I need to determine the edit/move protections on a page via the API (e.g., office, full, semi, pending-changes, etc).

I haven't been able to find an efficient way to do this on a per-page basis. Could I download the entire list of protected pages from the "Special:" function? Probably, but that seems like overkill for a quick task. West.andrew.g () 02:21, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Why aren't archive entries sorted chronologically? Shouldn't that be improved?--Hubon () 20:59, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello all, trying to find where we may have a write up for this: for certain moves users without the suppressredirect are still able (in some cases are FORCED) to suppress the creation of a redirect when moving pages. I found a related, non-resovled, phab ticket - but not documentation of which namespace->namespaces are having this behavior forced now. — xaosflux 19:04, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Anyone noticed that nbsps are being added to edits? Is this some new bug or a feature of Firefox under Ubuntu? ϢereChequers 08:49, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Look at my sandbox. I'm trying to make the nav box on the right either look minimally decent on mobile (i.e. not all messed up), or not appear at all on mobile. Either one would be fine with me. Is it really impossible? Karlpoppery () 05:23, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

This image File:Areas of insect wing.svg as used in this Good Article Insect_wing has a black artifact in the middle of it. The Original image does not, which suggests it may be a problem with the rendering software. Is this something that is known and if known is there a solution or does this require a "ahem" bug report?--S Philbrick 12:17, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
