Hi! Could you help me with requesting an image drawing for a medical article. Where should I put my request? Is there any special page for doing this? Thanks in advance. TnoXX (talk) 09:49, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Tech News: The Chart extension is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. The Trust and Safety Product team is finalizing work needed to roll out temporary accounts on large Wikipedias. More updates from Tech News week 23 and 24.
  • New Engagement Experiments: We're testing out WikiRun, a fun game that lets you race through Wikipedia by clicking from one article to another, aiming to reach a target page in as few steps and in as little time as possible! It's an experiment to explore new ways of engaging readers. Give it a try and let us know what you think on the talk page!

Guideline and policy news

Miscellaneous

  • The 2025 Developing Countries WikiContest will run from 1 July to 30 September. Sign up now!

Administrator elections are an alternative to RFA that is a gentler process for candidates due to secret voting and multiple people running together. The call for candidates is July 9–15, the discussion phase is July 18–22, and the voting phase is July 23–29. Get ready to submit your candidacy, or (with their consent) to nominate a talented candidate!

Calculator?

[edit]

Hi! I saw the calculator on your user page (the one that added points based on age, sex, and health problems), but I'm not sure what it's supposed to calculate. Is it the likeliness of getting a certain disease, or am I missing something? Anyway, thanks for your contributions both in real life and on Wikipedia! - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 19:54, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is for mdwiki:CHA2DS2–VASc score Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:02, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good to know! By the way, I noticed a coding typo on that mdwiki page, but I'm unable to log in, let alone edit the page. There's an extra "</ref>" in this text: 
! Considerations[1][2]</ref>
Could you please remove it? Thanks! - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 23:09, 26 July 2025 (UTC) - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 23:09, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can't log in because the authentication refuses to load when I click "log in with Wikipedia"... - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 23:49, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you try again? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:32, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's not working. It says "Could not load authentication plugin". I'll try again at a later date. It's not terribly urgent... - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 01:35, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Tech News: Temporary accounts have been rolled out on 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias, including German, Japanese, French, and Chinese; The CampaignEvents extension has been enabled on all Wikipedias. More updates from Tech News week 27 and 28.
  • AbuseFilter: AbuseFilter maintainers can now match against IP reputation data in AbuseFilters. IP reputation data is information about the proxies and VPNs associated with the user’s IP address. This data is not shown publicly and is not generated for actions performed by registered accounts.
  • Favorite Templates: A new feature related to Template Recall and Discovery will be deployed to all Wikimedia projects: a template category browser will be introduced to assist users in finding templates to put in their “favourite” list. The browser will allow users to browse a list of templates which have been organised into a given category tree. The feature has been requested by the community through the Community Wishlist.
  • Wikipedia App: We have launched an A/B test of tabbed browsing in the Wikipedia iOS app. This feature allows users to open multiple articles in separate tabs, making it easier to switch between topics, explore, and return to previous reading spots. The test is currently running in Arabic, English, and Japanese in selected regions. We’re collecting feedback and plan to make the feature more widely available soon.
  • MediaWiki: The MediaWiki Platform team has introduced a unified Built-in Notifications system, as part of MediaWiki 1.44, that makes it easier for developers to send, manage, and customize notifications across the platform.

The Signpost: 18 July 2025

[edit]
Endowment tax form, Wikimania, elections, U4C, fundraising and a duck!
And how do we know?
Five-year journey comes to healthy fruition.
Wikimedians from around the world will gather in person and online at the twentieth annual meeting of Wikimania.
As well as "hermeneutic excursions" and other scientific research findings.
The report covers the Foundation's operations from July 2023 - June 2024
A step towards objective and comprehensive coverage of a project nearly too big to follow.
Drawn this century!
How data from the Wikipedia "necessary articles" lists can shed new light on the gender gap
Annual plans, external trends, infrastructure, equity, safety, and effectiveness. What does it all mean?
Rest in peace.
Wouldn't it be nice without billionaires, scandals, deaths, and wars?
If you are too blasé for Mr. Blasé and don't give a FAC.
