What is going on with Wikipedia that I need to solve CAPTCHAs to show changes and show previews? Are we under attack? 2001:1C06:19CA:D600:295A:FB7C:2359:62D ( talk) 05:45, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello,
There is currently only one page about Emmanuel Daniel (individual's name); currently, this is the Nigerian footballer, but the disambiguation about the Malaysian publisher of the same name has disappeared. What is the reason for this? Can the page about the Malaysian publisher be reinstated? Citizenzen ( talk) 06:48, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Besides Special:Diff, is there another way to create a wikilink or hyperlink to a specific comment in an archived talk/discussion topic? StellarHalo ( talk) 07:40, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

this link. This will no longer work when this conversation is archived: the fragment will need prefixing with whatever path the archive has. For example, your conversation in November 2022 can be linked to by [[Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2022_November_2#c-StellarHalo-20221102055700-Cullen328-20221102051500"]]

There is a conversation on Wikidata:Project chat that may be of interest to the en:wp community. (I'm not sure that this is the right thread for this topic – please correct if there's a better place to post this information.) Cheers, Cl3phact0 ( talk) 08:33, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

In the 19th century section of this article, I added a file of an old photo - sepia tone/colour - 1890s of Alan Cecil Lupton at Eton. Please get the link on Alan to go DIRECTLY to his section on the Lupton family page. I cannot do this. Thank you. 175.38.42.62 ( talk) 12:58, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Basically I am trying to find "£" in certain articles so I can add the wikilink £. To do this I put this into search: [ "£" deepcat:"Port Vale F.C." ] But nothing comes up. Any ideas how to get round the search engine ignoring the £ character? Echetus Xe 13:59, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello. Today, I inserted a link into the article Paul Martin (illustrator). It's at reference 307 (click "p. 11"). It's a good link to a newspaper that shows an illustration by the artist. The problem is that after one clicks on that link, they can't hit the upper-left go-back arrow on their computer screen, and return to the WP article. But rather get into a loop. (Hence, one would have to close that page, and return to the article via WP's home page.) Should the URL be deleted or left in place? It's really just a nuisance if left in place. I don't know any way around this. Thanks, JimPercy ( talk) 17:53, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi all, "Travelling North" was initially a stage play written in 1989 by noted Australian author, David Williamson. 8 years later it was used as the basis for a movie of the same title. Until recently, Wikipedia had an article " Travelling North" which referred to the movie only (although there was one paragraph describing the play on which the movie was based); in 2020 I floated the idea of using that page for the play instead, and creating a new page " Travelling North (film)" for the movie by moving the contents of the original page there, to which no-one has objected; so 3 years later and a couple of days ago, I did that move, and then created new content for the original play (in effect a new page) at the original location "Travelling North". I note now that there has been a new Wikidata item created ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q121175772) for the stage play, and the previous wikidata item for the film, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7836079 has followed my page move and now correctly points to the new page at Travelling North (film).
I also have taken appropriate efforts to assess and, as needed, modify all of the 100+ previous wikilinks to the original "Travelling North Page", which were an undifferentiated mixture of references to both the play and the film, so that they now point to the correct targets.
I note however that there are 2 translated versions of the original page for the film, now linked from the new location and without the name change, in Welsh ( cy:Travelling North) and French ( fr:Travelling North), in other words they are now out of synch in various respects (in particular, their title, possibly other aspects I am unaware of) following my page move. Is this something I should be concerned about? Thanks in advance - Tony Tony 1212 ( talk) 19:22, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello,
I have to make a correct of our company name on Wikipedia. How do I edit the main title? It's corrected and updated accordingly in the copy itself.
How do I remove an old logo and replace with a current logo?

Hi Folks!! Does anybody know what "admits of various readings" mean. I found it in a document, searched for it and couldn't see anything. scope_creep Talk 23:45, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
