- The URL of the Wikimedia wiki main pages could be changed. This is because the current URLs cause several problems. For example
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page
would behttps://www.wikidata.org/

- Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are no longer supported. This means the browsers might start looking a bit weird. They will not get security support. You can't read Wikimedia wikis in Internet Explorer on Windows XP or Windows versions that are older than Windows XP. This is because almost no one uses the browsers anymore. Supporting them made the wikis less secure for everyone else. [६]
- In the future section headings might have a share link. This is to make it easier to link to the section. You can read more and discuss.

Getting pages Live
Hi,
You once helped me out in getting a page live. Unlike English Wikipedia, the articles do not get reviewed here. Can you please explain the process or share some link which can help me comprehend the functioning of Wikipedia in other languages? After saving the article in my sandbox, I am unable to get it live. Lorde1801 (चर्चा) १७:२१, १५ ऑक्टोबर २०१९ (IST)
@Lorde1801: The ideologies and way of article creation is same in almost every Wikipedia. English Wikipedia has a huge amount of editors and article creations so in order to tackle backlog they have made the process of article creation under draft review. Other indic language Wikipedias like Hindi and English don't have that number of article creation so we directly publish it in live mainspace. You are experienced editor and I don't feel your articles must be reviewed b someone. We assume good faith in you and believe your contributions can help in creating this encyclopedia. U have any queries do feel free to note it below. Regards. --Tiven2240 (चर्चा) २३:०२, १५ ऑक्टोबर २०१९ (IST)
@Tiven2240: How do you directly publish a draft in live mainspace? Lorde1801 (चर्चा) १७:५७, २२ ऑक्टोबर २०१९ (IST)

Changes later this week

Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at 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. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team wants your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.
Talk pages project
The 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 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: 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 "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 visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.
Edit Cards
- On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
- There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links. There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.
- Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.
Toolbar
- In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
- One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
- New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
- Seamless switching: an 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 Toolbar feedback talk page.
Wikimania
The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in 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: 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: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
- Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The Editing team hopes to share results in November. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.

- You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser use very old TLS. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It can lead to downgrade attacks. Since 9 December you just see a warning. Soon the browser will not connect to the wikis at all. Most are users on Android systems older than 4.4. You can read the browser recommendations. [३१]
- Special:LinkSearch has been moved from the "पुनर्निर्देशन करणारी विशेष पृष्ठे" section on Special:SpecialPages to the "पृष्ठ याद्या" section. [३२]
Changes later this week
- Wikis can protect pages so that only some users can edit them. The standard protection levels are फक्त स्वयंशाबीत (ऑटोकन्फर्म) सदस्यांनाच परवानगी आहे and केवळ प्रचालकांना परवानगी आहे. If your wiki use more protection levels the technical name might be renamed for standardisation. This doesn't affect what users see. [३३]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 January. It will be on all wikis from 16 January (calendar).
Future changes
- Deepcat and Catgraph will stop working. This will happen at the end of January. This is because you can now use the normal search function instead. [३४]
- You can use
<ref follow="…">
to merge footnotes that follow each other. It is meant to be used for digitised books on Wikisource. If the order of the footnotes is wrong no error was shown but the bad <ref> was shown outside the <references /> list. This will change and you will see an error message instead. [३५]

Problems
- Some mobile diffs have problems. A couple of buttons are not shown. Structured data diffs on Commons are confusing. The developers are working on fixing it. [३८][३९]
- Administrators on wikis that use Structured Discussions can't move discussion pages. This is a bug. The developers are working on fixing it. [४०]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- There is JavaScript code on Special:Undelete for administrators that makes it possible to automatically select multiple checkboxes by holding the "Shift" key and clicking. This code is also loaded by accident on other special pages and on articles. This makes pages slower to load. This will be fixed. If you know of other special pages where this is useful please tell the developers at phab:T232688.

प्रचालकपद
नमस्कार,
सर्वानुमते जे ठरेल त्याप्रमाणे निर्णय घेण्यास माझी हरकत नाही. मी प्रचालक नसलो तरी विकिपीडिया संपादक म्हणून कार्यरत राहण्याचा प्रयत्न करेन... धन्यवाद.
