  • Tech News: Some of the latest updates from Tech News week 34 and 35: An A/B test comparing two versions of the desktop donate link launched on testwiki and English Wikipedia for 0.1% of logged out users on the desktop site. The experiment will run for three weeks, ending on 12 September; Administrators can now access the Special:BlockedExternalDomains page from the Special:CommunityConfiguration list page. This makes it easier to find.
  • Spread Wikilove, thank comments: A new improvement was added to the “Discussion toolsBeta feature; it is now possible to thank a user for their comment. This new feature is released for a 3-months long test.
  • Community Wishlist: Template authors can now use additional CSS properties, since the CSS sanitizer used by TemplateStyles was updated. These improvements are a Community Wishlist wish.
  • Wikipedia Mobile Apps: The Android app team has launched a new experiment in Italy that lets logged-out readers of Italian and English Wikipedia set their own donation reminders based on how often they read. This new approach responds to feedback from donors who say their motivation to give is tied to their reading habits. Instead of one-size-fits-all banners, readers can now choose reminders that fit their own usage, all while keeping their privacy intact.

Woah, déjà vu —Another Believer (Talk) 21:00, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

UK Online Safety Act remains undefeated.

Plus Wiki rules, Wiki Spin, and physicists get street cred!

The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.

And other new research findings.

Tis true: there’s magic in the web of it.

With the usual mix of war, death, super heroes, a belt, and Wednesday.

It’s an easy one.

Thanks for uploading File:Petunia’s Pies & Pastries logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 05:20, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Articles created or improved during the United States 20,000 Challenge indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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. Liz Read! Talk! 22:10, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz Seems this has been fixed. I assume has something to do with pages being renamed from 50,000 Challenge to 20,000 Challenge. Thanks! —Another Believer (Talk) 15:51, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge/NewPageSearch hasn’t been updated since 2016 and has a notation “don’t use this page anymore”. Do you think it ought to just be deleted? ☆ Bri (talk) 15:48, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bri Sure! Or feel free to redirect to Wikipedia:The United States 20,000 Challenge. —Another Believer (Talk) 15:50, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. It might be simplest if you request {{Db-g7}}, rather than me, since I am not the author and I’d have to try for another speedy criterion or grind through a MfD. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:54, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
