Help test the MediaWiki software

The MediaWiki software that runs Wikipedia is under constant development. Do you want to see the latest, greatest features? Then head over to test.wikipedia.org, where the development branch is tested. But be careful. That wiki runs in debugging mode, so even the smallest problem in the code might cause it to spew out error messages. Take a look at the list of features under development in the MediaWiki roadmap. MediaWiki already is one of the most feature-rich wiki engines; see the MediaWiki feature list. MediaWiki and its dependencies are open source, so if you are the inquisitive type, please take a look at the code and help improve it.

    Overlinking[edit]

    It is helpful to provide Wikilinks to articles about subjects which may be unfamiliar to the reader, but it clutters an article when there are too many links to common words. You have overlinked in Sensationalism. Please do not add links to so many common and well-understood terms. Please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking before you add more links in articles. Also, please preview your changes and make sure that the new link actually goes to a relevant article, and not to a disambiguation page as some of your links do. Thanks. Edison (talk) 17:46, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

    I see that in adding links to St. Lawrence Seminary High School you also overlinked in some cases. though some of the links were quite appropriate and helpful. Do you really think the reader needs to be steered to United States, for instance? Edison (talk) 18:39, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

    Seems to be somewhat of a gray area...So any words that are 'common & well-understood' should be skipped? Thanks for the advice. Just started on wikipedia this spring & now that I'm retired, can do more from time to time.

    For St. Lawrence Seminary High School a good portion of the students are not from US, so I thought United States would be helpful, especially for any parents, relatives, friends that may be reading this page from foreign countries. Again, I can do additional un-linking as you suggest.

    Just got back from doing a few errands & see that Sensationalism page is corrected. I will now red line on my notepapers all the links removed. A great way for me to learn. Thanks. JoeHebda (talk) 15:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

    Howdy, I just wanted to introduce myself. I added a response to your comment on the talk page. Whether or not my website should be used as a source for Wiki is not a question I can answer - that is for this community to decide. But I would be happy to answer any questions about the website. --Dcheney (talk) 04:45, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

    Catholic Church in the United States[edit]

    Navigational templates must contain the article in which they are placed. The American church is just too low level an article in which to place The Catholicism template. And "by country" is way too indirect to be considered "inclusion." That template looks more like a portal anyway. Kind of high level. WP:EXISTING kind of makes that clearer. There has been much discussion about this in the past but this is the outcome. Student7 (talk) 18:40, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

    Thanks, I understand, so as I make my next pass through articles that I've updated, will remove cath.template. JoeHebda (talk) 14:08, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

    Diocese links?[edit]

    I noticed you're adding Diocese links to a number of pages. I'm afraid I don't see how they're appropriate per Wikipedia's external linking policy. If the only relationship of a link to a page is tangential or of a parent-child hierarchy -- in which case the link would not serve to provide a general resource for more information about the subject of the article -- it's typically not appropriate. The one I first noticed was Bishop Hendricken High School, which already links to the Wikipedia article Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, which is where the link would, of course be appropriate and where a reader would be looking for more information about that topic. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:43, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

    Thanks User:Rhododendrites for letting me know. That is a woops for me. Today I'll go back and correct those articles. Regards, JoeHebda (talk) 10:36, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
    Not a great big deal, of course (it's not like you're spamming some personal business of yours), and I didn't look closely at what articles you added it to so some may be perfectly appropriate. Anyway, thanks. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:11, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
    After a little more digging, wondering if these would be better Ext. links? People looking at these school articles could be teachers and parents as well as students.
    Sorry if above are not indented--don't know how to do that. JoeHebda (talk) 15:22, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
    Well, the question isn't what might be useful, because tons of things might be useful to a reader who might be searching for a given reason, coming from a certain background, etc. Because they're subject to abuse, link to places Wikipedia can't monitor and has no responsibility for, etc. external link use is purposefully limited to things like official websites and general resources for the subject (general as in providing a resource relating directly to the subject such that anyone reading could gain additional information about the subject by clicking).
    ...Wikilinks, however, are not so tightly controlled -- and in fact it's pretty rare that something is unwikilinked. That's how we link people to information on other subjects they may find useful. So we link to teacher, education, Catholic education]], Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, etc. If one of those organizations has a Wikipedia article and a school is a member, it would make sense to add, for example, "Such and such high school is part of the National Association of Catholic School Teachers". It would then be that article which would have the external link to the organization's website, which would then be appropriate as anyone looking at that article could learn more about the subject by clicking it.
    I don't know if I'm explaining that well, so I'd recommend taking a look through WP:EL. PS: to indent a bulletpoint, you can just add the colons before the asterisk. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:10, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

    Catholic Bishop link help[edit]

    Thanks for your edits on all the Catholic Bishop articles, Joe! I have tried to create one for every bishop I find who does not have one, but they all need fleshing out. Good work! Dhpage (talk) 00:49, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

    Glad to hear from another editor. Nice to know that we're not alone! At Historical list of the Catholic bishops of the United States is a huge list starting with number 1, John Carroll forward to present day. I have updated a few to improve where I can. Lately I am adding Navbox for a Diocese or Archdiocese article without one. After adding the Navbox template, I go back and add that Navbox to each article in that diocese, and do some updates to bishop/archbishop articles along the way. Some of those 'stub' articles really do need improvements... Regards, JoeHebda (talk) 13:29, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

    Move request[edit]

    The move instruction

    {{db-move|Template:ArchbishopsofNY|This Redirect no longer needed as 'redirect-to' page ( Template:Archbishops of New York ) has been replaced by a Navbox template ( Template:Ordinaries of the Archdiocese of New York ) }}

    which you inserted into page Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests at 14:38 on 27 February 2015‎, should have been inserted into page X, where you wanted to move Template:ArchbishopsofNY to X. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:30, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

    Sorry @Anthony Appleyard: that I goofed up. I thought the db-move had a delete option. What I really need to have done is
    Step 1, Delete this no longer needed Redirect Template:ArchbishopsofNY
    Step 2, Delete this replaced Navbox Template:Archbishops of New York
    Above Navbox was replaced with new Navbox Template:Ordinaries of the Archdiocese of New York
    I'm somewhat new (since March, 2014) to Wikipedia and still have more to learn. If you could help me out that would be great, or point me to the correct process for me to try. Thanks, JoeHebda (talk) 16:51, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

    Succession headers in prelate articles[edit]

    Hello JoeHebda, thanks for adding information to many prelate and church-related articles. Just a quick note though, the last section header of an article should be "External links" or a reference header (or any previous header, if no ELs are listed). Following succession information, navboxes, categories, stub warnings, etc. at the bottom of the article generally don't have a separate header (they should have a descriptive title inside of them). See MOS:LAYOUT for some information about the background for this structure. Not a big issue, but I just wanted to explain my reverts of those header additions. Regards. GermanJoe (talk) 10:06, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

    For example, see articles about royals Henry IV of France and popes Pius X for succession box usage without headers. Afaik the vast majority of articles with succession info follows this layout. GermanJoe (talk) 10:56, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
    Thanks @GermanJoe: for taking the time to let me know. Going forward, I will not add the Episcopal succession section title anymore. Since I am about one-half way through US Ecclesiastical provinces (currently working New York), I will cleanup previous additions on my next pass through. And BTW, I did stumble upon these 2 articles (on topic) that are helpful and thought to share these.
    Regards, JoeHebda (talk) 13:15, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
    Thanks for the links, interesting info. I don't know all layout guidelines myself (there are simply too many of them), but if you have questions about such "technical" aspects, please feel free to ping me anytime. GermanJoe (talk) 13:39, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Taylor County, Wisconsin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wisconsin Central Railroad (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

    Diocese of La Crosse[edit]

    Hello,

    "I see that on the image licensing it states, Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) Only used for the Diocese Wiki page. It needs Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license or similiar; so that it can be added to the Navbox Template: Roman Catholic Diocese of La Crosse and thereby appear on all of the Diocese-related article pages"

    OK, How do I do that? I have a few more to update.

    Thanks Roberto221 (talk) 20:18, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

    Sorry, I do not know how. So far, I have only uploaded 3 or 4 pictures to Commons that I took with my own camera. I do know there are a lot of hoops to jump through to get the proper license.
    A clue might also be found on the History page of another Diocese that already has a COA uploaded. The history will give the name of the uploading editor, who could then be contacted.
    Another possible source might be at Wikipedia:WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology where there is a Discussion page, and a list of Participants.
    From time to time, I have gotten good answers on other topics at Wikipedia:Teahouse.
    Good luck. JoeHebda (talk) 22:00, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

    Coat of Arms[edit]

    Over the weekend I added more coat of arms but I didn't use the naming conventions. The product I used doesn't let me save them in .svg so if you can convert them, that would be of great help. They are:

    • File:COA - La Crosse, WI.jpg
    • File:COA - Jefferson City, MO.jpg
    • File:COA - Santa Rose, CA.jpg
    • File:COA - Salt Lake City, UT.jpg
    • File:COA - Yakima, WA.jpg
    • File:COA - Sioux Falls, SD.jpg
    • File:COA - Reno, NV.jpg
    • File:COA - Oakland, CA.jpg
    • File:COA - Spokane, WA.jpg
    • File:COA - Lake Charles, LA.jpg
    • File:COA - Bridgeport, CT.jpg
    • File:Coat of Arms - Springfield-Cape Girardeau, MO.jpg
    • File:COA - Fajardo-Humacao, PR.jpg
    • File:COA - Arecibo, PR.jpg
    • File:COA - Wichita, KS.jpg
    • File:Diocese of Ogdensburg CoA.jpg
    • File:Diocese of Amarillo coat of arms.jpg

    The Santa Rose .jpg should read Santa Rosa, I attended St. Rose when I was a child, it stuck in my brain. Thanks.. Roberto221 (talk) 00:04, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

    Greetings Roberto221, I took the liberty of adding * for the file list above.
    I do not know if there is any way to convert from .jpg file to .svg (vector graphics) file. On one of the discussions at WP Heraldry, another editor mentioned using Inkscape software to draw the Coat-Of-Arms files that end with .svg.
    At [this Archive] there is an editor that has this knowledge and might be able to look at the above files. At this page, Search for Offer for vectorization section title.
    It might be easier to just to delete these above files, rename them locally on your pc, then re-upload with the .jpg file extension. As I mentioned earlier, I have seen a few COA that do end with .jpg so it would seem that either file type will work.
    Cheers JoeHebda (talk) 00:44, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

    What does it mean to be an "editor" of Wikipedia?[edit]

    Please explain to me what it means to be an editor, and how do they get together to make decisions? Are editors paid by Wikipedia? Are logged-in contributors called "editors" or what's the difference? With regard to the article I contributed on History of the Catholic Church in Belize, I can see why the editors may want the title to correspond more directly with their categories, but I don't see why they need to add the term "Roman" within an article since it had occurred only once in the article (in a reference to the Roman authorities). I explain on the talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Catholicism/Terminology why this is a sensitive issue in the Catholic church. By inserting the word "Roman" within the article the editors are injecting themselves into the discussion within the church and biasing the article in favor of those who don't want change (by slowing down the process toward renewal). Must Wikipedia carry on this way?jzsj 22:47, 15 May 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jzsj (talkcontribs)

    Greetings Jzsj, All of us who are helping to improve Wikipedia are contributors and considered to be editors - as far as I know there is no title of editor. More info at Wikipedia:Introduction at the How you can contribute section.
    Recently, I've been updating at Wikipedia:Tips and think these two tips might be responses for the Roman discussion.
    *Be neutral, like Wikipedia
    *Be neutral when editing Wikipedia
    Lastly, it is helpful when discussing on talk pages To sign a message, type ~~~~
    Hope this helps explain more about Wikipedia. Regards, JoeHebda (talk) 23:37, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
    Thanks for your forthright answer. You seem to leave the question open why the first line of the article must say "Roman" if there is no ambiguity about "Catholic" in Belize today, and we are not calling ourselves catholic (universal) with a small "c". As to the designation "unsigned" that keep appearing after my comments, I do use the 4 tildas and it still keeps appearing!jzsj 23:56, 15 May 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jzsj (talkcontribs)

    Talk:Catholic bishops in Nazi Germany - B-checklists[edit]

    Hello JoeHebda, I have set the class for this article to C for now, but merely for technical reasons: projects with B-class checklists should have all B-criteria set to "yes", before the class parameter can be updated to B - that's why the template didn't display the B-class correctly. If you feel the article is ready for B-class, please check all criteria and update all criteria parameters and the class accordingly (I am not knowledgeable about that specific topic or I would have done it myself). A summary what is needed for B-class in WP:Germany can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Germany/Assessment#Quality_scale (it's very similar to most other projects). If you have additional questions, just let me know. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 13:54, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

    Urgent request[edit]

    In 12 hours, the Signpost is published for this week and is short on articles. I am hoping to throw together and article on tip of the day. Since you participate in the project, I would appreciate if you could answer these questions about the project as soon as you could.

    1. What is the goal of the project?
    1. Some might say that the tip of the day isnt contributing to the encyclopedia. What would you say in response?
    1. What are some recent issues or updates with the project?
    1. How can editors get involved, please list the various ways.

    Thanks, if you see this after the deadline for the signpost, dont fret. Tortle (talk) 07:33, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

    Greetings Tortle, one of my fav slogans is: It something is worth doing, do it right so IMO since Signpost is weekly, there is always next week. For the questions above, this talk page Wikipedia talk:Tip of the day should provide answers. With this UTC clock on Wikipedia, I'm not sure about the 12 hours with time diff. etc. Regards, JoeHebda (talk) 14:28, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
    Well as you know, Im involved in the project and know whats going on but it is a requirement of the article that I interview a user from the project so it would be much appreciated if you would do that but kf you are too busy, its ok. Thanks Tortle (talk) 14:40, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
    Tortle, sorry I've only glanced at Signpost a couple of times & did not know of their requirements. Right now I'm half way thru monthly MS security updates (on my laptop) & have to break away right now. (On a slow 1Mb DSL line.) Will look into providing answers above. Just to let you know I just don't do well with deadlines. In ancient days, people lined up for execution were known as the dead line! JoeHebda (talk) 14:53, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
    Its all good, domt worry about it now though because the deadline is coming up fast. Maybe in a week or two, ill interview you. Im gonns take a look at that yellow lightbulb .Thanks, Tortle (talk) 18:16, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

    Interview responses[edit]

    Hi Tortle, below are my answers to the above questions. Note that for the numbered list to work, the lines must be kept together without a blank line in between, for example.

    1. Line number one
    2. Line number two
    3. Line number three


    • What is the goal of the project?

    Provide informative and instructional help for Wikipedia contributors in a single tip, idea or shortcut format.


    • Some might say that the tip of the day isnt contributing to the encyclopedia. What would you say in response?

    While we have no survey results or benchmarks to indicate direct linkage between TOTD views and resulting Wikipedia improvements, we can check the page information for some hard numbers.

    We see that both the TOTD page and the Tips (by subject) page are being viewed on a daily basis.

    Wikipedia:Tip_of_the_day has been viewed 4103 times in the last 30 days.

    Wikipedia:Tip_of_the_day has been viewed 23330 times in the last 90 days.

    Wikipedia:Tips (library) has been viewed 5522 times in the last 30 days.

    Wikipedia:Tips (library) has been viewed 26036 times in the last 90 days.

    A second consideration is the lack of controversy or negative feedback on these TOTD talk pages.


    • What are some recent issues or updates with the project?

    A new tip was added for The Wikipedia Adventure! (Tip schedule queue date: April 24).

    Added cross wikilinks between the TOTD page and Tips library page.

    In the Tips library, over 40 unsorted Tips were placed into subject categories.


    • How can editors get involved, please list the various ways.

    On the Tips schedule queue of 366 days there are not 366 unique individual tips, so new tips to be added to the schedule queue as well as removal of duplicate tips.

    To keep the Tip library in step with the scheduling queue, additional editors may help by reviewing the Tip library and performing cleanup.

    articles on the enclos paroissial of Brittany[edit]

    I note your edits of my various articles on the enclos paroissial of Brittany and rather than keep clicking "thank you" I thought a general thank you was appropriate.

    ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

    Hi,
    You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:07, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

    Hi! Thank you for the reminder! :)

    I often don't complete the assessment since I hadn't really familiarized myself with the exact criteria and differences in regards to both importance and quality ranking. I was mainly focusing on just adding articles to their respective projects. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:43, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
