Your DRs on interiors of Swiss Churches[edit]
Hi!
I've seen that you created many deletion requests on the interior of Swiss churches. Please slow this process down until at least some of those DRs have been decided, so we're not needlessly binding resources. The sentence "Following the majority view in the legal literature, freedom of panorama does not apply to interior spaces" on Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Switzerland is not legaly binding and, given the fact that even there opposing views are quoted, this is not certain. It would be best if you could quote a recent federal court decision on the matter to clarify the meaning of the law. PaterMcFly (talk) 11:26, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- I have nominated several interiors and artworks of authors alive for deletion and until now the very vast majority was successful. So I believed my rational seems to work. Only recently some concerns come. Surprisingly for rather new buildings. On churches you also forget It is generally held that the interior of a church cannot be depicted under Article 27.
- But I can follow your concern that we'd be binding to many forces and I won't nominate new ones until some are decided. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 11:49, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. That's what I meant: I am unaware of a court decision on this subject, so there's no clear indication on how "public place" is to be interpreted. And there are countries where FOP applies to indoor as well (eg. UK, Austria), so even in Europe there's no common understanding of this term. PaterMcFly (talk) 11:00, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, but I have found a book that says otherwise. Any works in interior spaces are not within FoP also if they are accessible to the public.[1]p.158. I believe it is a good book, its of a law publisher and the book focuses on Swiss Cultural law. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 13:47, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Tech News: 2023-44[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.
Recent changes
- The Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving UploadWizard on Commons, made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work (T347590), as well as to the licensing step for own work (T347756).
- The Design Systems team has released version 1.0.0 of Codex, the new design system for Wikimedia. See the full announcement about the release of Codex 1.0.0.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
- Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [2][3]
- Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [4]
Future changes
- There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
- The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.

/await
syntax in gadgets and user scripts. Gadget authors should remember that users' browsers may not support it, so it should be used appropriately. [7] - The deployment of "Add a link" announced last week was postponed. It will resume this week.

Files of TBMM speeches[edit]
Hi Zafer, I believe all files you removed from the Turkish WP are already nominated for deletion, but no-one deletes them. Some were also uploaded by me, but I came to the conclusion that files of TBMM speeches are not free enough for commons. They'd be free to reuse for means of information, but not for artistic or satiric means. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 20:35, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Paradise Chronicle, i am working many years about copyrights law in Turkey, unfortunately TBMM videos or photos are not freely use. Regards, Zafer (talk) 20:39, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

FOP category[edit]
Thanks for your work on categorizing FOP related DRs. However, please remember to add <noinclude></noinclude> so that the daily DR page would not appear in the corresponding FOP category. Have a nice day. A1Cafel (talk) 15:52, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hey @A1Cafel, yeah I have been trying to help. But why do we need to add the <noinclude></noinclude>? And if we have to add it, is there a category where the <noinclude></noinclude> already included? 18:01, 28 December 2023 (UTC)18:01, 28 December 2023 (UTC)~ Paradise Chronicle (talk) 18:01, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- I have mentioned before, adding <noinclude></noinclude> is to avoid double counting of the number of DRs in the maintenance category. Apart from {{Nsdr}}, all the other categories need <noinclude></noinclude>, thanks. --A1Cafel (talk) 03:35, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- I am not sure I was told so before, but ok, got it. All categories need non include except {{Nsdr}}. I am used to work with visual mode and the hot cat gadget, and then only the normal categories appear. How about creating a {{Hiddencat}} or similar for FOP cases where the is already a part of it? Paradise Chronicle (talk) 04:42, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- I have begun a discussion about if there is a way how to add the category in one go with hot cat at the Village Pump. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 05:32, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

- Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the
requiresES6
option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future. [27] - Bot passwords and owner-only OAuth consumers can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages. [28]

- Starting on January 17, it will not be possible to login to Wikimedia wikis from some specific old versions of the Chrome browser (versions 51–66, released between 2016 and 2018). Additionally, users of iOS 12, or Safari on Mac OS 10.14, may need to login to each wiki separately. [32]
- The
jquery.cookie
module was deprecated and replaced with themediawiki.cookie
module last year. A script has now been run to replace any remaining uses, and this week the temporary alias will be removed. [33]
