Hi. Why wikidata changes are now not represented in my watchlist? I tried to play with preferences, checked out they are not hidden, but still doesn't work. Hugo.arg (talk) 18:00, 16 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Hugo.arg, there was a change where language link changes were removed from Recent Changes and Watchlists (please see Proposal: Language link changes and Remove language link changes for full information. Please write to us at the dedicated Project Talk page and we can help you further.

Our change should only affect instances of (Language link added, removed or changed:) to your watchlisted items. Other types of Wikidata edit should be unaffected, but if you believe this isn't so, we would like to hear from you and help you.

Hello, I am the proposer of Wikimuseum, and I am looking for a MediaWiki specialist to help me manage the platform's extensions, features, and namespaces, so that I can subsequently submit a clear request on Phabricator.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm developing Tourism Mapper, a Wikimedia Toolforge application that helps contributors document Nigerian tourist sites by uploading photographs to Wikimedia Commons and creating or updating Wikidata items.

OAuth authentication and Commons uploads are working. However, when the application attempts to set labels and descriptions on Wikidata items using wbeditentity, the API returns permissiondenied.

My existing approved OAuth 1.0a consumer has these grants:

• Create, edit, and move pages
• Upload new files

It appears to be missing the Edit existing pages (editpage) grant. I checked the consumer's update form, but I couldn't find an option to modify the applicable grants.

Could someone advise whether this grant can be added to an existing approved consumer, or whether I need to register a new consumer with the required grants?

I would prefer to retain the existing consumer because its credentials are already configured in the deployed Toolforge application.

Consumer registration: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration/update/64ea9b0279c531c511aa2ea26b66a2b4

Thank you for your help. JosefAnthony (talk) 07:21, 24 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi @JosefAnthony, it's not possible to modify consumer grants now. You have to register a new consumer. – Ammarpad (talk) 08:32, 24 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Ammarpad, I registered a new OAuth consumer, Tourism Mapper [1.2], as advised, but its status is still Proposed. Is there anything else I need to do, or should I simply wait for it to be approved? Thank you. JosefAnthony (talk) 08:51, 27 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it requires approval. You can post an additional manual request at Steward requests/Miscellaneous#OAuth permissions. You will likely get a faster response there. – Ammarpad (talk) 22:09, 28 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I previously submitted a request regarding this same issue on Phabricator, but I was directed here. Unfortunately, we don't have any active interface administrators on the Kazakh Wikipedia, so I'd like to ask for some help here from "international" colleagues.

To review the case, please follow the link and read it on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T440097

Thanks! -- Nurtenge (talk) 20:00, 1 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

Try doing this. You need to have someone with interface administrator right. Bureaucracts can give it; create local rules to do it. You can ask for help steward or global interface admins too. Wargo (talk) 02:00, 2 November 2026 (UTC)Reply
