Around a year ago, I redirected my userpage to my talk page, according to WP:UP , to get rid of the red font that my username would appear in every time I made an edit. However, I discovered today the joy of user boxes and am interested in making a userpage. I can't seem to figure out how to un-redirect my userpage to my talk page, however. So, I searched up active admins and your username popped out the most to me so I'm here asking you this question. Thanks! InfiniteSword ( talk) 04:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Done. Happy editing!

- Thanks! Just out of curiosity, how did you end up doing it? Also, is there a way to change it so that only autoconfirmed users can edit the page? You know, to avoid vandalism and stuff.

- When you open a page that’s been redirected, there’s a line right under “From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia” that says “(Redirected from such-and-such)”. Click on the such-and-such link and it will let you edit the page and replace the #REDIRECT with whatever you like.

- Oh, and per
WP:UPROT, user pages are automatically protected from editing by unconfirmed accounts and IP editors. That should be sufficient for now, but let me know if you run into any problems with vandalism and we can bump up the protection if needed.

- Last question (hopefully), is there a way to edit my user page with the visual editor instead of the source editor? It's much harder for me to edit using the source editor, since I don't really know where to put brackets and curly braces and such.

- Yes, you should be able to use the Visual Editor to edit your user page.
WP:VisualEditor should give you the information you need to enable it.

- Sorry, I read the page but couldn't figure out how to enable the visual editor for my user page. Also, is there a way to redirect my user page on the Spanish Wiki to the English One?

- As far as I’m aware, you can’t do cross-wiki redirects. You’d just have to use a regular link. As for VisualEditor, I haven’t used it in many years, so unfortunately I’m probably not the best person to help troubleshoot it. The WP:Help desk might be able to better assist. 28bytes ( talk) 03:15, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Today we have a centenarian story (documentation about it by Percy Adlon) and an article that had two sentences yesterday and was up for deletion, and needs a few more citations. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:46, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Today is a feast day for which Bach composed a chorale cantata in 1724 (and we had a DYK about it in 2012). Can't believe that Jodie Devos had to die, - don't miss her video from the Opéra-Comique at the end, - story to come. The weekend brought plenty of music sung and listened to, and some of it is reflected in the last two stories! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 13:51, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Pictured on the Main page: Brian's Mozart family grand tour, my story today, and Mozart related to all three items of music on my talk: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, Martti Wallén, a bass, and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
