page translation France Vitrail International[edit]
Draft:France Vitrail International (Stained Glass)
Hello Keith, I saw you edited the page i'm trying to realize. Thank a lot for that! I'm not sure that I understood what to do... I did, after you, some edit but I saw it was not what I had to do, as all the ref are not at the good places (after reading the Help page I thought it was just about the links and not the ref) I tried to undone my changes but I have to do it manually. I would be pleased that we can speak a bit about what to do and how to do it. If you have time later. It's still a draft so we have time. Thank you again for your help, have a great and peaceful day
Eric — Preceding unsigned comment added by ERIC Maître Verrier (talk • contribs) 12:45, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- I have fixed the page layout problems of mis-matched </ref> tags and also the reference date errors. Keith D (talk) 12:56, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
Mick McCarthy[edit]
Hello Keith,
I do not understand why you reverted my edit on Mick McCarthy's page. The link I used to get his number of games from 994 to 999 was this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9329329/Mick-McCarthy-set-charge-1-000th-game-manager-against-Huddersfield-Town.html.
This link proves that four games were missing from his page, so therefore I've made the page factually accurate and it also proves that tonight is McCarthy's 1,000th game as a manager. Another link is below:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56291119
Thanks, 176.253.239.91 (talk) 15:03, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- The problem was that there were a number of references removed and scanning it I could not make sense of what was going on as you had not explained the edit in the edit summary field. By the way the Daily Mail is not classed as a reliable source. Keith D (talk) 15:08, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
OK understood, is this link reliable?

- Flagged revisions now give admins the review right. [3]
- When someone links to a Wikipedia article on Twitter this will now show a preview of the article. [4]
Problems

Infobox error[edit]
A see that you have edited Template:Infobox UK England county recently. Can you take a look at the errors in Northamptonshire (in the unitary authority section). The article changed recently which caused this, but I can figure out what is wrong. MB 21:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- @MB: Hello, before my edit it was converted to a wrapper for {{Infobox settlement}}. If the problem refers to the convert of area and density it looks like that needs
|gss_code=setting for unitary authorities and it is not set for Northamptonshire. Keith D (talk) 22:41, 12 March 2021 (UTC)- OK, that seems to be the problem. I put in an incorrect GSS code and the errors were gone. But with the what I believe is the correct code (E10000021), a population number shows up but the area is still missing. Where does the area actually come from? Is there some other template involved? MB 23:05, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- @MB: Hello, the area comes from {{English district area}} & {{English district area rank}} to which
|gss_code=is passed. Keith D (talk) 23:13, 12 March 2021 (UTC)- South and East Northamptonshire are in those tables, but not Northamptonshire. I am really too unfamiliar with English geography and government to know what to do next (i.e. was the infobox correct two days ago or does Northamptonshire belong in those tables now and if so, where to get the area and ranking?) Can you suggest a place to leave a note about this. MB 23:33, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- @MB: You could try at the project WP:WikiProject UK geography or may be the users who modified the template Keith Edkins or The Equalizer. Keith D (talk) 23:44, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Keith D & MB, the wrong field had been incorrectly populated by the user prior to @MB in the Infobox, so tidied that up and it all shows correctly now (considering the user was making changes in advance of the council being abolished in April) - Regs, The Equalizer (talk) 02:19, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- @The Equalizer: Many thanks for fixing the problem. Keith D (talk) 11:26, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

First Time Translator Requesting Guidance[edit]
Draft:Ghafour Youssefiani
Greetings Keith from Washington DC, I am hoping to get guidance from you on what more I might need to do to have an article I've translated from Persian into English? A "first timer" I am looking to learn the translation process, hoping to further contribute. One issue is, though I have ensured the Persian copy being translated is the most current, I keep getting an error that the copy being translated is an earlier version, which is not so. Reaching out to you because you edited an earlier version of the article on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ghafour_Youssefiani Kind regards, - Marty — Preceding unsigned comment added by مهرداد یوسفیانی (talk • contribs) 19:05, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Marty, sorry but I have no knowledge of the translation process. I edited the article to fix the cite date error messages that were being displayed. You may find the answers to problems over the translation process at Wikipedia:Translation, though some text from that page has recently been moved to Help:Translation. Keith D (talk) 19:18, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
Pipe fix[edit]
Hi, Keith D, and thanks for this fix to a missing pipe at Ordinance of 9 August 1944. How do you manage to find stuff like that, just happened to be browsing, or something more organized? Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:49, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, articles go into Category:CS1 maint: PMC format that is a hidden category which can be seen by setting the option in your preferences. (Appearance tab, Advanced options, Show hidden categories). You can also get inline text to show which reference is causing the problem by following the instructions on the category page. Keith D (talk) 20:58, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 21:02, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
Tech News: 2021-12[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.
Recent changes
- There is a Wikipedia app for KaiOS phones. They don't have a touch screen so readers navigate with the phone keys. There is now a simulator so you can see what it looks like.
- The reply tool and new discussion tool are now available as the "Discussion tools" beta feature in almost all wikis except German Wikipedia.
Problems
- You will be able to read but not edit twelve wikis for a short period of time on 23 March at 06:00 (UTC). This can also affect password changes, logging in to new wikis, global renames and changing or confirming emails. This could take 30 minutes but will probably be much faster.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 March. It will be on all wikis from 25 March (calendar).
- Syntax highlighting colours will change to be easier to read. This will soon come to the first wikis. [13]
Future changes
- Flagged revisions will no longer have multiple tags like "tone" or "depth". It will also only have one tier. This was changed because very few wikis used these features and they make the tool difficult to maintain. [14][15]
- Gadgets and user scripts can access variables about the current page in JavaScript. In 2015 this was moved from
wg*tomw.config.wg*will soon no longer work. [16]

Middlesbrough and Stockton Council area[edit]
The town of Middlesbrough includes the TS2 area which mostly lies within Stockton-on-Tees council boundaries. This is written within the Wikipedia page:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Clarence
I will include external references to verify the accuracy of this information to this segment of the page Lbooth89 (talk) 20:14, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
I have found more overlap in the TS8 area too. I'll add this as a reference. Lbooth89 (talk) 20:29, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
Further verification for the reason for change. See TS2 and TS8:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TS_postcode_area
How do I include external sources? Lbooth89 (talk) 20:47, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Lbooth89: It is not Post Code areas that are used for the determining of the authority the place is in as Post Codes are just for the convenience of the post office. You need to have just areas that relate to the council area (under the council jurisdiction) and none of Middlesbrough is covered by Stockton-on-Tees council. Keith D (talk) 21:07, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
You are mistaking council area for the town itself. What has happened to the Redcar and Cleveland bit too? Eston, Ormesby, Normanby, South Bank and Grangetown are all suburbs of Middlesbrough. Lbooth89 (talk) 22:45, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Please see the talk page there is a much broader discussion of what "Middlesbrough" actually is. Koncorde (talk) 00:53, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
WikiProject Yorkshire/Watch All & WikiProject Yorkshire/Articles[edit]
Hi Keith: Wanted to let you know I've moved Ann Walker of Lightcliffe to Ann Walker (landowner) per an editor's suggestion/request and support of a 2nd editor. All discussion is on the talk page. The move should bring the page name into compliance with WP:NCPDAB policies. While updating the links to prevent double redirects I came across two WikiProject Yorkshire pages (as listed in the subhead above) and thought you might want to know. Watch All & Articles will need to be updated accordingly. Wasn't sure if these were pulled by hand, a SQL query or some sort of script so I didn't want to mess with them. Also the pages took to long to load for me because I usually work on my phone. Hit me up if you have questions or need a hand. Cheers. Kimdorris (talk) 10:54, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, I used to create them with a script, but changes caused the script to fail. I switched to using AWB and changed the naming of the files, it is a little fiddly, so they do not get updated so often but will pick it up when I next generate the pages. Keith D (talk) 20:59, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
Tech News: 2021-13[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.
Recent changes
- Some very old web browsers don’t work well with the Wikimedia wikis. Some old code for browsers that used to be supported is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. [17]
- IRC recent changes feeds have been moved to a new server. Make sure all tools automatically reconnect to
irc.wikimedia.organd not to the name of any specific server. Users should also consider switching to the more modern EventStreams. [18]
Problems
- When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split. It might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. [19]
- Some translatable pages on Meta could not be edited. This was because of a bug in the translation tool. The new MediaWiki version was delayed because of problems like this. [20][21]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 March. It will be on all wikis from 1 April (calendar).

Talk:Arn Gill[edit]
You might be interested in this one, which possibly is and isn't on your patch. The original article has apparently been deleted, and subsequently merged (a little) with River Gaunless, to which it is a tributary. There is a Welsh copy of the original Arn Gill article here, and a Commons category for it here. I think that what happened was that the original article was categorised as a village, although it is actually a beck in Langleydale, County Durham here. So maybe it got deleted because no-one could find the supposed village, and no-one was looking for a beck. (Note also, it's ARN Gill, not AM Gill - easy to misread).
At the same time, there is another Arn Gill in North Yorkshire, and that one is a ravine which contains ruined lead mines called Arn Gill Mines, here. The existing Commons category and Welsh article (both linked above) refer to County Durham, though, so I guess we must be dealing with that one.
I'd like to reinstate the article, though, even if it's only a stub, but with the correct co-ord and categories. What do you think? Storye book (talk) 14:10, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- Yes I would recreate a stub to cover the County Durham entry, though may be best to place at Arn Gill (County Durham) as not really the main article for the term. Keith D (talk) 20:53, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
Tech News: 2021-14[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.
Recent changes
- Editors can collapse part of an article so you have to click on it to see it. When you click a link to a section inside collapsed content it will now expand to show the section. The browser will scroll down to the section. Previously such links didn't work unless you manually expanded the content first. [22]
Changes later this week
- The citoid API will use for example
2010-12-XXinstead of2010-12for dates with a month but no days. This is because2010-12could be confused with2010-2012instead ofDecember 2010. This is called level 1 instead of level 0 in the Extended Date/Time Format. [23] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 April. It will be on all wikis from 8 April (calendar).
Future changes
- PAWS can now connect to the new Wiki Replicas. Cross-database
JOINSwill no longer work from 28 April. There is a new way to connect to the databases. Until 28 April both ways to connect to the databases will work. If you think this affects you and you need help you can post on Phabricator or on Wikitech.

Talk:York/Archive 1[edit]
Hi Keith, I probably owe you an explanation for my latest moves with this page along with Talk:York. I found it while following links and, when I check a talk page, it is my habit to check its earliest revision to see if its text was removed in later edits. (This can surprisingly often cough up buried treasure (or junk, if you will). Anyway when I checked the history at Talk:York, I was very confused when the first revision had "new section" in its edit summary; I had *never* encountered that before. I noticed you doing a history split on the page but didn't really understand its purpose, so I undertook to put the history back where I thought it belonged, by moving some edits at Talk:York to Talk:York/Archive 1. After some thought and going through your move log, searching it for moves of archive pages, I realised there was actually a method to your madness, and that my history fiddling made the history at Talk:York/Archive 1 more confusing. Therefore I put everything back where it was initially. I think I've done everything correctly but it's ridiculously late at night here so I may have made a mistake; feel free to double-check my work. I'm aware that you no longer do these talk archive moves in the main namespace. Graham87 20:55, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Are you OK?[edit]
I have noticed that you were making a considerable output on WP until 26 March, but have not contributed since then, and that (unusually for you) you have not put up your wikibreak notice. So please could you kindly let us know that you are OK? Please forgive me for asking such a question - but the present climate tends to give a cause for concern these days. Your contributions have always been highly valued, and your presence here is currently very much missed. All the best. Storye book (talk) 08:08, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- I too am as concerned as Storye book is. Your absence is notable. Here's hoping everything is okay with you Keith. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 07:40, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Storye book and The joy of all things: Hello & thanks for the consern. I am OK, my PC died and have had to wait until the unlock on April 12th to get it into a repair shop. I now have a new hard drive in the PC but have to get things back up and running - what a pain. Keith D (talk) 00:05, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Glad to hear it, Keith D. I am sure you have a backlog! If you need any help, just ask. Happy editing. The joy of all things (talk) 06:01, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- If you want too help you could convert the new references in Kingston upon Hull to use cite templates for consistency. Keith D (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2021 (UTC) - that's a big article; it take ages to resolve when editing! Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 20:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Many thanks for that. Keith D (talk) 20:29, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Good news! So glad to hear you're OK. Now, of course we'll expect you to put in extra hours to make up for it - there's a big pile of wrong-sort-of-hyphens that's built up in Yorkshire new articles ... (just joking). Good to see you back. Storye book (talk) 10:10, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Tech News: 2021-16[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.
Recent changes
- Email to the Wikimedia wikis are handled by groups of Wikimedia editors. These volunteer response teams now use Znuny instead of OTRS. The functions and interface remain the same. The volunteer administrators will give more details about the next steps soon. [24][25]
- If you use syntax highlighting, you can see line numbers in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors when editing templates. This is to make it easier to see line breaks or talk about specific lines. Line numbers will soon come to all namespaces. [26][27][28]
- Because of a technical change there could be problems with gadgets and scripts that have an edit summary area that looks similar to this one. If they look strange they should use
mw.loader.using('mediawiki.action.edit.styles')to go back to how they looked before. [29] - The latest version of MediaWiki came to the Wikimedia wikis last week. There was no Tech News issue last week.
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- The user group
oversightwill be renamedsuppress. This is for technical reasons. This is the technical name. It doesn't affect what you call the editors with this user right on your wiki. This is planned to happen in two weeks. You can comment in Phabricator if you have objections.

Harv error - false positive[edit]
Hi KeithD: I see you fixed references to Marshal's Royal Naval Biography that were throwing up harv cite errors. Following the suggestions of @PBS: I recently made a large number of Marshall cites in dozens of ship articles. Is the cite error a general problem that I need to take account of when creating the citations, or were the cases you fixed specific glitches? Please advise. Acad Ronin (talk) 15:18, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, I think it is a general problem because of the intermediate template that is used to call the {{cite *}} template. I suspect every instance will cause the problem, unless something can be done with the {{cite RNB1823}} template (or similar) to avoid the problem. Keith D (talk) 15:25, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Can you explain to me what the problem is? Or at least the page which was edited to fix the problem so that I can see what it is. -- PBS (talk) 15:42, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- I presume it is HMS Scout (1804) history. Specifically this edit which suppressed the appearance of the article in category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors by tagging the parameter "ignore-err=yes" into {{sfnp|Marshall|1832|p=154|ignore-err=yes}}. Is that correct? -- PBS (talk) 16:01, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Assuming this is the error I checked the article using
{{Cite NBD1849}}and it places the article into the same tracking category, but{{cite EB1911}}which is also a wrapper does not. In other words it appears that there is something incorrect in{{cite RNB1823}}(Marshall) and{{Cite NBD1849}}(O'Byrne). I have already checked and it is not multiple instances of either template causing the error so it must be something else and I will run some tests to try to identify what. In the meantime please do not add any "ignore-err=yes" parameters as that is a sticking plaster over the error and does not effect what the reader is seeing. -- PBS (talk) 16:38, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

OK found it. This is a really nasty problem because it only shows up in article space, not in tempate or user space so it has to be tested for in article space.
The explanation is here: Category:Harv_and_Sfn_template_errors#Current_limitations_and_false-positive_errors — these two wrapper templates need to be added to Module:Footnotes/whitelist. I've spent a lot more time on Wikipedia today that I budgeted for user:Keith D please could you make the request to add {{cite RNB1823}} (Marshall) and {{Cite NBD1849}} (O'Byrne) to Module:Footnotes/whitelist? -- PBS (talk) 17:31, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, it was on HMS Acheron (1803) that the edits were made as well to remove the error message and category listing for the article.
- Would not adding the wrapper template to a whitelist prevent any actual errors been shown if it ignores all cases of template usage? Keith D (talk) 20:42, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- My boat is currently moored in a spot with very spotty internet access. Short answer is no. My tests yesterday used
{{Cite EB1911}}as a known benchmark and it worked as one expects showing up the same errors as{{cite encyclopedia}}(around which it wraps), which is how I found out about that list. -- PBS (talk) 15:47, 22 April 2021 (UTC)- I have added a request to "Module talk:Footnotes" for these two templates to be added to the list. -- PBS (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding requests, I was just cautious in case we were going to lose error messages. There has to be a better way of handling this. (The e-mail service does not appear to be working as have not got notification of your edits to my talk page). Keith D (talk) 21:42, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
