User:Ronald Weiss on Wikidata

(en) Hello. You are an admin who works in both English and Polish. I've noticed problems with the Wikidata edits made by user Ronald Weiss. He is making completely unbiased changes to the column regarding the official current English names of places in Poland, inserting the historical German names in parentheses. I've already contacted him on his talk page. I'm asking for your intervention.

(pl) Witam. Jestes adminem operującym w jezyku angielskim i polskim. Zauwazylem problemy ze zmianami na wikidata wprowadzanymi przez użytkownika Ronald Weiss. Dokonuje on pozbawionych jakiegokolwiek obiektywizmu zmian w szpalcie dotyczacej oficjalnych obecnych nazw angielskich miejscowosci w Polsce, wprowadzajac w szpalte przeznaczona dla nazw angielskich w nawiasie historyczne nazwy niemieckie. Napisalem juz do niego na jego stronie dyskusji. Prosze o interwencje. Nazw Cieszyn i Jelenia Gora nie moglem zmienic gdyz hasla sa zablokowane ~2026-92352-2 (talk) 14:33, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

Czy możesz mi pakazać jakieś przykłady? Przejżałem jakieś 20 zmian miejsc w Polsce i one były dobre, np. ta. --Jarekt (talk) 14:07, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Po tym jak zwrocilem mu uwage, sam wycofal te zmiany w szpalcie angielskojezycznej label. Sprawa dotyczyla np. tej zmiany w english label Dzieki ~2026-92352-2 (talk) 11:40, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Edit request

Hi Jarekt,
I am currently validating the w3c status of the files in this category, and it appears that this one is protected but needs updates: do you think you could proceed with the removal of [[Category:Quality images - valid vector]] and the update of Igen to {{Igen|I|-1|+|^|s=l|cb=+/M/wmr/wikimedia red/wmg/wikimedia green/wmb/wikimedia blue}} (added tool I + status -1 as the file is uncheckable, because of CDATA - although the validator claims a 502 error)? --Kontributor 2K (talk) 08:36, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Kontributor 2K, I changed protection to only moving and reuploading is restricted while categorizing and wikitext changes are allowed. --Jarekt (talk) 20:54, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. It's ok for me… I had not planned any file correction, --Kontributor 2K (talk) 20:57, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Category:Medal Pamiątkowy za Wojnę 1918–1921 / przekierowanie

Witaj. Ta kategoria ma już 873 haseł i tu moje zapytanie jak stworzyć na wikidata przekierowanie do jeszcze nie istniejącej kategorii na commons "Category:Recipients of the Commemorative Medal for the War of 1918–1921" czy lepiej "Category:Recipients of the Commemorative Medal for the War of 1918–1921 (Poland)". Przykład: Jan Gromnicki na wikidata w szpalcie P166 (award received) "Medal Dziesięciolecia Odzyskanej Niepodległości / Decade of Independence Regained" po przejściu na Jan Gromnicki na commons widać, że takie przekierowanie jest. W przypadku Jan Gromnicki na wikidata w szpalcie P166 (award received) "War Medal 1918-1921 / Medal Pamiątkowy za Wojnę 1918–1921" po przejściu na Jan Gromnicki na commons takiego przekierowania z automatu nie ma i trzeba każdorazowo wpisywać "Category:Medal Pamiątkowy za Wojnę 1918–1921". Nie mam pojęcia jak to zrobić, czy dasz radę stworzyć takie przekierowanie a jezeli nie to moze poprosic jakiegos bota ?. Dzięki z góry ... pozdr ~2026-92352-2 (talk) 14:05, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

to potrzebowałeś --Jarekt (talk) 14:59, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Tak. Dzięki, super.~2026-92352-2 (talk) 15:16, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-09

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• Reference Check has been deployed to English Wikipedia, completing its rollout across all Wikipedias. The feature prompts newcomers to add a citation before publishing new content, helping reduce common citation-related reverts and improve verifiability. In A/B testing, the impact was substantial: newcomers shown Reference Check were approximately 2.2 times more likely to include a reference on desktop and about 17.5 times more likely on mobile web. [1]

Updates for editors

• The InterwikiSorting extension, which allowed for the sorting of interwiki links, has been undeployed from Wikipedia. As a result, editors who had enabled interwiki link sorting in non-compact mode (full list format) will now see links reordered. The links moving forward will be listed in the alphabetical order of language code. [2]
• Later this week, people who are editing a page-section using the mobile visual editor, will notice a new "Edit full page" button. When tapped, you will be able to edit the entire article. This helps when the change you want to make is outside the section you initially opened. [3][4]
• The Reader Experience team is inviting editors to assess whether dark mode should still be considered "beta" on their wiki, based on their experience of how well it functions on desktop and mobile. If the feature is deemed mature, editors can update the interface messages in MediaWiki:skin-theme-description and MediaWiki:Vector-night-mode-beta-tag to indicate that dark mode is ready and no longer considered beta.
• The improved Activity tab which displays user-insights is now available to all users of the Wikipedia iOS app (version 7.9.0 and later). Following earlier A/B testing that showed higher account creation among users with access to the feature, it has been rolled out to 100% of users along with some updates. The Activity tab now shows your edited articles in the timeline, offers editing impact insights like contribution counts and article view trends, and customization options to improve in-app experience for users.
• View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug that prevented DiscussionTools from working on mobile has now been fixed, restoring full functionality. [5]

Updates for technical contributors

• The Global Watchlist lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The extension that makes this possible continues to improve. The latest upgrade is the inclusion of a new hook, ext.globalwatchlist.rebuild, which fires after each watchlist rebuild. This allows you to run gadgets and user scripts for the Special page. [6]
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Duplicate entry in Wikidata / Podwójne hasło na Wikidata

Q111466653 i Q47508040, Mikołaj Witkowski - polski powstaniec styczniowy, zesłaniec na Syberię, archeolog i muzealnik. pozdr ~2026-92352-2 (talk) 15:16, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Template:Shortcut

Hi, the reason why Template:Shortcut wasn’t working is because MediaWiki:Vector.css only works on the 2010 version of the skin, not the newer one. I’ve copy and pasted the code from there to the template, though I think it could affect older skins. A new page called MediaWiki:Vector-2022.css (reference) would need to be created with these changes then reverted back to this version on the template:

/* Necessary for displaying text in the upper right edge. (Used in [[Template:Shortcut]]) */
#shortcut {
 display: inline;
 position: absolute;
 z-index: 1;
 border: none;
 background: none;
 right: 3px;
 top: .3em;
 float: right;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
 line-height: 1.5em;
 text-align: right;
 text-indent: 0;
 font-size: 95%;
 text-transform: none;
 white-space: normal;
}

1989 (talk) 20:55, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

shortcut template overlaps other text, if your categories are on the top.

1989, Thank you for figuring this out. I implemented your changes. Css file has some warnings:

• Line "margin: 0;": margin can't be used with display: inline
• Line "float: right;": inline has no effect on floated elements (but may be used to fix the IE6 double-margin bug)

Also I always use a gadget "Place categories above all other content" which seem to be interfering with current shortcuts. See image. --Jarekt (talk) 01:27, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

You can add this to your common.js page, it should fix the overlapping. If display:inline is causing errors, you can remove it. 1989 (talk) 05:15, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

1989 I removed display:inline, as for overlapping, I do not mind for myself, but I was thinking that since other people might be using it as well maybe there is something in CSS that can be done. If not than let's not worry about it. --Jarekt (talk) 05:25, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

For some reason, removing it stopped it from working on my end. I couldn’t find a way to prevent the problem through CSS. 1989 (talk) 05:45, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I believe I’ve found a way for this to work with everybody. MediaWiki:Vector-2022.js would need to be created with this inside:

/* Necessary for displaying [[Template:Shortcut]] text in the upper right edge with no overlapping */
$(function() {
    var shortcut = document.getElementById('shortcut');
    if (shortcut) {
        var subtitle = document.getElementById('mw-content-subtitle');
        if (subtitle) {
            subtitle.appendChild(shortcut);
            shortcut.style.position = 'static';
        }
    }
});

I re-added the display:inline on the template itself so those without JS can still see it. 1989 (talk) 14:46, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

1989, I created MediaWiki:Vector-2022.js, but it did not seem to fix the issue. Maybe some caching. --Jarekt (talk) 15:44, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Are there any other scripts you’re using? I tested this with the categories on top, and it worked in my end. 1989 (talk) 16:44, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

1989, It is fine now. I guess it was caching. Thanks for working on this. --Jarekt (talk) 19:15, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Wyspiański - Achilles, którego Pallas za włosy wstrzymała - 1897.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{self|cc-zero}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Tech News: 2026-10

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• Wikipedia 25 Birthday mode is now live on Betawi, Breton, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, Gorontalo, Indonesian, Italian, Luxembourgish, Madurese, Sicilian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese Wikipedias! This limited-time campaign feature celebrates 25 years of Wikipedia with a birthday mascot, Baby Globe. When turned on, Baby Globe is shown on ~2,500 articles, waiting to be discovered by readers. Communities can choose to turn Birthday mode on by getting consensus from their community and asking an admin to enable the feature and customize it via community configuration on the local wiki.

Updates for editors

• Sub-referencing, a new feature to re-use references with different details has been released to Swedish Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia and a couple of other wikis. You can try the feature on these projects or on testwiki and betawiki. Learnings from the first pilot wiki German Wikipedia have been published in a report. Reach out to the Wikimedia Deutschland team if you are interested in becoming a pilot wiki.
• Paste Check will become available at all Wikipedias this week. The feature prompts newcomers who are pasting text they are not likely to have written into VisualEditor to consider whether doing so risks a copyright violation. Paste Check tags all edits where it is shown for potential review. Local administrators can configure various aspects of the feature via Special:EditChecks. Research across 22 wikis found that Paste Check resulted in an 18% decrease in relative reverted-edits compared to the control group. Translators can help to localize this and related features.
• The Reader Experience team will be standardizing the user menu in the top right for all mobile users so that it is closer to the desktop experience. Currently this user menu is only visible to users with Advanced Mobile Controls (AMC) turned on. The only change is that a couple buttons previously in the left-side menu will move to the top right for users who do not have AMC turned on. This change is expected to go out March 9 and seeks to improve the user interface. [7]
• Starting in the week of March 2, the emails sent out when an email address was added, removed, or changed for an account will switch to a substantially nicer and clearer HTML email from the prior plaintext one. [8]
• Notifications are currently limited to 2,000 historic entries per user, and extend back to 2013 when the feature was released. This is going to be changed to only store Notifications from the last 5 years, but up to 10,000 of them. This will help with long-term infrastructure health and help to prevent more recent notifications from disappearing too soon. [9]
• The Global Watchlist which lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on a single page continues to see improvements. The latest update improves label usage experience. The extension now allows activating the language fallback system for Wikidata items without labels in the viewed language, and showing those labels in the user’s preferred Wikidata language if no uselang= URL parameter is provided. [10][11]
• The Wikipedia Android team has started a beta test of hybrid search on Greek Wikipedia. Hybrid search capabilities can handle both semantic and keyword queries enabling readers to find what they’re looking for directly on Wikipedia more easily.
• For security reasons, members of certain user groups are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Currently, 2FA is required to use the group, but not to be a member of it. Given that this model still has some vulnerabilities, the situation will gradually change in March. Members of these groups will be unable to disable last 2FA method on their account, and it will be impossible to add users without 2FA to these groups. Users will still be able to add new authentication methods or remove them, as long as at least one method is continuously enabled. In the second half of March, users without 2FA will be removed from these groups. This applies to: CentralNotice administrators, checkusers, interface administrators, suppressors, Wikidata staff, Wikifunctions staff, WMF Office IT and WMF Trust & Safety. Nothing will change for other users. See the linked task for deployment schedule. [12]
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue preventing users from creating an instance in Wikibase.cloud has now been fixed. [13]

Updates for technical contributors

• To help ensure fair use of infrastructure, over the next month the Wikimedia Foundation will implement global API rate limits across our APIs. In early March, stricter limits will be applied to unidentified requests from outside Toolforge/WMCS and API requests that are made from web browsers. In April, higher limits will be applied to identified traffic. These limits are intentionally set as high as possible to minimise impact on the community. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki should not be affected for now. However, all developers are advised to follow updated best practices. For more information, see Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits.
• The Wikidata Query Service Linked Data Fragment (LDF) endpoint will be decommissioned in February. This endpoint served limited traffic, which was successfully migrated to other data access methods that were better suited to support existing use cases. The hardware used to support the LDF endpoint will be reallocated to support the ongoing backend migration efforts. [14]
• The new Parsoid parser continues to be deployed to additional wikis, improving platform sustainability and making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. Parsoid is now the default parser on 488 WMF wikis (268 Wikipedias), now covering more than 10% of all Wikipedia page views.
• The process and criteria for requesting exceptional access to the high volume feed of the Wikimedia Enterprise APIs (at no cost for mission-aligned usecases), have now been published. This is to provide more thorough and clearer documentation for users.
• Tech Blog, the blog dedicated to the Wikimedia technical community will be migrating to Diff, the community news and event blog. The migration should be complete in April 2026, after which new posts will be accepted for publishing. Readers will be able to access posts – old and new – on the landing page at https://diff.wikimedia.org/techblog.
• Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
