Two editors -- me being one of them -- are at an impasse in a disagreement over how a certain article should be edited. What's the next step I need to take? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk)
Note: The article to which references above are being made is this one: List of submissions to the 88th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 20:36, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
Reference help requested. How do I fix this? Thanks, Myhotdog ( talk) 02:33, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey y'all, anyone want to test their sleuthing abilities to figure out why there's a giant Featured List star at the top of SpongeBob SquarePants? It's clearly not a list article, so that's not correct anyway. I figure some template somewhere is out of whack, but I'm having trouble spotting it, and I'm a touch busy IRL at the moment. Much obliged. I'll toss a barnstar your way if you can suss it out! Thanks, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 03:59, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
@ Cyphoidbomb: This was a group effort discussion on IRC and the cause was finally found out by Mcmatter to be a full article transclusion of another page. This caused the article to hit its transclusion cap (as mentioned above). The cap caused all the rest of the templates to fail and caused the giant star. -- Majora ( talk) 04:44, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
How do I create a side box with pic on the right of an article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chbakol ( talk • contribs) 15:08, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
{{infobox xxx
up to the matching }}
. When you've pasted this into the top of the article you are working on, you can edit the fields appropriately. Be aware that you can only use the fields which are defined for that template: you can't just add another field and expect it to work. Each infobox template is documented, with descriptions of the available fields. --
ColinFine (
talk)Hello. If you go to User:Chesnaught555/sandbox you will notice that I am working on creating something for my user page. It is an image of the London Tower Bridge, from WM Commons, with my username over it. However, I would like my username to appear on the top left rather than the bottom left. Could someone fix this for me? Kindest regards, -- Ches (talk) 16:59, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians! I recently registered and added some pages to my "watchlist." I'm getting the hang of it but one thing I find especially difficult is following threaded talk page conversations. I've tried stepping through edits individually but oftentimes they'll alternate between two or more threads, which is difficult to follow. Alternatively, I can view all new edits at once (with "compare selected revisions") but still, links aren't clickable and posts with multiple diffs are difficult to read. I'm wondering if there's a gadget (or method) to make following discussions easier, for example, one that would highlight all new posts in a thread with a yellow background or some other visible marker. Thanks. – Halford Brimley 19:55, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
In the watchlish I want to watch the related changes that happens in the subcategories of a given category — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uni3993 ( talk • contribs) 20:48, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
I wanted you to know there is a mistake on your page for the Hell Gate Bridge. The Bridge did NOT open to rail traffic in 1916. It was 1917. I have a MINT book on the engineering and construction of the Hell Gate Bridge Published by ASCE in 1918. It states that the bridge was thought to be complete in 1916. But due to problems it was opened in March of 1917. In fact, it was opened to Rail Traffic and dedicated on March 9th 1917. I wish you would correct this as soon as possible. I believe you have seen my photographic work. My website is www.davefrieder.com Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.81.58 ( talk) 21:25, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
