Question from MaudeMinerDescendant (21:57, 5 May 2024)[edit]
My ancestor Maude Miner Hadden was a Nobel Prize nominee in 1962 but her place of birth is listed incorrectly. How can I change that? --MaudeMinerDescendant (talk) 21:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

- The appearance of talk pages changed for all wikis, except for Commons, Wikidata and most Wikipedias (a few have already received this design change). You can read the detail of the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at remaining wikis in the coming weeks. [1][2]
Interface admins now have greater control over the styling of article components on mobile with the introduction of the SiteAdminHelper. More information on how styles can be disabled can be found at the extension's page. [3]- Wikimedia Enterprise has added article body sections in JSON format and a curated short description field to the existing parsed Infobox. This expansion to the API is also available via Wikimedia Cloud Services. [4]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 May. It will be on all wikis from 9 May (calendar). [5][6]- When you look at the Special:Log page, the first view is labelled "All public logs", but it only shows some logs. This label will now say "Main public logs". [7]
Future changes
- A new service will be built to replace Extension:Graph. Details can be found in the latest update regarding this extension.
- Starting May 21, English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia will get the possibility to activate "Add a link". This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to all Wikipedias. These communities can activate and configure the feature locally. [8]

Links removal[edit]
Hey Noreste you might want to double check the link removal on the page regarding the location . it is actually a legit link and follow the guidelines of wikipedia. Let me know if you need further info Adamou752 (talk) 17:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Adamou752: I've checked your edit, and it looks like you've added below the article's categories and it appears to be an external link. So is adding this necessary? Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 17:26, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes it does help a lot. Going through the article there is no mention of a practical way to show location on a map even it mentions relative and absolute location, not even Google maps. On that note if you are not comfortable with the previous link it could be replace by google map? Adamou752 (talk) 17:33, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- I think I have a solution: you could request this on the talk page if it's appropriate or not to add this link. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 17:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
