Holiday Greetings
[edit]
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. It's been a while. Hope all is well! ―Buster7 ☎

- Tech News: The Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for experiments to showcase and get user feedback on product experiments; The Moderator Tools team will launch a new filter to Recent Changes, starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. More updates from Tech News week 21 and 22.
- Abstract Wikipedia: A community-wide discussion for the development of Abstract Wikipedia is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content, and every opinion is welcomed.
- Temporary accounts: Admins, bureaucrats, or stewards will be manually granting access to temporary account IP addresses to users without certain extended rights. Previously, these users were gaining this right automatically. The decision to change this was made by the Trust and Safety Product team after discussing with almost 20 large Wikipedia communities and Meta-Wiki. See the full message about the change. In addition, the team is finishing work which unblocks rollouts on large wikis. A series of deployments will be happening in June. See the latest project update to learn about the satisfaction survey, related changes to features and tools, and more.
- Wikifunctions: Wikifunctions is deployed on five Wiktionaries: Hausa, Igbo, Bengali, Malayalam, and Dhivehi/Maldivian. Users of the five projects are now allowed to call on Wikifunctions' functions freely from their user interface.
- WikiGames: A daily trivia game called WikiGames is coming to the Wikipedia Android app. It invites users to test their knowledge by guessing which historical event happened first based on real events from Wikipedia's "On this day" content. The game's goal is to help new audiences discover a preferred destination for discovering, engaging, and building encyclopedic content. It has been gradually rolled out as an A/B test to 50% of users in English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
- Wikimedia Cloud VPS: We have introduced IPv6 to the cloud virtual network, enhancing the platform's scalability, security, and future-readiness.
- CampaignEvents extension: Two new features Invitation Lists and Collaboration List that allow organizers to promote events and WikiProjects on the wikis are now available.

Why not NDA should be on top of Party and Alliances.
[edit]I don't wanna make things complex for anyone so here is the simple cover, having parties name on top of "Party and Alliances" column shows the superiority, NDA which is in power in Bihar has done nothing but using Bihar as a vote bank. This page gives information about Bihar Legislative Assembly Election 2025, so the general public sentiment is not with NDA, and general public don't wanna see NDA as superiors. Let me give you an example: Mr modi visited Bihar and in his speech he mentioned "He will start 4 more train from Bihar to Gujarat, so 'specifically श्रमिक' can travel easily to Gujarat.". What "श्रमिक" mean here, the simple word for that is Laboure can travel easily to Gujarat. It's really easy for him to open Industries in Bihar but what he did introduced new train so Gujarat can get more cheap Laboure. And in this no NDA Alliance member said "No, we will open industries in Bihar, not more trains". So, this is my whole reason "Why NDA or Mahagathbandhan" should not be on top of "Party and Alliances". Jordan Logs (talk) 20:50, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
