Hello. How do I create a wiki page on a local artist? -- Moteitbe333 ( talk) 16:41, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello can you help me edited an article -- Praise Joseph ( talk) 10:31, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Qwerfjkl,
I hope you are well. I came across some of the categories mentioned in this nomination on an Empty Category list and I'm hoping you can adjust your CFD closure here. Could you please state what categories these nominated categories are supposed to be MERGED to? It's not clear to me. There are dozens of categories listed and I'm not proposing you go through each one on that long list and state what the merge target article is, but could you just include a statement in the closure stating what category tree they are being merged to? I'd appreciate it and I think if future editors want to know what happened to these cultural infrastructure categories, it's better to note this in the closure statement than try other ways to track down that answer should someone try to recreate these categories. Many thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 21:23, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Merge all to the buildings and structures category of the same year. I can modify the list of categories to add the merge targets if that'd help (it's a simple regex pattern), or I could just add "to buildings and structures tree" to the closing statement? — Qwerfjkl talk 21:28, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Comment/question: The bot is notifying me about a syntax issue, but the real issue is semantic: the previous content was formatted with nominally working syntax but was useless from the point of view of verifiability. I added some more cleanup tags in subsequent edits, please advise on ways to stop the bot from telling me water is wet in the future. TIA.

My edits were just to change the way info was referenced to be consistent with Wikipedia guidelines. so that the reference shows up in the References section of the article. The info in the article did not contain a title, and I was unable to determine the title, though the source and date were available.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu ( talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script
here!
After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

Hello. Just wanted to respond to your comment here and to say sorry. I was just hoping for a consensus; I didn't realize it could be considered canvasing.
