Linebroken cite lint errors
[edit]Not a fan of this bot creating lint errors in the notices to users who've made a citation issue involving line breaks in citations (typically in the url). While their edit being reported doesn't create a lint error, this bot's notice does due to being linebroken AND bulleted (why this counts as a "Misnested tag with different rendering in HTML5 and HTML4" I don't know). Could this be avoided in some reasonable way? Thanks. Zinnober9 (talk) 13:18, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
- Oh, not always in the url it seems, but request the same nonetheless. Zinnober9 (talk) 13:22, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Zinnober9, I think an edit to User:Qwerfjkl (bot)/inform/middle could fix it, but I'm not exactly sure how this should be formatted. Any ideas? — Qwerfjkltalk 16:10, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
- I don't have a specific recommendation. I've wondered if it would be possible and still useful to the editor receiving if the bot message could automatically filter/remove the linebreak and still share the link's text in question without the linebroken error, or if that isn't helpful to that user and needs to be displayed in a way that still keeps the linebreak, but isn't reporting this issue. @Jonesey95 do you have any wisdom on this? Zinnober9 (talk) 19:23, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- Cite templates can't have a line feed character in most of their parameters. Is there a way for the bot to replace any line feed characters in the quoted citations with space characters, as in this fix? As a bonus, the example citations will render better for the User talk recipient. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:33, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- Jonesey95, that would hide the error ("line feed character in |publisher= at position 24" in that case). Admittedly my bot doesn't track Category:CS1 errors: invisible characters, so maybe that wouldn't be so undesirable.
But I think something likewould work, if that's the kind of thing we want to do. (I'd rather fix the error by modifying the template than modifying the bot's code.) — Qwerfjkltalk 09:11, 21 July 2026 (UTC){{subst:Replace|{{{refs}}}| | }}
- I also think {{Replace}} is the way to go. The basic Linter problem is that the template begins on a line starting with * and ends on an unindented line. The resulting display is not helpful to the editor who made the error, and as you said, you are not tracking line feed errors, which are rare. If you wanted to preserve the rendering for some reason, you could replace \n or \r with
<br>, but again, I don't think that is as helpful to the editor as rendering the template properly and displaying the ISBN error or whatever the bot is actually notifying about. – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:25, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

Zinnober9 (talk) 19:23, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
Let's not overthink this problem. I have fixed many of these lint errors by bracketing the entire cite template with <code><nowiki>...</nowiki></code>. This should be done always, regardless of lint errors. See, for example, my edit of User talk:~2026-38517-19, or my edit of of User talk:~2026-41333-70. —Anomalocaris (talk) 06:20, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
- Anomalocaris, I have edited the template to do so. — Qwerfjkltalk 08:04, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
Qwerfjkl (bot) – ~2026-40417-10
[edit]Page: Stefan Zweig
Diff: Special:Diff/1364981907
Comment/question: It looks fine to me. In fact, I did produce some kind of title for the template so I'm not sure your bot is working right.
~2026-40417-10 (talk) 18:25, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
- ~2026-40417-10, you used the wrong field; website instead of title. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:35, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
Qwerfjkl (bot) – ChipHSV1983
[edit]Page: Ferran Torres
Diff: Special:Diff/1365037246
Comment/question: The bot just gave me a false positive for my edit, nothing else.
ChipHSV1983 (talk) 23:21, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
- ChipHSV1983, your reference has invalid
|last=and|first=fields. These fields are for the name of the human author, not the news site. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:36, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Qwerfjkl (bot) – Keylanweylan
[edit]Page: Attacks on the United States (2000–present)
Diff: Special:Diff/1365179960
Comment/question: There is a false positive on the bot report to my edit. The generic name was replaced by the full source of the publisher. Keylanweylan (talk) 20:22, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- Keylanweylan, the second author is given as "correspondent, Africa", which is clearly incorrect. — Qwerfjkltalk 09:20, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
Tech News: 2026-30
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- The Reader Experience team has incorporated community feedback around the placement of watchstar and watchlist buttons for the Reading Lists beta feature, which would allow for saving articles for later reading – a wishlist item to bring the functionality to web. Editors are invited to enable the beta feature to test it out and share their thoughts.
- Suggestion Mode offers edit suggestions within the VisualEditor for improving Wikipedia articles. All suggestions are community-configurable. The TextMatch feature is a way for volunteers to create custom local suggestions. The feature searches in articles for strings of text, and now includes support for regular expressions. This gives volunteers greater precision and flexibility over the kinds of local suggestions they can create. Note: Suggestions can be targeted based on the edit count of the person editing as well as other aspects of the page. You can find examples from other communities for inspiration, including TextMatches that detect: typos, grammar-errors, potential advertisements, clichés, incorrect dash or hyphen usage, non-specific time keywords, outdated names, and more. Any feedback is appreciated.
View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the SVG Translate tool could use an outdated version of a file, causing existing translations to be overwritten when new ones were uploaded, has now been fixed. Overall, in the last quarter from April – June 2026 about 337 community tasks were resolved by the Wikimedia Foundation.
Updates for technical contributors
- On Parsoid-enabled wikis, Parsoid now renders a maximum of 1,250 images per page. A new tracking category, "media-limit-reached", will be soon made available to identify pages where this limit is reached, making it easier to find content whose media output may have been restricted during rendering. See phab:T430854 for more information and to provide feedback.
- Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

[edit]dear father we all love you so much we respect you i my main concern is that you want to help me with something --Yusura hasan (talk) 19:58, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
- Yusura hasan, help you with what? — Qwerfjkltalk 10:48, 22 July 2026 (UTC)
Qwerfjkl (bot) – Joy
[edit]Page: Operation Heiderose
Diff: Special:Diff/1365493006
Comment/question: It's telling me the title is missing, but in the same edit I literally tagged the citation for the missing title :D Maybe detect the title missing template in the diff and go easier on the phrasing?
--Joy (talk) 20:57, 22 July 2026 (UTC)
- Joy, looking at diffs to determine what was added or removed is a messy business; currently the bot doesn't look at diffs at all (it looks at the category changes instead). The notice does say
may have introduced referencing errors
, I'm not sure how I could soften it more. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:52, 23 July 2026 (UTC)- Okay, but that's a bit confusing, because it also cites
Below are the references causing this error...
. If it's parsing the article text to find this, maybe it could look at a few more characters of context behind it, to check for possible cleanup tags. --Joy (talk) 12:29, 23 July 2026 (UTC)- Joy, that's done by looking at the html, rendered by parsoid, for the error category, and then converting the html back into wikitext (which Parsoid supports). It's not a reliable way to look at wikitext. — Qwerfjkltalk 14:57, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- Okay, but that's a bit confusing, because it also cites
Qwerfjkl (bot) – MyMilkshakesAreBetterThanYours
[edit]Page: HM Prison Send
Diff: Special:Diff/1365589941
Comment/question: The bot has made an error flagging my edit. The flag supposedly claims the source I cited does not show the real name of the author, however that is clearly not true.
MyMilkshakesAreBetterThanYours (talk) 09:32, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- MyMilkshakesAreBetterThanYours, you gave "correspondent, crime" as the second author, which is clearly not an actual name. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:53, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
Question from Dustspeckdust on Tomahawk (band) (12:23, 23 July 2026)
[edit]Hi. I would like to clarify the date of this picture, I was there and still have my ticket stub. November 19th, 2001, not 2002. That's actually me & my friends standing in front! --Dustspeckdust (talk) 12:23, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- Dustspeckdust, I'm sorry, but we can't just take your word for it. — Qwerfjkltalk 09:52, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
massXfD bug?
[edit]Skimming the code, it looks like when adding RfDs to an old nomination it's supposed to add the rfd2 template to the previous nomination. Instead, while it tags the newly added RfDs correctly, it doesn't edit the old nomination at all. Rusalkii (talk) 20:56, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- Rusalkii, it's not supposed to change the old nomination at all when tagging the pages in it. It would be difficult to detect whether the redirects were already in the nomination, or if they weren't, where to add the newly-tagged redirects. — Qwerfjkltalk 09:53, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- Oops, should've read more carefully. I saw the rfd2 multi=yes template and thought it was being appended somewhere. Rusalkii (talk) 18:12, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Skatebased (09:03, 27 July 2026)
[edit]Hello - it looks like you are appointed as my mentor :) I tried to make a few edits to a page 'states news service' and they got rejected even though I was citing factual and accurate info - could you take a look at that for me please and tell me what I did wrong? It's basically a page saying this company went out of business but everything online says it's still in business and I can't seem to figure out why they think it's out of business except for some LinkedIn date entry that i can't even find online. I suspect the page was written maliciously either by a competitor or ex-employer - who is trying to hurt the business by saying it is defunct. Thank you :)))) --Skatebased (talk) 09:03, 27 July 2026 (UTC)
- Skatebased, before I help you, can you answer the question posed to you on the talk page: are you User:StatesNewsService? — Qwerfjkltalk 11:48, 27 July 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, that was me - sorry for not saying so up front. I've answered in full on the article talk page and put the paid/COI disclosure on my user page. Skatebased (talk) 18:52, 27 July 2026 (UTC)
- Skatebased, okay, just wait for someone to answer the edit request. Also I note you've used primary sources - see WP:PRIMARY, but primary sources can't be interpreted as you use them - only for simple statements of fact. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:41, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-31
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
Content Translation now supports dark mode, fulfilling a Community Wishlist request. This brings the tool in line with the accessibility features available in the Vector 2022 and Minerva skins, helping reduce visual fatigue for users translating content. [1]- DiscussionTools' source mode and the 2017 wikitext editor will now offer autocomplete for links (
[[), templates ({{), HTML and parser tags (<), and magic words (__), making it quicker and easier to insert links, templates, and other wiki markup while editing. [2] - The Readers Growth team has concluded its experiment with mobile page previews and will not roll out the feature. Page Previews are a pop-up bottom sheet that appears when readers tap a blue link, showing a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and an option to open the article. The experiment showed flat retention and negative indicator metrics, suggesting that mobile web readers preferred navigating directly to linked articles rather than using page previews.
- The Reader Experience team has seen encouraging early results from the Reading Lists feature, with 93% of participating users reporting that it was useful. Reading Lists help active readers save articles for future reading and support their learning goals on Wikimedia projects. The team plans further improvements before expanding the feature to more users.
- The Explore Feed Refresh initiative was tested with new and casual Wikipedia app readers. The refreshed feed helps readers discover new and relevant content. After a 10.5% increase in engagement with the feed, Wikimedia Apps team has decided to scale the Home Feed redesign to iOS with the learnings from the Android release applied.
- View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where subject names in the Article Guidance feature were displayed with incorrect capitalization on French Wikipedia, has now been fixed. Subject names will now follow the correct capitalization rules for the language. [3]
Updates for technical contributors
- After running several Account Creation Experiments to improve registration completion rates, a new version of the username field on Create Account has been rolled out. It includes a popover summarizing the username policy to provide clearer guidance during account creation. As part of this change, the messages
createacct-helpusernameandcreateacct-username-helpthat several communities have configured will no longer be used. If communities want to customize the guidance shown in the new popover, they can instead edit the following messages:createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet1,createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet2, andcreateacct-username-policy-popover-bullet3. [4] - Later this week, the CodeMirror syntax highlighter will offer themes. The themes can be picked from a dropdown menu in the full CodeMirror preferences dialog. For wikitext, available themes are default, colorblind-friendly (previously the colorblind preference option on Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing) and no-highlighting. For code languages (i.e., CSS/JavaScript/JSON/Vue/Lua), there are several themes available. These same themes will eventually be available for wikitext, too. [5]
- From now on, wikis can restrict editing in the "User" namespace to only the page owner and certain user groups. Read the configuration documentation to learn more.

- Bobbob1128, sorry, I don't know what "track championships page" you're referring to. If all of the times can be verified with one or two sources, you can typically give the source in the header, but I'm not sure exactly what kind of table you're talking about. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:46, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
