Is it possible to have a WatchList that covers articles on multiple languages in Wikipedia? I'm asking for a friend who started on English Wikipedia, and now he has also started editing in Spanish, and wants to keep track of things in one place ... can that be done? -- Gronk Oz ( talk) 02:01, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
Once in a while, what if I find something that is almost to WP:SHARE and WP:LOGOUT? Tainted-wingsz ( talk) 04:21, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
The list of pages in a given Category breaks into additional pages after 200 entries. Is there a way (URL param or other?) to display the entire category on a single page without breaking? Thanks in advance, AUTiger » talk 05:58, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Support,
I am trying to push some updates on the Air Seychelles Wikipedia page. However, I got a message from Talk that I am not citing sources (Note that in the past, I cited sources from the official website but were declined). Kindly be advised that as a member of the company I am providing the correct information to be updated, but they are reverted back to original values. Recent changes that was made is as per below:
(1) Paris and Madagascar route no longer applicable as they have been stopped. (2) Number of Twin Otter aircraft reduced to 5 from the fleet. The Airbus A330 is no longer with the company, hence to be removed as well. (3) Codeshare partners with Jet airways, Etihad airways and South African airways (saa) only.
Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pvalmont ( talk • contribs) 06:01, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
I wish to report the fact that the photograph on the Harold Acton page, captioned 'Harold Acton', is definitely not him. It has appeared recently. Please can you help me get this information across. There are many photos of Harold Acton in the 1920s, all showing him bald or nearly bald, completely unlike this fellow who has a full head of hair.

At some point the editor switched and my edits are all tagged 2017 Wikitext editor. I have no problem with said editor.
My question is: there are tags for other models of editor, and a lot of edits are not tagged at all. What is the not-tagged-at-all editor? Is it the the former one from before Wikitext? How do I get it? When I push Edit the Wikitext editor is the one that comes up, so I would expect to see that tag all over. But I don't.
I understand that once in that editor I have an option to use some WYSWYG version, which I usually eschew. Is that the unmarked one? M.boli ( talk) 14:05, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
If I enter some text and make a reference, can I reference a source whose reliability I do not know, I assume that if it is not reliable it will be rejected. What is the easiest way to do this without causing confusion? Sui docuit ( talk) 14:41, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
please don't just assume some magic will happen: there is no computer program to tell if a source is reliable, either, if that is what you had in mind. Google and Facebook are full of smart people when it comes to algorithms, machine learning etc. yet Facebook's answer to fake news websites (admittedly a subset of "unreliable sources") for now is manual review and asking users to flag content. So you cannot expect a team of Wikipedia volunteers or staff to have that nailed down with automation. Tigraan Click here to contact me 16:56, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
I split the section of an article into another article and fixed incoming links. But then, I found that Special:WhatLinksHere was not indicating me the redirections to specific sections. For example, the articles that link directly to Jesus#Perspectives. What can I do to fix see them and fix this kind of links systematically? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaoGo ( talk • contribs)

but did not manage to make any of them work.
