".

For the supposed visual glitch you're talking about, the preview thing is weird and only takes that chunk of text! So it counts references from the start of the preview (quite confusing, really). I think this edit is minor enough and obvious that you don't need to make an amend to it, but that's your choice. Thank you for asking (& all the details), and super cool to meet another autistic & transgender person! Hope this helps! 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 03:53, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from NixasHearts (18:03, 4 August 2026)

Sorry if this isn't the right use of the mentor function - I made this account pretty much to correct something on the Resident Evil page that sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. Do you think my edit is fine? I didn't know if I should add a citation or even hyperlink it to the radio drama page or something like that. --NixasHearts (talk) 18:03, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I've checked over your edit and it seems good! I do not believe you need a citation or hyperlink, inherently. The lead section does not typically need sources if the statement is proved in the rest of the article (as per WP:LEADCITE).

There may be some dispute since I can't see any audio dramas mentioned in the body, but I'm not an expert on the topic and it's not anything too bad. Thank you for asking, and this is a perfectly fine use of the mentor function, don't worry! 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 20:27, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I was wondering about that myself, but with the audiobook claim and previous time audio drama was correctly listed the same was true. I imagine adding a proper section addressing the audio dramas in the body would require some discussion since it is a much larger change - I fully realize I'm being a bit ambitious here given that I'm a beginner, but what would be your advice for going about getting a big change like that on there and approved? Or getting it considered, at least? NixasHearts (talk) 22:50, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I see. For a lot of things, actually, you can be bold and make the change yourself. I've seen people completely rewrite articles without discussion (although for more controversial things, like those that had edits reverted over, it should be discussed).

To make a new section, you'd need reliable sources, which is a little complicated to find and format for a beginner (but achievable). I don't think this is too ambitious. I may be wrong, of course. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 23:08, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from CharlieW04 (19:28, 6 August 2026)

Hello, just wanted to drop a note about my editing. Not sure if I am being too critical on some of these.

Also, I can find citations to academic writing but its access requires a subscription (which I have but most do not). Is it ok to go ahead and link to such articles/books? --CharlieW04 (talk) 19:28, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi! I'm a little unsure what you're asking me to do for the first sentence, but I've glanced over your edits and they seem pretty good. For your other question, it is completely fine to cite subscription-only sources. Thank you for asking! 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 19:36, 6 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

MediaWiki message delivery 20:43, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks and a question

Hi, thanks for fixing the links on the Acephobia page and the copy edit! I didn't realize I needed to change the link targets. Is that something you did from the source editor?

Also, I saw you removed the etymology section for original research. I was wondering why it was considered original research but the same sections on the biphobia and transphobia pages are not? Neither page has a source that directly supports the statements either. I thought that was okay since WP:BLUE doesn't require you to source obvious statements. I'm not trying to argue, but more-so understand. My main goal was simply to make the structure more closely match the pages of the homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia articles. Thanks! Fofxequals0 (talk) 21:01, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for asking! For the links, no worries on that (I'm just using a script to edit per WP:NOPIPE). Doing it manually is also possible in both source and visual editor (let me know if you're curious about that, don't want to talk too much on it unprompted)

For the etymology section, there were a few things that I checked sources on that didn't fully support the paragraph, and I decided to remove the whole section for WP:OR because those paragraphs comprised the whole section (unsure how much WP:BLUE counts, I don't work with citations too often).

For example, one sentence said that "It is not clear who first created and used the word acephobia, but a discussion page on the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) forums shows the term was used as early as 2009." There isn't a citation for "It is not clear who first created and used the word acephobia". Same for "acephobia is not defined as a clinical phobia" (although more obvious, probably needs a cite), and "The first component of the word comes from the term ace [...] and the second component comes from the Greek term φόβος (phóbos, meaning "fear" or "aversion")" (both sources are good on their own, but merging the information to create etymology for acephobia doesn't work).

I don't know for other articles how they handle it, because this edit was concerned with Discrimination against asexual people. I would assume for some articles this detail is part of the lead and is cited later(?)

I could be wrong for this removal, mostly this is just my thought process. Maybe discuss on the talk page about it (or if you find reasonable, add it back/reword). Anyways... thanks, again, I really do appreciate the kindness! ...and thank you if you've read all this. Jeez, it's really long... 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 01:26, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Don't worry a about your message being long, I really appreciate it!

I'm honestly not sure how much the talk page will help considering not many people edit the page in the first place... I'm also not sure how to redo the etymology section correctly (how do you prove something is unknown???) so I'll probably just leave it as it is for now. It's not vital to the article.

I would definitely be interested in how to do what you did with the links in both the source and visual editor (I used both, but the visual more often). Fofxequals0 (talk) 03:14, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Alright, great! (and perhaps you need to find a secondary source that just... states that it's unknown)

...So, let's say there's a link [[1|One]]. You can click the link in visual editor and press the unlink button (becoming One), and ctrl+k to re-link (and then click "Done", so the link is [[One]]). You can do this pretty quickly, actually. Hopefully this makes sense. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 17:20, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Yeah it makes sense! And that is simpler than I was expecting. Thanks! Fofxequals0 (talk) 19:54, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from ZoeMou42 (03:33, 12 August 2026)

I was on Jimmy Winkfield's page and noticed it doesn't have a Personal Life section, and I was wondering how to add that he had a daughter and also a grandchild. --ZoeMou42 (talk) 03:34, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Firstly, you'd need to find a reliable source that states that he had a daughter, etc. Most statements in an article need a citation, and you can't take from your personal knowledge/experience. If you have a source, just interpret what the source says, and cite it after what you wrote from the source.

If you'd like, instead, you could write something on the talk page as a suggestion for other editors to add it. Hope this helps, and thank you for asking. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 16:03, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for replying so quickly! Winkfield had quite a few children actually; I only mentioned one daughter and one grandchild but there are a few more. I will track down how to get to a Talk page to add the suggestion for other editors, but they can look at Edward Hotaling's research in his book Wink: The Incredible Life and Epic Journey of Jimmy Winkfield (Camden: McGraw-Hill, 2005) and p. 16 of Susan Hamburger's chapter 1 "Jimmy Winkfield: The 'Black Maestro' of the Racetrack" in the book Out of the shadows: a biographical history of African American athletes, edited by David K. Wiggins (Fayetteville: University of Arkansas Press, 2006.) There's also an interview with Aimee Casey (Wink's granddaughter who is a veterinarian) on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VlbTkcOagg&t=541s (though for some reason in the interview her name is spelled Amie) and mention of both Aimee and Liliane Casey (Wink's daughter) in this article by Steve Crump from May 1, 2021 https://www.wave3.com/2021/05/01/remembering-last-black-jockey-win-kentucky-derby/ ZoeMou42 (talk) 18:17, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Alright, that's great! The sources look pretty good too.

The talk page is just for discussions relating to the base page. You're on a talk page now, actually (...the one relating to my userpage User:Organhaver). To find it regularly, there's a button on the top left of the page (below the title) that you can click to get there when on an article. I can also make a talk page message myself at Talk:Jimmy Winkfield about this, if that's easier! 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 01:30, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much for explaining that! My apologies, I'm (clearly) very new to editing a Wikipedia page so this has been very helpful information, thanks again! ~2026-44436-65 (talk) 01:47, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

What are your thoughts on the Deltarune fan cafe fiasco that happened a few days ago?

Just felt like asking. TalkTuahLunchly (talk) 06:41, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

@TalkTuahLunchly I'm not organhaver but i was there and it was as bad as people say it was. Just as a reminder, but you shouldnt use talk pages for this as itd violate not a forum polices. Monathephantom (talk) 15:30, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

If the Deltarune Fan Cafe gets a Wikipedia page or at least has a section on a Wikipedia page, I recommend that you upload your own photos of the event to Wikimedia Commons. TalkTuahLunchly (talk) 00:45, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

Normal_NPC comes into the real world and poisons the takoyaki... anyways, I do agree with Monathephantom here.

Just something you might be interested in

Hello! I notice you have a interest in the UTDR series just like me, so i just wanted to ask if you wanted to help out with something. Currently, there are no articles related to UTDR that are featured status; Undertale is a good article but failed its FA nomination, and Sans is the only other article with GA status. I've been returning to a previous article i made, List of Undertale and Deltarune concerts, and working on it alot to potentially get that to Featured List status. If you want, you can help as I would really need it. Some things like copyediting or references or even expanding would help a ton. Thanks! Monathephantom (talk) 15:28, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for asking! I'll try to help as much as I can, but I don't typically ever work on lists or getting articles to being a FA. I can do some copyedits, at least. Well, good luck, and I hope your article gets promoted! 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 05:03, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from Johnzy Zombee (13:01, 15 August 2026)

Can my page go live now? --Johnzy Zombee (talk) 13:01, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

From what I can tell, you are talking about Draft:Battle Scars (2015), yes? Drafts get deleted if they haven't been edited in 6 months. I don't believe you submitted it for review with it being accepted, and drafts don't automatically become articles, so... maybe not? 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 03:29, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Way back, I was told I didn't meet certain criteria -- that someone else had to author my page. I would like a page for me (Johnzy Zombee); this would include Battle Scars and my published works. Is this possible? ~2026-44855-53 (talk) 09:57, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Perhaps. It's discouraged to write an article about yourself or people you know personally/things you created (see our guideline for "conflicts of interest"), and you need reliable & independent sources to have a page meet article guidelines anyway (see our general notability guideline: "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article ... when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject").

You can make a draft, though, with the Article Wizard. I'm unsure if it will become an actual article, but it's something. Also, it appears you are logged out? 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 17:33, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Sounds like you're saying a reliable and independent source(s) is the best way to go. All of my credentials are online. Any chance you could pen my article? You are my new mentor after all and I do appreciate you! Johnzy ~2026-44855-53 (talk) 20:44, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Hey, so I have been noticing that when you scrowl over a page for a film the film poster won't to show like it used to is this happening to everyone? --Thegrimreaper1990 (talk) 05:04, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm unsure what you mean. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 17:52, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

The image won't show on certain pages, most of them for films. I don't know if it is a copyrighted thing. Thegrimreaper1990 (talk) 20:10, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Some articles don't include images. It's not automatic, if that's what you're saying? 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 03:19, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

yes Thegrimreaper1990 (talk) 12:05, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

Then I'm unfortunately not totally sure why that is.

My best guess is that it might have something to do with our policies on non-free content. We don't typically permit the use of copyrighted material on Wikipedia, but make some exceptions in cases where using copyrighted material is the only way to do it e.g. movie posters.

Maybe we have a rule that forbids using non-free images to attract readers' attention to an article? That's the only reason I could think of that the image wouldn't appear in the preview. I can't find anything about it in our documentation though. We'll have to wait and see if Organhaver has anything to add. crtbob@talk:~$ ls contribs 12:19, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

ok thank you Thegrimreaper1990 (talk) 13:12, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

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

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!

audio recording of username

Hi Organhaver, from a fellow organ haver.

I saw the IPA template on your userpage and recorded a version of your username: Listen^ⓘ. If you like it, feel free to add it to the {{IPAc-en}} with |audio=en-us-User-Organhaver.ogg. If not, let me know if you want me to record it (if I got the syllable stress wrong, etc.). = paul2520 💬 23:16, 22 August 2026 (UTC)

WHAT that is so awesome!! I'm totally going to use that for my userpage. Genuinely, that is... so cool... It sounds perfect! Thank you so much! 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 04:23, 23 August 2026 (UTC)
