Open tasks
- As a reminder, the legacy javascript globals (like accessing
wgPageName without first assigning it a value or using mw.config.get('wgPageName') instead) are deprecated. If your user scripts make use of the globals, please update them to use mw.config instead. Some global interface editors or local interface administrators may edit your user script to make these changes if you don't. See phab:T72470 for more.
Miscellaneous
- For people interested in creating user scripts or gadgets using TypeScript, a types-mediawiki package (GitHub, NPM) is now available that provides type definitions for the MediaWiki JS interface and the API.
- A GitHub organization has been created for hosting codebases of gadgets. Users who maintain gadgets using GitHub may choose to move their repos to this organization, to ensure continued maintenance by others even if the original maintainer becomes inactive.

Hi, you left this message: Hello, I'm Darren-M. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Tassili n'Ajjer seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Darren-M talk 20:43, 4 January 2020 (UTC) How can I see what you removed - and why did you remove it - what is not neutral about it? I read the link you sent to. All I can remember is adding citations and geographic references - can these be non neutral? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.0.11.38 (talk)
- @154.0.11.38: Hi there. I reverted this edit. We wouldn't describe something as iconic unless we could provide sources describing it as such. Best, Darren-M talk 14:12, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
