Question from Teerathtomar (09:45, 19 April 2024)
Hello Codename Noreste, I hope you are doing well. I am new to Wikipedia and want to help the online community by adding/updating information on Wikipedia. As of now, I learned that many companies are not listed on Wikipedia. These companies are legitimate and have a public appearance. My question is: Can I create pages for such companies? If yes what are the guidelines for adding a company page? -- Teerathtomar ( talk) 09:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! You might want to fully read this page first, and note than autoconfirmed users (whose accounts have more than 10 edits and have 4 days of age or more) allowed to create pages in the mainspace, but there is the article wizard in which any user can create pages in the draftspace. This means that new articles can be created and developed for a limited period of time, and this allow editors to develop new articles and to receive feedback before being moved to the mainspace. Thank you! :-) Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 13:59, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Future changes
- This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of Special:MyPage/vector.js to Special:MyPage/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [4]
