On 2 February 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gasklockan, Gothenburg, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that The Coca-Cola Company proposed painting a gasometer in Gothenburg, Sweden, to resemble a Coke can? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gasklockan, Gothenburg. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Gasklockan, Gothenburg), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

A tag has been placed on Category:Pages using link language with cat-lang requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

I wonder whether you think it might be possible to have a bot that will add missing merge proposal templates; or is this possible with Twinkle (I haven't found it, despite trying to look for it)? At the moment, I'm finding quite a few pages where we have merge to or merge templates on one page, but they're not present on the other page. Formally notifying in both spots might help to drive discussion, but also to ensure that interested parties are informed that a merge is proposed. Klbrain ( talk) 10:13, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey. Hoping you might be able to take a look at this. Basically, I'm changing Template:Blockchain notification to be a wrapper around Template:Gs/alert. But when I try to pass the sig param, it kinda messes up (see Template:Blockchain notification/sandbox). That's the same subst trick you used I think, but for some reason when I do {{subst:Blockchain notification/sandbox|sig=yes}} it just turns into a mess. I've tried removing the very first safesubst to see what it's outputting, and it does output the correct syntax ({{Gs/alert|cry|sig=yes}}), so if I were to subst this again manually it'd work fine, but somehow turns into a complete mess when doing recursive substitution. What am I missing here? Thank you! ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 22:04, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

I wonder whether you think it might be possible to have a bot that will add missing merge proposal templates; or is this possible with Twinkle (I haven't found it, despite trying to look for it)? At the moment, I'm finding quite a few pages where we have merge to or merge templates on one page, but they're not present on the other page. Formally notifying in both spots might help to drive discussion, but also to ensure that interested parties are informed that a merge is proposed. Klbrain ( talk) 10:13, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Looking at your deletion request at Template talk:Uw-npa1 and your closure of Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 July 1#Template:Uw-attack1-default is faulty. I see a consensus to delete Template:Uw-attack1-default as it replicates {{ Uw-npa1}} which should be kept. Cabayi ( talk) 11:32, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey. Hoping you might be able to take a look at this. Basically, I'm changing Template:Blockchain notification to be a wrapper around Template:Gs/alert. But when I try to pass the sig param, it kinda messes up (see Template:Blockchain notification/sandbox). That's the same subst trick you used I think, but for some reason when I do {{subst:Blockchain notification/sandbox|sig=yes}} it just turns into a mess. I've tried removing the very first safesubst to see what it's outputting, and it does output the correct syntax ({{Gs/alert|cry|sig=yes}}), so if I were to subst this again manually it'd work fine, but somehow turns into a complete mess when doing recursive substitution. What am I missing here? Thank you! ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 22:04, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
