Daily gallery updater has failed on User:Donald Trung/OgreBot/Non-token Exonumia
Hello. This message is to inform you that a daily gallery in your userspace, User:Donald Trung/OgreBot/Non-token Exonumia, has failed. Due to software limitations, the bot has a hard upper-limit of about 6000 files per day (including overflow galleries), while your gallery had 21801 files.
This usually happens because a gallery is too broad, encompassing too many subcategories. Please review the logs here and request that a subcategory be excluded, or narrow your category choice(s).
Please make your request for removal within 4 days, or your gallery will be subject to removal.
Thank you. Magog the Ogre (via OgreBot (talk) 03:22, 25 November 2018 (UTC))

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- On wikis with translatable pages you could create a mess when you moved a page that had translatable subpages. A subpage is when you use
/
to create a new page:/wiki/Page/Subpage
. The subpages would be moved but not the translations. The subpages are no longer automatically be moved. This is to make it safer to move pages. [1]
Changes later this week
- The advanced search interface will be available by default on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. It's already active on German, Farsi, Arabic and Hungarian Wikipedia. [2]
- Special:UnusedCategories show empty categories with no files or other categories. You can soon choose to not show soft redirect categories or some maintenance categories there. You can do this with the magic word
__EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__
. [3] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 November. It will be on all wikis from 29 November (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 28 November at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The
mw.util.jsMessage()
function was deprecated in 2012. It will be removed next week. Look for the warningUse of "mw.util.jsMessage" is deprecated
in the JavaScript console to know if you use an affected script or gadget. If you are a gadget maintainer you should check if your JavaScript code containsmw.util.jsMessage
. There is a migration guide. It explains how to usemw.notify
instead. [4]

Starting a new WikiProject
Hi Donald Trung, I have a question regarding starting a new WikiProject. I understand you may not be the best person to ask this, but I see you have one of the most recently created WikiProjects so I assume you have some knowledge of the process. I read in Commons:WikiProject that new WikiProjects should be submitted to the WikiProject Council, but that page lists no current members and has almost no discussion on information on how to get it submitted/done. For example, what are the criteria for approval of a new project, how a new hidden category can be created for the project, when it is ok to start the project page (I see you had a draft page, but also don't see any discussion there). Any help would be most welcome! TiagoPereira (talk) 15:56, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- @TiagoPereira: I was wondering the same thing when I started WikiProject Numismatics but then I asked "User:Rehman" who was a sitting member of the WikiProject Council at the time and (s)he told me that the WikiProject Council has been inactive for many years and many of the most "recent" submissions were also many, many years old. So they advised me to just launch the WikiProject, I personally wanted to wait until I had 4 (four) members of which "User:Baomi" was its latest member upon launch. I drafted the WikiProject in "User:Donald Trung/DRAFT NAME" pages first and invited people to join first (for a current WikiProject "I'm working on" see: User:Donald Trung/WikiProject Books (Concept)), you could choose to do that (if you like) and then invite contributors to the area you want to start a project in.
- Regarding categories I just followed the Category:Commons WikiProjects category tree 🌳 and ended up emulating it. You could also create a template like {{User WPNumismatics}} for your WikiProject. If you have any more questions I'd love to hear them. And I'd advise you to ask former members of the WikiProject Council too (although this council itself is inactive now, or at least the last time I checked). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 20:09, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Donald Trung: Thank you for the quick reply, I will give it a try! TiagoPereira (talk) 15:28, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [5]
- Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [6]
- You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [7]
- When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [8][9]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 5 December at 16:00 (UTC) and at 23:00 (UTC). See how to join.
