Centralizing project discussion

When a project includes multiple operational pages, it is generally best to redirect their discussion pages to the main discussion page for the project. That way, participants remain aware of what is going on with the project without having to search out every nook and cranny where discussions may be taking place.

The exception to this strategy is when a task is delegated that would generate a great deal of discussion, and centralizing it with the project's other discussions would create a discussion page of unmanageable size.

Question from ArtocarpusOdoratissimusTarap on Durio testudinarius (12:08, 9 May 2025)

[edit]

Hi! I fixed a typo in durio testudinarius but it wouldn’t update, can you find out why? --ArtocarpusOdoratissimusTarap (talk) 12:08, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ArtocarpusOdoratissimusTarap: I think by far the most likely reason is that you made some mistake, such as clicking the preview button instead of the "Publish changes" button, for example, though very rarely a software glitch can cause an edit to not save. Can you try saving the edit again? JBW (talk) 16:16, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
JBW Hi! Thanks for replying to my comment! I will try doing that! ArtocarpusOdoratissimusTarap (talk) 01:28, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, i tried changing the latin name above the conservation status but it wouldn’t update. Is there a problem (if this helps, im using mobile) ArtocarpusOdoratissimusTarap (talk) 01:41, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We do not "fix" scientific names. We follow what the sourcce material uses. If the source material doesn't match gender, then we don't either. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:06, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@UtherSRG and JBW:Hi! I know it’s me again, but do you think “Yeafofthedurian” and “hornbill dispersed fruit of borneo” are good sources for some of the durio spp cause i know the former does a lot of research but the latter? I doubt it. --ArtocarpusOdoratissimusTarap (talk) 13:53, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi sir, I want to be your student for New Page Patrol School. Hope you would accept my studentship. Thanks Destinyokhiria (talk) 20:49, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Am Back Destinyokhiria (talk) 18:40, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Destinyokhiria. Good day. NPPS covers topics such as sources, notability, SSN, article content, AfD, CSD, communication, article creation, verifiability, and many more subjects that will assist a patroller in reviewing new articles on Wikipedia.
There are 10 assignments and one final exam in the NPPS program, and most participants take about three months to complete it. However, there is no time limit for completing the program, as each participant works at their own pace. Since NPPS is a comprehensive program, it will require a significant amount of your time to complete the assignments and read the guidelines so let me know, and if you still want to proceed with the program. Stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 08:12, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Danfam29 (04:26, 12 May 2025)

[edit]

Hi and thank you

Where di I start to write an article? --(talk) 04:26, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Danfam29 Good day. I believe your question is about how to write an article in Wikipedia. In order for a subject to warrant a page in the main space of Wikipedia, it must fulfill the criteria outlined in the Wikipedia guideline on notability, specifically the General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG).
GNG is defined as the subject must fulfill specific criteria to demonstrate significant coverage from independent and reliable sources. These sources should provide in-depth discussions about the subject rather than merely offering passing mentions. This requirement is essential for verification, which is a core policy of Wikipedia. If a source is affiliated/associated/connected with the subject—such as the subject's marketing team, company, social media platforms, information in interviews of the subject or any self-published information—this indicates a lack of independence. Consequently, such sources cannot be utilized to satisfy the notability guidelines. Sources originating from educational institutions, government entities, foundations, social media platforms, and private companies are regarded as unreliable. In contrast, materials published by "major" newspapers and "reputable" books are typically considered reliable sources.
I recommend that you read WP:Your first article and adhere to the provided instructions before beginning the creation of an article. Cassiopeia talk 07:52, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2025-05-12. Missed the previous one? See issue #678.

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

Tool of the week

  • Wdactle game -- is a Wikidata version of Redactle! It's a game where you are shown a Wikidata Item with all labels and words redacted and have to figure out what it is. Guessing a word reveals all the places where it is used. Built by Luca Werkmeister during the Wikimedia Hackathon 2025.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

  • ⚠️ Wikidata Query Service graph split: As you know Wikidata Query Service was no longer able to handle the complete set of data Wikidata has. To address this the graph in Wikidata Query Service has now been split into a main graph (that continues to be at query.wikidata.org) and a scholarly graph (that is at query-scholarly.wikidata.org). For more details please see Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split.
  • Join the Wikidata:Impact stories global campiagn. We're celebrating the amazing Wikidata community - editors, developers, librarians, and creators - and inviting you to share how Wikidata is used. Your story can inspire others and grow the community. Submit yours or nominate a cool project by June 6.

  • Wikibase REST API: We are working on phrase matching for the simple search (phab:T389011)
  • Dark mode: We fixed a color contrast bug with the entity selector when making new statements (phab:T393641)

Weekly Tasks

Tech News: 2025-20

[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.

Weekly highlight

  • The "Get shortened URL" link on the sidebar now includes a QR code. Wikimedia site users can now use it by scanning or downloading it to quickly share and access shared content from Wikimedia sites, conveniently.

Updates for editors

  • The Wikimedia Foundation is working on a system called Edge Uniques, which will enable A/B testing, help protect against distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS attacks), and make it easier to understand how many visitors the Wikimedia sites have. This is to help more efficiently build tools which help readers, and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. Tech News has previously written about this. The deployment will be gradual. Some might see the Edge Uniques cookie the week of 19 May. You can discuss this on the talk page.
  • Starting May 19, 2025, Event organisers in wikis with the CampaignEvents extension enabled can use Event Registration in the project namespace (e.g., Wikipedia namespace, Wikidata namespace). With this change, communities don't need admins to use the feature. However, wikis that don't want this change can remove and add the permitted namespaces at Special:CommunityConfiguration/CampaignEvents.
  • The Wikipedia project now has a Wikipedia in Nupe (w:nup:). This is a language primarily spoken in the North Central region of Nigeria. Speakers of this language are invited to contribute to new Wikipedia.
  • Recurrent item View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Developers can now access pre-parsed Dutch Wikipedia, amongst others (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese) through the Structured Contents snapshots (beta). The content includes parsed Wikipedia abstracts, descriptions, main images, infoboxes, article sections, and references.
  • The /page/data-parsoid REST API endpoint is no longer in use and will be deprecated. It is scheduled to be turned off on June 7, 2025.
  • Recurrent item Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

In depth

  • The IPv6 support is a newly introduced Cloud virtual network that significantly boosts Wikimedia platforms' scalability, security, and readiness for the future. If you are a technical contributor eager to learn more, check out this blog post for an in-depth look at the journey to IPv6.
