Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter ↗, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays! <span class="skin-invert" style="color:#0645ad">Aaron Liu</span> (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

20px ↗ Featured script


:Very useful for changelist patrollers, '''DiffUndo''', by '''Nardog''', is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser ↗'s double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo ↗.

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!



Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found '''here ↗'''. If you have not yet signed up, you can '''add your name here ↗''' and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page ↗.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes ↗ to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points ↗ at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: {{User4|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User4|Epicgenius}}, {{User4|Frostly}}, {{User4|Guerillero}} and {{User4|Lee Vilenski}}. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small> MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:14, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter



The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points ↗ at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table ↗, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table ↗ shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:


The full scores for round 1 can be seen here ↗. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed ↗. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup ↗, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small> MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:13, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

CiteUnseen is not working for me


Hello, SuperHamster:
I found about your CiteUnseen and decided to try it.
I have:
:importScript( 'User:SuperHamster/CiteUnseen.js' ); // Backlink: User:SuperHamster/CiteUnseen.js
in User:Error/common.js and I copied your example in User:Error/CiteUnseen-Rules.js but still I see no icons in article reference URLs.
Can you guess what I am missing?

Thanks for your scripts!
--Error (talk) 22:55, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|Error}} Thanks for letting me know! There was a bug in the script when reading the full custom ruleset you have. Should be fixed now!

Your draft article, Draft:A New Kind of Wilderness ↗


48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

Hello, SuperHamster. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation ↗ submission or draft ↗ page you started, "A New Kind of Wilderness ↗".

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. <!-- Template:Db-draft-deleted --><!-- Template:Db-csd-deleted-custom --> <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">'''''L'''''iz</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">'''''Read!''''' ↗ '''''Talk!'''''</sup> 06:21, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter



The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points ↗ at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table ↗ shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:


In addition, we would like to recognize {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Generalissima}} for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here ↗. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed ↗. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup ↗, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small> MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:03, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Cite Unseen renovation



I recently rebuilt Cite Unseen with updated, community-maintainable domain lists (now supporting additional parameters such as date ranges, authors, and publishers) that caters to the use on Chinese Wikipedia. I also made a few tweaks to make the dashboard more useful. You can see the project page at :zh:User:SuperGrey/gadgets/CiteUnseen ↗ (and the prefix list ↗). It currently offers i18n support for English, Chinese, and Japanese, and can be imported globally across all Wikimedia projects.

That being said, the version hosted on Chinese Wikipedia prioritizes source evaluations by the Chinese Wikipedia community. For English-Wikipedia users, it might be helpful to migrate this renovated version back to User:SuperHamster/CiteUnseen, with reordered domain lists to reflect the English-Wikipedia consensus. If you'd like, we can collaborate on updating User:SuperHamster/CiteUnseen together. Alternatively, I can migrate it to my English-Wikipedia user page and we can continue development there.

Looking forward to your reply! '''<span style="color:#765CAE">Super</span><span style="color:#525252">Grey</span>''' (talk) 03:11, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|SuperGrey}} Oh, this is fantastic, thank you for sharing! I've been slowly working on some similar changes in the background (dashboard improvements, on-wiki lists) so it's great to see you're one step ahead of me. I'm happy to update my script here with these changes and continue to collaborate.
:Couple of questions for you:
:* What do you think of collaborating on the codebase over at gitlab.wikimedia.org? This could potentially serve as the central repository for us to collaborate, instead of having to maintain scripts separately across language versions of Wikipedia. I've copied my existing code over to https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/kevinpayravi/cite-unseen. If this sounds all right to you, I can add you as a maintainer to the repo and you can update the repo with your updated code (so you're properly credited for your work)? I see your Phabricator account but don't see an LDAP account attached, so I believe you'll need to make a developer account ↗ if you haven't done so yet. Once you're set up on GitLab I can add you to the repo. Once your code is in, I can see if I can add in some of the changes I have been working on (e.g. I have a "settings" modal I've been working on, and made the dashboard a filter so users can select a source type and only see sources that match that categorization).
:* What do you think of hosting centralized lists over at meta.wikimedia.org? This way, we can have a central set of lists that all language versions of CiteUnseen can refer to and pull from by default, instead of each language version of Wikipedia maintaining their own separately. There is, however, the challenge of when language versions of Wikipedia might disagree on how sources should be classified (e.g. for reliability categorizations, or what "government controlled" might mean). Perhaps we host central lists on meta.wikimedia.org that the script would pull from by default, but language wikis can also have their own separate local lists if they want?

::Thanks for the suggestion! I just registered for a developer account with the name <code>SuperGrey</code>. It seems that I still need a manual approval ↗ on the Phabricator before I can get access to the GitLab services, but other than that, alll seems good.
::For the centralized hosting, I agree it is a good way. As for the local differences, I think we don't actually need separate local lists -- just different "orders" would work. My current solution ↗ on Chinese Wikipedia puts Chinese source lists (e.g. :zh:WP:RS/P ↗) at the top; while in English Wikipedia, it can be :en:WP:RS/P ↗ at the top. And I believe at least for now, only English Wikipedia and Chinese Wikipedia have dedicated and rigorously-curated source lists, so there wouldn't be too many lists to handle. 😂 '''<span style="color:#765CAE">Super</span><span style="color:#525252">Grey</span>''' (talk) 07:20, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 July newsletter



The third round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 June. This round was again competitive, with three contestants scoring more than 1,000 round points:


Everyone who competed in round 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn. This table ↗ shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far, while the full scores for round 3 can be seen here ↗. During this round, contestants have claimed 4 featured articles, 16 featured lists ↗, 1 featured picture ↗, 9 featured-topic articles, 149 good articles, 27 good-topic articles, and more than 90 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 18 In the News ↗ articles, and they have conducted more than 200 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed in Round 4. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed ↗. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup ↗, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small> MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:50, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 27

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 27th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter ↗, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 2025! Boy, does it feel good to kick off the year with an issue. Yep, it's been a year since we cleared out the 2022-2024 backlog with issues 23 and 24! Good times. <small>Though in this case "a year" just means... 6 months? 😯 The salience of whatever joke I was planning to make here has vanished speedily.</small> <span class="skin-invert" style="color:#0645ad">Aaron Liu</span> (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

<small>20px ↗ Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here ↗!</small>

{{columns-start|num=3}}

20px ↗ Featured script


: '''WikiTextExpander''' by '''Polygnotus ↗''', is this edition's featured script. At the click of a configurable hotkey, this script will find and replace or link a configurable list of phrases within the selected text in all source editors (even in the comment/reply field!). Besides allowing the quick insertion of templated messages, this script greatly mitigates the WP:WTF? ↗ problem by providing both the legibility of familiar words and the convenience of shortcuts. And to those asking, the capitalization of "Wikitext ↗" as "WikiText" was a necessary sacrifice for far-more-memorable acronymy.

In breaking m:Tech/News ↗, {{tq|Gadgets can now include <code>.vue</code> files. This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using Vue.js ↗, in particular using Codex ↗, the official design system of Wikimedia. Codex icons ↗ are now also available. The documentation ↗ has examples.}}

20px ↗ New scripts


<!--The current convention is to use the Example/ScriptName ↗ notation for scripts added by someone other than the script author and Example ↗: SciptName ↗ for scripts the author adds themselves. Of course, you are always free to ignore all rules.-->

No, this is not going to be the enduring tradition of S++ for the future. This was meant to be a joke for the special occasion on the first day of the fourth month but was delayed by four months because I'm lazy.

WikiCup 2025 September newsletter



The fourth round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 29 August. The penultimate round saw three contestants score more than 800 points:


Everyone who competed in Round 4 will advance to Round 5 unless they have withdrawn. This table ↗ shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far, while the full scores for Round 4 can be seen here ↗. During this round, contestants have claimed 9 featured articles, 12 featured lists ↗, 98 good articles, 9 good topic ↗ articles, more than 150 reviews, nearly 100 did you know articles, and 18 in the news articles.

In advance of the fifth and final round, the judges would like to thank every contestant for their hard work. As a reminder, any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed in Round 5. In addition, note that Round 5 will end on 31 October at 23:59 UTC. Awards at the end of Round 5 will be distributed based on who has the most tournament points over all five rounds, and special awards will be distributed based on high performance in particular areas of content creation (e.g., most featured articles in a single round).

Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed ↗. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup ↗, and the judges – {{User|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User|Epicgenius}}, {{User|Frostly}}, {{User|Guerillero}} and {{User|Lee Vilenski}} – are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

I like your user page!



Hi Kevin :) My name is Sophie and I'm pretty new to Wiki. While I've largely been relying on the newcomer recommendations for navigating how to edit here, I feel kinda lost with building out my personal user profile. If you know of any templates I could use to personalize my page, I would love to hear your recs! I really like how you've made yours look Spindella000 (talk) 17:40, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|Spindella000}} Hey there! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for reaching out. I'm not sure of any particular templates unfortunately. I set up my page a very very long time ago. It's all HTML and CSS styling; you can find many guides online. There is the user page design guide ↗ (and in particular, the style ↗ page) that may be helpful or provide some inspiration (though it may also be a bit dated). If you have any ideas in mind or if I can help with anything, please let me know!

Welcome to the 2026 WikiCup!



Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2026 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found '''here ↗'''. If you have not yet signed up, you can '''add your name here ↗''', and a bot will set up your submissions page within one day, ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page ↗.

For the 2026 WikiCup, the highest-ranking contestants will receive tournament points ↗ at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. This is the same scoring system that we had last year. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants are no longer eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: {{User4|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User4|Epicgenius}}, {{User4|Frostly}}, {{User4|Guerillero}} and {{User4|Lee Vilenski}}. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small> MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:38, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Wikiportraits and galleries



Hi, Kevin. I enjoyed your presentation more than half a day ago on these closely related topics for the Philadelphia Wikisalon and it whetted my appetite. However, I am left with a terribly elementary question about each. First, is there a way to sign into Wikiportraits? Not that I am greatly interested in portrait photos, nor urgently desire a press pass; just itching with frustrated curiosity. Second, what's the URL for the galleries site? It seems obvious I wasn't paying proper attention, but still, has anything been done to make these things more findable? Jim.henderson (talk) 07:45, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
:Hey {{ping|Jim.henderson}} thanks for reaching out and listening to my ramblings!
:For WikiPortraits, our on-wiki documentation is at :commons:Commons:WikiPortraits ↗, and our more public-facing website is at wikiportraits.org ↗. You can explore our photos at :commons:Category:WikiPortraits by event type ↗. Folks interested in joining can sign up at wikiportraits.org/volunteer ↗. If you ever want to cover an event and need help getting a press credential, please let us know!
:The galleries site is at commons.gallery ↗. Would love if you have it a try.
:Thanks, '''~''<span style="color:#07517C;">Super</span>''<span style="color:#6FA23B;">Hamster</span>''' <small>Talk Contribs ↗</small> 09:39, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
::Thank you. How nice; there's a photo of a Wikimedia NYC meetup and there I am, 'way in back under orange cap. Anyway I think these links ought to appear in more places in Commons, such as in the Wikiportraits category headers. I'm in for a busy few days but will look more closely when I get more leisure.

Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026



Hello! I came across your name on a previous Wikimedia hackathon participant page, so I thought you might be interested in this.

We're organizing the Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026 ↗, taking place on '''13–14 March 2026''' in '''Arnhem, the Netherlands'''. It's a two-day, in-person hackathon for technical Wikimedians from the region.

Since you've attended a hackathon before, you already know how valuable these events can be for collaboration, learning, and getting things done together. We'd love to have you join us!

'''Apply here''' ↗ – registration closes mid-January or when full.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Hope to see you in Arnhem! Daanvr (talk) 14:53, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

WikiCup 2026 March newsletter



The first round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As some of you may have noticed, good article nomination reviews ↗ now receive 10 points, an increase from 5 points in the previous year, as per a consensus at WT:CUP ↗. This point increase has been retroactively applied to all good article reviews for which competitors have claimed points in this round. Peer reviews ↗, which continue to be worth 5 points, are now listed in the same section as featured article candidate reviews ↗, rather than with good article reviews. Everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.

Round 1 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 300 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:


The full scores for round 1 can be seen here ↗. During this round, contestants have claimed 7 featured articles, 16 featured lists, 2 featured-topic articles, 168 good articles, 13 good-topic articles and more than 50 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 14 In the News ↗ articles, and they have conducted nearly 700 reviews. The tournament points table ↗ will be updated within the next few days.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed ↗. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup ↗, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small> MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:57, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Source verification tools



Hi, I'm a co-author of User:Alaexis/AI_Source_Verification, so Cite Unseen caught my attention, great to see a tool in this area having lots of users. Curious about where Cite Unseen is headed. Alaexis<sub>¿question? ↗</sub> 11:05, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
:Hey {{ping|Alaexis}} Thanks for reaching out! What a cool tool, I'll have to give it a try.
:Right now our immediate focus for Cite Unseen is mostly continuing to expand our sources lists and ensuring user feedback (bugs, UI, etc.) is taken care of, especially as more users across more languages start using it. I think we also have potential to create a few more source categorizations (e.g. we recently introduced the AI-generated and AI-sourced categories).
:I suppose you're reaching out with an AI angle? You may be interested in the alternative-universe AI version of Cite Unseen I worked on at a hackathon in 2024; see slides here ↗. I basically made a new script that would have an LLM take a look at each source and give a short description of the source, publication, reliability, etc. It was just a POC and I never published it, but, that sort of thing is something I'm interested in exploring more in the future.
:If you reached out with anything in mind, please let me know! '''~''<span style="color:#07517C;">Super</span>''<span style="color:#6FA23B;">Hamster</span>''' <small>Talk Contribs ↗</small> 10:16, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks for sharing that! That looks cool and some of the scaling challenges are quite familiar. If you ever go back to it or build something new, feel free to add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Tools ↗. One thing that can be immediately useful is Publicai LLM credits. They were so kind as to give us some credits for use in Wikipedia tools which lowers the barrier a lot as users don't have to provide their own LLM API keys. Alaexis<sub>¿question? ↗</sub> 12:01, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
::Sent you something by email. Alaexis<sub>¿question? ↗</sub> 21:49, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Noted, thank you! And great to hear about the Publicai credits, that's nice of them. '''~''<span style="color:#07517C;">Super</span>''<span style="color:#6FA23B;">Hamster</span>''' <small>Talk Contribs ↗</small> 06:36, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

WikiCup 2026 May newsletter



The second round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 28 April. As a reminder for contestants who just joined or are unaware of recent changes to our round-points system, good article nomination reviews ↗ now receive 10 points, an increase from 5 points in the previous year, as per a consensus at WT:CUP ↗. Peer reviews ↗, which continue to be worth 5 points, are now listed in the same section as featured article candidate reviews ↗, rather than with good article reviews. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.

Round 2 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points; nine scored over 500; and fourteen scored over 300. The top seven contestants had at least one featured article ↗ (two of them with two apiece). The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:


The full scores for round 2 can be seen here ↗. During this round, contestants have claimed 12 featured articles, 13 featured lists, 2 featured-topic articles, 106 good articles, 22 good-topic articles and more than 40 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 3 In the News ↗ articles, and they have conducted over 200 reviews. The tournament points table ↗ has been updated.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed ↗. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup ↗, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small> MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:49, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

VisualEditor auto-generated reference names



Hi SuperHamster, I'm Johannes from Wikimedia Germany ↗'s Technical Wishes team ↗. We are currently considering improvements to VisualEditor auto-generated reference names ↗ in order to provide something more meaningful than <code><nowiki><ref name=":0"></nowiki></code> when editors re-use citations in VE. We want to make sure that the proposal works for all wikis. Given your work on CiteUnseen I reckon you might be interested in sharing feedback on our talk page ↗ about our proposals ↗. Thanks for your time! --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 15:17, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026



<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#F0F0FF; width:99%; padding:4px">
<!-- do not use ;Header to make bold headers per H:DL ↗, causes errors for screen readers -->
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

thumb|400px|New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026 ↗

'''Backlog update'''

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

'''2024 and 2025 NPP Awards'''

74px|left ↗{{no ping|JTtheOG}} was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.
{{no ping|Hey man im josh}} and {{no ping|MPGuy2824}} won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

{{no ping|BoyTheKingCanDance}}, {{no ping|Rosiestep}}, {{no ping|SunDawn}}, and {{no ping|Vanderwaalforces}} were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame ↗ for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

'''January–February backlog drive'''

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to {{no ping|JTtheOG}}, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

'''May backlog drive'''

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026 ↗.

'''PageTriage'''

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed ↗ to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket ↗ if you're interested in following along.

WikiCup 2026 July newsletter



The third round of the 2026 WikiCup ended on 28 June at 23:59 (UTC). As a reminder, good article nomination reviews ↗ now receive 10 points, while peer reviews ↗, which continue to be worth 5 points, are now listed in the same section as featured article candidate reviews ↗, rather than with good article reviews. Everyone who competed in round 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn or been banned. No other changes to the round-point system have been made for this year.

Round 3 was competitive. Three contestants scored more than 1,000 round points; eight scored over 500; and thirteen scored over 300. The top three contestants had at least one featured article ↗ (two of them with two apiece). The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:


The full scores for round 3 can be seen here ↗. During this round, contestants have claimed 12 featured articles, 12 featured lists, 7 featured-topic articles, 117 good articles, 74 good-topic articles and more than 30 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 13 In the News ↗ articles, and they have conducted nearly 180 reviews. The tournament points table ↗ has been updated.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed in Round 4. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed ↗. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup ↗, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send ↗.</small> MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:49, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
