Just to confirm my understanding of the situation: graphs are still broken after a whole year, with no replacement whatsoever, and no plan for implementing one?

Can local interface admins edit gadget pages now, or is this still a pending item?

This has been happening to me on the English Wikipedia. I use Firefox on Android. This started happening a few days ago. I will post here what I posted on the Village Pump.

Completely talking out of my whatever here, so tell me if this is stupid (it probably is) but is there a way to detect if page titles render with a pixel width of zero? Or, possibly, to iterate over all Unicode points, see which are rendered with a pixel width of zero in [whatever environment], and specify to render those as a period or a tofu box or something (or add them to the default title blacklist)?

It should be noted that this is one of the two deprecated characters in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_(Unicode_block) (U+17B4 and U+17B5), which on that article renders as tofu, but I guess the characters themselves render as nothing.

Is this still a problem?

Going to post about this here since, although I solved the problem myself, this was what came up when I searched for it, so maybe other people will be here scratching their heads:

This would seem to, in general, militate against the wisdom of implementing a spam URL blacklist as a magical totem that prevents *anybody* (including EC, including TE, including sysops) from editing the page.

This happened with the Signpost today (details here). It seems that a good number of people were given double issues from the global MassMessage list on Meta. This is not user error, as the message was only requested once. For example, two successive edits to the same user talk page both cite the exact same revid (https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global_message_delivery/Targets/Signpost&oldid=24726786). I have repaired the duplicates via manual reverts, of which there were approximately 250. Most of these were from the local distribution list, but about a dozen were from the global distribution list; curiously, the doubled messages seem to be a couple hours apart.

I have spelunked through the Signpost omni-index (which I also set up, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Omni-index ) and cleared out (almost) all the bullshit. By my count, there were nearly a thousand pages, ranging from obsolete never-used redirects, to pagemove detritus from publishing errors, to templates that were created and never actually written, to deprecated templates with literally a single transclusion. They are all gone now: I am in the process of documenting what's going on at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Technical
This is now possible: WegweiserBot (running https://github.com/jp-x-g/wegweiser ) has refactored all of the old modules to include author information, and me and Mr. Stradivarius have updated the module to allow for sorting by author. This means that it is now possible to generate byline pages for individual authors:
