Recent changes
The Wikisources use a tool called ProofreadPage. ProofreadPage uses OpenSeadragon which is an open source tool. The OpenSeadragon JavaScript API has been significantly re-written to support dynamically loading images. The functionality provided by the older version of the API should still work but it is no longer supported. User scripts and gadgets should migrate over to the newer version of the API. The functionality provided by the newer version of the API is documented on MediaWiki.
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 December. It will be on all wikis from 8 December (calendar).
Hi Liz, In brief: no, rename them. These categories are currently at WP:CFDW, but are not being processed because of a NO BOTS market added, as {{Single chart}}'s update needs to be reflected in the pages it's transcluded on. For the categories on the empty category list, they have all been moved to their new target, so you can either re-add them to the CFDW page, or manually move them. —Qwerfjkltalk 07:21, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
I don't really understand how WP:CFDW works (which is why I help out at AFD, not CFD) and there are quite a lot of categories to copy and add to a list. I might try moving some as on the tag there is a "Move" link. I'm not sure why a No Bots tag was added to the page.
Thanks for filling me in on what is going on with these categories. You're a pro! LizRead!Talk! 19:10, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
With very lightly populated categories, you may consider editing the articles one by one to manually implement the changes according to closure. After the category is empty you may then tag the category page with {{db-xfd|votepage=Log/2022_October_2}} but with the proper (re)listing date of the nomination (see WP:G6). Just a suggestion. Liz or another admin will delete thus tagged pages within hours rather than within days. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:10, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
@Marcocapelle, the population of the category doesn't really matter to me. Thanks to Cat-a-lot, removing 90 pages from a category takes the same amount of time as removing three. (I used to do this for all categories back in April, as my CSD log shows, with some more in 2021.) It's just far easier to list them instead of implementing them. I'm not really too worried about the categories not being deleted etc. immediately - the problems this causes are few and far between. If this causes any major issues, I suppose I can tag them. —Qwerfjkltalk 21:24, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
I see you proposed the renaming of a category to the above title - could I ask you to sort out another renaming - without the double "the" in the middle. Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 22:41, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to our latest newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since October. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.
Blitz: Our October Copy Editing Blitz focused on July and August 2022 request months; and articles tagged for c/e in December 2021 and January 2022. Seventeen of those who signed up claimed at least one copy-edit, and between them copy-edited forty-six articles. Barnstars awarded are here.
Drive: In the November Backlog Elimination Drive, thirty editors signed up, twenty-two of whom claimed at least one copy-edit. Both target months—December 2021 and January 2022—were cleared, and February was added to the target months. Sixteen requests were copy-edited and 239 articles were removed from the backlog. Barnstars awarded are here.
Blitz: Our seven-day-long December 2022 Copy Editing Blitz begins on 17 December at 00:01 (UTC)*. It will focus on articles tagged for copy-edit in February 2022, and pending requests from September and October. Barnstars awarded will be available here.
Progress report: As of 22:40, 8 December 2022, GOCE copyeditors have processed 357 requests since 1 January, there were seventy-four requests outstanding and the backlog stands at 1,791 articles. We always need skilled copy-editors; please help out if you can.
Election news: Nomination of candidates for the GOCE's Election of Coordinators for the first half of 2023 is open and continues until 23:59 on 15 December. Voting begins at 00:01 on 16 December and closes at 23:59 on 31 December. All editors in good standing (not under ArbCom or community sanctions) are eligible and self-nominations are welcomed. Coordinators serve a six-month term that ends at 23:59 on June 30. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, please nominate yourself or any editor you consider suitable—with their permission, of course!. It's your Guild and it doesn't coordinate itself.
Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers and best seasonal wishes from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, Tenryuu, and Zippybonzo.

Kudos on seeming to be honest and sincere in your request for feedback.
Best advice I can give: make certain you are wearing your thick skin.
People can and sometimes do, say whatever they want. And everyone comes to these things from their own perspectives.
This is the reverse of CfD - there ir's comment on the content, not the editor - here, you are the "content".
Just remember that you are there merely asking for their free advice. And sometimes, what you receive is about worth what you paid for it: )
Just stay civil and remember that there's no law that you need to respond to rude people either.
If you're still interested in it, just follow the process along.
One last note: If you ever go for the real thing, please drop me a note - since I've requested it, it's not convassing: )
I hope this helps, and that you're having an awesome day: ) - jc37 02:26, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
I just wanted to leave a friendly note that editors at ORCP tend to be quite harsh in order to prepare you for the level of criticism you will face at RfA, as the arguments are largely going to be the same. Take their advice to heart and don't be too dissuaded by it! Curbon7 (talk) 07:37, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
@Curbon7, it's more than balanced out by the kind words of you and jc37! —Qwerfjkltalk 11:21, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
how to write an article --BOLLYWOOD WITH SANJANA (talk) 15:05, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
This code runs on all pages if installed normally. I think you need something like if (mw.config.get('wgCanonicalSpecialPageName') === 'Wantedcategories') {...}. Nardog (talk) 17:35, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
The GOCE December 2022 newsletter, as sent on 9 December, contains an erroneous start date for our December Blitz. The Blitz will start on 11 December rather than on 17 December, as stated in the newsletter. I'm sorry for the mistake and for disrupting your talk page; thanks for your understanding.

Hello! Do you have a question? —Qwerfjkltalk 08:31, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
how do i add pictures? --Lisa rina (talk) 00:20, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
@Lisa rina, see Help:Adding images. The page is currently a draft, however, so you may want to focus on getting it accepted first. —Qwerfjkltalk 08:07, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
The fourth edition of the Coolest Tool Award will happen online on Friday 16 December 2022 at 17:00 UTC! The event will be live streamed on Youtube in the MediaWiki channel.
Planning the final pieces that still need doing before the first release
Vektor 2022: Finished work on making Vector’s new Search work with Wikidata. The changes roll out for testing on test.wikidata.org next week (phab:T275251)
Query Service:
Getting a link to the query is now possible in the same place as getting a link to the result of the query (phab:T324218)
Removed the gif that showed on hover over the button that advertises the Query Builder to make it less annoying (phab:T296135)
Added wikibase:identifiers to the autocomplete feature (phab:T302057)
Adjusted the layout of the Query Builder header to be more in line with other application (phab:T288939)
Constraint violations: When a language name is mentioned in the constraint it will now show the name of the language in the interface language instead of the language itself to make it easier to understand (phab:T316936)

Wikidata Atlas is a system allows the user to search for different types of entities (with geo-coordinates) on Wikidata and visualize them on a world map. (Feedback is very welcome to help evaluate and improve the tool.)
The French Wikipedia now uses a Wikidata-based list for the pages on specific dates, without relying on ListeriaBot. Who was born on a December 19th and has an article in French? You now can have the answer thanks to a Wikidata query by going to the page 1er décembre on frwiki and clicking on the infobox link "Naissances du jour". This is a link to a Wikidata list provided by the query service. The query is generated by the template fr:Modèle:Naissances un jour du mois. This follows another such template used to find all persons with a certain surname on frwiki, used on all surnames pages and on some disambiguation pages, fr:Modèle:Liste des personnes ou_personnages par prénom. For the surname Victor (Q539581) (view with Reasonator, SQID) this generates on the page w:fr:Victor_(prénom) a query such as this one.
Wikidata now has more than 100,000,000 items! Exactly which item was the 100 millionth is unknown as of writing, but there are some clues for anyone who wants to dig into it.
Newest properties: This section is currently empty due to technical issues with the bot responsible for filling it. If you are interested in keeping track of new properties on Wikidata, you can check the property proposal page for updates.
REST API: We are getting ready for a release in January and would really love more people to test the current state on beta. You can find details for testing at Wikidata:REST API feedback round.
Vector 2022 search: We have worked on making the new search in the Vector 2022 skin work for Wikidata. You can now test it on test.wikidata.org and soon on Wikidata.
Query Service:
Removed the SVG download options for result views where SVG downloads are not supported, such as Map (phab:T311594)
Fixed the indentation of autocompletion suggestions (phab:T291695)
Fixed downloading query results in the Query Builder (phab:T323451)
Lexicographical data:
Working on showing the Lexeme lemmas when you look at a Lexeme’s history (phab:T312660)
Fixing a keyboard navigation issue in the lookups on Special:NewLexeme (phab:T324743)
mul language code:
Continuing to investigate how to implement language fallbacks on mobile termbox (phab:T323098)
Investigating how to disallow `mul` descriptions (phab:T313027)
Improving and harmonizing the footers in the Query Builder (phab:T324356) and Mismatch Finder (phab:T324366)
Preparing for showing constraint violations to visitors who aren’t logged in (phab:T272132)

Tech News
Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2023.
Recent changes
On a user's contributions page, you can filter it for edits with a tag like 'reverted'. Now, you can also filter for all edits that are not tagged like that. This was part of a Community Wishlist 2022 request.
A new function has been used for gadget developers to add content underneath the title on article pages. This is considered a stable API that should work across all skins. Documentation is available.
One of our test wikis is now being served from a new infrastructure powered by Kubernetes (read more). More Wikis will switch to this new infrastructure in early 2023. Please test and let us know of any issues.
Problems
Last week, all wikis had no edit access for 9 minutes. This was caused by a database problem.
Changes later this week
There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
The word "Reply" is very short in some languages, such as Arabic ("ردّ"). This makes the Discussion tools button on talk pages difficult to use. An arrow icon will be added to those languages. This will only be visible to editors who have the Beta Feature turned on.
Future changes
Edits can be automatically "tagged" by the system software or the Edit filter configuration system. Those tags link to a help page about the tags. Soon they will also link to Recent Changes to let you see other edits tagged this way. This was a Community Wishlist 2022 request.
The Trust & Safety tools team have shared new plans for building the Private Incident Reporting System. The system will make it easier for editors to ask for help if they are harassed or abused.
Realtime Preview for Wikitext is coming out of beta as an enabled feature for every user of the 2010 Wikitext editor in the week of January 9, 2023. It will be available to use via the toolbar in the 2010 Wikitext editor. The feature was the 4th most popular wish of the Community Wishlist Survey 2021.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Aero Design (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
