New, simpler RfC to define trust levels for WikiLoop DoubleCheck

HI Jarble/Archive 9,
I'm writing to let you know we have simplified the RfC on trust levels for the tool WikiLoop DoubleCheck. Please join and share your thoughts about this feature! We made this change after hearing users' comments on the first RfC being too complicated. I hope that you can participate this time around, giving your feedback on this new feature for WikiLoop DoubleCheck users.
Thanks and see you around online,
María Cruz

Hello! Voting in the 2020 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 7 December 2020. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve.

Reason for redirect?

In this edit, you redirected to Motion Interpolation (computer graphics) (with an incorrectly capitalized initial "i") rather than to Motion interpolation (computer graphics) (with a correctly lower-case "i"). I moved the page to the correct title. You should remember that under the rules of WP:MOS, one does not capitalize an initial letter in an article title or a section heading merely because it's an initial letter in an article title or a section heading.

In the mean time, the article currently has no other articles linking to it. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:33, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

@Michael Hardy: I didn't create this article, but its title was recently corrected. Wikipedia seems to have two articles about this subject: Motion interpolation and Motion interpolation (computer graphics). Jarble (talk) 18:48, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Reply tool

Graph of Reply tool and full-page wikitext edit completion rates
Completion rates for comments made with the Reply tool and full-page wikitext editing. Details and limitations are in this report.

The Reply tool is available at most other Wikipedias.

  • The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
  • It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.

Research notes:

  • As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
  • There is preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments that they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[1]
  • The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[2] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
  • A large A/B test will start soon.[3] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias (not including the English Wikipedia) will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. Editors at those Wikipeedias can still turn it on or off for their own accounts in Special:Preferences.

New discussion tool

Screenshot of version 1.0 of the New Discussion Tool prototype.

The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[4] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.

Next: Notifications

During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

Junior contributors comment completion rate across all participating Wikipedias
When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (Source)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:

  • Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
  • The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Typos

Hello. I came here to agree with the plea for open-access links to references on your user page, but noticed the list of typos. Have you considered adding the widespread and unambiguous cases to WP:AWB/T, or at least suggesting them on its talk page? That would get existing and future typos fixed as a side effect when their articles are edited for other reasons. Certes (talk) 21:47, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

@Certes: I don't use regular expressions to find typos: there are infinitely many possible misspellings of every word, so it's impractical to use regular expressions for this purpose. An approximate string-matching algorithm (such as Levenshtein distance) would probably be more effective. Jarble (talk) 22:25, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of American colonists (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on American colonists (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

History of the Palestine national football team redirect

Hi, what is the exact purpose of this redirect? Did you know that this prevents editors from creating a complete article instead of copying and pasting from their sandbox? Sakiv (talk) 19:37, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@Sakiv: I created this redirect because Wikipedia did not yet have an article about this topic. I didn't think it would prevent anyone from creating an article: is it not possible to turn the redirect page into an article? Jarble (talk) 00:45, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Yes, it's almost impossible. Stop with your unhelpful creations. This creates problems for others in the future. Maybe you should fix this mess. Sakiv (talk) 09:27, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
@Sakiv: It is still possible to edit the redirect to turn it into an article. Jarble (talk) 15:16, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
@Sakiv: You can also create a draft of the article, if it is not yet ready to publish. Jarble (talk) 15:28, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
It seems like you don't understand what I mean. I want to be the sole creator of that coming article. You can ask for its deletion to get over this big headache and use G7 criteria. Sakiv (talk) 23:17, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Sakiv (talk) 05:27, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

A tool for navigation wikignomes

I noticed you work with redirects a lot. Here is a tool I find indispensable for working with redirects. It provides you with the ability to see them:

How to make redirects appear green to you

Here is a trick to make redirected wikilinks stand out by turning them green instead of blue! This is especially useful when working on navigation aids like lists and outlines, where you need to be sure a link leads to where it says it links to. This quick and easy solution uses customized CSS:

Go to your Preferences, click on the "Appearance" tab, and click the "Custom CSS" to the right of the skin you use. It opens a page to edit, and you can add the following code (just copy and paste it): 

	.mw-redirect {
		color: #006633;
	}
	.mw-redirect:visited {
		color: #009900;
	}
	.mw-redirect:hover {
		color: #990000;
	}
	.mw-redirect:active {
		color: #990000;
	}
Save the page, and reload (bypass your browser cache) and/or (Purge) the Wikipedia server to force the new CSS to be included. All redirects will now show up as green links! If you prefer a different color, you can modify them by using six-digit hex codes.
