explore making this change. They are not missing if they are not dead, so we should cater for both scenarios without confusing things. Only would be missing of the person is alive 130 years after death. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:43, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

DNB contributor template cleanup
Hi. I've been recently working on cleaning up the DNB contributor templates for ambiguous ones to match in line with existing similar ones. Can you please turn these into disambiguation pages similar to what's in Category:Dictionary of National Biography ambiguous contributor templates and disambiguate these with AWB? They're transcluded in so many pages, so they would require too many tabs to be opened if done manually.
- Template:DNB CM: ambiguous given Template:DNB CM Maclean
- Template:DNB EG: ambiguous given Template:DNB EG Green
- Template:DNB FR: ambiguous given Template:DNB FR Rogers
- Template:DNB GCB: ambiguous given Template:DNB GCB Bourne
- Template:DNB HMS: ambiguous given Template:DNB HMS Spooner
- Template:DNB JAH: ambiguous given Template:DNB JAH Herbert
- Template:DNB JHL: ambiguous given Template:DNB JHL Longford
- Template:DNB AM: redundant to Template:DNB AM Miller. but Template:DNB AM Mackie exists.
- Template:DNB JH: redundant to Template:DNB JH Humphreys, but Template:DNB JH Hooper exists.
- Template:DNB TS: redundant to Template:DNB TS Seccombe, but Template:DNB TS Sinclair exists.
During the cleanup, I also ran into Template:DNB AH Hartshorne, which seems to have been created in error since none of the DNB contributor lists attach Albert Hartshorne to any initial but "A.H-e." Making it a redirect to Template:DNB AH-e would be misleading because "A.H." was never used for his work on the DNB, so I might consider it for deletion. ミラP@Miraclepine 03:03, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Miraclepine: Please leave them for the moment as I am talking about Xover about a better way to deal with these. The current situation is ugly, and it is just getting more complex and unsustainable. — billinghurst sDrewth 03:30, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. I've subscribed to the conversation on Xover's talk page for further developments in the meanwhile. ミラP@Miraclepine 04:29, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Author:Robert Edward AndersonLondon 1880sAuthor:John Gibson (d. 1887)Scottish scientistAuthor:Herbert RixAuthor:John StephenEB9- Author:Montagu Browne or is it Alexander Montagu Browne
- Author:Algernon Blackwood continue moving works to subpages of parents
- ponder St. Nicholas pages, have edited by through subpages, not just volumes, and the illustrators have been added as related_authors; definitely needs work, apply
{{default layout|Layout 2}}
to the pages, and remove the css code that sets a max-width - {{al}} set this up so it substitutes automatically,
then clean up - {{pol}} set this up so it substitutes automatically,
then clean up - Translations from Camoens; and Other Poets, with Original Poetry needs a AuxToC built, and contributor components rather than authors, maybe also use override_translator rather than translator for cleanliness
- Works to consider
- find the best ocr of https://archive.org/search?query=Peasant+Proprietorship
- Think about "redirects here" for disambig pages (The ..., The ...s, A ..., ...s)
- DNB contributor => 1st supplement separation from 1885-1900, and each their own? also remove {{sc}} from usages
- bring over my /archive/ edit filters from metawiki
- more work to do on Index:Notes on the churches in the counties of Kent, Sussex, and Surrey.djvu/styles.css and template:hussey Churches table header related pages
- EB9 contributor => {{contributed to}}, will need noinit variable, and also formatting internal
- transcribe obit noted at Author talk:William Prideaux Courtney
- transcribe obit noted at Author talk:Israel Davis
DNB contributor
- DNB contributor
- DNB contributor 2ndSupp
- DNB contributor 3rdSupp
- need to ensure that all data is present on author pages
- push "contributor to creative work" / "biographer" / "initials"
- construct the QS components (see if we can do anything with harvest tool first)
Petscan / QS pushes
- Category:Ornithologists as authors needs push in, then tidy up
— billinghurst sDrewth 23:49, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
Sep 2023 to do
- Template:ShowTransclude
- Look to convert this template to instead utilise <ref follow=...>
- Fix ToC Page:Horses and roads.djvu/11++ to use css
- double transclusion of same index: The Haughs of Crumdel / Haughs of Crumdel (2) => shuffling, editing and deletions required

Tech News: 2024-11
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar). [1][2]
- After consulting with various communities, the line height of the text on the Minerva skin will be increased to its previous value of 1.65. Different options for typography can also be set using the options in the menu, as needed. [3]
- The active link color in Minerva will be changed to provide more consistency with our other platforms and best practices. [4]
- Structured data on Commons will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost. [5]
Future changes
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [6][7]
