== Image Beside Table in List of Current Senators of Canada ==

Hi @[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]] 

Thanks for you help with fixing the image beside the table here:
[[List of current senators of Canada#Standings]]

On some browsers, I'm still seeing the image a bit above and to the right of the table, and I'm wondering if you have any tips for how to get it to sit nicely beside the table (or a different arrangement, if that is preferred according the standards of the site). I'm relatively new at this but hope I can put some of my knowledge to good use updating related pages.

Thanks again!

:@[[User:Canadianpoliticaljunkie|Canadianpoliticaljunkie]]: I've seen this done before, but I can't remember where. I had a go at trying to fix this in my [[User:Bruce1ee/sandbox/List of current senators of Canada|sandbox]], and I was able to position the image immediately to the right of the table, although it still is a little too high. I'm no expert at table manipulation, but I'll give it some thought. If only I could remember where I've seen this before ... —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]] 00:03, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

== Asking question  ==

Hi Bruce1ee, About my page of "[[Sunpadh Rebellion]]" you removed the command code of '''small''' from my page because its "Too small" well I wanted to ask you what's good to use for it then? Should I use the command '''/sup''' and '''sup'''"? [[User:R3YBOl|R3YBOl]] ([[User talk:R3YBOl|talk]]) 14:38, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

:[[MOS:SMALLFONT]] states that the text font size should not drop below 85% of the page's default font size. The font size of the text in most infoboxes has already been reduced, so using {{tag|small}} within the infobox often drops the font size to below 85%. In the case of {{tl|Infobox military conflict}} in [[Sunpadh Rebellion]], using small tags reduces the font size to about 74%.  You could try {{tag|sup}}, but it would probably also drop the font size to below 85%. —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]] 15:17, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
::why I wouldn't use the span style to adjust the font size into 90-87? I think this would work but before I would try it, I wanted to ask that if it does break the policy of Wikipedia? [[User:R3YBOl|R3YBOl]] ([[User talk:R3YBOl|talk]]) 16:52, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
:::You can use span style to reduce the font size, but just remember that the percentage you use is that of the infobox font size, which is already a percentage of the page default. —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]] 17:38, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

== Disambiguation links ==

I'm not reverting you because I can't be bothered to battle this out, but your rationale is quite incorrect and the link you provide contradicts what you state. The whole point of piping a title is to remove the words in parenthesis for better reading, i.e. ''[[Bel Air (album)]]'' vs. [[Bel Air (album)|Bel Air]].

The format you are using, which I have never seen used before, is redundant. There is no point in using [[Bel Air (album)|''Bel Air'' (album)]] when you could just use ''[[Bel Air (album)]]'', i.e. Bel Air (album)|Bel Air (album) vs. Bel Air (album) -- the end result is the same with less characters used.

Again, piping the title is just used to clean up the text for reading purposes. You also ended up reverting some other changes I made that had nothing to do with disambiguation. [[User:Freshacconci|<b><span style="color: #000000;">freshacconci</span></b>]][[User talk:Freshacconci|<span style="color: #FF0000;"> (✉)</span>]] 12:40, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:@[[User:Freshacconci|Freshacconci]]: The format I am using is not mine, it's the MOS for [[disambiguation page]]s – see [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages]]. The disambiguator "(album)" in [[Bel Air (album)]] needs to be visible and not hidden with a pipe (see [[MOS:DABPIPE]]). So [[Bel Air (album)]] should be listed as <code><nowiki>[[Bel Air (album)|''Bel Air'' (album)]]</nowiki></code>, i.e. [[Bel Air (album)|''Bel Air'' (album)]]; "Bel Air" is italicized, but not "album" as it's not part of the album title.

== Hi Admin please help us GMA Pictures page vandalism issue  ==

I need help from you sinced you're autopatrolled confirmed use - with a Wikipedia issue. A user who was previously blocked for editing vandalism is now back and removing information from the GMA Pictures filmography page. The user's reasons for removal are invalid, and their actions are disrupting the page.

The user questions the integrity of IMDB, but IMDB is a reliable source that maintains comprehensive records of films, distributors, and producers worldwide. IMDB's data undergoes extensive verification, making it a trusted source for media organizations globally.

Here are the links to the vandalized edits:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_films_produced_and_released_by_GMA_Pictures&diff=prev&oldid=1287123125

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Kutsero&action=edit&redlink=1


Given the user's history of vandalism and lack of valid reasons for removing content, I request that Wikipedia's administrators review this user's actions and consider blocking them again to prevent further disruption.

Unfortunately, I don't have the power to block users. I recommend reporting this issue to Wikipedia's administrators through their designated channels. [[Special:Contributions/103.231.240.86|103.231.240.86]] ([[User talk:103.231.240.86|talk]]) 05:56, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

:Can you summoned a ANI/notice dashboard incident admin that user?
:Removing it even the content was properly cited.
:You cannot easily dictate IMDB team who also managed by Box Office Mojo. You cannot manufactured information for IMDB because all infornation you are going to contributed will undergo extensive process. This is all proven already that IMDB became source of all media organizations worldwide.

Hello Bruce,

The link I added was to verify that the telescope I made was real and exists.

It is a new site to show how it was made. The original wiki I had was closed down a few years ago and did not have time to build another one.

I am not promoting myself in that site just sharing information on telescopes and thier design.

Would it be possible to reinstate the link as before? Included below. Thanks Dave

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/23|Translations]] are available.

'''Weekly highlight'''
* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]].

'''Updates for editors'''
* It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384709]

'''Updates for technical contributors'''
* Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205]
* From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T381537]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.4|MediaWiki]]

'''Meetings and events'''
* Scholarship applications to participate in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/GLAM Wiki 2025|GLAM Wiki Conference 2025]] are now open. The conference will take place from 30 October to 1 November, in Lisbon, Portugal. GLAM contributors who lack the means to support their participation can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/GLAM Wiki 2025/Scholarships|apply here]]. Scholarship applications close on June 7th.

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts.

'''Updates for editors'''
* [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist expiry|watchlist expiry]] feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist-pageswatchlist|preferences]] also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265716]
[[File:Talk pages default look (April 2023).jpg|thumb|alt=Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages|Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.]]
* The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/19|some]] have already received this design change, [[phab:T379264|a few]] will get these changes later).

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T319146][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T392121]
* Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts [[phab:T358853|revealed automatically]] during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386492]
* This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-afwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cywiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hawwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-iswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-simplewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}.
