Unsubscribing

@CKoerner (WMF): I've been getting too much email from Diff and so wanted to unsubscribe some languages. I tried clicking the unsubscribe link in the emails but that didn't get me very far as it didn't recognise me. I tried logging into Diff directly and listed the subscriptions in my profile but the list is empty. Is there a troubleshooting guide for this please? Andrew D. (talk) 19:45, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Andrew. Yeah, we post a lot on Diff and the emails can be a bit much. Something we're working on is more granular control over what you get in your inbox. I'm trying to figure out what is happening in your particular case. I too am getting a strange error when I click the "Manage your email settings or unsubscribe" link in the footer of the emails. Even more strange, when I log in to the interface to manage subscribers, I cannot find you!

I'm sorry for the frustration this is causing and I hate to ask more of. you, but I want to get to the bottom of this. The link in the emails Diff sends should take you the following address. When you go there, and assuming you can authenticate, what do you see? Is Diff listed as a subscription? This is what I see (Imgur link).

I'm talking to the folks who help host Diff. Small update. Still working on a cause of the error, but wanted to pass a long a note from my limited testing. It appears that clicking the link does unsubscribe you, but gives an error message (as I mentioned before). I can see when I visit my subscription page, I am unsubscribed. So the link is half working, it does unsubscribe folks, but doesn't put you on the correct page to confirm that it did (https://wordpress.com/read/subscriptions). Less than optimal. I'll keep working on this. Chris Koerner (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 20:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Good news, bad news. It appears to be an issue that is not only affecting us and Diff! However, as of this post a solution is yet to be found. I'll keep working on this. Chris Koerner (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 16:31, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

There was a fix that was put in place that should resolve this issue. Please reach out if you're still stuck forever subscribed to Diff! Chris Koerner (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 19:24, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Concern about an article

I saw this article from February and it links to the website of Shared Knowledge Asia (not sure if this is related to Shared Knowledge), and that website contains a lot of nasty stuff on it. I have uBlock Origin installed in my browser and interacting with the website throws a lot of badware warnings and pop-unders. Hopefully this is just a negligence on the part of the website owner and not malice, but I don't think any WMF-controlled website should be linking to such a website and exposing its visitors to potential harm. —seav (talk) 19:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey seav, thanks for reaching out. I've modified the link to point to an Archive.org version of the site as it existed. It looks like maybe the domain expired and was redirected to the spammy stuff you mention.

Typos on one of my translations

Hi, I translated recently this blog post, which was published, and when re-reading it I saw some typos. Is it possible to fix them since I cannot edit myself? (I’m sorry, I fixed some before publishing but it remained some)

• Gymansium → Gymnasium
• Gymanisium → Gymnasium
• gallerie → galerie
• fenêtes → fenêtres
• Francesco Boffo and Giorgio Torricelli → Francesco Boffo et Giorgio Torricell

Thanks a lot! I will be more careful next time. ~ Seb35 [^_^] 13:08, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
