 | This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.I've got things going on in my life right now that mean I'm going to be focussing on the fun, stress-reducing aspects of this hobby for a while and actively trying to avoid anything complicated, depressing, demanding, or stressful. If you ping me or leave a message and I don't respond, and then you see I've in the meantime created an entire article about an Asian chili sauce, that's why. |
| Admins: If you think an admin action I've taken recently is wrong or unhelpful, or one I've taken in the past is no longer useful, go ahead and undo or change it without feeling like you have to talk to me first. An explanation in the edit summary is always helpful, but I trust your judgement. |
Need help and don't know where to find it?

I came across this award reviewing a draft and it appears to be a notable award mentioned in several articles. Thought you might be interested in creating an article. See also es:Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. S0091 (talk) 16:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hm, it has an entry in 8 language wikis. Definitely seems worth investigating, thanks! Valereee (talk) 17:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

- @Gladcape2013, if you want to mess around, you can use User:Gladcape2013/sandbox. That's your own area for experimenting with how Wikipedia works. Valereee (talk) 18:12, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-14
[edit]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 Editing team is working on a new Edit check: Peacock check. This check's goal is to identify non-neutral terms while a user is editing a wikipage, so that they can be informed that their edit should perhaps be changed before they publish it. This project is at the early stages, and the team is looking for communities' input: in this Phabricator task, they are gathering on-wiki policies, templates used to tag non-neutral articles, and the terms (jargon and keywords) used in edit summaries for the languages they are currently researching. You can participate by editing the table on Phabricator, commenting on the task, or directly messaging Trizek (WMF).
- Single User Login has now been updated on all wikis to move login and account creation to a central domain. This makes user login compatible with browser restrictions on cross-domain cookies, which have prevented users of some browsers from staying logged in.
View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Updates for technical contributors
- Starting on March 31st, the MediaWiki Interfaces team will begin a limited release of generated OpenAPI specs and a SwaggerUI-based sandbox experience for MediaWiki REST APIs. They invite developers from a limited group of non-English Wikipedia communities (Arabic, German, French, Hebrew, Interlingua, Dutch, Chinese) to review the documentation and experiment with the sandbox in their preferred language. In addition to these specific Wikipedia projects, the sandbox and OpenAPI spec will be available on the on the test wiki REST Sandbox special page for developers with English as their preferred language. During the preview period, the MediaWiki Interfaces Team also invites developers to share feedback about your experience. The preview will last for approximately 2 weeks, after which the sandbox and OpenAPI specs will be made available across all wiki projects.
- Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
In depth
- Sometimes a small, one line code change can have great significance: in this case, it means that for the first time in years we're able to run all of the stack serving maps.wikimedia.org - a host dedicated to serving our wikis and their multi-lingual maps needs - from a single core datacenter, something we test every time we perform a datacenter switchover. This is important because it means that in case one of our datacenters is affected by a catastrophe, we'll still be able to serve the site. This change is the result of extensive work by two developers on porting the last component of the maps stack over to kubernetes, where we can allocate resources more efficiently than before, thus we're able to withstand more traffic in a single datacenter. This work involved a lot of complicated steps because this software, and the software libraries it uses, required many long overdue upgrades. This type of work makes the Wikimedia infrastructure more sustainable.
Meetings and events
- MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop Spring 2025 is happening in Sandusky, USA, and online, from 14–16 May 2025. The workshop will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users. Registration and presentation signup is now available at the workshop's website.

Can You Unblock Me?
[edit]It says you blocked me from the Denali page. I am tolerant of that, but can I at least get access to the talk page? I want to give my vote in the RM. Vanleos (talk) 14:38, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- I'm willing to consider that, if you'll agree to make no more than one edit in any discussion on that page, including that RM, and to not open any new discussions on that page except correctly-formatted wp:edit requests. This is a wp:contentious topic, and you are a brand new editor, and that's really a terrible combination. At CTOPs, other editors have very little patience with newbies who haven't yet learned enough about policy to avoid being disruptive. Valereee (talk) 15:19, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
