I doubt the insult is directed at me, but it's still troubling to see. Anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with it? I could file an ANI report, but am not sure if it's overreacting. Banedon (talk) 11:53, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
Does anyone know of a script that'll somehow mark in an article edit history any accounts that have very few edits to any other article? It would be nice to be able to see at a glance which other editors have edited nothing/almost nothing else. —valereee (talk) 12:15, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Do users creating a page receive any warning that the page they are requesting has been deleted? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Recreation_of_previously_deleted_pages
Is there any way an editor can see that an article has previously been deleted? Can you query the deletion log to find breakdown by AfD reason? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/delete Can you tell how many articles a user has created and how many they have deleted?

Hello!
If I did understand correctly my reading of the FAQ for the merging of accounts in differents languages, the username that I don't plan to use need to be changed to the one I will use in the future. (Exemple: I change my French username to match the English one).
Thanks!

Is there a guide on using whitespace characters when editing Wikipedia? WP:WHITE isn't exactly what I'm looking for (that's about blank space). I'm looking for a guide that answers questions like "Is it appropriate to use character tabulations when editing Wikipedia; if yes, then where?". 85.76.140.34 (talk) 17:34, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

I thought I asked this question at the teahouse, but I can't seem to find it now and I don't think anyone provided me with an answer. I also asked this question at the wikiproject Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Podcasting#Categories_for_files. I'm just really confused why the Category:Podcast logos has a weird additional template and I was curious what the benefit was or why it's even worth doing. I want to figure out the best way to do it though before I start adding files to the category. TipsyElephant (talk) 00:48, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi - whenever I click on the Talk tab, I'm taken to the same page/talk entry, which is completely irrelevant to whatever Wikipedia page I'm actually on. For example, whether I look up 'information' 'horses', 'tree' or anything else as a main Wikepedia entry, then click Talk, I'm always taken to a comment about a page called Outback Truckers.

I always see references from paywalls like googlebooks and worldcat and I wonder how do people even get the books or articles. Do they pay? if not, how? I wanna contribute a lot but i cant find free resources. --Kurigo (talk) 08:39, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
|url=
except when you are citing information on a WorldCat web page (not citing the source to which the web page refers). Because WorldCat names libraries that hold the source, including the OCLC identifier from the url (for example, 1140644064 from https://www.worldcat.org/1140644064) in |oclc=
is good practice. Courtesy link: Draft:Hubert Gordon Thompson
Please help. Yesterday I had continued to make a lot of changes to my re-draft of: Draft:Hubert Gordon Thompson following it having been declined. Today the whole new draft has disappeared.

I already asked a variant of this question here last month, but this time I think the answer might be different. Basically, there's a category page about a certain subgenre with a subcategory link about a particular book series. However, certain books from that series, but not all of them, are also on the category page, along with a link to the series page itself. I feel like I should either add all of the books from that series to the category page, or remove them from that same page (including maybe the series page itself). Could anyone please tell me what the right course of action here is?--Thylacine24 (talk) 12:09, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
I can't seem to get to forms for REQUESTING AN EDIT, my moves for that seem to go in circles of help pages that don't help. So, I please seek your help to either make the change(s), or direct me to the proper page to request them. If possible for you to direct the request to the appropriate person or help desk, please do so.
I'd like Wikipedia to remove information From THREE (3) pages, in order to protect privacy and help prevent Identity theft from living individuals. The pages are all related family, parent, children, grandchildren. I hope listing them together makes more sense for everyone, and avoids confusion if separate requests were made.
On this page, under FAMILY, please remove the dates of birth for the five living children: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Paget,_7th_Marquess_of_Anglesey
Lady Henrietta Charlotte Eiluned Paget (b. 31 July 1949) Charles Alexander Vaughan Paget, 8th Marquess of Anglesey (b. 13 November 1950) Lady Elizabeth Sophia Rhiannon Paget (b. 14 May 1954) Lord Rupert Edward Llewellyn Paget (b. 21 July 1957) Lady Amelia Myfanwy Polly Paget (b. 12 September 1963)
Similarly, the following page is for the second child (above), and has similar issue, please remove dates and years of birth for the Marquess and his living children as noted below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Paget,_8th_Marquess_of_Anglesey
Charles Alexander Vaughan Paget, 8th Marquess of Anglesey (born 13 November 1950) Benedict Dashiel Thomas Paget, Earl of Uxbridge (b. 11 Apr 1986) Lady Clara Elizabeth Iris Paget (b. 1988), actress.
On this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Paget Please remove the date of birth from the first line: Lady Clara Elizabeth Iris Paget (born 12 September 1988) the information also appears in the BIOGRAPHY SECTION: Paget was born on 12 September 1988 It also appears on the right, under her Lady Clara's photograph.
Because she works in multiple countries on multiple continents, privacy laws vary, making protection more important. While other source material has this data, the most readily available and FREE SOURCE, is Wikipedia, so we'd like to begin here.
Just a bit of info on hackers/identity thieves: https://blog.drhack.net/privacy-birth-date-hackers-jackpot/
A professional hacker who has access to your birth-date can easily collect more information about you (including zip/post code, SS numbers and maiden's name) from these various sites and pile them up to cause you some serious damage. Such data can then be used to sign up for credit cards and even to apply for loans

I can't seem to find how to request that personal information be removed from a page. I seemingly find the FAQs, but the links seem to go in circles.
If possible, could you make the changes, or direct to the appropriate help desk to make the changes to this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquess_of_Anglesey#Marquesses_of_Anglesey_(1815)
For personal privacy and identity theft, please remove the date/year of birth for the LIVING Marquess and heir. It appears several times on the page:
Please remove the birth year from this SECTION: Family history, 1815–present The second to the last line lists his son Charles Alexander Vaughan Paget, 8th Marquess of Anglesey (born 1950).
Also from this section: Marquesses of Anglesey (1815) Charles Alexander Vaughan Paget, 8th Marquess of Anglesey (born 1950) (JUST REMOVE BIRTH YEAR) The heir apparent is the present holder's son, Benedict Dashiell Thomas Paget, Earl of Uxbridge (born 1986) (JUST REMOVE BIRTH YEAR)
While not a concern for deceased family members and the historical record, for living members, especially those living and working in multiple countries on multiple continents, the rest of identity theft is significant:
Why your birthdate is a jackpot for hackers and ID thieves:
Your birthday isn't the only dangerous thing to share; identity thieves can also make good use of details like your birthplace and mother's maiden name. And it's tough to avoid sharing these details online https://www.howtogeek.com/402929/why-its-dangerous-to-share-your-birthday-online/

Hi I do not know how to edit one of your pages. However, I do have a reference for a "citation needed" on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Frederick_Menninger
Menninger is honored together with William W. Mayo and their sons with a feast day on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA) on March 6.[citation needed]
This commemoration was in a trial revision of Lesser Feasts and Fasts, Holy Women, Holy Men published in 2010 (?) but did not make it into the final version published in 2018. https://www.amazon.com/Holy-Women-Men-Celebrating-Saints/dp/0898696372/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=ISBN+978-0-89869-637-0&qid=1615044690&s=books&sr=1-1 (page 260-261)
See here https://diobeth.typepad.com/files/holy-women-holy-men.pdf pp 260-261
Some still use the 2010 commemorations, notably the Mission St Claire https://www.missionstclare.com/english/index.html https://www.missionstclare.com/english/March/whole/morning/06m.html (page for March 6 2021)

Hello, all. So, I see it all the time in newcomer's drafts—mistakenly placing the punctuation after the reference rather than before. I'm sure you've probably encountered it yourself. I've kindly corrected it many a time, but have found it to be quite tedious, especially when the mistake is consistently strewn throughout the entire article. I was wondering if anyone knew of a script or any other method that could automatically do this or at least speed up the process (more than just using ctrl+f to search for them).
