==A request for assistance==

Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. [[User:Bzuk|Bzuk]] 02:50 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Thanks for the ASIN template. I don't really like ASINs either, and can stop using them if you wish. I like to have it available as a compromise if others dislike removal of a 'bad' ISBN. I have feelers out regarding [[Argentine rock]] on the outstanding A list since I was not able to quickly solve it myself. Regards, [[User:Keesiewonder|Keesiewonder]] 13:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

:Hi Rich! This is the first I've heard of an ASIN template, but since it seems to have been created, would you consider adding a comment about it over on [[Category talk:Articles with invalid ISBNs]]? It could help out with difficult books which have no known valid ISBN but can be found in Amazon. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] 23:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

* [[Tha Si Sunthon Heroines Monument]]

::Hi Ed, I am not sure that ASINs are necessary for books. I have found that for most cases, an OCLC was readily found. Note: [[User:Shimgray/ASIN]] So far I have only found one book that I could only find an ASIN for ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Hanratty&diff=prev&oldid=98623098]), and in that case, only a http://amazon.fr link displayed the book, making the <nowiki>{{ASIN}}</nowiki> template useless. However if an ASIN is all that someone has, I'm all for them using the <nowiki>{{ASIN}}</nowiki> template so it helps others find the OCLC.

* [Isaac Wayne]] For his grandfather...

::There are many articles that use ASINs. Via google, I quickly found ASINs are in use on WP for books ([[Raymond Cattell (Books)]] and [[Edith Cavell]]) and audio/video publications ([[Christopher Parkening]], [[Julian Bream]] and [[Patty Larkin]]).

* [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Events|Upcoming events]]: New Linked Data for Libraries [[Wikidata: WikiProject LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group|LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group]] project series! Mark your calendars for our third session of our event series, an Introduction to Wikidata/EMCO, which is meant to introduce EMCO participants and anyone interested to Wikidata and to develop frameworks and skills for entity management in the Wikidata environment. We will review searching in Wikidata and have a practical, hands-on exercise where everyone can create a new person item and add some statements. Join us Tuesday, August 19th at 9am PT/ 12pm ET/ 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1755619200 Time zone converter]. Please see our [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Project_Series/IntroEMCO project page] for more information and Zoom links.

''' Press, articles, blog posts, videos '''

Hello Rich. Take a look at the new version of [[User:EdJohnston | my user page]] where I tried to summarize the ISBN-fixing activity. Let me know if I missed out on some useful bit of advice for newcomers. So far, there has not been a real project for this work, but it wouldn't hurt if the effort looked a bit respectable, since our changes are sometimes questioned by people who don't know what it's about or why we're doing it. The 'members' of the project are simply the set of people who have been fixing ISBNs lately, using either the list or the category. Please comment if you can think of anything to add.

* Mobile editing of statements: We are continuing the work - so far on the read-only mobile version. We will start looking into editing soon. You can follow along with the development on [https://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org beta Wikidata].

Another editor has added the "{{tl|prod}}" template to the article [[Queen Elizabeth Elementary School (New Westminster)]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] and [[Wikipedia:Notability]]). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at [[Talk:Queen Elizabeth Elementary School (New Westminster)|its talk page]]. If you remove the {{tl|prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]], where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --[[User:Eastmain|Eastmain]] 20:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

* GraphQL: We are continuing some experiments with GraphQL to see if it is useful for specific types of access to Wikidata's data.

:[[Vis-à-vis]] has also been proposed for deletion. [[User:NickelShoe|NickelShoe]] ([[User talk:NickelShoe|Talk]]) 01:42, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

* Dumps: We are starting to experiment with subset dumps to see if we can get meaningful smaller dumps for reusers.

* Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:

** We are working on scalability issues around the number of changes from Wikidata that get sent to Wikipedia and co. As part of this we are continuing to look into how to decrease the number of changes in recent changes and watchlist on Wikipedia and co that don't actually affect an article there.

** We are investigating how the upcoming larger rollout of Parsoid affects the tracking of Wikidata usage in articles.

** We are looking into improving the Databox Lua module that is used especially in smaller Wikipedias to get Wikidata-powered infoboxes.

* Federation: We are looking at the previous prototype for Federated Properties that allowed to use Wikidata's Properties on another Wikibase instance. We are checking what if anything of it can be revived for our current work to allow other Wikibase instances to use Wikidata's Items and Properties seamlessly.

* Data governance: We are concluding research around the current undestanding of people about which data should go where in the Wikibase Ecosystem.

* Constraint reports: We limited Special:ConstraintReport to logged-in users to avoid AI scrapers hitting the systems too hard ([[phab:T401789]))

== Spaces ==

| colspan=2 |

After nearly 20 years on Wikipedia, I still cannot figure out why some editors add or delete spaces in headings, after bullet points, etc. Sometimes one editor will come and change these, and then another will come and do the opposite. Can you explain? Is there a MOS item or guideline somewhere about this? None of it affects the way the text looks on the page.

: The important part is lists not having blank lines between them. This is bad for accessibility as each item will be read as a separate list by a screen reader.

: For the rest, it's a preference, though there are usually expressible reasons. For example, some of my preferences:

:# I prefer fairly tight vertical spacing, because we often don't have a lot of lines to play with (my edit window is 24 lines, on a fairly large screen, many people edit on much smaller screens or phones).

:# I prefer a space after left-margin markup, just as we have a space after numbered and bulleted list markers. I think it aids readability.

:# I prefer no "=-adjacent" space in headers because we don't use spaces extra spaces within brackets, quotation marks, italic/bold markup, link markup or template curly brackets.

:# I'm undecided about inline templates - where there is a pipe, I'm beginning to think that's a good spot for a space, effectively treating the pipe as a comma. This makes it much easier to read in Chrome if you have spelling check turned on. (for example <code>author=Smith|date=</code> Chrome will treat "Smith|date" as a word.

My watchwords tend to be readability, simplicity and consistency. I could talk about reasons for doing things otherwise, or layout of multiline templates too, but I don't want to bore you. Hope that helps.

All the best: ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]''<small> 18:08, 18 August 2025 (UTC).</small><br />

:P.S. I only use the semi-colon for putting boxes on the left, particularly portal and sisterlinks. I would suggest that there's rarely a case where standard bold mark-up isn't better for bold, and indeed it's likely that a level 3 or 4 heading would be more appropriate. All the best: ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]''<small> 18:10, 18 August 2025 (UTC).</small><br />

::Thanks. Yes, I would like you to "bore" me a little more about #2 and #3 above -- How do you think they aid readability? I totally agree with #1 and also agree about pipes. Also [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=George_Grossmith_Jr.&diff=1306611430&oldid=1306590691 what about the spaces in this type of edit?] -- In or out, and why? I'd like to be able to make a reasoned argument to editors about this, especially when one adds spaces and another deletes them. -- [[User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] ([[User talk:Ssilvers|talk]]) 22:40, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

::: We generally have a space before a word starts (excluding CamelCase). Even a paragraph that isn't indented has a margin - the only exceptions in normal text are paired delimiters—and sometimes dashes—which are all lightweight. Programmers are used to exceptions, some of them inherited from mathematics ''sin(x)'' influences <code>to_upper(my_string)</code> but these days have started to insist on spaces around "=".

::: Example:

:::<code>*January</code>

:::<code>*February</code>

:::<code>*March</code>

:::…

:::<code>* January</code>

:::<code>* February</code>

:::<code>* March</code>

:::

::: To me the second is easier to read. It's also an interesting question, if there are no spaces is it because the editor doesn't like them, hadn't thought of them, forgot them or couldn't be bothered? If there is a space it is certainly deliberate (although they may be copying something they don't necessarily agree with).

:::

::: To be continued… All the best: ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]''<small> 23:11, 18 August 2025 (UTC).</small><br />

::::You wrote: "To me the second is easier to read. ... if there are no spaces is it because the editor doesn't like them...." So, is it simply a matter of personal preference? If so, unless one can make a good argument that they are making inconsistent spacing consistent in an established article, I'd say that adding or deleting such spaces (unless making a major revision to the article) is a violation of [[MOS:VAR]]. ALSO: what about my last question about all the spaces added/deleted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=George_Grossmith_Jr.&diff=1306611430&oldid=1306590691 in this type of edit?] -- [[User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] ([[User talk:Ssilvers|talk]]) 04:33, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

'''Updates for editors'''

* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] Template authors can now use additional CSS properties, since the CSS sanitizer used by [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateStyles|TemplateStyles]] was updated. For example: <code>width: fit-content</code>; <code>ruby-align</code>; relative units such as <code>lh</code>; and custom strings in <code>list-style-type</code>. These improvements are a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist/Wishes/Allow use of modern CSS in templates by updating the TemplateStyles CSS sanitizer|Community Wishlist wish]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T271958][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T277755][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T293633][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T295088][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326906][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T340057][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T360725][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T371809][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T375344][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T394619]

* On large wikis, the default time period to display edits from, within the Special:RecentChanges page, has been changed from 7 days to 1 day. This is part of a performance improvement project. This should have no user-facing impact due to the quantity of edits on these wikis. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T399455]

* Administrators can now access the [[{{#special:BlockedExternalDomains}}]] page from the [[{{#special:CommunityConfiguration}}]] list page. This makes it easier to find. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393240]

* Wikimedia Commons videos were not shown in the Videos tab in Google Search. The problem was investigated and reported to Google who have now fixed the issue.

'''Updates for technical contributors'''

* Two fields of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Recentchanges table|recentchanges database table]] are being removed. <code>rc_new</code> and <code>rc_type</code> are being removed in favor of <code>rc_source</code>. Queries to these older fields will start to fail starting this week and developers should use <code>rc_source</code> instead. These older fields were deprecated over 10 years ago and should not be in use. This is part of work to improve the performance and stability of queries to the recentchanges table. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T400696]

* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.16|MediaWiki]]

'''In depth'''

== JS ==

* The latest quarterly [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Language and Product Localization/Newsletter/2025/July|Language and Internationalization Newsletter]] is now available. This edition includes: support for new languages in MediaWiki and translatewiki; the start of the Language Onboarding and Development project to help support the growth of new and small wikis; updates on research projects; and more.

'''Meetings and events'''

Nope :-( - My JS still doesn't work correctly either even with Deskana's change undone - perhaps the devs have changed something? <small><font face="Tahoma">'''thanks'''/[[User:MatthewFenton|Fenton, Matthew]] [[User talk:MatthewFenton|Lexic Dark]] [[Special:Contributions/MatthewFenton|52278 Alpha 771]]</font></small> 11:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello Rich! The List that you generated on 22 Aug 06 is dwindling fast, under the onslaught of the new army of ISBN-fixers. It's down to less than 200 entries, while about 2066 pages are still known to have problems (via the Category). Since the List has become so popular, is there any chance you could generate a new one? I understand it has to be made via an off-line operation that only you know how to do. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] 23:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
