MusikBot prematurely archived rollback request
[edit]Hi MusikAnimal,
I hope you're well. I’d like to bring to your attention a possible issue with MusikBot at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback.
I submitted a rollback request on 7 May 2025, but it seems the bot archived it without any admin response. I’ve been advised to notify you, as this might be an unintentional behavior.
Could you kindly look into whether this was expected behavior, or if an adjustment to the archiving logic might be needed?
Thanks for your time and work maintaining the bot!
Best regards, —— 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 19:39, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
A message from A bunch of penguins
[edit]Dear MusikAnimal,
I have normally been creating articles in my sandbox and then copy and pasting the entire thing into the Main Space when I'm done. But yesterday I noticed that you can "move" the sandbox to the page. I did that, but the sandbox page history moved with it (i.e. all the old pages I had edited are now listed in the edit history for Ken Conca). This wasn't what I intended, and I think not what is expected (or is it?). In any case, it doesn't make any sense to have all the history of the other pages I prepared in the edit history for Ken Conca).
I'm not sure what is done in cases like this, but perhaps the old records could be either moved back to my sandbox, or deleted under RD6? I'd appreciate your feedback, and if it makes sense, if you could take a moment to delete or move the logs. Thanks!

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. 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. 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.
Meetings and events
- The 2nd edition of 2025 of Afrika Baraza, a virtual platform for African Wikimedians to connect, will take place on May 15 at 17:00 UTC. This edition will focus on discussions regarding Wikimedia Annual planning and progress.
- The MENA Connect Community Call, a virtual meeting for MENA Wikimedians to connect, will take place on May 17 at 17:00 UTC. You can register now to attend.
