Problems

  • MediaWiki 1.38-wmf.11 was scheduled to be deployed on some wikis last week. The deployment was delayed because of unexpected problems.

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 December. It will be on all wikis from 9 December (calendar).
  • At all Wikipedias, a Mentor Dashboard is now available at Special:MentorDashboard. It allows registered mentors, who take care of newcomers' first steps, to monitor their assigned newcomers' activity. It is part of the Growth features. You can learn more about activating the mentor list on your wiki and about the mentor dashboard project.
  • Advanced item The predecessor to the current MediaWiki Action API (which was created in 2008), action=ajax, will be removed this week. Any scripts or bots using it will need to switch to the corresponding API module. [1]
  • Advanced item An old ResourceLoader module, jquery.jStorage, which was deprecated in 2016, will be removed this week. Any scripts or bots using it will need to switch to mediawiki.storage instead. [2]

Rich - Thanks for your friendly oversight of my Mitch Wilder article.

Two questions about sources:

1. How does one cite documents in archives? The archives of the Amon Carter Museum contain hundreds of Mitch's letters and other documents related to his career at the Amon Carter as well as materials from his previous positions that he deposited in the Carter archives.

The closest reference for these is archive box and folder name, for example a letter from Mitch to Rico Lebrun dated August 21, 1962, in the folder "Artists Environment West Coast - Lenders: Lebrun", in the box Exhibition History Box 12.

2. Can one cite messages from organizations that refer to or include documents?

More specifically, for the Honors and Publications sections that I recently added, can I cite the CV, which listed those items, that Mitch submitted to the Cosmos club upon his nomination for membership.

In response to my inquiry, the archivist, Rachel Nellis, on March 28, 2019, sent me an email with Mitch's CV attached, adding this information from club records:

"In addition to the attached information I found that Mr. Wilder was admitted in 1977 as a Museum Director and was a member until his death in 1979. He was sponsored for admission to the Cosmos Club by William Goetzmann, a Historian and Professor of History and UT Austin, and by Daniel Boorstin, the Librarian of Congress at the time."

Can I cite Ms. Nellis' message for Mitch's Honors and Publications? For the publications, I also plan to add Library of Congress info.

Thanks again!

Hi

I have resubmitted the page of Sachin Mote. He is one of the famous writer & producer of Marathi language from Maharashatra State, India.

Please help me out for resubmission of his page. If any query on the same let me know.

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

Recent changes

  • There are now default short aliases for the "Project:" namespace on most wikis. E.g. On Wikibooks wikis, [[WB:]] will go to the local language default for the [[Project:]] namespace. This change is intended to help the smaller communities have easy access to this feature. Additional local aliases can still be requested via the usual process. [3]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 December. It will be on all wikis from 16 December (calendar).

Future changes

  • The developers of the Wikipedia iOS app are looking for testers who edit in multiple languages. You can read more and let them know if you are interested.
  • Advanced item The Wikimedia Cloud VPS hosts technical projects for the Wikimedia movement. Developers need to claim projects they use. This is because old and unused projects are removed once a year. Unclaimed projects can be shut down from February. [5]
