New CAPTCHA on signup page

We've switched the CAPTCHA on Special:CreateAccount from hCaptcha to Cloudflare Turnstile, which does a better job of keeping out bots. [1] Please let one of the administrators or sysadmins know if you run into any problems creating an account. – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 22:59, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

New tools for wiki discussions

The operations team has installed the DiscussionTools extension. [2] This extension adds a number of little features to make discussions on this wiki much more intuitive:

• Start a new topic without leaving the talk page. A live preview shows you what you're about to post. The editor automatically signs your comment for you, so there's no need to correct others' comments with {{Unsigned}} anymore.
• Reply to a comment inline without leaving the talk page. The editor automatically figures out the correct level of indentation and alerts you if someone else has replied in the meantime. Find other participants to ping by typing @.
• Subscribe for notifications when someone comments on a section of a talk page. You no longer have to put the whole talk page and its article on your watchlist just to follow a specific discussion. A signature automatically becomes a permalink to an individual comment.

All these features work in the mobile skin and with the visual editor. If you prefer to talk the old-fashioned away, you can still click "edit source" like normal. DiscussionTools manipulates ordinary wikitext, so it may fail to hook into the page in some situations. The extension also comes with some special markup for enabling or disabling the features on a specific page. For example, some talk pages are "frozen" for historical reference only, while some pages in other namespaces like Proposal: have effectively turned into talk pages.

With the introduction of DiscussionTools, we're retiring the Convenient Discussions gadget that served as a stopgap, effective immediately. Although Convenient Discussions has many more features for power users, a recent security incident had us reconsider the decision to install it globally. If you prefer Convenient Discussions, you can still install it as a personal user script.

Incomplete display

Why only office=diplomatic + diplomatic=embassy is shown on banner on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:diplomatic%3Ddelegation ?

Template parameter has full office=diplomatic + diplomatic=embassy + embassy=delegation

Template:Turn_into_tag_link is limited to 2 args delimited by a single plus.

It's used Template:Deprecated_feature on line 27, wrapping the three mentioned tags. I don't know how it fares with the already "converted" tag-link format, seems redundant to me.

Maybe Template:Tag could do something intelligent which the turn tag into link template can use to disable itself? That's too advanced for me now.

I've simply substituted the + with + on that page as alternative – it's different, and not matched, thus remains, and the entite argument-string is kept.

That's kind of a hack though. And I think shouldn't be used in article namespace, nor be necessary for something like this.

Now, you do not need to replace the + with + anymore. – The Template:Turn_into_tag_link should be updated or replaced by a lua module that is capable of handling all of the variations. Maybe I'll give it a try. Help is welcome! -- Chris2map (talk) 22:57, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Just created Module:Turn into tag link to lift the restrictions of only 2 tags and the need of "+". Please tell if you encounter any (new) issue. --Chris2map (talk) 17:50, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
