Tech News: 2025-09

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

Updates for editors

Administrators can now customize how the Babel feature creates categories using Special:CommunityConfiguration/Babel. They can rename language categories, choose whether they should be auto-created, and adjust other settings. [17]
The wikimedia.org portal has been updated – and is receiving some ongoing improvements – to modernize and improve the accessibility of our portal pages. It now has better support for mobile layouts, updated wording and links, and better language support. Additionally, all of the Wikimedia project portals, such as wikibooks.org, now support dark mode when a reader is using that system setting. [18][19][20]
One new wiki has been created: a Wiktionary in Santali (wikt:sat:) [21]
View all 30 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug was fixed that prevented clicking on search results in the web-interface for some Firefox for Android phone configurations. [22]

Meetings and events

The next Language Community Meeting is happening soon, February 28th at 14:00 UTC. This week's meeting will cover: highlights and technical updates on keyboard and tools for the Sámi languages, Translatewiki.net contributions from the Bahasa Lampung community in Indonesia, and technical Q&A. If you'd like to join, simply sign up on the wiki page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Yosef (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Yosef (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because

it is a disambiguation page which either

disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or

it is a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" whose target is neither a disambiguation page nor page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Natg 19 (talk) 00:59, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander Paul Burton

I have to say I am VERY surprised that you moved this AI generated garbage to mainspace! Theroadislong (talk) 08:14, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also surprised that you moved this to mainspace. There are several issues with the article, including that the puffery is still there and there's a pretty clear lack of notability. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:07, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't garbage. Wikipedia has no rule against AI generated material that is then edited. How is it garbage? It is an objectively written piece. Do you have a personal vendetta against Alexander Paul Burton? It sounds like there might be a conflict of interest here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterLawriwBahan (talk • contribs) 12:00, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) PeterLawriwBahan There is certainly a conflict of interest which you are yet to correctly disclose as per the terms and conditions of editing Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 16:51, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
