===Happy Thanksgiving Comrad Kilroy!===
Had to lay down a n00b-esque post [[User:Nlalic|Nlalic]] ([[User talk:Nlalic|talk]]) 16:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


===Orphaned fair use image (Image:Kenneth Pinyan.jpg)===
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Kenneth Pinyan.jpg]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently [[WP:O|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see [[Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy|our fair use policy]]).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thank you. This is an automated message from [[User:BJBot|BJBot]] 23:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

=== Image:Boeing History Timeline.PNG ===
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Boeing History Timeline.PNG]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:Image:Boeing History Timeline.PNG|the image description page]] and edit it to add <code><nowiki>{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}</nowiki></code>, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:Boeing History Timeline.PNG|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 48 hours after this notification, per our [[WP:FUC|Fair Use policy]].  If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Replaceable --> —[[User:Angr|'''An''']][[User talk:Angr|''gr'']] 20:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


=== May 2007 ===
{{{icon|[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] }}}Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. An article you recently created, [[:Allodoxaphobia]], may not conform to some of Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:List of policies|guidelines]] for new articles, so it will shortly be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|removed]] (if it hasn't been already). Please use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]] for any tests you may want to do and please read our [[Wikipedia:Introduction|introduction page]] to learn more about contributing. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-create1 --> --<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">[[User:TREYWiki|<span style="font-weight: bold; color: green;">TREYWiki</span>]]</span> 15:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

===Use of minor edit tag===
{{{icon|[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] }}}Please remember to mark your edits{{#if:The Thin Red Line (1998 film)|, as you did to [[:The Thin Red Line (1998 film)]]}} as '''m'''inor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see [[Wikipedia:Minor edit]]). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette.  The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' {{{{{subst|}}}#if:{{{2|}}}|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}} <!-- Template:uw-minor --> [[User:Dce7|Dce7]] 06:33, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

However, the image is currently [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia.

===The Blur of Insanity===
A "{{[[Template:prod|prod]]}}" template has been added to the article [[The Blur of Insanity]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]).  You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the <code><nowiki>{{dated prod}}</nowiki></code> notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on [[Talk:The Blur of Insanity|its talk page]]. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion process]], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]] or it can be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

=== Image corrections ===

Greetings; you uploaded the images [[:Image:Tours utsi.jpg]] and [[:Image:Utsi logo.jpg]] in...well...2005.  Somehow, these images have escaped notice of the admins, which is perhaps fortunate as there are several problems with them.  For the first image, was this an image you took?  If so, it needs to be properly licensed to indicate that you are freely releasing the image into the public domain; if not, then it needs a source specified (website address or other), a proper fair-use license, and a fair-use rationale.  For the second image, because it is definitely fair-use, it needs a source specified, a proper license (probably {{tl|Non-free logo}}, and a rationale.  If you need any help with this, let me know and I'll do what I can.  Thanks! -- [[User:Huntster|<span style="font-size:13px; font-variant:small-caps; text-decoration:none;">Huntster</span>]] <sup style="font-size:9px;">[[User_talk:Huntster|T]] • [[Special:Emailuser/Huntster|@]] • [[Special:Contributions/Huntster|C]]</sup> 23:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

==== Images for speedy deletion ====
Please be aware that the two above images have been tagged for deletion because of improper license and absense of any verifiable source.  Please '''''Do Not''''' remove the tags from these images unless you can provide both of the above items.  If you require any assistance doing this, please let me know. -- [[User:Huntster|<span style="font-size:13px; font-variant:small-caps; text-decoration:none;">Huntster</span>]] <sup style="font-size:9px;">[[User_talk:Huntster|T]] • [[Special:Emailuser/Huntster|@]] • [[Special:Contributions/Huntster|C]]</sup> 04:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

==={{{header-text|[[:Music video production]]}}}===
A tag has been placed on [[:Music video production]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. 

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] wait a while for you to add contextual material.  To do this, affix the template '''<code>{{tl|hangon}}</code>''' to the page and state your intention on the article's [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.<!-- Template:Empty-warn --> [[User:Videmus Omnia|Videmus Omnia]] 02:59, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

===Image source problem with Image:MSC.Software.JPG===
[[Image:Nuvola apps important blue.svg|64px|left|Image Copyright problem]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:MSC.Software.JPG]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{Tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use]]. See [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=upload&user=ConradKilroy this link]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the image is copyrighted under a [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|non-free license]] (per [[Wikipedia:Fair use]]) then '''the image will be deleted [[WP:CSD#I7|48 hours]] after 18:26, 30 October 2007 (UTC)'''. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-no source-notice --> —[[User:Angr|'''An''']][[User talk:Angr|''gr'']] 18:26, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

===Fair use rationale for [[:Image:MSC.Software.JPG]]===
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:Image:MSC.Software.JPG]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to [[:Image:MSC.Software.JPG|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|fair use rationale]].

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

Seeing ''[[The American Astronaut]]''?--[[User:DoctorWho42|DrWho42]] ([[User talk:DoctorWho42|talk]]) 19:18, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

==Invitation to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle6  Meetup/Seattle6], a focus group==
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided.  Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? [https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/commprac/70741  RSVP here]. Want to know more? Visit our [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Commprac01  user talk page ]. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! [[User:Commprac01|Commprac01]] ([[User talk:Commprac01|talk]]) 21:42, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

==Request to participate in University of Washington survey based on ideas gathered during the Wikipedia focus group you were invited to attend==
Hello. Back in March, you expressed interest in attending our Wikipedia focus group sessions but were unable to attend. The goal of those sessions was to gather feedback to help design an embedded application that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what our participants thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you.  

To take the survey, [https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/commprac/78947 click this link.]

== [[:File:Nastran.strut.jpg]] needs authorship information ==

<div style="padding:5px; background-color:#E1F1DE;">'''Dear uploader:''' 

The media file you uploaded as [[:File:Nastran.strut.jpg]] appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source),
or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media
clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

*If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{tlxs|usernameexpand|{{PAGENAME}}}} will produce an appropriate expansion,</br> or use the {{tl|own}} template.

* If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see [[Help:File page#File description|Help:File page]]. Thank you. [[User:Sfan00 IMG|Sfan00 IMG]] ([[User talk:Sfan00 IMG|talk]]) 15:15, 29 December 2011 (UTC)</div><!-- Template:Add-author -->

A tag has been placed on [[:MSC Software]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit '''[[Talk:MSC Software|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication of deleted content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you. <!-- Template:Db-notability-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> -- [[User:Alan Liefting|Alan Liefting]] ([[User_talk:Alan_Liefting|talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Alan_Liefting|contribs]]) 06:05, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Since the last newsletter, the [[:mw:VisualEditor|VisualEditor Team]] has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor.  They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool.  Their workboard is available [[:phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]].  You can find links to the list of work finished each week at [[:mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings|mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings]].  Their [[:mw:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|current priorities]] are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a [[:mw:Beta_Features|beta feature]], and improving language support.   

=== Recent changes ===
*You can now set text as small or big.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T53613] 
*Invisible templates have been shown as a puzzle icon.  Now, the name of the invisible template is displayed next to the puzzle icon.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T141861]  A similar feature will display the first part of hidden HTML comments.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147089]
*Categories are displayed at the bottom of each page.  If you click on the categories, the dialog for editing categories will open.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T145267]
*At many wikis, you can now add [[:mw:Maps|maps]] to pages.  Go to the Insert menu and choose the "Maps" item. The Discovery department are adding more features to this area, like geoshapes. You can read more on MediaWiki.org.[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Discovery#Maps]  
*The "Save" button now says "Save page" when you create a page, and "Save changes" when you change an existing page.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T139033]  In the future, the "{{int:Savearticle}}" button will say "{{int:Publishpage}}".  This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems.  More [[:m:Editing/Publish|information is available on Meta]].
*Image galleries now use a visual mode for editing.  You can see thumbnails of the images, add new files, remove unwanted images, rearrange the images by dragging and dropping, and add captions for each image.  Use the "Options" tab to set the gallery's display mode, image sizes, and add a title for the gallery.<u>[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T45037]</u>
=== Future changes ===
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 [[:mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts|"Phase 6" Wikipedias]] during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at [[:mw:Topic:St8y4ni42d0vr9cv|the feedback thread on mediawiki.org]]. This will affect several languages, including [[:w:th: |'''Thai''']], [[:w:my: |'''Burmese''']] and [[:w:arc: |'''Aramaic''']].

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor.  The [[:mw:2017 wikitext editor|2017 wikitext editor]] will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools.  This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016.  You can read about this project in a [[:mw:VisualEditor/Roadmap/Update_2016-06-23|general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list]].

Since the last newsletter, the [[:mw:VisualEditor|VisualEditor Team]] has spent most of their time supporting [[:mw:2017_wikitext_editor|the 2017 wikitext editor mode]] which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding [[:mw:VisualEditor/Diffs|the new visual diff tool]]. Their workboard is available [[:phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]].  You can find links to the work finished each week at  [[:mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings|mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings]].   Their [[:mw:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|current priorities]] are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a [[:mw:Beta Features|beta feature]], and improving the visual diff tool.   

=== Recent changes ===

A '''new wikitext editing mode''' is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices.  The [[:mw:2017 wikitext editor|2017 wikitext editor]] has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools.  Go to [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures]] to enable the {{int:Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label}}. 

A new '''[[:mw:VisualEditor/Diffs|visual diff tool]]''' is available in VisualEditor's visual mode.  You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs.  More features will be added to this later.  In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143350]

The team have added [[:mw:Editing/Projects/Columns_for_references|multi-column support for lists of footnotes]]. The <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens.  This makes footnotes easier to read.  You can [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=Cite,VisualEditor,Wikimedia-Site-requests&title=Convert%20reference%20lists%20over%20to%20`responsive`%20on%20XXwiki&priority=10&parent=159895 '''request multi-column support'''] for your wiki. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T33597]

Other changes:
* You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153356]
* The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116417]
* The {{int:visualeditor-categories-tool}} item has been moved to the top of the {{int:visualeditor-pagemenu-tooltip}} menu (from clicking on the  [[File:VisualEditor - Icon - Menu.svg|alt="hamburger"|24x24px]] icon) for quicker access. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T74399] There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149009]
* You can now create <code><nowiki><chem></nowiki></code>  tags (sometimes used as <code><nowiki><ce></nowiki></code>) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153365]
* Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T157989]
* The {{int:visualeditor-specialcharacter-button-tooltip}} menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) .  The team thanks the volunteer developer, [[:S:en:User:Tpt|Tpt]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108626]
* A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page.  This has been fixed.  The team are sorry for the disruption. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T154217]
* There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations:  <code>Control</code>+<code>Shift</code>+<code>K</code> on a PC, or <code>Command</code>+<code>Shift</code>+<code>K</code> on a Mac.  It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is <code>Control</code>+<code>K</code> on a PC or <code>Command</code>+<code>K</code> on a Mac. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99299]

=== Future changes ===
* The VisualEditor team is working with the Community Tech team on a syntax highlighting tool.  It will highlight matching pairs of <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tags and other types of wikitext syntax.  You will be able to turn it on and off.  It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101246]
* The kind of button used to {{int:Showpreview}}, {{int:showdiff}}, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors.  The new buttons will use [[:mw:OOjs UI|OOjs UI]].  The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read.  The labels will remain the same.  You can test the new button by editing a page and adding <code>&ooui=1</code> to the end of the URL, like this:  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1  The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes.  [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T162849]
* The [[:mw:File:Edit_toolbar_-_2.png|outdated 2006 wikitext editor]] will be removed later this year.  It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors.  See [[:mw:Editor|a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org]] if you are uncertain which one you use.  [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T30856]

Please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|read the instructions]]. You can [[phab:T127354|ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki]]</mark>.

===Let's work together===
*The team is planning a presentation about editing tools for an upcoming [[m:Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meetings|Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting]].
*Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors.  If your community wants this, then please contact [[mw:User talk:Deskana (WMF)|Dan Garry]].
*The <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> block can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Projects/Columns for references|automatically display long lists of references in columns]] on wide screens.  This makes footnotes easier to read.  This has already been enabled at the English Wikipedia.  If you want columns for a long list of footnotes on this wiki, you can use either <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> or the plain (no parameters) <code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code> template.  If you edit a different wiki, you can [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=Cite,VisualEditor,Wikimedia-Site-requests&title=Convert%20reference%20lists%20over%20to%20`responsive`%20on%20XXwiki&priority=10&parent=159895 '''request multi-column support'''] for your wiki.

Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device? 
[[File:Mobile editing watchlist star editing pencil.png|alt= Screenshot showing the location of the pencil icon|center|frameless|250px]]

Tap on the pencil icon to start editing.  The page will probably open in the wikitext editor. 

You will see another pencil icon in the toolbar.  Tap on that pencil icon to the switch between visual editing and wikitext editing.

Since the last newsletter, the [[mw:Editing|Editing Team]] has wrapped up most of their work on the [[mw:2017 wikitext editor|2017 wikitext editor]] and [[mw:VisualEditor/Diffs|the visual diff tool]].    The team has begun investigating the needs of editors who use mobile devices.  Their work board is available [[phab:project/view/3236/|in Phabricator]].  Their [[mw:Wikimedia Audiences/2018-19 Q2 Goals#Contributors|current priorities]] are fixing bugs and improving mobile editing.    

=== Recent changes  ===
* The Editing team has published an [[mw:Mobile editing using the visual editor report|initial report about mobile editing]].   
* The Editing team has begun a design study of visual editing on the mobile website.  New editors have trouble doing basic tasks on a smartphone, such as adding links to Wikipedia articles.  You can [[:c:File:Visual Editor Heuristic - Results.pdf|read the report]]. 
* The Reading team is working on a [[mw:Reading/Web/Advanced mobile contributions|separate mobile-based contributions project]]. 
* The 2006 wikitext editor is [[mw:Contributors/Projects/Removal of the 2006 wikitext editor|no longer supported]].  If you used [[:File:Edit toolbar - 2.png|that toolbar]], then you will no longer see any toolbar.  You may choose another editing tool in your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|editing preferences]], [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|local gadgets]], or [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta features]]. 
* The Editing team described the history and status of [[mw:Extension:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]] in [[m:Wikimedia monthly activities meetings/2018-03|this recorded public presentation]] (starting at 29 minutes, 30 seconds). 
* The Language team released [[mw:Content translation/V2|a new version of Content Translation]] (CX2) last month, on [[foundationsite:2018/09/30/international-translation-day/|International Translation Day]].  It integrates the visual editor to support templates, tables, and images.  It also produces better wikitext when the translated article is published.

[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Day|Wikipedia Day]] celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, [[meta:Cascadia Wikimedians|Cascadia Wikimedians]]' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia.

Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either [[public domain]] or [[Free license|free-licensed]]. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations.

Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the [[Asahel Curtis]] Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the [[History of Wikipedia#2001|18th anniversary of Wikipedia]] by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and  identifying and correcting errors. [[User:Jmabel]] has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done.

For more information, please see [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos]].

|Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.

Let’s change that.

To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color.

Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided.

All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required!

Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants.

</div></div>

Welcome back to the [[mw:Editing|Editing]] newsletter.    

Since [[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter/2018/October|the last newsletter]], the team has released two new features for the [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile|mobile visual editor]] and has started developing three more.  All of this work is part of the team's goal to [[metawiki:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2018-2019/Audiences#Outcome 3: Mobile Contribution|make editing on mobile web simpler.]]   

Before talking about the team's recent releases, we have a question for you:   

'''Are you willing to try a new way to add and change links?'''

If you are interested, we would value your input!  You can try this new link tool in the mobile visual editor on a separate wiki. 

''Follow these instructions and share your experience:'' 

'''[[mw:Topic:V394zwrigth8ii7c|📲 Try Edit Cards]].'''   

=== Recent releases ===
The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the [[Mw:Reading/Web/Mobile#About|mobile site]].  The Editing team has recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor: 

# [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Section editing|Section editing]]
#* The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
#* The team studied this with an A/B test.  [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Section editing#16 June 2019|This test showed]] that contributors who could use section editing were '''1% more likely to publish''' the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
# [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile#March 1, 2019|Loading overlay]]
#* The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.

Section editing and the new loading overlay are '''now available to everyone''' using the mobile visual editor.

=== New and active projects ===
This is a list of our most active projects. [[mw:Help:Watching pages|Watch]] these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.

*[[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Edit cards|Edit cards]]: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles.  You can try this feature now.  ''Go here to see how:'' [[mw:Topic:V394zwrigth8ii7c|📲''Try Edit Cards'']]''.''
*[[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Toolbar refresh|Mobile toolbar refresh]]: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
*[[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/VE mobile default|Mobile visual editor availability]]: This A/B test asks:  ''Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor?''  We are collaborating with [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/VE mobile default#26 June 2019 %E2%80%93 Participating wikis and test start date|20 Wikipedias]] to answer this question.
*[[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Usability improvements|Usability improvements]]: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use.  The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.

=== Looking ahead ===

* '''Wikimania:'''  Several members of the Editing Team will be attending [https://wikimania2019.wikimedia.org/wiki/ Wikimania] in August 2019.  They will lead a session about mobile editing in the [[wmania:2019:Community Growth/Visual editing on mobile: An accessible editor for all|Community Growth space]].  Talk to them about how editing can be improved.
* '''Talk Pages:'''  In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019|improving talk pages]] and communication on the wikis.

=== Learning more ===
The [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile|VisualEditor on mobile]] is a good place to learn more about the projects we are working on. The team wants to talk with you about anything related to editing.

== Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages – October 2019 ==

<em>[[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter/2019/October|Read this in another language]] • [[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter|Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter]]</em>

Inside this newsletter, the [[mw:Editing|Editing team]] talks about their work on the [[mw:Mobile visual editor|mobile visual editor]], on [[mw:Talk pages project|the new talk pages project]], and at [[wikimania:|Wikimania 2019]].      

=== Help ===
'''What talk page interactions do you remember?''' Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else?  Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!  

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page.  <mark>Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the '''[[mw:Topic:V8d91yh8gcg404dj|talk page for this project]]'''.</mark>  The team would value your examples.  These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

=== Talk Pages ===
The [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019|Talk Pages Consultation]] was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools.  The [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Phase 2 report|Phase 2 Report]] of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: [[mw:Talk pages project|Talk Page Project project page]]. 

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage.  They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the [[mw:Talk pages project#Getting involved|'''"Getting involved"''']] section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

=== Mobile visual editor ===
The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices.  The team is changing the [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile|visual editor on mobile]]. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at [[mw:Talk:VisualEditor on mobile|Talk:VisualEditor on mobile]].

* In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar.  Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
** <em>One toolbar:</em> All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar.  Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
**<em>New navigation:</em> The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
**<em>Seamless switching:</em> an [[phab:T228159|improved workflow]] for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
* Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the [[mw:Topic:V79x6zm8n6i4nb56|Toolbar feedback talk page]].

=== Wikimania ===
The Editing Team attended [[wmania:2019:Program|Wikimania 2019]] in Sweden. They led a session on [[wmania:2019:Community Growth/Visual editing on mobile: An accessible editor for all|the mobile visual editor]] and a session on [[wmania:2019:Community Growth/After Flow: A new direction for improving talk pages|the new talk pages project]].  They tested [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Toolbar refresh#v1 prototype|two]] new [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Edit cards#v3 prototype|features]] in the mobile visual editor with contributors.  You can read more about what the team did and learned in [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile#Wikimania Stockholm: Overview|the team's report on Wikimania 2019]].

=== Looking ahead ===

*'''Talk Pages Project''':  The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes.  The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: [[mw:Talk pages project#Getting involved|'''Getting involved''']].
*'''Testing the mobile visual editor as the default''':  The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/VE mobile default|'''VisualEditor as mobile default project page''']].
*'''Measuring the impact of Edit Cards''':  The Editing team hopes to share results in November.  This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations.  The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Edit cards|'''Edit Cards project page''']].

== Doodle: Cascadia Wikimedians User group 2019 annual meeting ==
Hi Cascadia Wikimedians,

First of all, we have two new members, Dr. Mel Ganus, who is mainly active in the San Diego area but sometimes visits Seattle, & Peter Meyer who is active with Wikimedia DC .

I will be emailing Peter & Conrad Kilroy (Ravin Pierre) through their Wikipedia email as I do not have their individual email addresses.

Here is a Doodle poll for proposed meeting times for our 2019 annual meeting.
:https://doodle.com/poll/274u2tk965rbcnb4

My apologies for getting this out so late. I had intended to do this directly after the WikiConference North America that took place over Veteran's Day weekend, but since then my car got broken into & has been in the shop, I have had a dental emergency, I have contracted a bad head & chest cold, helped host a Thanksgiving dinner at our house for about 40 people, hosted my adult kids from Hawaii & California for Thanksgiving weekend, & come down with the shingles.

I will create an annual report & a conference report. I hope to meet with Joe when we are jointly available to go over 2019 finances. I do not think we have had any expenditures this year.

I will take care of setting up Zoom somehow. I will be in British Columbia after the 27th, so if we meet on the 28th, 29th or 30th, I will need to join by zoom. I am getting a Jabra 510 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker to help with teleconferencing / videoconferencing.

I hope everyone has had a good start to the holiday season.

Yours,

{{User|Peaceray}}

Hello, ConradKilroy

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[:RIP Medical Debt]] for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

* [[mw:Talk pages project/replying|<strong>Reply tool</strong>]]: This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias).  The Beta Feature will get [[mw:Talk pages project/replying#Version%202.0|new features]] soon.  The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing <code>@</code>.

[[File:50 million desktop visual editor edits.png|thumb|On 16 March 2020, the '''50 millionth edit''' was made using the visual editor on desktop.|400px]]

Seven years ago this week, the [[mw:Editing team|Editing team]] made the visual editor available by default to all logged-in editors using the desktop site at the English Wikipedia.  Here's what happened since its introduction:

* The <strong>50 millionth edit using the visual editor on desktop</strong> was made this year.  More than <strong>10 million</strong> edits have been made here at the English Wikipedia.
* More than <strong>2 million new articles</strong> have been created in the visual editor. More than 600,000 of these new articles were created during 2019. 
* Almost <strong>5 million edits on the mobile site</strong> have been made with the visual editor.  Most of these edits have been made since the Editing team started improving the [[mw:Mobile visual editor|mobile visual editor]] in 2018.
* The <strong>proportion of all edits</strong> made using the visual editor has been <strong>increasing every year</strong>.
* Editors have made more than <strong>7 million edits in the 2017 wikitext editor</strong>, including starting <strong>600,000 new articles</strong> in it.  The [[mw:2017 wikitext editor|2017 wikitext editor]] is VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode.  You can [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|enable it in your preferences]].
* On 17 November 2019, the [https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/first-edit-made-to-wikipedia-from-outer-space/2254 <strong>first edit from outer space</strong>] was made in the mobile visual editor.
* In 2019, <strong>35% of the edits by newcomers</strong>, and half of their first edits, were made using the visual editor.  This percentage has been increasing every year since the tool became available.

=== Reply tool ===
[[File:Reply Tool weekly edits- March - June, 2020.png|thumb|333px|The number of comments posted with the Reply Tool from March through June 2020. People used the Reply Tool to post over <strong>7,400 comments</strong> with the tool.]]

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/replying|<strong>Reply tool</strong>]] has been available as a [[mw:Beta Feature|Beta Feature]] at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020.  The [[mw:Talk pages project/replying#Metrics|first analysis showed positive results]].

* More than <strong>300 editors</strong> used the Reply tool at these four Wikipedias.  They  posted more than <strong>7,400 replies</strong> during the study period.
* Of the people who posted a comment with the Reply tool, about 70% of them used the tool multiple times.  About 60% of them used it on multiple days.
* Comments from Wikipedia editors are positive.  One said, <span lang="ar" dir="rtl">أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة.</span>  ("I think the tool has a significant impact; it saves time to reply while the classic way is to move with a mouse to the Edit link to edit the section or the page which is generally far away from the comment. And the user reaches to the edit box so quickly to use the Reply tool.")[https://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=49242252&oldid=49242144]

The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August.  Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages.  If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell [[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)]].

The Reply tool is still in active development.  Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to [[phab:T249391|customize the edit summary]].  (The default edit summary is "Reply".)  A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode.  This feature searches for usernames.  Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to [[phab:T258743|set its own preferred symbol]] for pinging editors.  Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can [[phab:T249861|define a preferred signature prefix]] in the page [[MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix]].   For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures.  Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.

=== New requirements for user signatures ===

* The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/New requirements for user signatures|new requirements for custom user signatures]] began on 6 July 2020.  If you try to create a custom signature that does not meet the requirements, you will get an error message.
* Existing custom signatures that do not meet the new requirements will be unaffected <em>temporarily</em>. Eventually, all custom signatures will need to meet the new requirements.  You can [https://signatures.toolforge.org check your signature and see lists of active editors] whose custom signatures need to be corrected.  Volunteers have been contacting editors who need to change their custom signatures.  If you need to change your custom signature, then please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/New requirements for user signatures/Help|read the help page]].

=== Next: New discussion tool ===

Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/New discussion|New Discussion Tool]] project page on your watchlist.

=== Reply tool ===
[[File:Junior Contributor Reply Tool and full page edit completion rate.png|alt=Graph of Reply tool and full-page wikitext edit completion rates|thumb|300px|Completion rates for comments made with the Reply tool and full-page wikitext editing. Details and limitations are in this [https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/wikimedia-research/Discussion-tools-analysis-2020/blob/master/Engagement-Metrics/Reply-Tool-Workflow-Engagement-Metrics.ipynb#Reply-Tool-(Wikitext-and-VE)-vs-Full-Page-Wikitext report].]]
The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/replying|<strong>Reply tool</strong>]] is available at most other Wikipedias. 

* The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|preference]] to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias. 
* It is also available as a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Beta Feature|Beta Feature]] at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias.  If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following [[mw:Topic:W1crei3lyn3mvewc|these simple instructions]].

<strong>Research notes:</strong> 

* As of January 2021, <strong>more than 3,500 editors</strong> have used the Reply tool to post about <strong>70,000 comments</strong>.
* There is preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool.  [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk pages project/Glossary|Junior Contributors]] who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments that they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/wikimedia-research/Discussion-tools-analysis-2020/blob/master/Engagement-Metrics/Reply-Tool-Workflow-Engagement-Metrics.ipynb#Reply-Tool-(Wikitext-and-VE)-vs-Full-Page-Wikitext]
* The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page.  About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[https://dtcheck.toolforge.org/] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for [[Special:LintErrors]].
* [[File:Венов_дијаграм.svg|30px]] <strong>A large [[w:en:A/B test|A/B test]] will start soon.</strong>[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T252057] This is part of [[mw:Talk pages project/replying#Step%204:%20A/B%20test|the process]] to offer the Reply tool to everyone.  During this test, half of all editors at [[phab:T267382|24 Wikipedias]] (''not'' including the English Wikipedia) will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. Editors at those Wikipeedias can still turn it on or off for their own accounts in [[Special:Preferences]].

=== New discussion tool ===
[[File:New Discussion Tool v1.0.png|thumb|380px|Screenshot of version 1.0 of the [[mw:Talk_pages_project/New_discussion|New Discussion Tool]] prototype.]]
The new tool for [[mw:Talk pages project/New discussion|starting new discussions]] (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures]] at the end of January.  You can try the tool for yourself.[https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/3e14959a196db0f7b0c32a35c99dc0fc/w/index.php/Project:Teahouse]  You can leave feedback [[mw:Topic:Vzswfe2hn2zuuwtc|in this thread]] or on the talk page.

''[[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter/2021/June|Read this in another language]] • [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter|Subscription list for this newsletter]]''

[[File:Reply Tool A-B test comment completion.png|alt=Junior contributors comment completion rate across all participating Wikipedias|thumb|296x296px|When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. ([https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/ Source])]]

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of [[mw:Talk pages project/Replying|the Reply Tool]].  The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped [[mw:Talk pages project/Glossary|newer editors]] communicate on wiki.  The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.   

The key results were:

* Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were [https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/ more likely] to post a comment on a talk page.
* The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also [https://wikimedia-research.github.io/Reply-tools-analysis-2021/ less likely] to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.  

'''Looking ahead'''

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months.  This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to [[phab:T280599|resolve a technical challenge]].  Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the [[phab:T267379|Wikipedias that participated in the study]].  After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.   

You can turn on "Discussion Tools" [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|in Beta Features]] now.  After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion]].

==Concern regarding [[Draft:Buy now, pay later (credit finance)]]==
[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, ConradKilroy. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that [[Draft:Buy now, pay later (credit finance)]], a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.  Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for [[WP:MAINSPACE|article space]].

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under [[WP:G13|CSD G13]].  If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request [[WP:USERFY|userfication]] of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occurred, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available [[WP:REFUND/G13|here]].

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. [[User:FireflyBot|FireflyBot]] ([[User talk:FireflyBot|talk]]) 16:04, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello, ConradKilroy. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|Draft]] page you started, "[[Draft:Buy now, pay later (credit finance)|Buy now, pay later]]". 

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]], the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can [[WP:REFUND/G13|request its undeletion]]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. <!-- Template:Db-draft-deleted --><!-- Template:Db-csd-deleted-custom --> <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 15:43, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

[[File:Junior Contributor New Topic Tool Completion Rate.png|thumb|New editors were more successful with this new tool.]]

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools#New discussion tool|'''New topic tool''']] helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages.  New editors are more successful with this new tool.  You can [[mw:Talk pages project/New topic#21 April 2022|read the report]].  Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis.  You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default]].  You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion]].

The Editing team plans to '''change the appearance of talk pages'''.  These are separate from the changes made by the [[mw:Desktop improvements]] project and will appear in both [[Mw:Vector 2010|Vector 2010]] and [[Mw:Vector 2022|Vector 2022]].  The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles.
