 To add templates, go to the "Insert" menu and choose the "Transclusion" (puzzle piece) item. Enter the name of the template and click "Add template". If TemplateData exists for the template, then a list of possible parameters will appear. If not, you can add parameters yourself by typing the parameter name under "Add parameter". For unnamed parameters, use numbers ("1" for the first unnamed parameter). Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has worked mostly minor features and fixing bugs. A few significant bugs include working around a bug in CSSJanus that was wrongly flipping images used in some templates in right-to-left (RTL) environments (bug 50910) a major bug that meant inserting any template or other transclusion failed (bug 59002), a major but quickly resolved problem due to an unannounced change in MediaWiki core, which caused VisualEditor to crash on trying to save (bug 59867). This last bugs did not appear on any Wikipedia. Additionally, significant work has been done in the background to make VisualEditor work as an independent editing system. As of today, VisualEditor is now available as an opt-out feature to all users at 149 active Wikipedias.
Looking ahead: The character formatting menu on the toolbar will get a drop-down indicator next Thursday. The reference and media items will be the first two listed in the Insert menu. The help menu will get a page listing the keyboard shortcuts. Looking further out, image handling will be improved, including support for alignment (left, right, and center) and better control over image size (including default and upright sizes). The developers are also working on support for editing redirects and image galleries. Subscriptions to this newsletter are managed at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter. Please add or remove your name to change your subscription settings. If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you!

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 19:16, 30 January 2014 (UTC) Apostolic Pastoral CongressHello Faizan. Thank you for your 'orphan' notice on my 'Apostolic Pastoral Congress' page. I have now created a link from the 'Churches Together in England' wikipage. For this reason, I have taken the liberty of removing your 'orphan' notice. I hope this was the correct thing for me to do!! If not, then I do apologize to you. Do feel free to reinstate the notice. As soon as time permits, I shall be creating a wikipage on APC's presiding prelate Archbishop Agama, and I shall then cross-link both ways, from Dr Agama's wikipage to the APC wikipage and vice versa. If I am doing these things wrong, do please tell me. On further thought, I could also create a link from 'J Delano Ellis' and from the 'Pentecostal Churches of Christ' in the USA, and I'll do just that now. Bye for now.

WikiCup 2014 January newsletterThe 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer
Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible. Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

ErrorThe Mighty Don't Kneel - my reversion is correct. Ribbon is refusing to provide valid sources, in effect trying to claim fly by nighters as full members of the group. It's like claiming Stephanie McMahon was a member of DX. 203.17.215.26 (talk) 03:29, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Be careful with AWBPlease be careful when making high-speed changes with AWB. In 1954 Birthday Honours you changed "Intin" to "Intinct", evidently without looking at it. In fact "Intin" was correct – it was the person's name. This was one of five pages that you changed in the same minute! Slow down a little and look at what you're "fixing". Thanks!

ThankSThanks for cleanups on Saoirse Abu and Milligram. I have a dodgy "s" key on my ancient laptop, which does lead to rather a lot of typos.

DYKFaizan, you pulled one of your own hooks from a DYK prep area today. Please do not ever do that again. The way to handle any problems with one of your promoted nominations is to go to WT:DYK and ask for it to be fixed. This includes "wrong" hook selection, edits—any changes at all. Thank you.

VisualEditor Newsletter—February 2014Did you know?
 You can easily re-use references by going to the Insert menu, choosing "Reference", and clicking on "Use an existing reference" in the lower left corner. A list of all references, their numbers, and their ref names (if any) will be shown. You can search the list for any author, title, date, or other keyword. Read the user guide for more information. Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has worked on some small changes to the user interface, such as moving the reference item to the top of the Insert menu, as well as some minor features and fixing bugs, especially for rich copying and pasting of references. The biggest change was the addition of more features to the image dialog, including the ability to set alignment (left, right, center), framing options (thumbnail, frame, frameless, and none), adding alt text, and defining the size manually. There is still some work to be done here, including a quick way to set the default size.
Looking ahead: The link tool will tell you when you're linking to a disambiguation or redirect page. The warning about wikitext will hide itself after you remove the wikitext markup in that paragraph. Support for creating and editing redirects is in the pipeline. Looking further out, image handling will be improved, including default and upright sizes. The developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments, some behavioral magic words like DISPLAYTITLE, and in-line language setting ( If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.

March 2014 GAN Backlog DriveIt's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish. More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page. I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone! --Dom497 --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:58, 22 February 2014 (UTC) Hello, Faizan. Please check this article again and see if the tag can be removed. —Anne Delong (talk) 17:03, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
