Latest ”'[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]”’ from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/43|Translations]] are available.
”’Updates for editors”’
* To optimize how user data is stored in our databases, the saved preferences of users who haven’t logged in for over five years and have fewer than 100 edits will be cleared. When those users return, default settings will apply. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T406724]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:20}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:20|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. For example, there was a broken link from the GlobalContributions interface message to the XTools GlobalContributions page which has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T406415]
”’Updates for technical contributors”’
* The work to reroute all traffic to API endpoints under the <code dir=ltr><nowiki>rest.php</nowiki></code> route through a common API gateway is now complete. If any issues are observed, please file a phabricator ticket to the [[phab:tag/serviceops/|Service Ops team board]].
* Edits to Wikidata references or qualifiers will now be shown in RecentChanges and Watchlist entries on other wikis less often, reducing unnecessary notifications. This will reduce the overall quantity of ‘noisy’ entries. Wikidata’s own pages remain unchanged. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401290]
* [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.24|MediaWiki]]

Callanecc is busy and may not respond swiftly to queries. |  |

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages is appreciated. |

Hi, this is a kind notification that I’ve requested removal of your user page’s protection at WP:RPP#User:Callanecc. The protecting admin is you, but I see you last edited 20 July 2025, so I thought it would be futile me leaving a message here as there are also big notices saying you’re busy 🙈 and I’d likely forget. I hope you don’t mind me taking it to WP:RPP ‘first’. waddie96 ★ (talk) 15:33, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- Why on Earth does it matter if a user page is protected? And if it did, it’s hardly such an emergency that it can’t be discussed with the user the page belongs to simply because they’ve been inactive for a few weeks. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:42, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- It’s not an emergency I didn’t mean to startle you? waddie96 ★ (talk) 22:10, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- What I mean to say is , I would’ve forgotten, so just sort it now? It’s not like I’m reporting someone to police; it’s an admin/maintenance thing. Thanks for your understanding waddie96 ★ (talk) 22:11, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
Hello. Back in 2020, you closed out the SPI for NC-2017 with the summary “I’ve blocked the sock, but left the master unblocked as there are some good edits.”
Since then, your forbearance has been rewarded with them editing exclusively about their company, and now recreating the barely sub-G4 autobio Rowan Winch. What are your thoughts? Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 09:44, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Wikishovel, I’ve left them a modified welcome template with some information on editing with a COI. I wouldn’t say that they’re causing any real harm at the moment so my advice would be that it’s just about keeping an eye on them and supporting them to understand our requirements around sourcing and COIs.

Regarding your recent CU block for Fittu123 (talk · contribs · block log), can you confirm if Template:Uw-lockedorindefinitlyblockedonenglishwikipedia is G5 eligible? I was about to bring it to TfD but it’d make things easier if it can just be nuked right away. Perryprog (talk) 03:40, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
- It is and I’ve deleted it. Thank you. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:28, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
