P1846 to P14226) == Hello everyone, This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>). '''The Change:'''<br /> Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]]. We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''. '''What You Need To Do:'''<br /> To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.

They are correctly displayed when viewed individually. They are no longer using FlaggedRevs, so it isn't a problem of sighting. When I start to change the Main page, I can select "show preview" and the leads show correctly, but when I save changes to the main page, a cached version of the leads remains. The date is correct, so I know the page is updating. I also tried <code>?action=purge</code> at the end of the URL and that doesn't work. They are properly displayed [[User:Michael.C.Wright/sandbox#Main_page_leads_test|in my Sandbox]] It's visible across three different browsers for me, even after clearing my browser caches.

I have no idea why this is happening. When I copy the content from the main page to my sandbox, the updated version shows up. It is only on the main page that this is happening.

I estimate 3-4 thousand pages are involved. For example all of the linked pages on [[Wikinews:Archives/Date/2010]] use DPL. There are 23 total "year" pages similar to that one, each with a page for nearly each month and a page for nearly each day of each month, all using DPL. I have no idea how to fix that short of utilizing a bot, which has been offered by [[User:Ladsgroup|Ladsgroup]] on a related [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T421796#11830506 Phabricator ticket]. There are some catches: # The bot was [[User talk:Dexbot#Unauthorized bot|indefinitely blocked]] by Pi zero 12 years ago,[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Dexbot] as it was "...operated without authorization in violation of project policy, and operated with an effective bot flag without local control as well as without authorization." Ladsgroup explained that the bot was removing inter-wiki translation links.[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T421796#11831335] Given that Pi is no longer with us, I believe community consent to unblock is recommended. # If the bot is unblocked, I believe it will still need admin and flood privileges in order to operate effectively, requiring community consent. We'd need to request a bureaucrat to make that change and there are already open and unresolved requests for them. We may need to engage Stewards. All of that would take time. Questions: * Are there any ideas for alternatives to the bot? * Are there any thoughts on unblocking and utilizing the bot? This isn't an official proposal yet, just seeing what others think.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 15:12, 19 April 2026 (UTC) == LUA enabled on read-only == @[[User:Pppery|Pppery]], @[[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]], @[[User:Ladsgroup|Ladsgroup]], do you know if LUA will remain available to the archived project once it is set to read-only?

the Wikinews long-term sustainability, levels of community activity, and the availability of reliable news coverage on other platforms, the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has [[:m:Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard#Board of Trustees Approves Closure of Wikinews|approved the closure]] of Wikinews. Following this decision, all Wikinews editions will transition to read-only mode one month after this announcement, on 4 May. From that date onward, pages on Wikinews will remain publicly accessible for reading, reference and dump downloading, but editing and new content creation will no longer be possible. Further information about the technical transition to read-only mode and the preservation of existing content will be shared in the coming weeks. We thank all contributors who have participated in Wikinews over the years and helped build a unique experiment in collaborative journalism within the Wikimedia movement, and we understand that some of them might be disappointed by this decision. To our regret, the project wasn’t able to fulfil its promise, and many of its functions were eclipsed by the notable news coverage in Wikipedias. We hope the Wikinews editors will continue contributing to the other Wikimedia projects or free knowledge projects.<section end="message"/> [[User:Victoria|Victoria]], Affiliate and Community Liaison to the Board, 09:59, 30 March 2026 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:Johan (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Johan_(WMF)/Wikinews_MassMassage_on_behalf_of_Lorenzo/Target_list&oldid=29712956 --> ::Pinging editors: @[[User:George Ho|George Ho]] @[[User:Wikiwide|Wikiwide]] @[[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]], @[[User:Dsuke1998AEOS|Dsuke1998AEOS]], @[[User:Ternera|Ternera]], @[[User:Monsieur2137|Monsieur2137]] @[[User:Asked42|Asked42]], @[[User:Sheminghui.WU|Sheminghui.WU]], @[[User:Koavf|Koavf]], @[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]]. @[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], @[[User:Heavy Water|Heavy Water]], @[[User:Bddpaux|Bddpaux]], @[[User:Lofi Gurl|Lofi Gurl]], @[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]], @[[User:Tduk|Tduk]], @[[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]], @[[User:Microchip08|Microchip08]], @[[User:RockerballAustralia|RockerballAustralia]], @[[User:SVTCobra|SVTCobra]], @[[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]], @[[User:Cromium|Cromium]], @[[User:William S.

I don't speak Russian so I couldn't ask at the project or on the page's talk page.

Wikinews was part of my entire college life -- it is going to be 11 years on enwn this May 1, but after Pi zero's death, and writing his obituary, it became very difficult for me to come back here. I will talk about this later. But for now, I would request you all to individually back up your own mailboxes. (I think if you log in via thunderbird, you would see an option to export the mails). I am not pulling the plug on the server yet. So you will have the access to mailboxes for the time being. Though should we move to some other host, we would have to see how we deal with the accredited requests and access to the mailboxes. For that, I will be lurking on Libera Chat, (OFTC, Slashnet, and tilde) on IRC as "acagastya". Additionally, I have my own IRC server irc.firebyagni.net:6667/6697 where I exist as "firebyagni".

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] ([[User talk:Gryllida|talk]]) 20:09, 2 April 2026 (UTC) :It has been so nice working with you, @[[User:Acagastya|Acagastya]]!!! :I think some issue with Wikinews are that it lacks social media exposure. Centralised 'one wiki somewhere' model can be confusing. Most real news papers pay someone to deliver their output to multiple channels (youtube, paper delivery to homes, newsletters to email, rss). These were not leveraged here. Even though things like Mastodon existed. :I think one open source project had encouraged everyone to have a fork of it in GitHub, so they can experiment and merge later if their changes were substantial and successful. Perhaps someone could provide web hosting and ask everyone to create a fork if they wanted to maintain it and implement some ideas how to setup the workflow. These could possibly go into subdomains like 'Username-copy.wikinews.org' or 'Something-region-Username.wikinews.org'. Someone would need to go around and collect content from forks into their own fork. This could increase innovation for software and/or activate regional groups. While also making it more fragmented -- or not really, since content licence allows derivative works and re distribution, so someone could play around with how to present the same content to users differently. I think this could be inevitable. :Connections with universities did not start beyond one university. This could be improved. :Just a few thoughts on perspective in light of what you wrote above. :(Wikinews helped me pass IELTS and TOEFL reading/writing components to 100%, and get a visa to Australia and cope with English language content in first year at uni. That was my impression.) :Have a great day.

'''Updates for editors''' * There is a change in how new users are autoconfirmed that will improve anti-vandalism protection. Currently, users who have had an account for a few days and made a few edits are automatically added to the [[{{int:grouppage-autoconfirmed/{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}}}|{{int:group-autoconfirmed}}]] group. This configuration tends to be exploited by some vandals, who create accounts and start to use them only after some time. To mitigate this, the configuration will be updated next week so that – for the purpose of becoming autoconfirmed – the account age will be counted from their first edit, instead of registration date. The numeric value of the age threshold will remain the same. This change will be deployed only to wikis which require at least one edit as part of the autoconfirmation conditions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418484] * All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the "automatically enable most beta features" option in their preference can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|reading lists]] beta feature to save articles for later reading.

It was raised prior to publication and should have been fully resolved during review. :::::::: I do appreciate you stepping back from reviews.

I don't, for example, know, nor can remember quickly, that WHO has a chairperson or some structure in it that votes on things; I can easily misuse or misplace their names. Reviewing a story with new vocabulary takes me two or three times as much time (which is my current environment comes in blocks of 5 minutes, rather often not a whole free hour, not to mention two, due the surrounding noise.)

It would be nice if there was a way to receive notifications of new edits on-wiki, with each notification being given a priority (for example, messages which ping me or are on my personal talk page or are on AAA are 'very high'; messages or edits to articles I watch are 'high'; everything else is 'average'). I haven't seen any way how this can be achieved. So my responses are spotty for now and I welcome any assistance in the setup. :* For the above reason, highlighting me or leaving me a message could help. (I'm two weeks behind on my echo notifications, but yet this is going to likely be something that I read among first items on my list when I am less busy.) :* I don't know what you want me to do. One option is to downgrade protection. What is the other option? What edits can I possibly make myself? The link in "downgrading the edit protection on the listed[3] page" contains a long discussion and does not include a list of pages I can immediately act on. :Thank you again.

That period of activity was one of the most productive we've had in a while. To me, this highlights two important things: # You’ve demonstrated through practice that the current review process may be too rigid for where we are as a project. # Lowering resistance in the review process while still maintaining standards, is likely a key part of improving participation and output. I’m not raising this to debate the method you used (which I do personally disagree with), but rather to point out that it effectively revealed areas where our current process may be holding us back. If we, as a community, can find ways to make review more flexible, without compromising the integrity of published work, I believe we could see real improvements. I would be interested to hear your thoughts if you're open to discussing possible reforms.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 13:54, 7 August 2025 (UTC) :I am open to discussion.

Are you envisioning a model closer to Wikipedia’s, where facts only need to be verifiable, meaning a reliable source exists somewhere, even if the reviewer hasn’t personally checked it, or do you still support Wikinews’ current approach, where all facts must be verified, that is, explicitly confirmed against the listed sources by the reviewer before publication?<br>2. [[mw:Citoid]] would allow us to use in-line citations that would appear in the article body. It may also be helpful in our archival process. It could be considered part of the "shift toward the wiki model" that I mentioned [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals#c-Michael.C.Wright-20250807134200-Gryllida-20250806180200|here]].[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 22:26, 7 August 2025 (UTC) :::::1 is still unclear. In wikipedia i verify each source. Someone writes "moon is blue [1]", if i saw that edit and taking care of it, i will check it out and verify. As reader, as reviewer of new draft, as reviewer of new edit patrol. Whatever. :::::1a. In "only check 5W", only the 5W is cross checked against sources. Everything else is cross checked reviewer time permitting (not more than 10 extra mins). If there was something i couldnt verify in 10 min, and it is not major ("not 5W or a major claim"), i leave a note i did not check it and publish anyway. I do not ask to fix, wait 2 days for author to vanish etc etc. :::::2.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 00:15, 8 August 2025 (UTC) == Note on source and reviewer roles == I want to follow up on something from the recent review discussion for the [[Interview with the president of the Fusion, answering common questions: Australia needs to break through|Wolfendale interview]]. At one point, you told me not to request a source for the statement that the party is “emerging.” Even if the party is new, calling it “emerging” is not a purely factual description. It’s an evaluative term that implies both growth and increasing relevance. That’s an interpretation, and in wikivoice it would be presented as fact, which risks crossing into analysis. Per [[WN:CS]], any such statement needs either a reliable source or clear attribution. As a contributor to that article, you were involved in its development, so there’s a conflict of interest in directing another reviewer on how to apply sourcing requirements. I also want to be clear that I do not view you, or any other individual reviewer, as having reviewer authority over others. Reviewers work independently, and no one reviewer can waive core policy requirements for another. I understand you were aiming to move the article forward, but phrases like “don’t request a source” can be read as pressure to lower standards, which risks setting a precedent that undermines fairness and consistency in the review process. My concern here is about process integrity, not intent.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 14:10, 11 August 2025 (UTC) :If it is not neutral, then do not request source. Delete it or request it to be changed to neutral. Requesting source is confusing and does not get your point across. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 20:45, 11 August 2025 (UTC) : I marked “emerging” as unsourced because [[WN:CS]] requires every statement in wikivoice to be sourced or clearly attributed. In this case, it’s both an evaluative term and unsupported by a source, making it a verification issue first and a neutrality issue as a result. Flagging it as opposed to deleting it allows another contributor to either provide a source or rephrase it, and it keeps me uninvolved as a reviewer. : I could delete it, but the article would still be unpublishable. Flagging it instead gives another contributor, such as yourself, the opportunity to correct the underlying problem if they wish to keep the statement. : It looks like we'll have to agree to disagree on approach here.

There are two very important aspect there that will affect how Wikinews will work in the future. ::* The way you define "emerging" with the bit about increasing relevance looks subjective to me. (Not your subjective definitoj, but putting the word in a news story makes it subjective or biased or promotional). Marking it with source required does not convey the full meaning of the request. It is why instead of relying on an inline tag it is better to leave a more specific note on the talk page. ::* it is a detail and not a part of 5W. In the interest of fast publishing, it may be removed, and a note added in the review comments stating why it was removed. ::If you disagree with any of the two above points, please elaborate and do not end the conversation, as I am happy to clarify why I wrote it and address any counter argument.

I’ve been vocal about my position on [[User:Michael.C.Wright/sandbox/The problem|The problem]], and to be clear, I don’t ''expect'' anyone to contribute, nor do I believe anyone should be "penalized" for circumstances beyond their control. The issue isn’t individual behavior; it’s structural. When articles go stale because no reviewer is available, that isn’t punishment. It’s the inevitable result of our [[WN:Fresh|freshness]] <s>policy</s> guideline, which exists to ensure we publish ''news'' while it’s still ''news.'' Ignoring that principle would undermine the mission itself. That said, I share your frustration. No one wants to see contributors’ work lost to process failures. I too have had many articles deleted due to low reviewer activity. As someone interested in reviewing, it’s worth noting that we do have [[WN:IAR|Ignore all rules]], and I have explicitly invoked it, for example, [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Wikinews_interviews_Australian_Fusion_Party_President_Drew_Wolfendale#Review_of_revision_4877835_%5BPassed%5D here], when doing so clearly improved the project. But those cases should remain exceptional and serve to highlight where policy and workflow need reform, not to justify routine circumvention. Our task isn’t to abandon the rules; it’s to fix the system so contributors’ work can succeed within a process that’s flexible, fair, and true to our mission. To that end, I’d encourage you to look at the various proposals, both current and archived, at [[Wikinews:Water cooler/proposals]]. If you feel strongly about any of them, please weigh in, or propose new ideas that might help us move forward.

(Last 10 days I was busy with moving house and was sleeping about 4 hours a night. I didn't check my talk page or the wiki during these 10 days.) :# We have several reviewers who are lacking the sense of urgency. It was long agreed that if a part of an article was questionable and is not essential then it can be removed and then re-added within 24 hours (with changes implemented as requested) after it was published. Some reviewers continue to make gnome edits and delay publishing by requesting these changes to be made. :# Burn out is a part of this issue. Many reviewers tried to be consistently available every day and burned out. This issue also applies to article authors. No system or platform exists now that could encourage users to become available, for example, 3 days a fortnight to commit to contributing to one news article during that time to progress it to completion. :# Authors often lack the sense of urgency. There is no platform that pings a user properly. Wiki 'notifications' don't send a notification box on the screen when the tab is open, not to mention when it is closed. Most users have smartphones. Android app for Wikinews could help to resolve this. There is a Telegram group and a discord group. In the telegram group there is a bot that notifies when new drafts are made and when they are submitted for review. This is helpful to me personally. Asked42 is there. As far as I know other reviewers are not. :# Leadership issues were raised at the water cooler. Recruitment of new authors and reviewers and developers is part of that role.

[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 10:11, 25 November 2025 (UTC) == A new version of EzPR == Hi, a new version of the Easy Peer Review script has been prepared. Built on the legacy of the current version, it includes more features and has a more modern look and design. If you are interested, you can try it out and let me know what you think [[User talk:Asked42/EPR (new version)|on this talk page]]. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them as well. This is currently an initial testing version. After installing the script, you can test it on any of your user sandbox pages (make sure the page contains the {{tl|review}} template). You may need to set up your sandbox to look like a draft article. If you don't want to do that extra work, you can instead try it on [[User:Asked42/sandbox2|my sandbox page]] to see how the script behaves in different situations, such as pass review, fail review, exception review, etc. I haven't prepared any documentation pages yet since it's still too early and more modifications may be needed. So you'll have to follow your intuition while testing it (I will try to prepare some basic documentation soon). Hopefully this won't be too difficult, as I have tried to keep the design simple. Still if you need help or don't understand something feel free to ask me. To install it, copy the code and add it to [{{fullurl:Special:MyPage/common.js|action=edit}} your common.js page]. You will then see a "Review (EPR v2)" option in your p-tb (or your tools menu) on any user-namespace page that contains the review template. After clicking the option a form should appear on the article. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" copy> {{subst:lusc|1=User:Asked42/EPRv2.js}} </syntaxhighlight> --[[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 14:46, 19 November 2025 (UTC) :You can find some information about some of the features at [[User:Asked42/EPR (new version)]]. --[[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 14:47, 19 November 2025 (UTC) ::Thanks. I will check it out. I got feedback from Wikipedia that it is better not to have markup inside of a page because then the user may have issues with how to remove it to re-submit for review. I think it is best to only do this on the talk page. I will try it out and will let you know. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 10:01, 20 November 2025 (UTC) :Thanks. It would be good to have documentaton. And also I think it would be good to have software in Wikinews namespace (or whatever location gadgets are in) rather than user space unless there is a specific issue with doing that. Please keep me updated. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 09:59, 20 November 2025 (UTC) ::More clarification on what I wrote, there are 'Gadgets', they are easy to enable in Special:Preferences page. I think tools like this which are open for beta testing could just be added there as it is easy to find the script there and get started using it without manually copy pasting things. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 10:02, 20 November 2025 (UTC) :I added it to my common.js and now I am not seeing any UI. Even my existing 'Review' link disappeared. (I am using Timeless skin.) [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 10:16, 20 November 2025 (UTC) ::No it did not disappear but I don't see where the new one appeared... ::Regarding new template wordings and changes, in the 'review' template, I did not like that 'Pre-Review' became a thing now, it is more important to jump in and edit, or maybe 'go through a checklist', pick a verb that emphasizes that this is something that the user (including original author) is encouraged to do before submitting for review. I am not sure how to phrase this more clearly. I will leave a note if I come up with a more specific description. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 10:19, 20 November 2025 (UTC) :::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]: Let me answer these one by one: :::# "I got feedback from Wikipedia that it is better not to have markup inside a page because users may have issues removing it before re-submitting for review." - The markup feature is completely optional for reviewers. They can turn it off if they don't want to use it and no markup will be added. Also, the markup related part is only a very small portion of the script. :::# About making it a gadget: Yes, we can turn it into a gadget, but since this is an initial version, it's better for users to test it first, let us refine the code, and then implement it as a gadget once a final, stable version is ready. I don't think it is good practice to add beta versions of scripts directly as gadgets. :::# How to test it: You can try the script on [[User:Asked42/sandbox2]] or on any of your own sandbox pages (just make sure they include the review template). On those sandbox pages, you will find an option called "Review (EPRv2)" in your "Page tools" menu (left sidebar). :::## This will not affect the current EzPR gadget in any way. :::## The script is currently allowed only in the user namespace for testing. Once ready, it will be enabled for use on articles. :::#About Pre-review: I have nothing to add regarding pre-review. Just to clarify: pre-review is not part of the new version of Easy Peer Review. It is handled by a different script. The pre review process already existed on Wikinews long before I joined; I only created a form-based interface to make pre review easier. :::-- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 10:51, 20 November 2025 (UTC) ::::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]], If you have any other questions about the script or maybe criticisms, feel free to share them. I will try to put together proper documentation as soon as I can. But as I mentioned earlier, I believe the interface of the reviewing form isn't too complicated (though that may feel different from person to person). -- [[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 10:57, 20 November 2025 (UTC) ::::Ohh ok only in userspace.

It would be much easier if the tool interactively added these entries when user selected a text on the page. Copy pasting the text from article into a box is inefficient and time consuming. Will note more things later, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 19:07, 25 November 2025 (UTC) :Hi again @[[User:Asked42|Asked42]] :-) :1. FYI I suggest '''more compact''' feedback in 'issue, reason, suggested fix' but in more compact format. Example :# The article has grammar errors in paragraph one. They should be fixed. :# The article names person X as John. This is incorrect. They are named Rob. :# ... :So for template I would put this :---- :The article has several issues requiring revision. Starting from major issues, followed by minor issues, they are listed below. :# (This part of report) has (this issue) This should be (describe requested fix here) :# &nbsp;<!-- added this annoyance because the wiki wouldn't display empty bullet points--> :# &nbsp; :# &nbsp; :# &nbsp; :----- :2. I would suggest making it possible for a reviewer to define their own templates in their user space. Like a button '+-' in the templates insert dialog. I know this kind of defeats the purpose but in my experience each reviewer has their own preferences about the way they phrase their feedback. Or some particular way to phrase things. :3. Suggest the templates insert themselves on '''double click''' so I don't have to waste time clicking a template name and then clicking 'insert'. :4. Suggest that when saving the review, the tool automatically highlights the users who previously contributed to the article, in the edit summary. :It is still early in the morning so please excuse me if I missed something. :Many thanks for this, it is amazing tool. :Regards, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 19:14, 25 November 2025 (UTC) ::For 2, if some of custom templates from a reviewer make sense, can be added to templates for all. Just clarifying this point; I do not expect it to be a pathway to endless differences. [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 20:14, 25 November 2025 (UTC) ::@[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]]: thank you for trying this out. ::# Regarding: "''It would be much easier if the tool interactively added these entries when the user selected text on the page.''" ::#: Implementing interactive text selection would require significantly more effort and additional lines of code, especially considering that the sentence-marking feature itself is still uncertain in terms of how useful or widely used it will be during reviews. At this stage, I think it may not be practical to invest heavily in building this interactive functionality without knowing whether sentence marking will be used frequently. ::#:It might be best to first observe whether multiple reviewers actually use the sentence-marking feature. If it proves useful, we can certainly consider adding interactive selection in a future update. Personally, I don't think it will be too inconvenient for reviewers to copy and paste specific text manually, usually there will only be a few sentences to mark, perhaps 4-5 at most. But I may be wrong, so let's see how the feature is adopted and then evaluate improvements. ::# Regarding the comment templates: the template you are referring to is [[Template:CommentTemplate/1]]. All comment templates should follow this format, such as [[Template:CommentTemplate/2]], [[Template:CommentTemplate/3]], and so on. If you would like to modify or create new ones, you are very welcome to do so. I'd greatly appreciate it if you create more comment template formats. ::# The idea of allowing users to define their own templates is interesting. I will consider how this could be added and integrated into the script. ::# For the fourth point: could you please give an example of such an edit summary? ::--[[User:Asked42|Asked42]] ([[User talk:Asked42|talk]]) 20:40, 25 November 2025 (UTC) == Wikinews future status == I really hope Wikinews stays alive!

Several recent issues — including three retraction requests and a correction — have involved unsupported statements remaining in articles after review. Additionally, you have publicly stated that you do not perform full verification as part of your review process and have proposed reducing verification expectations in the review workflow. Those proposals have not achieved consensus and have received pushback from other reviewers. For clarity: Under [[WN:REV]], reviewers are responsible for verifying that all factual claims in an article are supported by the cited sources prior to publication. [[WN:CS]] requires that published content be accurate and verifiable. [[WN:Archive]] presumes that archived articles reflect a fully reviewed and source-supported record. Until these policies are changed by consensus, they remain binding. Review standards cannot be unilaterally reinterpreted. Accordingly, I am requesting that future reviews fully comply with existing verification requirements. If there is a desire to formally redefine the scope of review, that discussion should occur at the policy level and reach clear consensus before being implemented in practice. Please confirm that future reviews will adhere to current policy standards.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 18:02, 7 February 2026 (UTC) :I do not believe a 100% to the letter check was done by any previous reviewer.

Have they been addressed somehow, or do they still require action now? :::::::::# I do not agree with the claim that I decided to 'put them into practice' (about 'review only 5W [and plagiarism]') for all future submissions. I could do this, however, if required in the context of a given event, a given report and a given timing. I did it a few times in the past and I saw some other people do the same. I do not think that it would constitute a policy violation. Even though that is not documented. The reason why I do not think this would constitute policy violation is because I am still waiting for comments from other reviewers about their reviewing practices. Without that comment it is pretty hard to continue this discussion. :::::::::# I refuse to engage into further discussion about "Hi, you must be <new or disruptive> here, go read the documentation". It is an eye sore. I am not a nuisance here and I am not doing arbitrary changes. :::::::::# If you wish further discussion, you need to put it about each '''''article issue''''' separately in a new section on my talk page. Again, I refuse to engage into "hey your review quality is bad in general". Issue needs to be discussed for each article. Maybe after substantial amount of issues and they recurring the discussion could be opened again. :::::::::# I do not agree that I must stay up to date with whole project. I tried and I opened a discussion when it was already archived, it was from a mention notification. I can stay up to date but there is a limit on my time available and I will read some notifications a week or two later. If the issue is important and urgent and requires substantial amount of reading or writing or thinking/processing, it needs to be mentioned on my talk page. :::::::::# I also maintain my desire to propose further changes to relax reviewing. There may be another dozen or two of such proposals and complementing software being developed. This should not strengthen your position about my bad quality of reviews. The only point that will strengthen this position is issues in articles being identified. :::::::::# I maintain that this is yourself that increased review standard. There was written policies in the context of the late @[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] being available 16 hours a day. Other reviewers (apart from Pi zero) have not been that thorough to my understanding and I believe it was not a major issue. The requirement to be that thorough for all with a post mortem being done at time of archival is a workflow change and I do not think it was discussed anywhere or approved in consensus. :::::::::# This will be especially valuable if these issues are identified within less than 24 hours after publishing, because this is when the article receives the most readers. :::::::::Hope this is helpful. Please note I was thinking out loud and some of the statements may be imprecise. I was not enjoying these notes because it were things which are self obvious and in Wikinews there is a guideline to work towards quality of news, not towards quality or volume of meta discussions. I would appreciate if the meta discussions were kept to a minimum. In an effort to reduce my burn out, I may wish to postpone my further involvement in this discussion to a minimum, and I may just be able to respond to comments which actually involve inquiry about a current article. :::::::::I am still open to discussion of the above issues as I am hoping that this discussion may come up with substantial changes that can be done either to articles or to workflows if needed. :::::::::Regards, [[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 23:46, 14 February 2026 (UTC) :::::I think a balance needs to be struck between the quality of our output (and therefore the rigor of reviews) and the amount of time the community can actually spend on maintaining standards.

Just a 'lite' observation, nothing more. I've noticed (over recent weeks) your nominations/encouragement for certain contributors (new, recently returned, darned near brand new, only show up 3 times per year) to engage in '''cleaning up vandalism''' etc. etc. (I have hardly reviewed most of those peoples' contribution histories, so bear that in mind). I think the trap of "We're so glad you're here!"-mindset can muddy the waters a bit. We're all volunteers -- nobody gets that more than I do. But, I hope we can be very careful with our language for newbies at this place. People have to earn trust at this place; that means putting in the work. They show up, they edit, they engage, they do the things reporters do and ''then'' we start talking about hanging special stickers on their page -- and '''not until they've shown who they are'''. There is a pathway that needs to be followed. I very deeply feel we need to remember our "roots" around here.

Does anyone have access to the bot and if so, can we configure it to welcome new, temporary accounts with a recommendation to 1. Register their accounts and 2. direct them to our primer on what ''Wikinews'' is not. Below is a draft idea: <blockquote>'''Welcome to Wikinews!''' You may edit without creating an account. If you do, your edits will be attributed to a temporary username (for example, <code>~2026-12345-67</code>) rather than displaying your IP address. If you’d like to submit news, we’re glad to have your help. Please ensure your work follows ''Wikinews''' policies on [[wn:npov|neutrality]], [[WN:CS|sourcing]], and [[wn:copyright|originality]]. Before starting an article, review [[Wikinews:What Wikinews is not#What Wikinews articles are not|what Wikinews is not]] — opinion pieces and editorial content do not qualify as news. Creating a registered account is free and provides additional editing privileges, such as uploading media. Wikinews relies on contributors developing a reputation based on their edits, and a stable username helps build that reputation over time.</blockquote> @[[User:Asked42|Asked42]] and @[[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]], as our resident tech gurus, can either of you tackle this or point us in the right direction to who can?

Having said that, would you be willing to code such a bot to automatically post a welcome message to newly created temporary accounts after the following conditions are met: :: 1. The account becomes [[Wikinews:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed]] (I believe that happens after four days)<br>2. The account has made at least one edit here, not counting edits to their own user page or talk page :: These requirements are meant to avoid sending a welcome message to a global, temporary account when the user has no plans to contribute to this project (as mentioned by [[#c-Codename_Noreste-20260209035100-Michael.C.Wright-20260206213700|Codename above]]). :: Since this is a low-priority task, we could ensure the bot has a "light touch" by having it check only every 24 hours, or whatever you find is a good period for a low-priority task. :: The {{tl|welcome-anon}} would suffice but I personally think the notice should be simpler and cleaner. I think welcome-anon is too busy, too complicated, and over-loaded. I assume that many people see a lot of text (including tabs of more text) and simply skip reading it. Which is why I proposed the text above, which can, of-course, be edited to meet consensus on what message we want to convey to such users.[[User:Michael.C.Wright|Michael.C.Wright]] (^{[[User_talk:Michael.C.Wright|Talk]]}/_{[[User:Michael.C.Wright/reviewer|Reviewer]]}) 14:26, 1 March 2026 (UTC) :::I can code that.

Local administrators can configure various aspects of the feature via [[{{#special:EditChecks}}]].

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. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T413912] * 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.

This is going to be changed to only store Notifications from the last 5 years, but up to 10,000 of them.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T373686][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T416111] * The Wikipedia Android team has started a beta test of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Information Retrieval/Phase 1|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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Mandatory two-factor authentication for users with some extended rights|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 [[phab:T418580|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.

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 [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|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.

This is for the datacenter server switchover backup tests, [[wikitech:Deployments/Yearly calendar|which happen twice a year]]. During the switchover, all Wikimedia website traffic is shifted from one primary data center to the backup data center to test availability and prevent service disruption even in emergencies. * Last week, all wikis had 2 hours of read-only time, and extended unavailability for user-scripts and gadgets. This was due to a security incident which has since been resolved. Work is ongoing to prevent re-occurrences. For current information please see the [[m:Steward's noticeboard#Statement on Meta about today's user script security incident|post on the Stewards' noticeboard]] ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Product and Technology/Product Safety and Integrity/March 2026 User Script Incident|translations]]). '''Updates for editors''' * Users facing multiple blocks on mobile will now see the reasons for each block separately, instead of a generic message. This helps them understand why they are blocked and what steps they can take to resolve the issue. For example, users affected for using common VPNs (such as [[Special:MyLanguage/Apple iCloud Private Relay|iCloud Private Relay]]) will receive clearer guidance on what they need to do to start editing again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T357118] * Later this week, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Suggestion Mode|Suggestion Mode]] will become available as a beta feature within the visual editor at all Wikipedias. This feature proactively suggests various types of actions that people can consider taking to improve Wikipedia articles, and learn about related guidelines. The feature is locally configurable, and can also be locally expanded with custom Suggestions. Current settings can be seen at [[Special:EditChecks]] and there are [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Suggestion mode#For administrators %E2%80%93 local customization|instructions for how administrators can customize]] the links to point to local guidelines. The feature is connected to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit check|Edit check]] which suggests improvements while someone is writing new content.

Higher limits will be applied to identified traffic in April. 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 [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits|Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits]]. * The new GraphQL API has been released.

'''Updates for editors''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CodeMirror|{{int:codemirror-beta-feature-title}}]] beta feature, also known as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|CodeMirror 6]], has been used for wikitext syntax highlighting since November 2024.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259059] * Some changes to local user groups are performed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and logged there only.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T6055] * On wikis using [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Flagged Revisions|Flagged Revisions]], the number of pending changes shown on [[{{#Special:PendingChanges}}]] previously counted pages which were no longer pending review, because they have been removed from the system without being reviewed, e.g. due to being deleted, moved to a different namespace, or due to wiki configuration changes. The count will be correct now. On some wikis the number shown will be much smaller than before. There should be no change to the list of pages itself. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T413016] * Wikifunctions composition language has been rewritten, resulting in a new version of the language. This change aims to increase service stability by reducing the orchestrator's memory consumption. This rewrite also enables substantial latency reduction, code simplification, and better abstractions, which will open the door to later feature additions. Read more about [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-03-11|the changes]]. * Users can now sort search results alphabetically by page title.

Following this decision, all Wikinews editions will transition to read-only mode one month after this announcement, on 4 May. From that date onward, pages on Wikinews will remain publicly accessible for reading, reference and dump downloading, but editing and new content creation will no longer be possible. Further information about the technical transition to read-only mode and the preservation of existing content will be shared in the coming weeks. We thank all contributors who have participated in Wikinews over the years and helped build a unique experiment in collaborative journalism within the Wikimedia movement, and we understand that some of them might be disappointed by this decision. To our regret, the project wasn’t able to fulfil its promise, and many of its functions were eclipsed by the notable news coverage in Wikipedias. We hope the Wikinews editors will continue contributing to the other Wikimedia projects or free knowledge projects.<section end="message"/> [[User:Victoria|Victoria]], Affiliate and Community Liaison to the Board, 11:34, 30 March 2026 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:Johan (WMF)@metawiki using the list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Johan_(WMF)/Wikinews_MassMassage_on_behalf_of_Lorenzo/Target_list&oldid=29712956 --> :Already got it, thanks.

Because at that rate, I have no willingness to contribute to Wikipedia itself - they are keeping it "relevant" by absorbing news reporting into encyclopaedia, which is cheating (and I don't think they have RSS feed - because their "breaking news" articles are not 'prepare and publish', they are 'publish and edit and improve over time').

'''Weekly highlight''' * The Beta version of [[abstract:|Abstract Wikipedia]] a new Wikimedia project which is language-independent, was launched last week. The project allows communities to build Wikipedia articles in their native language, which can be readily accessed by other users in their own languages. The wiki is powered by instructions from Wikifunctions and also based on structured content from Wikidata. [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-03-26|Read more]]. '''Updates for editors''' * The Growth team is running an A/B test to evaluate a clearer, more user-friendly message that promotes account creation on wikis. Currently when logged-out mobile users begin editing, they see a jarring warning message that can feel abrupt and discouraging. This also presents temporary account editing as the default rather than encouraging account creation. The test is running on ten Wikipedias, including Arabic, French, Spanish and German. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments#2. Improve logged-out warning message (T415160)|Read more]]. * The Wikimedia Apps team is inviting feedback on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Future of Editing on the Mobile Apps|how editing should work on the Wikipedia mobile apps]]. The discussion focuses on improving how users access editing tools when they tap "Edit".

Whether you’re checking your body weight, comparing product details, or preparing for travel, understanding this conversion helps you avoid confusion and make better decisions. A unit converter is one of the easiest ways to handle this. Instead of doing manual calculations every time, you can instantly switch between pounds and kilograms with accurate results. This saves time and ensures you always get the correct value, especially when precision matters. In real life, this conversion shows up more often than you might expect. For example, if you are tracking your fitness progress, some apps or gym machines may display weight in pounds, while others use kilograms. Without a quick way to convert, it can be difficult to keep your data consistent. A simple converter solves this problem instantly and helps you stay focused on your goals. Travel is another common situation where this becomes useful. Airlines often list baggage limits in different units depending on the country or airline. If you are not familiar with both pounds and kilograms, it can convert pounds to kilograms and lead to confusion while packing. Using a converter makes it easy to understand limits clearly and avoid extra charges at the airport. Online shopping also benefits from this tool. Many international websites list product weights in pounds, especially if they are based in regions where that system is common. If you are using a [https://convertlbstokg.com/ convert lbs to kg] , a converter helps you quickly understand how heavy an item really is. This is especially helpful when buying items like gym equipment, electronics, or bulk goods. Another advantage of using a unit converter is speed. Instead of trying to estimate or calculate manually, you can get an instant lb-to-kg result with just one input. This is particularly helpful in situations where you need quick answers, such as comparing multiple products or checking weight limits on the go. Over time, using a converter regularly also helps you develop a natural understanding of how pounds and kilograms relate to each other. Even without a tool, you may start recognising approximate values, which makes everyday decisions faster and more confident. From an SEO perspective, “convert lb to kg” is a highly searched term because people are constantly looking for quick, accurate, and easy solutions. Providing a clear, user-friendly conversion experience not only answers this need but also improves usability and engagement. In simple terms, an lb-to-kg unit converter is more than just a tool—it’s a practical solution for modern life. It helps you stay accurate, saves time, and makes it easier to work with weight measurements across different systems, no matter where you are or what you’re doing.

The move comes one year after Portugal closed its Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) scheme to new applicants, leaving Cyprus as one of the few remaining EU jurisdictions offering broad dividend tax exemptions for incoming residents. == Background == The Cyprus Non-Dom regime exempts qualifying tax residents from Special Defence Contribution (SDC) on dividend and interest income for up to 17 years. Under the regime, dividends are subject only to a 2.65% General Healthcare System (GHS) contribution with no income tax applied. Cyprus also operates a 60-Day Rule, which allows tax residency with as few as 60 days of annual presence, making it accessible to internationally mobile professionals and entrepreneurs. == European context == The European Commission has intensified efforts to reduce harmful tax competition within the EU, including through implementation of the OECD Pillar Two global minimum corporate tax of 15%. Portugal terminated its NHR scheme in January 2024 following domestic political pressure. Italy amended its flat-tax regime for foreign income in 2023. Greece's €100,000 flat-tax scheme for non-domiciled individuals remains active but has faced scrutiny from the European Commission. == Cyprus position == The Cyprus Ministry of Finance has not indicated plans to modify the Non-Dom regime for 2026. Cyprus raised its corporate income tax rate from 12.5% to 15% in 2023 in compliance with the EU minimum tax directive, but kept individual taxation structures intact. The country continues to position itself as an EU-compliant low-tax jurisdiction for international business. == Sources == * {{source |url=https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs |title=Tax Policy and Customs Union |pub=European Commission |date=April 28, 2026 (date of access) }} * {{source |url=https://www.mof.gov.cy/mof/TAX/taxdep.nsf/home_en/home_en?OpenDocument |title=Cyprus Tax Department |pub=Cyprus Ministry of Finance |date=2026 }} * {{source |url=https://www.oecd.org/tax/beps/ |title=BEPS and Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax |pub=OECD |date=April 28, 2026 (date of access)}} == Related == * [https://cyprustaxlife.com/learn/non-dom Cyprus Non-Dom Status: Complete Guide for 2026] * [https://cyprustaxlife.com/learn/60-day-rule Cyprus 60-Day Rule: Tax Residency Guide] [[Category:Cyprus]] [[Category:Economy and business]] [[Category:European Union]] [[Category:2026]] ngij80j7evnq9jirfz2vjan4hva48so 0 3094734 5022858 5022822 2026-04-29T12:50:53Z Metropolitan90 314212 dab ABC News 5022858 wikitext text/x-wiki {{review}} {{date|29 April 2026}} Charles III, the King of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms, has delivered a speech at the United States Congress.
