Thanks. I was able to undo my edit to the JavaScript page because I went to view source an old edit on my JavaScript page as an IP Editor, logged in and clicked the Publish button to submit an old version of my JavaScript page. (I attempted this many times, with me instead getting logged out before I pressed published, until I scrolled down as fast as I can and when the Enforced Wikibreak message popped up, I pressed the Publish button many times and I was finally successful with undoing my edit a few seconds before it logged me out.)

Linking pages
Hello Arthurfan, I just wanted to let you know that it's usually a good idea to check the page being linked while linking a page on another page. Some of the pages you linked were linked to Disambiguation pages which may confuse the readers. Thank you and happy editing :)-BRP ever 06:10, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Question
Why did you reverse this edit? I see nothing wrong with it and actually prefer the IP's version. Naleksuh (talk) 21:34, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- There was no explanation why it was removed. Arthurfan828 - CHAT 12:16, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Personally, I feel like it reads better and makes more sense without the
need to, as it's explaining what the encyclopedia is, instead of how it should be. Although there is some edit warring and sock puppetry going on with that edit, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a bad change. Can you say why you prefer it with the need to? Naleksuh (talk) 22:09, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

- The Vector skin had a problem where you couldn't add links to the article in other languages. You couldn't see the section if there were no links to other languages already. It also removed content translation links and links to language settings. This has now been fixed. [7]
Changes later this week
- You can get a notification when someone links to a page you created. You can turn these notifications off for individual pages. You can soon turn them off also in the notifications you get. [8]

Recent changes
- Some articles have tables that can be sorted in different ways. For example a list of countries can be sorted alphabetically but you can click on the size column to sort them by size. If you clicked on the column a second time it would sort the countries from the bottom to the top instead. A third click will now take you back to the original sorting. [9]
- Self-closed tags now work as in the HTML5 specifications. This means you should stop using some of them.
<b/>is an example of a self-closed tag that won't work.area, base, br, col, embed, hr, img, input, keygen, link, meta, param, source, track, wbrcan be self-closed. Pages with tags that should not be self-closed have been listed in a tracking category since 2016. They will be listed in Special:LintErrors/self-closed-tag. This doesn't affect<references />or<ref />. [10] - There is a banner called
WikidataPageBanner. It is for example used by the Wikivoyages, Wikimedia Russia and the Catalan, Basque, Galician and Turkish Wikipedias. It will now been seen by mobile visitors too. Before this it was only seen on desktop. The wikis should update instructions onMediaWiki:Sitenoticeso that editors know to test and style for mobile too. [11][12]
Changes later this week
You can now edit MassMessage descriptions through the API. This is useful for tools and gadgets. [13]- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 June. It will be on all wikis from 11 June (calendar).
Future changes
- A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. It will not work after 13 July. Wikis should use TemplateStyles instead. 118 wikis need to fix this. You can read more and see if your wiki is affected. [14]
