I do on the other hand, use pings as I've more or less given up on watchlists, but may not always ping you (usually, if the message has gone unanswered for about more than 12-18 hours, then I'd usually give a ping).

Quick fix
[edit]I hope this minor edit is OK. -- 89.241.66.102 01:57, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah that's perfectly fine – and thanks for that. //shb (t | c | m) 02:00, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- I have been going through the articles that were listed in that error category (linked from the edit summary) and have reduced the list from 70+ to 28 in a couple of days. There's also two template pages listed in there, but I haven't got enough knowledge to even begin looking at what the error might be with those. -- 89.241.66.102 02:06, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- That's great to hear; awesome progress! //shb (t | c | m) 02:15, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-17
[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.
Updates for editors
- Wikifunctions is now integrated with Dagbani Wikipedia since April 15. It is the first project that will be able to call functions from Wikifunctions and integrate them in articles. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of a stable and global function, rather than via a local template.
- A new type of lint error has been created: Empty headings (documentation). The Linter extension's purpose is to identify wikitext patterns that must or can be fixed in pages and provide some guidance about what the problems are with those patterns and how to fix them.

Updates for technical contributors
- Following its publication on HuggingFace, the "Structured Contents" dataset, developed by Wikimedia Enterprise, is now also available on Kaggle. This Beta initiative is focused on making Wikimedia data more machine-readable for high-volume reusers. They are releasing this beta version in a location that open dataset communities already use, in order to seek feedback, to help improve the product for a future wider release. You can read more about the overall Structured Contents project, and about the first release that's freely usable.
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings and events
- The Editing and Machine Learning Teams invite interested volunteers to a video meeting to discuss Peacock check, which is the latest Edit check that will detect "peacock" or "overly-promotional" or "non-neutral" language whilst an editor is typing. Editors who work with newcomers, or help to fix this kind of writing, or are interested in how we use artificial intelligence in our projects are encouraged to attend. The meeting will be on April 28, 2025 at 18:00–19:00 UTC and hosted on Zoom.

Summer of Wikivoyage in Albania & Kosovo, 2025
[edit]Hi @SHB2000!
I am @Vyolltsa from the Wikimedians of Albanian Language User Group. I wanted to share a quick update for our upcoming Summer of Wikivoyage Edit-a-thon in 2025. This year, we are focusing on Prishtina and other travel destinations across Kosovo and Albania in English. This edit-a-thon will take place offline from 16-18 of May. We are also inviting everyone to join us online here Saturday from 10:00-17:00 (GMT+2) Time Zone.
Could you please update the Albania and Kosovo Expedition pages for 2025? Your support is is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Vyolltsa (talk) 11:20, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
- Sure can do. //shb (t | c | m) 11:26, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
Done both Albania and Kosovo. //shb (t | c | m) 11:56, 24 April 2025 (UTC) - Thank you 🙏 @SHB2000. Vyolltsa (talk) 13:22, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Glad to help. //shb (t | c | m) 22:30, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you 🙏 @SHB2000. Vyolltsa (talk) 13:22, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Error category
[edit]I have been cleaning up more error categories. I noticed the last remaining error article in this one and wondered if this one was more your area? -- 89.241.67.66 11:00, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- .. and the two pages listed here. -- 89.241.67.66 16:41, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think those are errors – really just highlights the complex nature of those categories in question that it doesn't make much sense to fix them. //shb (t | c | m) 22:47, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Script errors
[edit]Any idea what this {{Submit an edit request}} template is all about? It doesn't appear to be used anywhere. You deleted the /doc page for it in August 2024. It appears as an error in Category:Pages with script errors. I assume it can be deleted? -- 89.241.66.36 17:02, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- I also see it's mentioned at {{Protected page text/template}}, a page with a lot of broken links and which also appears in Category:Pages with script errors. -- 89.241.66.36 17:08, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- The deletion log says the deleted page was created by a vandal. I assume also the others are, but for some reason not deleted at the time (actually the doc page was created and deleted a few days before the template page was created). I assume they should be deleted, with no VfD needed, but SHB may have a better picture. –LPfi (talk) 19:05, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yep, that was in fact created by an LTA. I've deleted it accordingly. //shb (t | c | m) 00:39, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- Is {{Protected page text/template}} and {{Protected page text}} and the various sub-pages of both all part of the set? -- 89.241.66.36 00:43, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- They are; I've deleted both. //shb (t | c | m) 01:01, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
