Newlines in strings
Hi everyone! I'm mainly translating functions to german right now, but I'm also interested in maintaining functions. When defining tests for Is Portable Game Notation, I wasn't able to add an input containing newlines. Strings should be able to support this, so is this just an interface issue?

- From phab:T343643, it would appear to be an interface issue, and fixing this is not a current priority. GrounderUK (talk) 22:13, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Good, sounds like it's not a big deal then. Since the format isn't whitespace-sensitive anyway I was able to create a few tests. Jummit (talk) 07:46, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
refresh Main page functions to try out
I suggest we switch up some of our "functions to try out". See discussion and add suggestions here: Wikifunctions_talk:Main_Page. --99of9 (talk) 02:57, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Editing issue
I made this edit, which was undone a few seconds later, seemingly by myself. When I tried to redo the edit, i got this error message. --Autom (talk) 16:12, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Autom: Hi there, this is odd; it might be related to a production issue we had last week. Have you had it happen further? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 13:50, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- I still get the "User does not have permission to edit" error. --Autom (talk) 11:18, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Call for calendar month proposals!
Hi all!
We recently released the Gregorian calendar months. We want to follow with other calendar systems rather quickly. It would be great if folks could create Type proposals for that. I don't want to start making calendar months for calendars I am not familiar with. Here is the Type proposal for Gregorian calendar month, feel free to use this as a template for the other ones.
If you need any help or have questions, please reach out and feel free to ask. Thank you! -- DVrandecic (WMF) (talk) 00:02, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- In that context, can I also encourage consideration of this type proposal Wikifunctions:Type proposals/configuration of functions for given types which would help to harness similar functions for closely related types. (e.g. calling a "next month" function on any type of month.) --99of9 (talk) 03:43, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Good idea. Although it refers to “given types”, I think it could be easily extended to include “given identities” (which could also extend to “given languages”). I think we would still need to improve the orchestration approach to make it selective, as outlined in my comments on the proposal. Perhaps we should raise a Feature Request for this on Phabricator?
