Recent changes
- Mobile IP editors are now able to receive warning notices indicating they have a talk page message on the mobile website (similar to the orange banners available on desktop). These notices will be displayed on every page outside of the main namespace and every time the user attempts to edit. The notice on desktop now has a slightly different colour. [2][3]
Changes later this week
- Wikidata will be read-only for a few minutes on 11 November. This will happen around 06:00 UTC. This is for database maintenance. [4]
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- In the future, unregistered editors will be given an identity that is not their IP address. This is for legal reasons. A new user right will let editors who need to know the IPs of unregistered accounts to fight vandalism, spam, and harassment, see the IP. You can read the suggestions for how that identity could work and discuss on the talk page.

Recent changes

stashfailed" or "DBQueryError" have now been fixed. An incident report is available.
Problems

- There was a problem with search last week. Many search requests did not work for 2 hours because of a configuration error. [6]
Changes later this week

90% of articles are never nominated for deletion
Do you think this is a true statement? My math: (~30k/yr x 20yrs) / 6M = 10%. I don't know if my logic is sound, I thought you might have a view on the matter based on your study of the stats. Levivich 03:52, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Might be worth figuring out how many articles are nominated for deletion multiple times -- I have the impression that while not routine, it's common enough it might impact those stats. By extension, more articles would be not-AfDed than 90%. Vaticidalprophet 03:59, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- An interesting question. I haven't set up the Oracle to store to a database, or else I'd be able to answer it within about thirty seconds (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM afds WHERE nom = 1). Alas, this is a project for another day. jp×g 04:33, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
Request for script
Hi jpxg I was wondering if you could make a script/tool that would turn newspaper clippings from Papers Past (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers) into citations? Cheers, Dracophyllum 04:36, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
Copyedit needed?
Thanks for your Deletion report; I hope we see more of these. However: watching something you worked your ass off get deleted is close to an official rite of passage
seems to be missing something but I don't want to put words in your mouth and/or lose the impact of the colloquialism. Maybe reversing the word order, "watching the deletion of something you worked your ass off for"? ☆ Bri (talk) 20:20, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
