Responsehelper bug
[edit]Hi! Any idea why responsehelper doesn't appear for me on WP:RFPP pages? I have it installed but cannot see any buttons or use it in any way that I can tell. I use Vector legacy. Is this a known bug? Thanks! —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:58, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Ganesha811 Are you editing a section? We don't yet have this script working outside of edit mode. I am at the Wikimedia Hackathon 2025 right now and am told it is now possible to integrate with DiscussionTools! So you will hopefully soon be able to use responseHelper without first clicking "edit". — MusikAnimal talk 09:34, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hmm... not sure what you mean by "edit mode" here - I can't see anything when I look at the page as a whole, the transcluded subpages, or after I click "Edit source" and am viewing the source on either the main RfPP page or the subpages. I also can't see anything come up when I click "edit" next to an individual request. On the other hand, great news! Hope the hackathon is good - don't worry about this bug for me too much, clearly the script works for most people. —Ganesha811 (talk) 11:05, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-19
[edit]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 Wikimedia Foundation has shared the latest draft update to their annual plan for next year (July 2025–June 2026). This includes an executive summary (also on Diff), details about the three main goals (Infrastructure, Volunteer Support, and Effectiveness), global trends, and the budget and financial model. Feedback and questions are welcome on the talk page until the end of May.
Updates for editors
- For wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled, two new feature improvements have been released:
- Admins can now choose which namespaces are permitted for Event Registration via Community Configuration (documentation). The default setup is for event registration to be permitted in the Event namespace, but other namespaces (such as the project namespace or WikiProject namespace) can now be added. With this change, communities like WikiProjects can now more easily use Event Registration for their collaborative activities.
- Editors can now transclude the Collaboration List on a wiki page (documentation). The Collaboration List is an automated list of events and WikiProjects on the wikis, accessed via Special:AllEvents (example). Now, the Collaboration List can be added to all sorts of wiki pages, such as: a wiki mainpage, a WikiProject page, an affiliate page, an event page, or even a user page.
View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Updates for technical contributors
- Developers who use the
momentlibrary in gadgets and user scripts should revise their code to use alternatives like theIntllibrary or the newmediawiki.DateFormatterlibrary. Themomentlibrary has been deprecated and will begin to log messages in the developer console. You can see a global search for current uses, and ask related questions in this Phabricator task. - Developers who maintain a tool that queries the Wikidata term store tables (
wbt_*) need to update their code to connect to a separate database cluster. These tables are being split into a separate database cluster. Tools that query those tables via the wiki replicas must be adapted to connect to the new cluster instead. Documentation and related links are available. [1] - Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
In depth
- The latest Chart Project newsletter is available. It includes updates on preparing to expand the deployment to additional wikis as soon as this week (starting May 6) and scaling up over the following weeks, plus exploring filtering and transforming source data.

Administrators' newsletter – May 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2025).
Administrator changes
Rusalkii
NaomiAmethyst (overlooked last month)
Interface administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
MusikBot prematurely archived rollback request
[edit]Hi MusikAnimal,
I hope you're well. I’d like to bring to your attention a possible issue with MusikBot at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback.
I submitted a rollback request on 7 May 2025, but it seems the bot archived it without any admin response. I’ve been advised to notify you, as this might be an unintentional behavior.
Could you kindly look into whether this was expected behavior, or if an adjustment to the archiving logic might be needed?
Thanks for your time and work maintaining the bot!
