Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Txbiassss
Hey Roy, I hope you're doing well. I just archived Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Txbiassss, and, immediately after archiving, realised that the case move was done as a section move as opposed to a case move, with the page history still living under a redirect at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/KIENGIR, which is otherwise empty. Not sure whether that was intentional (and if it wasn't, whether it needs fixing), but I thought I'd bring it up because it struck me as unusual and I'm not entirely sure what to do with it. Best, Blablubbs|talk 19:39, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Blablubbs, I suppose it should have been done as a case move. To be honest, however, I'm sure there are other clerks who are more expert at such process details than I am. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Blablubbs, I didn't give you a very good answer the first time. My apologies. What I was thinking was that if this was a brand new case, I would have moved the entire case, but since it was an existing case, I just moved the one section. Of course, it was really the one and only section. So, yeah, moving the entire case would probably have been the right thing to do. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:30, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- No worries, thanks for the explanation. :) Blablubbs|talk 18:05, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

SPI
Hello – I started an SPI here. Did I do it correctly? It's the first SPI I've started, so let me know if there are any errors. – DarkGlow • 12:08, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- DarkGlow, It looks fine to me, thanks for filing it. I see you used Twinkle, which is good; that takes care of getting all the fidgetly formatting bits correct. This one looks like a no-brainer. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:36, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm experienced with Twinkle but had never used the SPI tool on it so I thought I'd try it, on like you said, a no-brainer. Thanks for checking it out! – DarkGlow • 12:38, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
Tech News: 2021-16
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
- Email to the Wikimedia wikis are handled by groups of Wikimedia editors. These volunteer response teams now use Znuny instead of OTRS. The functions and interface remain the same. The volunteer administrators will give more details about the next steps soon.
- If you use syntax highlighting, you can see line numbers in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors when editing templates. This is to make it easier to see line breaks or talk about specific lines. Line numbers will soon come to all namespaces.
Because of a technical change there could be problems with gadgets and scripts that have an edit summary area that looks similar to this one. If they look strange they should use mw.loader.using('mediawiki.action.edit.styles')to go back to how they looked before.- The latest version of MediaWiki came to the Wikimedia wikis last week. There was no Tech News issue last week.
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- The user group
oversightwill be renamedsuppress. This is for technical reasons. This is the technical name. It doesn't affect what you call the editors with this user right on your wiki. This is planned to happen in two weeks. You can comment in Phabricator if you have objections.

INTSF investigations
Hi RoySmith, I understand there's a large SPI backlog, but regarding the INTSF cases, could action be quickly taken on the IP range including 183.90.36.65 (talk · contribs)? They've gone from the usual disruption to also following me to other articles . Best, CMD (talk) 11:13, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
