| Thanks for your lightning talk at the WMUK AGM. As another piece of evidence FYI, here's another that I just encountered. It shows how the new user experience is not the same that we veterans get and how it might not be appreciated. I'm not sure who we should tell about this but you probably know more. ]🐉(]) 09:59, 20 July 2020 (UTC) | |||

Talk to me, Andy Mabbett
- If you post a message on this page, I'll reply on this page to avoid fragmenting the discussion.
- If I've left you a message on your talk page, I will be watching it, so please reply there rather than here (but do feel free to drop a copy of {{Talkback}} here).
- If appropriate, I will move discussion from here to the relevant article's talk page, so that anyone interested can join in.
- If you want to start a new discussion thread, please start it at the bottom of the page. Better still, use the "new section" tab next to the "edit this page" tab, or the link at the foot of this section, either of which will do that automatically.
- Please do not make links from within section headings.
- Inaccessible HTML (coloured text, "small" tags, etc.) will be removed from this page on sight. Broken heading or list structures will be fixed.
- Please sign and date your entries by inserting four tildes (~~~~) at the end.
- Start a new discussion.

Tech News: 2020-28
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- The Score extension has been disabled for now. This is because of a security issue. It will work again as soon as the security issue has been fixed.
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 July. It will be on non-Misplaced Pages wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 July. It will be on all wikis from 9 July (calendar).
Future changes
- Abstract Misplaced Pages is a new Wikimedia project. It will collect language-independent information that can be easily read in different languages. It builds on Wikidata. The name is preliminary. You can read more.
- The iOS Misplaced Pages app developers are thinking about new experimental tools. If you use an iPhone you can help them by answering the survey.
- Some rules for user signatures will soon be enforced. Lint errors and invalid HTML will no longer be allowed in user signatures. Nested substitution will not be allowed. A link to your user page, user talk page or user contributions will be required. You can check if your signature works with the new rules. This is because the signatures can cause problems for tools or other text on the page.

Motherfoclóir
Regarding your part-reversion of my edits to Darach Ó Séaghdha: the title of the book Motherfoclóir is a bilingual play on words — foclóir is Irish for 'dictionary', but the combined word sounds like motherfucker. It's not a single dictionary word, so how it should be tagged is something of an edge case. At least for the sake of screenreaders, I would suggest the tagging of the second half of the title as being Irish is the best way to handle that, surely? — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 17:56, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- I'm aware of the etymology. As I said in my edit summary, I'm not convinced that a word can change language at its mid-point. Likewise, I'm not convinced that screenreaders would recognise such a change. I suggest opening a discussion on the template's talk page, perhaps with a pointer to it on the talk page of the accessibility project.

Hi Andy! One question on referencing
I do not seem to get the "one-reference-cited-twice" thing working. So that the same source/citation appears at two different locations in the article, each linking to the same entry in the references list. Can you maybe provide me with your source code of your sandbox, that you showed earlier? Thank you so much for your help! --SteffenCoe (talk) 10:16, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- @SteffenCoe: I can see the problem, in your sandbox. I will explain after lunch, when we can use a side room of the video call. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:19, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Tech News: 2020-29
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
- Users can thank others for their edits. Checkusers can now see user data related to that action. This can help identify sock puppets who harass others using thanks.
Problems
- Everyone was logged out a couple of weeks ago to fix a security problem. The problem was not entirely fixed. Because of this everyone was logged out once again last week.
Changes later this week
- Wikis that are not for one specific language can translate pages. Sometimes parts of translations are outdated or missing. Outdated translations are marked with a pink background. Missing translations will also be marked in the future. This markup can sometimes break things. It can soon be disabled by using
<translate nowrap></translate>on the source page. - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 July. It will be on non-Misplaced Pages wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 July. It will be on all wikis from 16 July (calendar).
Future changes
Wikimedia code review plans to use GitLab. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers.

Andy, thank you so much... I wonder for your consideration for the job I completed this night, 5 paragraphs with 15 citations, and fully original scientific "edit". I wrote you an email and told you the details of my job, and what I created for "Editing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design".
Do you agree with the final result ?
Also, I uploaded 2 beautiful flower pictures for you :) as a reply to your wonderful cookies... and your beautiful yellow-orange flowers... thank you for everything... hope to see you soon...
