Invitation to participate in research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of a group of Wikipedians to better understand their experiences! We are also looking to interview some survey respondents in more detail, and you will be eligible to receive a thank-you gift for the completion of an interview. The outcomes of this research will shape future work designed to improve on-wiki experiences.
We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this survey, which shouldn’t take more than 2-3 minutes. You may view its privacy statement here. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Kind regards, Sam Walton (talk) 16:35, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
Restriction and IBAN appeal
[edit]Hello Callanecc. It has been a little over a year since I was given sanctions and I wanted to appeal directly to you, as you said I could do. In the time since, I sought consensus and reverted changes only when necessary (1RR). And I will continue to avoid edit warring in the future. As for the interaction ban, I have not interacted with Aredoros87 from the time it was given, and because the user has been inactive for almost a year I believe this is no longer needed.

- Hi KhndzorUtogh. Based on your editing I'm comfortable removing the restriction that requires your to obtain consensus to readd content that has been reverted. Given that Aredoros87 hasn't edited for some time is there a particular reason why the IBAN needs to be removed? It seems unlikely that you'll need to interact with or about them.

- Thanks. When it comes to the iban, no particular reason, just thought there is no point of it hanging on my account. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 18:41, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Alright, let's leave it as is for now since it isn't causing an issue in case A87 returns. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:22, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

History of NPR patrols
[edit]Hello and thank you for granting me the NPR permission. I was curious if there is a way for me to track which pages I have patrolled after I start using the new permission? I haven't yet, but I'd like to bookmark that page if so. Iljhgtn (talk) 11:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Iljhgtn, you can see a log of pages you've marked as reviewed at [1] and a list of actions you've taken using the page curation tollbar at [2]. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:29, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
Tech News: 2025-17
[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.
Updates for editors
- Wikifunctions is now integrated with Dagbani Wikipedia since April 15. It is the first project that will be able to call functions from Wikifunctions and integrate them in articles. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of a stable and global function, rather than via a local template. [3]
- A new type of lint error has been created: Empty headings (documentation). The Linter extension's purpose is to identify wikitext patterns that must or can be fixed in pages and provide some guidance about what the problems are with those patterns and how to fix them. [4]

Updates for technical contributors
- Following its publication on HuggingFace, the "Structured Contents" dataset, developed by Wikimedia Enterprise, is now also available on Kaggle. This Beta initiative is focused on making Wikimedia data more machine-readable for high-volume reusers. They are releasing this beta version in a location that open dataset communities already use, in order to seek feedback, to help improve the product for a future wider release. You can read more about the overall Structured Contents project, and about the first release that's freely usable.
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings and events
- The Editing and Machine Learning Teams invite interested volunteers to a video meeting to discuss Peacock check, which is the latest Edit check that will detect "peacock" or "overly-promotional" or "non-neutral" language whilst an editor is typing. Editors who work with newcomers, or help to fix this kind of writing, or are interested in how we use artificial intelligence in our projects are encouraged to attend. The meeting will be on April 28, 2025 at 18:00–19:00 UTC and hosted on Zoom.
