User talk:Cassiopeia

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive subject or headline for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

Development

Wikidata in Wikipedia and co:
- We worked on making Wikidata change summaries in recent changes and watchlist on the other Wikimedia projects more understandable by adding icons. This will be rolled out soon (phab:T397258)
- We continued the improvements to the Databox module (phab:T400322, phab:T400318)
Mobile statement editing: We continued working on editing references (phab:T405236) and did clean-ups for the beta release (phab:T405743)
GraphQL: We continued work on including labels of linked entities in responses
Dumps: We are looking into why dump generation is slower than it should be recently

Question from HistoryInContext (16:43, 27 October 2025)

Note: HistoryInContext's mentor Ixtal is away.

Hello, I would like guidance to navigate page creation as often I get other users categorising my edits as "Machine Generated" when I write my contributions myself. --HistoryInContext (talk) 16:43, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2025-44

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

Updates for editors

The Wikipedia iOS app has launched an A/B/C test of improvements made to the tabbed browsing feature for select regions and languages. The test, named “More dynamic tabs”, explores new tab experiences and includes “Did you know” and “Because you read” article recommendations. You can read more on the project page.
Autoconfirmed users on small and medium wikis with the CampaignEvents extension can now use Event Registration without the Event Organizer right. This feature lets organizers enable registration, manage participants, and lets users register with one click instead of signing event pages.
View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue of flashing colors when holding or pressing the arrow keys under the dark mode settings in Vector 2022 has been fixed. [1]

Updates for technical contributors

The CampaignEvents extension will be deployed to all remaining wikis during the week of 17 November 2025. The extension currently includes three features: Event Registration, Collaboration List, and Invitation List. For this rollout, Invitation List will not be enabled on Wikifunctions and MediaWiki unless requested by those communities. Visit the deployment page to learn more.
The SwaggerUI-based REST sandbox experience is now live on all wiki projects. The sandbox can be accessed through the Special:RestSandbox page. Please report any issues to the MediaWiki Interfaces team board, or join the discussion on the project launch page. [2]
Transform endpoints with a trailing slash path in the MediaWiki REST API are now marked as deprecated. They will remain functional during this time, but removal is expected by the end of January 2026. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found and tested using the REST Sandbox. See the MediaWiki REST API Deprecation page for more detailed information about the API deprecation policies and procedures.
A dedicated changelog now exists for the MediaWiki REST API. The changelog provides an overview of these changes, making it easier for developers to keep track of improvements and iterations. Announcements will also continue to flow through the standard communication channels, including Tech News and email distribution lists, but can now be more easily referenced from a central location. If you have feedback about the style, structure, or content of this changelog, please join the discussion.
Administrators can delete the tracking category which was previously added by the JsonConfig extension, as it is no longer used. See the categories linked from Q130635582. It is OK if there are still pages listed in the category as that is just a caching issue, and they will be automatically cleared out the next time each page is edited. [3]
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Question from Sacad cismaan (02:09, 29 October 2025)

somaliland is country horn africa that union sonalia italy 01. 07.1960 re back union 18 may 1991 by now full country --Sacad cismaan (talk) 02:09, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Shadowfax33

Hello, I would like to know how to edit a category page like this one Category:United States Air Force personnel of the Vietnam War. Shadowfax33 (talk) 08:01, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @Shadowfax33: If you mean to add or remove article from the category, you do that on the individual articles. Pick one of the article in that category and look at the last section of the article. There is also a tool called HotCat for modifying the categories an article is in without mucking about with the article's source directly. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:03, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Red - November 2025

Women in Red | November 2025, Vol 11, Issue 11, Nos. 326, 327, 353, 354

Recognized as the most active topic-based WikiProject by human changes.

Online events:

New: Alphabet run: U, V, W | Asian women
Continuing, year-long initiatives: #1day1woman | Music

Announcements:

Women in Red's Asian women event is part of the global Wikipedia Asian Month 2025 campaign.
You are welcome to add your contributions to both event pages.

Tip of the Month:

Verifiability is increasingly important as AI evolves. You should ensure that every statement made
is adequately sourced. There should be no less than three independent reliable sources for each
biography, including at least one source for each paragraph.

Progress ("moving the needle"):

Statistics available via various tools: previously, Humaniki tool; currently, QLever. Thank you if
you contributed one or more of the 20,473 articles created in the past year.

21 Oct 2024, 19.963% of biographies on EN-WP were about women (2,030,245 biographies; 405,305 women)
28 Oct 2025: 20.23% of biographies on EN-WP were about women (2,094,677 biographies; 423,778 women)
