Updates for editors
Editors who use the "Special characters" editing-toolbar menu can now see the 32 special characters you have used most recently, across editing sessions on that wiki. This change should help make it easier to find the characters you use most often. The feature is in both the 2010 wikitext editor and VisualEditor. [1]
Editors using the 2010 wikitext editor can now create sublists with correct indentation by selecting the line(s) you want to indent and then clicking the toolbar buttons.[2] You can now also insert <code> tags using a new toolbar button.[3] Thanks to user stjn for these improvements.
Help is needed to ensure the citation generator works properly on each wiki.
(1) Administrators should update the local versions of the page MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json to include entries for preprint, standard, and dataset; Here are example diffs to replicate for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'.
(2.1) If the citoid map in the citation template used for these types of references is missing, one will need to be added. (2.2) If the citoid map does exist, the TemplateData will need to be updated to include new field names. Here are example updates for 'preprint' and for 'standard' and 'dataset'. The new fields that may need to be supported are archiveID, identifier, repository, organization, repositoryLocation, committee, and versionNumber. [4]
The English Wikipedia is my wikihome. I began formal editing in October 2005, seeking to improve music-related articles. I have observed several WikiProjects, but participated mostly in Classical Music and Film. A large chunk of my early edits came in 2007–08. In 2015–16, I mostly answered edit and move requests, worked on templates and modules, patrolled DISPLAYTITLE and DEFAULTSORT issues, and monitored editnotices. I've been on an extended wikibreak through 2025.
Articles, files, other contributions
On the English Wikipedia, I credit myself with creating the following articles. I created some early ones with an old IP of an ISP I formerly used.
I have an alternate account that I use for public security and for proof-of-concept script testing. I have an inactive bot account for automated edits and maintenance work. Currently, I do not send semi-automated AWB edits through this account.
