The Signpost: 9 September 2025
[edit]- News and notes: Wikimedia Foundation loses a round in court
- In the media: Congress probes, mayor whitewashed, AI stinks
- Disinformation report: A guide for Congress
- Recent research: Minority-language Wikipedias, and Wikidata for botanists
- Technology report: A new way to read Wikisource
- Traffic report: Check out some new Weapons, weapon of choice
- Essay: The one question
The JPEG version is now tagged as PD in only the US. The same should go for this PNG version (File:Dark Side of the Moon.png), right? I.e. I can ignore the previous FFD discussion on the PNG version and then be bold, right? George Ho (talk) 19:15, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- @George Ho fine by me. I'd suggest leaving the non-free rationale as it's non-free in the UK and add the PD-US only tag. Nthep (talk) 19:56, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- In other words, no undeleting past revisions then. What if I want them undeleted? BTW, already added the tag. George Ho (talk) 21:29, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- @George Ho they can be undeleted as it's PD in the US, but to what end? Nthep (talk) 21:59, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- If still "non-free", then the past revisions shouldn't be undeleted. We still want the image be as free and accessible as possible for especially American users (of English Wikipedia). Also, consistency matters still, and I don't want users to be confused between PNG and JPEG. George Ho (talk) 23:02, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- Also, I'm uncertain whether to re-take the PNG version back to FFD for consensus only to result in "no consensus" again. George Ho (talk) 23:05, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- why take it back to FFD? Do you want one of the deleting? Nthep (talk) 13:44, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
- Just asking the community whether to continue using the non-free rationale as long as the PNG version is also "free" in only the US. George Ho (talk) 21:17, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
- why take it back to FFD? Do you want one of the deleting? Nthep (talk) 13:44, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

- Showcase Lexemes:blow (L4476) - English verb (bloʊ) meaning "to push air", "to explode", or "to perform fellatio"
Development
- Scalability/sustainability: We have rolled out changes to minimize the number of entries stored in the recent changes tables of Wikipedia and co that are edits coming from Wikidata. This also reduces the number of changes from Wikidata you will see showing up in Recent changes and watchlist on Wikipedia and co further.
- MCP for Wikidata: We are getting it ready for first testing.
- Dumps: We are continuing to investigate how to provide smaller/subset dumps.
- Mobile statement editing: We are continuing the work on making statements editable, especially qualifiers and multiple references.
- Anubis (Q134301689) anti-bot software was deployed on Wikibase Cloud and XTools to prevent site outages caused by bot traffic. (T399851, T400229)
