If I've understood the instructions correctly, this template takes an ISO 639 code for the redirect source language (in this case English, so en) and another for the redirect destination language (in this case Lithuanian, so lt). Only, it's not recogising lt, instead sticking by its default of "an as yet undetermined language". I can't figure out why; I've triple-checked and lt is indeed the correct code.
Whatever the issue turns out to be, this will require an admin to fix, as the template is full-protected.-- Newbiepedian ( talk · contribs · X! · logs) 00:38, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
I recently made this edit to the SCP Foundation article so that I would be able to use the same footnote for two different sections of text. The page now has two red cite errors on it, even though the footnotes did what I wanted them to do. What am I doing wrong, and how can I remove these cite errors?

group
parameter, which I have now supplied – if you wanted to display this note separately to the list of other notes it would need another "notelist" call, with no group
. I hope the edit I made will produce what you wanted

(talk), 07:44, 15 April 2018 (UTC)I accidentally closed a tab for an edit I worked for 2 hours on. Is there a way to get it back? I opened it immediately and it's gone. Alex of Canada ( talk) 06:08, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
Ref number 119 has been used unnecessarily twice in the grandparents section on this page. Please remove if you can and you also think it is unnecessary, as I do. Thankyou 175.32.12.25 ( talk) 08:11, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I recently changed my username, but a lot of my previous discussions on talk pages bear my old signature and link to my present userpage. Is there any way to prevent old signatures on talk pages from linking to my present userpage? I'm asking this for reasons of ensuring my privacy and preventing harassment. Thank you.

Hello, I've just edited
Template:Infobox isotope, and while doing so, I was wondering why there are those several identical lines ! colspan="2" style="background: {{{background}}}; color: {{{text_color}}};" |
Nuclide data
in the section beginning with {{#if:|
. As I've realized, this is not the case in the other sections, so would there be a way to adapt or rather improve the formatting within the section in question by avoiding those redundancies? Best regards--

Thyon ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
I recently spent time greatly expanding and improving an article on a Swiss location I know well. (By no means the first edit I have made in Wikipedia). I now see the rubric: "This article is written like a manual or guidebook. Please help rewrite this article from a descriptive, neutral point of view, and remove advice or instruction." Furthermore two edits have been made ("citation needed") where I have explained something precisely because it needs explaining, not cross-referencing,as no such references exist in Wikipedia. Whilst I am happy to review what I wrote, and make one or two modifications, I simply disagree with the assessment of it being a "manual" (!) and I would argue that any article in Wikipedia that includes descriptions of a place used for recreation or tourism inevitably has overtones of a "guide-book" - and if so, so what? According to Wikipedia's entry "encyclopedia articles focus on factual information concerning the subject named in the article’s title." In the article I am referring to, Thyon, there is nothing that is not fact, and I have in any event tried to give references where it would be helpful. I am very willing to "improve" but I would like to know: who makes such assessments? how and where can they be debated? Divonnais ( talk) 20:49, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
Is it generally considered acceptable to include pictures inside data tables, especially when doing so would result in a considerable lengthening of it? I haven't found much in the MOS about this. RAVENPVFF | talk ~ 23:07, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
