Reflections from Around the Puzzle Globe
[edit]Bernadette (Wikimedia Foundation CEO) has shared her reflections from around the puzzle globe (split into 3 pages), based on the discussions she's now had with over a thousand people. For those joining Wikimania she'll also be hosting a session around these observations. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 09:26, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
Upcoming DCW Conversation Hour on Wikipedia Admin & Patrol Tools
[edit] | Hello! You are invited to the 43rd DCW Conversation Hour on 26 July 2026 at 3:30 PM UTC, featuring Sohom Datta. In this session, we will be breaking down the advanced tools, automation scripts, and moderation systems that administrators and editors use to maintain quality and security on projects like Wikipedia. Please see the session page for the registration link and more information. Musical starlight (talk) 19:30, 23 July 2026 (UTC) |
@Musical starlight: That sounds like an excellent discussion. I hope to watch the recording later. By the way, on Template:Main Page/WM News, I reversed the order of two announcements so that the start times are chronological from top to bottom. I would prefer for us not to have DCW Conversation Hour times overlap with Wikimedia Café times, but given Wikimania this month there are scheduling pressures that we don't have in other months. I'm happy to have discussions about schedules in August forwards, so that we try to avoid overlap in the future. Regards, ↠Pine (✉) 20:01, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
@Pine: Thank you for your interest! The recording will be uploaded, and updates about it will be sent via the mailing list. I also really appreciate you taking the time to reorder the announcements on the Main Page, thank you for catching and fixing that! Regarding August, we haven't received the date and time confirmation from our speaker just yet. Once we do, I'd be very happy to connect with you to discuss the schedule so we can ensure we avoid any overlaps in the future. Musical starlight (talk) 14:16, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Musical starlight: thanks! By the way, this diff didn't ping me. To create the ping, I believe that the ping template needs to be used in the same diff that includes a signature. In this case, re-signing the post in addition to using the ping template, would create the ping. ↠Pine (✉) 02:38, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Editing speed
[edit]I've noticed a lag in handling of objects (text, refs, images, etc.) over the past couple of days (de). I tested Chrome and other browsers, and the issue was the same. 17387349L8764 (talk) 11:26, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
