Es gibt Dinge, über die ich nicht mehr diskutieren möchte:

Die Frage, warum ich auch minimale Änderungen durch Dritte an meinen Bildern strikt ablehne.
Die Frage, warum ich Sortierschlüssel für unsinnig halte, deren Auswirkungen außer für Insider durch Anwenderinnen und Anwender nicht ersichtlich sind.
Die Frage, warum ich empfindlich reagiere, wenn Dritte in meinem Namen Bilder oder Abwandlungen hochladen, ohne sich selbst als Urheber der Abwandlung zu nennen.
Die Frage, warum ich auf der Einhaltung der Lizenzbedingungen bestehe.

Zu meiner Vorgehensweise: Best practice (deutsch). Und es sei erwähnt, dass ich gleichartige und eher langweilige Änderungen mit einem Bot erledige. So manche in den Augen des Betrachters sinnlose Änderung einfacher Natur wird automatisch irgendwann wieder rückgängig gemacht, sinnvoll erscheinende oder immer wieder durch Dritte aus meiner Sicht eher unwichtige Änderungen werden von mir im Bot aufgenommen, so dass alle meine Bilder davon profitieren.

Tech News: 2025-24

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

The Trust and Safety Product team is finalizing work needed to roll out temporary accounts on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, see this update. If you have any comments or questions, write on the talk page, and join a CEE Catch Up this Tuesday.

Updates for editors

The watchlist expiry feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The preferences also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback.

Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages — Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.

The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias (some have already received this design change, a few will get these changes later). You can read details about the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt out of these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity").
Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts revealed automatically during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards.
This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of a new filter to Recent Changes, releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: Afrikaans Wikipedia, Belarusian Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, Welsh Wikipedia, Hawaiian Wikipedia, Icelandic Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia. The rollout will continue in the coming weeks to include the rest of the Wikipedias in this project.
View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

AbuseFilter editors active on Meta-Wiki and large Wikipedias are kindly asked to update AbuseFilter to make it compatible with temporary accounts. A link to the instructions and the private lists of filters needing verification are available on Phabricator.
Lua modules now have access to the name of a page's associated thumbnail image, and on some wikis to the WikiProject assessment information. This is possible using two new properties on mw.title objects, named pageImage and pageAssessments.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

The image File:Vancouver (BC, Canada), Vancouver Centerm Terminal -- 2022 -- 1902.jpg has been used in numerous articles in different languages

This image has been used in numerous articles about Stargate movies in different languages. Does it have any reason? DaylenT (talk) 22:18, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

@DaylenT: If you ask the photographer of an image, please use the user talk page. The file talk pages are only for references outside the Wikimedia world. The authors are responsible for the use in the respective Wikipedias. Please ask there. --XRay 💬 04:47, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

By city

Moin! Was sagst du zu den letzten Änderungen in dieser und dieser Kategorie? Gleiches hier. Die nehme ich zumindest an von dir erstellten by city Kategorien wurden in dem gleichen Atemzug auch gelöscht. Ich meine vielleicht wurde das vorher diskutiert? Hast du da etwas mitbekommen? Gruß Lukas Beck (talk) 13:50, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Meine Motivation zu diskutieren hält sich ehrlich gesagt in Grenzen. Es gibt so viele Ansichten und Vorgehensweisen, ein richtig oder falsch ist kaum auszumachen. --XRay 💬 17:44, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Ich habe hier geantwortet: Category talk:Apiales in Germany by city. Irgendwie sind diese verstreuten Kommentare schwer zu handhaben. --XRay 💬 18:48, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
