Your draft article, Draft:Justin Tafa

Hello, Cassiopeia. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Justin Tafa".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 16:19, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

Question from Luka Maglc (18:27, 15 February 2025)

Hello miss Clovermoss, can I get a 3rd opinion on the subject. --Luka Maglc (talk) 18:27, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Luka Maglc Hi Luka Maglc, Good day. I am not Covermoss. I think you were trying to contact User:Clovermoss? If so, pls go to her talk page - User talk:Clovermoss. Be safe. Cassiopeia talk 21:57, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
Due to my wikibreak, I put my status as "away". I think you're getting this message because this prompts questions from my mentees to be reassigned. @MMiller (WMF): what does that look like from the mentee's perspective? I'm wondering if it doesn't explain that I'm not really currently available. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 22:00, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
@Clovermoss, MMiller (WMF), and MMiller (WMF):, Good day.
Hi Clovermoss, Thank you for reaching out. I noticed your "Goodbye" message on your talk page, and I understand your perspective. You are young and have made significant contributions to Wikipedia. Please return when you are ready after you :::have taken a short break. Stay safe, Clover, and take good care of yourself.
Greeting, MMiller, I am happy to take on the mentees from Clovermoss' list, and give assistance to the editors.
Hello Luka Maglc, pls provide the URL and the topic of the subject you were refering to for me to comment.
Cassiopeia talk 22:28, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
Hello the issues has been resolved, so thank you. Luka Maglc (talk) 01:02, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
Hello @Cassiopeia -- thank you for helping with Clovermoss's mentees! Yes, when a mentor sets their mentorship status to "away", their mentees get temporarily assigned to other mentors. @KStoller-WMF could you please remind us what the mentee sees in this case? Do they get notification, or is that only for a permanent reassignment to a new mentor? You can read more about how it all works here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/FAQ#away MMiller (WMF) (talk) 20:59, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
Hi! Mentors often mark themselves as "away" for periods of time, so we don’t send notifications to mentees when that happens. However we add context within the "Ask you mentor" modal. The current text reads:
Your primary mentor, (username1), is currently away. Another mentor, (username2), will answer your questions for the time being.
You can see screenshots of how the "Away" functionality appears to newcomers here: T311064#8042842.
As with many things on the wikis, there’s a lot of text, so some new contributors may post a question without fully noticing that message. Let us know if you have suggestions for improvement—we’re always looking for ways to make mentorship more intuitive for both newcomers and mentors!
Unrelated to this scenario, but just for the record, MMiller (WMF) is correct, we do send a notification if a newcomer's mentor permanently steps down and the mentee is reassigned to a new mentor. KStoller-WMF (talk) 00:14, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Weekly Tasks

Tech News: 2025-08

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

  • Communities using growth tools can now showcase one event on the Special:Homepage for newcomers. This feature will help newcomers to be informed about editing activities they can participate in. Administrators can create a new event to showcase at Special:CommunityConfiguration. To learn more about this feature, please read the Diff post, have a look at the documentation, or contact the Growth team.

Updates for editors

Highlighted talk pages improvements
  • Starting next week, talk pages at these wikis – Spanish Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia, Japanese Wikipedia – will get a new design. This change was extensively tested as a Beta feature and is the last step of talk pages improvements. [1]
  • You can now navigate to view a redirect page directly from its action pages, such as the history page. Previously, you were forced to first go to the redirect target. This change should help editors who work with redirects a lot. Thanks to user stjn for this improvement. [2]
  • When a Cite reference is reused many times, wikis currently show either numbers like "1.23" or localized alphabetic markers like "a b c" in the reference list. Previously, if there were so many reuses that the alphabetic markers were all used, an error message was displayed. As part of the work to modernize Cite customization, these errors will no longer be shown and instead the backlinks will fall back to showing numeric markers like "1.23" once the alphabetic markers are all used.
  • The log entries for each change to an editor's user-groups are now clearer by specifying exactly what has changed, instead of the plain before and after listings. Translators can help to update the localized versions. Thanks to user Msz2001 for these improvements.
  • A new filter has been added to the Special:Nuke tool, which allows administrators to mass delete pages, to enable users to filter for pages in a range of page sizes (in bytes). This allows, for example, deleting pages only of a certain size or below. [3]
  • Non-administrators can now check which pages are able to be deleted using the Special:Nuke tool. Thanks to user MolecularPilot for this and the previous improvements. [4]
  • Recurrent item View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug was fixed in the configuration for the AV1 video file format, which enables these files to play again. [5]

Updates for technical contributors

  • Parsoid Read Views is going to be rolling out to most Wiktionaries over the next few weeks, following the successful transition of Wikivoyage to Parsoid Read Views last year. For more information, see the Parsoid/Parser Unification project page. [6][7]
  • Developers of tools that run on-wiki should note that mw.Uri is deprecated. Tools requiring mw.Uri must explicitly declare mediawiki.Uri as a ResourceLoader dependency, and should migrate to the browser native URL API soon. [8]

Question from Oyibade on User:Oyibade (12:39, 20 February 2025)

What is the use of a page --Oyibade (talk) 12:39, 20 February 2025 (UTC)


Oyibade Good day. I am uncertain about the specific inquiry you are making; however, a page on Wikipedia may refer to an article, a page detailing certain guidelines, a category, a template, among other possibilities. Users have the option to read the information presented or to create a page/ article if the subject adheres to the criteria outlined in the Wikipedia WP:GNG.
If you could provide further details regarding your question, should the information above not meet your needs, I would appreciate it. Regards. Cassiopeia talk 21:14, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
Thank you so much! 2602:30A:2CC1:EB70:60D5:486F:B7D2:B8F7 (talk) 23:46, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Question from Redstonedeciever (15:32, 20 February 2025)

I'd Like to Create a Wikipedia Description page about someone from South Africa, who has Achieved Quite a lot. --Redstonedeciever (talk) 15:32, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Redstonedeciever Good day. In order for a subject to warrant a page in the main space of Wikipedia, it must fulfill the criteria outlined in the Wikipedia guideline on notability, specifically the General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG).
GNG is defined as the subject must fulfill specific criteria to demonstrate significant coverage from independent and reliable sources. These sources should provide in-depth discussions about the subject rather than merely offering passing mentions. This requirement is essential for verification, which is a core policy of Wikipedia. If a source is affiliated/associated/connected with the subject—such as the subject's marketing team, company, social media platforms, information in interviews of the subject or any self-published information—this indicates a lack of independence. Consequently, such sources cannot be utilized to satisfy the notability guidelines.Sources originating from educational institutions, government entities, foundations, social media platforms, and private companies are regarded as unreliable. In contrast, materials published by "major" newspapers and "reputable" books are typically considered reliable sources.
I recommend that you read WP:Your first article and adhere to the provided instructions before beginning the creation of an article. Be safe. Cassiopeia talk 21:29, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Question from Letsgetloudmusic (22:09, 21 February 2025)

Hello! I just would like to add a link to my name in a couple of Wiki pages I'm mentioned in. --Letsgetloudmusic (talk) 22:09, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Letsgetloudmusic Good day. Please provide your name that is referenced in Wikipedia articles. Cassiopeia talk 22:46, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
Steve Shive 2601:40:C881:B860:D467:7C9E:652:241A (talk) 01:09, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
Letsgetloudmusic, Did you mean "Steve Shive" (drummer) in Kingfish (band) article? Cassiopeia talk 01:46, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
yes 2x I am mentioned in the article itself and in the list of members I am listed there as well. Thank you. 2601:40:C881:B860:6CE:BF5E:6715:8FD0 (talk) 05:19, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
Letsgetloudmusic "Steve Shive" can only be linked if the individual has a standalone article on Wikipedia. In other words, since there is currently no article for "Steve Shive" on Wikipedia, it is not possible to create a link to the page for Kingfish (band). Regards. Cassiopeia talk 06:17, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

NPP training request

Hi there, it's an honor to be acquainted with such an experienced editor. I'm concerned about the NPP backlog, so I would like to request training for NPP from you, with the intention to actively contribute to NPP and other anti-vandalism efforts in the future. Feel free to check out my user page. Once again, it would be an honor and my absolute pleasure to be under your tutelage. Cheers and have a good day! HKLionel (talk) 07:39, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

HKLionel Good day. I appreciate your interest in participating in the NPPS program. Given your interest in anti-counter vandalism, I would like to draw your attention to the WP:CVUA program. The CVUA program is generally regarded as less challenging than the NPPS program. Therefore, it may be beneficial for you to participate in the CVUA program prior to pursuing the NPPS, should that this aligns with your preferences.
I also serve as one of the trainers for the CVUA; however, you are free to choose any trainer from the provided list. Both the NPPS and CVUA programs require a considerable investment of time to thoroughly review the guidelines and complete the assignments. Typically, participants complete the program within three months; however, there is no strict deadline for completion, as each editor progresses through the assignments at their own pace.
Should you wish to participate in the CVUA or NPPS program after reviewing the information provided above, please inform me so that I may set up the program for you. Best regards. Cassiopeia talk 09:11, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
Yes, I'm aware of CVUA. I think I just kind of want to specifically focus on NPP, and I am confident in my ability to handle the requirements of the program over the training period. Therefore, I would like to reiterate my interest in participating in the NPPS program. Thanks! HKLionel (talk) 09:19, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
HKLionel I have set up NPPS program for your participation. Kindly review the information provided in the "communication section" at the bottom of the assignment prior to addressing the questions presented in the assignment. Welcome to NPPS. Best regards. Cassiopeia talk 09:41, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

NPP school

Hi. I recently requested NPP, which was declined by Rosguill with their rationale relating to my AFD stats: while the match rate is high, some of the arguments are shaky, and there's also signs of a lack of thoroughness in WP:BEFORE. Rosguill recommended NPP school so here I am. Thank you. 🐔 Chicdat  Bawk to me! 12:35, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Question from Steven Seward (22:36, 17 February 2025)

Hello Cassiopeia,

I am uploading an image for the first time onto Wikipedia. It is an image of a portrait painting I did in 2001. The same portrait painting was previously uploaded by another person, but in poor quality.

In step #4 at Wikipedia's help page "Upload Your Own Work," it gives instructions on what to do if your work was published under a different credit name. But those instructions are a bit unclear. Can you clarify for me? --Steven Seward (talk) 22:36, 17 February 2025 (UTC)


Steven Seward Good day. Pls provide the URL of the "Upload your Own Work" so would what is in the step #4. Secondly, Pls also provide the file name of the image which was previously uploaded and the URL in WikiCommon so I know which image you are talking about. By the way, who is the other person that uploaded the portrait paining you did in 2001. Kindly provide me the 3 info needed so I can help you. Cassiopeia talk 02:45, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
I already went ahead and uploaded the image, after determining that step #4 did not apply to me because the credit for the artwork on the original image was already given to me. I then placed my new image into this Wikipedia page - William Kernahan Thomas. However, I am now having trouble editing the simple information about the painting. When I uploaded it, I automatically used the "information" template (I think that is what it is called) instead of using the much more informative "Artwork" template that I see on all paintings in Wikipedia. I went back to try and change it to the Artwork template, but I kept getting odd results, as you can see for yourself if you open up the page. I had to leave it as is for the moment until I can find some help. Can you guide me on how to correct the Artwork Template I tried to attach? Steven Seward (talk) 03:32, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
Steven Seward, I have removed the "artwork template" information from Wikimedia Commons, as the editors on WikiCommons will provide the necessary details in the future, as they are aware of the required information. Furthermore, I have updated the article to include the new image. Regards. Cassiopeia talk 21:54, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
Thank you so much! Steven Seward (talk) 23:47, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
Hello again, Cassiopeia,
I am having trouble learning how to attach an "artwork" template to a painting in order to give all the relevant information about the painting.
My ultimate goal is to create a Wikipedia page on my father, James E. Seward, a noted 20th century illustrator and portrait painter, which would entail uploading a few pictures of his paintings. In order to get my feet wet, I uploaded a painting of mine into a website that already had a poor rendition of my painting. I would like to do a few more for practice, as there are other Wikipedia pages about people I have painted portraits of in the past. But I cannot figure out how to get the "artwork" template to work. Can you direct me to a tutorial where I can learn this? Most of the info I find on uploading pictures are about regular photographs, not artwork. Steven Seward (talk) 03:58, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

AfD Warning

I highly doubt you are doing a proper WP:BEFORE, you've just sent sent 15 football related biographies. I've looked at one, an Iraqi with 35 international caps. I don't think you will be able to do a proper search due to the language barrier. I've seen people topic banned for multiple nominations like this. So you really need to be careful here. You really need to watch your process. Govvy (talk) 12:03, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Govvy Good day, and thank you for your message. I understand that you are a football enthusiast. Several years ago, individuals participating in team sports who represent their countries or in a professional football leagues were able to comply with the NPORT guidelines; however, approximately 2-3 years ago, almost all team sports athletes ceased to meet the requirements following the vote to amend the NSPORT regulations. I was disheartened by the outcome of the voting decisions, as many Olympians and team sports athletes represent their countries have no longer meet the NSPORT criteria. For all the recent AfD nominations I submitted, - see here -1, -2, -3, -4-5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -11, -12 and -13. All votes are subject to redirection or deletion by editors, which indicates that they believe the subject does not meet the guidelines for General Notability (GNG) or Notability for Sports (NSPORT), except you voted on one of the AfDs to keep the article and yet you didn't provide any IRS sources to support your vote/discussion.
On a non-related note, I am pleased to know of your affection for animals, which I share. I also envy your ability to keep a Lynx, as such ownership is prohibited in my country. Wishing you well and sending my best regards. Cassiopeia talk 22:13, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
I am talking about mass of nomination and not doing WP:BEFORE, please review this ANI post. This was warning you about what happens with mass nominating articles and make sure to do correct WP:BEFORE. Regards, P.S I hardly think an Atari Lynx is an animal! Govvy (talk) 09:21, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Jon Jones

There is a big fan of him adding a lot of unnecessary details like podcast appearances on his page. You might want to check what is relevant. Thanks Marty2Hotty (talk) 10:08, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Undiscussed page moves and reverting move

Hey Cassiopeia, you recently moved Jun Yong Park to Park Jun Yong twice, with no explanation (your first move, another editor's reversion, your re-revert in two steps) The editor who reverted you, understandably frustrated, opened this RM.

Your behavior here was not ideal. Your first move should have had an edit summary explaining why you performed it. It looks like none of your recent pagemoves have an edit summary (besides, occasionally, a script's default summary). You should not have reverted the other editor's reversion of your first move, as by then it was obviously potentially controversial. You should have been the one to open the RM. In my opinion, what you did was move warring and a failure to meet the conduct expectations of page movers. Maybe you had a good reason for your actions, but there's no way to know when you don't explain them.

I also strongly encourage you to perform round-robin page moves, which your revert of the revert was, via a subpage of Draft:Move, instead of an arbitrary related title like Jun Yong Park (fighter) as you did this time, for the reason given at WP:ROBIN.

I really hope you had a good reason for all this. If not, you owe Marty2Hotty an apology. And please, please use edit summaries. Toadspike [Talk] 12:00, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Toadspike, I have written to Marty, Park is the last name for the subject as the subject is Korean and as just like Chinese, the surname (last name) list first then follow by given name - Korea last name is placed first before the middle name (examples South Korea president - Park Chung Hee and Park Geun-hye, South Korea K-pop stars - Park Ji-hoon, Park Jin-young and Park Hyung-sik and just like the Chinese named (examples - Chiang Kai-shek Director-General of the Kuomintang, Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping president of China). Cassiopeia talk 21:43, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I don't think you have understood the main issue, though. You've given a reasonable argument for performing one bold pagemove. What you have not explained is why you wheel-warred with a non-pagemover, instead of opening a move discussion, after your move was reverted. Toadspike [Talk] 19:18, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
Toadspike, I did discussed with the editor involved as mentioned. Regards. Cassiopeia talk 20:10, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
Forgive my asking – where did you discuss with them? They seemed fairly annoyed that the page was moved back [15] and I don't see any posts from you on their user talk page about this (though you have discussed many other topics before). Toadspike [Talk] 20:22, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
Here - Park Jun Yong.

Question from Amitdabas123 on User talk:LukeEmily (20:52, 1 March 2025)

Hi, There's a page "Political marriages in India", it requires extended confirmed access to edit. I'm not yet eligible to edit that page. How can i raise a request to edit it? Thank you. --Amitdabas123 (talk) 20:52, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

{U|Amitdabas123}} Good day, and I apologize for the delayed response; I have been quite busy lately. To edit pages protected by the "extended confirmed" tag, an editor must meet specific criteria: their account must be at least 30 days old and have a minimum of 500 edits (both criteria are required). You registered in 2022, but you currently have only 22 mainspace edits on Wikipedia (see here). This falls significantly short of the 500 mainspace edits required. Once you meet the editing requirement, you will be able to edit the aforementioned page. Stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 22:37, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-10

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

  • All logged-in editors using the mobile view can now edit a full page. The "Edit full page" link is accessible from the "More" menu in the toolbar. This was previously only available to editors using the Advanced mobile contributions setting. [16]
  • Interface administrators can now help to remove the deprecated Cite CSS code matching "mw-ref" from their local MediaWiki:Common.css. The list of wikis in need of cleanup, and the code to remove, can be found with this global search and in this example, and you can learn more about how to help on the CSS migration project page. The Cite footnote markers ("[1]") are now rendered by Parsoid, and the deprecated CSS is no longer needed. The CSS for backlinks ("mw:referencedBy") should remain in place for now. This cleanup is expected to cause no visible changes for readers. Please help to remove this code before March 20, after which the development team will do it for you.
  • When editors embed a file (e.g. [[File:MediaWiki.png]]) on a page that is protected with cascading protection, the software will no longer restrict edits to the file description page, only to new file uploads.[17] In contrast, transcluding a file description page (e.g. {{:File:MediaWiki.png}}) will now restrict edits to the page.[18]
  • When editors revert a file to an earlier version it will now require the same permissions as ordinarily uploading a new version of the file. The software now checks for 'reupload' or 'reupload-own' rights,[19] and respects cascading protection.[20]
  • When administrators are listing pages for deletion with the Nuke tool, they can now also list associated talk pages and redirects for deletion, alongside pages created by the target, rather than needing to manually delete these pages afterwards. [21]
  • The previously noted update to Single User Login, which will accommodate browser restrictions on cross-domain cookies by moving login and account creation to a central domain, will now roll out to all users during March and April. The team plans to enable it for all new account creation on Group0 wikis this week. See the SUL3 project page for more details and an updated timeline.
  • Since last week there has been a bug that shows some interface icons as black squares until the page has fully loaded. It will be fixed this week. [22]
  • One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Sylheti (w:syl:) [23]
  • Recurrent item View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug was fixed with loading images in very old versions of the Firefox browser on mobile. [24]

Updates for technical contributors

  • Recurrent item Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

NPP school

Hi Cassiopeia, I started the NPP training course back in December, but was stricken with a chronic illness so could not finish it. Can I resume it now? Regards, Grumpylawnchair (talk) 18:35, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Grumpylawnchair Good day. Sorry to hear you were not well. The NPPS program has not date line, you can continue and finish the assignment at your own pace. Once you have finished the assignment, ping me on the program page at the "communication section" at the bottom of the assignment. Take care. Cassiopeia talk 06:53, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
Thank you, Grumpylawnchair (talk) 11:09, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
