Change dropdown order in RMTR helper

Hey @Eejit43, I'm back! Is it possible for you to change the default/first option in the dropdown of Switch Section to be Contested technical requests rather than Requests to revert undiscussed moves? This is beacause most of the RMTR patrollers move requests to contested, rather than to revert. Thanks again for your swift responses and changes to my large list of feature requests! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:42, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

@Bunnypranav done! Sorry I didn't get to that until now! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 02:30, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

No worries! Thanks again! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 03:36, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Similar request, can you add a State contested kinda option in the dropdown. It can be more useful and descriptive for removing stale contested TRs compared to just Not done, thanks in advance! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 14:40, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "State contested". Are you looking for just a "Stale" option in the dropdown? ~ Eejit43 (talk) 16:34, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Yup, basically an option to clearly state that I am removing an entry which was contested, and now it is stale (no replies arguing for the move/no RM has been started). (P.S. if you feel I'm annoying you, just ignore my messages.) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 04:23, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Understood! I added a "Stale" option as I think the simple language is better. Additionally, you are not annoying me whatsoever, I appreciate your assistance in helping to make the scripts better! :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 04:31, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 04:32, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Updates for editors

• Editors who use the "Special characters" editing-toolbar menu can now see the 32 special characters you have used most recently, across editing sessions on that wiki. This change should help make it easier to find the characters you use most often. The feature is in both the 2010 wikitext editor and VisualEditor. [1]
• Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor can now create sublists with correct indentation by selecting the line(s) you want to indent and then clicking the toolbar buttons.[2] You can now also insert <code> tags using a new toolbar button.[3] Thanks to user stjn for these improvements.
• Help is needed to ensure the citation generator works properly on each wiki.
  • (1) Administrators should update the local versions of the page MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json to include entries for preprint, standard, and dataset; Here are example diffs to replicate for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'.
  • (2.1) If the citoid map in the citation template used for these types of references is missing, one will need to be added. (2.2) If the citoid map does exist, the TemplateData will need to be updated to include new field names. Here are example updates for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'. The new fields that may need to be supported are archiveID, identifier, repository, organization, repositoryLocation, committee, and versionNumber. [4]
• One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Central Kanuri (w:knc:) [5]
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the OCR (optical character recognition) tool used for Wikisource now supports a new language, Church Slavonic. [6]
