Hello,BRPever sir can you please created an article about Indian video demand, Name -Zee5 thank you.
- Hello Ip user, I invite you to join wikipedia as a user, creating user account. I have to say sorry about the article , I couldn't find much about the article on other wikipedias for translation and I don't have any knowledge of the subject. If you need any article we have a request page called Wikipedia:Requested pages please request any page you want there. Thanks.BRP ever 14:57, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
Patrolling categories
According to the patrol log, you marked Category:Indian comedian as patrolled. When you patrol new categories, please do the following:
- Make sure the category itself is properly categorized. This category wasn't categorized at all.
- Make sure the category has an appropriate name. A category like this should have a plural name, not a singular one.
- If the category has fewer than three entries, either 1) leave it unpatrolled or 2) flag it with {{popcat}} and leave a message for the creator (there's a template for that). This category had only one entry.
Remember that a patrolled page is supposed to be is in good condition, or have any deficiencies addressed with maintenance tags. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:43, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- Was a bit confused. But now is clear. Thanks.BRP ever 09:29, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
Only warnings
I noticed that you left an "only warning" for IP 24.56.73.162. You might not have realized, but the "only" warnings, which are level 4im warnings, are not another level of warning that you leave after a final warning. They are used when a user's vandalism is so bad (for example, cyberbullying or threats of violence) that the usual graduated warnings are not going to be used.
It can be tricky using these with an IP, because if too much time goes by before more vandalism, we start again with lower-level warnings anyway, no matter what other levels have been given. Because of that, even the "final" warning that this IP received on March 21 should have been a lower-level warning because the previous warning was over a week before. Feel free to ask any questions you have about this. --Auntof6 (talk) 15:09, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @Auntof6:, you are right. I was unaware and thought it as another level of warning, sorry about that. I thought the situation was not that bad to report so I thought of giving a warning but the thing turned out to be tricky so I made mistake. But now I think I understand about the situations. Thanks. I have one more thing to ask you. While editing I often come across the pages like this and this where pages have very little info and I might not be able to add in it and was left like that since long time. I am still confused about what should be done with these pages.BRP ever 15:50, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- I have seen that kind of page quickly deleted for containing little or no information. Articles need to contain more than an infobox. --Auntof6 (talk) 15:54, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, I marked those pages for qd. Since those page lack the basic introduction part.-BRP ever 17:34, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Adrian Salamunovic Page
Hello BRP ever, thank you for notifying me. I have added some more citation for this person. Apparently, this person has been achieved 40 under 40 award by the Ottawa business journal and has also been the communicator of the year. Please help improve this article. Thank You. User talk:Matt44Ro.
- Hello @Matt44Ro:, I saw that you added some references but still they don't seem to be quiet reliable and fails to explain much about the person in the biography. But let's see how the nomination proceeds. Thanks.BRP ever 17:07, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
You are very good using Twinkle!
Hello. You are one of the most good editors with the tool Twinkle! You are reverting vandalism, warn and reporting vandals ALWAYS with this tool! I should nominate you for an admin or give you rollback privileges for your so good changes! Thank you so much!--Psl631 Talk Contributions 14:34, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks @Psl631:, I just do what I can to keep wikipedia clean and you are right twinkle has been a great help in the process. Well I am fine with doing this and learning more and I am glad that you liked my work.BRP ever 15:05, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
Rollback
I have granted you the Rollback permission. You have been doing a good amount of anti-vandal work here lately, and you have the right already on En.wiki. I felt that it may help with your anti-vandal work here. Please only use it for clear cases of vandalism. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. -- Enfcer (talk) 19:01, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks Enfcer, I was feeling the need of this tool since the recent vandal attacks. Thanks-BRP ever 03:38, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello,BRPever can please created the Template Template:Wikiproject television The Template is available on English Wikipedia , see hare-> en:Template:Wikiproject television, thank you Global-Plus (talk)
- Hello @Global-Plus:, can you tell me where you want to use this template. If reason is proper I will ask to import the template from enwiki. Thanks-BRP ever 16:33, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Global-Plus: This Wikipedia handles WikiProjects differently from English Wikipedia. One of the differences is that we don't use this kind of template, so there's no need to create it here. --Auntof6 (talk) 17:15, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- hello sir iam using this this handle in my creation
Naagin 2 and Naagin 3, thank you Global-Plus (talk) 02:53, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hello @Global-Plus:, as Auntof6 mentioned we handle many things differently than enwiki or any other wikis. We currently have many tv series related article or other related article similar to the ones you mentioned but there was never need of those templates. And I don't think we use those templates here so sorry about that but I believe we can still make those article better without those templates. So thanks and happy editing.-BRP ever 04:10, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Redirect
Hello sir, can we redirect any article to english wikipedia. or can we add a link of english wikipedia article to simple wikipedia article. Thank you Pvsbx (talk) 07:40, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hello @Pvsbx:, you cannot redirect article to enwiki directly. Instead you can can create a simplified version of enwiki article here on simplewiki using basic english and link those articles through wikidata which is at the buttom of the bar at left hand side of page. If you wish to know more about how to write here some pages on my userpages can be helpful. Thanks-BRP ever 07:47, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you sir Pvsbx (talk) 07:49, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Watch Out...
You accidentally reverted my (correct) edit on Alan Jackson. --Eagles2664 (talk) 13:26, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Also, my edit to Akon you reverted was also correct, as Alan Jackson covered Akon at many of his concerts. --Eagles2664 (talk) 13:30, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- this was your edit reverted before mine read the reason there.-BRP ever 13:32, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Well here is a source if you want one for my claims. --Eagles2664 (talk) 13:32, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- That source doesn't seem to be much reliable. Plus your edits were making article complicated.-BRP ever 13:36, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Wrong is not Simpler. Simpler is Often Incorrect.
When people get something wrong, they often defend themselves by saying "But I was just trying to make it simpler for them," the assumption being that one must agree with the erroneous person that we are both superior to the un-named other, and must thus join the well-meaning effort to inform the poor unenlightened.
Comparative advantage is not competitive advantage. Donald Trump thinks they are the same thing. Two of his very senior advisors, Peter Navarro and Stephen Miller among others, seem to believe they are. Many people stand to gain monetarily from keeping him confused.
Competitive advantage and comparative advantage often lead in different or opposite directions. Virat Kohli is probably better at sweeping floors than I am. He is faster, stronger, and has better eyesight for catching the bits of dust I might miss. He could wipe the floor with me in a mopping competition. He has competitive advantage over me. Nevertheless, the world is a better place if he sticks to cricket and I sweep my own floor. If the President of the United States proposes a tax on cricket bats and a subsidy on plane fare in order to get Kohli to mop my kitchen, people should oppose that "reform."
Telling people that competitive advantage is related to comparative advantage when they are looking in the Simple Wikipedia is the wrong thing to do. It supports ignorance and obstructs knowledge.
Best wishes.
David Lloyd-Jones (talk) 14:51, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hello, David Lloyd-Jones I don't understand much from the message you left for me. But you said "Best wishes" so assuming it a good faith I would like to say the cause of my revert. I reverted your edits because we don't add enwiki pages in the related pages. We only add what we have here and it was of the same page too. And you added a link of enwiki in URL between the page. If you wanted to link the articles we have wikidata link for that purpose. So I reverted your edit and that message was to let you know this kind of thing is not done or accepted here.Regards and best wishes to you too-BRP ever 15:51, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
Clearing Vandalism in progress
Please don't be so quick to clear this page. Only six minutes elapsed between the time I replied to a report and the time you blanked it. We like to give some time for people to see the reply without having to go into the page history. There's no rush to clear the reports. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:15, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hello @Auntof6:, Actually I was the one who did the last report and mac blocked it some time ago. So, I thought I could clear the page after the request was fulfilled. But if you want me me to wait a while, I will. Thanks-BRP ever 16:24, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
Review
Hi bro can you review the articles recently created by me Salon Basnet, Barsha Siwakoti & Shovit Basnet . Thanks in Advance ! MTKASH (talk) 22:25, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Added Priyanka Karki . If sources are not seems to be reliable than please add-up some or let me know thanks! Jay Nepal. MTKASH (talk) 22:50, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- Namaste @MTKASH:, I don't find much articles written about Nepalese actors. Thanks for writing those. Here is a list if you wanna work on it. And about the sources, It is very hard to find reliable sources related to Nepalese actors and to make everyone sure please add as much reliable sources as you can. I did some minor correction see them and cheers let's make many articles related to Nepal.अब धेरै जाना सक्रिय नेपाली प्रयोगकर्ता यहाँ पनि नभएको र नेपाली विकिपीडियामा पनि नभएकोले तपाईंलाई स्वागत छ। If you need help leave me a message.-BRP ever 02:24, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thankyou @BRPever: ok i will work on those articles which you mentioned above & will add reliable sources as much as i can. MTKASH (talk) 06:25, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
New One
Recently Created Hari Bansha Acharya take a look at it . Thanks !! MTKASH (talk) 07:55, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- @MTKASH:, I had a look at that article and I fixed somethings but the article can still be made simpler and please use "Other websites" instead of "External link". I marked it patrolled. Thanks-BRP ever 08:28, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thankyou and i will use other website nowonwards. And i created Madan Krishna Shrestha too. MTKASH (talk) 08:30, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) @MTKASH: Hi, MTKASH. I'd like to make some other comments.
- The article should have more categories. It says the subject is a comedian, singer, and writer: add categories for those. There should be a category for his birth year and the category Category:Living people. He should also be in Category:People from Kathmandu.
- There should also be a defaultsort. You could copy the one in the English Wikipedia article.
- The article has a Wiktionary link for the word versatile, but Simple English Wiktionary has no such entry. In any case, it's better to use simpler words than to link to Wiktionary.
- References: it would be good to add more parameters to the citation templates. Good parameters to add are publisher, accessdate, and date.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:07, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thankyou @Auntof6: i’m a beginner on simple Wikipedia and gradually learning. Sorry if i’ve done any mistakes. I will try to add good parameters to the citations. Once again —Thankyou for your valueable comments. MTKASH (talk) 09:17, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- @MTKASH:, I added some birth related category, living people category and added where they are from. I replaced the word "versatile" with "adaptable" which was in Simple Wiktionary, and since the subject can adapt in various roles in movies I think this word can be used. And regarding citations read Wikipedia:Citing sources. Yes, new users may not be able to meet the requirements of the articles but the old users here are very friendly. So if you ask anyone for help, I think anyone here can help you. So, don't worry, be bold and do changes. Happy editing:)-BRP ever 10:17, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thankyou ! MTKASH 10:33, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- I changed adaptable to a description of what versatile actually means. --Auntof6 (talk) 14:47, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Yup, this one is much much simpler, I was missing a right word and it was "parts". Thanks Au6-BRP ever 15:58, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- I changed adaptable to a description of what versatile actually means. --Auntof6 (talk) 14:47, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Dear User talk:BRPever,
You requested for additional information on the subject , we provided it but some wiki user name McDonald deleted the page based on your earlier tag, probably he didn't verify the talk page.
Could you please undelete Deepak Dubey page and discuss.
AapDombivli (talk) 14:09, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- I checked the reference you gave they proved subject is a medium level social worker. Most of those sources are not reliable or are not good source. So, taking that as a note the page was unable to meet our notability guidelines. So it was deleted. I can neither delete nor undelete page, admins do that here. Thanks-BRP ever 14:28, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Thank you User talk:BRPever for your help, would request if you could help in future for creating article or modifying it so that it meets the wikipedia guidelines and not deleted.
Thank you again for your help.
Help needed
Hi there yesterday i removed lots of unreliable sources from Mark Ryan (singer-songwriter) page and there are other youtube sources and mtv sources which are not connected to him. For example: there the article said that the singer is featured in MTV and kept youtube link there but i followed the link and found out fake MTV youtube channel with just two low quality seems like local concert videos of other peoples. I have put advertisment tag there i need your help to patrol this page cause no one has patrolled that so, take a look at it and do what is right. Thanks ! MTKASH 06:39, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, I had a look and did RFD. You may find a tag over the page-BRP ever 07:29, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
I need to create an article for an update. OK?? iPad365 (talk) 01:57, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Please do not delete the article. Thank you.
- First of all I don't delete here. I just mark articles for QD but I can give you the reason the article was deleted. It was recreation of Moustafa Nour an article created in ours as well as many wikis for self promotion. We have a notability guidelines and this article or the subject of article is not notable to have a wiki article. So, stop creating that page it was your second time but if you repeat this you may be blocked. Thanks-BRP ever 15:51, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
Priya Sigdel
Macdonand has deleted Priya Sigdel who is Miss Earth Nepal and he quick deleted claiming notability. She is also in English wikipedia. I left message in his talk page i strong thinks thats unfair. MTKASHTALK Contribs 16:06, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hello @MTKASH:, the page was deleted because the references you gave on that page were for Miss Nepal shrinkhala which didn't helped to prove notability of the page. Here is what I suggest, you read the notability guidelines once, see the references in enwiki which are good and subject related and recreate page with good references of notability. Thanks-BRP ever 16:19, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- But the news links also mentioned news about Priya Sigdel. So, as per that its notable right? MTKASHTALK Contribs 16:34, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
- No, if the main subject of news is not that subject and if there is only mention of their names or if their name is just shown in a list among many people then the source is not regarded as good source.-BRP ever 16:39, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Franklin's Gardens: QD declined...
Hello, I declined your QD request for Franklin's Gardens. The intro fro the article is easy to read, and all I could see so far is that the sentences are a little long, sometimes. In my book this does not warrant Quick deletion. So, if you think the article should be deleted, please nominate it for deletion. Thank you. --Eptalon (talk) 11:37, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- yup, the intro is fine but the lower part still is a little complex but I don't think I will RFD it since it might not be that hard to simplify it and someone with a little subject related info can make the article fine:)-BRP ever 12:03, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Why you deleting SD (rapper) page?
Which things i need to fix? everything its fine i dont see nothing wrong with this page Jokrw2034 (talk) 02:03, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, hope your day is going well. You requested for deletion of this page and I would like to find out how I can edit it to stop deletion. Thank you and have a great day.
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whilly_Bermudez
- Okay, first go through our mainpage and read how to write a page properly. And then remove all the unnecessary sources and the sources linking to advertisement from the page. And remove unencyclopidic details from the page. Add suitable, reliable and independent sources and prove notability and do it all keeping article simple and easy to read. Plus note that we don't take local celebrity's articles here unless they are notable read WP: Notability to know what kind of article is notable. Thanks and if you have questions feel free to ask.-BRP ever 13:26, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Kasam
Hello, BRPever can you please added plot and cast in the Hindi television series. Name : Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki , thank you!
- Sorry, I have very little knowledge about television series and have no knowledge about this one specific. I had a look at en version of this article and the plot there is not that complex but the problem is, it is long and needs clean up. I lack the basic knowledge so can't tell what to include and what not to. So I can't help you with this article. But if you have subject related info you can trim unnecessary section and simplify a bit from en version and add here. Thanks-BRP ever 15:08, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Clearing VIP
Hey, you don't need to clear a VIP entry as soon as the user is blocked, even if you made the report. Give the blocking admin time to reply to the report so everyone has a chance to see the outcome before it's removed. Besides that, it's annoying to block and then have an edit conflict when I'm trying to reply on VIP. --Auntof6 (talk) 13:09, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Auntof6::Oh, sorry about that. I reported late and the user was already blocked before that so I thought it was an unnecessary report and removed it. Didn't know you were replying, will consider that from next time.-BRP ever 13:21, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Possible non-notable organizations
Hello BRPever, can you please take a look at Veer Foundation an article about a non-profit organization but if you look at the sources all of them are about the CNN-IBN campaign "Veer" which is unrelated to this organization and Mission Zindagi also has the same issue as the sources are about another organization named "Project Zindagi". Both articles were created by the same user who is the founder of these organizations and to me, it sounds like the creator is trying to mislead the reviewers by providing sources about a similar topic. I tried to nominate both articles for deletion but I'm unable to do so. Thank you. GSS (talk) 09:54, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks @GSS:. I nominated both of them for RFD. I checked almost all the sources and you are correct, they are misleading. You can comment in those RFDs if you want to add something.-BRP ever 11:28, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Manoj
Hi, BRPever. You might have noticed that I changed the Manoj dab page you created. If the only thing on the page is people who have the given name, then it's not a dab page. I changed the page to a given name page, which matches the enwiki page with the same content. Enwiki also has a dab page, but it has other content.
A dab page can list people with the same given name if they are all known by just that given name (without a surname). Examples of that would be people who don't/didn't have surnames (such as people who lived before they were commonly used), and people who are known by only a given name (like certain entertainers including Cher and Madonna, or people like royalty, nobility, and popes). If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:26, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @Auntof6:, actually जाट was the one who created it and I noticed the page was not categorized properly so I fixed it and added the page that I had created to the list. I was going to wait till the RFD is over and do as per enwiki but someone went ahead and created the page before me. I have not created many dab pages so these instructions will be helpful. You might have your flood flag on. I was not watching irc and it didn't appeared on RC so missed it until your note. Thanks-BRP ever 08:18, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Your changeto Susana Dosamantes
Hi, BRPever. Your recent change to this article resulted in the article being added to Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls. The problem is that there was already an image parameter in the infobox. It didn't cause any problems with the display, but I removed the duplicate parameter to get the article out of the maintenance category. Let me know if you have any quesions. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:00, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

- "The second reason is 'talk pages are not for talking to yourself'". Whatever you could mean by this I cannot fathom. My edit is not an attack on anything. It is information that you don't agree with. The content isn't inappropriate. There is no rule forbidding criticism of The Wikipedia when posting about it. The posting by The Wikipedia that I was highlighting is what is inappropriate.195.11.204.67 (talk) 18:19, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
- I don't remember wikipedia being a place for criticising anything. Are you sure you are on the right website? And my second reason was based on my common sense but my first reason is exactly why I blanked it.-BRP ever 18:40, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Why You Removed The Part of Page Pope Symmachus About this Page? LegoRoblox (talk) 11:25, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hello @LegoRoblox:, I removed that part because it was unnecessary. "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" is automatically there above every page/article and putting a section about that in the article is unnecessary.-BRP ever 11:35, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
- And if you were planning to add attribution, you can do so in the talk page. Wikipedia:Transwiki attribution has more information about that. Thanks and happy editing!-BRP ever 11:39, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

A Most Auspicious Occasion
File:Operator873 w nobg.png | Operator873's Outstanding Wikipedian Award | |
For exceptional, conspicuous, and meritorious service to the Wikipedia community, I am proud to present this award to BRPever in honor of their accomplishments which reflect great credit upon themselves and their fellow Wikipedians. On the occasion of your 14,000th Simple English Wikipedia edit. You have distinguished yourself among the community and are worthy of such recognition. I'm honored to call you a friend. Operator873talkconnect 04:22, 10 September 2018 (UTC) |
- Thanks @Operator873: I am happy to help. --BRP ever 04:32, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
Pluto is a planet
See this article for reference https://www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/news/729869/pluto-planet-status-international-astronomical-union-criticism
- (talk page stalker) Individual scientists saying so doesn't make it official. The International Astronomical Union would have to say so or change the definition of planet again. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:37, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
Notability
Hi BRPever, I recently closed (as keep) a discussion for RFD on a band What Is This?, which you argued quite correctly met the notability guidelines. There was a comment made that this was Simple and not enwiki so the guidelines were not relevant. There are guidelines on Simple for notabilty in music, so don't be afraid to use them. And as you also correctly pointed out, if there isn't a guideline here, we usually do default to an enwiki guideline. Keep up the good work.--Peterdownunder (talk) 23:43, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for fixing it and adding those sources.-BRP ever 02:22, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Successful RfA
Congratulations on passing your RfA. Final was 6/0. As a new Admin you will have access to many new buttons. I encourage you to ask your fellow admins when you are unsure how to do anything, we are all here to help. Just don't delete the Main Page, and try not to break the wiki :) .
- @Barras: I know BRPever is active in IRC, can you please add them to the access page for the Simple-Admins
- @Eptalon: Can you Reach out to BRPever and get him on the Simple Admin Mail Listserv. -- Enfcer (talk) 04:59, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks for the heads up. I'm definitely aware of twinkle and I do use it to mark pages for deletion. I typically won't use abbreviations, I like to write out why I'm requesting the deletion, it's easier than looking up an abbreviation, however, if you believe this to be disruptive or counter-productive, let me know and I'll fall in line! Necromonger Wekeepwhatwekill 19:17, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Wekeepwhatwekill:, no you are not disruptive but there are two kinds of Deletion requests, WP:Requests for deletion and WP:Quick deletion. There are some differences between them as you can see in Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Overview. So, if it is a clear-cut case using Quick deletion can be a better idea. You can put your reasons in Quick deletion requests as well. You can either add {{qd|reason}} or do it with the help of twinkle (Wikipedia:Twinkle/doc#QD_(quick_deletion):here it is explained). And this is for clear-cut cases like the ones you did yesterday. Thanks-BRP ever 03:32, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice - the edits have now been suppressed. --Peterdownunder (talk) 23:49, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
concern
Hey BPRever: Are you in the area where Hurricane Michael may strike? I'm asking just in case some regular English and Simple English Wikipedia editors may be in the path of this hurricane? Some editors' computers and houses might be damaged after Michael passes. Angela Maureen (talk) 23:22, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- No I am not. I am in Nepal so we don't have the problem of hurricane. Thanks for the concern :)-BRP ever 02:49, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [1]
- Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [2]
- You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [3]
- When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [4][5]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 5 December at 16:00 (UTC) and at 23:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Wikipedia Asian Month submissions
Hi BRPever, I've accepted all your submissions for Wikipedia Asian Month - congratulations! If you missed submitting any articles, there's a page at Meta where you can submit them until 5 December. The global organisers will be around to get your address to send you a postcard and I'll be updating you if you become the ambassador here for this year. Cheers, Hiàn (talk) 21:45, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
- yay! Thank you --BRP ever 02:44, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
- All articles have since been judged; you are the ambassador for this year's event and (I'm pretty sure) you're getting another postcard. Cheers, Hiàn (talk) 00:59, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
- Hi again BRPever. Please fill out this form before 20 January 2019 to receive your postcard - your data will be sent to the international WAM team and data will be destroyed after the postcard is sent. Cheers, Hiàn (talk) 22:26, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 December. It will be on all wikis from 13 December (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- New accounts will need passwords that are at least 8 characters long. Admins, interface admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, CentralNotice admins, global renamers, check users, stewards and some other user groups will need passwords that are at least 10 characters long. This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [6][7]
- When you hover over a footnote it will show you the reference as a pop-up. This is so you don't have to jump down to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will happen in 2019. Some wikis already have gadgets that do this. You will be able to turn it off. [8]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Tech News
- Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.
Recent changes
- Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [9][10]
- Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [11]
- The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.
Problems
<ref>
tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example<ref name="adams" group="books">
. If a<ref>
tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [12]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December (calendar).

Future changes
- The Wikimedia Foundation Android app team are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can read more about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
