Hello, in tkwiki needs the page tk:К:Википедия:Статьи с источниками из Викиданных deletion. Also it needs to be put out from Templates (or Modules). Because it makes problems in template like in tk:Nýu-Ýork şäheri. TayfunEt. (talk) 09:27, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

1234qwer1234qwer4 I had deleted the template last midnight. The second problem however, isn't something I can resolve. The infobox used on tk:Nýu-Ýork şäheri is tk:Şablon:IN, created by a former sysop and probably based on something on ruwiki. I don't know why, but whenever the infobox is used, "К:Википедия:Статьи с источниками из Викиданных" seems to pop up at a few parameters (1, 2, 3) and sometimes none at all (1). Google translate say that it's a category, but it ends up inside the infobox, not at the end of the article. ~Styyx ^{Talk? ^-^} 09:47, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

@Styyx, this comes from tk:Module:Sources. ~~~~

Crap, stuff that is even more technical? ~Styyx ^{Talk? ^-^} 00:17, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

You only need to change the part where the category is attempted to be included. I changed the namespace prefix for now so it doesn't show up as a redlink within the infobox at least. ~~~~

Done Seems this is all done. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:37, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

I noticed that a relative newbie, who seems to have recently asked the Stewards to unblock them on their home wiki, also added Template:Global policy to some pages here at Meta-Wiki, including the Stewards policy. This seems like a bad idea, but maybe this one actually is a global policy? Global policy doesn't exist, so I can't find a definition. Some other pages with this tag, like Requests for comment/Policy, also include a link to an RFC or other formal decision about the page's status. What do you think? WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:42, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Well, it has been always functioning like a policy. Ruslik (talk) 09:28, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Kinda, but since I don't believe there have been a community approval of it as a global policy other than indirect one via steward elections, I have removed the template. That is also traditionally one of the features of steward policy that we self-amend it when there is a call for it, would not make sense to do it via global RfCs... --Base (talk) 16:59, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Not done Closing as not done to cause archival. I don't see any actionable here from a steward standpoint. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:36, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Please edit s:zh:MediaWiki:Common.js to remove mw.loader.load('//en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:PageNumbers.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); It is no longer in use. --Midleading (talk) 03:43, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Could you please delete en:User:WillAndersULM/sandbox per en:Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:WillAndersULM/sandbox? Thanks. Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 22:39, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

The page will be deleted soon. --Sotiale (talk) 03:07, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Someone created a user and talk page on English Wiktionary with a user name that was libelous and mentioned what seems to be the offwiki name and location of someone. I deleted them and hid the log entries. Unfortunately, the page creation logs contain edit summaries mentioning the libelous names of those pages, and I can't touch them because the rest of the details have been suppressed. Could someone with oversighter rights suppress the remaining details in the logs? While they're at it, they might as well suppress the log details I hid, so they're all equally protected (Not that I think anyone is going to unhide them- I trust my fellow admins). I have a gadget that changes times to my time zone, but I believe the offending log entries are at 23:18, 13 November 2022 (UTC) Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 02:50, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

I just realized that the logs for our abuse filter 21 also recorded the page creations, and they're viewable by the public. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:04, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

@Chuck Entz Done. In the future, please email stewards-oversight@wikimedia.org, use Special:EmailUser/Wikimedia Stewards (Oversight), or ask in #wikimedia-stewards ^connect for suppression requests. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 04:22, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

en:User:Metsfan67 needs to be deleted and I need your help: it's over 5,000. The user has some article space edits, but their history shows they're not really here to work on our project, if they ever were, and there's some really weird spammy links in there. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 04:28, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Done @Drmies: This is done now (will take a short while to fully delete itself though). --Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:16, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Please remove these two style rules: 1, 2 at ar.wikiversity, because it makes categories appear on a separate line after the word "categories". (vector-legacey skin) --Mohanad Kh ^Talk 01:04, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

@Mohanad Kh: both Done. Please look for other consequences as it is hard to see where else it may have an impact, it was a pretty generic class name. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:58, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Thx @Billinghurst I will --Mohanad Kh ^Talk 09:12, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

@Billinghurst this style rule should disabled also, it's not useful actully --Mohanad Kh ^Talk 09:33, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Done — billinghurst sDrewth 09:43, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
