I think something may have broken somewhere... - jc37 11:18, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi @ Qwerfjkl: How goes it? There seems to be something up with your bot. I've noticed in the last few days it seems to be missed the correct or standard wikiproject banners. For example on the MV Kota Pinang its fired up the WikiProject Transport banner, instead it should be Ships, Military History and Germany . One the Scottish lochs it put up Talk:Loch a' Mhadail. I think here propers were Lakes and Scotland. There was 2nd one but I've forgotten what it is. Its the same on the bays article. Its seems to be the wrong banner, although there may be a change of focus. scope creep Talk 05:53, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello
I saw your bot adds WikiProjects to talk pages. At handball articles the bots add the Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports template but more accurate would be Wikipedia:WikiProject Handball. Could you please add the Handball banner instead of the Sports banner add at sites which are part off Category:Handball.
Is it possible to check if all pages under Category:Handball have the handball banner and if not (Even if they have another banner) add the handball banner?
Thank you for your work. 🤾♂️ Malo95 ( talk) 13:10, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to the twenty-seventh newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
We shared our annual plan, for the period July 2023 - June 2024.
Our first project of the year will be Community configuration 2.0, which helps editors with extended rights transparently and easily configure important on-wiki functionality.
After we finish work on Community configuration 2.0, we will hope to fit in one of the following projects:
Please let us know what you think about these projects on the related talk page, or Growth's annual plan talk page.
We released a new Section-level “add an image” structured task to Growth pilot wikis (Arabic, Bengali, Czech, and Spanish). This task was part of the Structured Data Across Wikipedia project. We are monitoring the edits made, and we look for community feedback as well.
Suggested Edits are now receiving topic predictions via the new Language-Agnostic Topic Classification. This change affects non-English Wikipedia wikis. It will ensure newcomers receive a greater diversity of task recommendations. Before, as this feature was a test, English Wikipedia was used to select topics. The change is gradual as lists of topics are refreshed when they become empty. The Research team will evaluate the impact in a few months. [8]
Starting on August 1, a new set of Wikipedias will get " Add a link": Georgian Wikipedia, Kara-Kalpak Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Kabardian Wikipedia, Kabiyè Wikipedia, Kikuyu Wikipedia, Kazakh Wikipedia, Khmer Wikipedia, Kannada Wikipedia, Kashmiri Wikipedia, Colognian Wikipedia, Kurdish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia, Cornish Wikipedia.
The Growth team provides dedicated features to establish a mentorship program for newcomers. Every newcomer gets a volunteer mentor who provides encouragement and answers questions. Communities can set up or join this mentorship system by visiting Special:ManageMentors. This mentorship system is configurable by the community at Special:EditGrowthConfig.
More communities have implemented mentorship. A Wikimedia Foundation data scientist will be looking at the impact of Mentorship. We will look at the impact on Spanish and English Wikipedia. [9]
The Growth team will also host a Mentoring new editors on Wikipedia session at Wikimania 2023 in Singapore. Workshop attendees will help brainstorm improvements to Growth’s mentorship features.
We will share more complete experiment analysis for all the three parts of the Positive reinforcement project soon. At the moment, the new Impact module, Leveling up, and Personalized praise are still being A/B tested on the Growth team's pilot wikis.
In the meantime, initial leading indicators for the Personalized praise project have been published. Although this is still a relatively small sample, results seem healthy. They show that Mentors are indeed receiving notifications and clicking through to view their praise-worthy mentees.
The Growth team is currently focusing on IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation. It is a project that touches many different Wikimedia Foundation teams. The Growth team will focus on temporary accounts through two main points:
We are still in the early planning stage of the Community Configuration 2.0 project:

Please how can I start the editing wikipedia -- AYIBAGBALINYO GIFT ( talk) 11:14, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
I know, you weren't even on English Wikipedia back then. But I was wondering if you know a way to find out how this happened: 23:40, 7 May 2006 InShaneee talk contribs deleted page Category:Forza Italia politicians (...). I would like to know if this was an out-of-process deletion (perhaps due to being emptied out of process and thus deleted per WP:C1), or if there had been a regular discussion at WP:CFD between 22 April 2006 and 7 May 2006 that I somehow missed. It is the final piece of evidence I need to reconstruct the case study User:Nederlandse Leeuw/Emptying categories out of process#Forza Italia politicians. If you don't know a way to find out, it's okay. I'm just asking you because you know a lot about these procedures (although they were sometimes quite different back in 2006). Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk) 11:36, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
content was: '{{db|Duplicated by Category:Members of Forza Italia.}}Forza ItaliaFor...'
i.e. it was tagged for deletion with {{
db}}. Empty categories (no articles or subcategories for at least four days) whose only content has consisted of links to parent categories. This does NOT apply to categories being discussed on WP:CFD. If the category isn't relatively new, it possibly contained articles earlier, and deeper investigation is needed.
Author requests deletion. Any page for which deletion is requested by the original author, provided the page's only substantial content was added by its author and was mistakenly created.Dahn was probably the creator (on 4 April 2006), has also been identified as the only contributor (and the only contributor was 'Special:Contributions/Dahn) by the deleter InShaneee, and requested the deletion due to "mistakenly creating" it as a "duplicate" of Category:Members of Forza Italia.

Hello, Qwerfjkl,
I'm trying to find the CFD discussion for Category:People from the Kingdom of Ireland. On 7/20/23, you relisted the discussion but it's not on the CFD 7/20/23 discussion page. I did a search for the category on the main CFD page and no discussion popped up. Could you have forgotten to repost the discussion when it was relisted? Was this a problem with the relisting script? Can you revive the discussion and place it on today's CFD page so it could get resolved in some way? Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 22:16, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
