Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-06
| The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article! .jpg) Timurid architecture was an important stage in the architectural history of Iran and Central Asia during the late 14th and 15th centuries. The Timurid Empire (1370–1507), founded by Timur (d. 1405) and conquering most of this region, oversaw a cultural renaissance. In architecture, the Timurid dynasty patronized the construction of palaces, mausoleums, and religious monuments across the region. Their architecture is distinguished by its grand scale, luxurious decoration in tilework, and sophisticated geometric vaulting. This architectural style, along with other aspects of Timurid art, spread across the empire and subsequently influenced the architecture of other empires from the Middle East to the Indian subcontinent.

Tech News: 2024-06
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
- The mobile site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to the phabricator task.
- On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity. Learn more about "action blocks". [1][2]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar). [3][4]- Talk pages permalinks that included diacritics and non-Latin script were malfunctioning. This issue is fixed. [5]
Future changes
- 24 Wikipedias with Reference Tooltips as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make Reference Previews the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings. [6][7]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-07
| The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!  The Adoration of the Magi is a tondo, or circular painting, of the Adoration of the Magi assumed to be that recorded in 1492 in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence as by Fra Angelico. It dates from the mid-15th century and is now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Most art historians think that Filippo Lippi painted more of the original work, and that it was added to some years after by other artists, as well as including work by assistants in the workshops of both the original masters. It has been known as the Washington Tondo and Cook Tondo after Herbert Cook, and this latter name in particular continues to be used over 50 years after the painting left the Cook collection.

FerienBot3 error
Hi, I noticed FerienBot3 made an error here: special:diff/8915468. The comments are no longer readable. Kk.urban (talk) 05:30, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Kk.urban: thanks, I've fixed that error. The error seems to have resulted from the {{s}} template as simply replacing them with <s> and </s> solved the issue, rather than an issue with the bot. --Ferien (talk) 22:25, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
You can take off this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{YGM}} template.

Buses
Hey Ferien. How is it going with adding the new bus information and getting new pictures of the not so orange color schemes I read on the news? :) Thanks - Da LambTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 13:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hey PotsdamLamb, I try to add more bus stuff here when I have the time! I'm not sure whether I'm just being slow or tired but I don't know which orange (or not orange) colour schemes you are talking about. Is it the was previously maybe going to be orange but now yellow buses they are repainting in Manchester for the Bee Network? Is it that Glasgow might bring their buses back under public control (and make them orange in the process)? Cardiff Bus? Or perhaps the unfortunate "Stagecoach Distance" livery...? :P --Ferien (talk) 20:34, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- All of the above! Lol Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 21:43, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2024-09
| The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article! The doorway effect is a known psychological event where a person's short-term memory declines when passing through a doorway moving from one location to another when it would not if they had remained in the same place. People experience this effect by forgetting what they were going to do, thinking about, or planning upon entering a different room. This is thought to be due to the change in one's physical environment, which is used to distinguish boundaries between remembered events: memories of events encountered in the present environment are more accessible than those beyond it.

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
- The mobile visual editor is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis. Research shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as well. [22]
- The mw.config value
wgGlobalGroupsnow only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is:if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups"))). [23]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be on all wikis from 29 February (calendar). [24][25]
Future changes
- The right to change edit tags (
changetags) will be removed from users in Wikimedia sites, keeping it by default for admins and bots only. Your community can ask to retain the old configuration on your wiki before this change happens. Please indicate in this ticket to keep it for your community before the end of March 2024.
