[11:30:37] Wikipedia could however deal with users who spread such footnotes, if they have a specific structure [15:19:29] Which makes it no real different to any other vandalism [15:27:42] I am driving, text you later. [16:56:19] Or rather, they use the popularity of Wikipedia to make their headline more attention-grabby. (re @djhartman: so... slack problem, not really wikipedia specific, but they use the inherent trust in wikipedia links, to entice people to clic...) [17:01:02] Basically they say that if you have an article like "Blah blah evil....Com blah blah" then Slack will try to strip the reference but mess it up and also strip the whitespace afterwards, and ends up with evil.com being linked and clickable. Hard to detect on the Wikipedia side.

The first language community meeting is coming up on *November 17th, 16:00 UTC*. [21:54:57] [21:54:59] You can sign up on this wiki page: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Language_engineering/Community_meetings [21:55:00] [21:55:02] This meeting is for contributors involved in creating content or managing technical aspects across different language communities. This will be a participant-driven meeting where we collectively discuss specific technical issues related to our language wikis and work together to find possible solutions (e.g., fixing a broken template on the Kurdish wiki, brainstorming ideas for g [21:55:03] rowing content on the Tulu Wiktionary, celebrating the creation of Fon Wikipedia, using MinT for content translation, etc.). [21:55:05] [21:55:06] You can view the meeting structure and add ideas for discussion to the notes document linked from the wiki page. If you need interpretation support from English to another language, you can send me a direct message on Telegram. Thank you!
