How do I upload an image?

Pictures under a license that allows reuse can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Once uploaded, they can be used here under the filename you chose when uploading.

Question from Ficinisti (14:45, 20 September 2024)

I wish to add an update under 'Meaning' (a painting) The picture is on Wikicommons. I need to use a detail of it. Am I allowed to do this? --Ficinisti (talk) 14:46, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

@Ficinisti: You can use any image from Wikimedia Commons in a Wikipedia article, and upload images to Wikimedia Commons too. Rusty 🐈 14:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Clarification and Follow-up on Redirect for Alexandre Moratto

Hi Rusty Cat,

I initially modified the redirect page for the notable Brazilian-American director Alexandre Moratto, but due to inexperience, I believe I made an error in the process. Thank you for correcting it and returning it to the original redirect.

The reason for this attempt was feedback from editor MarcGarver, who questioned whether the redirect to Sócrates was the best representation for this page. In response, I translated the Wikipedia page for Alexandre Moratto from the Portuguese portal: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Moratto.

The translated version is available here as a draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Alexandre_Moratto.

The draft is a direct translation of the established Portuguese page, providing a more comprehensive factual overview of Moratto’s career and addressing the limitations of the current redirect as a stub. If replacing the current redirect with this draft is deemed appropriate, it would need to be published by an editor, administrator, or moderator. Since the content already exists in another language version of Wikipedia, it may be worth considering for inclusion in the English-language portal. The current redirect to Sócrates offers limited information on the director's broader career.

Thank you again for correcting the redirect, and please let me know if any further action is needed.

Best,

Squigglyturtle Squigglyturtle (talk) 22:38, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

@Squigglyturtle: For now, the draft is not a "live article", so I believe the redirect should remain. However, when the article is ready to be moved to the "live article" space, the current redirect page can be deleted to allow the draft to be moved to that title. Rusty 🐈 23:53, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Dear Rusty Cat,

Thank you for the clarification. Please accept my apologies for the changes made to the redirect page. As I am new to this process, I encountered warnings indicating that I was not following the correct procedures. I attempted to revert the changes but was unable to do so. I appreciate your intervention in restoring the page to ensure proper protocol was maintained.

Per your explanation, my understanding is that no further action is needed and the community or moderators will determine if the draft of the translation should be approved and replace the redirect, correct? Thanks for you attention to my questions.

Sincerely,

Squigglyturtle Squigglyturtle (talk) 00:05, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

@Squigglyturtle: Not automatically. You'd need to either submit it for review, or if you think the article is ready in its current state to replace the redirect, you'll need to make a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests since normal users cannot delete articles. Rusty 🐈 00:43, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for this information. Perhaps submitting it for review may be the best approach. Would you mind providing some feedback on how to submit it for review at your convenience? With thanks. Squigglyturtle (talk) 00:52, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

@Squigglyturtle: Sure! Just put the following code at the top of the page:

{{subst:submit}}

Rusty 🐈 01:07, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your consideration. After further reflection, I opted to submit the suggestion via Wikipedia

move/Technical requests. If you believe it would be helpful to also add {{subst:}} to the draft page, I would be glad to do so. I appreciate your guidance and time. Squigglyturtle (talk) 01:16, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

I received a notification that the article has been approved and is now live: Alexandre Moratto. Thank you for your guidance throughout this process. I look forward to continuing my contributions to Wikipedia. Squigglyturtle (talk) 03:23, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

@Squigglyturtle: Glad I was able to help! Happy editing! Rusty 🐈 03:39, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:EMulate Therapeutics

Hello, Rusty Cat. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:EMulate Therapeutics, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 00:06, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Rusty Cat, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! _signed, Rosguill ^talk 16:37, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-39

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

• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday September 25 at 15:00 UTC. Reading the wikis will not be interrupted, but editing will be paused. These twice-yearly processes allow WMF's site reliability engineering teams to remain prepared to keep the wikis functioning even in the event of a major interruption to one of our data centers.

Updates for editors

A screenshot of the interface for the Alt Text suggested-edit feature

• Editors who use the iOS Wikipedia app in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Chinese, may see the Alt Text suggested-edit experiment after editing an article, or completing a suggested edit using "Add an image". Alt-text helps people with visual impairments to read Wikipedia articles. The team aims to learn if adding alt-text to images is a task that editors can be successful with. Please share any feedback on the discussion page.
• The Codex color palette has been updated with new and revised colors for the MediaWiki user interfaces. The most noticeable changes for editors include updates for: dark mode colors for Links and for quiet Buttons (progressive and destructive), visited Link colors for both light and dark modes, and background colors for system-messages in both light and dark modes.
• It is now possible to include clickable wikilinks and external links inside code blocks. This includes links that are used within <syntaxhighlight> tags and on code pages (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto and Sanitized CSS). Uses of template syntax {{…}} are also linked to the template page. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [1]
• Two bugs were fixed in the GlobalVanishRequest system by improving the logging and by removing an incorrect placeholder message. [2][3]
• View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• From Wikimedia Enterprise:
  • The API now enables 5,000 on-demand API requests per month and twice-monthly HTML snapshots freely (gratis and libre). More information on the updates and also improvements to the software development kits (SDK) are explained on the project's blog post. While Wikimedia Enterprise APIs are designed for high-volume commercial reusers, this change enables many more community use-cases to be built on the service too.
  • The Snapshot API (html dumps) have added beta Structured Contents endpoints (blog post on that) as well as released two beta datasets (English and French Wikipedia) from that endpoint to Hugging Face for public use and feedback (blog post on that). These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.

In depth

• The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) is used to get answers to questions using the Wikidata data set. As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the WDQS Graph Split project, we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the "scholarly" and "main" subgraphs of Wikidata. The query.wikidata.org endpoint will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph. For more information, please see the announcement on Wikidata.

Tech News: 2024-40

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

• Readers of 42 more wikis can now use Dark Mode. If the option is not yet available for logged-out users of your wiki, this is likely because many templates do not yet display well in Dark Mode. Please use the night-mode-checker tool if you are interested in helping to reduce the number of issues. The recommendations page provides guidance on this. Dark Mode is enabled on additional wikis once per month.
• Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor as their default can access features from the 2017 wikitext editor by adding ?veaction=editsource to the URL. If you would like to enable the 2017 wikitext editor as your default, it can be set in your preferences. [4]
• For logged-out readers using the Vector 2022 skin, the "donate" link has been moved from a collapsible menu next to the content area into a more prominent top menu, next to "Create an account". This restores the link to the level of prominence it had in the Vector 2010 skin. Learn more about the changes related to donor experiences. [5]
• The CampaignEvents extension provides tools for organizers to more easily manage events, communicate with participants, and promote their events on the wikis. The extension has been enabled on Arabic Wikipedia, Igbo Wikipedia, Swahili Wikipedia, and Meta-Wiki. Chinese Wikipedia has decided to enable the extension, and discussions on the extension are in progress on Spanish Wikipedia and on Wikidata. To learn how to enable the extension on your wiki, you can visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-Wiki.
• View all 22 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• Developers with an account on Wikitech-wiki should check if any action is required for their accounts. The wiki is being changed to use the single-user-login (SUL) system, and other configuration changes. This change will help reduce the overall complexity for the weekly software updates across all our wikis.

In depth

• The server switch was completed successfully last week with a read-only time of only 2 minutes 46 seconds. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes. [6]

Meetings and events

• October 4–6: WikiIndaba Conference's Hackathon in Johannesburg, South Africa
• November 4–6: MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 in Vienna, Austria

Question from Harakeke007 (08:23, 7 October 2024)

Hello. A wikipedia profile page was set up in my name without prior notification. This came as a surprise and I now need to complete the profile. Currently my academic publications have been directly imported from the (very incomplete) scholia list and I don't know how to format those that should be added so would appreciate guidance. Is it usual for people to set up wikipedia profiles without notifying the subjects? --Harakeke007 (talk) 08:23, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

@Harakeke007: First of all, I would recommend you to not make edits directly to the page yet - our standards can differ from what you might expect, and it is strongly discouraged for subjects to edit the article directly, for one.

You can suggest edits by going to the talk page of the article, accessible through the "Talk" tab at the top, and get comments from other editors. Rusty 🐈 23:36, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Harakeke007 (20:00, 7 October 2024)

Hello, as per yesterday's question, I'm puzzled that someone is able to set up a wikipedia profile for a subject without their being notified. My attempts to correct/ edit/ expand upon the profile established for me without forewarning have been removed as they're considered to be a conflict of interest. I have no way of contacting the original author, whose intentions are worthy but whose process seems questionable from the subject's viewpoint. Please advise urgently. --Harakeke007 (talk) 20:00, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

@Harakeke007: Wikipedia is like an encyclopedia. We summarize what reliable sources say, so if you want to make a change, suggest on the "Talk" tab with some sources please. Rusty 🐈 23:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-41

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

• Communities can now request installation of Automoderator on their wiki. Automoderator is an automated anti-vandalism tool that reverts bad edits based on scores from the new "Revert Risk" machine learning model. You can read details about the necessary steps for installation and configuration. [7]

Updates for editors

• Translators in wikis where the mobile experience of Content Translation is available, can now customize their articles suggestion list from 41 filtering options when using the tool. This topic-based article suggestion feature makes it easy for translators to self-discover relevant articles based on their area of interest and translate them. You can try it with your mobile device. [8]
• View all 12 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• It is now possible for <syntaxhighlight> code blocks to offer readers a "Copy" button if the copy=1 attribute is set on the tag. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [9]
• Customized copyright footer messages on all wikis will be updated. The new versions will use wikitext markup instead of requiring editing raw HTML. [10]
• Later this month, temporary accounts will be rolled out on several pilot wikis. The final list of the wikis will be published in the second half of the month. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 11 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available.
• Rate limiting has been enabled for the code review tools Gerrit and GitLab to address ongoing issues caused by malicious traffic and scraping. Clients that open too many concurrent connections will be restricted for a few minutes. This rate limiting is managed through nftables firewall rules. For more details, see Wikitech's pages on Firewall, GitLab limits and Gerrit operations.
• Five new wikis have been created:
  • a Wikipedia in Komering (w:kge:) [11]
  • a Wikipedia in Mooré (m:mos:) [12]
  • a Wiktionary in Madurese (wikt:mad:) [13]
  • a Wikiquote in Gorontalo (q:gor:) [14]
  • a Wikinews in Shan (n:shn:) [15]

I have my students edit Wikipedia at the University at Albany in New York State. I wanted to let you know that it's usually ok to edit other people's userpage.

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 Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [16][17]
• WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [18]
• View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.

Updates for technical contributors

• Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [19]
• Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed. [20]
• Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a <bdi> element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time. [21]
