User talk:Valereee
Admins: If you think an admin action I've taken recently is wrong or unhelpful, or one I've taken in the past is no longer useful, go ahead and undo or change it without feeling like you have to talk to me first. An explanation in the edit summary is always helpful, but I trust your judgement. |
Need help and don't know where to find it?

I came across this award reviewing a draft and it appears to be a notable award mentioned in several articles. Thought you might be interested in creating an article. See also es:Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. S0091 (talk) 16:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hm, it has an entry in 8 language wikis. Definitely seems worth investigating, thanks! Valereee (talk) 17:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-19[edit]
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
- The appearance of talk pages changed for all wikis, except for Commons, Wikidata and most Wikipedias (a few have already received this design change). You can read the detail of the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at remaining wikis in the coming weeks. [1][2]
- Interface admins now have greater control over the styling of article components on mobile with the introduction of the
SiteAdminHelper
. More information on how styles can be disabled can be found at the extension's page. [3] - Wikimedia Enterprise has added article body sections in JSON format and a curated short description field to the existing parsed Infobox. This expansion to the API is also available via Wikimedia Cloud Services. [4]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 May. It will be on all wikis from 9 May (calendar). [5][6]
- When you look at the Special:Log page, the first view is labelled "All public logs", but it only shows some logs. This label will now say "Main public logs". [7]
Future changes
- A new service will be built to replace Extension:Graph. Details can be found in the latest update regarding this extension.
- Starting May 21, English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia will get the possibility to activate "Add a link". This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to all Wikipedias. These communities can activate and configure the feature locally. [8]

UCM article[edit]
Hi Valereee. I'm not sure if my message got lost in the hustle and bustle of the talk page, but I've proposed new content which I think balances out concerns we've had with the Universal Classic Monsters article. Basically new sources have come available and the conversation has brought new material to the table that addresses a large chunk of viewing these characters as a franchise from a more serious angle. I've written a basic draft here and normally would just add it to the article, but as I'm being watched on WP:OWN etc, I want to clear the air and have others take a look at the draft first before I edit it in. It can be found here User:Andrzejbanas/sandbox/Universal Monsters. Thoughts? Andrzejbanas (talk) 03:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, @Andrzejbanas! Yes, I saw that. I'm just an admin at that article, which means staying out of content. Valereee (talk) 13:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Fair. I'm glad the conversation is happening on the article anyways again, as I wouldn't have looked up the information otherwise. And yesz totally fine if you didn't look, but just wanted to get input from others as I feel this content will be much more satisfying to the other editors issues. It's so great when good sources like this just fall into our laps. Anyways, thanks for the response. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:13, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Tech issue?[edit]
I'm sorry I just reverted you. Occasionally I hit rollback by mistake. This is like the third time it's happened and it's frustrating. I have the confirmation prompt (are you sure you want to rollback?) and I always hit no, but this doesn't actually stop it from using rollback? I think I'm going to try and find out why that's happening because I don't think it should be. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 19:52, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, happens to many of us! Valereee (talk) 19:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Well ideally the prompt itself shouldn't be useless. I'm going to try and figure out what's going on there. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 19:57, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-20[edit]
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
- On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word
__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__
to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [9] - If you use the user-preference "Show preview without reloading the page", then the template-page feature "Preview page with this template (what's this?)" will now also work without reloading the page. [10]
- Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the
alt=
attribute. This is identical in usage to thealt=
attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [11] - The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [12]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (calendar). [13][14]
- The Special:Search results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [15]
Future changes
- In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [16]
- Two columns of the
pagelinks
database table (pl_namespace
andpl_title
) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the newlinktarget
table instead (lt_namespace
andlt_title
). In your existing SQL queries:- Replace
JOIN pagelinks
withJOIN linktarget
andpl_
withlt_
in theON
statement - Below that add
JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
- See phab:T222224 for technical reasoning. [17][18]
- Replace
