Next steps for the wish “confirmation prompt for the rollback link”[edit]
Hello, a while ago you participated in a feedback round about a proposal how accidental clicks on the rollback link could be avoided. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and ideas!
Looking at the feedback and the rollback situation in different wikis, the development team decided how to approach this wish: As a default, most wikis won’t have a confirmation. But users who wish to have one, can enable it in their preferences, which will add a confirmation prompt to the rollback link on the diff page and on the list pages. The prompt won’t be a pop-up, but an inline prompt like for the thanks confirmation. You can read more about the planned solution and what influenced this decision on the project page. -- Best, Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (talk) 09:51, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
Invitation for Functionary consultation 2021[edit]
Greetings SWMT member,
I'm letting you know in advance about a meeting I'd like to invite you to regarding the Universal Code of Conduct and the community's ownership of its future enforcement. I'm still in the process of putting together the details, but I wanted to share the date with you: 10 July, 2021. I do not have a time on this date yet, but I will let you soon. We have created a meta page with basic information. Please take a look at the meta page and sign up your name under the appropriate section.
Thank you for your time.--BAnand (WMF) 03:21, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
Tips[edit]
Hi, just two tips (pinging also Airtransat236): First of all, don't do edit war with LTA, just report them if they continue to vandalize, you can use IRC/Discord for fast reporting (and it's better if you have to report a LTA with a grossly offensive username - that cannot be reported publicly). Then, when you revert an edit made by a user with a grossly offensive username, please change the edit reason (because, if you revert via TwinkleGlobal without changing the reason, you'll see the abusive username in your edit reason)! Thanks :) P.S. I granted you the AP flag! Enjoy the patrolling and, if you both have question, just contact me/us :D Superpes15 (talk) 01:27, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- Got it and thanks for the AP flag! @Superpes15: I am in the Discord server and reported it but no one seemed to be responding. That vandal I was working to revert had committed cross-wiki vandalism starting on the en and simple wikis and made their way to the meta wiki and started messing with the module namespace as well as very often used templates. I didn't want the templates to get messed up even more so. Bobherry (talk) 01:50, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- Uff, I'm sorry, I didn't see any pings there! Just write @steward or, if you don't want to ping everyone, just ping me next time, when you need to make a private report :) If I'm online, I'll reply you! Superpes15 (talk) 01:53, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
