The New topic tool helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages. New editors are more successful with this new tool. You can read the report. Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis. You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default. You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.
The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles. You can see some ideas at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project#Prototype Ready for Feedback.

Hello, Qwerfjkl,
I'm uncertain about "moving" a category as the contents of the original category haven't been moved over yet. It's been sitting in a CSD category for a few hours now and I recommend contacting an admin who patrols CFD, like Fayenatic london, to handle this category. They do tricky category moves and sometimes it is faster to contact an experienced admin directly and request their help.
Also, Category:Cable game shows isn't empty yet so deleting this page would leave the pages it contains with red links which, according to WP:REDNO, has to be avoided. Once a category is emptied, I feel free to carry on with a CSD request. I've noticed that many admins who regularly patrol CSD categories avoid dealing with categories that have been tagged for deletion, even ones that are the result of a valid CFD close to "Delete". Just an observation. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 23:16, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
the contents of the original category haven't been moved over yet; I moved the entire contents of Category:Anglican churches in British ColumbiatoCategory:Anglican church buildings in British Columbia. All that needs to be done is delete Category:Anglican church buildings in British Columbia (as a recently-created category) and move Category:Anglican churches in British Columbia (from 2009) in its place. ― Qwerfjkltalk 06:10, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
how do i delete everything??????????? --Harrison bread (talk) 02:11, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Instead of tagging, why not fix. It is not that hard. Cheers, Boghog (talk) 17:27, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
Hey! Your bot's Task 10 (converting source to syntaxhighlight), understandably, missed a lot of .js and .css pages due to protection. However, I've noticed that quite a lot of the remaining pages have no visible reason for not being edited. They also all seem to be related to documentation of js pages or of source code (E.g. 1 2 3 4 5). Is there any reason these pages seem to have been heavily excluded from Task 10?

{{#tag:source}}
); I ran it on the category. I could always re-run it. ― Qwerfjkltalk 17:15, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
{{#tag:source}}
. If its fine according to the bot rules, then I think a rerun with #tag
could help clear out the last of the fixable (I'm not gonna try clear the category further than that, I don't think an interface admin would be happy to wake up to 400 edit requests ). Aidan9382 (talk) 17:25, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashley Gjøvik until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Hey! Do you think you could double check what you have it set to make the redirects have? They have a large amount of spacing before the templates for no seemingly good reason (E.g. here). Thanks. Aidan9382 (talk) 16:06, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

-- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 00:36, 17 June 2022 (UTC)(I washed my hands before typing this, so you should be safe.) I saw this edit where you added a {{Bare URL PDF}} to a talk page. I don't think that's right because 1) why mess with talk pages and 2) it adds the page to a category that says it's an article. Does that make sense to you?
