User talk:Cromium: Difference between revisions

Hello Cromium I am a new French Wikipedia user and I cannot contribute because the range 89.84.112.0/20 is globally locked for 1 year with the reason "Long term abuse". I sent to the stewards and they couldn't unblock me. And I can't create an account either. I tried a VPN and it doesn't work either ... My IP addresses are 89.84.127.39, 89.84.127.41 and 89.84.127.44. Can you shorten the duration of the block or do I have to wait another 8 months? 121.145.136.78 11:42, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I would suggest that you request an account on English Wikipedia by following the instructions at WP:Request an account. Once you have an account and you log in at English Wikipedia, go to any page in French Wikipedia. That will automatically create a local account there. You can then choose to edit at either of those wikis or any of the other hundreds available. If you struggle to log in, I’d recommend you ask for a local IP block exemption on the administrator page on French Wikipedia. See the following page for instructions: fr:Wikipédia:Exemption de blocage d'IP. After that you should be set. [₂₄Cr][talk] 14:53, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

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

A oauth_consumer variable has been added to the AbuseFilter to enable identifying changes made by specific tools. [1]
Gadgets are now able to directly include JSON pages. This means some gadgets can now be configured by administrators without needing the interface administrator permission, such as with the Geonotice gadget. [2]
Gadgets can now specify page actions on which they are available. For example, |actions=edit,history will load a gadget only while editing and on history pages. [3]
Gadgets can now be loaded on demand with the withgadget URL parameter. This can be used to replace an earlier snippet that typically looks like withJS or withCSS. [4]
At wikis where the Mentorship system is configured, you can now use the Action API to get a list of a mentor's mentees. [5]
The heading on the main page can now be configured using MediaWiki:Mainpage-title-loggedin for logged-in users and MediaWiki:Mainpage-title for logged-out users. Any CSS that was previously used to hide the heading should be removed. [6] [7]
Four special pages (and their API counterparts) now have a maximum database query execution time of 30 seconds. These special pages are: RecentChanges, Watchlist, Contributions, and Log. This change will help with site performance and stability. You can read more details about this change including some possible solutions if this affects your workflows. [8]
The sticky header has been deployed for 50% of logged-in users on more than 10 wikis. This is part of the Desktop Improvements. See how to take part in the project.

Recent changes

When using WikiEditor (also known as the 2010 wikitext editor), people will now see a warning if they link to disambiguation pages. If you click "Review link" in the warning, it will ask you to correct the link to a more specific term. You can read more information about this completed 2021 Community Wishlist item.
You can automatically subscribe to all of the talk page discussions that you start or comment in using DiscussionTools. You will receive notifications when another editor replies. This is available at most wikis. Go to your Preferences and turn on "Automatically subscribe to topics". [9]
When asked to create a new page or talk page section, input fields can be "preloaded" with some text. This feature is now limited to wikitext pages. This is so users can't be tricked into making malicious edits. There is a discussion about if this feature should be re-enabled for some content types.

Changes later this week
