nice username! also, what made u choose the name organhaver? AltoHampton t • c • g • s 00:49, 27 May 2026 (UTC) |
- Thank you for the question and barnstar! I've actually answered this before. See here.
- ...I'm also just bad at remembering things, so also could be wrong.
- Just to say, but I've seen you're very generous with barnstars. I do appreciate them, and I bet others do as well, but... at the very least, my username isn't that interesting, haha. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 04:29, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Organhaver ok. both of us read it, and u said its just some random term that came up in mind, similar to men kissing. AltoHampton t • c • g • s 22:52, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- oh and regarding,
but I've seen you're very generous with barnstars.
, its normal to do so. i’m used to it, and alexa’s used to it too. although, i don’t think we’re too generous tho. AltoHampton t • c • g • s 00:08, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for stepping in in the recent incident concerning the proposed deletion of Discrimination against transgender men. I appreciate everyone who has stepped in to oppose that spurious deletion proposal! Fwltur Gwydr (talk) 13:29, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
Removal of Genderless people
Hello!
I disagree with your removal of genderless people from the agender page, genderless does not have its own page, with agender covering that, so agender people should go in that category in my opinion. I also included the public universal friend based on that same idea, as an early genderless person they could be included in that section.
Thank you! Pencilceaser123 (talk) 03:17, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
- Also want to add the images you added for people are really cool! Its a great idea to include a traditionally masculine looking and traditionally feminine looking person to the section Pencilceaser123 (talk) 03:32, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
Article copies
To answer a question you asked at this MFD I just closed, policy does make a difference between copying an article to a user subpage and a draft. Users can draft changes to articles in a subpage of theirs, at least for a little bit, but drafts that have the same scope as an article are redirected to the article.

Updates for editors
- The Reader Experience team is conducting an experiment to show the reading lists feature, which is still in development, to logged-out mobile readers to test whether it encourages account creation at a higher rate compared to the watchstar button. The experiment was launched on May 18th on German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu wikis, and it will run for a month.
- The Wikimedia Apps team released Phase 1 of the redesigned Home Feed to the Android Beta app. The new Home Feed includes a refreshed "Community" tab and a personalized "For You" tab featuring daily updated reading recommendations. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve content discovery and create more engaging learning experiences in the Wikipedia apps.
View all 18 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where images could fail to load for some suggested edits on Special:Homepage, leaving the thumbnail stuck in a loading state, has now been fixed.

Agender good article nom and userbox request
hello! How are you doing. thanks for your help on the agender page. I have nominated it for good article after doing a ton of work to try and make it meet the criteria. Maybe you could make some comments on the review or something?
also: is there any chance you could make some userbox that says something along the lines of "this user has never stated their preferred pronouns on wikipedia and doesn't intend to" like better worded and hopefully not using "their" in it. Just for fun and to make my profile kinda genderless or something. Thanks! Happy pride month. Pencilceaser123 (talk) 00:20, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Hello! I don't work with good article reviews or anything like that, but I'll certainly check it out! Probably won't make any comments. For your userbox request, I'll make that as soon as I can (I currently cannot use my original computer I typically have to edit Wikipedia, and everything's been... a little weird with that). Thanks for the request and comment! Happy pride month to you as well. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 01:01, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

- Please tell me if you'd like anything changed!
- Couldn't exactly avoid a possessive pronoun, and I wasn't sure what to add for the image. Also, didn't change the wording much, haha... Again, I'd love to hear any suggestions.
Thanks for the request! 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 04:16, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) Maybe something like "The preferred pronouns of this user have never been stated on Wikipedia, and are unlikely to be stated"? Chess enjoyer (talk) 08:07, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Also, that userbox has insufficient color contrast. Chess enjoyer (talk) 08:09, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- oh yes that works Pencilceaser123 (talk) 10:24, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Chess enjoyer, I've fixed the contrast and changed the text (yours is really good). Eventually, I'm going to fix contrast for all my userboxes, because... yikes. Thank you. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 15:14, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from Star Walker 21:30, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
Why did you stop using File:Winged SOUL.png? Has an angel lost its wings? Wikipedian Talk to me! or not… 21:30, 3 June 2026 (UTC) Wikipedian Talk to me! or not… 21:30, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for reminding me, whoops. I only stopped using it because I didn't like how it looked, and... my pixel art hasn't improved, haha. Maybe I'll redraw it in the future... do be assured an angel has not lost its wings. Because the angel is me. And. Um. Well, now that I think about it... okay. Keep a lookout for a image change (or maybe I'll forget this tomorrow (I do it often enough)). 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 05:19, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

a recreation of File:Winged SOUL.png, with a halo. - @Organhaver, no need to redraw the image, cuz i already did it for you! (and its not pixel art, so i'm sorry, cuz i'm not used to pixel art, and its watermarked due to nasty vandals) AHR (g • s • c) 23:23, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you, but I didn't ask...! I would actually appreciate if you didn't do stuff like that, especially because this is very personal for me :)
- Coincidentally, I redrew my SOUL image (as File:Angel SOUL.png) today. I think it's nice. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 04:50, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from BeaFleming (19:45, 8 June 2026)
Hello, i’m trying to upload personal pictures to make my mom’s professional career in wikipedia. These pictures were taken around 1952-53. I tried to upload them but i got the message that i cannot do that, why? --BeaFleming (talk) 19:45, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
- That's because ,generally, private, unpublished materials such as correspondence or photographs cannot directly be used in a Wikipedia article, but if you wish to donate images you need to first understand the possible licensing - Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials#Donating your photographs. Also, take a look at the following instructions:
- To use a picture on Wikipedia, we need permission from whoever owns it.
- If it is your OWN picture - then you can just upload it yourself, at "Commons", saying "It is entirely my own work" - at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Upload .
- If it is NOT YOURS, then the owner can give permission in two ways;
- A) They could put it on a website (flickr, or their own site) with an appropriate licence, such as "Public Domain" or "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike" (that is an option in flickr)
- B) They could email us permission. You could ask them to do that, by sending them an email saying something like "Hi, I've written a page on Wikipedia, and I'd really like to add a picture - but as Wikipedia is FREE, we can only use freely-licenced pictures. If you have any which you can give permission for, please send me an email back with the text below, and the picture(s) attached."
- -Then add a copy of this: http://enwp.org/user:chzz/help/myboilerplate (having filled the form out)
- -And send the email (attached picture file + completed form) to: permissions-commons@wikimedia.org
- Hope that all makes sense. - Shearonink (talk) 20:20, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply.
- I was going to write the article about my mom’s career so I would be the owner or author. But the photos were not taken by me, I wasn’t even born in 1952-53. Everyone from that generation has now passed away so has the photographer I pressume. And that event took place in Montevideo, Uruguay. So, I guess I won’t be writing anything if I cannot upload pictures of my mom.
- Again, thank you. BeaFleming (talk) 20:38, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
- Oh, please don't give up. Wikipedia ia a big place and sometimes I can barely find my own way around and I've been editing since 2010! I've left some "Welcomes" on your user talk page. Take a look at the links and take a little step, maybe do some small edits, and maybe work on your article in your sandbox - User:BeaFleming/sandbox. - Shearonink (talk) 21:35, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Edit to 6-7
You changed last= & first= to last1= & first1= in a cite news template with the edit summary of Last/First1 is used, see template documentation. That's not quite correct. Per Template:Cite news#Authors, lastn & firstn only need to be used when there are multiple authors. When there is a single author, last= & first= are correct. - Shearonink (talk) 20:07, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-24
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- Wikimedia Enterprise has increased the free usage limits for its API offerings. The monthly request limit for the On-demand API has increased from 5,000 to 50,000 requests, while the Snapshot API limit has increased from 15 to 30 requests per month. In addition, Structured Contents snapshots are now available for free accounts. These changes expand access to Wikimedia Enterprise data for developers, researchers, and organizations using Wikimedia content.
Updates for editors
- The refreshed Explore Feed, now called the Home Feed, is rolling out to 50% of users of the Wikipedia Android app. The Home Feed helps readers discover relevant content through two new tabs: Community and For You. The Community tab provides a scrollable feed of curated content and updates from the broader Wikimedia community and movement, while the For You tab offers a full-screen, swipeable experience that shows content tailored to a user's interests. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve discovery and enhance the learning experience in the Wikipedia app.
- The Which came first? daily trivia game is now available in the beta version of the Wikipedia iOS app in English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. The game uses historical events from Wikipedia's "On This Day" content and challenges readers to guess which of two events happened first. The game was previously released on Android. Communities interested in making the game available in their languages can read the instructions and requirements.
- Sub-referencing, a new MediaWiki feature that allows editors to reuse references with different details, will begin rolling out to Wikimedia wikis following a successful pilot phase. Deployment will start on 8 June for most Group 1 wikis and French Wikipedia, with additional Wikipedia language editions receiving the feature over the coming months. Communities are encouraged to prepare by checking for untranslated Cite extension messages in their language and reviewing any use of Reference Tooltips, which may require updates to support the new functionality. Wikis using Reference Previews do not need to take any action. Communities may also wish to create the cite-tracking-category-ref-details tracking category as a hidden category using
__HIDDENCAT__(or a dedicated template), and connect it to the corresponding Wikidata item d:Q129764848. - The Page Previews experiment on mobile web has concluded. The team decided not to roll out the feature after the results showed no statistically significant impact on reader retention, as the primary success metric was retention improvement. Page Previews, which are already available on desktop and in the apps, display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and link to the full article when readers tap a blue link. The experiment tested this experience on mobile web across six Wikipedias.
- The user interface icon library will be updated later this week or next week. Most of the ~300 icons have been slightly refined and ~30 new icons have been added. These changes improve the icons to make them more consistent and comprehensible, and provide more visual balance when they are used in groups.
- The Universal Language Selector (ULS) interface in MediaWiki, which helps users select content in other languages, has been updated. The new version improves speed and accessibility, and users of Wikimedia projects can now pin languages for quicker language switching. The deployment to Wikimedia sites will happen gradually in the coming weeks. You can test it now as a beta feature by selecting beta features in your profile preferences and share your feedback on the project page.
View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the Pageviews Analysis dashboard on pageviews.wmcloud.org stopped updating graph data in May 2026, affecting all users, has been fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
- The function signature for
mw.util.addPortletLink()has been simplified. Developers can now pass a configuration object instead of a list of positional parameters when creating portlet links. The previous function signature remains supported for backwards compatibility. For example, instead of:mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', '#', 'Stub', 'ca-stubtag', 'Add a stub tag to this page');usemw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', { href: '#', text: 'Stub', id: 'ca-stubtag', tooltip: 'Add a stub tag to this page' });. Script maintainers are encouraged to review existing uses ofaddPortletLink()and update them where appropriate. This change will be available on all wikis from 11 June. Thanks to community volunteer Gerges for contributing this improvement. - Community Wishlist discussion: Product & Technology introduced changes meant to increase the number and complexity of wishes fulfilled, including the disbanding of the Community Tech team. They are engaging in discussions about a proposed direction for the wishlist from community members. Includes ways to structure annual voting, better tracking of wishes, removing focus areas, and staffing updates.

- Well, I never actually said the issue, but sure. Yeah, I still can't use it. Now it's been a bit worse since I can barely access Wikipedia at all (besides on mobile, but I really do not like mobile). I'll see how this turns out. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 17:09, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

W.D. Gaster
I am going to revert your edit again as you again reverted my edit. You claimed the context i added was without references. That is wrong. Literally on the same section as the image posted contained this sentence backed up by sources:
"...and references to Gaster's "Entry Number Seventeen" in in-game dialogue, on old revisions of Deltarune's website."
The website being sourced contained this sentence: "...Gaster has been teased to make an appearance in the upcoming sequel Deltarune through the secret True Lab entry appearing on Deltarune's website."
Please stop doing this edit war. Monathephantom (talk) 22:27, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
- The link you gave me points to a UGC website, which is most certainly (to my knowledge) not the source you want to cite. I do not know where the actual website is since you have not directed me to it. The WP:BURDEN of supporting text with citations is on you, for adding the content, so it would be nice if I could have that (and you should not include that in the article without a citation).
- Regardless, that does not fully support the image or caption. The quotes you give do not verify that is was "
The Deltarune website on August 19, 2016
", specifically, nor that it "contains a quote of Deltarune's prophecy
", and nor the translation "which reads "THREE HEROES APPEAR TO BANISH THE ANGELS HEAVEN
". Even if citing the original source, you can't exactly say it "contains a quote of Deltarune's prophecy
" without that being WP:OR. - Also, this is not officially an WP:EDITWAR yet, but, yeah, disruptive. I have reverted only twice. Anyways, hope this works out, and I'll make a message on the W. D. Gaster talk page so other editors can talk. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 00:31, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Organhaver In that case, please remove my edit! Monathephantom (talk) 00:34, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
- Easy enough, I guess? Sure. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 00:38, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-25
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- The Reader Growth team has launched an Image Browsing beta feature on the mobile web version of all Wikipedias. The feature shows an image carousel at the top of articles with 3 or more images. Editors can configure this feature with the following controls: to hide a specific image from a page, either use
class=notpageimageexcluding it from thumbnail previews, orclass=noviewerexcluding it from MediaViewer. The carousel can also be disabled from a page entirely, with the magic word__NOMEDIAVIEWERCAROUSEL__. To submit feedback or flag bugs, please visit the project page. - Wikitables can now be sorted in descending order on the first click by adding
data-sort-order="desc"to the header cell. Previously, by default, clicking a column header for the first time sorts it in ascending order. This addition to a Wikitable gives it more control and flexibility, while the default behavior for subsequent clicks remains unchanged.
Updates for editors
- The Article guidance feature is currently being tested with some editors creating new articles on the Simple English, French, and Turkish Wikipedias. The experiment will soon begin on the Arabic and Bangla Wikipedias as well. This feature gives editors community-curated guidance to help them create articles that follow community standards. Experienced editors can continue creating or adapting outlines for specific article types that are commonly created by less experienced contributors. The outlines guide less experienced editors in creating high-quality articles. A quick guide to markups used in outlines can be found on this page. Example outlines that can be adapted and instructions for how to adapt them are on this section of the project page.
- Wikis that wish to replace the "indefinitely" button in Special:Block for temporary accounts (for example, wikis that block temporary users only until account expiration) will be able to do so by creating MediaWiki:ipb-indefinite-expiry-temporary-account with the block duration they want.
View all 41 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Updates for technical contributors
- By the end of June, a valid user-agent string will be required for automated dumps downloads from the dumps.wikimedia.org website. Automated requests that provide a generic or empty user-agent will be blocked. This extends enforcement of the long standing user-agent policy. Access to dumps through Wikimedia Cloud Services will not change.
- The roll out of global API rate limits is now complete, with limits enforced across all APIs and at the documented levels for all groups. Bots running in Toolforge/WMCS or with the bot user right on any wiki remain exempt. All bots should continue to follow the documented best practices to avoid being rate limited.
- The API Portal wiki will be read only starting this week (June 15-18). The following week (June 22-25), all API Portal wiki URLs will redirect to Wikimedia APIs on mediawiki.org. Learn more on the project page.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
Meetings and events
- On June 17th at 6pm UTC the WMF will be holding Discord call focused on a code review. We've heard through the Developer Satisfaction Survey that volunteers are struggling with code review and we'd like to discuss these experiences with the goal of surfacing workable solutions. You can join the call via the Wikimedia Community Discord server.
- The Latin American Wikimedia Conference will host a regional hackathon that will bring together the Wikimedia movement’s technical community including developers, system administrators, data scientists, and users with extended rights. Interested technical contributors can apply for a scholarship to participate until June 21 at midnight (Bolivia time, UTC-4).
- Sign up for Wikimania Team Challenges to join this special event. The Team challenges will take place online and in person from July 21 to 22, before Wikimania conference. Everyone is welcome, regardless of skills or Wikimania registration. Teams will work on 10 important challenges supporting the Wikimedia community. For details, visit the Team Challenges page and register there. Registration closes on June 20th at 11pm UTC.

Hello, how do l create a page? --Denford.txl (talk) 14:17, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
- See WP:How to create a page. If you want to write an article, specifically, see WP:Your first article. Some of these are a little confusing, so if you need you can ask me about them. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 15:16, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
Overlinking
Remember, you do not need to link for the same or extremely similar (like trans man and transgender man) term more than once. I just had to remove 28 repeat links on Fetishization of LGBTQ people after your most recent edits. Please be more careful with how add links in the future. Urchincrawler (talk) 00:56, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
- Some clarification: I did not overlink, I added repeat links, and linking a term more than once in an article is (most often) fine.
- The article did not have many wikilinks previously, and I believed I followed MOS:REPEATLINK throughout (although for some I did not). The policy says that links should be added for new major sections. Thank you for removing some, and I do not especially understand why you did that in 11 separate edits, but, regardless. I will say that I have seen other articles with a much higher frequency of repeat links, but I can understand wanting to follow with policy. Thanks. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 01:06, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
Hey, know how to format images?
Reaching out on the off chance that you can lend a hand here: I've managed to get permission for an image to be added to Patrick Ball (permission formally pending with Commons volunteers). However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to format the image to fit within the infobox. You were the first competent editor who came to mind. No worries if you're busy or uninterested, though. Trotsk6 (talk) 17:31, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Done. There's no need to format images in infoboxes as links or write thumbor anything; just the bare filename goes in the|image=parameter. The caption goes in the separate|caption=parameter. lp0 on fire () 17:44, 18 June 2026 (UTC) - Trotsk6, thank you for asking, and lp0 on fire, thanks for responding...!
