Template Wizard script available for testing

Hello. I'm contacting you because you voted for the Infobox Wizard in the 2017 Community Wishlist Survey.

The Infobox Wizard has gotten an upgrade - it's now a Template Wizard which works for infoboxes and all other templates. The feature is being developed as an extension (which will allow for localization) but there is a prototype user script which works well.

The Wishlist Team would love it if you could take a few minutes to try the Template Wizard prototype script out and give us feedback on whether it lives up to your expectations. This feedback will help build the script into an extension. To get started, add the following to your Special:MyPage/common.js -

mw.loader.load( 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Samwilson/TemplateWizard.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' );

The Template Wizard will show up as a puzzle-piece icon in the 2010 WikiEditor. You can click on the icon to insert a template. Your thoughts are needed on whether it makes sense for the wizard to be available for all users by default or if there should be a preference for it. If it's a preference, what should the default be? Please leave your feedback here. Thank you! -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 22:41, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for everything

Despite whatever you feel like, I would have still finished that 20 million edit project for wikidata. Under that artix account, everything would have been fine. 100% fine.

An appeal for an unblock WOULD have been granted, if it weren't for that sockhunter, with whom I and multiple others filed stalking complaints across not just WMF, but wikia and every other wiki possible.

Also, No admin would do anything to "support me" because they want to keep the tools, aside from the fact they dislike it.

And any chances of an actual acceptance back into wiki? Knowing how the people on the internet works, forgiveness is inpossible here on wiki. I would have gotten unblocked earlier under the original, but another person in my town is 0reventing me so, hence the abuse.

Whatever, I'm out of here. Thanks for doing the hard work for my knowledge enrichment.

Hi folks. If you're receiving this message, you've contributed to IdeaLab or an Inspire Campaign this year. Thanks for participating to develop ideas and review ones from other Wikimedians.

We are preparing some changes to IdeaLab and Inspire Campaigns.

You are invited to join this community space for IdeaLab, especially if you would ever consider needing to find contributors with certain skills (like design or project management) or would like to offer your skills to others in our movement. To join, please proceed to Connect/IdeaLab and click on the "Add yourself" button on the right. Thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 19:53, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Inspire Campaign on Measuring Community Health

Do you have an idea about how to measure the health of your community? Do you want to review ideas that others have submitted? Through August 10th, we are inviting ideas on how to capture the well-being of Wikimedia communities, in terms of matters like conflict resolution, effective content creation, and being able to contribute in a collaborative environment. Ideas can be focused on either quantitative techniques, such as gathering raw data, or qualitative techniques, like surveying contributors. If you are submitting an idea, guidance is available for how to move your idea into implementation, such as through a grant or starting a Phabricator task to engage with developers.

If you're interested, consider joining the Inspire Campaign. I JethroBT (WMF) 17:13, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

There is a new ‘Preview pagelist’ button under the pagelist field. Click it to get a preview, and then click on any page number in the preview to open the widget.

You can also create a fresh Index Page for any other PDF or DjVu from Wikimedia Commons and test it.

We need your feedback on the following questions:

• What is your general opinion about the Pagelist Widget?
• Is it obvious how to use the widget? If not, what is difficult to understand?
• What other changes would you like to suggest in order to improve the widget further?

Please provide your feedback on the Project Talk Page on Meta-Wiki.

P.S. - The widget doesn’t work on Local Uploads in Beta Wikisource as of now (due to phab:T257807).

WikiTreers on officeholders

Mahir, I enjoyed meeting you at WCNA - and hijacking your officeholders discussion to talk about Wikidata duplicates and deprecation. I thought someone might like to follow discussions like these on WikiTree where folks are trying to connect lists of officeholders to their global family tree. I'm going to work to get a Wikimedian userbox added to WikiTree so we can see who else enjoys both worlds. KarenJoyce (talk) 14:19, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
