:Hello @[[User:Nayyn|Nayyn]]; there was a clear consensus at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 June 11#Category:Wesley L.

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/23|Translations]] are available. |

'''Recent changes''' |
|||
Hi Queen of Hearts. After reviewing your request, I have <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AQueen_of_Hearts enabled]</span> rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback: |
|||
* It is now possible for local administrators to add new links to the bottom of the site Tools menu without JavaScript. [[mw:Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Add or remove toolbox sections|Documentation is available]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T6086] |
|||
*Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing [[Wikipedia:Twinkle|Twinkle]] or [[Wikipedia:Ultraviolet|Ultraviolet]]. It just adds a ''[Rollback]'' button next to a page's latest live revision - ''that's all''. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you. |
|||
* The message name for the definition of the tracking category of WikiHiero has changed from "<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>MediaWiki:Wikhiero-usage-tracking-category</code></bdi>" to "<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>MediaWiki:Wikihiero-usage-tracking-category</code></bdi>". [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/wikihiero/+/1035855] |
|||
*Rollback should be used to revert ''clear and unambiguous cases'' of vandalism <ins>only</ins>. ''Never'' use rollback to revert good faith edits. |
|||
* One new wiki has been created: a {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia}} in [[d:Q5317225|Kadazandusun]] ([[w:dtp:|<code>w:dtp:</code>]]) [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T365220] |
|||
*Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked. |
|||
*Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, '''''ask!''''' |
|||
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see [[Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback]] (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my [[User talk:DanCherek|talk page]] if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! [[User:DanCherek|DanCherek]] ([[User talk:DanCherek|talk]]) 23:53, 28 June 2024 (UTC) |
|||

'''Changes later this week''' |
|||
* [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item]] The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.43/wmf.8|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-04|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-05|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2024-06-06|en}} ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.43/Roadmap|calendar]]).

|||
'''Future changes''' |
|||
* Next week, on wikis with the Vector 2022 skin as the default, logged-out desktop users will be able to choose between different font sizes. The default font size will also be increased for them. This is to make Wikimedia projects easier to read. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-06 deployments|Learn more]]. |

:I nominate Queen of Hearts to be Editor of the Week for their endless wikignoming and collaborative nature.

== Why did you return deleted insulting text? == |
||
Disgracefull for wikipedia is to allow opposite political party members to arrange article text about living person, trying to insult her. Fact is that reference list and complete text, was written by member of the Tomislav Tomasevic political party "Mozemo" with only target to spread hate, discredit living person, discredit her family and it is requred to be deleted completly, because it is written without her permission. |

Deletion of Wesley L. McDonald Distinguished Statesman and Stateswoman of Aviation Award
Hello can you share with me why this category was deleted ? Thank you Nayyn (talk) 13:49, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Nayyn; there was a clear consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 June 11#Category:Wesley L. McDonald Distinguished Statesman and Stateswoman of Aviation Award that the category should be deleted. Cheers, Queen of Hearts talk 01:09, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Didn't see yours...

Rollback granted
Hi Queen of Hearts. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:
- Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
- Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! DanCherek (talk) 23:53, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Wow, quick turnaround. Bremps... 06:50, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Discord
Hey QoH, I went for a bathroom break to find that I accidentally unjoined the Discord (probably, or was kicked, something). Rejoin link does not work. Are you having any similar issues or is it just me? Bremps... 06:49, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Bremps, just you; all works fine for me. Queen of Hearts talk 07:05, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Could you generate a new invite and send it, please? The public one is broken for me. Thanks. Bremps... 07:13, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Bremps: doesn't look like the server lets people generate new invites. I'm off to bed; WT:Discord is probably a better place to ask for help. Cheers, Queen of Hearts talk 07:31, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Why did you return deleted insulting text?
Disgracefull for wikipedia is to allow opposite political party members to arrange article text about living person, trying to insult her. Fact is that reference list and complete text, was written by member of the Tomislav Tomasevic political party "Mozemo" with only target to spread hate, discredit living person, discredit her family and it is requred to be deleted completly, because it is written without her permission.
