==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Littlstar]]==
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello Peter SamFan. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A1. No context|CSD A1]]) and content ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A3|CSD A3]]) moments after they are created{{#if:Littlstar|, as you did at [[:Littlstar]]}}. It is also suggested that pages that might meet [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|CSD A7]] criteria not be tagged for deletion immediately after they are created. It's usually best to wait ''at least'' 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should ''not'' be marked as [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/patrolled pages|patrolled]]. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|drive away well-meaning contributors]], which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G10|G10]]), blatant nonsense ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G1|G1]]), copyright violations ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G12|G12]]) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G3|G3]]) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.{{Z149}}<!-- Template:uw-hasty -->.

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/2019/34|Translations]] are available.

'''Tech News'''
* There will be no Tech News issue next week. The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 2 September 2019.

'''Problems'''
* [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Some abuse filters stopped working because of a code change. Only variables for the current action will work. Variables defined inside a branch may not work outside of that branch. You can [[phab:T230256|read more]] to see how to fix the filters.
* Only six accounts can be created from one [[:w:en:IP address|IP address]] per day. Between 12 August and August 15 this was two accounts per day. This was because of a security issue. It is now six accounts per day again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230521]

'''Changes later this week'''
* Only a limited number of accounts can be created from one [[:w:en:IP address|IP address]]. An IP address can be [[:w:en:Whitelisting |whitelisted]] so that it can create as many accounts as needed. This is useful at events where many new persons learn to edit. IP addresses that are whitelisted for this reason will also not show [[w:en:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHAs]] when you create accounts. This will happen on Wednesday. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T227487]
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/wmf.19|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 August. It will be on all wikis from 22 August ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.34/Roadmap|calendar]]).

'''Meetings'''
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|Recurrent item]] [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190821T15 21 August at 15:00 (UTC)]. See [[mw:Technical Advice IRC Meeting|how to join]].


== Edit count button not working ==
'''Future changes'''
* There is an [[:w:en: Request for Comments|RFC]] about creating a new global user group with the right to edit [[:mw:Extension:AbuseFilter|abuse filters]]. This will be used to fix broken filters and make sure all filters will still work when software changes happen. You can [[:m:Requests for comment/Creating abusefilter-manager global group|read more and comment]].
* <code>Special:Contributions/newbies</code> will no longer be working. This is because of performance reasons. It showed edits by new accounts. You can see this in the recent changes feed instead. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220447]


Just out of random, I found your Edit Count button is not working. Maybe you could change it? [[User:Myrealnamm|<span class="tmp-color" style="color:orange">Myrealnamm</span> ]][[User talk:Myrealnamm|(talk]] to me) 21:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
