Navigation popups

The Navigation popups gadget allows easier access to several Wikipedia features as "popups" which appear when you hover the mouse over links. With this useful tool, when you hover your mouse cursor over a wikilink you can see a preview of the article or image; plus you can activate convenient functions such as going directly to the talk, edit, or history pages.

To use the navigation popups gadget you must be logged in under your own user account and turn on the gadget in your Preferences, available at the top right of your screen. In your preferences you will find navigation popups under Gadgets, Browsing gadgets. Full instructions are on the Navigation popups page.

Question from Zoia222 (16:03, 6 June 2025)

[edit]

Few days ago my submission on the article about Draft:Passat Ltd company was declined (3rd time) because of references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. I've already edited references as much as I could. So, please, explain to me why they are not qualified, because, from my perspective, a few of them definitely meet those 4 criteria. 1) "Global Diode-pumped Solid-state Laser (DPSSL) Market Competitive Landscape 2025-2032". www.statsndata.org. Retrieved 2025-05-16. This article is a detailed market intelligence report offering data, trends, and strategic insights into the DPSS Lasers industry's current state and future outlook. In-depth The website Stats N Data (statsndata.org) is a market‐research provider based in India, offering syndicated and custom research reports across industries. Reliable and Independent The Stats N Data report mentions Passat Ltd. as one of the key players in the Diode‑Pumped Solid‑State Laser (DPSSL) industry. Secondary Same with others: 2) "Global Subnanosecond Lasers Market Insights - Industry Share, Sales Projections, and Demand Outlook 2024-2030". qyresearch.in. Retrieved 2025-05-16. The article is a comprehensive analytical report offering detailed insights, data projections, segmentation, and competitive analysis for the global sub-nanosecond laser market through 2030. QYResearch is a well-known market research firm based in China, with a global presence. In this article, Passat Ltd. is listed among the major global manufacturers of sub-nanosecond lasers. 3) "Unveiling Faraday Rotators and Isolators Growth Patterns: CAGR Analysis and Forecasts 2025-2033". 4) Boucher, Marc (2009-11-12). "Details of Canadian Space Agency Research and Development Contracts Released". SpaceQ Media Inc. Retrieved 2025-05-16. Overall, I have more then a few references with independent, reliable, secondary and in-depth sources. Therefore, I want to know what exactly, in your opinion, doesn't meet the required criteria? --Zoia222 (talk) 16:03, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Zoia222 Thank you for your question. The reasons for the three declines were posted in your talk page and draft page in highlighted links. I have reviewed your article and declined the article to be accepted in Wikipedia main space. No single source provided is considered an independent, reliable source. To have a page in Wikipedia, the subject needs to have significant coverage from indepdnent reliable sources where by the sources talk about the subject in length and depth and not passing mentioned for verification. Please note that sources from major newspapers and books are usually considered reliable; however, sources from org, edu, private companies, institutions, marketing agencies, social media, and official websites, blogs, and personal web pages are considered unreliable and/or not independent. Stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 03:43, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Joseph Odeleye (01:47, 7 June 2025)

[edit]

Why was my article up for deletion --Joseph Odeleye (talk) 01:47, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

:Joseph Odeleye (talk page stalker) Hi. I tagged your user page for CSD under 2 criteria, U5 and G11. I found your user page to be entirely advertising and read more like a resume than an actual, standard article (which would also be an autobiography anyway, which we strongly discourage). Wikipedia does not allow advertising, and user pages are not free-reign for users (although they are given lee-way, see WP:UPYES. I hope this helps, and please reply if you have any questions.

Tech News: 2025-24

[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 Trust and Safety Product team is finalizing work needed to roll out temporary accounts on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, see this update. If you have any comments or questions, write on the talk page, and join a CEE Catch Up this Tuesday.

Updates for editors

  • Wishlist item The watchlist expiry feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The preferences also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback. [1]
Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages
Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.
  • The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias (some have already received this design change, a few will get these changes later). You can read details about the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt out of these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). [2][3]
  • Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts revealed automatically during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards. [4]
  • This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of a new filter to Recent Changes, releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: Afrikaans Wikipedia, Belarusian Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, Welsh Wikipedia, Hawaiian Wikipedia, Icelandic Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia. The rollout will continue in the coming weeks to include the rest of the Wikipedias in this project. [5]
  • Recurrent item View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

  • AbuseFilter editors active on Meta-Wiki and large Wikipedias are kindly asked to update AbuseFilter to make it compatible with temporary accounts. A link to the instructions and the private lists of filters needing verification are available on Phabricator.
  • Lua modules now have access to the name of a page's associated thumbnail image, and on some wikis to the WikiProject assessment information. This is possible using two new properties on mw.title objects, named pageImage and pageAssessments. [6][7]
  • Recurrent item Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Weekly Tasks

Question from Jabba550 (20:03, 10 June 2025)

[edit]

So is my account a all round login or did I screw up and I need to make a multi-wiki account --Jabba550 (talk) 20:03, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jabba550Good day. You only need one account and password to edit all Wikipedia sites, including sister projects in different languages on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Wikipedia will log all your edits on the respective sites accordingly. If you have questions about a specific Wikipedia site, such as the Russian language site, you should visit that site to seek assistance. See here your edit info. It is important to provide your email address on your "Preferences" page, allowing you to request a password reset if you forget your password. To access this, click on the "human icon" in the top-right corner of any Wikipedia page and select the drop-down menu. Lastly, it is not advisable to create multiple accounts without a valid reason. I hope this information is helpful. Cassiopeia talk 22:33, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interested in joining WP:Counter vandalism unit

[edit]

Will you be tutoring me about counter vandalism at wikipedia. I am based in India and really look forward to it. Thanks in advance. AbhijnanGhosh87 (talk) 19:54, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AbhijnanGhosh87 Good day, and thank you for your interest in the CVUA program. To join the program, an editor must have a minimum of 200 mainspace edits; as of today, you have 142. Additionally, since you were blocked for 72 hours on May 27, 2025, for being uncivil to another editor and for removing sourced content, you will need to wait an additional six months from the date the block is lifted (December 1, 2025) before you can join the program. Please note that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not a social platform. There are guidelines that must be followed when editing Wikipedia pages. The core policy of Wikipedia states that editors who change or add content must provide independence and reliable sources to support their claims for verification—see also WP:BURDEN. It is also essential to remain civil when communicating with other editors; focus on the subject matter rather than the individual. Since you are new to Wikipedia, I strongly recommend that you take the WP:TWA short program (30 minutes) to familiarize yourself with some of the important fundamental guidelines of Wikipedia, which will assist you in your editing. Once you meet the two requirements in six months, and if you are still interested in joining the CVUA program, please return here and let me know. Stay safe and best wishes.
