Hello, apologies for the message in English. User:Tulsi Bhagat was globally locked at the start of January for abusing multiple accounts and cross-wiki abuse. CheckUser evidence showed that he was creating vandalism-only accounts, then reverting and reporting them. After his account was locked, another user came forward and said that they were behind the abuse, and that they had hacked Tulsi Bhagat's account. We have no evidence that this is the case, though we cannot disprove it either.
Tulsi Bhagat's account will be unlocked within the next couple of days, but first I wanted to bring this incident to the attention of the community. This user holds sysop rights here, and as such if his account is still compromised or if he is still editing disruptively there could be damage here. I wanted to make sure that the local communities that this affects are informed before any further action is taken by us, so that you are aware of what is happening. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks, Ajraddatz (वार्ता) १२:४९, ९ फरबरी २०१७ (NPT)
During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.
Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).
We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki.
Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0 in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0
Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.
Hello, I have seen that the 'Template:Documentation' is still not using Lua Module. In order to update this template to Lua version, some Admin actions are needed. Please replace the following pages with the content from respective enwiki pages:
OK! Now Lua Module:Documentation is implemented to produce documentation pages for templates and modules through Template:Documentation. The messages displayed in such documentation are localized at Module:Documentation/config. Since I have limited knowledge of Maithili language, these may be revisited and rectified by Admins. After this task, some templates (or doc pages) have become obsolete and are being nominated for deletion:

These new requirements will apply to new accounts and privileged accounts. New accounts will be required to create a password with a minimum length of 8 characters. Privileged accounts will be prompted to update their password to one that is at least 10 characters in length.
These changes are planned to be in effect on December 13th. If you think your work or tools will be affected by this change, please let us know on the talk page.
This would make fighting spam easier and safer without needing to know regex or accidentally breaking wikis while also addressing the need to have some notes next to each domain on why it’s blocked. It would also make the list of blocked domains searchable and would make editing Wikis in general faster by optimizing matching links added against the blocked list in every edit (see phab:T337431#8936498 for some measurements).
Note that this new feature doesn’t support regex (for complex cases) nor URL paths matching. Also it doesn’t support bypass by spam whitelist. For those, please either keep using MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist or switch to an abuse filter if possible. And adding a link to the list might take up to five minutes to be fully in effect (due to server-side caching, this is already the case with the old system) and admins and bots automatically bypass the blocked list.
