The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Please take heed of WP:PROFRINGE. Propaganda for creationism does not belong inside Wikipedia. Tgeorgescu (talk) 13:15, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would you please give me a break, Tgeorgescu! I explicitly wrote that I do NOT contest the claims, but am merely requesting a citation! In fact, I have spent much time and energy arguing AGAINST the pseudoscientific claims of young earth creationism in various fora, so why don't you just supply the quotation instead of slandering me for pointing out the lack of one?

Hello, I'm Veverve. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Papal selection before 1059 seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Veverve (talk) 20:02, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's no special notification that will pop up to inform you that you're trying to use a category that doesn't exist, no, but there are still other steps you can take:
So there's no magic popup, but there are still lots of things you can do to ensure that you're only adding existing categories. Hopefully one of those will be convenient for you. Bearcat (talk) 16:04, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of placing an {{according to whom}} tag on Lothair II of Italy, you might check his wife Adelaide of Italy article. If there are no sources to support "the spirited and intelligent", then I'd remove it from Lothair II's article. --Kansas Bear (talk) 17:41, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
