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/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.

Tech News: 2024-24[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.

Recent changes

The software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering. [1]
The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
The HTML markup used for citations by Parsoid changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the mw-reference-text class, Parsoid now also adds the reference-text class for better compatibility with the legacy parser. More details are available. [2]

Problems

There was a bug with the Content Translation interface that caused the tools menus to appear in the wrong location. This has now been fixed. [3]

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 June. It will be on all wikis from 13 June (calendar). [4][5]
The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: Parsoid will now generate a <span class="mw-cite-backlink"> wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. More details are available. [6]
On multilingual wikis that use the <translate> system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community requests it. [7]

WikiProject Kentucky and WikiProject Louisville[edit]

Hi, just to let you know, both of the subject projects are subprojects of Wikipedia:WikiProject United States and use its banner. They haven't used their own individual banners since 2011. Because UFC on ESPN: Cannonier vs. Imavov happened in Louisville, it belongs in the Louisville project. The Louisville project is a child of Kentucky's. Hope this makes sense. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 07:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

StefenTower My understanding is that unless the topic/article is about US specifically and not about certain states or cities, then US project will be used, if know then the specific state to be used and that is the reason why the state template existed in the first place. US has the sates in project talk page is different from the rest of the world which all topic of the country integrals of which state or city the topic is resides will be only state as in the country which is the only project template we have in English Wikipedia. Cassiopeia talk 08:05, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a longtime member of these projects, I'm happy to help explain. Many but not all states and cities in the U.S. operate as subprojects of WP United States and use its banner and have done so since 2011. In these cases, they do not use their own individual banner. And many of these old banners have been deprecated. Just because the WP US banner is used, that doesn't necessarily mean the article involved applies to the whole country, but in an ultimate sense, the event we are covering here did indeed take place in the United States. Hope this helps. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 08:13, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

StefenTower What I read years ago of the banner info might be outdated and if the sub state banner is not longer used then, it should not be in the list for choosing in rater tool. Cassiopeia talk 08:29, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible that some deprecated project templates in the Rater tool should not be in there. Rater has been known to occasionally have issues with what it lists for selection. As for Kentucky, it appears that Rater continues to include the Kentucky template but only as a wrapper for WP United States. Ultimately we use the WP US template as you will see in any of its included articles. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 08:37, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

StefenTower Since Rater show the states in the list, I will continue to use them as it is not clear which one is deprecated and which one is not. If you happen to come across, then welcome to change. Thank you and Stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 08:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

States and cities that aren't in WP US show there, of course. At any rate, I do make changes if necessary to place the correct current template for WP KY or WP Louisville (which is WP US), as seen in this case. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 15:43, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Regenstien (20:53, 12 June 2024)[edit]

Hello, I have not made many edits so I wanted to bring this to the attention of someone more involved in the community, but the Rise section of the Pope Adeodatus II article is confusingly written and seems like an argument which to my understanding might belong more in the talk section. How do I request someone take a look at it? --Regenstien (talk) 20:53, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regenstien Good day. I have removed a small part which I believe an editor just added on for some disagreement - see HERE. I could not able to verify the info is as per source as the source is a book and not available from internet searching. Cassiopeia talk 12:29, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, UFC Fight Night 244[edit]

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, UFC Fight Night 244. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – UFC on ESPN+ 102. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at UFC on ESPN+ 102. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 22:12, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trevor Lyttleton --Trevor Lyttleton (talk) 15:49, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trevor Lyttleton Good day and thank you for the question. Pls note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and to have a page in Wikipedia the subject needs to pass the notability guidelines.
