Question from Hairyback7 (02:09, 30 April 2024)

Hello. Do you have any suggestions for how to learn to edit using the code style editing format? So far I've just been using the visual aid, but I would like to learn to use the code (or whatever you call it), and I'm wondering what resources are available. Thanks. --Hairyback7 (talk) 02:09, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Hairyback7, I assume you mean the source editor; you can try that link for a simple guide, or Help:Wikitext (also known as wikimarkup and wikicode) for a more detailed guide, and of course I will be happy to answer any specific questions you may have. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:06, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from NoahWerden (21:46, 30 April 2024)

How do I cite sources and stuff? --NoahWerden (talk) 21:46, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

NoahWerden, see Help:Referencing for beginners, and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. — Qwerfjkltalk 13:01, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

CFDlister bug

Hi Qwerfjkl! Since ~yesterday, there has been a bug with CFDlist when listing discussions without using one-click closes. If you go to e.g. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 24#Category:Arab-Jewish diaspora and click "list discussion", instead of prefilling with

* [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 24#Category:Arab-Jewish diaspora]]
Result: '''rename'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
; [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 24]]
* [[:Category:Arab-Jewish diaspora]]
* [[:Category:Arab-Jewish diaspora in France‎]]
* [[:Category:Arab-Jewish diaspora in the United States‎]]
</syntaxhighlight>

It prefills with

* [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 24#Category:Arab-Jewish diaspora]]
Result: '''RESULT'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
; [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 24]]
* <div class="boilerplate cfd vfd xfd-closed mw-archivedtalk" style="background-color:#bff9fc; margin:0 auto; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #AAAAAA;">
* ''The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. <span style="color:red">'''Please do not modify it.'''</span> Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's [[Help:Using talk pages|talk page]] or in a [[Wikipedia:Deletion review|deletion review]]). No further edits should be made to this section.''
* ''The result of the discussion was:'' <!-- Template:Cfd top --> <small>([[Wikipedia:Non-admin closure|non-admin closure]])</small> <b>[[User:HouseBlaster|House]][[Special:Contributions/HouseBlaster|<span style="color:#7D066B;">Blaster</span>]]</b> ([[User talk:HouseBlaster|talk]] · he/him) 02:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
* [[:Category:Arab-Jewish diaspora]]
* [[:Category:Arab-Jewish diaspora in France‎]]
* [[:Category:Arab-Jewish diaspora in the United States‎]]
</syntaxhighlight>

It is not super hard to fix manually on each listing, but I would appreciate a bug fix :) Best, HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 20:02, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #626

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2024-05-06.
Translations are available.

Discussions

Events

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

Tool of the week

  • Wikidata periodic table - Tool by User:Ricordisamoa, to browse all chemical elements available on Wikidata, with atomic number, chemical symbol, and localized label. It also includes two charts of the nuclides, with links to every isotope in Wikidata, colored by half-life or decay mode.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

  • A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool. Some experience with editing Wikidata is appreciated, but no experience working with Schemas is required. If you are interested, you can sign up here. We hope to begin interviews around May 13. For more details, visit User:M.alten.tue

watchlistemail... bug?

Thanks (again) for the watchlist tool. I'm curious, though; I've noticed a few times now that WP:BN doesn't trigger a notification when Lowercase sigmabot III archives a thread, but I get notifications for just about every other talk page that gets archived. Any idea what could be causing this? Primefac (talk) 15:18, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Primefac, nothing that I can see (though unrelatedly while looking at the logs I noticed BottleOfChocolateMilk got flagged as a bot). — Qwerfjkltalk 15:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Hah! Yeah, I did notice that, wasn't hitting my watchlist often enough to mention anything. Primefac (talk) 15:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Semantic AI (23:50, 9 May 2024)

How do I upload a new company logo? We rebranded a few years ago from Semantic Research to Semantic AI. --Semantic AI (talk) 23:50, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Semantic AI, I suspect it would be Wikipedia:Fair use so would need to be uploaded locally on the English Wikipedia at an acceptably low resolution; I would suggest you enquire at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content for a more knowledgeable opinion.
You seem to be representing your company; please note that per WP:CORPNAME this username is not allowed. I would suggest you create a new account with an appropriate username, and abandon this account. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
