SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. -- SuggestBot (talk) 23:28, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-19[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
.jpg)
- The appearance of talk pages changed for all wikis, except for Commons, Wikidata and most Wikipedias (a few have already received this design change). You can read the detail of the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at remaining wikis in the coming weeks. [2][3]
Interface admins now have greater control over the styling of article components on mobile with the introduction of the SiteAdminHelper. More information on how styles can be disabled can be found at the extension's page. [4]- Wikimedia Enterprise has added article body sections in JSON format and a curated short description field to the existing parsed Infobox. This expansion to the API is also available via Wikimedia Cloud Services. [5]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 May. It will be on all wikis from 9 May (calendar). [6][7]- When you look at the Special:Log page, the first view is labelled "All public logs", but it only shows some logs. This label will now say "Main public logs". [8]
Future changes
- A new service will be built to replace Extension:Graph. Details can be found in the latest update regarding this extension.
- Starting May 21, English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia will get the possibility to activate "Add a link". This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to all Wikipedias. These communities can activate and configure the feature locally. [9]

AfD Thank You[edit]
thanks for the patrolling today! The extra set of hands is always helpful. Have a great evening. Star Mississippi 02:45, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, my pleasure. With Liz in hospital, I think it's just you and Josh as sysop regulars. I try my best to close and relist, still we somehow end up with 50+ old AfDs daily lol. Maybe it was bc of the weekend. Have a good day to you too :) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 02:52, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yep! I try to pick up the slack on the weekends as I'm not often online during the week. Liz has covered me for weeks so glad to be able to step in here for her. I'm going to keep an eye on Category:Proposed deletion as well as it's not an area I frequently watch. Star Mississippi 03:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations! - Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Draft:Aldo Baglio[edit]
I need to tell you that since you declined my draft, which is about an Italian comedian, the thing that I want to tell you is that the sources that I put which are L'Unione Sarda, Corriere della Sera, Il Giornale and La Repubblica, those are reliable sources, because they are news websites, and I didn't understand the problem.
