Request to copy Common.css from plwiki to szlwiki

Status:    Done

(Redirected from GR) Hi, I'd like to request copying Polish common.css to Silesian common.css. I've asked the admin of the Silesian Wikipedia to do it not knowing he doesn't have permissions for it, so he sent me here.

No changes are necessary since we port templates from the Polish Wikipedia. I've already checked if the stylesheet works by using it as a personal CSS and everything looks okay. --Uostofchuodnego (talk) 15:36, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Is there a local consensus on the change?--WikiBayer 👤💬 06:02, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

I think that this is a purely technical request. It does not require local consensus. Ruslik (talk) 08:27, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
There's just the admin and me, and we both agree.--Uostofchuodnego (talk) 15:59, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
@Uostofchuodnego:I saw that the slzwiki common.css also contained formatting that did not occur in the plwiki common.css. I have kept these.
Write if the templates are working properly now.--WikiBayer 👤💬 17:52, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
@WikiBayer: Everything seems to be okay. Thank you! --Uostofchuodnego (talk) 18:23, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Password and my account

Status:    Not done

Hello, I have been contributing to Wikipedia for about a year without logging out. And now I realized that I can’t remember the password and enter my e-mail, because it was not filled during registration, and now entering a new one requires "you need to confirm your identity" password. [2]. I’m afraid to log out and lose all the work I have done. I have another account Kurtapelatur, maybe it'll help. Is it possible to migrate all of the wikis with a non-zero contribution from Kookdans in Kurtapelatur? Please help me continue to work on Wikipedia. --Kookdans (talk) 09:16, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Kookdans, Since you're currently logged in your account, you can be able to change the password. Go to w:ru:Special:PasswordReset and use it to get new (temporary) password in your email. Then use that password to create personal, stronger one. –Ammarpad (talk) 15:15, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
My e-mail is not recorded. This is displayed:[3]. Your reset link w:ru:Special:PasswordReset does not work. Displayed: for the participant with the name Kookdans email address has not been specified. I can't reset the password like that. Is it possible to migrate all of the wikis with a non-zero contribution from Kookdans in Kurtapelatur? --Kookdans (talk) 18:09, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
No E-mail and no password ist very bad. You can try to recover your account via Wikimedia. By thy 2FA, the wikimedia offer to remove the second factor. Maybe they will find a way to recover your account in your case as well. There is no other option.--WikiBayer 👤💬 18:26, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
You say you're already logged in. So go to w:ru:Special:Preferences (or even Special:Preferences) and provide valid email address now. After that you can use Special:PasswordRes to reset the password. –Ammarpad (talk) 19:27, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

@Trijnstel:, Is it possible to migrate all of the wikis with a non-zero contribution from Kookdans in Kurtapelatur?.I asked a WMF question. So you can’t do this to me? Will you help me? --Kookdans (talk) 11:50, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

No, that's not possible. But perhaps the WMF can help you restoring the password. That's why I pinged Joe/Fox. Trijnsteltalk 11:54, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
Because after migration they will need to re-unify their account. To do this they will need to enter the passwords for all migrated local accounts, which are same as one of Kookdans global account. Ruslik (talk) 19:53, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Not done Closing as the stewards can do nothing in this case. Ruslik (talk) 19:55, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Sending an email to ca(_AT_)wikimedia.org would get you to those who can actually do this for you. — regards, Revi 03:01, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Unblock DannyS712 on mediawiki

Hi. I was testing an edit filter and got myself blocked. I'm an admin on mediawiki. I tried to post to ask for unblocking, but I don't have talk page access, and autoblock is enabled. Please help. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 07:21, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Upgrade

Status:    Done

Hello, I am admin of Zazaki Wikipediya, we should renew and update diq:MediaWiki:Vector.css and diq:MediaWiki:Common.css pages, the system has some problems, but we aren't entitled to do so, may someone help us please? Vuzorg (talk) 04:55, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

What exactly do you want us to do? Ruslik (talk) 08:54, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
@Vuzorg:--WikiBayer 👤💬 17:06, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

There are some problems in Zazaki Wikipedia, we should resolve them but as local admins, we aren't entitled to do so

  1. There is no title from the wikipedia, free encyclopedia on the top of any article in Zazaki Wikipedia.
  2. Another problem arises on the tab, there are quotation marks on every articles of Zazaki wikipedia on the tab, there are not quotation marks on any other wikipedia
  3. There is no Zazaki language's local names on the 'other languages' button, I mean Zazaki is Zazaki in all other language buttons, not in local names such as Zazaish (en), zazaca (turkish ) etc, third problem arises on 'read in other languages' part, on the bottom left of the page. Vuzorg (talk) 13:20, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
In regard to the languages thing, that is standard. I'm likely not going to make the edit myself, but please answer this question for whoever does: How would you say "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia." in Zazaki? Best regards, Vermont (talk) 13:25, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is wikipediya ra, ensiklopediya xosere in Zazaki. Vuzorg (talk) 14:46, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Vuzorg, I have fixed the quotes thing: diq:MediaWiki:Pagetitle, but then I realised that you only need regular admin rights to edit that. So could you add the from Wikipedia string yourself, please? It is diq:Mediawiki:Tagline. Tip, if you append "?uselang=qqx" to any Wikipedia page URL you will see the page with interface message names rather than the messages themselves. Please remember that unless it is something specific to Zazaki *Wikipedia* only all translations to Zazaki should be done on translatewiki.net. --Base (talk) 09:51, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
I see, the tagline was explicitly hidden in diq:MediaWiki:Common.css. I have deleted the respective style rule. --Base (talk) 09:56, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Thank you so much, it was an important problem in Zazaki Wikipedia for a long time. I'm admin of Zazaki Wikipedia but I can't edit this page diq:Mediawiki:Tagline and diq:MediaWiki:Pagetitle, because of this I wanted help from here. I used this ?uselang=qqx, but there is From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on the maing page, i shouldn't be on the maing page, how can I remove it from main page? Vuzorg (talk) 10:41, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Vuzorg, Done. So to be precise to display the tagline a CSS rule had to be added, what I initially thought was the problem was actually the rule about the main page, but that rule had a typo so it didn't work when I added the tagline. Now I have fixed it and I believe this completes this request. Thanks for reaching out :) --Base (talk) 21:25, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

HIGH PRIORITY: Closure of Bulgarian Wikinews

Status:    Done

See Proposals for closing projects/Deletion of Bulgarian Wikinews and phab:T233322. The latter has the link to the confirmation from the Board.
As a first step, we need access to the wiki mainly blocked, and then for someone to do some substantial cleanup. There is someone who will do that, and/or will guide stewards on that. Question I raised at Phabricator and repeat here: What is the best way to do this?

  • Can stewards full-protect the project? Then sysop flag can be withdrawn from all but the one sysop who will do the cleanup.
  • Alternatively, should project be locked from Phabricator, then this same sysop be given some flag that will get around that (local steward, briefly? something else?)?
  • Alternatively, should project be locked from Phabricator, then this same sysop instructs stewards what to delete?

Thank you for your prompt attention. For LangCom: StevenJ81 (talk) 14:08, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Update: Wiki being closed for editing except by sysops at Phabricator. Will add request to desysop people not involved in the cleanup at SRP. StevenJ81 (talk) 16:09, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Edit request for dk-wikimedia's common.css

Status:    Done

The wiki for Wikimedia Denmark does not have any interface administrators, and in the interest of not cluttering up the common.css, I'm trying to use TemplateStyles instead when neccessary. However, I need to hide the header of the page Vedtægter, something which I believe can only be done on the Common.css-level. The following code block needs to be edited:

body.page-Forside h1.firstHeading { 
 display:none; 
}

I think the following should do it, but if a Steward with CSS knowledge knows better, feel free to alter it as neccessary. If there's a way to do it without editing Common.css that would be fine as well, but I haven't been able to find one.

body.page-Forside h1.firstHeading,
body.page-Vedtægter h1.firstHeading { 
 display:none; 
}
The WMDK wiki is generally used as a website for the association and a workspace for the members, which in practice means that certain decisions regarding the site are made by the Board (see Appendix I to the Rules of Order), which is why no link to a community consensus has been provided.

@CptViraj: generally we would ask for a consensus, though as it is a pretty universal gadget, so I am putting it into place. As a non-gu speaker, I will do a trade with you! If you can pop over to Wikimaniawiki and do some gu translations at wmania:Wikimania:Mediawiki pages with translations/gu, esp. the HotCat translation, then I can move that over, and have wikimaniawiki more complete  — billinghurst sDrewth 08:17, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Other bg.wn articles not having copyvio issues

Status:    Done

The article n:bg:Коментари:Почина архитектът Сезар Пели has just one line, lacking value in any way, especially quality-wise. I think it should be deleted. George Ho (talk) 04:57, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Same with n:bg:Раул Кастро (created Dec 2016), which looks like some stub Bulgarian encyclopedic article about Raul Castro. It doesn't tell news or explain something that is newsworthy.

n:bg:Празници appears to be a Bulgarian definition of wikt:en:holiday, so it should belong, i.e. be transferred, to Bulgarian Wiktionary. Doesn't look newsworthy, especially for ru.wn.

I don't know whether some article about an open letter to a local government (n:bg:Варненски НПО разпространиха отворено писмо до институциите) is up to journalistic standards, and I don't know whether ru.wn would accept it. George Ho (talk) 18:18, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
